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

All this is impossible to happen. How could the Eighth Route Army attack and capture their entire city so easily?

The intelligence must be wrong, and the division commander Xiaozizi firmly believed it.

"If you said that this firepower came from the Nationalist army, I would have believed it, but I never thought it was the Eighth Route Army."

The Japanese brigade commander's face was also full of silence.

I was also thinking secretly in my heart.

After all, such a swift attack could not be done by the Eighth Route Army no matter how hard you try. The Eighth Route Army's equipment could not support them at all. How could they attack Lin City so easily?

Rather than believing that the Eighth Route Army would attack their city, it would be better to believe that the National Army would take advantage of the situation and catch them in troubled waters.

I asked him to go back and infer that it was done by the National Army, but you told me it was done by the Eighth Route Army. To be honest, I really can't believe it.

"Is the information confirmed to be true? Was it done by the Eighth Route Army?"

The brigade commander pulled the division commander over and asked the intelligence officer again with a serious expression.

"I swear on the honor of the Imperial Japanese Army that this intelligence is true. This is the work of the Eighth Route Army."

The two ordinary officers did not answer, and there was only endless silence at the scene. The ordinary brigade commander felt as if the sky had fallen.

"Pass this message to your superiors. I'm afraid it's still not too late to request support."

……

"Baga! You told me, and you told me it was the Eighth Route Army."

"And Linshi was defeated by the Eighth Route Army almost at the same time, even though we had nearly 10,000 people?"

"You are just a bunch of trash. You should all commit seppuku to appease the Emperor's wrath."

The Japanese army's first commander, Yoshio Shinozuka, was furious when he saw the telegram sent from the front line.

Why?

The Eighth Route Army was able to occupy a city so easily, and he didn't even have time to react before watching the city fall completely.

This was a very bad omen for the Japanese army. At best, they only lost a city. However, thousands of soldiers from the Empire of Japan died in that city.

Those Eighth Route Army soldiers must die to atone for their crimes, only then can the souls of the dead of the Great Japanese Empire rest in peace.

"Commander, Commander, we have only been caught by the Eighth Route Army by chance. I believe that the Eighth Route Army will not be able to get up again in the future."

The chief of staff saw that the commander of the First Army was not in a good mood, so he hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

Rather than being angry about a small failure now, it would be a very shameful thing for the entire Great Japanese Empire.

I believe that with the strength of the Great Japanese Empire, it would be an easy task to take back Lin City.

"Commander, we were simply misled by the Eighth Route Army, thinking their main force was in northwestern Shanxi. We didn't expect them to reach southwestern Shanxi in such a short time and launch a surprise attack on us. I believe this is the fundamental reason for our failure."

The Chief of Staff began to think about the reasons and offered his opinions to the Commander-in-Chief.

"Commander, now that we have the exact location of the Eighth Route Army, I believe that in the future, our Japanese troops will be able to turn the tide and directly penetrate the heart of the Eighth Route Army. It will only take a snap of your fingers to wipe out the entire Eighth Route Army."

"So now I don't think there's any need to be discouraged by this little thing. As long as we don't give the Eighth Route Army a chance to ambush us, the troops of the Great Japanese Empire are more than enough to crush an entire street of them. There's no need to be afraid at all."

"All we have to do is obey your command, Commander, and we will surely lead our Great Japanese Empire back."

Hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't help but start to ponder. He took a deep breath and then changed his mind.

"You're right. Instead of getting angry now, we should discuss the next countermeasures."

Yoshio Shinozuka looked at the current battle situation again. Lincheng was now occupied by the Eighth Route Army. It was likely that the remaining Japanese troops inside would not be able to expel the Eighth Route Army in the first place, so support was imminent.

But on the other hand, this action of the Eighth Route Army also gave Yoshio Shinozuka an opportunity.

"The main force of the Eighth Route Army is currently in southwest Shanxi, which means that the Eighth Route Army's influence in northwest Shanxi is actually quite weak."

"If we can seize this opportunity and launch an all-out attack on northwest Shanxi, we can create a huge gap and deal a fatal blow to the Eighth Route Army."

When Yoshio Shinozuka thought of this, he couldn't help but sneer.

"Commander, this is a good plan. While the main force of the Eighth Route Army is now in southwestern Shanxi, we should seize the opportunity to attack northwestern Shanxi, inflict a fatal blow to the rear of the Eighth Route Army, and take back northwestern Shanxi." The deputy commander hurriedly agreed.

It is really a very good plan. Yoshio Shinozuka also thinks that the feasibility of this plan is very high, but it is a pity.

We cannot act rashly now.

"No, for the sake of safety, we should not focus on northern Shanxi right now."

After thinking it over again and again, Yoshio Shinozuka chose to suppress his idea.

"Why? Commander, isn't now the best time to take action?"

Yoshio Shinozuka shook his hand and frowned.

"The Eighth Route Army is far more cunning than you think. Can you guarantee that they won't trip us up when we attack northwestern Shanxi?"

"this…"

The latter was silent for a while but was reluctant to speak. What Shinozuka Yoshio said was indeed true. The Eighth Route Army's battles had caused the Japanese Empire to lose countless outstanding generals.

"Do you remember the Eighth Route Army that wiped out the Ninth Brigade last time?" asked Yoshio Shinozuka.

"Commander, you mean this raid on southwest Shanxi, maybe..."

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded and did not deny it.

"Yes, that's exactly what you thought. I suspect the raiding force this time is most likely the elite Eighth Route Army unit that wiped out the Ninth Brigade last time."

"If it's that unit, it really shouldn't be underestimated."

The latter frowned, as if he had a great fear of this unit. After all, their Japanese army had suffered repeated losses at the hands of that mysterious team.

Even now, it is still unclear where this mysterious force came from. Could it be the same as their Kamikaze Special Forces?

"Okay, I know you have a lot of things you want to do right now, but given the current situation."

"I think we should observe the situation in southern Shanxi first. After all, they may need us to send reinforcements there."

Taking stillness as an opportunity, Yoshio Shinozuka decided to implement the current strategy.
