Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

At this time, Zhang Ling said directly: "Stop arguing."

"This time, the main focus is on attacking Luoyang, Zhengzhou and Kaifeng."

"Whether we can take these three cities is related to whether we can go north to liberate Beijing, Tianjin and Zhangjiakou in the future."

"Comrades, after fighting this far, the Japanese are basically waiting to die."

"We can counterattack then."

"Once we take over the entire North China Plain, it will be time to attack the Northeast."

“So, this battle is extremely important.”

"Zhao Gang, you are responsible for leading the 789th Brigade to defend Taiyuan."

"Yes."

When the commanders of the three brigades of the 789th Brigade heard that they would stay, they were all unhappy and at a loss for words.

But there is no way, because the commander gave the order.

And Zhang Ling was looking at the 1-6 Brigade.

"You six brigades, choose your own partners, two brigades in each direction."

"This time, I will equip each of your brigades with 200 howitzers."

"There are also 180 tanks."

"Not to mention mortars, heavy machine guns and other light and heavy weapons."

"Fuck you, pay attention and don't lose points."

"Anyway, I want you to take all three cities within 24 hours."

"Do you understand?" Zhang Ling said.

"Yes!" The brigade commanders of the six brigades agreed excitedly.

Previously, Zhang Ling had exchanged a large amount of equipment, medicine and food supplies for the entire independent division.

Now the entire independent division has 200 155mm howitzers in each brigade.

There were also large numbers of tanks as well as heavy machine guns and mortars.

By the way, there are plenty of grenades and other things.

Not to mention new equipment like the flamethrower.

In short, the entire independent division is now fully staffed and morale is high.

The soldiers ate well, slept well, and had adequate nutrition.

Such a kingly team.

You must not liberate the city in your direction within 24 hours.

It's hard to explain.

Zhang Ling's order has been given.

He immediately led the 1st and 2nd Brigades to Luoyang.

According to information from comrades in the Intelligence Bureau.

All 30 national troops have entered Zhongtiao Mountain.

We are now confronting the Japanese.

However, the national army did not know what was going on.

In the confrontation with the Japanese, we had the upper hand in terms of manpower, weapons and firepower.

They were actually held hostage by 3 Japanese soldiers on the Zhongtiao Mountain position.

In fact, Zhang Ling had already anticipated such news.

There's no way. Given the combat effectiveness of the National Army, you can't have too high expectations of them.

If you expect too much.

It's easy to cause tons of critical hits to yourself, you know?

But this is also a good thing, as it provides opportunities and time for Zhang Ling's independent division.

The six brigades were divided into three directions and advanced separately.

There is only one requirement, after reaching the destination.

The city must be taken within 24 hours.

Now Zhang Ling’s independent division is also the only unit with trucks.

This kind of treatment is unique in the entire Eighth Route Army.

Of course, the boss's jeep was also exchanged by Zhang Ling.

There were also jeeps belonging to the division commander and the brigade commander.

After all, I used to be his subordinate.

It depends on how much care you take.

Therefore, the CEO and the heads of the headquarters are now much more impressive.

They all have jeeps for transportation.

But after all, there are not many soldiers in the independent division who can drive.

Now all the soldiers in the independent division are learning driving skills.

Therefore, this time, we can only move forward on our own two legs.

There is no way, there is a truck but no driver.

This is the most painful thing.

In this way, they marched all the way to a valley.

Zhang Ling asked the soldiers of the reconnaissance squad to conduct some reconnaissance first.

Then, make sure there are no problems.

This allowed the soldiers from the 1st and 2nd Brigades to go into the woods to rest.

This is an important principle for the Eighth Route Army’s march.

That is to choose to rest in the woods as much as possible.

This is to avoid the situation where the target is too large and eventually exposed.

After entering the woods.

Zhang Ling skillfully took out the individual rations and started eating.

This is a type of individual ration that he specially exchanged for the soldiers.

There are compressed biscuits, mineral water, milk, chocolate and other calorie-replenishing items in it.

Oh, and cigarettes.

It can be said that such individual rations are the best things for field marches.

Zhang Ling was still eating.

Li Dazhuang, who was standing by, came over and asked, "Commander, our soldiers are well-equipped now."

"Why don't we take Luoyang in one fell swoop and then head north to drive the Japanese out of Henan?"

Zhang Ling smiled slightly: "Do you think I don't want to?"

"But Taiyuan has just started to develop, and various heavy industries and military industrial factories have just been established."

"What we need most now is time."

"The longer it takes, the better it will be for us, once our own arsenal can be self-sufficient."

"Then we will be able to find ways to equip more of our own troops."

"At that time, our Eighth Route Army was divided into several groups and attacked Gansu, western Tibet, Xinjiang and other places."

"The whole way is to go north to attack Rehe and Chahar."

"Let's go straight through the border into the Northeast and wipe out all of the Japanese Northeastern Army in the Northeast."

"In this way, the entire Dragon Kingdom is generally in our hands."

"At that time, we can turn around and sweep away Chiang Kai-shek like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves."

"Stop letting him continue to bully us ordinary people."

Hearing Zhang Ling's words, Li Dazhuang was a little excited: "Commander, that day is not far away."

"It's not far. Our commander has said so, so we definitely won't want to." Monk Wei came over.

Zhang Ling looked at these familiar faces.

For a moment, I felt a lot of emotions.

He really didn't expect it.

I was originally just a social animal.

Unexpectedly, by chance, I traveled to this world.

It also helped the Eighth Route Army establish its own completion system.

He also built an iron army that made the Japanese devils tremble in fear.

Just think of such an adventure. How many people have it?

"Don't worry, this day will come sooner or later. Aren't we moving towards our goal step by step now?"

……

Wenxian position in Zhongtiao Mountains.

Tang Huaiyuan held a telescope and looked at the 5000 Japanese soldiers on the opposite position.

These 5000 Japanese soldiers were stationed in positions outside Wen County ten days ago.

Tang Huaiyuan led his 3rd Army to defend the opposite position.

During these ten days, Tang Huaiyuan spread false information through sneak attacks, luring the enemy, and even making up rumors.

All the plans to lure the Japanese into their pocket formations ended in failure.

So much so that Tang Huaiyuan had no idea what to do.

"It seems that the Japanese on the other side are determined to defend to the end."

"Commander, I'm afraid we have to think of another way."
