Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

At this moment, the two were speechless.

It seemed that they both guessed what the other was thinking.

After a long time, Tojo also sighed and said, "Ishihara-kun, you should pay close attention to the situation in the North China battlefield of Longguo."

"If General Okamura is unable to lead this victory, then let the North China Expeditionary Army quickly retreat to the Northeast."

"It doesn't matter even if North China is lost to the Eighth Route Army."

"Then, I will make a suggestion to His Majesty the Emperor, hoping to restart the work of Tong."

"The rise and fall of the empire depends on this one move. If we are counterattacked by the Dragon Nation."

"I'm afraid our entire empire will face huge problems."

Ishiwara Kanji also knew that this was a different situation, so he didn't waste any more words with Tojo.

Turned and left the Cabinet Office.

Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Tojo didn't know what to say for the first time.

at the same time.

On the Taiyuan position.

After three consecutive days of fighting, the Japanese troops in Taiyuan were reduced from 27 to 20.

In addition to the 7 deaths, there were still 20 troops guarding the outer positions of Taiyuan.

But among these 20 people, there were some wounded soldiers. At the same time, a large number of Japanese soldiers had lost confidence in the war.

Many Japanese soldiers also knew that this mysterious Eighth Route Army unit only wanted to capture pilots, truck drivers and tank drivers.

Kill all the others.

If it had been in the past, the worst that could have happened would have been a fight with the Eighth Route Army.

If you fight with all your might, you will always be able to break out.

But what no one expected was that the combat effectiveness of the current Eighth Route Army was beyond everyone's imagination.

There is no way to break through.

Forget about breaking through, even trying to hold on for one more day is a luxury.

This is basically how the battle continues to this day.

The 55-strong North China Expeditionary Force had already failed.

There were even some brave troops from other Eighth Route Army units and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

Taking the opportunity, they began to seize the territory of the North China Expeditionary Army.

Some puppet troops also surrendered in an organized manner.

We are not fools. We all know the terrifying combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army Independent Division.

Basically you want to beat them.

That's almost impossible.

Therefore, the natural avatar that can surrender.

After all, the puppet troops were just trying to make a living, so they surrendered very quickly.

If you haven't done anything harmful, then basically no one will pursue your case.

But if you have done anything against the law, the anti-traitor team will come to your house tonight.

The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army also planned to attack Zhongtiao Mountain after the independent division finished this battle.

Therefore, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army started with Chu Yunfei and then other division-level combat units.

They are all secretly and quickly deploying around the area.

They even tried to seize the main transportation routes leading to the Yellow River and Handan.

The entire Yan'an was also very clear about this.

The Eighth Route Army commander also knew this.

But now all the attention of the Eighth Route Army is focused on the remaining 20 Japanese devils.

Several large cities near Taiyuan were all liberated by the Eighth Route Army.

Li Yunlong and others were also ordered to garrison in the newly liberated cities.

At the same time, Li Yunlong and others also received orders from the headquarters, requesting the Eighth Route Army to form regiment-level combat units.

Quickly carry out the work of appeasing the people and maintaining public security in each city.

Also, start expanding your troops as much as possible at the same time.

When Li Yunlong heard that the army was going to be expanded, he was naturally very happy.

How many people are there in his new regiment now?

At most, there are only 4000 people.

That’s not enough for Old Li to have fun with.

In addition, Li Yunlong, together with the New 1st Regiment, Ding Wei and Kong Jie had previously robbed a large amount of the Japanese equipment.

This is a good time when there are more weapons and equipment but fewer people.

Therefore, as soon as Li Yunlong entered the city, he immediately asked the comrades in charge of conscription to carry out propaganda.

Soon, the Eighth Route Army troops in the cities occupied by the Eighth Route Army also expanded greatly.

At this moment, Zhang Ling was still leading the independent division to slowly erode and surround the Japanese positions.

Just yesterday, 5 men from the independent division completely surrounded Taiyuan and the outer front-line positions.

It can be said that the possibility of the Japanese retreat has been completely blocked in a physical sense.

Just kill the remaining 20 Japanese soldiers and generals.

Then Taiyuan will be within reach.

Zhang Ling has already spoken to the boss on the phone.

Taiyuan belongs to him, and no one can take it away.

And the boss naturally agreed.

To be honest, given the achievements of the independent division, it will be no turn for anyone else to occupy Taiyuan.

Who dares to take the credit?

Moreover, Taiyuan is currently the largest city of the Eighth Route Army.

This symbolic meaning is really great.

Therefore, three days ago, Zhang Ling stopped the military factories in Heli City from frantically producing weapons and ammunition.

Now the weapons and ammunition of the entire independent division are basically piled up in mountains for the soldiers to fight with.

Anyway, it’s just one sentence.

Don't be afraid of wasting bullets, there are enough weapons and ammunition

Just hit them as hard as you can and kill all the Japanese.

Total annihilation, total annihilation must be achieved.

This is what Zhang Ling requires now.

The soldiers of the independent division were also in high spirits.

The battle continues till now.

Ten days have passed without telling me.

The total number of deaths in the independent division was about 500.

There were no more than 100 people seriously injured, and about 1000 people slightly injured.

In addition to the captured pilots, tank soldiers and other professional soldiers, the Japanese also captured

In fact, there are not many, only about 200 people.

Zhang Ling just wanted to train combat personnel for special forces, so he didn't need much.

The rest all died in battle.

A total of 35 people died in the positions outside Taiyuan.

And they all died at the hands of the independent division.

It can be said that the combat effectiveness of the current independent division is really a nightmare for the Japanese.

With such a terrifying existence, how can the Japanese fight against us?

Moreover, Zhang Ling also made arrangements with the soldiers of the independent regiment.

The overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia hoped to wipe out these last 20 Japanese devils.

By then, we will give the independent division 100 aircraft and each regiment a 155mm howitzer artillery battalion.

There is also a tank battalion, as well as a large amount of logistical supplies and medical supplies.

There are also heavy industrial equipment, military factory equipment, and hospital equipment.

This is also one of the reasons why the soldiers of the independent division have high fighting spirit.

Wow, these overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia are really nice.

After the fight, that's really good stuff.

The soldiers can't wait any longer.

Basically every day, soldiers were frantically advancing towards the Japanese positions.

And the soldiers of the artillery brigade have 360 ​​155mm howitzers.

It was really like free money. We just fired shells at the Japanese positions all day long.

It's really terrifying.

Such horrific artillery coverage directly confused the surrounding war reporters and military observers from various countries.

When did the Eighth Route Army become so financially prosperous?
