Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1033 Good start? (Second update!)

At nine o'clock in the evening, both the division commander and the chief of staff were at the division headquarters.

The ongoing battle on the front line of Liulin is nothing to the division commander who commanded more than 2 Japanese troops and more than 3 puppet troops.

However, it is related to whether the army's next sweeping attack on the Suide Military Region can have a good start.Therefore, both of them attach great importance to it, and wait until the battle report from the front line arrives before they can sleep peacefully.

"Division commander, chief of staff, urgent call from the front line!" The communications staff officer finally rushed into the war room, and brought the battle report from the front line that the two of them were eager to know!
"Has the battle on the frontline already started! The frontline garrison is following the division commander's order to show weakness to the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army, and then consume them little by little in the defensive battle!" The chief of staff asked, staring at the communications staff officer!
"It's not... the chief of staff..." The communications staff quickly replied.

"After the Eighth Route Army reached our stronghold, it was not in a hurry to launch an attack, not even a tentative attack. It directly surrounded our stronghold, and then built fortifications around the stronghold, dug trenches, and put on a posture of besieging us for a long time!"

"What does the Eighth Route Army want to do? Trapping our troops who are holding on to a few strongholds~" the chief of staff asked in confusion.

Then he added: "If this is the case, when our main force reaches Liulin tomorrow, we can cooperate with the garrisons in these places, attack from inside and outside, and kill the Eighth Route Army that is besieging us around the stronghold. This is nothing but beneficial to us. One harm!"

"Not necessarily!" The head of the division retorted after a moment of hesitation.

"We dispatched heavy troops to kill Liulin. With the intelligence gathering capabilities of the Eighth Route Army, it is impossible not to know about such a big movement. We knew that our main force was about to kill us, but we still stayed around our stronghold and waited for our main force to make dumplings. Isn't that sending you to death?"

"Do you think the commander of the Eighth Route Army is so stupid?"

The chief of staff shook his head.

It is not once or twice to fight the Eighth Route Army. Not only are they good at capturing fighters, they are flexible and resolute in combat, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. The word stupid has absolutely nothing to do with them!
Then he stared at the head of the division and asked, "What do you mean?"

"If the judgment is not wrong, we should have been fooled~ The Eighth Route Army must have some new conspiracy waiting for us!"

"Wait a minute, there are more than 300 people in our five strongholds on the front line, of which the imperial army accounts for more than half. I don't know about the conspiracy, there should be no problem insisting on six or seven hours a night..."

The two stayed at the command post and waited for almost an hour, but there was still no news from the front line.

The anxious chief of staff couldn't help reminding: "The Eighth Route Army's encirclement circle should have been built in more than an hour. If they don't attack our stronghold, they will have no time... Division commander, do you want me to send a message to the frontline garrison now?" Send a telegram to ask about the battle situation!"

"Wait a little longer!" The head of the division was much calmer, shaking his head and answering.

After another half an hour, when the head of the division could hardly sit still, the communications staff finally rushed in.

"Sir, something happened on the front line of Liulin!"

"The artillery, the Eighth Route Army and the artillery have not been destroyed, and now they have appeared near our stronghold...Because the stronghold has been surrounded by the Eighth Route Army regiments, even if they want to retreat, they have no chance, they can only stick to the stronghold!"

"How many artillery guns appeared near the strongholds, and how many artillery guns there are in total!" The worry in his heart became a reality, and the head of the division was more anxious than anyone else. Before the chief of staff could speak, he stared at the communication staff and asked back.

"Two infantry guns and two mountain guns appeared near the stronghold of the second largest pair of garrisons!"

"Because the other strongholds are not equipped with radio stations, they can only be contacted by telephone. Maybe it's because their telephone lines leading to external connections were cut off by the Eighth Route Army. We lost contact with the remaining four strongholds an hour ago. Find out what's going on with them!"

The bad premonition in the head of the division became even stronger, and he frowned and ordered: "Send a telegram to the second largest counterpart: Let them immediately find out the situation of the surrounding strongholds!"

"Also, order them to find a way to break out of the siege. The Eighth Route Army has mountain artillery and infantry artillery, and they have enough ammunition. The only way for the troops to hold on to the stronghold is to be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army~"

"No matter how much you pay, you must break through, even if you only break through with one-tenth of your troops!"

"Hi……"

The order from the division headquarters was sent out, and the second brigade also received it.However, the second brigade did not get a chance to call back.

Just 2 minutes after receiving the order, two shells hit the gun tower where the brigade headquarters is located.

The turret did not collapse, but a shell just hit the outer wall of the turret where the telecommunications room of the Devil's Second Battalion was located.

The violent explosion blasted a huge hole in the turret, and the two radio operators, together with the radio station, were smashed to pieces by the flying masonry!
At the division headquarters, the chief of staff ran in from the telecommunications room with an anxious expression on his face.

"Division commander, I haven't contacted the second brigade yet~ They seem to have disappeared, and there is no news from the radio station!"

"I have just sent a telegram to the garrison who reoccupied Liulin County, asking them to send someone to check these strongholds immediately. If there is any news, I will send it back as soon as possible..."

The face of the head of the division had become very gloomy, and he affirmed without any hesitation: "Something must have happened to them!"

"Chief of Staff, now we must prepare for the complete annihilation of all the troops stationed on the Liulin front line by the Eighth Route Army tonight!"

"How is it possible?" The chief of staff still had an expression of disbelief.

"The Eighth Route Army didn't have artillery...how did they take down our heavily defended stronghold? There must be an accident somewhere, and then we lost contact with them!"

"Conspiracy, I have at least [-]% certainty to judge that the operation of the Eighth Route Army Suide Military Region tonight was a complete conspiracy from the very beginning...Although I don't know what this conspiracy is yet? But, definitely and how to bomb our heavy defense It is related to the stronghold!"

At four o'clock in the morning, the head of the division and the chief of staff, who had been waiting almost all night, finally got the report from Liulin County.

Seeing the communications staff officer approaching with a solemn face, although he hadn't spoken yet, from his expression, the division head already had a premonition that his initial judgment had come true.

"Division commander, chief of staff, something happened to Liulin!"

"A total of five strongholds were taken by the Eighth Route Army, and all the defenders were killed. Except for the corpses, nothing was found on the entire battlefield, not even a single bullet casing."

The chief of staff's face turned pale, and he didn't react for a long time.

The head of the division reacted quickly because he had already made a judgment. He stared at the communications staff and asked, "Do you know how the Eighth Route Army took down our stronghold in such a short period of time!"

"I don't know!" The communications officer shook his head and replied.

"They reported that the Eighth Route Army cleaned up the battlefield too thoroughly, and the stronghold was directly blown into ruins, and there was no useful evidence at all!"

"That is to say, the more than 2000 troops stationed on the front line of Liulin were completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army in just one night!"
