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

Kong Jie: "Destroyed them all? Damn it... Even if we have to destroy everything we have, we can't let the Japanese pass through our defense zone!"

"Now these little Japanese soldiers are moving towards Ping'an County like crazy, which means that Ping'an County is in danger, so we can't let even a single Japanese soldier pass through our defense zone."

"As for when our family assets are exhausted, we can ask Li Yunlong for reimbursement!"

"If Li Yunlong doesn't have the ability to reimburse us, then we can go find Su Zheng. Su Zheng's independent battalion is rich anyway. If we can capture Ping'an County, we will make even more money."

"It is reasonable to ask them for some military funds to send troops."

Kong Jie and Ding Wei thought the same thing on this point.

After all, they suffered a lot of casualties, ammunition consumption, weapons damage, etc. while blocking the Japanese and puppet troops.

Of course, Kong Jie and Ding Wei were the same, they didn’t really go there for reimbursement.

Regardless of whether Li Yunlong and Su Zhengbang help them reimburse or not, the Independent Regiment and the New Third Regiment will take action.

It was impossible to just watch the Japanese reinforce Ping'an County and put the New 1st Regiment in danger.

The regiment's staff officer nodded and said, "Hehehe, Commander, what you said really makes sense!"

"But our independent regiment has also suffered heavy casualties. The Japanese have already launched several group assaults on our positions with fierce firepower!"

Kong Jie pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's make use of the combat advantages of our Eighth Route Army and use guerrilla tactics, mine tactics and other methods!"

"In short, we want to delay the enemy, not to destroy them!"

"As long as the war in Ping'an County is not over, we can't let a single Japanese soldier go!"

The regiment's staff officer said loudly, "Yes, I understand."

Afterwards, the independent regiment adjusted its tactics and adopted harassment tactics to delay the main force of the Japanese devils.

In short, there is only one principle, which is to delay the enemy's reinforcements and buy time for the New 1st Regiment to capture Ping'an County.

bang bang bang...

clap clap clap...

Boom boom boom...

There was constant sound of gunfire in the independent regiment's defense zone, and the fighting was very fierce.

The attitude is very clear, which is to support the battle in Ping'an County at all costs.

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

Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

The headquarters sent another telegram to the headquarters of the New 1st Regiment, but found that they could not contact the headquarters of the New 1st Regiment after several attempts, so the independent battalion sent a telegram instead.

Soon, the independent battalion sent a telegram back.

Headquarters Staff.

The general, deputy chief of staff, operations staff, military advisers, etc. are studying the chaotic situation in northwestern Shanxi.

As time went by, the entire northwest of Shanxi became one.

There were wars everywhere, and it was like a big melee.

More and more troops, including the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, the Central Army, the Eighth Route Army, etc., participated in this battle.

Very intense.

The general and the deputy chief of staff did not know what had happened exactly, but they guessed that Li Yunlong's New 1st Regiment was attacking Ping'an County.

At this moment, the communications soldier walked in quickly, saluted and said, "Report, the independent battalion sent a reply..."

PS: Please subscribe to 1, thanks for your support.

Chapter 428 The boss was shocked. Su Zheng, are you going to become the boss of the Eighth Route Army? (First update, please subscribe)

The New 1st Regiment headquarters did not reply to the telegram.

Now the independent battalion has replied to the telegram.

This immediately attracted the attention of the general manager and the deputy chief of staff.

The boss asked quickly, "What did the telegram say? Is their New 1st Regiment attacking Ping'an County?"

Communications soldier: "The independent battalion will send a telegram saying that their new regiment is indeed fighting in Ping'an County."

The boss cursed and said, "It was indeed Li Yunlong who caused this trouble. He is really brave and is really attacking Ping'an County."

The deputy chief of staff grinned and said, "The New 1st Regiment has a strong combat unit like the Independent Battalion. What can't Li Yunlong do?"

"But under normal circumstances, Li Yunlong wouldn't attack Ping'an County for no reason."

"The three-month deadline is only a few days away. Why are you suddenly attacking Ping'an County now?"

"Ping'an County is a large county with strong defenses and a large number of garrison troops. If the New 1st Regiment attacks Ping'an County, there will inevitably be heavy casualties. This may result in Li Yunlong being unable to complete the mission of the military order!"

The boss slowly said, "Old Zuo... The New 1st Regiment has an ace unit like the Independent Battalion."

"The independent battalion is strong, the "August 10th" is strong, well-equipped, and has a large number of artillery pieces. If the New 1st Regiment really attacks Ping'an County, then it won't be easy to capture it, right?"

The deputy chief of staff nodded, then looked at the signalman and said, "By the way...did the telegram from the independent battalion mention why the New 1st Regiment wanted to attack Ping'an County?"

Communicator soldier: "Yes...according to the contents of the telegram."

"The main reason is that the headquarters of the New 1st Regiment stationed in Zhaojiayu was ambushed by the enemy's special forces, resulting in heavy losses. The New 1st Regiment commander Zhao Gang and Zhao Zhengwei were seriously injured, and more than 300 villagers in Zhaojiayu were brutally killed by the Japanese. Li Yunlong wanted to take revenge, so he assembled all the troops of the New 1st Regiment to attack Ping'an County!"

"The independent battalion of the new regiment currently in charge of attacking Ping'an County."

Hearing this, the general and the deputy chief of staff finally understood why Li Yunlong suddenly wanted to attack Ping'an County.

It turned out to be for revenge!

This is very consistent with Li Yunlong's character.

How could the enraged Li Yunlong care about so many things?

Just do it and it's done.

The boss said with his hands behind his back, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "This Li Yunlong has really grown in ability. He wants to attack Ping'an County directly for revenge!"

The deputy chief of staff smiled and said, "Yes... Li Yunlong is a man of blood. Now that he has Su Zheng's independent battalion, he is even more unscrupulous."

"Now Su Zheng's independent battalion has the guts to attack Ping'an County, especially such an important county. They are really brave and skilled."

The boss also laughed and said, "Hahaha, Lao Zuo...you haven't been to the Xinzhong Village base of the Independent Battalion. If you went to their base and took a look around, you would know that the Independent Battalion has the ability to attack Ping'an County."

"Although the independent battalion suffered heavy losses in the Xinzhong Village defense battle, it has been nearly two months, and a conservative estimate is that there are several thousand soldiers left!"

"That is to say, although the independent battalion still has the number of a battalion, its actual strength is probably that of a brigade."

"Plus, their independent battalion is well-equipped, has strong combat effectiveness, and has artillery of various calibers. It is not difficult to capture Ping'an County."

Apparently, the boss didn’t know that the independent battalion’s frontline combat strength already numbered over 13,000, and the total number had exceeded 20,000.

After all, the boss has a lot of things to do and can't always keep an eye on the independent camp, so it is currently unknown how many people are there in the independent camp.

The deputy chief of staff smiled and said, "Yes... Su Zheng's attack doesn't matter. The anti-Japanese forces in the entire northwest of Shanxi and even the entire Second War Zone have been mobilized by him."

"The entire northwest of Shanxi is in chaos now, with wars everywhere!"

"Su Zheng is really amazing. Every attack on Ping'an County will turn into a major battle in the Second War Zone."

The boss was in a good mood and smiled, "Even a boss like me has been mobilized by him... I have been kept in the dark all along, hahahaha!"

"With the combat effectiveness of the independent battalion, it won't take long to capture Ping'an County. The battle can be over in the next two days."

Indeed, if the Second Division had not appeared, Su Zheng's independent battalion could have captured Ping'an County within three days.

But now something unexpected has happened.

The communicator soldier next to him kept trying to interrupt and say something, but the boss and the deputy chief of staff didn't give him a chance.

So it’s not that the communication soldier doesn’t want to talk in one breath.

Now that he had finally found an opportunity, the communicator quickly said, "Boss, according to the contents of the telegram from the independent battalion."

"In addition to the original 3,000-plus garrison troops in Ping'an County, the Kwantung Army's Second Division suddenly appeared."

"Currently, the Second Division of the Kwantung Army is still in Ping'an County, and the Independent Battalion is dealing with the Second Division!"

The 2nd Division of the Kwantung Army?

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the general and the deputy chief of staff changed instantly and became very solemn.

This... the Second Division of the Kwantung Army appeared in Ping'an County?

Although the Eighth Route Army had not yet fought against the Second Division of the Kwantung Army.

The headquarters does not have much information about the Second Division.

But since the Second Division's division number is so low and it is also the Kwantung Army, it means that the Second Division must be the elite among the elite.

The smile on the boss's face disappeared, and his eyes fell on the location of Ping'an County on the battle situation map. He said with a serious face: "Why did the Second Division of the Kwantung Army appear in Ping'an County?"

"If the Second Division of the Kwantung Army was in Ping'an County, this battle would be difficult to fight!"

The deputy chief of staff nodded and said, "Yes, according to the number and origin of the Second Division, this Second Division should be the elite Type A division of the Japanese Army, and it is also one of the 17 standing divisions before the war."

"Oh...right...I remember now, the Second Division and the Sixth Division are known as the most elite combat divisions of the Japanese Army."

The Eighth Route Army did not know much about the Second Division, but had some understanding of the Sixth Division.

The Sixth Division was a Type A division of the Japanese devils and one of the 17 standing divisions before the outbreak of the war. It was well-equipped and had a very brutal and fierce fighting style. It committed numerous crimes in China.

It is worth mentioning that the Sixth Division also participated in the Battle of Xuzhou, the Battle of Wuhan, the Battle of Hunan and Jiangxi, and other large-scale battles. ...

The Sixth Division is a strategic unit with five arms: infantry, cavalry, artillery, and engineering. It has a large number of troops, excellent equipment, and strong independent combat capabilities.

It can be said that the Sixth Division was originally established to deal with **.

Because the Sixth Division participated in more battles, the Eighth Route Army had more information about the Sixth Division.

Since the Second Division is known to be an elite combat unit as powerful as the Sixth Division, its strength should not be underestimated.

Or rather, it is very powerful.

The Fifth Division of the Itagaki Division, known as the Steel Army, is, to some extent, inferior in overall combat effectiveness to the Second and Sixth Divisions.

At that time, Itagaki Seishirō's Fifth Division was enough to sweep across Shanxi Province with just half a division.

With this comparison, we can see how terrifying the combat effectiveness of the Second Division is.

Although the current Second Division is not as strong as it was in its peak period due to various reasons, its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

Hearing this, the boss's face became more serious, and he said, "So... the battle for Ping'an County is no longer a simple offensive. It is a huge challenge for the independent battalion!"

"After all, the Second Division has now appeared in Ping'an County. It will be difficult to capture Ping'an County!"

The deputy chief of staff nodded and said, "Yes...but how did the Second Division of the Kwantung Army suddenly appear in Ping'an County?"

"Shouldn't the Kwantung Army be in the Northeast? Why are they here in Northwest Shanxi to join in the fun?"

The boss said: "This Second Division is definitely not coming to Northwest Shanxi to watch a show or celebrate a birthday. The appearance of a fully-formed Second Division in Northwest Shanxi is definitely not a good thing!"

Upon learning that the Second Division had arrived, the general and the deputy chief of staff were under tremendous pressure.

After all, facing the powerful Second Division, there are simply not many troops that can resist.

If the Second Division launched an attack on the base or the Eighth Route Army, it would be a huge blow and impact on the Eighth Route Army.

Even the Central Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, even if 3.0 is the direct force of the Central Army, cannot be the opponent of the Second Division.

The deputy chief of staff looked at the battle situation map and said solemnly, "Let's not worry about why the Second Division appeared in Ping'an County for now. The problem now is the battle of Ping'an County!"

"The Independent Battalion versus the Second Division... This is our Eighth Route Army's ace troops versus the Japanese's ace troops. This battle is crucial. It's hard to say who will win or lose."

Boss: “Um…yeah, I think so too.”

"The enemy the independent battalion is facing this time is stronger than ever before. The outcome is unpredictable."

The Deputy Chief of General Staff and the general were both worried about Su Zheng's independent battalion.

At this time, the communicator soldier who had been looking for an opportunity to interrupt quickly said: "Boss, there is another important message in the telegram from the independent battalion."

"That is, the independent battalion has already captured the first line of defense of the Second Division outside the city of Ping'an County. It is expected that the second line of defense of the Second Division can be captured within two days and continue to advance!"
