Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

Although they had swept through Fuxin, Chaoyang, and other places before coming, and each person carried more than ten days' worth of dry food, the troops' marching speed was still much slower. Although they had been on the march for two days, they had not yet covered a hundred miles.

The nominal distance from Chaoyang to Chifeng is nearly 300 li, but in reality, it takes more than 400 li to walk. Even if you don't need to walk all the way to Chifeng, just 30 or 40 li away will lead to the base of the Ji-Re-Cha Military Region. But at the current speed, it will take at least a week to ten days to walk.

So much has changed over time.

Li Wanfu was very nervous.

The initial assault on Chaoyang and Fuxin was a success, but if the subsequent evacuation had gone awry, the entire plan would have failed. It was like the massive Jidong Uprising that rocked the entire nation. The uprising was initially a success.

But he hesitated on the issue of holding on to Jidong or evacuating Jidong.

Finally, they chose to retreat, but suffered heavy casualties during the retreat. Therefore, the Jidong Uprising was ultimately a failed uprising.

"Old Sun, what do you think we should do now?"

"Leave behind a capable force to stop the Japanese troops."

"We don't know how many pursuing Japanese troops there are, their weapons and equipment, or their plans. Blindly staying behind to block their advance is not a good idea.

Li Wanfu hesitated.

This is enemy-occupied territory, and we have no control over the movements of the Japanese army.

Even the Japanese army's current pursuit methods are not very well understood. A lot of it is based on their analysis of the situation.

Sun Jiahe said, "But our troops march too slowly. Even if the Japanese pursue us on foot, we will probably be caught up within a day or two. If they chase us by car, even though we use mines to slow them down, it will only take a few hours for them to catch up. If we don't teach them a lesson, they will not give up chasing us."

Li Wanfu nodded.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, can the troops fight? They are not the puppet police before, they should be the Japanese troops.

"Chief of Staff Li, he's a good fighter."

"We can fight, too."

"It won't be a problem. The soldiers we selected this time are all veterans who have fought in many battles before. They have also fought against the Japanese army before.

Everyone patted their chests and guaranteed that they could fight.

Li Wanfu nodded.

Pointing to the hill ahead, he said, "Do you see that place?

Compared to other sections of the highway, this area has the best terrain. The intersections are winding, and from our high vantage point, we can fit them all in. And they can't drive too fast on this kind of road.

The reason why Li Wanfu held the meeting here was actually because he had this plan.

We just need to unify our thoughts.

"Political Commissar, what do you think?" The final decision still has to be made by Sha Xuewen.

Sha Xuewen nodded.

He said, "We should fight. Otherwise, at our current speed, we will be caught by the Japanese sooner or later. If we retreat while fighting, our troops may be dispersed. I think the Japanese army, even if they pursue us, will not have too many people. They can only gather two or three thousand people in a short time. Can we fight?"

"Okay. Let's fight this one, then."

Li Wanfu began to deploy his troops.

Li Wanfu placed his mortar positions across the road, specifically to bombard the Japanese troops on the road. He deployed his heavy machine guns on both flanks, while his troops were deployed forward, where their light machine guns were stationed.

Place the submachine gun troops further forward.

In order to avoid being discovered by the Japanese army, they dug a small hole and hid in it despite it being very difficult.

The ground is cold.

However, Li Wanfu and his team made the right judgment.

The Japanese troops were traveling by car, which was very fast. Within six hours of setting out, they had already arrived at the place where Li Wanfu and his men were ambushed.

Rehe is a place full of mountains, and the roads are all mountain roads.

When we arrived at the place where Li Wanfu was ambushing, the car was moving very slowly because of the winding road.

"boom-"

The front car hit a mine.

Gui Wu was furious when he heard this voice. He had encountered this situation so many times along the way. Now he didn't know the extent of the damage to the car. If he couldn't continue, he would have to leave it here.

So he wanted someone to go and check out the situation.

But soon he heard the sound of artillery fire. It was the sound of mortars. Guiwu Wuyi had been sweeping the Anti-Japanese United Army and immediately realized that he was ambushed. So he immediately shouted, "Get out of the car, get out of the car.

But it's still too late.

"boom

"Boom boom—"

First the mortars, then the canisters.

That is, Li Wanfu only brought three reinforced companies this time, so the number of mortars and grenade launchers in his hands was too small. If the first brigade was ambushed here, then all kinds of artillery fire could directly destroy half of the Japanese army.

After the Japanese army entered the ambush circle, Li Wanfu and his men roughly guessed the number of Japanese troops.

About 140 cars.

Then the heavy machine guns on both wings opened fire.

“Da da da—then the ambushing troops opened fire.

Over 4000 rifles were seized from Chaoyang and Fuxin. Li Wanfu threw in all the troops he could, without reservation. While some of them were new recruits and some were civilians from the base area, the majority were veterans of the Eighth Route Army.

With a gun in hand, you can fight.

Sudden attack caused Japanese casualties to increase rapidly.

These garrisons are no longer the same as before. In the past, in order to suppress the Anti-Japanese United Army, the garrisons were still quite powerful.

Unfortunately, as the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces retreated into the Soviet Union, the garrison played almost no role.

Therefore, many garrisons were expanded and transformed into field troops, and were transferred to the battlefields inland. Many garrisons are now re-recruited from the Northeast. Their combat effectiveness is much worse than that of the previous garrisons.

In a short period of time, more than 300 people were killed or injured.

Guiwu Wuyi was very angry.

After getting out of the car, they wanted to counterattack. The highway was definitely not an option, as the Eighth Route Army was high up and focused on attacking from the highway. There were no suitable counterattack positions on this side of the highway. So Guiwu Wuyi immediately ordered his troops into the mountains.

The Eighth Route Army could use the mountains to set up ambushes, and the Japanese army could also use the mountains to deploy positions.

But just as they retreated into the mountains, the submachine gun unit ambushed at the forefront jumped out. They had been lying motionless in the small pit. At this moment, they suddenly jumped out.

"Da Da Da—

The "Tu Tu Tu" submachine guns made in Jin had too many problems, so the main force did not like to use them very much.

And the submachine gun bullets are consumed too quickly.

With the limited military strength of the Eighth Route Army, how could they dare to use submachine guns in battle?

But at certain times, the role of submachine guns is unmatched by other weapons. Just like at this moment, about 150 Eighth Route Army officers and soldiers suddenly jumped out, all holding submachine guns in their hands.

At close range, who could stop a submachine gun? After all, even though the Jin-made submachine gun had many problems, it was still a submachine gun.

The submachine gun really swept across the area.

In the blink of an eye, the Japanese soldiers who entered the mountains fell to the ground in large numbers.

After they had finished firing their submachine guns, they immediately threw them aside. Then, they pulled out their box guns from their waists and charged into the Japanese camp, firing a barrage of shots. The three reinforced companies Li Wanfu had brought with him from the 16th Regiment were the elite of the elite.

This was not the first time that the Japanese army fought at such short distances.

The fight was very purposeful.

The moment Oniwu Goichi saw the submachine gun, his head fluttered. He knew that at such close range, a submachine gun would be no match. The reason the Japanese army didn't equip submachine guns was because they required so many rounds. A single company of submachine gun soldiers could easily fire hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of rounds in a single battle. If most troops were equipped with submachine guns, even a slightly larger-scale battle would likely require hundreds of millions of rounds. For a country with a relatively low level of industrialization like Japan, how could such a large supply of ammunition be possible?

But the fact that the Japanese army was not equipped with submachine guns does not mean that Oniwu Goichi was unaware of the power of submachine guns.

Therefore, Oniwu Goichi shouted.

"Retreat, retreat."

"boom-"

The troops rushed into the Japanese side and immediately saw Guiwu Wuyi.

Several men aimed their cannons at Guiwu Wuyi. The distance was so close that he was instantly blasted with bullets. To his death, Guiwu Wuyi couldn't understand why he was only on a pursuit mission, and so he died here.

When he encircled and suppressed the Anti-Japanese United Army, the Anti-Japanese United Army's combat effectiveness was not weak, but he had never encountered such a situation.

Of course, he had been in the Northeast for many years and had confused Li Wanfu's troops with the Anti-Japanese United Army. Although the Anti-Japanese United Army was powerful and had a strong fighting spirit, it was completely different from the current Eighth Route Army.

The weapons and equipment of the Jin-Cha-Ji troops, especially the main units, were no less than those of the Japanese security divisions. Gui Wuyi treated the Eighth Route Army as if it were the same Anti-Japanese United Army he had previously surrounded and suppressed, so how could he not suffer a loss?

A dignified Japanese major general died so miserably on the way to pursuit.

Li Wanfu was commanding from above, and when he heard the sound of the submachine gun, he knew the time had come.

The charge was immediately sounded and the entire army went into action.

Chapter 511: Strengthening Public Security

Guiwu Wuyi died in the pursuit.

This Japanese general, who served for many years as an officer in the Kwantung Army's punitive expeditionary force, was arguably guilty of numerous crimes in Northeast China. As an officer in the punitive expeditionary force, he participated in the suppression of the Northeast Volunteer Army and the Anti-Japanese United Army, and countless Northeast Volunteer Army and Anti-Japanese United Army officers and soldiers were killed by him. As the saying goes, evil has its own consequences, and he died on the way to the punitive expedition.

He was riddled with bullets from a submachine gun.

It was not until the Japanese troops behind caught up that they saw his body.

Upon hearing the news that Guiwu Wuyi had been killed, Caochang Chen was furious. He had never imagined such a thing would happen. In the past, when they had attacked the Anti-Japanese United Army, the Anti-Japanese United Army would also seek opportunities to ambush the Japanese and puppet troops. However, these were always small-scale ambushes.

But this time, the Eighth Route Army troops actually ambushed the 1500-man punitive force.

This is something Caochang Chen can no longer accept.

Caochang Chen knew that if this situation continued, he, the commander of the defense army, would be held responsible. The Eighth Route Army had actually infiltrated Chaoyang and Fuxin. If this continued unchecked, would the Eighth Route Army attack Shenyang again?

Therefore, Kusaba Tatsu immediately went to the Kwantung Army Headquarters.

The current situation cannot be resolved by the Defense Force Command alone. The support of the Kwantung Army Command is necessary.

"Commander, please take a look at this."

Michijirou Umezu took the report handed over by Kusaba Tatsui.
