Liang Jian: I have a canteen

Chapter 960 Retreat

The Huangyadong battlefield, hundreds of kilometers away, is now coming to an end.

Overall, the casualties on both sides were similar.

But in fact, the Eighth Route Army had the upper hand, because as they fought and seized more weapons, they had more and more experience, and gradually gained the upper hand, and it can be said that they became more and more adept at fighting.

On the contrary, the Japanese troops were very powerful at the beginning. After a fierce attack that overwhelmed the Eighth Route Army, they were unable to organize a good offensive posture. Moreover, the battle lasted for more than five days and supply became a problem.

Faced with this situation, Yoshio Shinozuka has issued an order for an orderly withdrawal, because he knows that if the fighting continues, the results will probably outweigh the gains.

Yamamoto did not receive the order to retreat, but Shinozuka still let him roam around the Eighth Route Army's hinterland, waiting for opportunities to behead senior Eighth Route Army officials and attack important strongholds to create some trouble for the Eighth Route Army.

In this small battle of Huangyadong, Yamamoto Laoyinbi performed well. Although he suffered losses at the beginning from Ding Wei, in the subsequent battles, he still wiped out two regimental headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. For this, Shinozuka specially sent a telegram to commend him.

However, in addition to receiving the commendation telegram, he also received a telegram saying that Xu San had woken up.

Thinking of Xu San's annoying face, Yamamoto suddenly felt a toothache.

This was the first time he had seen someone who could not be killed even by thunder.

Yamamoto was very knowledgeable and naturally knew how much energy was contained in a bolt of lightning. The fact that he couldn't kill Xu San could only mean that Xu San was a man favored by God.

He sighed deeply. He didn't know what to let Xu San do now, because he suddenly felt that even if he assigned this kid a mission to die, he might not die. Besides, he didn't know where the Fifth Battalion had gone. He couldn't give orders even if he wanted to, not to mention that the entire Huangyadong army was evacuating.

It was at this time that he received another secret message from Shinozuka. After translating it, he felt that it was his luck that Xu San did not die.

Just as Xu San guessed, the Zero won a great victory in its first battle, and the Mishima Group's orders for the Zero immediately piled up like a mountain.

Of course, this mountain of orders also includes orders from the Jinxi War Zone.

However, the Zero was originally designed as a carrier-based aircraft and was an air superiority model designed for aircraft carriers.

As we all know, the Japanese navy and army have never gotten along well, and the Mishima Group is clearly on the side of the navy, so it is really unknown when this batch of orders from Jinxi will be captured.

The Jinxi Command sent someone to inquire, and the Mishima Group said it would take at least the summer of 42.

This wait lasted two years.

The Jinxi Command cannot afford to wait that long.

Since Yangmingbao was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, the aircraft in western Shanxi have suffered serious losses. Although some of them have been replenished, there are always problems in replacing those old aircraft, and they are often unable to perform their missions normally.

Now that new fighter jets were ready to be unveiled, the Jinxi Command set its sights on the Zero.

The Japanese also knew how to deal with human relationships and knew how to use backdoors, so Yoshio Shinozuka set his sights on Kazuya Mishima, who was still experiencing life in his own army.

He could have done this kind of thing himself, but after considering various issues, he decided to let Xu San do it, because he learned from Fujita Osamu that Xu San and Mishima Kazuya had a good personal relationship, and it would be better for him to do it than to do it himself, so as to avoid being seen and gossiped about.
