Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

Outside the Black Wind Forest, the main force of the 772nd Regiment has arrived. This time, Blind Cheng is leading the team personally, and he is determined to catch the Japanese off guard.

"Captain, what are these little Japanese guys yelling about in there? Do you think we should send someone to investigate first?" asked a battalion commander.

"Okay, let's do some reconnaissance and quietly take out the Japanese sentries outside first, then sneak in, and after we eliminate their heavy firepower, we'll launch a charge!" said Blind Cheng.

The battalion commander nodded and personally led a platoon of scouts into the Black Wind Forest.

The soldiers of the spearhead platoon polished their bayonets, carried grenades and rifles on their backs, and looked steady and calm.

Everything went smoothly. The Black Wind Forest had dense vegetation and tall trees. Although it was noon, the sun could not shine in. Only a few beams of sunlight could reach the forest. The Black Wind Forest was dark, and the Eighth Route Army soldiers, who were sweating from the heat, even shivered after entering the forest.

So this is why this place is called Black Wind Forest.

So, the battalion commander and his men dispersed and successfully and quietly eliminated half of the sentries.

In the forest, although the Japanese killed 20 horses to satisfy their hunger, there were too many wolves and too little meat, and with more than people, there was not enough to share.

Those who were quick naturally ate their fill, while those who were slow were still hungry and could only dig some grass roots and tree bark in the forest to fill their stomachs.

Fortunately, the birds and animals in the forest had been scared away long ago, otherwise they would have been in great trouble.

"Battalion Commander, the Japanese are so miserable that they have started eating grass roots and tree bark..."

"Hey, hey, you deserve it!"

"That's right, the Japanese devils don't stay at home, but come to China to kill people. We should starve them to death!"

The vanguards of the 772nd Regiment who saw this scene laughed out loud. The Japanese finally got their day.

"Shh, stop talking nonsense. First quietly deal with the lone ones, then use grenades to greet them, and then we'll retreat!" a battalion commander hissed.

Then the sharp knife platoon scattered, and after a while, the sounds of dozens of grenade explosions were heard in the woods, followed by the Japs' screams and hasty firing.

But at this moment, the spearhead platoon had already withdrawn, and the artillery platoon of the 772nd Regiment immediately used eight mortars to concentrate fire to attack the Japanese in the Black Wind Forest.

"Damn it! These Eighth Route Army soldiers are so despicable. They are everywhere we go!"

"Leave two teams behind to cover the retreat, and the others should retreat immediately!"

Kimitsu Masao was so startled by the sudden attack that he stood up and gave the order.

Masao Kimitsu knew very well that once the gunfire rang out here, the pursuers from the surrounding Eighth Route Army would soon approach.

He can't stay here long.

"Commander, the Japanese are retreating! Should we chase them?!" The battalion commander who returned to Blind Cheng asked after reporting the Japanese's movements.

"You take your men to eat up the remaining Japanese troops, and I will continue chasing!"

"Haha, once we start fighting here, Li Yunlong will come right over here like a wolf smelling meat!"

Blind Cheng laughed.

He understood that this group of Japanese invaders could not be defeated by his 772nd Regiment alone. He was only an assisting force, a member of the pursuing troops. The main attack had to be carried out by Li Yunlong.

Speaking of Li Yunlong, Blind Cheng got angry. All the good things belonged to Li Yunlong. Even his weapons, equipment and manpower were far ahead of his own.

However, he is not a petty person. Although he often complains, they are just complaints. They are all comrades who eat from the same pot, and their relationship is still very solid.

……

Independent regiment.

Li Yunlong led three battalions to clear out the remaining Japanese troops when he suddenly heard the rumbling sound of artillery fire in the distance.

Li Yunlong stopped what he was doing.

"Damn it, that's Blind Cheng's 772nd Regiment. It looks like this guy is in conflict with the Japanese!"

"Zhang Dabiao, stop cleaning up the battlefield, bring your men and follow me!"

Li Yunlong made a quick judgment and gave the order.

"But commander, the spoils..." Zhang Dabiao stammered.

Although the independent regiment is rich now, the Japanese weapons and equipment are also valuable things and cannot be thrown away just like that.

"No, haha. Our independent regiment can't lose the big picture while picking up sesame seeds. The main force of the 17th Division is the fat meat. Let the local armed forces fight these small groups of devils. As for the spoils, it depends on who is lucky enough to pick them up!"

"Old Zhao, tell Old Ding and Old Kong to quickly move towards the 772nd Regiment!"

"Haha, this fat meat, our Lao Li will eat it first!!"

Although Li Yunlong also felt sorry for the spoils, the 17th Division had more good things and he could not lose the big picture for the small one.

Then he gave the order.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie acted separately from Li Yunlong and his men. After receiving the telegram, they immediately moved towards the direction of the 772nd Regiment.

Another war is about to begin.

……

It is said that Chen Hu and Zhang Jun of the Central Army have successfully joined forces, and Chen Jun's left-wing army has already greatly killed and consumed the Japanese blocking forces.

Zhang Jun's right-wing troops quickly eliminated the Japanese from the side and rear.

Now the four armies, totaling 120,000 people, continue to pursue Miki Kiyoaki's troops.

Soon he caught up with Miki Kiyoaki's tail, and the two sides started another fierce battle.

Zhang Jun and Chen Hu left one army behind to hold back the Japanese, while the rest of the troops were divided again, intending to outflank the Japanese from the left and right wings.

Miki Kiyoshi was extremely anxious. The Central Army was chasing him relentlessly. If he stopped, he would face the risk of being surrounded.

It was only 65 kilometers away from here to Hebei Province. He was about to be safe, but he was surrounded by the Central Army again.

He was very familiar with this tactic, which was a tactic often used by the Locust Army against the Chinese army.

However, this time the situation was reversed, and the Central Army used their own tactics to outflank them, which was really frustrating.

This time, Chen Hu and Zhang Jun were fully aware of the importance of speed in battle. After dividing their forces, they quickly dispatched the two most mobile vanguard troops to cut off the enemy's retreat.

This battle depends on who runs faster...

……

On Lin Tian's side, the soldiers had already captured all the prisoners. Groups of soldiers tied the Japanese into bunches with ropes and rushed to the rear.

"Report to the commander. We killed many Japanese leaders in this battle, including a lieutenant general. Here is the lieutenant general's command knife and a torn list that the soldiers found."

"The knife should have belonged to the Japanese commander Furukawa Ichiji, but he was beaten to pieces."

"In addition, the captured Japanese leaders include..."

Zhou Weiguo came to Lin Tian and reported.

"What? More than 25,000 killed? Only 15,000 captured?"

"Forget it, forget it. Fifteen thousand devils are enough for now. We still need to eat if we have more."

"You arrange for a few groups of soldiers to escort them back to Taiyuan. After the battle is over, you can deal with them later."

Lin Tian was shocked by Zhou Weiguo's words. They fought for dozens of minutes in total, but they didn't expect to kill so many Japanese devils.
