Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Zhang Ling's words also resonated with Li Yunlong.

"That's right, treat me well."

"We treated them well before because we were not strong enough. We had no choice but to find a way to win people's hearts."

"But it's different now. I can kill him, so why would I give him any preferential treatment?"

"I treated the Japanese well, but can my dead compatriots let me go?"

"Won't my dead compatriots curse me to death?" Li Yunlong also nodded and said.

Kong Jie even said cheerfully, "Ding Wei, don't be so soft-hearted."

"We are soldiers, and we must avenge our compatriots."

"Not to mention our fallen comrades."

Ding Wei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he picked up his glass and said, "That's right, kill him!"

In this way, several people happily ate meat and drank wine in the position.

In front, the 30,000 Japanese soldiers who broke through were blocked in their positions by the independent division.

It only takes an hour.

These 30,000 people were completely wiped out.

Almost 20 points were added to Zhang Ling’s mind.

Yes, there should be many Japanese soldiers with high official positions among these 30,000 people.

Otherwise, 20 people should not be able to get points.

The commander of the 13th Regiment also came over and said cheerfully, "Commander, it's all done."

"Let's not block these 30,000 little devils on our positions and kill them all."

"I have discussed with several other regiment commanders and decided to move our positions forward and continue to approach the Japanese positions in Taiyuan."

"The purpose is to prevent the Japanese from breaking through."

I heard that 30,000 Japanese soldiers were killed.

The three of them were also shocked and dared not speak.

It's only been an hour.

This... this is too fast.

Thirty thousand Japanese devils are not thirty thousand pigs.

Even if there are 30,000 pigs, it would take the independent division three days to catch them all, right?

How come it was scrapped in just one hour?

Zhang Ling also knew it in his heart.

The firepower of the independent division he formed is probably almost the same as that of the Soviet Union's Third Division on the Eastern Front.

No, to be precise, there is no problem with the quantity, but the quality is even better.

It now seems that there will be no big problem in completely wiping out the 55 Japanese troops.

"Well, we have had enough to eat and drink today."

"Li Yunlong, take your people and go clean up the battlefield."

"I'm going to take a nap now."

"Tomorrow we will surround the Japanese in Taiyuan."

"By then, we will take over Taiyuan within a month at most!"

……

Taiyuan, inside the North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters.

As Terauchi Hisaichi looked at the battle report in his hand, his hands began to tremble slowly.

He couldn't believe it, he really couldn't believe it, that the battle report in his hand was true.

55 elite warriors of the empire.

Less than five days after the war began, a total of 28 soldiers were killed.

The remaining 27 imperial soldiers had seen their morale and fighting will decline to varying degrees.

Terauchi Hisaichi really couldn't figure it out.

How come the Eighth Route Army in northwestern Shanxi suddenly became so powerful?

You know, when Yoshio Shinozuka's First Army was there, people in northwestern Shanxi basically didn't even look at the Eighth Route Army.

There is no other reason. The Eighth Route Army’s combat effectiveness is too poor, and its weapons and equipment are even worse.

There's nothing wrong with calling them the Beggar Army.

As the central army of Dragon Country, the Japanese did not even take them seriously.

What’s more, these are the beggar-like Eighth Route Army.

However, such an army that was not taken seriously by the empire's elite forces was destroyed in just half a year.

Such a terrifying army was formed.

An army of 55 against a force of 5.

No matter what, I have the advantage and can win.

But the problem now is that the empire's elite are dying in battle at an extremely terrifying rate.

And there is no way to recover.

This startled Terauchi Juichi, but he soon realized something.

This time I met a very formidable opponent.

But even if I knew it, it would be useless.

You know what the use is.

No, you will still be beaten.

At this time, Heitaro Kimura walked in.

He also held a telegram in his hand.

But from the look on his face, it's probably not good news.

Terauchi Hisaichi looked at him and said calmly, "28 of our warriors have been killed."

Kimura Heitaro was stunned for a moment, then he took out the telegram: "This is a telegram from the headquarters."

"Mr. Tojo of the headquarters is very angry now."

"He hopes we can give them a reasonable explanation of what kind of stupid command it was."

"28 people were killed by the -man Eighth Route Army."

See the telegram in Kimura Heitaro's hand.

Terauchi Juichi couldn't help but sneer.

"I'm afraid this is just the beginning. It may not be long before the entire North China will be occupied by the Eighth Route Army."

"If they start a mass production campaign right here, I'm afraid the entire Dragon Country will fall into their hands."

"I think the headquarters should think about how to get the Eighth Route Army's forgiveness after the defeat."

"Commander, you can't say that." Kimura Heitaro said seriously.

However, at this time, Terauchi Juichi no longer had any concerns.

He also stood up and looked at the map hanging on the wall.

Finally, he simply said: "Now things have come to this point."

"Even if we want to do something, I'm afraid it's impossible."

"The combat effectiveness of this Eighth Route Army has already exceeded our imagination."

"Kimura-kun, you and I will wait to serve the Emperor faithfully."

……

at the same time.

Throughout Longguo, the news that 28 Japanese North China Expeditionary Force were killed by the Eighth Route Army Independent Division in northwestern Shanxi spread like wildfire.

The non-occupied areas were already filled with newspapers.

However, in the occupied areas, due to the brutal suppression by the Japanese invaders, such news was not reported in the newspapers.

The newly published newspapers continued to boast that the imperial army was invincible.

Not only did they annihilate 200,000 Eighth Route Army soldiers, but they also captured several leaders in Yan'an alive.

According to incomplete statistics, these leaders were captured alive more than 100 times.

Of course, the people in the occupied areas know this clearly.

This is the Japanese trying to cover up their defeat.

However, everyone was very happy.

It was only a matter of time before the Japanese were defeated.

As long as it was bad news about the Japanese, everyone would naturally be very happy.

Because of this, this battle also brought new challenges to the people of Dragon Country who have been living in darkness.

Brought a glimmer of hope.

Originally everyone thought that the country was destroyed, the family was ruined, and they would die and the clan would be wiped out.

But I didn’t expect that in such a dark moment, there would be such a group of national heroes who sacrificed their lives and shed their blood.

In order to drive away the invaders, they were willing to die first.

How can one not be moved by such tragic and heroic spirit?

Therefore, many people in the occupied areas also secretly tried to find ways to get help through local underground workers.

We tried every possible way to donate money and materials, hoping to support the Eighth Route Army's fight against the Japanese invaders.

For a time, Yan'an also received donations from many patriots.
