Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 180 Money

Turns out feeling matters.

If Wang Xuexin were to come here, he would not be able to grasp the accurate offset in this darkness.

Old Jiu has this ability.

Then the third shell hit an accurate hit, and the devil's gun tower lost its firepower in an instant... The gun towers in this area are all made of bricks and stones. Just beat the devils and puppet soldiers inside into a mess.

Even if there is no direct hit, the shock will make the defenders terrified and unintentionally defend.

Because everyone knows what will happen next... The gun tower has been knocked out a big hole, and the enemy grenades will soon be thrown in one after another from the hole.

The smart veterans already know that this blockhouse can't be defended, and if they don't run away, it will be their burial place.

However, the devils were determined not to let the puppet army escape. The devils' army Cao blocked the door with a hideous face, waving the bastard box in his hand and shouting hoarsely: "Go back...or die, die..."

When the puppet army was at a loss, several grenades with blue smoke fell from the sky and fell to their feet...

At that moment, the hearts of the puppet soldiers collapsed. If they knew that they should have killed the devils and escaped if they didn't care about 21 and [-].

But it was too late to regret it at this time. After hearing a few explosions of "boom, boom", bursts of smoke burst out in the gun tower, and then the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army rushed in with bayonets and stabbed randomly at the corpses inside.

If the gun tower is in the hands of the devils, it will become a support point for the devils' defense, but if it falls into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, it will become a breakthrough for the Eighth Route Army.

Because the Eighth Route Army can hide in the gun tower and shoot at the enemies on both sides through the perforation. If they climb to the top of the building and set up a machine gun, they will completely suppress the enemies on both sides.

So the devils were beaten and screamed in an instant, and then retreated like a tide... To be precise, it was not the devils that retreated, but the puppet army.

Most of the troops stationed in the forward gun towers are puppet troops.

The reason is that the frontal line of defense is too long. From the northwest of Shanxi to the Taihang Mountains, it is almost a circle around the entire Shanxi with the railway line as the center.

With such a long line of defense, even if Ningji Okamura transferred three divisions, it would be just a drop in the bucket.

Neiji Okamura's defensive thought is:
Use mixed brigades and puppet troops with insufficient combat power to guard the periphery, and a few divisions with strong combat power to guard the core. Once a certain place on the periphery is attacked, the core troops can rely on road mobility to immediately reinforce that place.

This kind of dynamic defense makes sense. If it doesn't work, you can also use the train to carry the car to maneuver, so you can achieve the goal of maximizing the force.

The problem is that everyone is being attacked now, not just the 22 regiments of the Eighth Route Army that participated in the first batch of attacks, but also various guerrilla units lurking in the tunnels, and the whole of Shanxi is boiling.

One after another, telegrams asking for help flew to the headquarters of the First Army of the North China Front Army like snowflakes. Okamura Ningji and Shinozuka Yoshio stared at these enemy situations dumbfounded, and couldn't believe it was true.

"Shinozuka-kun!" Neiji Okamura asked, "Have you ever encountered such a situation before?"

Shinozuka Yoshio shook his head, and replied with certainty: "It has never happened before, Your Excellency the Lieutenant General!"

Neiji Okamura turned his gaze to the sand table. The staff was planting a flag there according to the telegram, and a small red flag was planted at the position where there was an enemy situation. At this time, the sand table was already bright red.

Neiji Okamura did not understand what the enemy's intentions were.

decisive battle?

Neiji Okamura remembered what Yoshio Shinozuka said before, that the Eighth Route Army might have been forced by himself and had to fight the Japanese army to the death.

If so, Neiji Okamura is not worried.

Because with the strength of the Japanese army at this time, although it is impossible to fully control the overall situation, it is more than enough to defend several important cities and even surrounding counties.

however……

When Ningji Okamura thought of the previous failed sweep and the unexpected Eighth Route Army blocking his offensive from the front, he lacked confidence in his own judgment.

What if the Eighth Route Army did have such capabilities?

Or, is this a counterattack by the Eighth Route Army, the Jinsui Army, or even the Chongqing side against the North China Front Army?
Thinking of this, Ningji Okamura was startled.

If so, then the enemy would be able to launch a counterattack.

The Eighth Route Army has 40 people, the Jinsui Army has 20 people, and the Central Army has 30 people... This is nearly a million, which should not be underestimated!
(The Jinsui Army actually only has about 12 people, but the phenomenon of being short-paid is extremely serious. It has been receiving military pay for more than 18.9 people, which also makes the Japanese army still confused about the real strength of the Jinsui Army)

Thinking of this, Okamura Ningji ordered: "Order all the ministries to stay in place, and do not easily reinforce without an order!"

"Yes!" Shinozuka Yoshio replied, turned around and conveyed the order.

Okamura Neiji never thought that the strategic goal of the Eighth Route Army was not the so-called "decisive battle" at all, nor was it to capture the city, but to destroy their communication routes.

But even if Neiji Okamura is aware of the strategic goals of the Eighth Route Army, it's useless.

The reason is that traffic routes are difficult to build but easy to destroy. For example, tunnels that have been built for several years only need a few explosives to destroy them, and bridges and railroad tracks are all the same.

And the entire defense system of the devils is based on the traffic routes. Once the traffic is destroyed, their forces cannot be effectively deployed, so they are restrained everywhere.

At this time, Wang Xuexin led his subordinates to cross the devil's highway defense line. Most of the corpses lying on the defense line were devils... The puppet army ran faster than rabbits, and they couldn't catch up even if they tried to catch up.

The devils stayed in place, but they only had a squadron of more than a hundred people, and the puppet troops fled in all directions, leaving many gaps, so the independent regiment rushed up to surround them, and easily devoured the squadron.

The first battalion and the second battalion continued to advance, and the third battalion followed behind while searching for remnants of the enemy while cleaning the battlefield.

Except for a dozen or so houses used by the devils in Nantu Village, the rest of the village has become a piece of scorched earth.

Wang Xuexin led his subordinates to search for more than a dozen houses of the devil one by one.

The search method is to throw a few grenades from the window regardless of Sanqi 21, and then rush in with a gun after a few bangs.

There was almost no one in the room, except that occasionally there were a few puppet soldiers who were wounded and unable to walk, "humming, haha", Wang Xuexin and others stepped forward to give them a few more shots without hesitation.

When searching for the earthen house at the end of the village, something unexpected happened...

When Wang Xuexin and the soldiers threw the grenade before rushing in as usual, they found piles of legal coins inside, and many of them were blown up by the grenade and were flying all over the sky.

Wang Xuexin's eyes were dazzled, he had never seen so much money in his life.
