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

Tanaka Kazuo stood on the beach, looking at the turbulent sea, and shouted loudly: "Behind us is the sea, and on the other side of the sea is our hometown!"

His voice echoed in the sea breeze, with a hint of madness.

"Everyone, this time we must decisively fight those Eighth Route Army soldiers! This is a fight to the death! For the Empire! We must win!"

He waved the saber in his hand, and the soldiers lined up neatly behind him. Although they were tired, there was still a hint of fanaticism in their eyes.

On the smoke-filled anti-Japanese battlefield, Li Yunlong rode heroically on a tall horse, leading the famous independent regiment, and had arrived at the outskirts of Ri City without anyone noticing.

The sunlight shines on the soldiers' resolute faces, reflecting their determination to win.

The independent regiment's heavy firepower was all on full alert, with mortars lined up neatly, their black muzzles pointing directly at the Japanese market.

It seemed to be silently announcing the coming storm.

The soldiers surrounded the Japanese market in front of them like a steel Great Wall, making it impossible for anyone to get in or out.

At the same time, in the heavily guarded Japanese military headquarters in Ri City, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

The Japanese regiment commander stood at the window, looking at the rows of majestic Eighth Route Army soldiers and the terrifying heavy firepower outside the city. The expression on his face was like the haze before a storm, full of sorrow and helplessness.

"Colonel! The Eighth Route Army outside the city is about to launch an attack!"

A Japanese soldier ran in in a panic, his voice trembling, breaking the suffocating silence in the command center.

The Japanese regiment commander stared intently at the independent regiment outside the city, which was already prepared for battle and had high morale. His Adam's apple couldn't help but roll up and down. He swallowed hard and asked in a dry voice, "What are our chances of winning?"

The subordinate beside him raised his eyes tremblingly, secretly glanced at the scene outside the city, and said in a voice as low as a mosquito's hum: "Our chances of winning... are almost zero."

In fact, even without saying this, the Japanese regiment commander knew the situation clearly in his heart, but he was really unwilling to accept it, but he had no way to resist the thunder-like attack of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.

He paced back and forth in the command center, his brow furrowed. After a painful struggle and careful consideration, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Surrender."

In this way, without losing a single soldier or firing a single bullet, the independent regiment successfully captured Ri City without bloodshed.

"Hehehe, these little devils are quite sensible!

Da Biao, hurry up and report this situation to the brigade commander! We will move to Wei City immediately!"

Li Yunlong grinned, revealing a row of big white teeth, a smug smile on his face, and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao responded and quickly turned around to convey the order.

After everything was ready, Li Yunlong waved his hand and led the independent regiment to continue marching rapidly towards Wei City.

At the brigade headquarters, Brigade Commander Wang Lin was anxiously waiting for news from the front.

"Brigade Commander! The independent regiment took down Riichi without losing a single soldier!"

A signalman ran in excitedly and reported loudly.

Hearing this, Wang Lin's eyes widened instantly, his mouth wide open with excitement, and he couldn't help but praise: "Good fellow! This Li Yunlong is really something!

They actually took down a city without even a single soldier!"

Wang Lin paused for a moment, then straightened his expression and continued to issue orders: "Hurry up and have him send those captured Japanese soldiers to the rear. Come and join us in the attack on Wei City!"

"Okay!" The signalman took the order and left.

After receiving the order, Li Yunlong did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately put the Japanese prisoners on the train and transported them to the rear by rail.

Afterwards, they rushed non-stop towards the main force of the special operations brigade, preparing to gather and attack Wei City.

On the other side, Ding Wei and Kong Jie's two troops were also not idle. They had arrived in Zibo City and were ready to launch a strong attack on Zibo City immediately.

At this time, there was only one Japanese regiment stationed in Zibo City. Facing the overwhelming force of two regiments, the Japanese army was clearly unable to withstand it. However, the defenders in the city seemed to have been brainwashed and vowed to fight to the death rather than surrender.

The news that Li Yunlong captured Ri City without any soldiers reached the ears of Ding Wei and Kong Jie like a gust of wind.

This situation did give them a little shock.

"This kid actually scared the Japanese troops in the city into surrendering! Damn it..."

Ding Wei sneered. He was surprised and a little dissatisfied at Li Yunlong's feat.

"We have to hurry up. We can't let Li Yunlong get there before us."

Ding Wei is well aware that time is running out and he cannot fall behind in this regard.

After that, Ding Wei sent several soldiers to persuade the Japanese to surrender. However, the result was that the Japanese soldiers in the city were tough and would not surrender no matter what.

"Damn it, you don't want to accept my toast, right? Then I'll grant your wish!"

This completely irritated Ding Wei. He was already one step behind Li Yunlong, and now he encountered such a group of stubborn Japanese soldiers. The anger in his heart was ignited instantly.

"Order the troops to prepare for an attack!"

Ding Wei gave an order, and his voice like a loud bell echoed across the battlefield.

"Yes!" The soldiers responded in unison, their morale high.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..." The deafening sound of artillery fire came from the Eighth Route Army's position like thunder.

Countless artillery shells, trailing long flames, whistled down from the sky, carrying the rage of the Eighth Route Army soldiers as they shot rapidly towards the Japanese troops on the city wall.

The Japanese troops in the city were completely unable to withstand this level of indiscriminate bombing and could only endure the intense bombing in the city. They were dizzy and their positions were in a mess.

Under the continuous attack of fierce artillery fire, a big hole was finally blown in the city wall.

The Japanese positions were gradually wiped out in this baptism of steel and fire.

Seizing this excellent opportunity, Ding Wei decisively ordered his troops to launch an attack immediately.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army rushed into the city of Zibo like a tiger descending from the mountain. They were unstoppable and broke through all the Japanese positions with a crushing force.

After a fierce street fighting, the Japanese troops in Zibo City were quickly wiped out and Zibo City was successfully occupied.

Immediately after the reorganization was completed, the troops moved quickly to Wei City without stopping.

Afterwards, all the troops of the special operations brigade gathered in Wei City. A big battle was about to break out, and everyone was waiting for the final attack order.

Brigade Commander Wang Lin stood on the temporary command platform with a sharp gaze and began to issue combat orders in an orderly manner, carefully allocating combat tasks to each unit.

"Old Li, your independent regiment and the 1st and 2nd Special Operations Regiments will attack the east of the city, the 1st New Regiment will attack the north, the 3rd Special Operations Regiment will attack the west, and the 2nd New Regiment will attack the south!"

"This time, we'll launch a general offensive from all four directions and take down Wei City in one fell swoop!"

Wang Lin didn't plan to make any other plans this time, there was only one word, "fight"!

What he wanted was to seize Wei City in one go with lightning speed, without caring about anything else.

In fact, when it comes down to it, the Japanese army was at the end of its rope and had no power to fight back.

Tanaka Kazuo could hardly protect himself, let alone send any reinforcements.

Now it is a race against time. We must completely encircle the remaining troops of Tanaka Kazuo in the Jiaodong area and not give them any chance to breathe or escape!

At this time, there was only one brigade left in Wei City to defend, trying to resist the attack of the entire special operations brigade.

"Brigade Commander! The Eighth Route Army has surrounded Wei City on all sides!" A signalman hurried in and reported in a panic.

"What did General Tanaka say?"

The Japanese brigade commander pretended to be calm, but his voice was trembling.

"General Tanaka said... Let us fight to the death, serve our country and His Majesty the Emperor..." The signalman's voice became smaller and smaller.

After hearing what the signalman said, the Japanese brigade commander in the city raised his head, looked at the sky, and sighed deeply.

He knew that there was no chance of survival in this battle, and reinforcements would not arrive. Now there was only one option before him, which was to die in battle.

But how you die is up to you to choose.

"Order the troops to prepare for battle, shrink the defense circle into the city, abandon the city walls and prepare for street fighting!" The Japanese brigade commander gritted his teeth and issued the final order.

"Yes!"

Faced with the powerful firepower of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese brigade commander was ready to abandon the outer defensive positions and move into the city to engage in street fighting with the Eighth Route Army, in an attempt to delay the Eighth Route Army's offensive speed.

Unfortunately, they underestimated the combat skills and weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army soldiers.

Soon, the special operations brigade's attack began.

First, powerful artillery bombarded the Japanese positions on the outer city wall. Flames shot up into the sky and smoke filled the air. After successfully destroying one firepower point after another, the soldiers launched an attack into the city as quickly as a tide.

"Why aren't there any Japanese soldiers defending the city walls?"

Seeing that there were almost no Japanese troops stationed on the city wall, Li Yunlong and others felt a little confused.

Soon, the Eighth Route Army soldiers successfully entered the city and wiped out the Japanese troops defending the city gate.

As soon as we entered the city, a Japanese fire point suddenly appeared on the bell tower in the distance, and dense bullets rained down on us.

"Oh my goodness, they're waiting for us in the city! Damn these little devils!"

When Ding Wei saw this scene, he couldn't help but curse.

"Let the tanks in quickly! Destroy these Japanese devils' firepower points for me!" Ding Wei shouted anxiously.

Not long after, the Eighth Route Army tanks in the rear entered the city majestically with the sound of huge engines.

As the turret slowly turned, the muzzle pointed steadily at the bell tower where the Japanese position was located in the distance.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Suddenly the tank opened fire, and several shells flew towards the bell tower with a whistling sound, immediately exploding into pieces on it, with bricks and stones flying everywhere and dust filling the air.

The Japanese firepower points were successfully eliminated, clearing the obstacles for subsequent attacks.
