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

To put it simply, people who carry pistols are generally military officers.

In addition, the Eighth Route Army soldiers would carry a bullet bag across their bodies, which was also a feature to distinguish whether they were officers.

Because the officers of the Eighth Route Army used pistols, they usually carried a pistol case and a belt around their waists.

The gun belt is only equipment owned by officers of the Eighth Route Army.

This becomes one of the distinguishing features.

If he is a senior officer of the Eighth Route Army, he will also have guards, binoculars and other conditions and equipment.

These are all characteristics that can be used to determine whether someone is an Eighth Route Army officer.

Kenkichi Ikegami was a very smart old Japanese soldier. By observing these characteristics and seeing many officers entering and leaving the garrison, he naturally knew that this garrison was not a simple Eighth Route Army garrison.

When Ito Erlang saw this scene, he smiled and said, "General, we are really going to make a fortune this time."

"I heard that the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army is located in the Taihang Mountains. Could it be that we have encountered the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army?"

"If this is true, then this is a glorious moment for our 9th Independent Mixed Brigade!"

Kenkichi Ikegami nodded, then took out the telescope again to observe the entire Eighth Route Army headquarters.

Now he has no way of confirming whether this is the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

But what is certain is that this Eighth Route Army base is definitely not simple.

The location of the Eighth Route Army headquarters was very exquisite. It was located halfway up a mountain, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

And it is backed by the Taihang Mountains.

If the Eighth Route Army headquarters was attacked, it could immediately retreat to the Taihang Mountains and disappear into the jungle.

Currently, there are two regiments responsible for security and protection at the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

There is also a regiment on the periphery, responsible for guarding the periphery.

At the same time, because the Eighth Route Army headquarters is located in the heart of the base area, there are several regiments on the periphery that are not guard regiments, but they can reinforce the Eighth Route Army headquarters at the first time.

So under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade to penetrate deep into the Eighth Route Army's territory without being discovered.

In particular, it is close to the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

The reason for this result is that the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade and Kenkichi Ikegami got lucky...

Chapter 530 The boss finally decided to move the headquarters to Su Zheng’s base (Second update, please subscribe)

After observing the topography of the Eighth Route Army headquarters through a telescope, Kenkichi Ikegami frowned and said, "These Eighth Route Army soldiers are really cunning!"

"The location they chose was very particular. The terrain is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack!"

"And if their base is attacked, they will most likely flee to the back mountains."

"It seems that it is not an easy task to completely wipe out the Eighth Route Army stationed here!"

"And there are about two regiments of troops on both sides of the Eighth Route Army's garrison. Unless we fight quickly, it will be difficult to wipe out all of these Eighth Route Army troops."

The total strength of the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade is nearly six thousand people.

The two guard regiments near the Eighth Route Army headquarters had a strength of about 4,000 people.

Although it is the main force regiment responsible for guarding the headquarters, its combat effectiveness is much stronger than other Eighth Route Army troops, and its equipment is also much better.

However, the combat effectiveness, equipment and number of these two regiments are inferior to those of the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade.

The 9th Independent Mixed Brigade is directly under the 1st Army and is the main combat force of the 1st Army.

Although the 9th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade is a Type B combat unit, its combat effectiveness is not weak.

If it comes to a head-on clash, the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade can easily wipe out the two main guard regiments of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

But what Kenji Ikegami has to consider now is...if he cannot capture the Eighth Route Army base in a short period of time, then the military control committee of the Eighth Route Army base will evacuate and flee into the Taihang Mountains.

This is the most difficult problem.

After observing the situation on the battlefield for a long time, Ikegami Kenkichi said to his adjutant Ito Nilang, "You stay here and observe. I'll go back and discuss the battle strategy!"

Ito Nilang: “Yes!”

Afterwards, Kenkichi Ikegami returned to the main force and gathered the captains of the four battalions.

The 38th Independent Mixed Brigade consists of four battalions, namely the 40th Independent Infantry Battalion, the 68th Independent Infantry Battalion, the 70th Independent Infantry Battalion and the th Independent Infantry Battalion, as well as a logistic unit.

Colonel Saburo Aono, commander of the 38th Independent Infantry Battalion, Lieutenant Colonel Katsumi Horiuchi, commander of the 40th Independent Infantry Battalion, Colonel Daiichi Koizumi, commander of the 68th Independent Infantry Battalion, Lieutenant Colonel Taro Ohba, commander of the 70th Independent Infantry Battalion, and Taro Inoue, commander of the supply corps, and many others came to Kenkichi Ikegami.

Ikegami Kenkichi looked at everyone present and said, "Everyone, this time we entered the Taihang Mountains and made an unexpected discovery!"

"We have discovered an Eighth Route Army base in the Taihang Mountains. Based on our observations of this base, it is of a very high level and has many officers. It is probably the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Now we are going to launch an attack on this Eighth Route Army base!"

"In order to kill the Eighth Route Army officers stationed at the Eighth Route Army headquarters with one strike, we now need to formulate a detailed combat action plan!"

After a pause, Ikegami Kenkichi looked at the signalman next to him and said, "Signalman, immediately send a telegram to General Shinozuka Yoshio in Taiyuan and tell them that we accidentally discovered an Eighth Route Army base in the Taihang Mountains."

"According to analysis, this is most likely the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. We request General Shinozuka Yoshio to cooperate with us in relevant military operations."

The signalman responded loudly: "Ha Yi!"

Afterwards, the signalman began to send telegrams to Yoshio Shinozuka at the First Army Headquarters.

Ikegami Kenkichi looked at everyone present and continued, "In order to completely wipe out this Eighth Route Army base, I now order the 38th Independent Infantry Battalion to go around to the rear of this Eighth Route Army base as quickly as possible and cut off their escape route to the Taihang Mountains."

"The 40th Independent Infantry Battalion is responsible for the frontal attack, and the baggage troops are responsible for providing firepower reinforcements!"

The captain of the 38th Independent Infantry Battalion, Saburo Aono, the captain of the 40th Independent Infantry Battalion, Katsumi Horiuchi, the captain of the supply battalion, Taro Inoue, and others all responded loudly, "Yes!"

Chi Shangjing Xianji said again: "We are now in the heart of the Eighth Route Army base. There must be a lot of Eighth Route Army troops around us!"

"Once we start to attack their headquarters, the Eighth Route Army troops nearby will surely send reinforcements, so the 68th and 70th Independent Infantry Battalions will be responsible for fighting the reinforcements and blocking the Eighth Route Army troops' reinforcements!"

"You should immediately go find high ground nearby, build a blocking position, and make adequate preparations!"

The captain of the 68th Independent Infantry Battalion, Koizumi Daiichi, and the captain of the 70th Independent Infantry Battalion, Ohba Dairo, both responded loudly: "Ha Yi!"

Afterwards, everyone began to formulate a simple action plan, and the various troops began to take action.

The 38th Independent Infantry Battalion of the th Independent Mixed Brigade began to bypass the Eighth Route Army’s base and crawl towards the ridge of Taihang Mountains, cutting off the retreat route of the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

At the same time, the 68th Independent Infantry Battalion and the 70th Independent Infantry Battalion began to build blocking positions and prepare to attack reinforcements.

Everything is under intense preparation.

In order to be able to destroy the Eighth Route Army headquarters in one fell swoop, Kenkichi Ikegami made sufficient preparations.

As long as all the officers of the Eighth Route Army headquarters were wiped out and the leader was killed, Kenkichi Ikegami would become famous throughout the ages.

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

Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

This Eighth Route Army base is the Eighth Route Army headquarters, which is composed of many houses and courtyards. It is located in a dangerous location and has many defensive positions and fortifications.

If you want to attack by force, it will be very difficult.

At this time, officers, staff, commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army headquarters were all coming in and out, and they did not notice that the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade had quietly appeared three kilometers away from the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

After all, the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade entered the heart of the base by accident.

No backup.

It was pure luck.

Inside the headquarters.

The general and the deputy chief of staff had just discussed the next battle plan and the counterattack against the Japanese.

At this time, the two were chatting.

But as a soldier, the boss still has a keen sixth sense and intuition, so he looked at the deputy chief of staff and said, "Old Zuo, I don't know why I feel uneasy. It feels like something is going to happen."

The deputy chief of staff looked at the boss and said, "Boss, could it be that you have been too tired recently, so this happened?"

· ···Request flowers··· 0

The boss was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "No...it shouldn't be because of tiredness!"

"The anti-Japanese situation in the entire North China region is favorable to us. I don't feel tired, but I just feel uneasy!"

Deputy Chief of General Staff: "Would you like to find a doctor to see you...there must be nothing wrong with your health!"

The boss asked and shook his head, "No need... I know my own body well, it shouldn't be a physical problem!"

I have to say that the boss is indeed an old soldier with rich combat experience and he had a premonition that something big was going to happen.

But the boss was not a god, and he didn't know that the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade appeared around the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

After a pause, the boss spoke again: "How about this... pass on my order, strengthen the headquarters' alert and raise vigilance!"

"Yes!" The adjutant quickly went down to convey the combat order.

Subsequently, the alert level of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters was raised significantly and vigilance was strengthened.

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

The two guard regiments at the Eighth Route Army headquarters also responded quickly and were ready to fight at any time.

The boss made the decision based on his intuition, and accidentally prepared for battle to resist the attack of the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade.

If it weren't for the boss's decision, if the Japanese's 9th Independent Mixed Brigade suddenly launched an attack, it would catch the two guard regiments off guard.

However, now the two guard regiments have increased their alert and entered combat status.

So when the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade launched an attack, the two regiments were able to react quickly and quickly counterattack and block the attack.

The Deputy Chief of General Staff felt puzzled about the boss's decision.

But he didn't say much.

After all, it is not a bad thing to increase the vigilance of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

The deputy chief of staff looked at the general and said, "General, do you think the Eighth Route Army headquarters is unsafe now?"

The boss slowly said, "In this war-torn era, there is no absolutely safe place, and our headquarters is not absolutely safe either!"

After a pause, the deputy chief of staff suddenly said, "How about moving the headquarters to the Xinzhongcun base of Su Zheng's Tiger Guards?"

"The Xinzhongcun base is guarded by the Tiger Guards, so the safety of our headquarters can be guaranteed to a great extent!"

"And Xinzhong Village has a very good geographical advantage. If a special situation occurs, we can sneak into the mountains and forests to ensure safety."

Moving the Eighth Route Army headquarters to the Xinzhongcun base...this has been mentioned several times.

But the headquarters has not yet decided to relocate.

However... after the surprise attack by the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade, the General Staff, the Deputy Chief of Staff and other leaders of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters were determined to move the Eighth Route Army Headquarters to the Xinzhongcun base of Su Zheng's Tiger Guards...

Chapter 531: The Eighth Route Army Headquarters is Exposed! A Battle That Will Go Down in History! (Third Update, Please Subscribe)

The general and the deputy chief of general staff had mentioned several times that the Eighth Route Army headquarters should be moved to the Xinzhongcun base in Suzheng.

But the headquarters and the boss have not made up their minds yet.

After all, there are too many things to consider when relocating the headquarters.

It is not something that can be solved just by wanting it or not.

The general looked at the deputy chief of staff and said, "Old Zuo, to be honest... Based on my personal analysis, I think... moving the Eighth Route Army headquarters to the Xinzhongcun base is a very good choice!"

"But other people at the headquarters do not fully agree with this resolution, so we need to continue discussing it!"

"The Eighth Route Army Headquarters is not just my headquarters, it is the headquarters of the entire Eighth Route Army. I have to weigh the pros and cons!"

The Deputy Chief of General Staff nodded and said, "I understand what you mean... OK... let's study it further."

The relocation of the Eighth Route Army headquarters...this requires careful study and discussion.

Especially when there is no strategic purpose or transfer purpose in the migration, it must be discussed.

The boss still felt a little uneasy.
