Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

Nozoe Changde was really anxious.

After chasing for a long time,

He lost the trace of the main force of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.

As a result, when I turned around, the entire Da Puchaihe Town was lost!

This made him more certain.

The opponent in front of him must be the main force of the army!

He hurriedly led two battalions of Japanese troops and drew punitive forces totaling more than 5,000 Japanese and puppet troops from Fusong, Huadian and other places, and rushed towards Da Puchaihe Town with murderous intent.

Xinjing, Kwantung Army Headquarters,

The new Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Kimura Heitaro, stood in front of the desk and said respectfully,

"Commander, Nobue Changde called and said they have captured the main force of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces' First Army!"

Mijiro Umezu was cheered up. This was probably the best news he had heard in the past few months!

"where is it?"

He hurried to the battle map hanging on the wall.

Kimura Heitaro pointed to a location.

"In Da Puchaihe Town! At present, Ye Fuchangde has already rushed there personally, striving to completely wipe out the First Rifle Army of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces!"

Umezu Mijiro said,

"Chief of Staff Kimura has just arrived in Manchuria and has devoted himself to his work without sleep or food. It is really gratifying!"

"Commander, the enemy situation in Manchuria is so serious that I dare not slack off in the slightest!"

Umezu Mijiro asked again,

"Chief of Staff, do you have any good ideas for dealing with the Yanwang bandit group in Jingbo Lake?"

Kimura Heitaro hesitated for a moment.

"I dare to say, Commander, I think the previous strategy of the crusade was a big mistake!"

Umezu Mijiro nodded.

"Keep talking!"

Kimura Heitaro said,

"To deal with a strong opponent, we cannot rely solely on military strikes. The empire's limited manpower and resources need to be used in many other places, and these past two years have been wasted on the King of Hell!

Therefore, I think the next step should be to focus on political offensives, supplemented by military strikes. Specifically, we can consider sending people to negotiate with the King of Hell to see if the other party is willing to negotiate peacefully. At the same time, we can increase our infiltration of the Jingbo Lake base, induce the key members of the base to surrender, or even assassinate them!"

Umezu Mijiro nodded continuously.

"Your point of view coincides with that of the head of the secret service Qin Yansaburo. In the next stage, I plan to let him do it. In this way, I will let you report directly to me later!"

Michijiro Umezu's thinking is also constantly changing. This year's international situation is unpredictable. Germany is unstoppable on the European battlefield and has occupied the entire European continent except for the Soviet Union and Britain!

After taking over the Indochina Peninsula, the Japanese army faced a dilemma. On the one hand, they obtained some necessary strategic resources, but on the other hand, sanctions from the United States were escalated!

The United States has frozen Japan's assets in the United States and soon announced that it would consider imposing an embargo on strategic materials such as oil on Japan.

There is a strong voice in the Japanese military calling for war with the United States.

In this context, if the Kwantung Army cannot eliminate internal hidden dangers as soon as possible, it will directly affect the next strategic plan!

Umezu Mijiro added,

"I have reported to the headquarters that we plan to establish the Third Army. Lieutenant General Tada Shun will be the commander of the Third Army and will be responsible for military operations in the Jingbo Lake area. You should concentrate on your work and stay at the headquarters to work with Qin Yansaburo on how to deal with the King of Hell!"

"Hayi!"

Da Puchaihe Town,

Noon,

Twenty liberation fighters were added to Pan Hu’s battalion!

Because their battalion suffered heavy casualties in the battle, the entire brigade was allocated 40 liberation fighters, and Wang Yaohui gave half of them to Pan Hu!

At the same time, Pan Hu and his battalion were given a task, asking them to guard a road leading to the southeast!

West Phoenix Mountain,

Pan Hu set up a guard position secretly on the hillside.

The soldiers dug trenches and machine gun positions.

They even used tree branches for camouflage!

More than 200 meters down the hill is the Ful River and the road along the river.

On the road,

A wooden fence is erected

Two soldiers stood behind the fence.

Looking towards the east with vigilance,

Wang Yaohui's task for Pan Hu was to first block and delay the enemy's attack when encountering the enemy, and then report to the brigade in a timely manner!

Since the boss planned to encircle and annihilate Ye Fuchangde in Da Puchaihe Town, Ding Shan and Wang Yaohui agreed that the defense should be carried out on the periphery, and the strength of the Japanese army should be continuously consumed before finally letting the enemy into the town!

At noon,

On the southeast road,

dusty,

A cavalry unit appeared!

The two sentries immediately ran towards the town in panic.

These cavalrymen were also the Japanese army's vanguard reconnaissance troops, with about 50 people. When they saw the running Anti-Japanese Allied Forces sentries, they immediately became excited.

They waved their sabers, let out strange shouts, and rushed forward madly!

Seeing the distance getting closer,

Sentinel Zhang Liwen lay down directly and hid behind a slope of earth, with a sly smile on his face!

His companion Wang Cheng next to him had a look of panic on his face. After all, he was a soldier who had just been liberated. When he saw the Japanese soldiers, he was so scared that he almost lost his soul!

"Come here, come here! Get down, get down!"

Zhang Liwen shouted, he raised his rifle, aimed at the cavalry less than a hundred meters away, and pulled the trigger.

"Wang Cheng, throw the grenade!"

The Japanese cavalry also found it very strange. It was the first time they encountered infantry that ran halfway and then started to resist!

Da da da,

On the hillside next to it,

Three machine guns began to roar!

The cavalrymen fell down in droves in an instant.

The surviving cavalrymen all had terrified expressions on their faces, knowing that they had been ambushed.

Wang Cheng has a unique skill. He can throw the melon grenade over 60 meters away, which is twice as far as the average soldier. He has long arms and great strength.

This time when I went out, I actually brought 20 grenades with me.

As machine guns fired on the hillside, he threw grenades one by one.

Seeing that only a few Japanese cavalry were left in the blink of an eye, Wang Cheng suddenly felt that these Japanese were not that great. They all had two shoulders and one head, so who was afraid of whom?

After destroying the Japanese cavalry, Pan Hu hurriedly ordered the communicator to ride back on horseback to report the enemy situation!

He knew that these cavalrymen were just the vanguard of the reconnaissance and the main force was still behind!

Though the ground was covered with dead bodies and horses,

But no one rushed down to clean up the battlefield!

The soldiers are all on high alert.

Quietly waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army!

More than half an hour later,

A large number of people began to appear on the road.

Groups of Japanese and puppet troops rushed over!

The first to appear were undoubtedly the puppet troops.

They started setting up six mortars!

Boom boom boom,

A row of shells began to hit the woods and hillside beside the road.

The puppet army’s artillery didn’t know where the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces’ positions were!

The shells were fired randomly.

Three rounds of artillery shells were fired.

The puppet army began its attack!
