Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1499
The Yamada Division was actually killed by Yamada Oji himself.

Oji Yamada was not reconciled after receiving the order from Naozaburo Okabe. He was unwilling to give up tanks, artillery, cars and other equipment to enter the mountains. After all, there were hundreds of tanks and more than 500 cars.

There are not many artillery pieces left, most of them were bombed into scrap iron in Taiyuan, only a few infantry artillery and more than two dozen small-caliber anti-aircraft artillery survived.

In addition, there are heavy machine guns, side three-wheelers, and a large amount of ammunition, etc. If you want to enter the mountain, you have to give up.

In fact, Oji Yamada couldn't let go of this face. He thought that if he got to this point, he would have completely surrendered, so he still hoped to take back Niangziguan by virtue of the advantage of the tank.

He reported to Naozaburo Okabe like this: "Your Excellency, even if we want to enter the mountain, we still have to go in the direction of Niangziguan. Why don't we try?"

Naozaburo Okabe looked at the map and felt that what Oji Yamada said was right. Taihang Mountain was narrower in the direction of Niangziguan, and he could get out of the encirclement faster by entering the mountain from Niangziguan, even though the Eighth Route Army was likely to be stationed at that section.

Thinking of this, Naozaburo Okabe agreed to Yamada Oji's plan.

However, both Naozaburo Okabe and Oji Yamada overlooked one point... At this time, the offensive and defensive posture of the air combat situation has changed positions.

Before the devils bombed the Eighth Route Army's traffic lines to prevent the Eighth Route Army from reinforcements, it was the Eighth Route Army that defended the devils' attack.

Now, the Yamada Division's retreat to break through has become the Eighth Route Army's attack on the devils.

Due to the principle of "offensive is greater than defensive", we can know that maintaining an advantage when attacking does not mean maintaining an advantage when defending, not to mention that the defeated army of the Yamada Division is only a few tens of kilometers away from Taiyuan Airport...

So the sky brightened, to be exact, it was not yet bright.

The first batch of 5 "La 600" fighter planes of the Eighth Route Army took off in the early hours of the morning. They flew at a speed of [-] kilometers per hour and caught up with the Yamada Division, which had fled to more than [-] kilometers away, within a few minutes.

At this time, "La 5" has been fully equipped with a new rocket pod, which can carry 20 rockets, and each "La 5" can carry two rocket pods, which is 40 rockets. Thirty fighters are 1200 pieces...

It looked like a ribbon of fire was floating on the road, blowing up the entire road where the devils were marching.

Among them, cars were especially bombed. After only one round of bombing, there were not many left... The Eighth Route Army Air Corps gave priority to bombing the devil's cars according to Wang Xuexin's order.

Obviously, only the materials transported by the car are important at this time. As for the tank, there is no need for the Eighth Route Army to blow it up.

Therefore, the "La 5" fighter jet hits rockets vigorously when it sees a car, and then dives down and shoots with machine guns after the rockets are fired.

And this was only the first batch, and soon another batch of "La 5" with rocket pods temporarily added arrived again, bombarding the devils indiscriminately.

Only then did Yamada Oji realize how naive he was...

At this speed, the Eighth Route Army was blown down and the entire army was wiped out before reaching Niangziguan. Still thinking about keeping the equipment to fight there?
Therefore, Oji Yamada should have chosen to hide in the mountains from the very beginning... When he knew that Niangziguan had fallen, if he changed his direction and walked north, he could reach the edge of Taihang Mountain for tens of kilometers. When the Eighth Route Army fighter planes came, they only had to go to the jungle Once drilled in, the loss will be much smaller than it is now.

But Oji Yamada has always regarded himself as an "imperial army" and looked down on the Eighth Route Army. Including Naozaburo Okabe, he did not pay attention to the power of the Eighth Route Army's aviation force. The division's situation deteriorated further.

The Devil's fighter planes had just arrived after two rounds of bombing by the Eighth Route Army, but even if they arrived, they did not dare to stay for long.

Because this is the Eighth Route Army's "Pull 100" force within a range of 5 kilometers, they just give the devil infantry a little "solidarity", if they don't leave in time, it won't take long for the Eighth Route Army "Pull 5" to surround them.

But objectively speaking, Oji Yamada and Naozaburo Okabe cannot be blamed for this. How could they have thought that the rocket fighters of the Eighth Route Army could have such ground-targeting capabilities!
Yamada Oji didn't wake up until then: now is not the time to save face, nor is it the time to think about equipment and beat Niangziguan, but the time to save his life.

So he gritted his teeth and gave an order, and the devils blew up the heavy equipment and headed north into the mountains.

Later, I found that entering the mountain was not so easy. The Eighth Route Army was already waiting for them at the position where they entered the mountain... It was actually the monk's reconnaissance brigade. With helicopter maneuvering, they could rush to any point in time and occupy a favorable position on the high ground.

How can the devils without heavy equipment fight against the reconnaissance brigade?

Even if the monk's army has only more than 200 people, it is still difficult to get down, not to mention whether there are other troops ambushing in the mountains.

Oji Yamada could only order the troops to disperse and march... This means that he let his subordinates ask for more blessings.

Yamada Oji himself disguised himself as a soldier and led the guards into the mountain. Before leaving, he ordered his subordinates to "hand in" some supplies.

In the end, only more than 2000 people from the Yamada Division were able to walk out of the Taihang Mountains, and many of them were too hungry to survive.

If it was just crossing the Taihang Mountains, the loss might not be so great. The problem is that the devils still have to face the Eighth Route Army's siege and interception in the Taihang Mountains.

So they didn't dare to use guns when hunting along the way, for fear that the sound of gunfire would attract the Eighth Route Army.

This directly led to a serious shortage of rations for the devils, and countless deaths from starvation and disease.

Wang Xuexin was not dissatisfied with this battle. Although he failed to wipe them all out, he forced them into the mountains and let the environment clean them up. The Eighth Route Army also saved ammunition and casualties.

Before the battle was over, Wang Xuexin fixed his eyes on Duolun County on the map.

Duolun County is a strategically important place. Only by taking it there can we prepare for the attack on Chifeng, and taking Chifeng can block the main force of the devils to the east of the Greater Khingan Mountains, which will give the Eighth Route Army enough time to deploy in the west.

However, it is precisely because of this that the devils will also attach importance to the defense of Duolun County.

At this time, more than 100 kilometers from Jiulian Township to Duolun County, the devils had already added more than [-] troops to build five lines of defense in this area.

To be precise, it is not a line of defense, but more like a cordon.

Because it is almost impossible to build a line of defense in the open grassland area, which requires a considerable amount of troops and cannot be defended.

The devils built these cordons because they did not want the mechanized troops of the Eighth Route Army to drive straight into the plains, so they used barbed wire, trenches, mines, etc. to artificially build roadblocks combined with the terrain.

Over time...these roadblocks will become more and more, and it will become more and more difficult to attack Duolun County!
