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

"Have the Eighth Route Army been doing anything lately?"

Inside the Japanese military headquarters.

After experiencing these several tragic defeats, the Japanese commander's originally strong heart has gradually become numb.

During this long and agonizing time, he was always concentrating on monitoring every move of Wang Lin's Special Operations Brigade, but the results were not satisfactory.

Although we can occasionally find clues about this mysterious force, most of the time it is as difficult to find its whereabouts as looking for a needle in a haystack.

However, even so, the Japanese commander still did not dare to act rashly and launch a head-on confrontation with the enemy.

The reason is simple: the troops he has now are only a few in number and are simply unable to support large-scale combat operations.

If you act impulsively, you will probably end up with a tragic outcome of total annihilation.

"As of now, the situation remains unclear. The reconnaissance teams and air forces we have sent out have yet to return any valuable information."

The chief of staff reported the latest situation to the Japanese commander with a serious expression.

After listening silently, the Japanese commander slowly lowered his head without saying a word. Only a heavy sigh came out of his mouth.

Seeing the Japanese commander looking so listless and without fighting spirit, the chief of staff couldn't help but come forward and make a cautious suggestion in a low voice.

"General, in my opinion, why don't we put aside our pride for now and ask for support from our superiors?

Let the powerful Kwantung Army quickly enter the country and wipe out these extremely hateful Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop! "

Faced with the chief of staff's advice, the Japanese commander responded unexpectedly calmly: "No."

In fact, the Chief of Staff already had an idea of what this answer would be.

After all, with the arrogant and conceited character of the Japanese commander, at this moment, he must not easily give up his face no matter what.

Let the Kwantung Army know that they have 200,000 soldiers under their command, but they can be fooled by a group of Eighth Route Army soldiers!

If this gets out, where will I save my face?

"But we don't have many troops to mobilize..."

Having said that, the Japanese commander looked up at the other party and spoke slowly.

"Who said we have no more? We still have 100,000 troops at our disposal. As long as we can concentrate our forces to fight the enemy, it won't be a problem at all."

"After all, those Eighth Route Army soldiers only have two brigades. What can they use to fight me?"

The Japanese commander sneered, picked up the brush on the table and began to write calligraphy, moving it stroke by stroke on the white paper.

The chief of staff looked at the other party in confusion, and it was certain that the Japanese commander had completely started a fight with the Eighth Route Army.

This kind of behavior is simply the number one taboo in the military!

"As long as we can successfully wipe out this unit in one fell swoop, the rest of the things will be much easier to handle." The Japanese commander responded slowly with a calm expression.

Hearing this, the chief of staff secretly groaned inwardly, because he knew that even if he racked his brains and talked a lot, he would never be able to change the mind of this stubborn boss.

And if you really make him angry, it might cause even bigger trouble.

Just when the two were in a stalemate, suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps like a storm came from outside the door.

"General! We have a major report! We've discovered the latest movements of the Eighth Route Army!"

As the words fell, a communications soldier rushed in hurriedly, quickly saluted the commander, and began to report on his work.

The Japanese commander, who was leisurely waving the brush in his hand, suddenly stopped what he was doing after hearing the news.

He raised his head instantly, staring at the signalman in front of him with his eyes wide open, his face full of irrepressible anticipation, as if a hungry wolf saw the fat meat about to fall into its mouth.

"Oh? What did you say? Did we actually find any trace of the Eighth Route Army?"

"It's absolutely true, Commander! According to the intelligence we have, they are advancing towards Shizhuang City at an extremely fast speed!

In my opinion, their target of attack this time is most likely Shizhuang City!"

After receiving a positive answer, the Japanese commander could no longer contain his excitement and joy. He stood up suddenly and ran towards the large military map hanging on the wall.

Because he was in such a hurry, he accidentally knocked over the ink bottle on the desk when passing by, and the black ink liquid spilled all over the floor.

However, at this moment, the Japanese commander had no time to care about these trivial matters. He just stared at the map intently, thinking quickly in his mind how to deploy troops to deal with the current situation.

"Shizhuang City, you guys actually want to attack Shizhuang City..."

The Japanese commander bent down and looked carefully at the battle map in front of him, and his heart gradually became excited.

At present, there is only one division and one brigade stationed in Shizhuang City. It is extremely difficult to resist the attack of the Eighth Route Army. It is almost impossible to accomplish.

The only way at present is to send all the troops in his hands to fight a decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army in Shizhuang City.

Destroy them completely.

Otherwise, if they occupy the two cities in the future, the threat will only grow greater.

"what……"

The Japanese commander sighed deeply, as if he was making a final struggle with his heart.

"Now that the situation has become like this, this is the only thing we can do."

"Issue orders to all brigades and divisions to immediately march to Shizhuang City for a decisive battle with the main force of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Yes!"

After giving the order, the Japanese commander looked out the window with a heavy gaze.

Shizhuang City is the place they chose to fight for their honor, and the final battle will definitely start there!

……

"Brigade Commander, the Japanese troops in Xing City and Bao City haven't made any moves yet. Do you think the Japanese are planning something?"

Ding Wei looked at the battle map and said to Wang Lin.

"I've been thinking for a while now that these little devils should have noticed our actions, but there's been no movement at all... It's strange."

Wang Lin was also very confused about this.

After all, if the Japanese army launched a full-scale attack on the capital of Hebei Province, which is also a big city very close to Beijing, it would be impossible for them not to take action.

"These little devils have ulterior motives! I don't think they have good intentions. They must be secretly planning something earth-shattering!"

Just when everyone was silent, Li Yunlong strode over. His loud voice broke the silence and he interrupted directly.

Wang Lin stood there, gently stroking his chin with one hand, his eyes slightly narrowed, as if he was thinking carefully about something important in the depths of his mind.

At this moment, the Special Operations Brigade and the 386th Brigade were like two sharp swords, pointing directly at Shizhuang City, and the distance between the two had been shortened to less than kilometers, which was almost within reach.

However, what is strange is that the Japanese army, which should have taken action, is now like a hibernating snake, so quiet that it makes people feel creepy.

Even though Wang Lin sent out advanced drones for reconnaissance, the images sent back showed that the Japanese army did not seem to have any obvious signs of action at the moment.

This situation is extremely strange and completely contrary to common sense, which makes everyone feel confused.

"Forget it, since we can't figure out what tricks the Japs are playing, we can't just sit there and wait.

It’s more important to start formulating a siege plan first!”

Wang Lin sighed helplessly, then walked towards the huge military map.

He stood still, his eyes fixed on the area on the map representing Shizhuang City, and began to explain in detail to everyone the specific plan for attacking the city.

"The 386th Brigade will focus on the north side of the city, and the 771st Regiment will be stationed on the north side to prevent Japanese reinforcements from reaching Shizhuang City. The 385th and 387th Brigades, along with the Independent Regiment, will focus on the west side of the city. The 388th Brigade will be responsible for the weakest part of the south, and the remaining troops will launch the attack on the east side."

After listening to Wang Lin's order, Li Yunlong tilted his head and asked.

After giving the order, Wang Lin saluted everyone and then quickly left.

……

"Division Commander! The Eighth Route Army is about to attack!"

Inside Shizhuang City, the Japanese division commander used a telescope to watch the Eighth Route Army soldiers carrying out earthwork outside the city, and his heart tightened.

"I didn't expect them to come so quickly."

After slowly putting down the heavy telescope in his hand, the Japanese division commander slowly turned his head and cast his cold gaze at the chief of staff standing beside him.

He opened his lips slightly and asked in a low and serious voice, "Any new news from the headquarters?"

Hearing the division commander's question, the chief of staff's face, which was already full of worry, instantly became even gloomier.

He lowered his head slightly and replied with a trembling voice, "So far, the headquarters has only ordered us to resolutely resist the enemy's attack. There is no mention of whether reinforcements will be sent to support us..."

After hearing this, the division commander couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Then he raised his head and looked straight at the vast and deep sky, his eyes revealing an indescribable helplessness and grief.

"Humph! These extremely hateful guys, how could they understand the tremendous pressure we are facing now!

He just sits in a comfortable office, talking and discussing maps and documents, and nothing more than theoretical speculation!"

The division commander became more and more angry as he spoke, and the veins on his forehead bulged out with emotion.

Seeing the division commander so angry, the chief of staff beside him thought to himself that something was wrong.

He knew very well that if he couldn't find a way to divert the division commander's attention at this moment, the situation would probably become increasingly out of control.

So he racked his brains to think of something that could change the subject.

"Division Commander, I don't think the Eighth Route Army is in a hurry to attack the city. Should we send out the Yamazaki Special Forces?"

Upon hearing the chief of staff's words, the Japanese division commander was obviously stunned, and his eyes instantly became sharp.

"If... the headquarters doesn't provide accurate information, then this plan can be implemented."

Having said that, the Japanese division commander also agreed to this matter.

After all, the headquarters is unreliable now, and we can only rely on the troops trained by ourselves to increase our chances of winning.

"Let the Yamazaki Special Forces take action immediately tonight! There must be no mistakes!"
