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

After cleaning up the battlefield, the Independent Regiment and the New 1st Regiment quickly left.

Fighting is still going on in other parts of Yangquan. According to the latest intelligence they have received, the 771st and 772nd Regiments have begun fighting with the support regiment of the th Independent Mixed Brigade.

The two sides fought very fiercely and the stalemate lasted for a long time.

Fortunately, the 771st Regiment successfully completed its mission, not only destroying the enemy's railway, but also successfully blocking the enemy's attack.

This time, Brigade Commander Chen led the team personally, and faced more than 3000 Japanese devils.

The 4th Independent Mixed Brigade suffered heavy losses and had to retreat temporarily.

The Japanese army was completely caught off guard by this sudden attack, which resulted in the other side not making any preparations in advance. The Zhengtai Railway was unable to gather troops in the first place.

......

Japanese Shanxi Front Headquarters.

"Baga, what on earth do you do for a living?"

Yoshio Shinozuka threw the telegram in his hand to the ground, his face became extremely ferocious and veins bulged.

Just now, news came from the front line that their battle had failed. The Eighth Route Army had already made preparations and fought against them in advance.

The troops sent out not only failed to complete the mission, but also suffered heavy losses.

The Eighth Route Army also suffered heavy losses, but the problem was not that the other side's main purpose was to destroy the railway. Once the railway was destroyed, the battle would be useless even if the Eighth Route Army suffered huge sacrifices.

Once their cage plan fails, it means that the Eighth Route Army can reunite and develop freely.

This year's plans will fall through.

Yoshio Shinozuka leaned on the table, thinking constantly in his mind.

The Eighth Route Army's action this time was extremely sudden. They launched the attack while they were carrying out a mopping-up operation in other areas.

According to the intelligence currently available, the other side has dispatched at least hundreds of regiments.

The several independent mixed brigades and local stronghold troops they sent out were simply unable to stop the enemy.

Thinking of this, he became even angrier.

Yoshio Shinozuka kicked the table hard several times and then roared.

"Immediately mobilize all the troops we have and make sure to stop their plan."

"Remember, at all costs, no matter how great the sacrifice, we must stop them from breaking out of our cage."

He was extremely anxious, and so was General Okamura Yasuji at the North China Command.

However, even if the North China Front Army wanted to provide support, it would be too late. They were now focusing on battles in other war zones. If they asked the army to retreat at this time, they would definitely not be able to provide timely support.

......

Over the next few days, the Japanese continued to send more reinforcements, and large numbers of Japanese and puppet troops launched fierce counterattacks.

Because this time they are determined to stop it at all costs, the Japanese have already used their rights.

The Eighth Route Army soon suffered a counterattack from the Japanese and suffered heavy losses.

Because the plan had almost been implemented and great damage had been caused to the railway, the superiors issued an order to retreat in order to reduce losses.

Fierce battles broke out in various places, and even the Eighth Route Army's retreat was blocked by the Japanese.

The battle in Yangquan was also very fierce.

The troops of the 129th Independent Mixed Brigade launched a fierce attack on the th Division of the Eighth Route Army.

However, due to the victory in the local battle and the excellent ambush of the main force, the Japanese were the first to suffer heavy losses.

The commander of the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade, Mitsutake Tsuda, was standing on the hillside looking at the defense line in front of him.

The troops of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army were deployed here, but they had launched many charges but failed to achieve any results.

"idiot!"

Mitake Tsuda couldn't help but curse.

He frowned tightly and looked in the direction in front of him, but didn't know what to do.

The Eighth Route Army was very stubborn and their army was very large in number. The main forces had basically been concentrated here to put up a tenacious resistance.

Just at this moment, the brigade chief of staff came over.

"Report to the General, the fighting is also very fierce in other places, and reinforcements cannot arrive in time."

"The rest of our forces are now conducting a sweep outside. These damned Eighth Route Army troops must have taken this opportunity to launch a surprise attack."

Mitake Tsuda gritted his teeth, knowing that they definitely had no reinforcements now.

"Keep attacking, keep bombing!"

The chief of staff couldn't help swallowing, and then said something in a low voice.

"Just received news that the second battalion has been sacrificed and all members have been wiped out."

Upon hearing the news, Tsuda Mitake's eyes widened with disbelief.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. There are only the Independent Regiment and the New 1st Regiment over there. How could two auxiliary regiments possibly wipe out the Second Battalion?"

"The Second Battalion is a reinforced battalion, with over a thousand puppet troops, a total of over 2000 troops. Even if they were just 2000 idiots, it's impossible for them to be wiped out in such a short time."

The Chief of Staff continued.

"Both the Independent Regiment and the New First Regiment have had outstanding combat records, especially the Independent Regiment. Colonel Yamamoto has already mentioned that there is a special operations team like theirs within the Independent Regiment, and they are very powerful."

"I believe this independent regiment is definitely not simple, otherwise it would be impossible for them to destroy our troops so easily."

Mitake Tsuda's face looked extremely ugly.

Their second battalion was completely wiped out by the enemy, and the other side's large-scale regiment also failed to achieve any results.

Their 4th Independent Mixed Brigade suffered heavy losses but failed to achieve any results.

This was simply a humiliation for him.

As an independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army, we have never felt so aggrieved.

However, he had no choice but to roar helplessly here. Facing the defense line built by the 129th Division, he could only stare blankly.

......

The battle on the east side of Yangquan Railway was very fierce, but Wang Lin's side was relatively leisurely.

After the Japanese soldiers in Ma'anzhuang were eliminated, the enemy's second battalion was also eliminated.

After defeating the enemy's second battalion, the Japanese seemed to have given up the attack on Ma'anzhuang and instead concentrated on the defense line east of Yangquan.

This also means that the other brother troops also fought very well and blocked the opponent's attack.

According to the instructions from their superiors, the 129th Division will retreat soon, and the railway on their side has probably been almost completely bombed.

Not only did the entire Eighth Route Army win this battle, it also eliminated the threat to the Zhengtai Railway and destroyed many railways.

The independent regiment also reaped great rewards in this battle.
