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

Once again, these words were beyond everyone's expectations.

After all, this first line of defense was just held after a fierce battle...why are they suddenly giving up now?

Zhou Weiguo looked at Su Zheng: "Captain, I don't understand... why did you abandon the first line of defense that we managed to hold with great difficulty?"

Su Zheng looked at Zhou Weiguo and said, "Don't worry, listen to me and tell me my plan."

"My plan is very simple. The purpose of abandoning the first line of defense and retreating to the second line of defense is to lure the enemy deeper!"

"As long as we abandon the first line of defense, the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops will definitely occupy this defense position. At that time, we can hit the first line of defense with our artillery fire!"

"At the same time, we can go around the first line of defense through the tunnel and outflanking them to annihilate the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops!"

Su Zheng’s plan was very simple. He deliberately abandoned the first line of defense and allowed the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops to enter the encirclement and bombardment circle.

When Su was building the tunnel, he had a trick up his sleeve.

That is, the exit of a tunnel was dug about two hundred meters away from the first line of defense.

Leaving this exit behind is to prevent the first line of defense from being occupied by the enemy. The enemy can then use this tunnel to bypass the first line of defense and launch a surprise attack to retake the position.

Now Su Zheng wants to make use of this tunnel entrance.

The boss was stunned, looked at Su Zheng and said, "Su Zheng, do you still have an underground entrance in front of this first line of defense?"

Su Zheng smiled and said, "Right, a cunning rabbit has three burrows... In order to ensure the safety of our base, we have made many defense plans!"

It has to be said that Su Zheng has a strategic vision and long-term plans.

Not the kind of person who would do anything for petty gains.

After a pause, Su Zheng looked at everyone present and said, "This time, each company and unit of our independent battalion suffered heavy losses!"

"So my plan is this: the artillery company will be responsible for bombing the Japanese and puppet troops that enter the first line of defense!"

"The first company, the second company, the elite company, the third company, the cavalry company, the independent battalion, the Sichuan Army company, the Dragon Soul Special Forces, the battalion headquarters' direct troops, the special forces company... This time the entire company is dispatched!"

"Among them, the First Company, the Second Company, the Cavalry Company, the Independent Battalion, and the Sichuan Army Company are responsible for the attack on the front battlefield!"

"The elite company, the third company and the troops directly under the battalion headquarters are the Japanese and puppet troops who followed me to surround the first defense position!"

"Dragon Soul Special Forces, your mission is to coordinate with the reconnaissance company and the ghost team to launch an attack on the 9th Brigade, the 4th Brigade and the temporary command center!"

"The time of the operation will be further determined later. This anti-encirclement and annihilation military operation will be carried out at night because we are good at night combat!"

"any questions?"

Everyone present responded loudly: "No problem."

In this encirclement and annihilation of Yamamoto's special forces, the Dragon Soul Special Forces suffered more than half of their casualties and lost 18 Dragon Soul members.

Now there are only 15 combat-capable members left in the Dragon Soul Special Forces, and two members are injured and temporarily lose their combat effectiveness.

Su Zheng arranged Duan Peng's reconnaissance company and Xu Yihang's ghost team to operate in the rear area. It was not as simple as reconnaissance intelligence, sniping, assassination and psychological warfare.

All of that was in preparation for the final counter-encirclement and annihilation.

When the independent battalion abandoned the first line of defense, the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops would definitely enter the defense position.

However, the headquarters of the 9th Brigade and the 4th Brigade will definitely conduct long-distance command in Pingzipo.

Therefore, Su Zheng had to arrange the Dragon Soul Special Forces, the Ghost Group and the Reconnaissance Company to surround the headquarters of the 9th Brigade and the 4th Brigade and wipe out all the Japanese and puppet army officers in the headquarters.

Since we want to annihilate the 9th Brigade and the 4th Brigade, we can't let any of them escape!

Su Zheng had already made a thorough and detailed plan.

This is strategic vision and foresight.

The boss next to him nodded slightly, appreciating Su Zheng's strategic vision and ability.

It is rare to have both courage and strategy.

This will definitely be a great general!

Su Zheng looked at everyone present and said, "Okay, the entire action plan is set."

"Start to withdraw from the defensive line of the position one after another now. Before withdrawing, blow up all the tunnel exits of the position to avoid being discovered by the Japanese!"

"Yes!"

Everyone present responded loudly. ...

Afterwards, the independent battalion began to retreat from the first line of defense according to Su Zheng's plan.

This is to lure the enemy deeper!

The Japanese forward observer naturally observed the retreat of the independent battalion and immediately reported it to Yamato Yamashita.

At this time, Yamato Yamashita was organizing troops and preparing to launch the final offensive.

Yamato Yamashita immediately came to the front observation post and observed the retreating independent battalion through a telescope. He was a little confused and asked, "Why... why is this independent battalion retreating?"

The commander-in-chief of the final offensive of the 9th Brigade and the 4th Brigade was Yamato Yamashita, and the deputy commander-in-chief was Mai Jianbo.

The head of the 18th Regiment, Mai Jianbo, observed for a moment and said, "Captain, did you see that... this time the independent battalion retreated with a lot of wounded soldiers, which means they also suffered heavy casualties!"

"I think the reason they withdrew from the first line of defense may be that they suffered heavy casualties and did not have enough troops to defend the first line of defense, so they were forced to withdraw to the second line of defense and reduce the defense line of the defensive position!"

The first line of defense in Xinzhongcun is longer and more complex than the second line of defense.

If the defensive position is large and complex, more soldiers will be needed to be responsible for each combat position to ensure that the enemy can be effectively blocked no matter which direction the attack comes from.

If the casualties in the battle are serious and we cannot control the entire defensive position and ensure that there are people in every combat position... this will be extremely dangerous and easy for the enemy to break through.

This is also one of the reasons why Su Zheng chose to evacuate the first line of defense.

Therefore, Mai Jianbo's analysis makes sense.

Yamato Yamashita pondered Mai Jianbo's analysis, looked at the situation of the independent battalion's retreat in front, nodded and said, "Captain Mai, what you said makes sense!"

"How about this...we'll send two tanks to check the situation and see if there's a trick!"

In the first round of offensive, the Japanese and puppet troops lost 3.0 tanks and armored vehicles.

However, there are still two small tanks left in the 9th Brigade and the 4th Brigade.

The reason why these two tanks were left behind was that Masao Kiyozumi kept them for his escape.

Masao Kiyozumi left a fallback plan, which was to escape in a Toy Tank if he was forced to evacuate.

Now that the final offensive has been launched, Yamato Yamashita borrowed the last two mini tanks.

Following an order from Yamato Yamashita, a small team, under the cover of two small tanks, began to approach the first line of defense.

close!

The distance is getting closer!

Finally, this group of Japanese soldiers successfully entered the independent battalion's first line of defense and was sure it was safe.

After confirming that the independent battalion had completely evacuated, Yamashita Yamashita and Mai Jianbo immediately led the main force of more than 2,000 people to re-attack and completely occupied the first line of defense.

Afterwards, the victory report of the 101nd Regiment and the st Regiment occupying the first line of defense of the independent battalion was quickly transmitted back to the temporary headquarters of the th Brigade and the th Brigade...

Pingzipo.

Temporary headquarters of the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade.

The adjutant hurriedly walked up to Qingquan Masao, Koizumi Taro, Lu Shitang and others, and said, "Report, the 22nd Regiment just sent the latest battle report. Our army has completely occupied the first line of defense of the independent battalion!"

what?

When these words were spoken, Kiyozumi Masao, Koizumi Taro and Lu Shitang were all surprised, their eyes full of disbelief.

The first line of defense of the independent battalion, which had been fighting for more than four days, was captured just like that?

We have deployed tanks, armored vehicles, fighter planes and artillery before, but there has been no progress.

How come this attack went so smoothly?

And there was no sound of gunfire?

This is unreasonable!

Qingquan Masao looked at the adjutant and asked, "What's going on? Why are there no gunshots or sounds of fighting?"

Adjutant: "According to the report of the 22nd Regiment, the independent battalion suffered heavy losses and heavy casualties under the charge of our suicide squad."

"Therefore, the independent battalion was unable to control the complex and large-scale first line of defense and was forced to retreat."

"At present, our army has completely taken control of the first line of defense. There is no problem at all!"

Hearing this, Qingquan Masao nodded slightly.

This is the first good news in four days.

After suffering more than ten thousand casualties, there was finally some progress.

Masao Kiyozumi looked at Taro Koizumi and asked, "Koizumi-kun, what do you think about this?"

Taro Koizumi thought for a moment and then said, "Commander, since the independent battalion was forced to withdraw from the first line of defense due to heavy losses, it means that its losses must have been very heavy! 13"

"The second line of defense in Xinzhong Village cannot compare to the first line of defense in terms of scale or fortifications!"

"So I think we still have a chance of winning this battle...even if it's a pyrrhic victory!"

Lu Shitang nodded and said, "Based on the current situation, the independent battalion is really at the end of its rope. Maybe we really have a chance to annihilate them!"

"We have suffered so many casualties. If we can finally wipe out the independent battalion and get rid of this major threat, it will be a good thing!"

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

"Since we have already taken control of the first line of defense, it probably won't take long to break through the second line of defense. The casualties of the independent battalion must be heavy!"

"Pass on my order. Order the 18nd Regiment and the th Regiment to completely control the first line of defense and prepare for our attack on the independent battalion's second line of defense!"

"At the same time, in order to avoid a counterattack from the cunning independent battalion, all troops must be on high alert at their positions and be prepared!"

The first line of defense that we have finally captured must be defended well.

"Hayi!"

The order was delivered quickly.

The Japanese and puppet troops of the 18nd Regiment and the th Regiment, with a force of more than people, completely took control of the first line of defense.

They did not discover the underground bunker entrance to the trench position.

That’s because all the entrances were blown up and collapsed, so the Japanese would definitely not find them.

In Masao Kiyozumi's view, as long as they break through the second line of defense of Shinnakamura again, they can march straight into Shinnakamura.

At that time, a sweeping sweep of Shin-Nakamura would definitely be carried out.

Qingquan Masao, Lu Shitang and others seemed to see the hope of victory.

victory is in sight.

But they didn't know that they had fallen into the trap of the Independence Camp.

The main reason was that senior Japanese and puppet army officers such as Kiyozumi Masao, Riku Shido, Koizumi Taro, and Yamashita Yamato did not expect that the independent battalion would launch a charge to counter the encirclement and annihilation.

You don't play by the rules at all!

into the night.

The entire Xinzhong Village seems very peaceful and quiet.

The next day, it was around four in the morning.

In the tunnel outside Xinzhong Village, Su Zheng led the soldiers of the Dragon Soul Special Forces, the Third Company, the Elite Company and the battalion headquarters' direct troops to move quickly through the tunnel.

The goal is to bypass the rear of the first line of defense and carry out a counter-encirclement and outflanking operation.

Night falls.

The weather tonight is not very good, the moonlight is dim and there are many dark clouds.
