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

Fortunately, the boss had previously issued an order to strengthen vigilance, which prevented panic and defense gaps.

However, facing the sudden artillery attack from the Japanese, the Eighth Route Army suffered heavy casualties and suffered considerable losses.

In addition to the Type 92 infantry gun firing, large-caliber mortars also opened fire.

dong dong dong...

swish swish...  

A large number of various artillery shells continuously fell on the defensive positions and fortifications outside the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

A series of deafening explosions rang out.

Rumble...

Boom boom boom...

Explosions were heard everywhere.

Many soldiers died heroically under the fierce artillery fire.

"Enemy attack...enemy attack..."

"Enemy attack... The enemy is coming..."

"There are enemies...quickly...quickly go and inform the boss."

......

The sudden attack of the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade caught the two guard regiments off guard.

However, they quickly entered combat mode.

There were two regiments placed next to the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

Both regiments built defensive fortifications on the left and right sides of the headquarters to protect the safety of the headquarters.

As for the headquarters, it is where the heads of agencies, secretaries, superiors, staff and other personnel are located, as well as several hundred people in the headquarters' direct-affiliated troops.

in other words.

The total number of troops that the headquarters can directly mobilize is now around 4500.

With the combat effectiveness of the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade, only two battalions of troops were needed to deal with more than 4,000 Eighth Route Army troops.

The two battalions of the 3500th Independent Mixed Brigade, plus the logistical troops, had a total strength of people.

3500 Japanese devils faced off against 4500 Eighth Route Army soldiers...in fact, the Japanese devils had the upper hand.

After all, the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade is a Type B combat unit, well-equipped, experienced in combat, and still has the initiative in the battle.

The two regiments responsible for guarding the Eighth Route Army headquarters were the Special Forces Regiment and Li Yunlong's New 1st Regiment.

The Special Forces Group has always been responsible for the security of the headquarters.

The combat effectiveness is naturally good.

It is considered an elite force among the Eighth Route Army, with a total strength of more than one thousand.

Another unit responsible for the headquarters' security and garrison mission was Li Yunlong's New 1st Regiment.

Although Li Yunlong's New 1st Regiment had grown to more than 7,000 people in half a year, the main force was Su Zheng's independent battalion.

Now that Su Zheng's independent battalion has separated to form the Tiger Guard Regiment, the total strength of the remaining New 1st Regiment is more than 2,000 people.

The combat effectiveness of the new regiment should not be underestimated.

Especially after the Battle of Ping'an, the combat effectiveness of the New 1st Regiment was improved to a higher level, and its weapons and equipment were also much better.

After the Ping'an Battle ended, the boss transferred Li Yunlong's New 1st Regiment to the headquarters to be responsible for the security and guarding of the headquarters.

The boss did this for a purpose.

Li Yunlong has been allowed to develop freely for more than half a year, and with his personality, he is definitely not used to it.

The boss was afraid that Li Yunlong would not be able to control his temper and would cause trouble...so he transferred Xin Yitian to the headquarters and personally watched Li Yunlong to prevent Li Yunlong from causing trouble.

I have to say that the boss has put a lot of effort into this.

This also shows that the boss thinks highly of Li Yunlong.

According to the boss's plan, he wanted to let Li Yunlong temper himself, cultivate his character and be trained under his own supervision, and then let his new regiment continue to develop.

However, they did not expect that the Special Forces Regiment and the New 1st Regiment were now under attack by the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade.

Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

Rumble...

Boom boom boom...

There was a loud sound of artillery fire, which made the Deputy Chief of General Staff, the general manager, as well as the heads and cadres of the headquarters a little confused.

It sounds like the cannon fire is not far away.

It's nearby.

The deputy chief of staff suddenly became anxious and looked at the general and said, "General, the sound of the shelling is not far away. It feels like it is near us... Could it be that the Japanese have discovered our headquarters? Are they attacking our headquarters?"

The boss is someone who has experienced many ups and downs.

Under such circumstances, he remained calm and said, "That doesn't make sense... Why haven't we heard any reports from any troops that the enemy has penetrated deep into our territory?"

Rumble...

Boom boom boom...

At this moment, a shell landed less than 10 meters away from the headquarters' residential building.

A loud explosion sounded.

It caused a shock wave and waves, and the attackers continued to attack from all sides.

The houses where the general manager, deputy chief of general staff and others lived also received a certain impact, and a lot of dust and debris fell.

The deputy chief of staff understood and said nervously, "Boss, the situation is not good. Our headquarters has been attacked. We must retreat immediately!"

Until now...the general and the deputy chief of staff still don’t understand...how did a Japanese army suddenly appear at the Eighth Route Army headquarters?

The boss was furious: "What are Li Yunlong and 873 doing? They didn't even notice that the Japanese were right under their noses?"

The deputy chief of staff was very worried about the boss's safety, fearing that the boss would lose his temper and refuse to retreat, so he quickly said, "Boss, now is not the time to pursue this... The most urgent thing is that we must retreat!"

The boss' temper also flared up. He showed no intention of retreating and said, "Why retreat? Running away when we see the Japanese? That's not my style."

"You don't even know how many Japanese soldiers there are, why are you running away?"

"Besides, don't we have the Special Forces Regiment and the New First Regiment next to our headquarters?"

"What do Li Yunlong and Fang Zheng do for a living? They can't even guarantee the safety of the headquarters?"

Fang Zheng, the head of the special forces regiment, is an old revolutionary who has followed the boss and others all the way from the Red Army.

This is the boss's personality: decisive and tough.

Even though the Japanese are attacking our headquarters, we remain calm.

The deputy chief of staff was anxious and said, "Boss...the Japanese shells are hitting us. For your safety, we have to withdraw!"

"No matter how many Japanese devils there are, just leave them to the Special Forces Regiment and the New 1st Regiment!"

At this moment, a staff officer ran in quickly and said, "Report to the boss, a Japanese troop appeared three kilometers away from our headquarters!"

"This group of Japanese soldiers has an unknown number of people and is carrying some kind of weapon. They are attacking the defense position of the Special Forces Regiment!"

"Captain Fang suggests that the headquarters retreat immediately to ensure the safety of the head of the headquarters!"

The boss was stunned and asked, "What does Fang Zheng do for a living? The Japanese have already launched an attack, and we don't know how many Japanese soldiers there are?"

Chapter 533: The Deputy Chief of General Staff is shocked! Li Yunlong is excited (First update, please subscribe)

The sudden attack by the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade caught the headquarters off guard.

It is not yet known how many enemies there are in this group.

This is very depressing and unpleasant.

Rumble...

Boom boom boom...

bang bang bang...

There was gunfire outside.

This made the deputy chief of staff even more worried about the boss's safety, and he said, "Boss, under the current circumstances... I think it would be safer to retreat immediately."

"I guess this group of Japanese soldiers, like the Yamazaki Battalion before, entered our base by mistake and accidentally discovered the location of our headquarters."

"Boss, retreat!"

For the Eighth Route Army, the most important thing is the safety of the boss.

Boss: "Retreat? I won't retreat... I have my own legs, I can leave anytime I want!"

"I want to know which Japanese army is so bold as to attack the Eighth Route Army headquarters alone!"

Deputy Chief of General Staff: "Boss, this is too dangerous!"

The boss also made the decision directly: "It's decided... Stop talking, let me see if these little devils have supernatural powers."

After saying that, the boss took a telescope to the observation point of the headquarters and began to observe the battle situation ahead.

The deputy chief of staff saw this and knew that there was no way to dissuade the boss, so he hurriedly said, "Quick, protect the boss... Protect the boss!"

Not afraid of fighting!

Don't be afraid of fighting!

I won't run away when I see the Japanese.

This is the style of the Eighth Route Army!

This is also the boss's tough style.

Now the Deputy Chief of General Staff did not see the threat posed by this invading Japanese enemy, so he did not force the general to retreat.

If this group of Japanese soldiers poses a threat to the boss, the deputy chief of general staff will definitely force the boss to retreat.

At that time, the boss just didn't want to leave.

The Deputy Chief of General Staff would also have the boss carried away.

However, the deputy chief of general staff would not just sit there and wait for death. He immediately said to the communicator next to him, "Quick, notify the nearby troops that can be contacted immediately and have them rush to support the headquarters!"

"Just tell them that the headquarters was attacked by the Japanese and ask them to move their troops to the headquarters immediately."

"Yes!"

The signalman immediately sent a telegram to the nearby Eighth Route Army troops.

The content of the telegram was also very simple, which was to ask the nearby Eighth Route Army troops to quickly reinforce the Eighth Route Army headquarters and wipe out the Japanese outside the Eighth Route Army headquarters in one fell swoop.

However, the Eighth Route Army could only contact combat units at the division and brigade levels, but could not contact combat units at the regiment level.

This means that even if the telegram is sent to the division or brigade level, the division or brigade level still needs to use telephone lines or cavalry signalmen to notify the regiment level combat units.

This will take some time.

On the other hand, this time the Deputy Chief of General Staff only notified the nearby Eighth Route Army troops.

Su Zheng's Tiger Guards were far away in the Xinzhong Village base.

The two places are far apart.

Therefore, when the headquarters was attacked, Su Zheng's Tiger Guards were not notified.

This is also normal.

After all, although the Tiger Guards are capable of fighting, they are too far away from the Eighth Route Army headquarters... distant water cannot put out a nearby fire.

After sending the telegram for help, the Deputy Chief of General Staff felt a little relieved.

After all, this is the territory of the Eighth Route Army.
