Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

"And, through our previous intelligence, we also learned."

"This mysterious 772nd Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army even possesses a large number of advanced weapons."

"Their light weapons are even more powerful than the Type 38 produced by the Empire in terms of range and power."

"I have reason to suspect that this Eighth Route Army should have received support from the Ugly Chinese."

"Otherwise, there would never be such an elite Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment."

Just as Neiji Okamura finished his words, Shimomura nodded and continued, "Mr. Okamura is right."

"According to our intelligence, this Eighth Route Army is not only well-equipped but also highly skilled in combat."

"Even their logistical costs are staggering."

"Such staggering logistical expenditures are simply not something the Eighth Route Army can support financially."

"So, what Mr. Okamura said about this mysterious independent group being supported by the Ugly People should be true."

After Shimomura Sada said this, Tada Shun thought about it and spoke subconsciously.

"Is this possible that the Central Army provided them with support?"

"After all, Ugly Country is far away from Dragon Country across the Pacific Ocean. How can weapons and equipment be transported here?"

However, as soon as Tada Shun finished speaking, everyone looked at him as if he were a fool.

This made Tada Shun look at everyone with some insecurity: "Did I say something wrong?"

"Tada-kun, do you think the man with syphilis would be willing to spend this money?"

"Don't forget, our North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters has already come into contact with people related to syphilis not long ago."

"They really want to be the second Wang Jingwei." Okabe Naosaburo said coldly.

Tada Shun was speechless after hearing what Okabe Naosaburo said.

Indeed, who is a syphilis? How can you be willing to spend this money?

Let’s not talk about whether there is money for syphilis.

He was just a small gangster from the Green Gang, but he was lucky enough to get control of state resources and he didn't even know how to make money.

I lost a lot of money in stock trading.

Although there was aid from Ugly Country, who doesn't know that the aid from Ugly Country to Dragon Country was obtained through the close cooperation between Mrs. Syphilis Song Sanmei and Marshall?

As for what the relationship between Song Sanmei and Marshall is.

You'll have to ask Mr. Syphilis's green bald head.

Therefore, would such a small gangster from the Green Gang be willing to take out the money deposited in the Ugly Bank to support the Eighth Route Army?

Haha, it would be more realistic to say that Yan Laoxi saved the country by developing industries!

At this time, Terauchi Hisaichi looked at Okamura Ningji and said, "Mr. Okamura."

"Anyway, the Intelligence Department has received Commander Yoshio Shinozuka's telegram requesting assistance."

"Should we consider sending troops as soon as possible?"

"Otherwise, if the First Army is really eaten up by the Eighth Route Army, it will be very disadvantageous to our empire's war in Dragon Country."

What Terauchi Juichi said makes a lot of sense.

Neiji Okamura was also a very cautious commander.

After seeing Terauchi Juichi raise the key point of the problem, he nodded: "Your Excellency is right."

"According to the order of the North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters, the 12th Army, the 43rd Army, the Provisional Aviation Corps, and the 35th Mixed Brigade will quickly head to Cangyun Ridge."

"We must save the First Army at all costs."

"We must not allow the 772nd Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army to defeat our imperial warriors."

The order from the North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters was issued immediately.

The Japanese 12th and 43rd Armies, totaling 60,000 people, marched quickly towards Cangyunling.

The North China Expeditionary Army's temporary aviation corps was also urgently mobilized.

They planned to dispatch 600 aircraft to attack the Eighth Route Army positions in Cangyunling the next morning.

The 35th Mixed Brigade tried to find a way to repel the Eighth Route Army and the Central Army that were blocking them along the way.

For a time, the entire northwest of Shanxi was in complete chaos.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Cangyun Ridge.

Everyone is wondering how this battle will end.

From Yan'an to Chongqing and then to Wuhan and Nanjing.

Whether it is the Eighth Route Army, the Central Army, the Wuhan National Government, or the Nanjing National Government.

Even everyone in the North China Nationalist Government was watching.

Countless people are waiting for the outcome of this war.

For the Dragon people, victory in this battle is extremely important.

Because this meant that the Dragon Country soldiers were completely defeated without any help from foreigners.

The Chinese people cannot defeat the ideological imprint of foreigners.

Everyone hopes to see the First Army being completely wiped out by the 772nd Independent Regiment.

But when he learned that the North China Expeditionary Force had dispatched two armies, an aviation corps and a mixed brigade for rescue.

Almost all the people of Long Country were silent.

This even includes Yan'an.

If the 772 Independent Regiment could have defeated the First Army before.

Now that there is such a huge disparity in power, no one wants to think about such things anymore.

This is no different from a fairy tale.

Even if the 772nd Independent Regiment was completely wiped out, they could not be a match for the Japanese with three armies, one mixed brigade, and an aviation corps.

Therefore, after Yan'an learned the news, it immediately sent a telegram to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi.

They demanded that the commander-in-chief immediately order the 772nd Independent Regiment to retreat as soon as possible and not to get bogged down in the quagmire of war.

And when the boss learned that the Japanese had dispatched three armies and an aviation corps with a mixed brigade.

Although he was somewhat unwilling, he still patted the table happily:

"Damn, the First Army is lucky this time."

"But the Japanese invaders are coming with great force. The 772nd Independent Regiment is great."

"But we cannot make unnecessary sacrifices. Tell the 129th Division to order the 772nd Independent Regiment to evacuate quickly."

"You can retreat if you only try to attack once, but you must retreat as quickly as possible."

"Otherwise, the Japanese's three armies, one mixed brigade, and an aviation corps will arrive at the battlefield in one day at most."

"The 772nd Independent Regiment is the signature of our Eighth Route Army's anti-Japanese armed forces in Northwest Shanxi."

"We can't let the enemy be wiped out."

Although the boss was unwilling, he still had a clear mind when it came to major issues.

The political commissar also quickly called the 129th Division.

When the commander learned the news, he was silent for a while.

It’s not a pity for anything else, but it’s a pity that the First Army was let go.

Damn, the Japanese troops came to support too quickly.

We still have the advantage in terms of numbers of planes, artillery and numbers.

If the 772nd Independent Regiment continues to fight, it will be delivering food to the enemy.

Although he was unwilling to accept it, he also understood that now was not the time to act on impulse.

The division commander originally planned to call Brigade Commander Chen and ask him to give the order.

But after thinking it over, the division commander directly called Zhang Ling on the position.

"Commander, the division commander is calling!" a soldier from the Communications Bureau ran over and said.

Zhang Ling was originally directing all members of the 772nd Independent Regiment to set up positions to confuse the Japanese.

Hearing that the commander was coming, Zhang Ling went to answer the phone with a puzzled look on his face.
