Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

The battle on Lin Tian's side ended quickly.

Lin Tian stood on the position and listened to Liu Wu's report.

This time they killed more than 20,000 enemies and captured more than 18,000 devils.

Big win.

Up to now, the battle to liberate Taiyuan has ended with the victory of the Eighth Route Army.

The Japs sent out an army of 100,000, but all of them were wiped out.

This will surely be a battle that will shock China and the world.

……

"Brother Chen...should we go meet Commander Lin..." Zhang Jun and Chen Hu had met each other a long time ago. Their troops had become complete spectators and were unable to help at all. They simply withdrew from their positions to avoid being accidentally injured.

"That's what I meant. We want to get to know each other better so that if we unfortunately meet on the battlefield in the future, we won't be as miserable as the Japanese because of this encounter." Chen Hu said with emotion.

"Chief of Staff, please report the situation here to Commander Song." Zhang Jun naturally understood what Chen Hu meant, and turned around to instruct him.

The two of them, along with the guards, headed straight for Division 1.

……

Central Army Command.

Commander Song was shocked when he received the telegram from the front line. Even though he knew that the Japanese would be unable to resist after the First Division took action, he did not expect it to be so fast and so fierce.

Commander Song couldn't help but feel lucky that this division only emerged after the Anti-Japanese War. If this division had existed during the Long March, their national army would have died without a burial place...

"Send a message to the commander. The Japanese invaders who attacked Taiyuan have been completely wiped out. Should our troops retreat?" Commander Song said with a frown.

The war was over, and the issue of Taiyuan's ownership was put on the table again.

The superiors certainly don't want the Eighth Route Army to occupy Taiyuan, but the Eighth Route Army will certainly not give up Taiyuan.

If the commander insists, he won't be able to do anything...

The First Division is so powerful that the Japanese are no match for it. What can his army alone do to Lin Tian?

Besides, Lin Tian is not fighting alone. There are hundreds of thousands of troublesome Eighth Route Army soldiers behind him.

The best outcome is that the commander can understand this and order them to retreat, but... the commander is not that kind of person...

……

Li Yunlong's side.

Masao Kimitsu was still making his last struggle. His 17th Division's more than defeated soldiers had been surrounded by the Eighth Route Army. After repeated attacks, there was less than a brigade's strength left.

"Reporting to General, the Eighth Route Army surrounding us has reached 4 troops, and they seem to be determined to wipe us out in one fell swoop!" A Japanese lieutenant colonel reported in panic.

Kimitsu Masao looked as pale as death. After rushing out of the Black Wind Forest, he ran for ten kilometers without encountering any large-scale resistance.

They were very happy and thought they were going to break through, but they didn't expect that when they were happy, the Eighth Route Army would hit them hard.

At least five regiments of troops formed an unbreakable line of defense in front of them.

The so-called five regiments are actually the two regiments of Ding Wei and Kong Jie. After the division, the strength of these two brothers has improved by leaps and bounds. Although not as exaggerated as Li Yunlong's ten battalions, it is not much worse.

The locust army was already exhausted, while Ding Wei and Kong Jie's troops were well-rested and had only run a little, but this amount of exercise was nothing for the soldiers.

Fatigue could not stop the joy and excitement of defeating the Japanese. This was the first time they encircled and annihilated an entire Japanese division.

This was something they could not even think of in the past. Their entire regiment used to have a hard time defeating even a single battalion of the Japanese. They had to try every possible means and make sacrifices in order to have any hope of victory.

If the Japanese sent out a division to carry out a sweep, they would have no choice but to cover the transfer of their fellow villagers.

And now, they have the confidence to wipe out an entire Japanese division!

……

"Order the troops to launch a 10,000-degree charge and do their utmost to inflict the heaviest blow on the enemy!"

"The warriors of the Empire must not be captured. Put grenades in the arms of the wounded. If the enemy rushes to our position, we will die together with the enemy!"

Xiguang Zhengfu's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he held the command knife tightly with both hands, gritting his teeth.

He is an extremely stubborn warmongerer, his head full of the so-called locust army's fragmented ideas.

Therefore, most of the devils in the 17th Division under his command were of this type. They had been brainwashed by militarism and had long been a group of irrational beasts.

At a command from Masao Kimitsu, the Japanese soldiers under his command walked out of the trenches one after another, not afraid of bullets grazing their scalps. Even when their companions were shot to death, they showed no expression on their faces.

……

"Old Li, what are the Japanese trying to do? Why are they running out to die?" Kong Jie asked in confusion as he watched the scene in front of him.

"The Japs are getting furious and are making a final struggle! Damn it, these damn Japs are so stubborn!" Li Yunlong spat and cursed.

"Humph, since the devils are seeking their own death, we shouldn't be polite!"

"Our Deputy Chief of Staff Lin is right. As long as the Japs don't lay down their weapons, they are the enemy!"

"Since they refuse to surrender, I will satisfy them!"

"Order the troops to use machine guns to deal with these beasts!"

Li Yunlong drew out his broadsword and was about to lead his troops to fight the Japs with bayonets, but then he changed his mind and thought, now that they have no shortage of bullets, is it necessary to fight the Japs with bayonets?

He had said at the beginning that it would be so exciting if every soldier in his army had a machine gun and could just shoot at the Japanese whenever they saw them.

Now, although no one has a machine gun, the firepower of the troops is no longer the same as before. We no longer have to fight the Japanese with bayonets when we have no ammunition as before.

"Hahaha, you kid are really rich now, then we'll listen to you! It can also reduce some casualties!" Ding Wei and Kong Jie laughed.

"Follow my orders and wait until the Japanese get closer before attacking!" Li Yunlong ordered.

The Japs just lined up and walked towards them with bayonets in hand. Just like before, Masao Kimitsu thought that as long as they launched hand-to-hand combat, the Eighth Route Army would definitely fight back.

Because the Eighth Route Army was seriously short of ammunition, they often ran out of bullets as soon as the battle began.

The Locust Army also adhered to the spirit of Bushido and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Eighth Route Army.

Masao Kimitsu knew that the Eighth Route Army had launched continuous attacks during this period, and the amount of ammunition consumed was incalculable. They must be at the end of their strength now.

If the Locust Army launched a hand-to-hand combat, the Eighth Route Army would definitely fight back.

Fighting with bayonets, the locust army never fears anyone, they still have hope of breaking through...

"Kill the chicken for me!!"

"Your Majesty the Heavenly Locust will be shattered to pieces!! The empire will be shatter

Finally, all the Japanese soldiers walked out of their positions. A bloodthirsty madness flashed in Masao Yoshimitsu's eyes, and he waved his command knife and shouted.

"Ahhhhh!!"

"Shattered to pieces!!"

"Shattered to pieces!!!"

The Japanese soldiers' eyes turned red, and they shouted fanatically and charged towards the Eighth Route Army's positions.

"Haha, God helps me, fight for me!" Li Yunlong laughed with his eyes wide open.
