Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 17 What did you say?
"Captain, we've captured seven Japanese prisoners, all wounded."

Deputy Head Zhong came over quickly and reported to Li Yunlong:

"Headquarters has issued an order that any prisoners captured should be sent to headquarters immediately. They have established an anti-war alliance. After receiving education, captured Japanese soldiers can join the alliance and launch a political offensive against the Japanese invading forces in China. We have captured seven Japanese prisoners at once, which is a great achievement!"

It was the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the Japanese soldiers were almost all desperate criminals, and very few were captured.

If we occasionally captured a few Japanese prisoners and sent them to headquarters, it would be considered a great achievement.

Li Yunlong's hands started itching when he saw the Japanese, and he never thought about capturing them.

It was only after Zhong Zhicheng arrived with the Second Battalion, the Third Battalion and the Brigade Special Service Battalion that the prisoners were captured.

If you want to capture the Japanese alive and kicking, it is impossible. Unless the Japanese are injured, the soldiers will have a chance to capture them as prisoners.

Li Yunlong, holding a submachine gun, circled around the Japanese prisoners several times, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

However, the Eighth Route Army has discipline. Although Li Yunlong wanted to do something, he did not dare to do anything to the Japanese prisoners.

However, it happened that these Japanese prisoners woke up, kicked and bit, tore the bandages with their hands, and refused to be carried onto stretchers by the soldiers, causing great difficulties for the soldiers' work.

"You're still so arrogant even though you're a prisoner?"

Li Yunlong was annoyed: "Damn it, if you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the wine for punishment. Ask these bastards, what do they want to do?"

The translator replied, "Report to the regiment commander, these devils are saying, sir, please let us die."

Li Yunlong was delighted when he heard this. "This is the first time I've seen such a request. Everyone, bear witness to my wishes. These devils asked me to do it. I didn't mean to kill them, so I'll grant their wish. I was just worried about how to get them there, and I had to use a reinforced squad to carry the stretcher for these bastards..."

Li Yunlong pulled the bolt of his gun and was about to shoot each of the Japanese soldiers in the head.

But when he looked at the PPSh submachine gun in his hand, Li Yunlong immediately ejected the bullet.

He immediately gave the order: "Take these devils away!"

If he killed these seven wounded Japanese soldiers now, he would not be shot.

However, he will definitely receive a serious punishment and is likely to be demoted to deputy head of the group, and then Zhong Zhicheng will take over as head of the group.

If it were in the past, Li Yunlong would have just shot these Japanese devils.

He has been promoted and demoted from the position of group leader five times and has nothing to do with it.

but.

It’s different now, I have rich friends to work with.

If the cooperation with Mr. Lin is terminated because he is removed from the position of deputy group leader, it would be a huge loss.

and.

If I don't make any mistakes, the brigade commander will have no reason to take advantage of me.

So these devils really can’t be killed. It’s better to send them to the headquarters so that they can be out of sight and out of mind.

Not only will you not be punished, but you will also make a great contribution.

Hey.

Our Old Li is really a genius.

"Yes!"

A squad leader led more than 10 soldiers and carried the Japanese away, while soldiers from another squad followed to protect them.

Li Yunlong drew his gun, which scared Zhong Zhicheng.

Fortunately, it was a false alarm, but at the same time, I was wondering when Li Yunlong became so aware?
If Li Yunlong had been like before, even the Jade Emperor wouldn't have been able to save these devils.

After cleaning up the battlefield here, the battalion commander also led the soldiers back from cleaning up the battlefield on the other side of the Gouzi Village road.

On their shoulders, the soldiers either carried Type 38 rifles or Type rifles.

On the Type 38 rifles carried on the soldiers' shoulders were the captured spoils of war, including the Japanese's cotton-padded jackets, cotton-padded clothes, helmets, and military boots.

There are also some canned goods.

The soldiers' faces were filled with the joy of victory and harvest.

Seeing the soldiers' proud expressions, Li Yunlong's expression was also extremely satisfied. A victory made the New 1st Regiment the best-equipped regiment in the Eighth Route Army, and Li Yunlong also became the richest regiment commander.

Not just seizures.

The Japanese's Type 38 rifle, Type heavy machine gun, and Type heavy machine gun are indeed good things compared to the Hanyang-made and crudely made Czech-made ones.

But compared with the weapons and ammunition on Lin Dakuan's side, the Japanese equipment was nothing.

……

Nanru Village.

Headquarters location.

"A regular main force division couldn't even hold out for two days. How could this happen?"

The head of the headquarters stared at the map on the table and the position of the 73rd Division of the Shanxi Army with a frown.

On the map, the combat staff drew an X with a red pencil on the first line of defense of the 73rd Division of the Shanxi Army, indicating that this position had been captured by the enemy.

The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had such good equipment, so much ammunition and sufficient logistical supplies.

However, the performance of the Jin army in this battle was really disappointing.

However, the 73rd Division was Yan Laoxi's unit after all. Yan Laoxi transferred the 73rd Division to the headquarters chief to command and defend the right wing of the Xinkou battlefield.

The commander didn't want to wipe out the 73rd Division, so he immediately sent a reinforcement.

"This Sakata Regiment is extremely powerful. They just defeated the 27th Division of the Central Army a few days ago, and their morale is at its peak."

"It's normal that the 73rd Division couldn't defeat the Sakata Regiment, but I didn't expect them to be defeated so quickly."

The Deputy Chief of General Staff nodded and said.

The commander immediately asked, "What's the situation on the other battlefields on our right wing?"

"The situation in the other battlefields of our right wing defense is currently quite good!"

The Deputy Chief of General Staff replied:

"The right wing of Xinkou is not the main attack direction of the Japanese army. The Japanese troops attacking our right wing are one infantry brigade and one infantry regiment."

"Moreover, the Japanese army attacked our right wing position from three directions. Aside from the 73rd Division's position, the other two positions were defended by the main force of the 129th Division and two divisions of the Shanxi Army. Their positions were relatively stable."

"Also, the main forces of the 115th and 120th Divisions have infiltrated and detoured into the Japanese rear, waiting for an opportunity to ambush their transport convoy and cut off their logistical supply lines."

"So that's it." The commander nodded. "Now, as long as the 73rd Division holds its position, our right wing's defense line will be unbreakable!"

"That's right!" The Deputy Chief of General Staff nodded.

"But if the 73rd Division fails to hold its position and is defeated by the Sakata Regiment, then the Sakata Regiment will likely cross the 73rd Division's position and encircle the 129th Division, the 101st Division of the Shanxi Army, and the newly formed 2nd Division."

"By then, our entire right-wing army's defense line will be caught in a situation where we are attacked from both sides by the devils."

Compared with the Central Army defending the left wing and the center, and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

The Eighth Route Army had to fight much more flexibly.

Although the Japanese were well-equipped, they had planes, artillery and tanks to protect them.

But the Japanese advanced rapidly, and once their logistical supply lines were cut off, they would be unable to continue the attack.

When the Japanese were out of ammunition and food, the Chinese army might even have a chance to counterattack and defeat the Japanese who had entered Shanxi.

Ding ding ding, ding ding ding...

The phone rang, and a combat staff officer picked up the phone: "Hello, this is headquarters."

Then, Operations Staff Officer Wan covered the microphone and reported, "Commander, it's the commander of the 73rd Division of the Shanxi Army. He wants to report to you."

The commander walked over quickly, took the phone, and put it to his ear: "Commander Liu? Reinforcements are on the way. Please hold on until dark. Reinforcements will arrive soon!"

The next second, after listening to the report from the 73rd Division Commander, the commander's tone suddenly rose eight degrees: "What did you say? The Sakata Regiment has been defeated?"
