Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 273 The Encirclement and Suppression Advances (Second Update!)
"No problem, as long as the base becomes more and more stable, the scale of these farms will expand sooner or later. Just like our original chicken farm, didn't it start from scratch!" Political Commissar Cheng Xiao comforted.

The expansion of the chicken farm convinced him that as long as there is time, the pig farm and sheep farm will be able to expand to a large enough scale.

While the top-down development of the Independent Regiment was getting more and more on track, the North China Japanese Command was not idle.

Attacking Guangzhou in the south, attacking Wuhan in the middle, and encircling Wutai in the north are the established strategies of the Japanese invaders this year.

According to the combat plan formulated by the Japanese army in North China, in September, 25 elites will be concentrated in [-] routes to launch an attack on the Jinchaji base area centered on Wutai, and wipe out the Eighth Route Army entrenched in the rear of the imperial army in one fell swoop.

However, the battle that took place in Laiyuan broke this plan.

Four thousand imperial troops died on the battlefield, and a large amount of equipment and materials were seized. Since the establishment of the North China Japanese Army Command, it has not suffered such a large loss.

In particular, the loss of a large amount of equipment let the Japanese army know that the battle to encircle and suppress the Jinchaji Eighth Route Army could not wait any longer.

The battle to wipe out four thousand imperial troops at once has made the Japanese army aware of the powerful combat effectiveness of the Jinchaji Eighth Route Army.

If the Eighth Route Army is allowed to use all the equipment seized from Laiyuan to form new troops and form combat effectiveness, then the strength of the Eighth Route Army in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei area will definitely be further expanded.At that time, it will be very difficult for the imperial army to destroy them again.

With this in mind, the Japanese North China Front directly decided to launch an encirclement and suppression campaign against Jinchaji in advance.

The First Army Division of the Eighth Route Army, which wiped out the elite [-] imperial troops of the Laiyuan Ono Brigade, was positioned by the Japanese army as the key attack target for this encirclement and suppression operation.The [-] Imperial Army, the [-] Imperial Alliance Army, plus a large number of artillery units and air support, attacked the First Army Division of the Eighth Route Army together.

Although the entire encirclement and suppression by the Japanese army was carried out in great secrecy, such a large-scale mobilization of troops and material transfers could not be concealed from the intelligence personnel of the Eighth Route Army.

The Eighth Route Army headquarters received the news first, and then notified it to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.

"The [-]-day puppet army divided up and attacked the First Army Division. This time Yang Chengwu was under a lot of pressure! Maybe the newly expanded First Army Division will be severely damaged by the Japanese army and suffer heavy losses!" Commander Nie who got the information He frowned and said with emotion.

The chief of staff frowned deeper, and reminded with a solemn face: "There are more than [-] Japanese puppet troops. There is also an artillery regiment and a mountain artillery regiment. In addition to infantry artillery and other mountain artillery, the large-caliber artillery exceeds How about a hundred, and there is air support!"

"Since when did the Japanese army think highly of our Eighth Route Army? There are more troops dispatched to deal with us than to fight a decisive battle head-on!"

"That's because after the establishment of the base area, our Eighth Route Army beat them badly, and the devils saw our threat, and then sent heavy troops to encircle and suppress us!" Commander Nie replied sharply.

"Although we haven't launched any large-scale battles in the past six months, we have never stopped various small-scale battles. There must have been hundreds of battles. In addition to the results of the last battle of the First Army Division, and the last counterattack As a result of the siege, the devils who died in our hands, even if there are not 1 people, there must be 8000!"

"The loss of so many troops in such a short period of time is no less than a large-scale battle for the Japanese army in North China. Get rid of us, and it is normal for the devils!"

After finishing speaking, Commander Nie directly ordered: "The military situation is urgent, I plan to go to the First Military Division myself!"

"Although the troops in Yang Chengwu's hands have expanded to 2, seven to eight thousand of them are recruits. They have only been trained for less than two months, and they don't know how effective they are. I don't feel relieved if I don't go to his place in person! "

The arrival of Commander Nie at the Headquarters of the First Military Division made Yang Chengwu both happy and worried.

I am happy because Commander Nie came to the first division, which shows that he attaches great importance to the first division.He was worried because Yang Chengwu knew that Commander Nie would never come down if there was no reason.

As for the reason, there may be good or bad, Commander Nie doesn't say, Yang Chengwu doesn't know either.

Soon, the atmosphere at the headquarters was still lively just now, but as Commander Nie laid out all kinds of enemy situations, it suddenly became dignified.

After looking at the map for nearly 5 minutes, Yang Chengwu frowned and analyzed: "The strength of the [-]-day puppet army is far higher than our military division. However, judging from the distribution of the enemy's troops, they seem to have key attack targets! "

"Yes, it is the independent regiment that severely damaged the Japanese Ono Brigade!"

"After supplementing, there are more than 5000 Japanese troops in the Ono Brigade attached to a division of the Imperial Association Army, with a total of more than 1 people. Most of them are prepared for your independent regiment. This kid wants revenge and wipes out the independent regiment in the mountains! "

"Really!" Yang Chengwu affirmed, and his brows frowned even deeper!

After some thought, he analyzed: "I'm not worried about the Japanese and puppet troops in the other three directions. Although half of the troops in the three detachments are recruits, after all, they have been trained for so long, and they are well-equipped and have sufficient ammunition."

"Even if we can't stop the attack of the Japanese and puppet troops, hold them back, fight against them, and finally drag them down, forcing them to end the siege in a hurry, there is still no problem. You know, the strength of the three detachments There are more than 5000 people, and there are a large number of local troops and guerrillas to cooperate with them."

Speaking of this, Yang Chengwu changed the subject and continued: "The only thing to worry about is the independent group!"

"Although the combat independent regiment has expanded a lot of people, its total strength is still controlled below 3000. Although there are still 1000 local troops and 2000 guerrillas to cooperate with them in fighting, the combat effectiveness of the local troops and guerrillas is limited after all. Compared with devils, the disparity in strength is too great!"

Commander Nie was also polite, and directly ordered: "Then go to the independent regiment station, and I will go with you!"

"If you really can't stop the attack of the Japanese and puppet troops, you can find a way to deploy troops to reinforce the independent regiment. If you really don't have troops, you can only abandon the independent regiment's station in Laiyuan, break it up into pieces, and attack the Japanese and puppet regiments that invaded Laiyuan. Fight guerrilla!"

"No, there are a lot of devils stationed in Laiyuan City, it's too dangerous to go to Laiyuan now, Commander, I don't agree!" Yang Chengwu subconsciously objected.

Commander Nie shook his head and replied, "I've decided to go to the Independent Regiment. Last time the Independent Regiment wiped out so many devils, it's reasonable for me to go there as a commander."

"As for safety, you, Yang Chengwu, don't be alarmist. I know something about Laiyuan's situation. There are quite a few devils, but they all stay in Laiyuan City. Even if the devils leave the city, Laiyuan's independent group is not a vegetarian. That's it. Already, we will set off tonight, hurry up and strive to arrive at the Independence Regiment camp at noon tomorrow!"

Commander Nie has made up his mind, Yang Chengwu can only agree: "Yes, Commander!"

When Commander Nie went to rest, Yang Chengwu went to the chief of staff and ordered: "Secretly transfer a company from the guard battalion to protect Commander Nie to go to the independent regiment. Don't inform Wang Ping first, it's the front line after all, fearing that there will be devils and spies. Leaked the commander's whereabouts!"
