Anti-Japanese War: Plunder the devils to create a super army

Yamamoto Ikki probably never thought that he would become the target of Wang Lin's exploitation.

In addition to this, Wang Lin also gained nearly 3 military merits during the battle.

Just for solving the problem of Taiyuan Airport, he was rewarded with 5000 military merits.

However, after the battle was over, all Wang Lin had left in his hands was his military merits.

There was no other way around it. Wang Lin needed to exchange a large amount of weapons, equipment, and various resources for the independent regiment to pick up.

Although his military merits have never been improved, the independent regiment gained a lot from this operation.

Judging from their current material situation, they have no problem even fighting for several months, as they have more than enough ammunition.

Not only that, the various supplies and food alone are enough to keep them going for several months.

There's nothing wrong with eating meat every meal.

This is definitely the biggest gain they have made since the operation began, and it is also the capital for the expansion of the entire independent group.

Deputy Regiment Commander Kong Jie led a small team out yesterday to gather information from the surrounding villages to see if they could recruit some soldiers.

Several other teams also went to other villages to recruit soldiers.

After returning and having a big meal, the independent regiment continued with training.

Although the entire independent regiment has been completely transformed after this battle and possesses combat effectiveness comparable to the elite among the elite, it still needs regular training to maintain its combat effectiveness.

With so many supplies, replenishing training materials and supplying food have become more convenient.

However, the battle over the Zhengtai Railway is not over yet.

After the independent regiment returned, it continued to make corrections and expansions step by step.

The battle on the Zhengtai Railway was still going on, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army was fighting the Japanese very fiercely.

The Japanese sent a large number of reinforcements and more troops to recapture part of the railway.

But immediately afterwards, the Eighth Route Army launched another more fierce attack and assault.

During this battle, the Eighth Route Army continuously destroyed the surrounding transportation lines and Japanese strongholds around the railway and base area.

The Japanese army's control over the areas surrounding the Eighth Route Army's base areas was greatly reduced, eliminating the marginal threat to the Eighth Route Army.

The intensity of the battlefield seems to be rising.

Wang Lin estimated that the war would probably continue soon.

Although these small local troops only have the strength of a regiment, they are still a force and will definitely be sent to the battlefield again at critical moments.

The battle on the Eighth Route Army's side was very simple. Part of the army could go back to rest after the battle, and the other part could go up again.

The two armies constantly switch back and forth, which can also provide a certain degree of relaxation and prevent the army from collapsing due to too much pressure.

On this day, Wang Lin was guiding Xie Baoqing's troops in training.

After the previous battles, Xie Baoqing's troops were no longer just a bandit army.

Wang Lin gave them the entries, and Political Commissar Zhao carried out ideological transformation on them.

In addition, there is the training camp for the veteran squad leader of the Special Operations Company.

Today, the combat effectiveness of the Second Company of the Special Operations Battalion has been greatly improved compared to before, and the overall morale has also been greatly improved.

This is a very rare thing.

It takes a very long time to transform a bandit into an excellent soldier.

However, this matter was shortened a lot in the independent regiment.

Looking at the soldiers of the second company who were training in front of him, Wang Lin nodded slightly.

"Good, keep training."

Just when Wang Lin was painting a big picture for Xie Baoqing, a young soldier suddenly ran over from the side.

"Report to the staff officer, the commander asked you to gather at the regimental headquarters."

The regiment headquarters is gathering, it seems there is some big operation going on.

Wang Lin arrived at the regiment headquarters quickly.

The regiment headquarters was very lively at this time. In addition to Wang Lin, Kong Jie, Zhao Gang and the battalion commanders had already arrived.

Seeing Wang Lin arrive, Li Yunlong also spoke.

"We just received news that the headquarters' previous battle against the Zhengtai Railway was very effective. The current main battle direction has shifted and is no longer just targeting the Zhengtai Railway."

"The superiors have just issued a notice, asking the rest of our troops to attack the Japanese and obey their orders."

"However, because our group is special, we don't have to obey orders from our superiors and can act on our own."

Originally, a regiment like theirs must follow the brigade's plan.

As a result, Li Yunlong did not expect that Brigade Commander Chen would directly give him the greatest autonomy and let him act freely.

If this is the case, then they certainly cannot act casually, they must do something big.

Wang Lin quickly understood what Li Yunlong meant.

In the past, they would definitely not dare to act rashly, but the situation is different now. Their independent regiment is strong and capable of doing something big.

So Wang Lin spoke directly.

"Dechang County is a nice place. It's relatively close to where we are, and it's not very big."

"According to the intelligence we gathered earlier, the Japanese inside only have a squadron of troops, but the number of puppet troops is quite large."

"But this amount of troops is no problem at all. As long as we can break through the county wall, we can easily capture Dechang County."

The Japanese troops in the county town generally do not have many, at most only a squadron of troops.

This is mainly because the Japanese defense line is too long and their manpower is limited.

This also led to the fact that although they occupied many places, they did not have many troops stationed there.

In this situation, the method they used was naturally to use puppet troops.

The Japanese supported a large number of puppet troops. Each county had tens of thousands of residents, while the Japanese had only a few hundred people. However, they were able to use the large number of puppet troops to help them rule.

This greatly saved the Japanese army's manpower.

Therefore, the main difficulty in conquering the county town lies in the city walls and the bunkers they built.

As long as the city walls and bunkers can be taken down, the rest will not be too big a problem.

However, this is not an easy task, as the county walls are very strong and have heavy firepower.

In addition, those bunkers are also a big trouble.

If you want to get rid of it, you need to use a large number of artillery.

Fortunately, their independent regiment has met the requirements.

Everyone quickly looked at the map and found that Dechang County, located to the east of their independent regiment, was indeed not far from them.

The county town is not very large, with a population of about 1.

Taking it down will not only help them solve the hidden dangers around them, but there must be a lot of supplies inside.

Wang Lin’s proposal was indeed good, and Dechang County was the most suitable target.
