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

"Click——" A crisp sound was particularly abrupt in the silent corridor. The door of the conference room was slowly pushed open, and the heavy door hinges made a slight creaking sound.

Li Yunlong took the lead, his signature loud voice emanating from him before he even entered the room: "Hurry up, don't dawdle!"

Following behind him were Kong Jie, Ding Wei and others, who walked into the conference room one after another with brisk steps, showing the competence and courage of veterans.

"You came so quickly. Please sit down." Wang Lin stood beside the huge solid wood conference table with a somewhat relieved smile on his face.

He was wearing a military uniform that was washed a little pale but neat and tidy. When he saw everyone coming, he immediately stepped forward and skillfully unfolded the map on the table with his hands.

This map is the key to their battle plan. Various symbols and arrows are densely marked on it with red and blue pencils, recording the troop deployment and battle line direction of both sides.

"Now, let's get straight to the point." Wang Lin's eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle, and his voice suddenly rose a few degrees, echoing in the conference room.

"The Japanese troops in Henan Province are already at the end of their strength and are stretched to the limit.

I order you to capture all the remaining cities in Henan Province within three days. Don't let any of them go! Do you understand?"

His eyes swept over everyone, and the firmness and unquestionableness in his eyes made every general present feel the heavy responsibility.

"After retaking Henan Province, our next target will be Wuchang!"

As Wang Lin spoke, he extended his index finger and pointed heavily at Wuchang City on the map.

The city circled in red now stood out on the map, as if calling them to conquer it.

Everyone's eyes followed the direction of Wang Lin's finger, and for a moment, the conference room was silent.

Kong Jie frowned slightly and murmured softly, "Wuchang... You ran so far..."

There was obvious surprise in his tone. He had originally thought that they would follow the conventional strategy and advance towards Wuchang step by step and steadily. However, he did not expect that this battle plan would be so bold and radical, directly skipping the long journey in the middle. The span was so large that it was completely beyond his expectations.

Wang Lin keenly caught the confused expressions that flashed across the faces of everyone present, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing a confident smile.

He had anticipated this reaction, so he cleared his throat and began to explain patiently: "Comrades, I know everyone is a little confused about this battle plan.

In fact, Wuchang is a strategic location that we must capture, and it has been fought over by military strategists since ancient times.

Why did I choose to attack Wuchang directly? Because this battle is urgent and cannot be delayed any longer! "

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand again and gestured along their battle line and the surrounding situation on the map.

"Everyone, you see, our battle line is getting closer and closer to the area controlled by the Nationalist army.

It can be said that our development has threatened their dominance.

Once we stop and give them a chance to breathe, they will definitely try every means to cause trouble for us in the future.

Therefore, we must seize the time and drive the Japanese out as quickly as possible, decisively fight and win, and not give them any opportunity to exploit our weakness!"

Wang Lin's voice was sonorous and powerful, and every word seemed to strike at everyone's heart.

He expressed without reservation the concerns that had long been in his heart and his well-thought-out combat intentions.

After hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.

Li Yunlong stood up from his chair, slammed his hand on the table so hard that the teacup on the table shook a few times, and said loudly: "Brigade Commander, now I understand everything you said!

Damn it, those Kuomintang troops have been staring at us like they were thieves!

How can we give away the territory we fought so hard for to them for nothing? "

"The brigade commander is absolutely right!" Ding Wei also stood up and echoed, "While those Kuomintang soldiers haven't reacted yet, we must seize these key cities firmly in our hands. We must not let them succeed!"

Wang Lin looked at the excited crowd, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "That's what I mean!

Therefore, we must seize the time and capture the remaining cities in Henan Province as soon as possible.

Then, we will directly launch a counterattack against Wuchang via the railway!"

Seeing that everyone understood his intention, Wang Lin finally felt relieved.

"Don't worry, Brigade Commander! Leave this matter to us!" Several regimental commanders stood up, patted their chests, and vowed to take on this difficult task.

Afterwards, they quickly left the meeting room and took their troops, heading towards the cities in Henan Province that had not yet been liberated, like an arrow from a bow.

As the combat troops arrived at the target city one after another, fierce fighting broke out instantly.

The Eighth Route Army soldiers adhered to the combat concept of quick victory, as if they were injected with infinite power, and their combat capability increased several times in an instant.

As soon as the battle started, the artillerymen quickly took their positions, and the cannons roared in unison. The shells whistled like raindrops and hit the Japanese positions, instantly blowing the Japanese fortifications into pieces and completely plowing the positions.

Immediately afterwards, the tank troops roared forward, their heavy tracks crushing the Japanese defense line and raising a cloud of dust.

The infantrymen followed closely behind, holding guns and shouting as they rushed into the smoke-filled city.

In the fierce street fighting, the Eighth Route Army soldiers fought a desperate battle with the Japanese army.

With their tenacious will and superb fighting skills, they fought for block by block and cleared house by house.

In just one day, most of the cities in Henan Province were successfully captured, and the five-star red flag was flying high above each city.

At this time, the atmosphere inside the Japanese military headquarters in Wuchang was extremely solemn.

"Commander, the Eighth Route Army has turned the whole of Henan Province upside down. Should we go and support them?" A Japanese officer, with an anxious look on his face, paced back and forth in front of Hata Shunroku, trying to persuade him.

When he thought of Wang Lin's special operations brigade being so arrogant in Henan Province, the arrogance and unwillingness in his heart burned fiercely.

He really couldn't stand the Eighth Route Army acting so recklessly under his nose, and he was eager to fight back to suppress the Eighth Route Army's arrogance.

"I've said this many times!" Hata Shunroku slammed the table, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. His voice was cold and firm, "I can't send another soldier to Henan Province! Going there again would be a waste of life!"

His words were like a heavy hammer, causing everyone present to feel their hearts sink suddenly, and the air in the conference room seemed to freeze.

"If anyone dares to mention this matter in front of me again," Hata Shunroku swept his cold eyes over everyone, "everyone... just pay more attention to your own positions!"

After saying that, he turned around and strode out of the command room, leaving a group of officers standing there in a daze, looking at each other, no one dared to speak.

At this time, Wang Lin's special operations brigade had already wiped out a large number of Japanese troops in Henan Province, with brilliant results.

However, in the west, they encountered an extremely difficult problem.

"Brigade Commander! I have something to report to you!" Zhao Gang came to Wang Lin in a hurry.

There was obvious worry on his face and his brows were furrowed. It was obvious that the matter was serious.

"What's wrong?" Wang Lin keenly noticed Zhao Gang's abnormality, hurried forward and asked with concern.

"This... is a long story."

Zhao Gang paused, a helpless expression on his face.

"Didn't those Nationalist troops in Zhongtiao Mountain move south? Just as we were about to attack Luoyang, their commander came over to stop us, saying that this was their defense zone and we had to get orders from above before we could attack..."

Zhao Gang's tone was filled with anger and helplessness. "Old Li almost got into a fight with them. Those people are so shameless!"

After hearing this, Wang Lin's face instantly darkened, and he couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "These guys...are so shameless."

He knew in his heart that he could not allow this group of nationalist troops to hinder their battle plan, and he had to find a way to solve this problem.

"Alas... If we give Luoyang to them, I guess they won't be able to defeat the Japanese in the city.

Moreover, the Japs in the city might take the opportunity to create chaos in our rear, but we are not allowed to fight now..."

Zhao Gang shook his head and sighed, obviously overwhelmed by this problem and didn't know what to do.

"Fuck, they said we can't fight, so we can't fight?"

Wang Lin was enraged, unable to suppress his anger any longer. He slammed the table and shouted, "Keep hitting me!

I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong! Damn it! These guys really think they're so powerful! "

"But... what if the Nationalist army blames us?" Zhao Gang was still a little worried and stepped forward again to ask cautiously.

"He dares to blame?" Wang Lin sneered, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"We are fighting the Japanese with legitimate reasons. If he dares to obstruct us, does that mean he wants to passively resist the Japanese? I think... the National Army wouldn't dare wear that hat!"

Wang Lin spoke in a firm tone, his eyes revealing unquestionable confidence, and spoke out all his thoughts.

After hearing this, Zhao Gang analyzed it carefully in his mind and felt that it made sense.

"In that case, we will attack Luoyang with all our might! No matter what the Nationalist Army Commander-in-Chief thinks!"

Soon, the independent regiment's attack on Luoyang officially began.

At the same time, the Kuomintang command received news that the special operations brigade was attacking Luoyang.

"These damn Eighth Route Army soldiers! They're really going to fight!" Upon hearing the news, the Nationalist division commander flew into a rage. He slammed his fist on the table and cursed. "Quick! Report the news!"

Immediately afterwards, the news of the special operations brigade's attack on Luoyang quickly reached the ears of the commander-in-chief of the National Army.

The commander-in-chief was also shocked. He never expected that the other party would actually dare to attack Luoyang regardless of any obstruction.

"Damn it! This is totally lawless!" He was so angry that he threw the telegram in his hand hard on the table and kept cursing.

However, at this time he was helpless. He racked his brains but could not find any excuse to interfere with the special operations brigade's attack on Luoyang. He could only feel secretly upset, knowing that he had been completely tricked this time.
