When the city was breached, the Japanese were ready to ignite explosives to blow up important warehouses. Unfortunately, they thought too highly of themselves and did not understand the independent brigade's combat methods.

As early as this afternoon, when the reconnaissance troops were still conducting outer reconnaissance, the special operations battalion had already infiltrated the city.

In one afternoon, they had already found the important warehouses and facilities in the source city.

The Japs are installing explosives right under the noses of the special operations battalion. How the hell can we let them succeed?

impossible!

When the Japanese squad leader who was responsible for blowing up the material warehouse and important facilities asked his men to ignite the explosives, he discovered that all the explosives he had planted in the afternoon were gone.

My Yamata no Orochi, where did the explosives go?

The Japanese were still looking for explosives in the warehouse like headless flies, but the special operations battalion had already taken action and kept all of them in the warehouse.

The Japanese squad leader's calves trembled as he listened to the shouts and screams at the city gate. He kept turning his head to look in the direction of the city gate, anxiously waiting for his men to come back, or for the sound of explosions from the warehouse.

Unfortunately, not only did he not see anyone, he also did not hear any noise. Not only that, when someone grabbed his neck from behind, he was still thinking about his wife and children in his hometown.

At 11:28 p.m., there was no more living devils in the city, so Wang Dabao led Wu Gang into the city.

The two men looked at the bodies of the Japanese soldiers in the makeshift fortifications on the street and shook their heads.

This devil died too peacefully, it would be better if I were the one to kill him.

"Reporting to the deputy brigade commander, the Japanese installed explosives in an important warehouse in the city this afternoon, and our special operations battalion learned of it.

After the attack outside the city began, I ordered the soldiers to collect all the explosives and all the warehouses were safe and sound!"

Wu Gang was shocked. At that time, the Eighth Route Army did not have much experience in attacking cities.

Fortunately, the independent brigade had powerful weapons and sufficient ammunition, which gave them the appearance that the siege was not a big deal.

Who knew the Japs would be so decisive? Once they found they couldn't resist, they immediately prepared to blow up the supplies.

If the special operations battalion had not entered the source in advance, this independent brigade would have suffered a great loss.

"Well done, you are all great. It is true that a strong general has no weak soldiers. The soldiers trained by Captain Wang are indeed worthy of the title of the strongest independent brigade!"

The Special Operations Regiment directly under the Independent Brigade is now headed by Wang Su. The regiment has 896 people. All three battalions of the Special Operations Regiment followed most of the operations.

The main function is to cooperate with the soldiers of the reconnaissance company to find out the enemy's situation, enter the city occupied by the Japanese in advance, and protect important supplies.

"Thank you, Deputy Brigade Commander. We still have many shortcomings. We did not expect Yoshimura's regiment to retreat southwards during the battle of Sucheng. This is a lesson for us."

The commander of the 1st Special Operations Battalion, Qiao Feng, was not very satisfied with his performance after this appearance.

Wu Gang also knew that Wang Su had very strict requirements for the soldiers of the special operations group, and the most important thing was that they could not afford to offend Wang Su, so he did not respond to Qiao Feng's words and said,

"Have you investigated the supply situation? I received a telegram from the brigade headquarters tonight asking us to transport half of the supply back to Yu County."

"There are six granaries, each with ten tons of food. There are not many weapons in the arsenal, only enough for one brigade, which should be used to replenish the weapons that were scrapped on the front line.

Other supplies include oil, cotton, military uniforms, etc. There are many types of supplies.

In addition, we should have seized more than 80 Japanese trucks."

Wu Gang was careless, and someone sent him a pillow when he was sleepy. The two regiments he brought with them all had their trucks useful. If these trucks were used to transport supplies, it would have a greater impact on the combat effectiveness.

It would be much easier to capture the Japanese trucks, as there are many people in the independent brigade who can drive.

When the supplies in Yuanyuan City began to be transported, 30 miles outside the city, Liu Zhaosheng and the soldiers of the Sixth Regiment intercepted the Yoshimura Regiment that was desperately rushing to Yuanyuan.

The regiment commander Yoshimura Rio was reprimanded by his superior's superior, the commander of the 36th Brigade, Yamauchi Ikki, when he met the brigade headquarters, so the person leading the team now is the chief of staff Tanakayoshi.

After receiving the order from his superiors, Tanakayoshi immediately ordered his troops to rush to the source. He knew the importance of the source.

Once the source was lost, the troops of the 108th Division that entered the base area for a sweep would lose their logistical supplies.

This was absolutely fatal to the 108th Division, which only carried three days of rations.

At 10:46 p.m., the 117st Regiment entered the city and the th Regiment engaged in a firefight with the th Regiment.

Zhao Shengzheng came here in a hurry. After the troops arrived here, they didn't even have time to dig trenches before the Japanese troops arrived.

With no other options, the Sixth Regiment could only look for advantageous terrain and engage in a skirmish with the Japanese.

Zhao Shengzheng believed that even in an encounter, the Japanese could not be a match for his Sixth Regiment.

As expected, as soon as the firefight started, the powerful automatic firepower of the Sixth Regiment made the Japanese unable to raise their heads.

As soon as Tanakayoshi ordered the artillery to set up positions, he was caught off guard by three rocket launchers from the Sixth Regiment's rocket launcher platoon.

The Japanese artillery units had no time to dodge and were destroyed at the first sight.

The artillery of the independent brigade not only has a larger caliber and a longer range than the Japanese, but more importantly, it has faster communications.

The enemy's Type 92 infantry gun has a relatively short range, so it can be used as a visual attack. In this way, the observation post of the Sixth Regiment can certainly spot the enemy's artillery.

The short-range walkie-talkie made information exchange among the independent brigade’s artillery extremely smooth.

After the observation post discovered the enemy artillery position, the rocket artillery position in the rear received the real-time coordinates.

The Japanese artillery position had just been built, and the Sixth Regiment's artillery shells had appeared right above the Japanese artillery position. It would be strange if the Japanese could win.

Tian Yezhongyi's eyes reflected the flames rising from the artillery positions, and he was extremely panicked.

Only then did he realize how lucky they were to have successfully escaped the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army in the battle of Sucheng.

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, give the order to move in immediately. The firepower of the Eighth Route Army is too strong, and the warriors have suffered heavy casualties!"

Tian Yezhongyi looked around and saw that there were fewer and fewer people who could shoot back. Many Japanese soldiers had pressed their bodies tightly behind trees or rocks and could not move at all.

He sighed helplessly and said, "Turn around. When you go back and see the brigade commander, Major General Yamauchi Ikki, you must tell him.

The firepower of the Eighth Route Army Independent Brigade is extremely powerful. Each regiment is highly mechanized and highly mobile, and also carries a large-caliber heavy artillery regiment. "

The Japanese captain asked in shock, "Sir Chief of Staff, you can tell the brigade commander these words yourself!"

Tian Yezhongyi smiled bitterly and said, "I led the troops out to support the source, but was defeated by the Eighth Route Army halfway. How could I go back?

You should move your troops in immediately, and if possible, retire when you return."

When the Japanese captain saw that Tanakayoshi was not leaving, he turned around and found the signalman to give the order to move forward.

Then he said to Tanonakayoshi, "Take care Tanon-kun!"
