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

"The national army has so many resources at its disposal, and it has also received aid from abroad."

"We have a strong army but not many, and we have plenty of ammunition, but we have always been on the defensive, adopting a passive fighting style, and never taking the initiative to attack the Japanese."

"What's even more outrageous is that despite having a strong military force and ammunition, they still lost the first battle. It's really hard to understand."

Wang Lin's voice was quite angry. He had long been very dissatisfied with the attitude of the National Army.

The battle before the Eighth Route Army was so fierce, but the National Army did not show any performance.

If we send troops at this time, it will definitely have miraculous effects.

If the National Army had come to help when the Eighth Route Army and the Ninth Brigade were fighting, the battle would have been a crushing result, and the Ninth Brigade would not have been given any chance to struggle.

Even if they don't come, they can just sneak attack the enemy while other Japanese troops are on their way to support them.

You can also gain considerable benefits.

However, according to the intelligence they had obtained previously, although the Kuomintang army observed the situation, they did not take any action.

This made Wang Lin very disappointed.

Although the National Army and the Eighth Route Army had many opportunities to cooperate, the National Army was always very wary of them.

As a result, many opportunities for both sides to expand their victory were given away in vain.

When the others in the command post heard this, they fell silent.

They are also very helpless.

Of course, he was aware of the attitude of the National Army, and he didn't want to see the Eighth Route Army coming too easily.

You have to know that the National Army didn't care about the invasion of the Japanese Army before. Instead, they wanted to wipe out the Eighth Route Army first, saying that in order to resist foreign aggression, we must first resist the internal aggression.

However, there was no sign of his influence on the Japanese army. Instead, the Japanese army continued to gain a large amount of territory during this period, and even directly invaded half of China along the way.

The policy adopted by the bald man is a defensive policy of passive combat.

We were on the defensive all the way, but never launched any proactive attack.

Even if you fight the other side fairly, most of the results are either retreat or loss.

The boss nodded in agreement.

"Now, let's talk about our battle plan. Now that the 9th Brigade has been annihilated, our army can act more aggressively."

"Next, the participating troops can take a brief rest and return to their original units. After resting, they can continue fighting."

"The current stage is extremely critical for the development of our Eighth Route Army. Each regiment should take advantage of the weak combat effectiveness of the Japanese and immediately launch a counterattack. We can even unite to launch an attack on the county town or Japanese stronghold occupied by the Japanese."

"Even if we can't take the city after a long attack, we can still disrupt it and engage in guerrilla warfare to gain certain benefits."

And at this moment, the chief of staff next to him said.

"This is indeed an opportunity for us to develop, but once the Japanese react, I'm afraid the consequences will be very troublesome."

"We've annihilated the Ninth Brigade of the Japanese First Army. Their commander will undoubtedly be even more wary and will not easily deploy. I think the next time we face a Japanese division, we might face a unit."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire command post fell silent.

This statement is indeed correct.

If a brigade of the Japanese was annihilated, they would definitely not use a brigade to deal with them next time, and would most likely use their own divisions.

However, according to the actual situation of the Japanese, it is not so easy to mobilize so many troops.

Today, the Japanese First Army only has three divisions and the 4th Mixed Brigade, which are mainly used to garrison some important cities such as Taiyuan and Yangquan.

In addition, a large number of Japanese troops were deployed along the Zhengtai Railway and various airports in Shanxi. All of this was to defend against the national army.

The reason why the Japanese had never shown a large army, and this time they only used a brigade as the main force and feinted an attack on the county town, was because many of the Japanese troops could not move at all.

Their front line was too long and they occupied too many areas.

From regional central cities to small strongholds, troops are needed to garrison them.

This directly led to the fact that the Japanese army had very few mobile and active troops at that time.

In most cases, a unit is dispersed and operates in various places.

Wang Lin also spoke according to this background.

"The Japanese have stretched their front lines so far, and their troops are now scattered across various important areas, leaving them with only a limited number of troops at their disposal."

"We can take advantage of this opportunity to directly recapture the counties in northwestern Shanxi, thereby expanding our base in the shortest possible time."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect Wang Lin's goal to be so big.

The direct plan is to conquer the county towns in northwestern Shanxi, and the workload will be enormous.

And the next battle will be even more intense.

However, they soon realized that Wang Lin understood that if they continued to waste time, the battle would be further delayed.

Now is the time when the Japanese are relatively weak. If they do not take action at this time, the Japanese will retaliate soon. If they want to take action at that time, they will inevitably suffer a huge blow.

This is an important moment in their development.

If you miss it, it will not be easy to find another opportunity.

However, the chief of staff still raised the issue.

"Wouldn't it be too big a step to attack so hastily?"

Wang Lin nodded, then shook his head.

“No action is without risk, but it is precisely because of the risk that there will be high returns.”

"But please rest assured, for the sake of safety and to minimize losses, our special operations group will take the initiative to attack the Taiyuan area during this battle."

"When the time comes, we will try our best to tie down the Japanese forces, so that they dare not attack rashly or send out too many reinforcements."

"If they dare to send reinforcements..."

Wang Lin's mouth curled up slightly and he smiled.

"Then the place where they were originally stationed naturally couldn't be left intact until they returned."

When everyone heard this, they began to think about it and found that it was indeed feasible.

This statement does sound radical at first glance, but if you analyze it carefully, you will find that the Japanese do not have that many troops now.

Their 9th Brigade was the largest mobile army on hand, but it was wiped out so easily.

Other Japanese troops are still stationed in various areas. If they are mobilized, the combat effectiveness of the area will be reduced.

Other Eighth Route Army and National Army troops are likely to attack.
