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

“I actually failed…”

Inside the North China Front Army Headquarters, the Japanese commander looked at the telegram sent by the 33rd Division in his hand and felt annoyed.

Unexpectedly, we were defeated so miserably in our first head-on confrontation with this Eighth Route Army team.

This result made the arrogant Japanese commander lose face, and his shame and anger were beyond words.

At this moment, a Japanese communicator hurriedly ran forward and handed a report from the front-line reconnaissance unit to the Japanese commander. After saluting respectfully, he quickly turned and left.

The Japanese commander couldn't wait to take the telegram and read it carefully word by word.

When he saw the description of the size of the Eighth Route Army, he couldn't help but frown, his face becoming increasingly gloomy: "According to visual estimation, the Eighth Route Army has dispatched at least a brigade..."

Looking at this report, the Japanese commander felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his heart, making it extremely heavy.

He just couldn't understand how a well-equipped and well-trained division like his could be defeated by a mere brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

This huge contrast is really hard to accept. The Japanese commander became more and more angry and could no longer sit still. He stood up suddenly and shouted loudly.

"Signalman! Immediately convey the order to the four divisions stationed near Taihang Mountain. Instruct them to take immediate action and encircle the Eighth Route Army on the mountain. Make sure they are wiped out in one fell swoop, leaving no one alive!"

On the other side of the battlefield, the Japanese commander's deployment inadvertently exposed the Japanese military deployment in the Taihang Mountains.

This important information was quickly discovered by our personnel and passed on to Wang Lin.

After hearing the news, Wang Lin was secretly delighted, thinking that he had finally caught the enemy. As long as he planned carefully, he would be able to deal a heavy blow to the enemy.

Through the drone, Wang Lin finally understood the movements of the Japanese division.

At this time, four Japanese divisions were heading towards their position at full speed.

It looks like he is determined to fight with me!

So Wang Lin immediately convened a meeting to discuss how to proceed with the next plan.

"Since our ambush has exposed our whereabouts, the Japanese army will definitely send a large number of troops to take revenge or provide support.

Therefore, we can no longer defend the Taihang Mountains. We must immediately enter North China and form a complementary force with the 386th Brigade to launch an attack on the Japanese army."

After hearing what Wang Lin said about this plan, Li Yunlong and the others were all excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

"Wow, we're finally heading into North China! We've finally been waiting!"

"Hehehe! Let these little devils see how we fought in Shanxi Province. Let them feel it, too!"

"Don't get too excited too soon. The devils in North China are not that easy to defeat. The tough battle still depends on our New 1st Regiment!"

……

Not long after, Wang Lin quickly conveyed the detailed plan of the troops' advance into North China to the Eighth Route Army headquarters in the form of a telegram.

"Deputy Commander-in-Chief! There is an urgent telegram from Wang Lin!" The signalman trotted to the deputy commander-in-chief and respectfully handed him the telegram that Wang Lin had just sent.

After receiving the telegram, the deputy commander-in-chief began to read every line of it carefully without any delay.

When he saw the beginning, he couldn't help but frown slightly and muttered to himself, "This Wang Lin, how can he move so quickly? He's planning to lead his troops into North China in such a short time? I wonder which place he'll capture first this time?"

With such doubts, the deputy commander continued to read down line by line.

Finally, in the second half of the telegram, the deputy commander-in-chief found the answer - it turned out that Wang Lin’s target this time was Heng City in Hebei Province!

At the same time, Wang Lin also clearly explained in the telegram the reasons for choosing to attack Heng City.

According to Wang Lin's analysis, Heng City's geographical location has extremely high strategic value.

It firmly controls the main transportation routes between the three cities of Shizhuang, Beiping and Jinzhou, and can be regarded as the key hub of the three places.

Once this place is successfully captured, with the help of the developed railway network, our troops will be able to reach any of the above-mentioned areas at lightning speed.

In this way, the Japanese army will be caught in a dilemma of being unable to grasp the direction of our main attack and will not be able to accurately predict our army's next action plan.

In fact, when the Eighth Route Army Headquarters received Wang Lin's telegram, Wang Lin himself had already confidently conceived a complete combat plan to attack Heng City.

His greatest reliance is the unmanned fighter jet technology he has mastered.

With the support of this advanced equipment, Wang Lin seemed to have opened a pair of all-seeing "eyes in the sky" on the battlefield, able to see the movements and deployment changes of the Japanese troops anytime and anywhere.

With this huge advantage, he firmly believed that the attack on Heng City would be a success.

However, the Japanese army did not know the movements of Wang Lin and his men. It was like groping in the dark, and they could only search for the traces of the Xianhao and his men as they walked.

At this time, Wang Lin had led his troops to break through the Taihang Mountain defense line and officially entered the North China region.

On the other side, the four Japanese divisions did not find any trace of Wang Lin and were completely stunned.

"General! Still can't find it!"

Upon hearing this shocking news, the Japanese commander suddenly fell down in his chair as if struck by lightning. His already hideous face was now distorted by the burning anger, and his rage was beyond words.

He opened his eyes wide and stared straight ahead, as if he wanted to see through the air the huge team that had mysteriously disappeared.

This team was so large, yet it could disappear without a trace in front of everyone, as if it had evaporated from the face of the earth. This was really unbelievable for the Japanese commander.

Did they quietly withdraw to Shanxi Province, or did they sneak into North China without anyone noticing? No one can give a definite answer now.

"These damn guys..." The Japanese commander muttered to himself, and was a little dazed for a moment.

But after just a moment, he quickly recovered from his astonishment. After all, as the commander of an army, he knew that this was not the time to panic.

After careful consideration, the Japanese commander quickly made a decision: "Right now, these Eighth Route Army soldiers are hiding in the dark, while our army is exposed in the light. A rash attack will only put us in a passive situation.

Therefore, the only strategy now is to hold back, wait patiently for the best opportunity to strike!

Thinking of this, the Japanese commander gave orders without hesitation, immediately mobilizing four divisions to withdraw quickly to Shijiazhuang and strengthen the city's defense deployment to guard against the Eighth Route Army troops that might appear at any time.

At the same time, Wang Lin and others on the other side were also busy. They used advanced drone technology to keep a close eye on the Japanese army's every move.

Not long after, Wang Lin successfully captured the latest movements of the Japanese army.

Not only that, they also sent unmanned fighter jets to conduct a comprehensive reconnaissance of Heng City.

The result was shocking - it turned out that there was only one division and one mixed brigade stationed in the city, and the total force was roughly estimated to be around 30,000.

However, there were fewer troops stationed in Handan and Xing in southern Hebei, with only one division and one brigade in total.

Soon, a plan unfolded in Wang Lin's mind.

Prepare to make a feint to the east and attack in the west.

So Wang Lin immediately convened a meeting and issued his plan.

"Brigade Commander! You called everyone here this time. Are you planning another big operation?"

Li Yunlong leaned his head over and looked at Wang Lin and asked, his impatient eyes looking around.

Wang Lin just smiled and didn't answer her.

"Hey! You're keeping me in suspense again!"

Seeing that most people had arrived, Wang Lin told them his plan.

"Our main mission this time is to attack Heng City, but Heng City is in a special location. The three towns in North China are basically watching it, so it's difficult to attack, so..."

Wang Lin paused, glanced around and continued.

"So I decided to have part of our troops feint an attack on Xing City in southern Hebei, allowing the Japanese reinforcements from Shijiazhuang to arrive to support us. Then we will attack Heng City, and finally let the 386th Brigade block the Japanese reinforcements, so as to achieve multiple points of attack!"

After listening to Wang Lin's detailed and thorough battle plan, everyone in the conference room couldn't help but praise its ingenuity.

Li Yunlong, known for his fiery and straightforward personality, was particularly excited. He slammed the table and asked loudly, "Then...how do you allocate the feint attack and the main attack?"

Wang Lin smiled slightly, having already expected Li Yunlong to ask such a question.

He explained slowly, "Don't worry, Old Li! Listen to me, your independent regiment is the main force attacking Heng City this time!"

When Li Yunlong heard this, his eyes lit up and he almost jumped up with excitement.

Then, Wang Lin continued, "As for the New 1st Regiment and the 3rd and 4th Special Operations Regiments, they will be responsible for the feint attack on Xing City.

Remember, we must fight fiercely and make those devils mistakenly think that our main forces are concentrated in Xing City!"

Ding Wei, the commander of the New 1st Regiment, and the commanders of the 3rd and 4th Special Operations Regiments all stood up and responded in unison, "Rest assured, Commander! We will ensure that the mission is completed with flying colors!"

Seeing their confident expressions, Wang Lin nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at the old brigade commander who was sitting beside them with a smile on his face.

"Old Brigade Commander, whether we can successfully stop the enemy reinforcements coming from Shijiazhuang depends entirely on the 386th Brigade under your leadership!"

Facing Wang Lin's gaze full of trust and expectation, the old brigade commander remained calm and composed, smiling faintly.

"Hey, look at what you're saying, kid! When has our 386th Brigade ever failed to perform well?

Just relax and leave this matter to us!"

As the combat plans were fully issued, all troops took quick action.

The soldiers boarded the military trucks that had been prepared in an orderly manner. With bursts of roars, the vehicles rushed towards their respective designated targets like arrows from a bow.

For a moment, dust was flying and wheels were rolling, and the whole scene was spectacular.
