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

No wonder the Ninth Brigade was destroyed last time. I thought it was because they lacked combat capabilities. Now it seems...

"Humph……"

The Japanese brigade commander sneered and shook his head.

He knew he had no chance.

"Communicator, call the communicator over."

Not long after, the only remaining communicator rushed over.

The scars all over his body also showed what kind of war he had experienced.

"Tell Commander Yoshio Shinozuka that our army is currently surrounded by the Eighth Route Army and there is no possibility of breaking out. Do not send reinforcements to rescue us..."

Having said that, the Japanese brigade commander paused and continued.

"Tell him not to send any more troops to attack the Eighth Route Army in Lin City. This force is more powerful than we imagined. The most important thing is to be well prepared for defense!"

After saying that, the Japanese brigade commander pulled out the small sword from his waist and held it in his hand to examine it carefully.

Seeing the other party's action, several officers beside him immediately knelt on the ground and understood what the other party meant.

"This knife... came in handy."

The Japanese brigade commander unbuttoned his shirt, knelt on the ground and looked straight ahead.

"Puch!"

The small sword stabbed into his abdomen fiercely, and blood instantly dyed his upper body red.

As time passed, his life ended at this moment.

……

"Bakayarō! This..."

After receiving a telegram from the front line and learning that the brigade he sent out had been besieged, Yoshio Shinozuka was so angry that he tore the documents in his hand into pieces.

"A brigade! That's a brigade of soldiers!"

Yoshio Shinozuka was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and even standing became a problem.

At this moment, regret and pain invaded his mind.

He regretted letting the Eighth Route Army develop and not strangling them in the cradle!

"Commander, do you want to send some soldiers to find out the situation?" The chief of staff came up and asked.

Yoshio Shinozuka stared at the telegram document in his hand without saying a word, thinking about something in his mind.

After pausing for more than ten seconds, he threw the telegram in his hand onto the table.

"He said there's no need to send any more troops to that place..."

After saying that, Yoshio Shinozuka sighed deeply and walked slowly to the map.

He didn't understand why the situation had become so tense.

Especially the strength of the Eighth Route Army, they actually wiped out an entire brigade of their own troops! It is truly rare!

"Commander, I don't think the Eighth Route Army's forces should be so strong... maybe... it's just that the brigade sent out was careless."

"Carelessness? Could it be that our two brigades were wiped out by those Eighth Route Army soldiers because of carelessness? Could this be the root cause?"

Hearing the chief of staff's words, Shinozuka Yoshio angrily slammed his fists on the table several times.

The rage burned fiercely at this moment, completely breaking through the last line of defense of his inner calm.

"What the hell are you doing? You've suffered defeat after defeat! You've completely disgraced the Imperial Japanese Army!"

"Is this how you serve the Emperor?! Are the only people the Army School has churned out a bunch of pigs?"

"If you can't even beat a Tubalu, what else can you do?"

Yoshio Shinozuka cursed at his men in the command room. After three curses, the entire command room fell silent.

Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent, too embarrassed to look their commander in the face.

"Private Marseille! Commander… this is all my fault!"

Seeing this, the chief of staff immediately apologized, trying to calm Yoshio Shinozuka's anger.

This trick is indeed very effective. For leaders, if they can show their anger and then give their employees a way out, the effect will be beyond reproach.

"call……"

Yoshio Shinozuka took a deep breath.

After venting the anger in my heart, I felt much better and my thoughts gradually calmed down.

Now he has to do something.

Judging from the current situation, if he doesn't do something to change it, he will have a hard time explaining to his superiors.

This cannot go on any longer.

"Correspondent!"

When Yoshio Shinozuka shouted, the communications soldier nearby immediately rushed over.

"commander!"

"Immediately send a telegram to the 108th Division in southern Shanxi, instructing them to voluntarily withdraw troops from some county towns and transfer troops from Jinshi and Changshi to Yuncheng for defense."

"At the same time, draw another brigade from the troops stationed in Taiyuan and the surrounding areas to provide support. Concentrate our forces to build an impenetrable line of defense in Yuncheng! Completely defeat the Eighth Route Army under the iron hoof of the empire!"

Yoshio Shinozuka's plan was also a helpless move.

After all, the Eighth Route Army is becoming increasingly powerful, and the brigade commanders who were sent out also told him not to send any more troops to attack them.

It turned out that this move was correct.

The best way to deal with them now is to gather all our superior forces to fight a defensive battle.

However, the troops he had now were too few, and two brigades had been directly wiped out. It was really difficult for him to fight a defensive battle with the remaining troops.

"Send another telegram to the North China Expeditionary Force Headquarters. We are currently short of troops in Shanxi Province and request immediate reinforcement."

After giving the order, Yoshio Shinozuka finally calmed down. Looking at the map in front of him, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

How long has it been? Not only have I lost so much territory, but I've also lost so many people...

It's really a loss of face.

Not long after, news came from the North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters.

"Commander! North China said... because the railway transportation lines were severely damaged by the Eighth Route Army, the speed of military reinforcement will not be so fast. We should not be anxious."

The signalman reported the contents of the telegram to Yoshio Shinozuka and looked at him with a sad face.

"Don't be anxious... hum..."

There are not many defenders left in Taiyuan now, and their situation is generally very dangerous.

And even told them not to worry?!

What on earth are these guys thinking?

Yoshio Shinozuka sighed deeply, but quickly cheered up.

I can’t care about so many things now. I must fight to the death, otherwise I will lose even more miserably!

From the time the Eighth Route Army destroyed the railway line until now, more than 25,000 of Shinozuka Yoshio's First Army's more than 60,000 soldiers have been wiped out!

It’s almost thirty thousand!

This number is not a small amount!

After all, the entire North China Front Army had a total of 250,000 troops, and one-eighth of the troops were lost in his hands!

Yoshio Shinozuka cannot bear the responsibility for this crime.

If he fails to eliminate this enemy, severely damage the Eighth Route Army and the National Army and make military achievements, then his position as the commander of the First Army will definitely be dismissed and he will be held responsible.

By then, you might even be brought to a military court, and what awaits you is either eternal imprisonment or a cold bullet.
