I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 606: Political Commissar Yi’s Past

Song Wenwan: "If you operate properly this time, you can wipe out two or three divisions of the Japanese at one time."

Commander Yuan of the military sub-district and Political Commissar Yi looked at each other and wondered if these two people were speaking human language.

We were just countering a mopping-up operation, and now you want to wipe out two or three divisions of the Japanese?

This expert Song, whose origins are mysterious, is a member of our Eighth Route Army.

It's not very appropriate for you to speak so arrogantly in front of so many soldiers.

How could they know that because everyone was at different angles and heights, they naturally could not understand the situation in North China as a whole.

Song Wenwan and Lu Changfeng were not bragging. The focus of the Japanese raid in North China was on the Shanxi battlefield.

They only left three Type B divisions in Hebei.

The security battles that usually take place in Hebei are mainly maintained by a large number of puppet troops.

Due to the Eighth Route Army's massive raid along the Zhengtai Road in August last year, the losses of the Japanese and puppet troops increased sharply.

In order to open up the Shota Road as quickly as possible, Tada not only requested a new division from the mainland of Yamato, but also sent a new division from Yamato.

Tadoda also borrowed four field divisions from the southern battlefield to deal with the Eighth Route Army in North China.

Now Tada has the strength of five divisions in Hebei.

So when the number of troops increased, Tadoda started to have his own little ideas.

On the vast Hebei Plain, in addition to big cities like Beijing and Tianjin, there are countless villages and towns.

The old devil Duotian has long regarded this place as his granary.

How could we allow the anti-Japanese forces of the Eighth Route Army and the guerrilla division to have a share of the pie here?

Tadoda usually suffered from insufficient troops and every large-scale sweep was unsuccessful.

This time, taking advantage of the passage of the Southern Field Division, the Eighth Route Army and the Guerrilla Division temporarily avoided the attack.

He took the opportunity to launch a spring cleanup, hoping to wipe out the Eighth Route Army and the guerrilla division.

It’s a pity that Tada miscalculated one thing.

Although the Gannan Allied Forces were targeted by the temporary capital, the Seventh Guerrilla Division was away all year round.

Their supplies rely on airdrops, and the command is in the hands of the division commander Lu Changfeng.

Therefore, the sanctions from the secondary capital could not hurt Lu Changfeng at all.

Another thing is that although the national army in North China has received orders from the temporary capital.

They were not allowed to help the Eighth Route Army's base areas and fight against the mopping-up operations.

But can Lu Changfeng be an ordinary person? His troops always have two to three sets of different military uniforms all year round.

Guerrilla divisions during the day and the Eighth Route Army at night. They are very familiar with this routine in Shanxi.

So when the Japanese invaders launched their sweep, the Eighth Route Army had a very hard time at first.

After a while, they were able to cover the area with artillery fire again.

This made the old devil Tada always believe that the Japanese troops on the front line were fighting poorly and used this excuse to escape punishment.

They were unable to find out important information, such as the fact that the guerrilla division had secretly joined forces with the Eighth Route Army.

They don't even know what kind of strength they possess, so how can they gain an advantage?

The division that came from the south to support their mopping-up operation was indeed a powerful army that had experienced many battles.

But they came to North China for another important purpose, which was to receive new soldiers and fill their own establishment.

Unexpectedly, there has been no replenishment of troops and the soldiers have not had sufficient rest.

He was sent by Commander Tada to fight in Shanxi and Hebei.

The newly formed division that came from Japan was fully staffed.

Unfortunately, they are all a group of new recruits. It is unknown how much combat effectiveness they can exert when they arrive on the battlefield.

The losses incurred by Tada's three Type B divisions in Hebei during the raid have not yet been replaced.

Therefore, the five divisions that he was so proud of were only left with three and a half at best.

So it was the Japanese field brigade that swept through the Huyashan base.

The reason why they were quickly defeated by the guerrilla division was because their own troops were not fully staffed.

Relying on their advanced weapons, they drove the Eighth Route Army and the villagers into the mountains.

But if they were to encounter the Seventh Guerrilla Division, whose weapons were no less powerful than theirs and who were well-rested, they would be no match for them.

In addition, the puppet troops in Hebei were so incompetent that they could not help at all.

But when it comes to temporary betrayal and battlefield uprising, he is very good at it.

Just shooting the Japanese from behind caused harm to a lot of their elite troops.

So, this elite division coming from the south is now left with only an understaffed brigade.

Now Song Wenwan and Lu Changfeng’s battle intentions are very clear.

This Type A division that strangled the Japanese army also destroyed a security division.

In this case, Tadoda would either withdraw his troops from Shanxi and return to Hebei to provide assistance.

Or they could withdraw the remaining three divisions and defend major cities such as Beijing and Tianjin.

Then leave the vast rural areas to the control of the Eighth Route Army and the guerrilla divisions.

What do the rural areas of Hebei represent? They represent hundreds of thousands of soldiers!

This is something Tadoda cannot allow. The masters at the base will eat him alive.

There is another thing, that is, the people of Shanxi after spring sowing.

They would actively "help" the Japanese to restore the Zhengtai Road in Shanxi.

Now that transportation on the Zhengtai Road has been restored, the Japanese invaders' large-scale sweep in Shanxi will be defeated without a fight.

Commander Yuan and Political Commissar Yi looked at the battlefield, which had already been cleaned up by the soldiers.

The guerrilla division did not keep any of the captured spoils.

On the contrary, the Japanese infantry guns and mortars had long run out of shells.

The guerrilla division's artillery was thoughtful enough to leave twenty shells for each gun.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army expressed their sincere gratitude to them.

What they couldn't understand was why those people from the guerrilla division had flickering eyes.

Artilleryman of the guerrilla division: Can I tell you that we will all be very happy if we don’t have to carry these hundreds of artillery shells back?

Song Wenwan looked ahead and saw Political Commissar Yi, who was still persevering and staring at her. She felt uneasy.

He turned around and asked Lu Changfeng in a low voice: "Uncle-in-law, what's going on with Political Commissar Yi?

Why does he keep staring at me?"

Lu Changfeng: "I heard that this Political Commissar Yi came back from the Russians.

He studied under the political commissar department there, and this guy is usually very dogmatic.

He is not even a little bit worse than the Political Commissar Zhao Gang you brought back. He is not flexible at all."

Song Wenwan nodded to show that she understood. This was a "Zhang Pujing" type of person.

He is principled and inflexible. He believes that everything is either black or white, which makes him quite stubborn.

Think about it, they just rescued your people and are friendly troops fighting the Japanese.

The key point is that they are nearby and have more than 50,000 regular troops.

You should at least give others a little face.

Song Wenwan: "Isn't this a high-end talent? How come he was assigned to a military sub-district in Huya Mountain?"

Lu Changfeng: "I originally wanted him to go to Hengshan and study with the graduates of the Anti-Japanese University for a while.

But when he came back from abroad, he wanted to join the army to participate in the anti-Japanese war.

The leaders did not want to destroy his enthusiasm for anti-Japanese resistance, but were also afraid that he would not be able to accept the dual management model at the Hengshan base.

So we sent Comrade Yi all the way to Wang Bidada."
