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

Wang Lin didn't expect that Brigade Commander Chen would suddenly ask him this question.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke.

"If we follow the style of our special operations regiment, then we must first conduct basic training to improve our combat effectiveness and ensure that we can crush the Japanese on the battlefield."

"Only in this way can we fight the Japanese and receive actual combat training, which not only ensures our own safety, but also allows us to grow in actual combat."

"This is the fighting style I often used when I was in the independent regiment, and it has never changed until now."

When Wang Lin fights, he always lays a solid foundation first and then thinks about other things.

If you go straight into actual combat training without laying a solid foundation, the end result will inevitably lead to heavy losses.

The reason why their special operations regiment has not suffered any major losses so far is because every decision made by Wang Lin concerns the safety of the entire army.

Not only must we be able to strike a blow against the Japanese, but we must also ensure our own safety.

Only in this way can we maintain a steady and lasting effect and continuously inflict more damage to the Japanese.

Hearing Wang Lin's words, Brigade Commander Chen nodded slightly.

"Your special operations regiment is more thoughtful and cautious in its actions. These are the experiences that our Eighth Route Army currently lacks."

"The Eighth Route Army does not have a mature training program. If it were not for the mature program provided by your Special Operations Corps, our current training would only be based on poor imitation."

"But I'm quite curious, if we are going to fight next, where should we fight it?"

As they were talking, Wang Lin and Brigade Commander Chen had already arrived at the command post.

After the two people walked in, Brigade Commander Chen took out a map and pointed to a location on it.

"I think if there is a war next, it should be against Shuo City and move towards the northern Shanxi region."

"In the west, the Japanese have occupied some county towns, and the Nationalist army has also occupied some. We will not move for the time being."

Brigade Commander Chen’s idea was to develop through the north.

Wang Lin also nodded after taking a look at the map.

"There's nothing wrong with this location. The nearest city to us is Shuo City, so under normal circumstances it should be given priority."

"From this location, we can better recover the territories in northern Shanxi."

"It's just that this is a city. Both the Japanese garrison and its strategic position are relatively important. Once we take action, we will definitely face a crazy counterattack from the Japanese. At present, there are not enough artillery shells, so it is definitely not an easy task to capture it."

Brigade Commander Chen tapped the table lightly, thinking in his mind. After a moment, he spoke.

"I think this is the right choice at this point, but it's not set in stone yet."

"The Japanese will definitely take action, but it's not clear what they are thinking. Will they launch a direct attack on our northwest Shanxi region next?"

Although Wang Lin expressed his opinion, it was not his true thought.

In fact, he had already thought about it before.

After training the troops, his goal was actually to attack southern Shanxi.

There is a famous mountain there called Zhongtiao Mountain, which has a dangerous terrain and is a place that military strategists must fight for.

However, at this time, the national army had already stationed heavy troops there.

In addition, the Japanese also knew that Zhongtiao Mountain was an important strategic area, so they also occupied Linshi, Yunshi and Jinshi in that area.

The troops on both sides confronted each other, but no major battle broke out.

However, the Japanese directly deployed an entire division of troops there, and their combat effectiveness was extremely fierce, which could be said to have crushed the National Army.

The time has now reached the end of 1940.

According to Wang Lin's memory, if history had developed normally and no accidents had occurred due to his presence, a war would have broken out there in about half a year.

The battle at Zhongtiao Mountain was extremely brutal.

The fighting was extremely fierce, and the national army suffered heavy losses.

The National Army suddenly changed its generals, and the new generals did not know the specific geographical conditions. Instead, they formed a long snake formation in the shape of the word "1", hoping to stop the Japanese army in this way.

However, they did not expect that this method had no effect at all, but instead allowed the Japanese to seize the weakness.

Then the tragedy happened.

The Japanese directly invested a large number of troops and dispatched a large number of bombers and various biological and chemical weapons.

By cutting off the Kuomintang army's communication methods and other means, the Kuomintang army there lost its ability to resist and immediately fell into chaos.

Faced with the Japanese devils' crazy attacks, the National Army troops stationed there suffered heavy losses.

That battle resulted in the loss of all of Zhongtiao Mountain, and the National Army suffered heavy losses, while the Japanese suffered only a few thousand casualties. It was truly a great shame and humiliation.

Wang Lin felt very sad about this.

So we must find a way to avoid this tragedy from happening no matter what.

Although there is only one Japanese division in southern Shanxi, and some reinforcements may appear at that time.

Fortunately, the national army has also tied down the enemy, and it is not time to change generals, so the tragedy has not happened yet, and Wang Lin still has plenty of time.

He must take this opportunity to avoid tragedy and find opportunities to annihilate this division as much as possible, which requires more planning.

It would be extremely difficult to annihilate this division, and being able to defeat the enemy would be the best outcome.

As long as we can defeat this division, there will be hope of retaking Linshi, Yunshi and Jinshi occupied by the Japanese.

This is a very important opportunity.

As long as we can win that battle, we can eliminate a large number of Japanese devils and enhance the anti-Japanese war enthusiasm of the entire national army.

The main reason why the National Army's attacks have been lukewarm so far is that they have not won any victories.

They did not have the same high passion for the war of resistance as the Eighth Route Army, which also led to many Kuomintang troops being in a very negative mood and believing that this battle would be difficult to carry out.

However, Wang Lin wanted to use the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain to tell the national army that they had the ability to defeat the Japanese and rekindle their enthusiasm for the war of resistance.

Only in this way can the lifeless national army be given some life.

Otherwise, such a large army of the National Army would not have played a significant role on the entire battlefield, and Wang Lin would have been under great pressure.

The strength of the Eighth Route Army is indeed increasing, but it is impossible to defeat the Japanese devils by relying solely on the strength of the Eighth Route Army.

Otherwise it will take a very long time.
