Anti-Japanese War: Developing on my own, I brought back a US-equipped division

Follow-up work on the battlefield is not easy.

After receiving Su Zheng's telegram, Xiao Ya immediately arranged for villagers and logistics personnel to come and help.

Although the independent battalion lost more than half of its troops in this battle, the corresponding results achieved were very fruitful.

War is cruel!

Where there is fighting, there will be sacrifices.

Su Zheng couldn't guarantee that everyone would survive every battle.

But what Su Zheng can guarantee is that every soldier’s sacrifice is valuable and will not be in vain.

Moreover, Su Zheng will make the Japanese pay double for this blood debt.

The collection of spoils, cleaning of the battlefield, handling of fallen soldiers, and many other post-war tasks, all went on in an orderly manner.

.....................

Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

The headquarters' staff, military advisers and all military commanders are paying close attention to the movements of the 4th Brigade.

The ambush of the 4th Brigade's Ito Regiment in Shuanghugou, the ambush of the Nakata Battalion in the suburbs of Kitanan Village, and the attack on the Noki Company in Zuobupo...these battle situations were also monitored in real time by the headquarters.

At the beginning, the general and the deputy chief of staff had no idea where these Eighth Route Army troops came from.

Because the relevant troop movements were not reported.

This made the boss a little confused.

As for the ambush of these Eighth Route Army troops, the General and the Deputy Chief of General Staff have been arranging investigation personnel to monitor and keep track of every move.

Two hours later, all the ambushes were basically over.

A combat staff officer came to the general and the deputy chief of staff and said, "Report to the general, I just received the latest battle report."

"The main forces of the Japanese 9th and 13th Brigades have already retreated!"

According to the original battle plan of Yoshio Shinozuka and Ikki Yamamoto, Ikki Yamamoto's special forces would first launch a surprise attack on the Eighth Route Army headquarters, and then arrange for the Fourth Brigade to directly approach the Eighth Route Army's defense zone and annihilate the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

At the same time, the 9th Brigade and the 13th Brigade were responsible for external support and forming a larger encirclement, making sure to completely eliminate the main forces of the Eighth Route Army.

However, as the Japanese battlefield observation group was completely wiped out, the 4th Brigade headquarters was attacked, and the Yamamoto special forces attack was blocked... this made Yoshio Shinozuka realize that the action plan had failed, so he ordered the 9th Brigade and the 13th Brigade to withdraw.

Upon hearing the news, the CEO and the deputy chief of staff were delighted.

The deputy chief of staff looked at the battle map and said, "Boss...it seems that the Japanese are going to give up besieging the main force of our Eighth Route Army!"

The boss smiled and said, "We beat back their special forces and lost sixty special forces devils!"

"The 4th Brigade of the advance force encountered an attack from an unknown 8th Route Army unit, so naturally they had to abandon the battle plan."

The Deputy Chief of General Staff nodded and said, "Yes... this time the Japanese plan failed again."

"I just don't know which unit is blocking the main force of the 4th Brigade?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a signalman ran into the Eighth Route Army headquarters and came to the general and said, "Report to the general, the ambush battle at Zuobupo is over!"

"Our independent regiment successfully ambushed more than 400 Japanese soldiers from the Nogi Squadron and won the ambush!"

The boss nodded and said, "Well... the independent regiment fought well in this battle."

One regiment could wipe out more than 400 Japanese devils, which was definitely a powerful achievement for the Eighth Route Army.

After all, the Eighth Route Army's equipment was very backward, and there were problems with the combat effectiveness of its soldiers, so it was not easy to kill a Japanese soldier.

This is also the reason why the boss affirmed the independent regiment's ambush at Zuobupo.

Seeing this, the deputy chief of staff half-jokingly said, "Boss...didn't you say before that the independent regiment was made of dough?"

The boss grinned and said, "The independent regiment's combat effectiveness is still quite good, and it has won many battles before."

"But the battle of Yangcun was indeed too shameful and a complete failure, so I cursed the independent regiment as a bunch of dough!"

"Actually... the Independent Regiment is still the main force of our Eighth Route Army."

"But sometimes, if you don't scold them, they won't know how to be brave after knowing shame. For example, in the battle of Zuobupo this time, didn't the independent regiment fight very well?"

The deputy chief of staff nodded and said, "Well... Boss... you are right... if a unit makes meritorious contributions, it should be rewarded, and if it makes mistakes, it should be scolded and punished!"

Indeed, there is no order without rules.

Not long after the Battle of Zuobuso ended, the Battle of Beinancun also ended.

After the battle of Beinan Village ended, the reconnaissance soldiers immediately reported the situation to the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

A communication soldier also quickly ran to the boss and said, "Report to the boss, the battle of Beinan Village is over."

"Under the attack of our cavalry and infantry, the Japanese Nakata Battalion was completely wiped out, and not a single Japanese soldier survived!"

Hearing this, the boss was suddenly overjoyed and said, "Well done...well done...very well done!"

"We used infantry and cavalry to fight against the Nakata Battalion of more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers, and finally achieved such a good result, completely annihilating more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers of the Nakata Battalion. This is really a beautiful fight!"

The deputy chief of staff was also excited and said, "Yes... Boss... I didn't expect that the coordinated operations of cavalry and infantry could achieve such results. This has accumulated a lot of experience for us!"

The boss was in a good mood, with a smile on his face as he said, "Yes... the Eighth Route Army troops in the Battle of Beinan Village this time have demonstrated a new mode of infantry and cavalry combat, which is indeed worthy of reference and exchange. However, up to now... we still don't know which part this troop belongs to!"

Deputy Chief of General Staff: “I believe there will be results soon.”

In the Battle of Beinan Village, the cavalry company and the independent battalion had only more than 607 people, but the was able to wipe out more than Japanese soldiers. This really surprised the general and the deputy chief of staff.

This battle was fought beautifully.

About twenty minutes later, a messenger came to the general and the deputy chief of staff again and said, "Report to the general, the Shuanghugou battle is over!"

"After more than two hours of fighting, our Eighth Route Army successfully annihilated the Ito Regiment of the Japanese Fourth Brigade!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the general manager and the deputy chief of staff were both surprised.

Because they knew the Ito Corps, a fully-staffed corps of more than 3,000 people.

The Ito Regiment is a more elite regiment than the Sakata Regiment, equipped with armored vehicles and tanks.

The Eighth Route Army, which lacked heavy weapons, had a great headache facing the Ito Regiment.

Since there was no way to get rid of their tanks, the soldiers could only charge towards the tanks and armored vehicles in a suicide squad manner, and then detonate the explosive packs... This was the most backward and most devastating anti-tank method.

But now, the Ito Regiment was annihilated by this Eighth Route Army unit?

This naturally caused surprise to the Deputy Chief of General Staff and the general manager.

The boss looked at the deputy chief of staff and asked, "What do you think about this?"

"The Ito Regiment is the most elite regiment of the 4th Brigade. It is well-equipped and has strong combat effectiveness. It has many tanks, armored vehicles and artillery. But I didn't expect that they were completely wiped out!"

The deputy chief of staff was silent for a moment, then he said, "Boss... this Eighth Route Army is very powerful!"

"Although we took the initiative in the battle by ambushing, the elite Ito Battalion is not easy to deal with!"

The boss nodded and said, "Yes... So I was really surprised and even shocked that the Battle of Shuanghugou could achieve such a result!"

"Now I am even more curious about which part of the Eighth Route Army these suddenly appearing troops belong to..."

Chapter 172 It’s confirmed! This is Su Zheng’s independent camp! The boss is dumbfounded! (Fourth update, please subscribe)

Now the general and the deputy chief of staff both want to know where this Eighth Route Army came from.

The deputy chief of staff looked at the battle map and the enemy and our own situation map, analyzed it for a moment, and said: "Judging from the results of the two battles of Beinan Village and Shuanghugou, this Eighth Route Army unit is well-trained, well-equipped, and extremely powerful."

"This... this can't be Su Zheng's independent camp, right?"

Now the first thing the Deputy Chief of General Staff thought of was Su Zheng’s independent battalion.

Because only Li Yunlong's New 1st Regiment is now in the stage of independent development and does not need to be restricted or dispatched by superiors.

Therefore, it is not impossible for them to suddenly appear in Shuanghugou and Beinan Village.

In the new regiment, only Su Zheng's independent battalion has strong combat effectiveness, excellent equipment and good training.

Therefore, the Deputy Chief of General Staff immediately suspected Su Zheng’s independent battalion.

The boss was silent for a moment, then said, "This... shouldn't be the case, right?"

"After all, according to the intelligence we have obtained, the number of Eighth Route Army troops in Shuanghugou and Beinan Village is nearly 3,000!"

"Su Zheng came to our headquarters a while ago and said that the army had 2,000 people. This is a difference of nearly 1,000 people!"

"This... Could it be that Su Zheng has developed more than a thousand people and formed such a strong fighting force in such a short period of time? It should be unlikely."

The boss found it a little impossible.

The deputy chief of staff was silent for a moment, then said, "If it's not Su Zheng's independent battalion, I can't think of any other possibilities!"

It is not subject to the deployment of superiors, can use troops freely, and has strong combat effectiveness and excellent equipment...it seems that only an independent battalion is suitable.

The boss nodded and said, "Well... the biggest possibility is Su Zheng's independent camp, but I don't think Su Zheng's independent camp should have so many people!"

Deputy Chief of General Staff: "I believe we will soon have the answer to the origin of this unit!"

Sure enough, as soon as the voice fell, a combat staff officer hurried to the front of the general and the deputy chief of staff, saluted and said: "Report to the general, the Eighth Route Army troops that appeared in Shuanghugou and Beinan Village have been found out!"

"According to the investigation results from the front line, it was finally determined that the Eighth Route Army troops that appeared in Shuanghugou and Beinan Village were from the independent battalion of the New 129st Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the th Division of our army!"

Independent camp?

Is it really an independent camp?

This... this is confirmed!

Previously, the Deputy Chief of General Staff had speculated that this emerging Eighth Route Army unit was an independent battalion.

But I'm not sure yet.

Now that this piece of intelligence has been received, it has basically confirmed that these emerging Eighth Route Army troops are independent battalions.

The boss was stunned for a moment, a little dumbfounded, then he came to his senses, looked at the operations staff, and asked, "Is the information accurate?"

Operations Staff: "Accurate... We can confirm it is the Independent Battalion!"

It is actually not difficult to determine the origin of this group of Eighth Route Army. All you have to do is go up and ask.

Boss: "Okay... I understand. You can go down first! "

When the operations staff went down, the general immediately showed a delighted smile on his face. He looked at the deputy chief of staff and said, "Hahaha... you are really good... you guessed that this unit is Su Zheng's independent battalion!"

"I really didn't expect it! The last time Su Zheng left our headquarters it wasn't long ago... and it has grown to a combat force of more than 3,000 people so quickly, hahahaha!"

The boss was very surprised and delighted to learn that the troops involved in the ambushes in Shuanghugou and Beinan Village were Su Zheng's troops.

This shows that Su Zheng's independent battalion has developed rapidly, has amazing combat effectiveness, is well-equipped and well-trained.

This is a good thing!

After all, the independent battalion is a unit of the Eighth Route Army.

Naturally, the stronger the Eighth Route Army troops are, the better.

The deputy chief of staff also smiled: "Haha... Boss... I just made a random guess, but I didn't expect it to be Su Zheng's independent battalion!"

"I have to say that Su Zheng's independent battalion really has a big appetite. It actually devoured the elite Fourth Brigade of the Japanese Army. The most important thing is that it succeeded... This is simply incredible!"

When he said this, the Deputy Chief of the General Staff could hardly hide his surprise on his face.

Ito Regiment, Nakata Battalion and Nogi Company...these are the main forces of the 4th Brigade.

Now that these troops have been annihilated, the Deputy Chief of General Staff naturally sees that Su Zheng's independent battalion has a big appetite and wants to swallow up the Fourth Brigade.

The boss also nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes... Su Zheng's independent battalion only has about 3,000 people, but he dared to attack the elite Fourth Brigade. This is really commendable!"

"Just as you said, the independent battalion has now completely wiped out the Ito Regiment and the Nakata Battalion... This shows the strong fighting ability of the independent battalion. It really surprises me!"

The headquarters has not received any relevant news or intelligence regarding the battle situation in the Huting stronghold and Hanlue Village.

So now the general and the deputy chief of general staff don’t know that the headquarters of the 4th Brigade has been destroyed and the Japanese battlefield observation group has been wiped out... If they knew these battle records, they would be even more surprised at the power of Su Zheng's Independent Battalion.

But even so, when the independent battalion completely wiped out the Ito Regiment and the Nakata Battalion, the general and the deputy chief of staff were still very surprised.

After all, this is a very rare victory.

Deputy Chief of General Staff: "Boss, the combat effectiveness of the current independent battalion really surprises us."

"This also shows that Su Zheng has some experience in recruiting and training soldiers. I think we should organize officers of our Eighth Route Army to go to Su Zheng's base to learn from him!"
