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

Li Yunlong said solemnly: "Old Zhao... This is the base of our Eighth Route Army, and it is also the headquarters' territory defense zone. There should be quite a few troops nearby!"

"But we've been fighting for nearly two hours, and there's still no sign of reinforcements!"

"What does this mean? It means that there are more Japanese soldiers outside the Eighth Route Army headquarters than the ones we see now. There are also Japanese soldiers responsible for fighting the reinforcements."

"Therefore...the current situation is not optimistic for us!"

Zhao Gang nodded and said, "So now we can only rely on favorable terrain to block the enemy's attack and wait for the arrival of our reinforcements!"

"Or we can wait for an opportunity to break through and see if we can open a gap!"

The reason why the two regiments of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters were able to hold out for so long.

There are mainly several reasons.

On the one hand, the New 1st Regiment and the Special Forces Regiment were both elite troops of the Eighth Route Army with strong combat effectiveness, excellent equipment and rich combat experience.

On the other hand, both the New 1st Regiment and the Special Forces Regiment occupied advantageous terrain.

As the defensive party.

Both the New 1st Regiment and the Special Forces Regiment had strong fortifications and steep defensive terrain.

This is very helpful for defense.

Of course, the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment and the Special Forces Regiment were all very clear about this.

Behind them is the Eighth Route Army headquarters, where the general commander, deputy chief of general staff, and all the chiefs and superiors are located.

If the Japanese surrounded and annihilated the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the consequences would be disastrous.

Therefore, these warriors would not give in even if they died.

This is a strong fighting spirit.

At the same time, this is also faith and spirit.

However, once a breakout operation was launched, it would mean that the Eighth Route Army's terrain advantages and defensive fortification advantages would be gone, and breaking out would naturally be very difficult.

Although Li Yunlong likes to stir up trouble, he also knows the importance of the headquarters and will definitely use his life to defend the safety of the boss and others!

This is the warrior spirit!

In this situation, Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang and patted his chest and said, "Old Zhao, I dare not say anything else... As long as there is a soldier in our New 1st Regiment, we will never let the Japanese invaders pass through our defensive position!"

"If a Japanese soldier stepped over here, there would be only one possibility, that is, he would step over my, Li Yunlong's, dead body!"

Zhao Gang: "Don't say such discouraging words, we will definitely be able to get out of this danger this time!"

After a fierce battle, the New 1st Regiment once again repelled the Japanese's frenzied attack.

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

The 38th Independent Mixed Brigade not only launched an attack on the front battlefield, but also launched a fierce attack by the th Independent Infantry Battalion in the back mountains.

Da da da......

clap clap clap...

chug chu...

The battle was also very fierce.

Zhang Dabiao was leading the soldiers, relying on the favorable terrain, to continuously block the crazy attacks of the Japanese devils.

The soldiers were also very brave.

He used his flesh and blood to continuously defeat the Japanese attacks.

So tragic!

So intense!

The soldiers also made great sacrifices.

The number of casualties is rising rapidly.

Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

At this time, the CEO, deputy chief of staff and everyone else in the headquarters all had serious expressions on their faces.

There was intense gunfire everywhere.

Now the Eighth Route Army Headquarters cannot retreat even if they want to.

In fact.

It would have been even more dangerous if the Eighth Route Army headquarters had initially retreated from the Taihang Mountains behind.

Because the 38th Battalion in the back mountain was approaching.

Once the headquarters retreats to Taihang Mountains, it will mean encountering the Japanese devils from the 38th Battalion.

This situation is even more dangerous.

In the mountains and forests.

The Eighth Route Army was unable to occupy advantageous terrain, and at the same time had no advantage in equipment, combat effectiveness, and number of troops... If a fierce battle took place in the jungle, the Eighth Route Army headquarters would suffer heavy casualties.

Now that the Eighth Route Army headquarters does not retreat, Zhang Dabiao can still rely on defensive fortifications and favorable terrain to block the attack of the Japanese 38th Battalion.

Simply put, once the Eighth Route Army Headquarters retreats into the jungle, it will encounter the Japanese devils from the 38th Battalion, and the situation will become even more dangerous... It is relatively safe not to retreat now.

The boss insisted on not retreating...which invisibly saved the safety of the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

But the crisis at the Eighth Route Army headquarters has not yet been resolved.

The current battlefield situation is very unfavorable for the Eighth Route Army.

The deputy chief of staff looked at the general and said, "General, the attack of these little devils is even more fierce. It seems that they also want to break through our defense position as soon as possible!"

The boss nodded and said, "Yes...it depends on whether they have the ability to do it!"

"By the way, where are the reinforcements? Haven't they arrived yet?"

The deputy chief of staff frowned and said solemnly: "Boss, our reinforcements have been blocked by the Japanese."

"Our troops are also actively attacking and breaking through the Japanese defense line, but it will take some time."

There are three possibilities to resolve the crisis at the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

First, we completely wiped out the invading enemy and annihilated more than 6,000 Japanese soldiers from the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade.

Second, it’s getting dark, so we’ll launch a night attack to break out.

Third, reinforcements arrived.

But now there is still some time before dark, which is very difficult to endure.

The boss frowned and said helplessly: "I have planned everything... but I didn't expect that a group of Japanese soldiers would suddenly appear at the headquarters. It seems that there are still big problems with our headquarters' defense network!"

The deputy chief of staff nodded, looked at the boss, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Boss, why don't you send a telegram to Su Zheng's Tiger Guards!"

"Tell him that our headquarters is under siege... and see if he has any solutions."

PS: I still need 4 more auto-subscriptions to reach 60. I beg for an auto-subscription. Thank you all for your support.

Chapter 537 The boss urgently asks Su Zheng for help! Shangguan Yufei has made a contribution (first update, please subscribe)

The Deputy Chief of General Staff suddenly made a meaningless suggestion to the boss - to ask for help from Su Zheng's Tiger Guards.

You know, the main force of Su Zheng's Tiger Guards is now in the Xinzhong Village base.

The Xinzhongcun base is more than 100 kilometers away from the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

This distance is not close.

After all, it was a war-torn period when transportation was underdeveloped.

If you want to reach the Eighth Route Army headquarters from the Xinzhongcun base, the fastest forced march will take at least one day and one night.

Not to mention that during this period the Tiger Guards had to pass through some enemy-occupied areas and areas with complex situations.

Within a day and a night, the Eighth Route Army headquarters either successfully broke through or was annihilated.

It's simply too late.

After all, distant water cannot put out a nearby fire.

The general was stunned, looked at the deputy chief of staff, and said, "Old Zuo... This Xinzhongcun base is too far away from our headquarters. Water from far away cannot quench a nearby fire. It can't support our headquarters at all!"

After the Eighth Route Army headquarters was attacked by the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade, the Deputy Chief of General Staff immediately notified the nearby troops and asked them to rush to reinforce.

But their troops were blocked by the Japanese.

This is very helpless.

The other main forces of the Eighth Route Army were pinned down by other Japanese and puppet troops and were unable to split up.

Therefore, the situation that the Eighth Route Army Headquarters is facing now is: the number of nearby reinforcements is small, only a few regiments, but they were blocked by the Japanese devils; the ones far away are pinned down by other Japanese and puppet troops, and if they are too far away, there is no time to rescue them.

The situation is extremely critical.

The Deputy Chief of General Staff naturally knew this truth, and nodded and said, "Boss, I know this too!"

"But the situation is extremely critical now. Other troops are unable to provide reinforcements. We can only see if Su Zheng's Tiger Guards can provide any solutions!"

"By the way... doesn't Su Zheng's Tiger Guard have a fighter plane?"

"Although the number is small, if he arranges fighter jets to come to support us, our pressure will be much less."

The last time the general and the deputy chief of general staff went to Ping'an County, the Tiger Guard Regiment had only one P51 Mustang fighter.

但是现在虎贲团的空军力量是大大增强了，分别是拥有了5架B17轰炸机和5架P51野马战斗机......这组成了10架战机的空中打击力量！

Boss: "Although the Tiger Guards have a fighter plane, the number is too small... and it is a fighter plane, so the support it can provide is limited!"

"If we want the main force of the Tiger Guards to come to support us... we simply can't wait."

Deputy Chief of General Staff: "Boss, although we can't wait for the main force of the Tiger Guards, we can still borrow their air power."

"This is at least in our favor... It's our only resource now and can support our troops."

"The hope is slim, but it's better than just sitting there and waiting to die!"

The boss nodded and said, "Well... OK, no matter what, first send a telegram to Su Zheng's Tiger Guards, inform Su Zheng about the affairs of our Eighth Route Army headquarters, and ask him to provide air fire support!"

Deputy Chief of General Staff: “Yes!”

Afterwards, the radio station of the Eighth Route Army headquarters began to send telegrams to Su Zheng's Tiger Guard Regiment.

When other officers and chiefs of the Eighth Route Army headquarters learned that the general and deputy chief of general staff had asked for help from the Tiger Guards Regiment more than 100 kilometers away, they all felt that the general and deputy chief of general staff's request for help would not be of much use.

I even thought it was a very crazy move.

I'm a bit panicked and at a loss as to what to do.

Although Su Zheng’s Tiger Guards are powerful, they are too far away from the headquarters... distant water cannot put out a nearby fire.

But now the Eighth Route Army troops on the periphery are unable to support and rescue the Eighth Route Army headquarters, so they can only go to Su Zheng's Tiger Guards for help... Although this is not the best strategy, it is also a glimmer of hope.

Drop drop drop  …

The Eighth Route Army's main radio station sent an urgent telegram to Su Zheng's Tiger Guard Regiment radio station.

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

Xinzhongcun base.

Headquarters of the Tiger Guards Regiment.

At this time, Su Zheng did not know that the Eighth Route Army headquarters was besieged by the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade.

After all, Su Zheng is not a god.

You can't predict all this.

Here, Su Zheng's Tiger Guard Regiment was too far away from the Eighth Route Army headquarters, so naturally they had no idea of ​​the movements of the Japanese and puppet troops.

However, the Telecommunications Department of Skynet Intelligence Agency did make a contribution.

Because Su Zheng had been inspecting the construction of the base and the training of various troops these days, he took a relatively long time to eat lunch.

Now the tank infantry battalion, air force combat unit and artillery battalion of the Tiger Guard Regiment have all formed combat effectiveness, but they still need to seize the time for training.
