Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

When I opened it, I found out it was a reward for annihilating a Japanese brigade and two divisions of the Locust Army.

This should be the work of Fang Zheng and his team.

Lin Tian's appetite has become very picky now, so he decided not to even look at rewards of this level.

Anyway, after this battle, all the weapons and equipment rewarded by the system must be taken out.

By then, these weapons and equipment can at least equip half of the Eighth Route Army.

After fighting a few more major battles, the Eighth Route Army's appearance would be completely different.

However, Lin Tian noticed that the system prompts after Fang Zheng and his team annihilated the Japanese were different from the prompts when he led his troops to annihilate the Japanese.

After Fang Zheng and his men annihilated the enemy, the system referred to them as "the host's troops."

After Lin Tian personally led his troops to annihilate the enemy, the system said "the host and his troops".

Lin Tian noticed this phenomenon when Li Yunlong and his men liberated Ping'an County.

At that time, Lin Tian thought that Li Yunlong and his men were just his nominal subordinates, not soldiers from the first division.

Now it seems that there is no such reason.

Come to think of it, the system doesn't care what kind of soldiers are under the command of the deputy chief of staff.

It seems that the difference lies in whether this battle was fought by Lin Tian himself or by his own troops...

At this moment, the system suddenly started broadcasting again.

Lin Tian looked at the system rewards that suddenly appeared on the panel, and the fighter jets and bombers were accumulating.

Lin Tian knew that this was the result of Liu Zhenhua and his team's battle...

The Sichuan Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army that were ordered to come to reinforce were all dumbfounded. They had never seen such a speed of fighting.

In the past, people always talked about how elite the Japanese were and how swift their combat was.

After seeing the Eighth Route Army today, their views have completely changed.

It was clearly the Eighth Route Army that descended like a god from the sky...

At this time, the Central Army's Provisional 86th Army, which was ordered by Commander Song to reinforce the Sichuan Army, also slowly joined the battle line.

Army Commander Liu Yuntao witnessed the entire process with his own eyes. The big words "First Military Sub-district" on the Eighth Route Army flag were like a branding iron, imprinted in his eyes, shocking him for a long time and leaving him with lingering fears.

Last time outside Yi County, he had a rather unpleasant encounter with the First Military Sub-district. Lin Tian disarmed his five regiments, and he almost got into a fight with them.

Fortunately, he was scared at that time, otherwise...

Judging from the speed at which the First Division just annihilated two Japanese brigades, his army would probably not last more than half an hour.

You know, the combat effectiveness of his temporary army is not as good as that of the general central army. These two brigades of the Japanese can easily defeat them within a few hours.

I really can’t imagine it…

Liu Yuntao wiped the cold sweat from his head. It was already the hottest time of the year, but he was still shivering...

At the same time, Liu Yuntao was also glad that he did not dawdle too long on the way to support, otherwise he would have missed this shocking scene and would not have been able to realize the strength of the First Division in time. If he was unable to think clearly and had a conflict with others, his end would definitely be miserable.

The scene of Lin Tian bombarding their surroundings with cannons was still vivid in their minds.

Liu Yuntao doesn't want to experience it again.

Originally, Commander Song ordered Liu Yuntao to lead his troops to quickly support the Sichuan Army, but he was very unhappy about it.

During wartime, the most important thing is the troops under your command. If you have this army, you will be a respected commander. Without this army, no one will even look at you.

So he walked and stopped along the way, stopped and walked, and finally reached the Sichuan Army's defense line.

"Fan Jian! Song Rentou! Stay away from Division 1 from now on. If any of you show disrespect to me again and provoke anyone from Division 1, don't blame me for turning against you!" Liu Yuntao scolded the several division commanders behind him.

Speaking of which, the last conflict with Division 1 was caused by this idiot Fan Jian.

"Yes...General..." Fan Jian and Song Rentou answered in a daze.

They had also seen what happened just now, and this time they were really scared from the bottom of their hearts...

The other division commander, Zhu Nao, looked at Fan Jian and Song Rentou with a gloating look on his face, secretly happy in his heart.

……

Lin Tian's troops continued to attack and advance, and the Japanese were in trouble.

Kazuharu Furukawa sat in the command center, his hands on his command knife, his eyes closed, his expression heavy, and he said nothing.

He had just received intelligence that his three brigades had been completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, along with two divisions of the Locust Army.

What’s even more infuriating is that the Eighth Route Army destroyed his Lichuan Airport, and all his Type 03 poison gas bombs were also destroyed there.

This heavy blow made Kazuharu Furukawa unable to get over it for a long time.

Now, the Sichuan Army has received two more armies of reinforcements, making its defense line more solid.

And for some reason, the Chinese army, which had been a loose group, was unexpectedly united at this moment.

Things turned out to be beyond his expectations.

Originally, things developed as he expected, except that the Sichuan Army's resistance was a little more tenacious.

The Central Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army sat back and watched, allowing the locust army to attack the Sichuan Army without providing any help.

Current intelligence shows that the left and right wings of the locust army have each discovered two armies of the central army, which are making detours and preparing to outflank them.

This made Kazuharu Furukawa feel incredible. The Chinese army was no longer passively taking the beating, but instead took the initiative to attack.

Moreover, there was another piece of news that shocked him and made him feel helpless at the same time, that was the unexpected fact that the 1st Division of the Eighth Route Army was also divided into two parts at this time, rushing around in the heart of the Locust Army as if they were in an empty space.

His army of 100,000 had already lost more than 20,000 men and was now in danger of being divided, surrounded and defeated one by one at any time.

The battle situation seemed to be turning against the Locust Army.

The Sichuan Army's defense line has been unbreakable for a long time, and now the Locust Army has lost its bridgehead for attack. If they continue to fight with the Sichuan Army, the remaining 80,000 Locust Army will be in danger of being surrounded at any time.

Furukawa Kazuharu was shaken...

He began to think about retreat.

However, retreat is easier said than done.

As a general of the empire, he was unable to defeat the backward Sichuan Army with only 100,000 elite troops.

After returning, as a defeated general, he will definitely be brought to a military court.

Maybe he will even commit suicide to apologize to the world...

"Report to the Commander! Urgent information!" Just as Kazuharu Furukawa was thinking, the voice of Chief of Staff Daigo Minami interrupted him.

Furukawa Ichiji frowned, realizing that something was wrong: "What's the matter?"

"Report to the General! The Zero Fighter Squadron encountered the Chinese Air Force that attacked Lichuan Airport during the flight!"

"Colonel Chongtian Xinglin led his troops in a fierce battle with them. The Chinese Air Force was defeated and began to retreat!"

"Unexpectedly... unexpectedly, we were attacked by the Chinese Air Force who came to support us from the flank!"

"Now... now the two air squadrons have suffered heavy losses, with only 10 Zero fighters left. Colonel Chongtian Xinglin... has died..."

"This is the last words of Chong Tianjun. We have recorded it. Please give your instructions, General!"

Nanri Dawo reported with a trembling voice and a look of horror...
