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

In fact, when Wang Lin saw the telegram about the new appointment, he felt neither happy nor sad.

He had already anticipated his promotion.

After all, his recent performance has been very outstanding and he has made great contributions. Not only did he capture the 9th Brigade, he also dared to go to Taiyuan to carry out a special mission.

No other unit has such capability, but their special operations regiment has such capability because of Wang Lin's existence.

So promotion was inevitable, and Wang Lin had guessed it before he came back.

Seeing the brigade commander so sad, he didn't know how to comfort him. He could only say that this day was bound to happen.

However, as long as Wang Lin is in the 386th Brigade, he will make as many contributions to the Brigade as possible.

……

At the same time, in the Eighth Route Army's front-line headquarters.

The boss was on the phone, and the person he was talking to was the Eighth Route Army's rear headquarters, the real commander-in-chief.

The boss said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief. I've already issued the order. The 386th Brigade must have anticipated this."

"This kid must be released. I'm just explaining my intentions now. I think he's already prepared mentally."

The commander-in-chief nodded slightly when he heard the news.

Talents like Wang Lin are admired not only by their respective divisions, but even the commanders at the headquarters admire him in their hearts.

Especially the middle-aged man with a mole on his chin, he also praised it highly.

Therefore, the commander-in-chief promoted him directly to be the combat staff officer of their front-line headquarters without any doubt.

He also serves as their combat advisor.

But this is only the first step. In the future, Wang Lin will definitely not just be a group leader.

In fact, with Wang Lin's current achievements, he is already qualified to be a brigade commander, but promoting him so early must have caught Wang Lin off guard.

They are only promoting each other to combat staff, which also leaves each other some time.

So the commander-in-chief said.

"Wang Lin is an important talent for our Eighth Route Army. If he is used flexibly, he will surely bring great vitality to our Eighth Route Army."

"As for the commander of the 386th Brigade, we can only let him down."

The boss immediately laughed.

"With this kind of talent, the 386th Brigade must be feeling really bad right now."

"But Old Chen is definitely a very considerate person. It's impossible for him to just hold on to it."

The commander-in-chief suddenly burst into laughter.

After hanging up the phone, the boss was in a very happy mood.

Wang Lin has now been promoted to combat staff officer, and he will be able to call the other party directly to ask for his opinion in the future.

In this way, we will be more confident in facing the Japanese attack.

The boss also knew in his heart that the Japanese would not be able to hold back for long and they would definitely launch a fierce attack on the northwest region of Shanxi again.

This battle won't be far away.

All they have to do is be as prepared as possible.

Welcome the other party's arrival.

……

Japanese North China Front Army Headquarters.

Tada Shun looked at the telegram in his hand, his face suddenly became ferocious, and he threw it directly to the ground.

"Baka! Baka! That's just stupid!"

"Shinozuka Yoshio is such an idiot. It's bad enough that the 9th Brigade was wiped out, but he couldn't even hold on to northwest Shanxi."

"More than 10 counties were lost to the Eighth Route Army. It's no different from giving them away. What on earth is this guy doing?"

When Tada Shun saw this telegram, he was almost furious.

I just received news that the northwestern part of Shanxi has completely fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

The First Army did not provide any support in this battle, nor did it hold its ground, and no support troops even arrived.

This is equivalent to giving all these territories to the other party.

This was simply an expulsion for their troops. You have to know that the Japanese army had always held on to any place they took and had never given up any territory.

Even if we were defeated by the other side, we still made a lot of efforts in the process.

But I have never been so humiliated before, giving up my territory to the other party like this.

What is the difference between this and the national army’s defensive battle?

The Japanese army had never been so humiliated before, watching helplessly as the other side took away their territory.

These are all the territories of their island country, and they were conquered with great difficulty.

Tada Shun was very angry and kept roaring and cursing.

"And they actually allowed an unknown small force to launch a surprise attack on Taiyuan City, and they couldn't even catch them."

"These damn bastards, given so many weapons and equipment, yet they are so disappointing."

He was going mad.

Especially when they saw that Taiyuan City was under attack by the enemy, and it was only a small force.

It would have been fine if they had been attacked, but they hadn't even captured this unit.

You have to know that the other party penetrated deep into the center of the Shanxi Command, which was equivalent to entering the lair of the Japanese First Army and gave them a hard slap in the face.

The battles have not been going well recently.

But I didn't expect it to be so humiliating.

Chief of Staff Miyamoto said next to him.

"This incident is not without reason. In order to protect Taiyuan from any problems, General Shinozuka had no choice but to abandon it and move to northwest Shanxi."

"The Japanese army currently has insufficient manpower. The front-line troops are stretched too far, and many locations require garrisons."

"If support is forced, it will only lead to instability elsewhere."

However, Tada Shun's expression became even uglier as he spoke.

"We Japanese soldiers have never taken the Eighth Route Army seriously. They are just a bunch of scattered soldiers with broken weapons."

"For years, they have been just circling around us like mosquitoes, posing no real threat."

"But now this mosquito has been able to cause harm to us and even make us retreat."

He gritted his teeth and gave orders to Miyamoto.

"Send a telegram to Shinozuka Yoshio immediately and tell him to retake the lost territory at all costs."

"This is a disgrace to the First Army and to our entire Japanese Army. It must be washed away."

"We must make the Eighth Route Army pay a price and take action."

Miyamoto nodded and quickly retreated.

This battle is inevitable.

The Japanese army had never suffered such a great humiliation, not even when fighting against the National Army.

They were beaten into this state by a small Eighth Route Army unit.

It would have been bad enough if a brigade was wiped out, but the other party also took advantage of us.

A war is inevitable!
