Time travel! Regrets will never happen again!

"Report!" A hurried report came from outside the door of the battle command center in Jing County.

Lieutenant General Tadao Yoshizawa, the battle commander and commander of the 3rd Mixed Brigade, heard the anxious voices outside the door and felt a little ominous.

Trying hard to get rid of the bad thoughts in my mind, I shouted to the door, "Come in!"

With a "click", in the eyes of the staff officer of the Telecommunications Department, the Lieutenant General overturned the coffee table in front of him after reading the telegram.

"Asshole! Asshole! Can anyone tell me why things have developed to this point!"

"Bagaya! Matsumoto deserves to die, and Yoshida Shigeru also deserves to die!" Lieutenant General Tadao Yoshizawa kept roaring and cursing in his own command center!

The telegram in front of me is an urgent telegram sent by the Third Regiment of the Imperial Army.

They broke through the Eighth Route Army's blockade last night and rushed to the canyon where the Matsumoto Battalion was defending overnight.

But what surprised them was that the Eighth Route Army that had been holding them back seemed to have disappeared overnight.

Until they arrived at the canyon, there seemed to be smoke rising out of it.

When the first platoon of soldiers entered the canyon, they were so frightened by the horrific scene inside that they ran out in a panic.

The entire Third Regiment of the Imperial Army never entered the canyon again, but immediately came to an open field and began digging trenches despite the severe cold.

At the same time, everything that happened here was sent to the campaign command as soon as possible, which led to everything that happened above.

The Matsumoto Battalion was completely wiped out! Yes, that's right, the entire army was wiped out, and not a single person escaped.

Many people died in horrific ways, and many parts of their bodies were already festered. In such cold weather, what could cause large-scale festers on the skin?

Considering that the soldiers of the Matsumoto Battalion who died did not suffer any external injuries, and the soldiers who entered the canyon and came back to report, many of them smelled a fruity scent.

Some veterans of the Third Regiment can now confirm that Matsumoto's Battalion was attacked by poison gas bombs. Specifically, it was the poison gas bombs fired by the enemy, or they carried their own poison gas bombs and happened to be hit by enemy artillery and exploded!

More than 1200 people in the Matsumoto Battalion were wiped out after this mopping-up operation.

On the second day after Matsumoto's battalion was destroyed, the Japanese squadron led by Yoshida Shigeru, which set out from Niangzi Pass, was also completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.

The 3rd Regiment of the Imperial Army and the Japanese squadron that went to reinforce from Jingxian did not stay for a moment when they learned that Yoshida Shigeru's reinforcements had also been killed.

They hastily abandoned most of the supplies that were inconvenient to carry and quickly retreated towards Jing County.

There were no professionals to collect the bodies of the locust soldiers from Matsumoto's battalion, and no one dared to touch them.

A platoon of soldiers from the Third Regiment who entered the canyon underwent comprehensive disinfection immediately upon returning, and they were also isolated.

They are not allowed to move around freely within 15 days, and can only live a normal life after the warning is lifted and they are not harmed by the poisonous gas.

This time, the Eighth Route Army unexpectedly and powerfully annihilated a battalion of the Japanese army, which was almost something that had never happened on the battlefield in the flower-growing areas since the war began.

After annihilating the Matsumoto Battalion, they turned around and wiped out another reinforced squadron.

In order to avoid greater casualties, the campaign command immediately called a halt to this winter mopping-up operation.

However, the Japanese army did not announce the annihilation of the Matsumoto Battalion and the Yoshida Squadron, but only announced that the winter mopping-up mission was successfully completed.

The predetermined goal was successfully achieved, and nearly 1.7 resistance forces including the Eighth Route Army and the National Army were eliminated.

A large number of Eighth Route Army bases were destroyed, and the resistance forces around the entire Jing County were wiped out.

However, after the Japanese announced the end of the mopping-up operation, the Eighth Route Army showed to outside news organizations in a high-profile manner photos of the Japanese Matsumoto Battalion and the reinforced squadron led by Yoshida Shigeru being wiped out and corpses everywhere.

Once these photos were exposed, the entire Japanese First Army and even the North China Expeditionary Army felt as if they had been slapped in the face.

But the Japanese are notoriously shameless and thick-skinned!

They claimed that this was fake news fabricated by the Eighth Route Army. A battalion of the Locust Army could fight against a division of the National Army. How could they be completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, which was poorly equipped and could only fire three rounds of bullets in each battle?

In addition, Guo Su was unwilling to publicize the Eighth Route Army. Even if the Eighth Route Army really achieved such results, they were still unwilling to believe it.

Of course, Wang Chun had already returned to Xiulin Town, where they were stationed. They had been struggling in the mountains and forests for nearly twenty days, and the year 42 had quietly arrived.

The Japanese invaders have been making rapid progress in Southeast Asia in recent months. On December 12, 7, more than 40 Japanese Southern Army troops commanded by Terauchi Hisaichi attacked Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Britain and Burma in several routes.

On December 12, they invaded Thailand and bombed the Philippines. On the 8th, they invaded Malaya. On the 9th, they landed in the Philippines and attacked Guam. On the 10rd, they attacked Wake Island.

Manila was bombed on December 12, and on December 9, 1941, two days after the Japanese landed at Aparri and Vigan in North Luzon, they landed at Legazpi in South Luzon.

On December 12, the main force of the Japanese army landed in Lingayen. On the same day, the Japanese army landed in Atimonan and then launched a concentric attack on Manila.

On January 42, 1, the Japanese army occupied Manila.

The US and Filipino defenders led by MacArthur were unable to resist and retreated to Bataan. In order to prevent MacArthur from becoming a prisoner, the U.S. government ordered him to transfer command to Wainwright and go to Australia to serve as the commander of the Allied forces in the Southwest Pacific Theater to command Allied operations in the area.

The whole of Japan was shocked by the success of the southward advance, the great results achieved, and the decline of the brutal combat power of Europe and the United States.

The whole country was in an uproar! It turned out that the yellow race could be superior to the white race.

Japan shouted that Asia is Asia for Asians, and this sentence spread rapidly in Southeast Asian countries.

They did so under the guise of liberating the people of Southeast Asian countries, helping them drive out the colonizers and establish their own countries.

In the early stages of the war, a large number of local people helped Japan, which to some extent made the Japanese attack easier.

Instead of continuously wasting manpower on the flower-growing battlefield, it is better to temporarily stop large-scale military operations there.

Send more troops to Southeast Asia to expand territory for Japan and obtain valuable resources that Japan cannot obtain in the Flower-Growing Country.

The entire North China Expeditionary Army was once again asked to transfer four divisions to the Southeast Asian battlefield. Japan has decided to deal with the Philippine monkeys as soon as possible.

After taking over Indonesia, the US military would move south along the Indonesian archipelago and attack Australia, and the US military's defense system in the entire Asia would collapse.

They will completely lose control of Asia and Australia, with these vast lands and almost unlimited resources.

Enough to support the locust country’s dream of dominating the world!

After nearly one-third of the Japanese troops in North China were withdrawn, expanding the North China Security Army became a must.

Because of its outstanding performance in this mopping-up operation, Wang Chun's Third Regiment was originally going to be expanded into an independent mixed brigade. Now, the order from the headquarters has come down.

The commander of the Japanese First Army simply waved his hand and expanded the Third Regiment into a division-level combat unit, the Model First Division.

As the name suggests, it means to be someone that those people will see. As long as you are sincere in working for Japan, the locust army will use you and you don't have to worry about not being rewarded for your merits or not being punished for your mistakes.

At the same time, a large number of puppet army commanders who performed very poorly in this mopping-up operation were punished.

This made Wang Chun the envy of many people. If it weren't for the fact that this guy was so outstanding, the other puppet soldiers would have seemed so useless.

All those who were punished hated Wang Chun. Wang Chun thought this was like a long-awaited rain. Come on! The more people hated him, the better.
