My god, run!!!

After Li Daniu returned to the Shuang'ershan Independent Regiment, he immediately went to see Commander Zhou Zheng and told him in detail about every detail of his experience after arriving at the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

Zhou Zheng praised Li Daniu for doing a great job. He told the brothers from the Third Regiment to have a good rest for a day after returning and start military training tomorrow. He also gave the brothers from the Third Regiment and the Transport Regiment an extra meal tonight.

Li Daniu thanked the commander on behalf of all the brothers in the Third Regiment.

You should know that the military training of the Shuang'ershan Independent Regiment is known for its cruelty and strictness. The more sweat you make in peacetime, the less blood you bleed in war. This is not just empty talk, but all of it is put into action in daily military training.

The Shuang'ershan Independent Regiment had just wiped out two Japanese regiments of nearly 8000 people, while the Battle of Shanghai was also in full swing.

The Battle of Shanghai was the first large-scale battle between China and Japan in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and it was also the largest and most brutal battle in the entire Sino-Japanese War.

The Battle of Shanghai began on August 1937, 8. It was a campaign launched by the Chinese government in Shanghai to proactively counterattack in order to change the direction of the Japanese invasion from north to south to east to west in order to facilitate long-term combat.

Nearly one million Chinese and Japanese troops were involved in the battle, which lasted three months. The Japanese deployed nine divisions, totaling approximately 100 men, with over 9 casualties. The Chinese deployed over 22 divisions, including two of their most elite German-equipped divisions, totaling over 9 men, with nearly 70 casualties.

The Battle of Shanghai saw the Japanese army suffer heavy losses due to the most stubborn resistance from the Chinese army. For China, this battle marked the beginning of the undeclared war between China and Japan.

The regional conflict after the July 7th Marco Polo Bridge Incident escalated into a full-scale war, and completely shattered Japan's delusional plan to "destroy China in three months."

With the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in China, the Japanese lost nearly 8000 soldiers from two regiments in Shuang'er Mountain, so they began to carry out a comprehensive sweep of all villages within 50 kilometers around Shuang'er Mountain. For these villages, the Japanese implemented the "Three Alls Policy", that is, burn all, kill all, and rob all.

All of a sudden, all the villages within 50 kilometers of Shuang'er Mountain were engulfed in flames, and all the people were in extreme misery, as if it were hell on earth.

When Zhou Zheng and all the soldiers of the Shuang'ershan Independent Regiment heard the news, they were all furious, their eyes filled with murderous intent, and they vowed to skin and pull out the tendons of all the Japanese devils.

So all the regimental commanders and soldiers asked Commander Zhou Zheng to fight with these Japs with real weapons and to kill them.

Commander Zhou Zheng convened an emergency military meeting and required all officers above the battalion level to attend the meeting in the headquarters' combat conference room.

Zhou Zheng formulated the battle plan: "Lure the Japanese invaders from Shanxi and Hebei to the center of the Shuang'er Mountain Tunnel, encircle and annihilate them all, then skin and remove their tendons, chop off their heads and make a Jingguan."

"Order..." Zhou Zheng shouted loudly. All the officers below stood up, standing straight, listening to Commander Zhou Zheng announce the combat order.

"Captain of the Cavalry Regiment, Sun Dasheng, step out."

"Yes..." the commander of the cavalry regiment, Sun Dasheng, answered loudly.

"Orders: The cavalry regiment is divided into two parts. Take 10 days of dry food and enter the territories occupied by the Japanese in Shanxi and Hebei. Comprehensively harass the Japanese and destroy their manpower and logistical supplies."

"The Japanese will surely go crazy and come to encircle and destroy your cavalry regiment. Then all you have to do is lure them to the two villages before and after entering Shuang'er Mountain."

"After completing the mission, I will give a great merit to your entire cavalry regiment. Do you hear me?" Zhou Zheng shouted loudly.

"Yes... the cavalry regiment is guaranteed to complete the mission." Sun Dasheng answered loudly and excitedly.

"Captain Sun, your cavalry regiment's mission this time is very difficult! It's related to whether our Shuang'ershan Independent Regiment can encircle and annihilate the Japanese's effective forces in large numbers. So your cavalry regiment is heading into Japanese-occupied territory this time. It's like walking on a knife's edge! There's a possibility of annihilation. I hope all the brothers in your cavalry regiment return safely."

"Yes...Comrade Commander. This is the first combat mission since the establishment of our Shuang'ershan Independent Cavalry Regiment. This is our Shuang'ershan Independent Cavalry Regiment's most glorious mission. All of our brothers in the cavalry regiment will never let you down, Comrade Commander, nor will we let down the soldiers of all the brother units of our Shuang'ershan Independent Regiment."

"Please rest assured, Commander Comrade and all the brothers of the Shuang'ershan Independent Regiment, our cavalry regiment is guaranteed to complete the mission." Sun Dasheng said and saluted Commander Zhou Zheng and all the officers present.
