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

Yoshio Shinozuka already had a plan in mind.

First use these counties to disperse the forces of the Eighth Route Army and the National Army, and then concentrate our own forces.

Wait until there are no problems in Taiyuan City and other areas are safe, then concentrate your forces to fight them.

By that time, let alone several county towns.

Northwestern Shanxi must belong to the Japanese army.

By then, we must make the Eighth Route Army pay the price and directly destroy their main force.

Yoshio Shinozuka clenched his fist and slammed the table.

I've been holding a lot of anger in my heart these days and haven't vented it.

After this crisis is over, he will definitely carry out a large-scale sweep of the entire northwest Shanxi. Not to mention the Eighth Route Army and the National Army there, even the civilians will not be spared.

……

At the same time, in Taiyuan area.

In a very secluded forest.

The special forces group is hiding here at the moment, carefully observing the surrounding situation.

From time to time, some scouts would come back from outside to report the situation.

The special forces regiment had been lurking here for some time. After they captured Taiyuan City, they retreated without hesitation, without stopping at all, and did not even get close to Taiyuan City.

The special forces group acted very quickly, giving the Japanese army no chance at all.

After all, their actions this time were equivalent to a severe slap in the face of the First Army.

Wang Lin knew that Shinozuka Yoshio must be furious and would definitely use his troops to sweep all the surrounding land.

So he couldn't stay there for long and would retreat after completing the mission.

As expected, the Japanese army carried out several carpet-style sweeps near Taiyuan City, and even the places where they had temporarily taken refuge were not spared.

Fortunately, the special forces group left quickly and was not discovered by the other side.

A soldier came over to report the situation.

"Captain, our small force has conducted some reconnaissance near Taiyuan City."

"The Japanese are still maintaining their vigilance. Their main force has not yet been deployed. It seems they dare not provide support."

In the past few days, Wang Lin has also used the small force under his command to gather intelligence.

The Japanese army encountered the same thing as Wang Lin.

After they attacked the enemy's Taiyuan City, the Japanese immediately panicked and dared not take any risks.

They mobilized all the surrounding troops to guard Taiyuan City.

The front-line troops did not provide support, but instead focused on the Taiyuan area.

Northwest Shanxi seemed to have been completely abandoned by the Japanese army. Not only did they not send any support, they didn't even move.

This was naturally good news for Wang Lin, and he had been in constant contact with the headquarters over the past few days.

Inform the situation in Taiyuan City.

Upon hearing this news, Wang Lin nodded with satisfaction.

Wei Dayong next to him said.

"The Japanese are really vigilant. A few days ago, I went out to scout and saw many patrols around us. If we weren't so mobile, we would have been discovered long ago."

"These little devils didn't even go to support the front-line troops. Instead, they focused on finding us."

"That's really stupid."

Wang Lin said with a chuckle.

"Shinozuka Yoshio won't tie his head to his waist. If we lose northwestern Shanxi, at least we can fight it back."

"The Taiyuan area is an important location for the Japanese army. It is also a place they have been operating for a long time. If it is lost, it will be a huge blow to the Japanese army."

"Shinozuka Yoshio would never take this risk, so he put all his focus on the Taiyuan area."

Wei Dayong naturally understood this and nodded.

"Then should we sneak over and give him a shot?"

Wang Lin shook his head.

"If he doesn't dare to take the risk, we don't have to do it either."

"Our special operations group's mission is equally important. Right now, the alert level in Taiyuan City is still too high. We cannot take this risk lightly."

Be brave when you should be brave, and be timid when you should be timid.

Wang Lin did not intend to take risks with his special forces regiment, even though they could easily launch a surprise attack on the enemy with their special forces regiment's capabilities.

He would never let the special forces regiment be placed in such a dangerous environment.

Just attacking Taiyuan City is already very dangerous and has attracted huge hatred. If they really fire another shot, I'm afraid the defenders of Taiyuan City will chase them all the way.

Not to mention that there are Japanese soldiers everywhere around them. If a real fight breaks out, they will probably have to fight a fierce battle.

Wei Dayong was a little disappointed when he heard this.

But at this moment, the communicator who was typing a telegram next to him suddenly looked up, picked up a telegram and handed it to Wang Lin.

"Captain, a message just came from headquarters."

Hearing that the message was from headquarters, Wang Lin also picked it up.

After taking a look, a smile appeared on his face and he said to Wang Xikui, Wei Dayong and others beside him.

"Our special operations regiment completed its mission very smoothly. Headquarters sent a message that our Eighth Route Army's large forces have captured several county towns."

"We have already taken over the entire northwest of Shanxi, and only the area near Shuo City remains."

"In some cases, the Japanese had already started retreating before the Eighth Route Army even arrived. They had completely abandoned their defense lines."

This is definitely a big win.

The Japanese didn't even hold out until the last moment. They didn't even refuse to take over the last few counties and chose to retreat directly.

It is obvious that Taiyuan City does not dare to send troops to support now, and can only choose to shrink the defense line and give up the last few county towns.

In other words, the Japanese First Army was forced to abandon the entire northwest Shanxi under pressure!

This was a huge victory for the entire Eighth Route Army.

Wang Xikui, Wang Gensheng and others were also overjoyed when they heard the news.

Finally won.

The significance of their battle this time is completely different from the previous attack on the 9th Brigade.

The attack with the 9th Brigade was a contest between armies.

However, attacking the county town means regaining lost territory, which is equivalent to retaking the territory occupied by the Japanese.

Maybe it is not a big step for the whole of China, but it is a big step for their Eighth Route Army!

This was a rare retreat by the Japanese army.

It was also a rare opportunity for the Eighth Route Army to regain lost territory.

"Damn it, this little devil finally ran away."

"Our Eighth Route Army has finally recaptured northwest Shanxi. That's great!"

"One day, our special forces will definitely take back all of China's territory and drive the Japanese out."

"That's right, this is just the first step, it's not over yet."

The news quickly spread throughout the special operations regiment.

The veterans of the three special operations companies were very happy to hear the news. They didn't expect that they could recapture northwest Shanxi in one go.

This victory is of great significance.

In the past, the Eighth Route Army could only defend their own territory and had to retreat when faced with the Japanese invaders' raids.

I don’t know how long it took to recover the lost ground.
