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

At this time, the entire Eighth Route Army headquarters was busy with work.

"Report to the Deputy Chief of General Staff, the Japanese Army's 29th Brigade has been dispatched!"

"Report to the commander, the Japanese Army's Fourth Brigade has been dispatched!"

"Report to the division commander, we just received the latest intelligence that the Japanese 16th Brigade has been dispatched!"

Pieces of information kept coming in.

The entire headquarters' staff, military advisers, military commanders, etc. are all studying combat strategies and countermeasures.

The general, the deputy chief of general staff, the commander of the 129th Division, and others were all in front of the combat situation chart, watching the movements of the various Japanese devils.

After learning that the 29th Brigade, the 4th Brigade and the 16th Brigade were all dispatched, the commander frowned.

These brigades are the main combat units of the Japanese First Army.

The boss frowned as he looked at the battle map and said, "The main forces of the Japanese First Army have been dispatched. It seems that this time it will not be easy!"

The 4th Brigade, the 9th Brigade and the 16th Brigade are all very powerful combat units of the Japanese Army.

The Sakata Regiment, previously known as the elite among the elite, was affiliated with the 4th Brigade.

This shows that the 4th Brigade is very powerful.

In modern history, in order to develop and become stronger, the Japanese began the Meiji Restoration and learned from Western powers in all aspects, the most important of which was the military field.

At the beginning, the Japanese formed 7 divisions, and these 7 divisions were the earliest Type A divisions.

Among these seven divisions, the Japanese 7nd Division and the 2th Division are the most elite and most powerful troops, and are considered ace elite forces.

The 4th Brigade is affiliated to the 2nd Division.

From this we can see that the combat effectiveness of the 4th Brigade is indeed quite strong.

The 4th Brigade experienced the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War and has rich combat experience.

In order to meet the needs of the war, the Japanese formed the 4th Division based on the 8th Brigade.

As a result, the 4th Brigade became affiliated with the 8th Division.

According to the Japanese's organizational deployment, a brigade is generally composed of two infantry regiments.

The strength of a Japanese infantry regiment was about 3800 people.

According to the full staffing standard, a brigade of a Class A division has approximately 7000 officers and soldiers.

Now the Japanese have dispatched three brigades at once, which means more than 3 Japanese soldiers, including the elite Fourth Brigade.

This does not include the puppet troops of the Imperial Army.

Therefore, the Japanese dispatched a large number of troops this time.

The Sakata Regiment, which was previously affiliated with the 129th Brigade, forced the th Division headquarters to relocate.

Now that so many elite Japanese troops have been dispatched, the Eighth Route Army is under tremendous pressure.

The deputy chief of staff looked at the Japanese troops' deployment and the direction of movement, and said solemnly: "Boss, I have figured it out."

"This little devil is planning to use the center bloom tactic."

"They used the Yamazaki Battalion as the center point to attract the main force of our Eighth Route Army to Lijiapo, and then they dispatched the main force to form a larger encirclement on the periphery, intending to annihilate our main force in one fell swoop."

"The little devils are quite ambitious and have a really big appetite."

The center-blooming tactic is also a large-scale troop tactic.

There are also successful war cases among them.

That was the Battle of Austerlitz that broke out in Czechoslovakia in 1805.

At that time, the army controlled by French Emperor Napoleon I was relatively weak. Its troops and artillery were inferior to those of the Russian and Austrian coalition forces. This situation was very unfavorable for him.

In order to ensure victory in the war, Napoleon I decided to concentrate his local superior forces in the northern section of the front line when the Russian-Austrian coalition forces bypassed his right wing.

However, Tsar Alexander I was very arrogant and rejected Kutuzov's proposal. He could not wait to launch an attack on the French army without waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

When commanding the battle, Tsar Alexander I made another major mistake and abandoned the central heights.

In the end, Napoleon I quickly dispatched a unit of Marshal Soult, which quickly captured the central Pratzen Heights with absolute advantage. Using the center-blooming tactics, he finally succeeded in defeating the powerful Russian-Austrian coalition forces.

This is the center blooming tactic.

The boss nodded and said, "Yeah...I noticed that too."

"The Japanese sent out so many troops just to wipe out the main force of our Eighth Route Army. I just don't know if they have the ability to do so."

The commander of the 129th Division said: "Boss, I think the most urgent task at the moment is to get rid of the Yamazaki Battalion as soon as possible!"

"They want to use the center-blooming tactic, so we make their center non-existent, then they will have no way to bloom!"

The deputy chief of staff looked at the terrain of Lijiapo and said, "The Yamazaki Battalion is affiliated with the 29th Brigade. They are good at fighting and their equipment is not bad either!"

"Now that the Yamazaki Battalion has occupied the advantageous terrain of Lijiapo, our attack has become more difficult."

The division commander frowned and said, "This will be a fierce battle. The Yamazaki Battalion occupying Lijiapo will not be able to take it down in a short time."

"We have the advantage in numbers, but we can't make use of it at Lijiapo."

The Deputy Chief of General Staff nodded and said, "Yes, the Yamazaki Battalion is a thorn in the throat!"

If the Yamazaki Battalion had been in the plains, it would probably have been wiped out by the main force of the Eighth Route Army in just a few charges.

After all, this is an isolated force advancing deep into the enemy's territory.

However, in the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain of Lijiaopo, the Eighth Route Army’s military advantage could not be brought into play.

The general nodded and said, "Now we will see how the 386th Brigade and the First Death Column perform in battle!"

"As long as they capture Lijiapo as quickly as possible and annihilate the Yamazaki Battalion, we can avoid the risk of being surrounded!"

Deputy Chief of General Staff: "I think... on the other hand, we need to notify all troops to take the initiative to attack the Japanese and puppet troops that are approaching us. We can't let them form an encirclement!"

"Only in this way can we turn passivity into initiative!"

The boss looked at the battle situation map, and then said in a resounding voice: "Let's do it!"

Just as everyone was discussing the battle strategy, the phone at headquarters rang.

Ling Ling Ling......

The deputy chief of staff walked over, picked up the phone and said, "This is the headquarters! I'm the deputy chief of staff."

The voice of the brigade chief of staff came from the other end of the phone: "Deputy Chief of Staff, I am the brigade chief of staff. I am calling to tell the headquarters that the Yamazaki Battalion in Lijiapo has been completely wiped out by our army!"

"What? All of them were wiped out?" The deputy chief of staff was shocked and asked quickly, "When did it happen? They were wiped out so quickly? How were they wiped out?"

The Yamazaki Battalion occupied the advantageous terrain of Lijiaopo.

Because of the steep terrain, it is impossible to deploy large-scale troops.

As a result, even though the Yamazaki Battalion was in the heart of the Eighth Route Army and surrounded by Eighth Route Army troops, it had no way to take advantage of its military strength.

In addition, the Yamazaki Battalion itself has strong combat effectiveness and good equipment.

It would be quite difficult to defeat the Yamazaki Battalion in a short period of time.

But now the 386th Brigade reported the latest battle situation, saying that the Yamazaki Battalion was completely wiped out, which shocked the Deputy Chief of General Staff.

I find this all incredible.

The Chief of Staff of the Brigade Headquarters: "Reporting to the Deputy Chief of General Staff, Lijiapo was breached an hour ago!"

"It was the Independent Battalion of the New 386st Regiment of the th Brigade that captured Lijiapo and annihilated the Yamazaki Battalion. Under the leadership of Battalion Commander Su Zheng, the Independent Battalion took Lijiapo in just one hour, annihilated more than people of the Yamazaki Battalion, and killed the battalion commander Yamazaki Jihei!"

The brigade chief of staff briefly explained the entire process to the deputy chief of general staff.

Su Zheng?

Su Zheng’s independent camp?

The Deputy Chief of General Staff was also quite surprised that Su Zheng's independent battalion appeared in Lijiaopo.

After all, according to the information provided by Shangguan Yufei, the base of Su Zheng’s independent battalion is in Xinzhong Village.

Xinzhong Village is not close to Lijiaopo.

How come Su Zheng’s independent battalion suddenly appeared in Lijiaopo?

This was not what shocked the Deputy Chief of General Staff the most.

The most shocking thing was that Su Zheng's independent battalion annihilated the Yamazaki Battalion, which had the geographical advantage, in just one hour.

Isn't this too fast?

Deputy Chief of General Staff: "Okay, I get it... Su Zheng did a great job this time and fought beautifully!"

"Even if we kill the Yamazaki Battalion, we can directly make the Japanese's central explosion tactics bankrupt!"

"Su Zheng has made great contributions again this time. It is quite impressive that nearly 2,000 soldiers can achieve such results!"

Shangguan Yufei said that Su Zheng’s independent battalion had nearly two thousand people.

Naturally, the Deputy Chief of General Staff thought that Su Zheng led nearly 2,000 troops to capture Lijiaopo this time.

This is also quite amazing.

After all, it only took an hour.

"Two thousand people?" The chief of staff of the 386th Brigade was stunned and asked, "Deputy Chief of General Staff...Does Su Zheng's independent battalion have two thousand people (Li Mahao)?"

"There were only about 700 people participating in the battle at Lijiapo. I didn't see 2,000 soldiers!"

hiss......

More than seven hundred people?

The Deputy Chief of the General Staff couldn't help but gasp again, looking surprised: More than 700 people took over Lijiaopo in just one hour?

How strong is this combat capability?

It was far beyond my expectations.

Deputy Chief of General Staff: "Old Zhou, are you sure?"

The chief of staff of the brigade nodded and said, "Confirmed. Among these more than 700 people, there are more than 200 artillery soldiers, and more than 500 people are actually participating in the charge!"

"That means the number of troops in the direct battle between Su Zheng's independent battalion and Yamazaki's battalion is 1:1!"

The Yamazaki Battalion was completely wiped out with a one-to-one ratio of troops.

This result is quite impressive!

After a pause, the Chief of Staff of the Brigade said, "Deputy Chief of General Staff, the detailed battle report on the Lijiapo battle is already being recorded. Once the summary is completed, it will be sent to the headquarters as soon as possible!"

The Deputy Chief of General Staff nodded and said, "Okay."

The two talked for a while and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, the deputy chief of staff came to the combat command room, looked at the general and the commander of the 129th Division who were studying countermeasures, and said: "General, Lao Liu, I don't think we need to study combat countermeasures... disturbing"

No need to study combat strategies?

Such a sentence made the general and the division commander a little confused. They looked up at the deputy chief of general staff with some confusion.

When the Deputy Chief of General Staff was on the phone with the Chief of Staff of the 386th Brigade, the General Staff and the Division Commander were both studying combat strategies and naturally had no idea about the content of their conversation.

You know, this time the Japanese dispatched the 4th Brigade, the 9th Brigade and the 10th Brigade, all of which are elite combat units.

If it is not handled properly, the base may be raided again at any moment.

This is also a headache for the boss and the commander.

The division commander looked up at the deputy chief of staff and said, "Old Zuo, what do you mean by that? Why don't we study combat strategies?"

The boss was also puzzled and asked: "Yeah... Do you have a plan to defeat the enemy?"

After learning that the Yamazaki Battalion in Lijiapo had been destroyed, the deputy chief of staff looked relieved. He looked at the two and said, "Boss, the 386th Brigade just called. Was the Yamazaki Battalion in Lijiapo destroyed?"

"What?" The boss was surprised: "So fast?"
