Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1254 The Impatient Head of the Division (First Update!)

"Order the imperial troops on the front line to stop the attack immediately!" Neiji Okamura decided to compromise.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he added: "The most urgent thing for us now is to withdraw from Southwest Shanxi, ease the pressure on other battlefields, and win this large-scale raid against the Eighth Route Army! Let's clean up the battle!"

"At that time, I will ask the Jinsui army to return ten times and a hundred times the humiliation I received today!"

"In addition, contact the intelligence department. After the imperial army withdraws from southwestern Shanxi, they will find a way for me to create friction between the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army, so that they can fight each other as soon as possible. I don't care about the other Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army in Linfen is a new one. The regiment will never allow any troops to go north to reinforce other battlefields!"

By the time the news of the retreat reached the front line by telegram, the battle between the devils and the Jinsui Army had lasted for more than two hours.

The four infantry squadrons of the Japanese army all took turns to launch the attack, and all the mountain artillery, mortars, and infantry artillery equipped were also set up.

The Jinsui Army lost a lot, especially the mortar company.Less than 5 minutes after the artillery was fired, it was locked by the devil artillery and then destroyed.

"Regimental Commander, the devils are retreating!" The deputy commander of the regiment standing beside him replied with a sigh of relief.

"Finally retreat, if we don't retreat, even if our regiment is not killed by the little devils, we will be beaten to the bone! However, we have also killed at least [-] little devils. This battle was not in vain!"

At this moment, the radio operator suddenly rushed over: "Regiment, order from the division headquarters!"

"The 109th Regiment is on its way here, and the division headquarters ordered us to stand still. After the 109th Regiment arrives, hand over the garrison to the 109th Regiment and then the whole regiment retreats. Follow the 109th Regiment as a follow-up force and continue to follow and chase the Japanese army!"

"Call back the teacher, I will carry out the order!"

Under the harassment and destruction of the directly subordinate troops, the Japanese army retreating quickly and the Jinsui army chasing after them staged a conflict in different places almost every night.

Of course, these conflicts all ended with the little devil voluntarily retreating.

At the headquarters of the new regiment, Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong walked in with a complicated face, holding a message he had just received.

"The head of the regiment, the political commissar, and the team directly under Li Wen sent a telegram: The scattered troops of the Japanese army have been assembled. The total strength of the Japanese army and the puppet army exceeds 5000!"

"Heavy artillery, large-caliber mountain artillery, all towed by cars, field artillery, ordinary mountain artillery, infantry artillery, all towed by rough horses. In addition, these Japanese troops also brought more than [-] carts full of various supplies with the army!"

"No accident, at dawn tomorrow, they will enter our base area and head straight to Linfen to kill them!"

"In addition, the results of the operations of the directly subordinate team in the past few days are very gratifying. Although the Japanese army and the Jinsui Army are very cautious, nearly a thousand little devils were killed on the way of assembly. However, the loss of the Jinsui Army is relatively large, which should exceed 3000 people!"

Wang Ping replied very satisfied: "It's pretty good that they can kill a thousand little devils!"

"If the direct subordinate team didn't intervene, the thousand little devils who were killed would definitely enter our base area and put a lot of pressure on us!"

"Political commissar, chief of staff, from now on, it's our new regiment's turn!"

"Let's destroy the road first and slow down the marching speed of the Japanese army. We don't move during the day and move at night. We use guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare. Let's have fun with them!"

"If I remember correctly, the puppet army of more than 2 days fought positional warfare with the Jinsui army on the front line in southwestern Shanxi from the very beginning. They rarely fought against us. They have never really seen our guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare!"

"Next, we will take advantage of this weakness of the Japanese and puppet troops, consume them a lot, and let them expose more loopholes and fighter opportunities!"

"We still have the old rules. The political commissar stays behind and is responsible for clearing the base area and destroying roads. The chief of staff and I go to the front line and directly command the troops to fight!"

More than 5000 Japanese puppet troops, coupled with a large number of artillery and heavy vehicles, even if the marching ranks were very dense, the mighty ranks still stretched for more than eight kilometers.

Lieutenant General Kato, the head of the division, is the supreme commander of this Japanese and puppet army.

Although he has never fought against Xinyituan, he still knows the ability of his old partner Fujino very well.

Fujino led a division into Linfen, and within a year and a half he was killed by Xinyituan, and he himself was sent to a military court.This result was beyond Kato's expectation, and at the same time, he was afraid of the opponent he was going to face next.

"Division commander, cross the mountain ridge ahead and enter the base of the Eighth Route Army!" Inside the armored command vehicle, the chief of staff pointed to a point on the map and reported.

"The vanguard reports that the Eighth Route Army guarding the mountain ridge has retreated, leaving only an empty position. They have already crossed the position, and we can get there in an hour!"

"I can't wait!" Kato's eyes sharpened immediately, staring at the map and muttering to himself.

"As far as I know, this new regiment has defeated several generals of the empire. I haven't encountered such an opponent for a long time!"

"Order the troops to strengthen their vigilance. The forward troops, the two wings cover troops, and the escort air force must ensure that there is no Eighth Route Army around us!"

"They are best at guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare. Although I haven't really seen it before, as long as they don't get close to us, no matter how powerful the tactics are, they will be useless in front of me!"

"Hey, I'll give you an order immediately!" The chief of staff quickly replied.

Suddenly, a screeching sound of brakes reached the ears of the two, and then they heard the report from the driver of the armored vehicle.

"Sir, the team has stopped!"

Just as he was about to speak, the door of the armored vehicle was opened and a communications officer rushed in panting.

"Sir, the forward troops report that the only way we must retreat has been destroyed by the Eighth Route Army~"

"The road must be repaired before we can move forward. The forward troops are waiting for your order!"

"Boom..." As soon as he finished speaking, a faint explosion came from the front.

Lieutenant General Kato frowned when he heard the chief of staff next to him report: "The sound of the explosion came from the vanguard!"

"The armored command vehicle continues to move forward. I want to go to the mountain ridge in front to observe the situation!" Kato couldn't sit still, and immediately ordered.

In less than 10 minutes, Kato climbed up the ridge under the protection of the guards.

Standing on the empty ground, Kato can commandeer and have a panoramic view of the situation for several kilometers before and after the mountain ridge!

Raising the binoculars, the vanguard troops less than one kilometer across the mountain ridge came into his field of vision.

More than 200 people parked on the road. The road ahead could no longer look like a road. There were potholes and deep ditches everywhere, like a battlefield covered by artillery fire. There was not even a flat place to be found.

When Kato's face became more and more serious, a lieutenant climbed up out of breath: "Sir, the forward troops encountered a landmine planted by the Eighth Route Army on the road during the investigation, and five imperial troops were killed or injured. We need reinforcements from the engineering regiment!"
