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

"Quick! Order the Independent Regiment to the east of Yangquan City! Cut off the enemy's retreat! The 386th Brigade will attack from the north and south! The Special Operations Brigade will attack from the west!"

After the Eighth Route Army destroyed the Japanese troops outside the city, they quickly arrived outside Yangquan City and surrounded it.

Wang Lin stood on a high place with a serious expression, holding a telescope tightly in his hand, observing the situation of the Japanese positions in Yangquan City ahead.

When he confirmed that all preparations were complete, he decisively issued the order to attack: "Attention, all artillerymen, target - Japanese positions in Yangquan City, open fire immediately!"

Following his command, the artillerymen quickly took action, with cannons standing tall and spitting out angry flames.

Countless shells whistled through the sky, raining down on the Japanese positions. In an instant, the entire sky was illuminated by the tracks of the shells.

The shells landed accurately on the Japanese positions, making deafening explosions, flames rising into the sky, and thick smoke billowing.

The originally solid fortifications were instantly blown to pieces, with dirt and rocks flying everywhere.

Those Japanese soldiers who did not have time to dodge were torn into pieces by the powerful explosion, and their bloody limbs and arms were scattered all over the ground.

For a moment, the Japanese positions were littered with corpses and blood flowed like a river. Miserable cries rose one after another, like the wails of demons from hell.

However, this did not stop the Eighth Route Army's offensive.

A terrified Japanese soldier scrambled to the Japanese colonel and shouted in a trembling voice, "Your Excellency the Colonel! The Eighth Route Army troops have rushed over! We can't hold on any longer! Request for support!"

The Japanese colonel's face was ashen, and veins bulged on his forehead, but he still pretended to be calm and roared, "Baga! You have to hold on! Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy! We must defend Yangquan City and never let the enemy set foot inside!"

Despite this, the Japanese colonel knew very well that facing the Eighth Route Army's overwhelming offensive, they were doomed to lose this battle.

But as a soldier, he still has to stick to the end.

At this moment, another round of artillery fire from the Eighth Route Army began. This time the bombardment was even more fierce than before, and the shells hit the gate of Yangquan City like meteors.

After a few loud noises, the heavy city gate finally couldn't withstand such a blow and collapsed.

Seeing the city gate breached, the Eighth Route Army soldiers, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed into the city like a surging torrent, shouting and shouting. With guns in hand and firm steps, they bravely killed the enemy.

Soon, the sound of gunfire in the city gradually died down. Finally, the only sounds on the battlefield were the cheers of the Eighth Route Army's victory.

"Wow... This battle was so exciting!" Li Yunlong excitedly waved his submachine gun as he followed the troops into the city. He looked at the bodies of the Japanese soldiers who had been killed and wounded on both sides of the street, and his heart was filled with a sense of exhilaration.

"Hey! Here you come! Lao Li!"

At this time, Ding Wei came over and said to Li Yunlong.

"Your independent regiment is no good, not even as good as our new regiment. It's not the fastest to enter the city!"

Listening to Ding Wei's sarcastic words, Li Yunlong was so angry that his hair stood on end. His eyebrows stood up straight like inverted swords.

"Hey! Damn it! You actually took advantage of the chaos to sneak in. What are you so proud of?" Li Yunlong roared at the top of his voice.

Ding Wei responded without showing any weakness: "You have to be really capable to get in! If your independent regiment doesn't have some skills, you won't be able to get in even if you want to! Hahahaha!"

After saying that, he threw his head back and laughed out loud, his laughter echoing in the air, as if he was showing off his victory to everyone.

"You..." Li Yunlong was choked by Ding Wei's words and was speechless for a moment. He had no place to vent his anger and could only stare at the other person with his eyes wide open, his eyes seemed to be able to spit fire. Ding Wei looked at Li Yunlong with a playful look on his face, showing no intention of backing down.

Just as the two men were deadlocked, a clear system notification chimed from deep within Wang Lin's mind. It turned out that after this fierce battle, a large amount of military merit and precious item rewards were pouring into Wang Lin like a tide.

These include not only a wide range of advanced weapons and equipment, sufficient bullets and ammunition, but also mountains of food and other important strategic materials.

As usual, Wang Lin secretly placed them all in the Japanese army's warehouse.

Then, Wang Lin walked up quickly, stretched out his hand and pushed hard, forcibly separating Li Yunlong and Ding Wei who were arguing with each other.

Then, he said seriously, "Lao Li! Lao Ding! Stop arguing, both of you! Now is not the time for bickering. There are still many important tasks waiting for you to complete!"

After saying that, Wang Lin immediately gave the follow-up arrangements in an orderly manner.

"Old Ding, Yangquan City has just been captured, and there are still some uncertainties around it. Therefore, the garrison work during this period will be handed over to your regiment. You must pay attention to safety and also take good care of the safety inside and outside the city."

"Guaranteed to complete the task"

Wang Lin patted the other person's shoulder, then turned around and looked at Li Yunlong.

"You also have a job to do. Gather the people in the city in the square and distribute some food and supplies."

"Hehehe, don't worry, Brigade Commander! Leave it to me!"

Afterwards, the Independent Regiment and the New 1st Regiment took quick action.

They were like arrows shot from a bow, and started working separately according to the tasks previously assigned to their respective teams.

Every soldier's face was filled with perseverance and determination, as if no difficulties could stop them from moving forward.

At the same time, shouts echoed throughout the city: "Fellow villagers! Come out to the square to collect supplies!"

This sound was as warm as the spring breeze and reached the ears of every household.

"Get supplies? Really?" When this news reached the people, they were stunned at first, and then they showed ecstatic expressions.

The originally quiet streets suddenly became bustling with people happily telling each other the good news.

Upon hearing that they could receive some much-needed daily necessities for free, the people in the city couldn't stop smiling.

Everyone put down their work and hurried towards the square. Along the way, laughter and joy echoed, and people were filled with anticipation for the upcoming distribution of supplies.

Before long, in less than half a day, most of the people in the city had successfully gathered in the square.

The square was packed with people, it was a spectacular sight.

At this time, military vehicles loaded with all kinds of daily necessities slowly drove into the square.

The trucks were loaded with daily necessities such as rice, flour, cooking oil, as well as some clothing, bedding and other daily necessities. Seeing the mountains of supplies before them, the people's eyes sparkled with joy.

The crowds automatically formed into long, neat and orderly queues, like winding dragons entwined in the square.

Everyone waited patiently, one by one walking to the front of the truck to collect their share of supplies. The whole scene was busy but orderly.

"Ah, it has to be the Eighth Route Army. When the Nationalist Army and the Japanese were there, they never issued such good things!"

"Yeah! Isn't it said to be a savior!"

The people discussed their living conditions during this period and compared the Eighth Route Army with other armies.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the people had collected all the supplies, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Lin began to reorganize the troops, which was basically done after every battle.

For example, some troops are criticized and educated for their unsatisfactory performance and inadequate tactical execution.

For example, Li Yunlong has been criticized a lot for this.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Lin also told everyone about his future plans.

"We have now acquired a large area of land in northern Shanxi, and the development is quite good so far."

Having said that, Wang Lin paused and continued.

"So I decided to conduct infiltration reconnaissance in North China. It's time to expand our scope of activities. We can't just limit ourselves to this area. It's easy to be surrounded by the enemy and have our lifeline cut off."

After saying that, Wang Lin pointed to the location of North China on the map.

"I have decided to dispatch the Independent Regiment, the 771st, and the 772nd Regiments to clear out the county towns, villages, and enemy strongholds near Yangquan, and to be absolutely prepared for any eventuality."

"The New 1st Regiment will primarily guard the city walls, while the Special Operations Regiment and other units will be stationed within the city, responsible for maintaining order within the city, recruiting troops, and training new recruits."

After Wang Lin finished explaining the mission, Li Yunlong couldn't help but smile when he heard that he could go out to fight.

He also rolled his eyes at Ding Wei.

This made Ding Wei very angry.

"Alright, alright! Comrades, don't overthink it!"

Wang Lin saw Li Yunlong and Ding Wei fighting again and shook his head helplessly.

"Each of our troops must strictly carry out the assigned tasks. Don't harbor any other thoughts. Complete your own tasks well and don't worry about others, especially Captain Li Yunlong!"

When Li Yunlong heard Wang Lin call his name, he immediately shrank his head and smiled embarrassedly.

……

"Here, and here... it's not working..."

After a while, Wang Lin was in the command center, looking at the battle map in front of him, thinking about what to do next.

During this period, Wang Lin was not in a hurry to send troops to North China because there were too many things to consider.

After all, North China is mostly plains, and most of it is open land without any hills or mountains, which is very conducive to the movement of mechanized troops.

It just so happened that the Eighth Route Army was in dire need of vehicles and other transportation items.

If you want to attack a place, even if you haven't reached it by walking yet, the Japanese soldiers may have already arrived there in a car before you.

This scene is not only embarrassing, but also deadly.

Moreover, the Japanese army strength in North China is currently very large, and the Japanese troops in each city are basically enough to make them suffer.

Moreover, they also have tanks and armored vehicles...which is very unfavorable for the Eighth Route Army's battle.

It is extremely difficult to defeat them.

Therefore, when entering the North China battlefield, we cannot rush and must develop well.
