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

Masao Kiyozumi was also puzzled: Why did the gunshots suddenly stop?

More than ten minutes passed.

Tatata...

There was the sound of horse hooves.

Soon, a second lieutenant adjutant ran up to Qingquan Masao and said, "Report to the general, the people of the Aoi Cavalry Battalion have returned. They said they encountered an ambush by the Eighth Route Army Cavalry Unit in Xiaoli Village and suffered heavy losses!"

As soon as these words came out, Qingquan Masao's face changed drastically, and he said, "Quick...quickly call the leader of the Aoi Cavalry Brigade up, I want to understand the situation clearly!"

"Hayi!"

The lieutenant adjutant responded loudly.

Upon learning that fierce fighting had broken out ahead, Lu Shitang, commander of the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army, also came to understand the situation.

Afterwards, a captain from the Aoi Cavalry Battalion came to Kiyomizu Masao.

Qingquan Masao asked quickly: "What happened to your Aoi Cavalry Brigade in front?"

The cavalry captain was a little embarrassed. He saluted Qingquan Masao and said, "We... our Aoi Cavalry Battalion encountered sniper attacks from the Eighth Route Army Cavalry Company in Xiaoli Village and suffered heavy losses."

"From the entire... from the entire brigade, only a hundred or so Imperial cavalrymen managed to break through and escape. The rest of the Imperial cavalrymen... died for their country!"

"What?" Qingquan Masao's face changed drastically: "Where's Aoi-kun? Did he also die for his country?"

The cavalry captain said, "Yes... Captain Aoi also died for his country!"

"This cavalry company of the Eighth Route Army is well-equipped and very powerful. They use submachine guns. Our rifles and cavalry are no match for them, so they were caught off guard!"

Masao Kiyozumi's face changed, and then he asked the cavalry captain to go down and rest.

After listening to the cavalry captain's report, Qingquan Masao and Lu Shitang's faces became very solemn.

Because they realized that this encirclement and suppression of the independent battalion would not be easy!

The 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army had not yet arrived at Xinzhong Village, but they had lost a cavalry battalion... This instantly dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the main force.

Qingquan Zhengxiong looked at Lu Shitang and said, "Brigade Commander Lu, what do you think about this matter?"

Lu Shitang said solemnly: "General Qingquan, I think this battle to encircle and suppress the independent battalion will probably be a fierce battle!"

"The strength of the independent battalion is beyond our imagination. Our cavalry brigade was killed before it even reached the independent battalion's defense zone. Su Zheng is planning to give us a warning!"

"At the same time, this also shows that the independent battalion is not weak. We can't underestimate the enemy!"

Kiyozumi Masao nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too... because this morning, General Shinozuka Yoshio sent a telegram to our 9th Brigade."

"The content is... Yamamoto's special forces encountered an ambush when they attacked the independent battalion headquarters last night. All members of the special forces, including Yamamoto Ikki, died in battle!"

"On his deathbed, Yamamoto Ikki sent a telegram to General Shinozuka Yoshio, warning the general to realize the power of the Independent Battalion and tell us not to be careless. We must destroy the Independent Battalion at all costs, otherwise it will become a big problem in the future!"

"Now it seems... what Yamamoto-kun said is true!"

Yoshio Shinozuka was also very sad when he received Yamamoto Ikki's suicide telegram.

After all, Yoshio Shinozuka still highly values ​​and appreciates Yamamoto Ikki, who is also his favorite general.

Now that Yamamoto Ikki is dead, Shinozuka Yoshio will naturally be very sad.

Afterwards, Yoshio Shinozuka reported the relevant situation to the 9th Brigade and asked Masao Kiyomizu to deal with it carefully.

At the beginning, Masao Kiyozumi did not take the complete defeat of Yamamoto's special forces seriously.

After all, he is a big army advocate.

I think large-scale combat is the right way to go.

Don't believe in special operations.

He felt that the dozens of people in Yamamoto's special forces could not decide the victory of a battle.

So when Masao Kiyomizu learned that Yamamoto's special forces were completely wiped out, he felt that it was because Yamamoto's special forces underestimated the enemy and entered the enemy's territory, which led to their eventual end.

But now that the cavalry battalion of the 9th Brigade was destroyed, Qingquan Masao finally realized the power of Su Zheng's Independent Battalion.

Lu Shitang took a deep breath and said, "General Qingquan, I think that in this military operation, we should make use of our equipment and air superiority to completely destroy their fortifications. This will facilitate our attack!"

Qingquan Masao nodded and said, "Yeah...I thought so too!"

"It seems that this independent battalion is not a local Eighth Route Army. We must take it seriously and never underestimate the enemy. We must strive to destroy their fortifications and manpower on the first day of the attack!"

With the annihilation of the Aoi Cavalry Battalion, Qingquan Masao finally took Su Zheng's independent battalion seriously.

Ten minutes later, the large forces of the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army arrived at Xiaoli Village, and immediately saw a big word "Death" written on the ground with corpses!

dead!

Big dead son!

Or use the devil's corpse!

This is not just an insult to the Japanese.

It was more of a stern warning to the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army: if they continued to attack the independent battalion's defense zone, they would be dead!

“Bakayarro!” Seeing the word “death” written on the ground, Qingquan Masao was furious and roared, “This is outrageous! How dare you insult our dignified Imperial Army like this!”

"Don't be complacent just because you've won a small victory, Su Zheng. I want you to know how powerful our Imperial Army is!"

Angry!

Masao Kiyozumi was completely furious!

Although he had realized the strength of Su Zheng's Independent Battalion, he did not think that the Eighth Route Army Independent Battalion was invincible.

In Qingquan Masao's opinion, the independent battalion does have some strength and combat effectiveness.

Therefore, it is not so easy to annihilate this force. It requires certain casualties and time, that's all.

After all, this time the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army were dispatched, and they also had advanced weapons and equipment such as airplanes, tanks, armored vehicles, cannons, etc., so they would definitely be able to annihilate the independent battalion in the end.

At this time, Qingquan Masao had already made up his mind that once he broke into the Shinnakamura base, he would definitely attack the village to commemorate the imperial warriors who died in the battle!

Lu Shitang said nothing, looking at the big human-shaped word "death" on the ground. For some reason, he felt it was extremely creepy!

In Lu Shitang's opinion, even if the independent battalion could be annihilated this time, it would probably cost a considerable price and result in casualties.

But now the arrow is on the string and has to be shot.

It is impossible to abandon the offensive, encirclement and mopping-up operation just because the Aoi Cavalry Battalion was destroyed. That is impossible.

The troops continued to advance.

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

Luoding Town.

Headquarters of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

Chu Yunfei naturally received relevant intelligence about the military operations of such large-scale forces as the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army.

However, at the beginning, Chu Yunfei didn't know the purpose of such a large-scale deployment of the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army.

· ···Request flowers··· 0

Today they finally figured it out.

Fang Ligong hurried in, came to Chu Yunfei and said: "Commander, the combat objectives of the Japanese 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army have been clarified."

"It turns out that the Japanese army is making such a big fuss because their target is the Independent Battalion of the New 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army!"

"What?" Chu Yunfei was stunned. He looked at Fang Ligong in disbelief and said, "This... the Japanese sent out more than 10,000 troops just to deal with Su Zheng's independent battalion?"

"This little Japanese really values ​​the independent battalion... Or did Shinozuka Yoshio realize the threat of Su Zheng's independent battalion, so he mobilized so many troops to encircle and suppress a battalion-level combat unit!"

The Japanese and puppet troops dispatched tens of thousands of people to encircle and suppress a battalion... This had never been done since the outbreak of the War of Resistance.

This is considered to be a record breaking achievement.

Fang Ligong nodded and said, "Yes...Su Zheng's independent battalion is developing too fast, it is well-equipped and has strong combat effectiveness!"

"Not long ago, they successfully wiped out the 4th Brigade in an organized manner. Shinozuka Yoshio will definitely take revenge on the Independent Battalion!"

"If we can't completely wipe out the independent battalion, then Shinozuka Yoshio will lose face."

....... 0 0

"That's why Shinozuka Yoshio arranged for the Ninth Brigade and the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army to send more than 10,000 troops to attack Shinnakamura this time!"

"I think the independent camp is in great danger this time!"

"After all, although the independent battalion is strong and well-equipped, its number of members is still relatively small!"

"At the same time, according to intelligence, the Japanese army has deployed a large number of tanks, armored vehicles and heavy artillery this time. It can be said that they have invested a lot of money to wipe out the independent battalion!"

"Moreover, the Japanese army may also send out aviation units to assist in the attack. I'm afraid the independent battalion will not be able to escape this time."

Chu Yunfei's face was also very solemn, and he said: "Alas... What a pity... We finally have an anti-Japanese army that the Japanese devils are afraid of, but now it has to suffer a catastrophic disaster. It's such a pity!"

Obviously, Chu Yunfei also believed that the independent battalion could not defeat the tens of thousands of well-equipped Japanese and puppet troops.

But if he knew that the independent battalion now had more than 5,000 people, a total of ten battalions, he might change his mind.

"How about our 358th Regiment provide the Independent Battalion with whatever help we can!"

Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment is the closest unit to the Xinzhongcun base.

If he is willing to send troops, he can indeed provide some assistance.

Fang Ligong: "No... The Second War Zone Headquarters has repeatedly ordered our army not to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army in combat, otherwise we will be severely punished!"

"Commander, I know you have a good personal relationship with the independent battalion commander Su Zheng, but we are still two different camps. We have to obey the orders of our superiors. If the Second War Zone's headquarters investigates us, neither you nor I can bear the consequences!"

Chu Yunfei sighed slightly and said, "I know this...but it makes me sad to see the independent battalion about to be annihilated!"

Since the last time the Second War Zone Headquarters arranged a senior officers exchange group to come to the Eighth Route Army for exchanges and learning.

They have realized that the Eighth Route Army is gradually becoming stronger.

Therefore, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was repeatedly ordered not to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army in combat.

The purpose is also very clear, which is to prevent the Eighth Route Army from becoming stronger.

Chu Yunfei also understood this.

But it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders.

Although Chu Yunfei did not want to see the independent battalion being annihilated, he did not dare to send troops.

Very helpless.

This situation is exactly the same as the previous battle of Cangyunling.

At this time, Sun Ming hurriedly walked in and said, "Commander, I have the latest battle report to report to you..."

Chapter 295: Exceeding the mission! Military achievements and spoils of war shocked the boss! (Second update, please subscribe)

Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was relatively close to the independent battalion, so he was also aware of the situation of the independent battalion.

According to Chu Yunfei's understanding, the independent battalion should currently have more than 2,000 troops.

A battalion of more than 2,000 people is already very impressive.

But they certainly could not withstand the encirclement and attack of the well-equipped and heavily-armed Japanese and puppet troops.

Now Chu Yunfei began to feel sorry for the Independent Battalion and Su Zheng.

From a personal perspective, Chu Yunfei certainly hopes that the independent battalion will be annihilated. After all, it is a very important force in the anti-Japanese war.

But from the perspective of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army camp, Chu Yunfei could only do nothing to help.

Sun Ming brought the latest battle situation and intelligence, which made Chu Yunfei change his view of the independent battalion.

Chu Yunfei looked at Sun Ming and asked, "What's the battle situation?"

Sun Ming: "At present, we have obtained two important intelligence and information!"

"First, just this morning, the cavalry company of the independent battalion successfully sniped the vanguard cavalry unit of the Japanese 9th Brigade in Xiaoli Village, and almost wiped out an entire cavalry battalion, achieving a victory in the first battle!"

Hearing this, Chu Yunfei said excitedly: "Well done... Well done, a cavalry company successfully killed a cavalry brigade... Well done!"

Fang Ligong was also shocked: "This... This group of Japanese and puppet troops lost a cavalry battalion before they even reached the independent battalion's defense zone? This is unbelievable!"
