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

"Ah...the army in Lu Province has also been wiped out..."

A Japanese major sat on a chair with a look of astonishment on his face. The teacup in his hand was shaking unconsciously, and the tea spilled onto the table, but he was completely unaware of it, and his voice was full of disbelief.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that guy Tanaka Kazuo to actually commit suicide by disembowelment!"

Another Japanese military officer took over the conversation with a sigh on his face. Thinking of Tanaka Kazuo's end, he couldn't help but shudder, as if he saw his own future.

"The strength of this Eighth Route Army should not be underestimated. Their next target might be us."

Another officer frowned and spoke worriedly, his eyes revealing deep fear, as if he had already seen the iron hoofs of the Eighth Route Army stepping into Henan Province.

……

In Zheng City, Henan Province, the commanders in the Japanese command room sat around the conference table in a solemn atmosphere as they discussed the liberation of Shandong Province by the Eighth Route Army.

Their faces showed either shock or worry, and they were whispering to each other, their voices rising one after another.

Especially the overwhelming offensive of the Eighth Route Army, which made everyone present unexpected that they would occupy the entire territory so quickly.

Before, they had always heard how powerful the Eighth Route Army was, but in their imagination, the Eighth Route Army was just a group of poorly equipped local soldiers who could only fight guerrilla warfare. They did not expect that they could actually take over Shandong Province, which was really unbelievable for them.

"Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta..."

At this moment, there was a steady and powerful sound of footsteps outside the door, and every step seemed to step on everyone's heart.

A tall figure appeared in front of these officers. When everyone looked closely, it was Taro Inoue.

"General Inoue!"

When they heard the name of their superior, the people who were originally talking in a lively manner immediately became serious as if they were cast under a spell. They stood up straight and bowed to Inoue Taro in a uniform manner.

There was no expression on Inoue Taro's face. He looked at everyone with a cold and serious expression.

His gaze was like a sharp knife, cutting across everyone's face. Everyone in the audience looked at each other, trembling in their hearts towards the leader in front of them, as if their thoughts were seen through by him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, which Eighth Route Army unit are you discussing?"

Inoue Taro opened and closed his mouth as he spoke, the flesh on his thin cheeks moving up and down with his words. His voice was low and cold, like an echo from hell.

"Sorry, General! We shouldn't be afraid of those Eighth Route Army soldiers!"

One of the subordinates immediately apologized to Inoue Taro in fear and trepidation, his face full of guilt and his body trembling slightly as he expressed his mistake, fearing that his words would anger the general.

The other party just waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say more, then came to the map, gently tapped the location of Lu Province on the map with his finger, and said.

"Just now I received news that the Eighth Route Army troops are rapidly heading towards Henan Province, and their next target is obviously us."

At this point, Inoue Taro paused, his eyes scanning the people in front of him like a hawk, and continued: "Are you all scared?"

Inoue Taro looked at the people in front of him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, looking at them with a smile, but there was no warmth in that smile, instead it made people feel a chill down their spines.

When the subordinates heard their superior say this, they immediately perked up and puffed out their chests as if to hide their inner fear.

"No! We're not scared!"

Everyone immediately puffed out their chests and shouted loudly to Inoue Taro, their voices making the windows of the command room buzz. They tried their best to show their majesty and try to show their bravery in front of the general.

"Humph...it's normal to be afraid, it's human nature, but I only have one request, and that is to wipe out these Eighth Route Army troops in Henan Province!"

Inoue Taro raised his hands and waved them continuously, as if he was driving something away, encouraging the people in the audience to shout loudly, with the veins on his neck bulging, trying to infect them with his emotions and fill them with fighting spirit.

"We must never be like Tanaka Kazuo's troops, a unit with extremely weak combat effectiveness! Our Bushido spirit will be passed down! We will sacrifice our lives for His Majesty the Emperor!"

Inoue Taro's voice became more and more excited, and his eyes flashed with madness, as if he had already seen the scene of himself defeating the Eighth Route Army.

At this moment, the Japanese officers below were instantly moved by Taro Inoue's passionate and inspiring speech, and crazy flames ignited in their eyes.

"Long live! Victory! Long live! Victory!"

The crowd shouted, raised their hands to the sky and cheered, with fanatical expressions on their faces, as if they had forgotten the impending danger and were immersed in an illusory victory.

In an instant, high fighting spirit spread throughout the entire command center. Everyone was enveloped in this crazy atmosphere and lost their reason.

Everyone is looking forward to fighting with Wang Lin’s special operations brigade to prove their own strength. It seems that only through this battle can their value be reflected.

Since he didn't know where Wang Lin's special operations brigade's first target was, Inoue Taro came to the battle map and observed it carefully.

His fingers moved slowly on the map, his eyes focused and anxious, trying to find the Eighth Route Army's attack route on the map.

"General, I think they will attack Shangshi first, using it as a springboard to quickly move to Kaishi and Zhengshi using the railway. Therefore, focusing on defending Shangshi can help to stop them."

At this time, a subordinate came to Inoue Taro, his voice trembling a little, obviously because of nervousness and excitement.

He told the other party his opinion, his eyes fixed on Inoue Taro's face, waiting for his approval.

After hearing this suggestion, Inoue Taro frowned and looked at the map carefully, thinking about the plan in his mind.

His brows were twisted into a knot, and his eyes revealed hesitation and entanglement.

"That's true. Shangshi runs through the east-west railway line and can directly reach Zhengshi. It's a strategic location."

Inoue Taro rubbed his chin in thought, then raised his eyes and continued, "But Pu City in the north... also has a direct railway line to Zheng City!"

At this time, Inoue Taro pointed to the location on the map, looked at his subordinates beside him and said, with a hint of doubt and uncertainty in his voice.

Hearing this, everyone fell silent, not knowing what to do next.

There was confusion and bewilderment on their faces, as if they were trapped in a huge mystery and could not find a way out.

"We only have four divisions and three brigades now. How can we resist this special Eighth Route Army unit... Sigh..."

A Japanese officer sighed, his voice full of worry and helplessness.

In fact, they were still unsure. After all, it was their first fight and no one knew the other party's strength.

You have to be careful with the first move; if you make a wrong move, you lose the whole game.

"It's better not to put all our main forces in the commercial market. We'd better be cautious. I don't think they will be so rampant in the first battle."

In the end, Taro Inoue chose to disperse his troops so that they would not be able to hang themselves on one tree.

There was a hint of caution and conservatism in his tone, and he was obviously intimidated by the strength of the Eighth Route Army.

Then the troops immediately headed to the destination according to Taro Inoue's order, ready to welcome Wang Lin's special operations brigade.

The soldiers' faces were filled with tension and anxiety; they had no idea how brutal the upcoming battle would be.

……

"These guys, I didn't expect them to split up the army so far. That's quite interesting."

At this time, Wang Lin was conducting reconnaissance over Yu City using a drone. His eyes were fixed on the images sent back by the drone, and a sneer appeared on his face.

Wang Lin came to survey the deployment of the Japanese troops, but he did not expect that the deployment of the Japanese troops would be completely dismantled. This was somewhat unexpected for him.

This is great news for the special operations brigade. The enemy's dispersion means they have more opportunities to defeat them one by one.

"Brigade Commander, where should we attack first?"

Li Yunlong came to Wang Lin, his eyes flashing with excitement, and he couldn't wait to join the battle.

He asked about the next city to be attacked, his voice full of anticipation and desire.

"Hmph...these little Japs are being too clever for their own good. Let's just go against them!"

Wang Lin sneered, then pointed to the location on the map, his eyes firm and confident, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

"Shangshi, the entire brigade will attack here. Everyone, focus on the main attack! No feints!"

His voice was firm and powerful, full of the authority of a commander.

Hearing this, Li Yunlong was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, and the smile on his face was like a blooming flower.

"Alright! My dear Brigade Commander Wang! You must have been drinking fake wine! Good boy! All-out attack! It's been a long time since we've had such a good time!"

His voice was loud, with a hint of teasing and excitement, as if he had already seen the scene of victory.

"Look at what you are capable of. Just carry out your mission well!"

Ding Wei on the side curled his lips and rolled his eyes at Li Yunlong with a hint of disdain on his face.

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, as if he was a little disapproving of Li Yunlong's excitement.

"Hey! Damn you! You're talking about me again!"

When Li Yunlong heard this, he immediately became furious and wanted to rush up to argue.

"Oh, that's enough! Hurry up and get going!"

Wang Lin pushed the two of them away and said impatiently. There was a hint of anxiety on his face, and he obviously didn't want to waste time.

"Hurry up and fight a quick victory. We must capture the commercial city immediately, and then quickly advance in the north, south, and west!"

There was a sense of urgency in his voice, as if he was racing against time.

After the order was made clear, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei were unwilling to pay any more attention to each other.

Then everyone immediately led the troops to move towards the commercial city. The soldiers had determined expressions on their faces and their steps were neat and powerful. They knew that a fierce battle was about to begin.

……

"I don't know where these Eighth Route Army soldiers will appear from. It's quite scary waiting like this..."

A Japanese soldier stood on the city wall, his body trembling slightly, his eyes constantly searching in the darkness, his voice full of fear and anxiety.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. The will of the imperial soldiers can't be shaken as easily as you do!"

Another soldier immediately scolded. Although his voice was firm, there was a hint of panic in his eyes.

"Yes!"

The soldier immediately stood at attention and answered, but his voice was trembling, obviously frightened by the other party's words.

In Shangshi City, it was originally planned to leave two divisions and two brigades of troops stationed here, but now there is only one division and one brigade left.

The soldiers were uneasy because of the reduction in manpower.

As night falls, darkness covers the entire city like a huge curtain.

The Japanese soldiers standing guard on the city wall also felt a little panic about Wang Lin's special operations brigade, and their eyes flashed with fear in the darkness.

No one knew which city they would attack first, and this fear of the unknown made them extremely nervous.

"Brigade Commander, the troops are ready."

At this time, the special operations brigade had arrived outside the commercial city and began to prepare for battle under the cover of night.

The troops only need to wait for Wang Lin's order to launch the attack. The soldiers' faces are filled with excitement and anticipation. They are eager to fight and eager to win.
