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

Quite awesome.

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

The defense battle of the Xinzhongcun base was over.

The soldiers of the independent battalion and the common people were all very happy and excited.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Taiyuan.

First Army Headquarters.

Yoshio Shinozuka and Shun Miyano are playing Go.

The death of Yamamoto Ikki.

Yamamoto's special forces were completely wiped out.

The attacks of the 4th Mixed Brigade and the 9th Brigade were not successful.

The tank armoured corps was almost destroyed.

More than 12,000 combat troops suffered casualties and heavy losses.

The Sixth Air Force lost a total of 10 fighter planes.

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

Such a series of bad news and battle reports made Yoshio Shinozuka and Miyano Shun feel very bad.

The mood of both of them was extremely low.

I have no interest in playing chess at all.

Yoshio Shinozuka raised the white piece in his hand and kept it in the air for a long time, not knowing how to place it.

Yoshio Shinozuka and Toshi Miyano were both very concerned about the Battle of Shin-Nakamura.

It was already noon.

They didn't know that the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade had been wiped out by the Independent Battalion.

After all, the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade were almost wiped out, so the transmission of relevant battle reports and intelligence would naturally lag behind.

The candidate is undecided!

After a long while, Yoshio Shinozuka finally dropped the white piece in his hand.

despair......

The whole chess room was very quiet.

The sounds of each move being dropped were very clear.

After making his move, Shinozuka Yoshio looked at Miyano Shun and said, "Miyano-kun, what do you think about the battle of Shin-Nakamura?"

"Ah..." Miyano Shun sighed softly and said, "General Shinozuka, to be honest... the strength of the independent battalion is beyond my expectations!"

"This time we deployed tanks, armored vehicles, fighter planes, artillery, and more than 12,000 combat troops... Even if we encounter a combat force of an army of the Central Army, we can definitely win."

"But...ah...encountering the Independence Battalion and encountering such a result...is really unbelievable."

Miyano Shun's two sighs...how much helplessness and indescribable shock they contained.

After all, such a result was beyond the expectations of Yoshio Shinozuka and Toshi Miyano.

Yes...the combat effectiveness of the independent battalion was beyond the expectations of Yoshio Shinozuka and Toshi Miyano.

On combat strength.

At first, Yoshio Shinozuka and Toshi Miyano thought that the independent battalion had only more than 2,000 people, and that it would be no problem to wipe out the independent battalion by dispatching a well-equipped force of more than 10,000 people.

Later, Masao Kiyozumi reported that the independent battalion was conservatively estimated to have more than 4,000 people.

Although Yoshio Shinozuka and Toshi Miyano were shocked when they learned the result717.

But on second thought, the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade, with more than 10,000 troops, are obviously more than the independent battalion!

In other words, in terms of manpower, the Japanese and puppet troops had the advantage.

On equipment.

Yoshio Shinozuka also felt that the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade had the advantage.

After all, the artillery regiment, tank armored unit, and aviation combat unit dispatched this time... these are equipment that the independent battalion lacks or does not have.

Such sophisticated equipment is a complete crushing force.

On combat effectiveness.

Yoshio Shinozuka and Toshi Miyano felt that the combat effectiveness of the 4th Mixed Brigade might be a little weak, but the combat effectiveness of the 9th Brigade was very strong.

After all, the 9th Brigade is the head unit of the Type B division.

Therefore, in the view of Yoshio Shinozuka and Toshi Miyano, the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade have advantages in terms of manpower, weapons and equipment, combat effectiveness, etc.

The main advantages of the independent battalion are fighting on home ground and strong fortifications.

Playing at home means not having to worry about logistical issues.

After all, the Xinzhongcun base is behind us.

Logistical issues can be guaranteed.

As for the strong fortifications... that's not surprising.

After all, the Xinzhongcun base is the territory of the independent battalion, and it is natural that such advantages will exist if solid fortifications are built to resist raids.

The First Army Staff, Yoshio Shinozuka, Toshi Miyano and others conducted many simulations and analyses, and concluded that they could wipe out the independent battalion and sweep Shinnakamura at the cost of certain casualties and costs.

However... after five days of fighting, this was indeed the result: the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade suffered over 10,000 casualties... the armored forces were almost completely destroyed... and the aviation forces suffered heavy losses.

Such a battle result was far beyond everyone's expectations, and made Yoshio Shinozuka and Miyano Shun very surprised and shocked.

However, what they didn't know at this time was that the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade were completely wiped out by the Independent Battalion this morning...

Chapter 317: The results shocked Shinozuka Yoshio! The Japanese mainland and the emperor were shocked (first update, please subscribe)

Yoshio Shinozuka and Toshi Miyano never expected that even the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army were unable to tackle the tough challenge of the Independent Battalion.

It is no exaggeration to say that the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army would have a chance of winning even if they were facing the combat strength of an army of the Central Army or the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

Especially with so many tanks, armored vehicles, cannons and other weapons, it will definitely be invincible.

However, they did not expect to encounter Su Zheng's independent battalion, which resulted in more than 10,000 casualties, a heavy loss.

Shinozuka Yoshio forgot about Miyano Shun and said slowly: "Yes... We need to re-evaluate the real combat capability of the independent battalion."

"We have suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and we have only broken through their first line of defense!"

Now Yoshio Shinozuka and Toshi Miyano have learned the latest situation of the Shin-Nakamura Battle. The 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army successfully captured the first line of defense of the Japanese independent battalion last night.

Miyano Shun: "According to General Qingquan's report, under the crazy attack of our Imperial Army, the independent battalion has suffered heavy casualties. I estimate that we will receive a victory report from General Qingquan soon!"

"It's just...it's just that the price we paid was a bit high!"

Shinozuka Yoshio sighed slightly and said, "I hope so... Miyano Shun, to be honest, I have been a little uneasy these past two days. I always feel like something is going to happen!"

Miyano Shun looked at Shinozuka Yoshio and said, "General, perhaps you are too concerned about the battle of Shin-Nakamura?"

"To be honest... the combat effectiveness of the independent battalion really exceeded our expectations. I originally thought that the battle could be over in three days, but I didn't expect that it was still going on for five days!"

"But under the powerful attack of our Imperial Army, the Independent Battalion is already at the end of its strength."

"I think today... or tomorrow at the latest... General Qingquan will be able to take down the Independent Battalion in one fell swoop!"

Shinozuka Yoshio said in a heavy tone: "Miyano-kun... you also know that this time in order to destroy the independent battalion, we dispatched more than 20,000 troops!"

"If we are unable to completely wipe out the independent battalion and kill Su Zheng despite having so many troops and such advanced and sophisticated equipment, the battle of Xinzhong Village will become a shame that our First Army will never be able to wash away!"

In this attack on the Xinzhongcun base, the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army were the main attacking forces.

However, the Japanese and puppet troops in the towns near the independent battalion's defense zone played a synergistic role.

Their combat mission was to block the Eighth Route Army's reinforcements to the Independent Battalion and Xinzhong Village.

As a result, tens of thousands of Japanese and puppet troops participated in this battle.

That's why Yoshio Shinozuka said that in order to annihilate the Eighth Route Army's Independent Battalion, more than 20,000 combat troops were dispatched.

This scale is indeed not small.

It's no less than a major battle.

Miyano Shun's expression was also very solemn, but he still said: "Although the Independent Battalion is a tough nut to crack...but I believe that under the powerful attack of our Imperial Army, the Independent Battalion will definitely be wiped out!"

"General Shinozuka, I think you should still have confidence in our Imperial Army!"

confidence?

Originally, Yoshio Shinozuka was also very confident.

At the beginning, they didn't take Su Zheng's independent battalion seriously at all.

After the Battle of Lijiaopo, Yoshio Shinozuka began to realize the threat posed by Su Zheng's Independent Battalion.

After the 4th Brigade and the Japanese Battlefield Observation Group were destroyed, Yoshio Shinozuka finally realized the threat posed by the Su Zheng Independent Battalion.

That’s why so many troops and equipment were organized to kill the independent battalion.

But now it seems that the effect is not ideal.

Shinozuka Yoshio looked at Miyano Shun and said, "Miyano-kun, it's not that I don't have information about our Imperial Army, it's just that the Independent Battalion of the Eighth Route Army has refreshed our knowledge time and time again!"

"I still don't know if the Independence Battalion still has hidden strength."

"Miyano-kun... do you think that when we had absolute air superiority, the air strike by the aviation force that time would have caused such losses?"

"But when we encountered the Independent Battalion...our proud aviation force suffered a severe setback!"

"The first time we raided Xinzhong Village, we lost six fighter planes!"

"The second time, our Sixth Air Force dispatched 20 sorties of fighter planes, and in the end 10 of them were shot down!"

"All in all... we have lost sixteen fighter planes."

"Honestly speaking, even if we launch a massive bombing of the mountain city, we won't lose so many fighter planes!"

The independent battalion's machine gun air defense network caused great suffering to the Japanese air force!

A total of sixteen fighter planes were lost.

This was indeed a huge loss for the Japanese, and it even alarmed Commander-in-Chief Okamura.

After all, there was no loss of so many fighter planes in the bombing of the mountain city.

Since the Chairman moved the government to the mountain city, the mountain city's terrain barrier has blocked the crazy attacks of the Japanese.

The mountain city is surrounded by mountains on all sides and has complex terrain.

The Japanese ground forces were unable to attack, so they frantically bombed the mountain city.

The only remaining air force units were all deployed near the mountain city.

As long as there are Japanese air raids and bombings, the Air Force will take off to intercept and fight.

However, due to various reasons such as fighter performance and pilot skills, it was difficult for the Air Force to shoot down the Japanese fighter planes.

Therefore, when the Japanese sent out fighter planes to bomb the mountain city...they basically wouldn't lose many fighter planes.

But now bombing the independent battalion that has no air superiority would result in such heavy losses.

After a pause, Shinozuka Yoshio continued: "For example, our tank armored forces are basically rampant!"

"Whether facing the Kuomintang's central army cleansing troops or the local warlord troops, no one can stop the attack of our armored forces!"

"This time we attacked Xinzhong Village, sending out a total of 17 armored vehicles and tanks. We lost 15 tanks and armored vehicles on the first day... Can you believe it? Could it be that the independent battalion has special anti-tank weapons and equipment?"

"But no matter what the reason is, our tank and armored forces have suffered a severe setback. This is an indisputable fact!"

Miyano Shun was silent.
