Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Today, the Japanese have deployed 55 people in northwestern Shanxi at one time.

It was obvious that the intention was to wipe out all the resistance forces in northwestern Shanxi.

Although Chiang Kai-shek hoped that the Eighth Route Army could win.

But on the other hand, he was secretly talking to Yan Laoxi, hoping that Yan Laoxi could preserve his strength.

Try not to provoke the Japanese as much as possible.

Instead, let the Japanese and the Eighth Route Army consume each other.

It would be even better if all the forces of the Eighth Route Army in northwestern Shanxi could be consumed.

After all, the European powers will eventually defeat fascism.

By then, Longguo will only need to serve as a dog for several European powers.

And Yan Laoxi also chose the same idea as Chiang Kai-shek.

Being able to work as a dog for someone without dying would naturally be the best thing.

Therefore, a rather special scene suddenly appeared in the entire northwest of Shanxi.

Zhang Ling's independent division has already blocked the Japanese troops' troop routes from Taiyuan through several directions.

Moreover, an iron wall was formed on the front battlefield.

Then the 55 Japanese soldiers were forced to fight head-on.

Yan Laoxi's Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, on the other hand, tried their best to hide in their garrison and not make any noise.

The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, which was close to the Japanese base, simply withdrew its base to a safe area.

This even includes Chu Yunfei.

Chu Yunfei received the news that Yan Laoxi ordered the 358th Regiment to retreat.

Although he was not very happy, he finally agreed to the order to retreat.

The main reason is that Chu Yunfei actually knows it himself.

This time, the Japanese assembled 55 troops with the aim of eliminating the resistance forces in northwestern Shanxi in one go.

The Japanese didn't take any action before, and they didn't know where to go because the resistance forces in northwestern Shanxi were not strong enough.

But it's different now.

Since some unknown reason, a powerful Eighth Route Army like Zhang Ling and his independent division appeared.

The Japanese were defeated by this special Eighth Route Army team, which wiped out several of their elite troops in succession.

All in all, the Japanese lost nearly 6 people.

The loss of 6 people.

From the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression to the present, the Japanese have lost less than 10 people in total.

And this Eighth Route Army killed 6 people.

In other words, 16 Japanese soldiers have been killed so far.

Just tell me whether the Japanese hate it or not.

Therefore, this time the Japanese assembled 55 troops to retaliate.

That is a done deal.

Therefore, even though Chu Yunfei wanted to participate in the war, he eventually chose to retreat.

Because he knew very well that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese devils was really not something that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army could match.

Riding on his warhorse, Chu Yunfei looked at his base.

He couldn't help but sigh to Fang Ligong beside him: "We are now being frightened by the Japanese and are running away with our tails between our legs."

"But the independent division of the Eighth Route Army has already deployed in full force."

"With 5 men, we are fighting the Japanese head-on. How can our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army have the face to call itself the backbone of the army?"

Fang Ligong also smiled slightly: "Commander, he who knows the current situation is a hero."

"The superiors have issued orders, and the regiment commander is just carrying them out."

Chu Yunfei smiled slightly: "Let's go, don't think too much, let's not wait for the devils to surround us."

"If we can't escape and get eaten by the Japanese, that would be a shame."

The 358th Regiment evacuated quickly.

On the other side, the entire Eighth Route Army base was also mobilized.

Since the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army took the initiative to give up its defense zone.

The Eighth Route Army also took this opportunity to expand its base.

Those non-enemy-occupied areas that were already unprotected were quickly occupied by the Eighth Route Army.

The local people also came out spontaneously to welcome them.

Among them is Li Yunlong’s new regiment.

That's the one who's most dedicated to occupying territory.

According to Li Yunlong.

In the past, those bastards in the Central Army occupied these good places and lived a good life.

Now there is finally room for the Eighth Route Army.

It just so happens that Old Li also wants to enjoy the good life.

And Old Li doesn't eat for free, he will definitely be decisive in fighting the Japanese.

Kong Jie and others quickly occupied all the cities abandoned by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

For a time, the territory of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army in the entire northwest Shanxi region was greatly reduced.

However, the Eighth Route Army's living space expanded.

Zhang Ling naturally knew all of this.

He also made this clear in his phone call to the headquarters boss.

The independent division will definitely be able to withstand the attack of the Japanese army of 55.

Allow the base areas to be completely liberated.

Although the boss was heartbroken, there was nothing he could do.

This time, the Japs made it clear that they were aiming to destroy the Eighth Route Army.

The enemy is like this. If you dare not fight back, you will only be destroyed by the enemy.

But if you dare to fight back, the enemy may not be destroyed by you.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Zhang Ling planned to eliminate at least 55 of the 20 Japanese devils.

In fact, this goal can still be achieved by the independent division.

The current independent division has been constantly replenished by Zhang Ling during this period of time.

It can basically be considered a 21st century army.

However, it still lacks modern equipment such as helicopters and rocket launchers.

Not to mention the more high-tech ones like the informationized forces.

But at the same time, the Japanese weren't that powerful either.

Moreover, the independent division is just not fully equipped now.

But their weapons in all aspects are at least three levels ahead of those of the Japanese.

This is still Zhang Ling’s lowest assessment. If he evaluates it seriously, I’m afraid it will exceed five levels and it won’t be clear.

Therefore, the goal set by Zhang Ling to eliminate 20 Japanese troops was still very easy to achieve.

"Commander." Zhao Gang ran over breathlessly.

"what happened?"

"Division Commander, the comrades from the Intelligence Bureau have sent us information that the Japanese 11th, 12th, 13th, and 21st Armies have begun to assemble and move out."

"And the Third Air Corps has also begun combat preparations at Taiyuan Airport."

"Looking at the Japs' appearance, I'm afraid they're coming for us this time."

After hearing what Zhao Gang said, Zhang Ling asked directly: "Are the anti-aircraft weapons on the battlefield ready?"

"No problem, Commander. Everything is fully equipped as you requested."

"The soldiers were even fully equipped with gas masks."

"Daily training is also strictly in accordance with the training manual given by the commander."

"In short, as long as the Japanese launch an attack, the entire division is confident that we can wipe out more than 25 Japanese troops." Zhao Gang said excitedly.

Zhao Gang is not just bragging.

Today's independent division is really extremely powerful.

In addition to the significant improvement in weapons and equipment, there was also an unexpected large supply of weapons and ammunition.

It is also related to the significant improvement in the physical fitness of all the soldiers in the independent division.
