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

"Captain!"

Zhang Dabiao looked at Li Yunlong beside him with a sharp gaze. Their eyes met, as if an invisible force was colliding in the air.

After this brief moment of eye contact, Li Yunlong responded immediately without hesitation.

His loud and resolute voice echoed throughout the battlefield: "Da Biao, the time is now! The time has come!"

Following Li Yunlong's order, Zhang Dabiao suddenly raised the sword in his hand and shouted, "Brothers! Charge with me!"

In an instant, the independent regiment that had been lying in ambush for a long time suddenly jumped up from all directions like a tiger descending from the mountain, and pounced on the remaining Japanese troops with an overwhelming force.

The soldiers were all in high spirits and bravely took the lead.

They raised their submachine guns and light machine guns, their fingers tightly gripping the triggers, and bullets poured out towards the Japanese positions like raindrops.

For a moment, flames shot up into the sky, smoke filled the air, and rain of bullets intertwined into a web of death, ruthlessly enveloping the Japanese army.

The independent regiment's offensive was like a storm, unstoppable.

The Japanese army's painstakingly constructed defense line collapsed in the face of this powerful impact and was vulnerable.

The soldiers shouted and roared, and rushed into the Japanese positions without fear.

On the battlefield, the shouts, gunshots and sounds of fighting resounded through the sky, one after another, deafening.

Every note was filled with anger and hatred, playing a passionate and heroic battle melody.

The blood dyed the earth red and the smoke covered the sky, but the soldiers of the independent regiment did not retreat at all. They marched forward bravely and wrote their own glorious chapter with their lives and courage.

Soon, the Japanese positions were littered with the bodies of Japanese soldiers. The blood had formed a small pit, and even the bodies of Japanese soldiers were piled up in it.

The fierce battle finally came to an end. On the battlefield filled with smoke, the brave soldiers of the independent regiment acted quickly and methodically cleaned up the land that had just experienced a life-and-death struggle.

Wang Lin stood in front of the command tent, his eyes fixed on the real-time image of the drone displayed on the screen in his hand.

He witnessed with his own eyes the entire process of the Japanese army regiment collapsing and being reduced to ashes under his own fierce attack, and a strong urge surged in his heart - he also longed to join a new battle as soon as possible and find a Japanese unit to practice with.

However, the reality did not allow him to do so, because the large army he led was now advancing towards Ji City at full speed. It was not far from its destination and was about to engage in a more thrilling battle with the Japanese army who were on high alert in the city.

At the same time, the atmosphere inside the Japanese headquarters was extremely solemn.

Tanaka Kazuo sat quietly in a chair, listening expressionlessly to his subordinates reporting the tragic news that the dispatched regiment had been completely wiped out.

The subordinate who came to report had an unwilling look on his face, staring straight at Tanaka Kazuo, and spoke anxiously.

"General, the troops we sent out have been... completely annihilated by the Eighth Route Army! You must quickly find a way to send more troops to avenge them!"

However, surprisingly, in the face of such a heavy blow, Tanaka Kazuo remained surprisingly calm.

He frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on the battle map spread out in front of him, as if he was thinking hard about how to deal with the situation in the depths of his mind.

After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Well, I understand."

This simple and cold response immediately shocked the other Japanese officers present.

They all stared at Tanaka Kazuo with wide eyes in disbelief, completely unable to understand why this commander, who was always known for his decisiveness and ruthlessness, could remain so calm after suffering such heavy losses.

For a moment, the entire command center fell into silence, with only the heavy breathing of the crowd echoing in the air.

"General...shouldn't we send troops for revenge?"

Tanaka Kazuo sighed, turned his head and said to them.

"After going through so much, can't you see how powerful this group of Eighth Route Army is?"

"If we continue to send troops to suppress them, then Ji City will be easily captured by them! Our troops will also be quickly wiped out..."

After hearing what Tanaka Kazuo said, the Japanese officers no longer urged for revenge, and gradually calmed down and thought about how to break the situation.

"General, our forces are now too dispersed. Should we gather all the troops from the surrounding cities and defend Ji City?"

"Hold on to the bitter end? Engage in a war of attrition with them? We will definitely be the ones who suffer the consequences!"

"What you're saying is so foolish! We shouldn't fight now when we don't have enough troops!"

……

The Japanese officers began to argue at this time, each of them trying to get Tanaka Kazuo's approval for their ideas.

Just looking at these officers, Tanaka Kazuo sighed deeply.

"Okay, the 69th Division in Jiaodong is probably arriving soon. When we wait for the Eighth Route Army to attack the city, the three of us cities will cooperate with the 69th Division and besiege the Eighth Route Army together. This is the best way."

It didn't take long for Tanaka Kazuo's carefully planned plan to win the approval and support of everyone present.

Immediately afterwards, everyone worked tirelessly to prepare for the city's defensive fortifications, attempting to completely nip the Eighth Route Army's upcoming fierce offensive in the bud.

However, what these self-righteous guys never expected was that Wang Lin, who was far away on the other side, had already used advanced drone reconnaissance cameras to see every move of the Japanese army divisions in the Jiaodong area heading towards Ji City.

The little tricks they had racked their brains to come up with had long been exposed in front of Wang Lin.

"Report to the brigade commander! Did you call me?"

At this moment, Ding Wei rushed into the command room where Wang Lin was.

He immediately saw Wang Lin sitting leisurely in a chair, sipping tea calmly, his face expressionless, as if everything was under control.

"Well, Lao Ding, come here quickly. I have something important to discuss with you."

Seeing Ding Wei coming, Wang Lin slowly stood up, walked to the huge military map hanging on the wall, and called Ding Wei to come forward and take a look.

"I'm planning to give up attacking Ji City."

Wang Lin went straight to the point and stated the decision he had just made.

Hearing this, Ding Wei couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He asked with a puzzled look on his face, "This... why is this? Didn't we already make full combat deployments before? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"Now I have received news that a Japanese division is heading towards Ji City from the Jiaodong area. Their purpose is to launch a surprise attack on us while we are attacking Ji City."

"This is also part of Tanaka Kazuo's plan. I can see through his idea at first glance."

After hearing what Wang Lin said, Ding Wei also understood why he was not planning to attack Ji City.

"Then... how are you going to fight?"

Wang Lin just smiled slightly, then walked to the map and pointed to the location east of Ji City and said.

"This requires your New 1st Regiment to stop or annihilate this Japanese reinforcement division."

Wang Lin patted Ding Wei on the shoulder and continued.

"I plan to have your New 1st Regiment block the Japanese division reinforcements, and then the rest of our troops will attack any of the three cities, Deshi, Liaoshi, and Taishi."

"In this way, with your troops holding off the Japanese reinforcements, the Japanese troops in Ji City will not move much. So cut off the fingers around Ji City and gradually complete the encirclement of Ji City."

After Wang Lin finished talking about his plan, Ding Wei immediately understood how to do it.

"Don't worry, Commander! Our New 1st Regiment is committed to completing the mission!"

After the two of them saluted each other, Ding Wei turned and left.

……

"General, we have discovered the movements of the main force of the Eighth Route Army."

The Japanese soldiers immediately conveyed the message sent by the front-line reconnaissance troops to Tanaka Kazuo.

"Are they marching in that direction?"

"As you expected, General, they are coming quickly to Chaoji City!"

Hearing this, Tanaka Kazuo smiled knowingly.

Sure enough, he had guessed the intentions of the Eighth Route Army very well. All he had to do next was follow his original plan, wait for the reinforcements from Jiaodong, and then encircle them together!

"Order all troops to hold their own lines of defense. Don't let this Eighth Route Army unit take advantage of any loopholes! When reinforcements arrive, we will wipe them out together!"

"Yes!"

After giving the order, Tanaka Kazuo frowned slightly, his eyes quickly turned to the adjutant beside him, and then asked, "Where is the reinforcement force now? How is its progress?"

The adjutant quickly stood at attention and saluted, shouting back, "General! The 69th Division is currently en route, only fifty kilometers away from Ji City! They haven't encountered any obstacles or resistance along the way!"

Hearing this, Tanaka Kazuo's tense face relaxed instantly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, revealing a satisfied smile.

"Yoshi!" He murmured in a low voice, his heart already filled with joy.

He had originally been worried that there might be some unexpected changes in this operation, but now it seemed that everything was going unexpectedly smoothly, and all the links were progressing steadily as he had carefully planned.

Tanaka Kazuo walked to the city wall with steady and powerful steps, reached out and picked up the telescope placed beside him, raised it to his eyes, and looked into the distance.

In the distance, I saw the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army Special Operations Brigade busy with earthwork, digging trenches and building fortifications.

Looking at this scene, he became more and more excited, as if victory was just around the corner.

"Hmph, these foolish fellows, just keep digging! Little do they know that what they are digging is actually their own grave!"

Tanaka Kazuo put down the binoculars in his hand, turned his head to look in the direction of the special operations brigade, and a sneer of contempt appeared on his face.

At the same time, on the other side, Wang Lin was also holding a telescope, concentrating on observing the city wall of Ji City and the deployment of the Japanese positions on it.

However, compared to the enemies on the city wall, he was more concerned about our troops who were rushing non-stop to the route that the Japanese 69th Division had to pass.

He knew very well that as long as this special force could successfully cut off the enemy reinforcements, the balance of victory or defeat in this battle would definitely tilt towards our side.

Thinking of this, a hint of determination and expectation flashed in Wang Lin's eyes.

What we need to do next is to wait patiently for the exciting drama that is about to unfold!

"General! Urgent!"

At this time, a Japanese signalman hurried towards Tanaka Kazuo.

"The 69th Division, which came to support us... encountered resistance from the Eighth Route Army! We can't reach Ji City as planned!"
