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

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

Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

The news that the Eighth Route Army's logistics base in the direction of Yixiantian was attacked soon reached the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

"How big is this war!" the boss said angrily, "A unit of the Japanese invaders penetrated deep into our hinterland, and we had no idea?"

The deputy chief of staff beside him quickly said, "Boss...don't be angry first!"

"Although the Japanese attacked our logistics base, according to the report from Zhang Wanhe, the head of the logistics department, the damage to our logistics base was not great!"

The boss was stunned and asked, "Oh...what's going on?"

The deputy chief of staff said: "All this is because the independent battalion of the new regiment arranged for a signalman to tip off in advance!"

A new independent battalion?

Su Zheng’s troops?

If Su Zheng arranged for someone to come and tip off the news in advance, then he would have made a great contribution...

Chapter 100 The brigade commander was shocked: Where did the American-equipped Eighth Route Army come from? (First update, please subscribe)

The Eighth Route Army's logistics base is located in Yitiantian. Although there are guard troops, if it encounters a sudden attack by the Japanese devils, it will definitely suffer heavy losses.

Apart from anything else, the shelling alone could cause many casualties among doctors, nurses and wounded soldiers in the field hospital!

If the arsenal had been bombarded, the losses would have been even greater.

But now the logistics base has suffered little loss, all because Su Zheng arranged for the communicator to come and notify as quickly as possible, thus avoiding tragedy and loss.

The boss was relieved to learn that the losses at the logistics base were not great.

But I didn’t expect that this was related to Su Zheng.

This is the fourth time the boss has heard about Su Zheng.

Shangguan Yufei also mentioned Su Zheng yesterday.

The boss looked at the deputy chief of staff and said, "Are you saying that Su Zheng's independent battalion arranged people to tip off Minister Zhang in advance, so that the loss of our logistics base was not great?"

The Deputy Chief of Staff nodded and said, "Yes...that's right."

The Eighth Route Army's foundation was originally very weak.

They had finally built up some foundation. If they were to suffer heavy losses in a surprise attack by the Yamazaki Battalion, it would be a huge blow to the Eighth Route Army.

Now such a tragedy can be avoided, all because of Su Zheng.

Su Zheng’s information is very important.

The boss was stunned for a moment, then said, "Then... "543"... How did this Su Zheng know that the Japanese would attack our Eighth Route Army's logistics base alone?"

Deputy Chief of General Staff: "I don't know about that... I have to ask Su Zheng!"

"But no matter what, although our logistics base was attacked this time, the losses were not great. This is a blessing in disguise!"

"If it was really Su Zheng who tipped off the police in advance, then Su Zheng has made another great contribution!"

The boss nodded: "Indeed, this Su Zheng is indeed a rare talent."

"But... our most urgent task is to get rid of this Yamazaki Battalion!"

The deputy chief of staff said: "Boss, according to the intelligence analysis we have, this Yamazaki Battalion should not know the situation of our base at all. It is like a blind cat catching a dead mouse, and it broke into our base!"

"I don't think they know that Yixiantian is where our logistics base is!"

The boss said domineeringly: "No matter what, we must kill this Yamazaki Brigade for me!"

"This Yamazaki Battalion really thinks too highly of itself. With only a few hundred men in the battalion, they dare to march alone deep into the heart of our Eighth Route Army base! They really don't know how to live or die."

"No problem, kill him!"

"Connect me to Brigade 386 immediately. I want to speak to the brigade commander!"

Soon, the call was connected.

The boss immediately said, "I'm the boss. Have your troops arrived at Lijiapo yet?"

The brigade commander on the other end of the phone: "Just arrived at Lijiapo."

The boss said: "Okay, don't worry about anything else now, and don't be afraid of the Japanese reinforcements coming."

"I have only one order. That is, once the Japanese form an outer encirclement and their reinforcements arrive at Lijiaopo, you, the 386th Brigade, must wipe out this damn Yamazaki Battalion!"

"Repeat it to me!"

The brigade commander quickly said, "Yes... I repeat, my 386th Brigade will definitely destroy the damn Yamazaki Battalion at all costs!"

After hanging up the phone, the brigade commander immediately convened a military meeting with the heads or commissioners of each regiment.

First of all, we need to determine who will be the main attacking force and who will be the reserve force.

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

Lijiapo.

All the Japanese soldiers were on high alert.

Waiting for the Eighth Route Army's crazy attack.

Yamazaki Jihei sat on the ammunition box, looking very relaxed and comfortable.

At this time, the adjutant came over and said, "Report to the colonel, an Eighth Route Army unit appeared at the foot of the hill!"

Yamazaki Jihei was stunned and asked, "What... So fast?"

Normally, mobilizing troops, holding military meetings, studying combat plans... all these take time.

This is also the reason why Su Zheng led the elite company and the Dragon Soul Special Forces to Lijiaopo, but the main force of the Eighth Route Army had not yet arrived.

"How many Eighth Route Army troops are there at the foot of the mountain?"

Adjutant: "I roughly observed that the number of troops is about 500!"

Yamazaki Jihei was stunned again: "What? Five hundred people? Ridiculous... It's really ridiculous."

"Are you really going to rely on these 500-odd soldiers to fight against our elite Yamazaki Battalion? You are really overestimating your own capabilities!"

"Don't even mention that we have a geographical advantage now. Even if we confront the Tubalu head-on, we are not afraid of these 500 Tubalu!"

Obviously, Yamazaki Jihei mistook Su Zheng's troops at the foot of the hill for the Eighth Route Army.

He has never fought against Su Zheng's troops.

Once they fight, you will know how powerful the independent battalion is.

The eight roads at the bottom of the hill are not dirt.

Have you ever seen the Eighth Route Army equipped with full American equipment?

However, Yamazaki Jihei has not yet realized the complexity of this group of Eighth Route Army soldiers at the foot of the hill.

The adjutant said, "Although the hundreds of Eighth Route Army soldiers at the bottom of the hill are not to be feared, I believe that it won't be long before the main force of the Eighth Route Army will defend Lijiapo!"

Yamazaki Jihei said calmly: "I have already said that we are not surrounded. We are now implementing the central blooming tactic!"

"As long as we hold Lijiaopo, we will attract the main force of the Eighth Route Army to move here, and our reinforcements will form a larger encirclement on the periphery!!"

"Then we can wipe out the main force of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop!"

"I advise you to save your energy and don't be anxious. We will counterattack when the time is right!"

"Understand?"

"Ha Yi!" The adjutant said nothing more.

Soon, the Japanese signalman ran to Yamazaki Jihei and said, "Report to the captain, General Shinozuka Yoshio sent a telegram."

"Read!"

"Ha Yi, the 16th Brigade, the 9th Brigade, and the 4th Brigade are on their way. Please make sure to defend Lijiapo!"

Yamazaki Jihei nodded and said, "Please rest assured, General Shinozuka Yoshio. With the strength of our Yamazaki Battalion, it won't be a big problem to defend Lijiapo!"

To be honest, the combat effectiveness of the Yamazaki Battalion is indeed not weak.

The equipment is also excellent.

There are ten mortars in total!

There are also two heavy machine guns.

Such sophisticated equipment has become Yamazaki Jihei's greatest confidence.

Yamazaki Jihei felt that everything was under his control.

But it was his bad luck to meet Su Zheng.

At the bottom of Lijia slope.

Su Zheng is leading his troops and waiting for Yang Zhihua's artillery company!

In the TV series plot: Li Yunlong used earthwork to dig trenches to shorten the attack distance and reduce casualties, and at the same time used grenades to achieve the effect of mortars... The reason for all this is because Li Yunlong's independent regiment lacks artillery power.

But now Su Zheng has an artillery company, more than 20 mortars, as well as Type 92 infantry guns and mortars... With such a powerful artillery force, there is naturally no need for earthwork tactics. ...

Su Zheng took out a telescope and observed the geographical situation and related conditions of Lijiaopo.

Zhao Donghai next to him said, "Captain, how about we launch a tentative attack?"

Su Zheng put down the telescope and murmured, "The terrain of Lijiapo is indeed easy to defend but difficult to attack. If we charge blindly, the losses will be huge!"

"There's no need for a tentative attack. Fighting a war requires a method. You can't just charge in. That'll only put yourself in danger!"

Zhao Donghai nodded.

Just at this time, Wei Dayong came back.

Wei Dayong came up to Su Zheng and said, "Captain, I just went to the logistics base to find out more!"

"The logistics base had received our intelligence and had made sufficient preparations in advance, so the attack by the Yamazaki Battalion did not cause much damage!"

Su Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good!"

Lijiaopo did not leave from Yixiantian's logistics base, but the two places were about one kilometer apart.

After arriving at Lijiaopo, Su Zheng asked Wei Dayong to find out about the situation at the logistics base.

Now I feel relieved to know that the logistics base suffered little damage.

Fortunately, we arrived in time and avoided a major loss.

At this time, Chen Zhengguo also came back and said, "Captain, you asked me to survey the terrain of Lijiapo, and I saw it too!"

"There is a steep slope behind Lijia Slope. The Japanese didn't set up any defense there. Our Dragon Soul Special Forces can climb up Lijia Slope from there!"

Su Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, now that we have a way to get to Lijiapo, it's fine! Wait for my order to move."

Chen Zhengguo: “Yes.”

After arriving at Lijiaopo, Su Zheng already had an action plan.

They will definitely not go head-on with the Yamazaki Battalion which has the geographical advantage.

Su Zheng wanted to capture Lijiaopo with minimal casualties and chop Yamazaki Zhiping alive.

Fighting a war requires brains.

You can't confront it head-on.

Su Zheng looked at Zhao Donghai and said, "Donghai, this is the first actual combat of your elite American-equipped company. Pay attention to the three-three tactics. Play this one beautifully!"

Zhao Donghai said loudly: "Yes, Captain... You don't know that my blood is boiling right now. I can't wait to launch a charge!"

Su Zheng looked at the time and said, "No hurry, wait until the artillery company arrives."

Now the Dragon Soul Special Forces and the elite company are on high alert.
