All gods, the lord who started with the bright sword

Chapter 103, Yoshida Osamu who is determined to go his own way 【Subscription】

"Taijun, the whole village is here, or should they all be taken back like before?"

Zhang Jinxing, head of the Imperial Association Army with a flattering face, is reporting to his master, Captain Yoshida of the Fourth Brigade.

All the people in the five villages they raided and surrounded before were taken away and taken into the "tribe" under construction.

It is said that this is an order from above, and Zhang Jinxing, who is a dog's leg, can only follow it.As for why the Japanese did this, he didn't dare to ask a word.

Captain Yoshida is short and short, with a pair of bowed legs, his image is simply unbearable to look at directly.

Of course, the promotion of officers is not a beauty contest, as long as they have the ability to fight, it is enough.

Yoshida Colonel's face is full of cruelty and determination. He is an old-fashioned soldier who regards death in battle as an honor.

A person who doesn't even take his own life seriously will naturally not take other people's lives seriously.

I just got a telegram from the rear, and learned that the tribe built, under the rapid action of the whole alliance, has captured more than 5000 ordinary people, and the tribe has no more people to let go.

Therefore, Colonel Yoshida ordered without hesitation: "There is no need to take these people back, they are all dead!"

"Dead, dead?" Zhang Jinxing was stunned for a moment: "Taijun, have dozens of people in this village been killed?"

His hesitation made the Japanese doubt his loyalty.

Yoshida Dazuo stared at him viciously: "You, do it, they are all dead!"

"Hi, hi, I will do it right away." Zhang Jinxing quickly agreed.

He is well aware of the moodiness of the Japanese, and if he agrees a little slower, the big ear may come.

Accompanied by a burst of intensive gunfire, more than 100 corpses lay down at the entrance of the village.The whole village, men, women, old and young, all fell under the guns of the Imperial Association Army.

The billowing black smoke from the burning of village houses can still be clearly seen more than ten miles away.

Grand Master Yoshida watched those Chinese people killing each other calmly, and despised those traitorous guys in his heart.

However, that's exactly what he wanted to see.

With the blood of their comrades on their hands, and handing in a certificate to cut off their own way of retreat, these people will be determined to fight with their Imperial Japanese Army.

Mr. Yoshida stood under the big tree, wiping his beloved ancestral item—a chrysanthemum saber bestowed by Emperor Meiji.

The handle of this knife is inlaid with gold, a chrysanthemum pattern that symbolizes the Japanese royal family, shining brightly in the spring sun.

The only thing that makes him dissatisfied is that the fringe of the knife is still maroon, when will he be able to change into the red-yellow of the general, and make himself the glory of the family!
"That guy Kazuki Yamamoto is very popular with the commander. If he had any credit, he would have been promoted to major general long ago."

Yoshida Colonel thought with some envy.

A khaki military truck drove from the rear and stopped at the entrance of the village.

Kazuki Yamamoto stepped down from the driver's seat, and saw Mr. Yoshida waiting under the big tree at a glance, and he stepped forward to salute and say hello.

Without too many pleasantries, Kazuki Yamamoto went straight to the point and directly expressed his attitude: "Yoshida-kun, your alliance must stop and let other troops follow."

In this big sweep, the Japanese army dispatched more than 30,000 people, together with the [-] imperial alliance troops, to form a pincer offensive to sweep the net.

Sweeping should be carried out in parallel, and the entire line must be airtight, so that it is difficult for Balu to take advantage of the loopholes and escape.

The other troops proceeded according to plan, except that the Yoshida Regiment advanced too fast and formed a salient.

Not only did the entire line of defense have loopholes, but it also exposed its weaknesses, making it easy to be surrounded by the enemy and fall into isolation.

The headquarters sent two telegrams to urge the change, but Yoshida turned a deaf ear to it and continued to go his own way.

Kazuki Yamamoto had no choice but to supervise in person.

But his unceremonious attitude stung Yoshida Colonel's heart, and his complexion became even more gloomy:

"Master Yamamoto, you and I are at the same level of military rank, and my alliance has completed the established mopping up mission. I'm afraid you don't have the right to judge me!"

Kazuki Yamamoto is an extremely proud guy, he knows very well that the other party doesn't show his face, and he has nothing to do.

With a tough request, it must be difficult for Yoshida to do as he said.

Soft words and persuasion may work.

But he is not a soft-spoken person.

Kazuki Yamamoto warned coldly: "Master Yoshida, your alliance is too far ahead, and there is a risk of being surrounded by the Eight Routes.

Even if they were separated from the entire front, the fastest support of a large group of troops would take eight hours. "

Chief Yoshida sneered and said, "If the Eighth Route Army dares to encircle my alliance, I would like to thank you for your good words. Give me a chance to annihilate the main force of the Eighth Route Army and make great contributions."

His alliance has more than [-] people, which is not as good as the first-class main force of Sakata Alliance, and it is also a top existence among the second-line security forces.

The fighting power of the Tuba Road was as poor as their weapons and equipment. The imperial army fought three with one, and five with ease.

The really difficult part of the Eighth Route Army is that they run too fast, and there is no chance of a decisive battle with them.

So Chief Yoshida was not afraid that the Eight Routes would surround him, and it was a good thing that he came here. It would give him a chance to eliminate the Eight Routes in a decisive battle, adding to his credit for being promoted to a major general.

"Another guy who has been dazzled by military achievements."

Kazuki Yamamoto could tell from Yoshida Colonel's expression.

Doesn't this guy know about the destruction of the Yamazaki Brigade?

Yamamoto warned coldly: "It has been proven that the Eighth Route Army has a heavy artillery regiment.

If you still insist on going your own way, or you will pay a terrible price for it, it is best to be mentally prepared.

That's all, I'll go back and wait for your news. "

After all, he stopped persuading, turned around and got on the truck, kicked the accelerator and left, leaving only billowing smoke and dust. "

Colonel Yoshida's eyes were full of contempt, and he thought to himself: "The Eighth Route Heavy Artillery Regiment, are you scaring me with this?
A cannon weighs several tons and is extremely difficult to transport.They would only add to my credit if they showed up. "

The roads in the mountainous area are narrow, and many places cannot even be driven in. There are several tons of heavy artillery, and there is no truck to haul them out. With the transportation capacity of the Japanese army, it will be a headache.

Once he showed up, Ba Lu couldn't go far with such a heavy cannon, and would only be caught up and eaten by the imperial army.

Is the Eighth Route Army willing to take such a risk?
Mr. Yoshida didn't believe it anyway, and even if he encountered him, he still had a coping strategy, just call for air support.

In order to complete this sweeping mission, the command dispatched two air brigades, which can provide air support to any ground force within two hours.

If he was afraid of the so-called heavy artillery regiment, Colonel Yoshida would laugh at himself.

"Sir, it's time to eat."

The adjutant brought a meal, seaweed sushi, roasted chicken legs, and a vegetable miso soup.

Mr. Yoshida took it with a blank expression: "Pass me the order, the meal time is 10 minutes, and we will leave immediately after eating."

He wants to create an opportunity for the Eighth Route Army, a chance that the Eighth Route Army thinks is a good opportunity, but in fact it will bring them into a desperate situation.

The next village to be raided is Wudaokou Village.

……

"Lao Li, the common people have all moved, what should we do next?"

He just commanded the people in the village to move urgently into the mountain.

After finishing the work at hand, Zhao Gang came to Li Yunlong for advice.He has been working for several years, but after all, he has no experience in commanding troops to deal with major raids.

In such a matter that determines the fate of thousands of people, experienced veteran comrades have to be the masters.

With bull's eyes, Li Yunlong stared at the map on the stone table at the entrance of the village.

A series of blue arrows symbolizing the Japanese army formed a raised half circle and headed towards the base.

"Even though we took action immediately after getting the news, we were still one step too late." Li Yunlong described a fact in a flat tone.

The company that set out first launched an intelligence investigation and sent the news back.

There are more than 30 villages covered by blue arrows on the map, and black smoke is everywhere, and no one is spared.

From the mouths of ordinary people who escaped by chance, they learned that the Japanese army was more brutal this time than before. They would burn people's houses when they saw them, rape and plunder all kinds of crimes.

People in most of the villages were forcibly taken away. It is still unknown where they will be taken and what fate they will meet.

Only one thing is certain, with the brutal style of the Japanese army, those ordinary people who were taken away will end up miserable.

"Old Li, you have to look forward to everything. The most important thing for you now is to find a way. What exactly should our independent group do?
How to cover the retreat of the people who have been transferred, or break out?You are the leader of the group, you have to make up your mind! "Zhao Gang urged eagerly.

Now the fire is imminent. Others don't have to have any ideas. As the leader of the group, Li Yunlong must shoulder the responsibility.

"What's the reminder? I'm thinking." Li Yunlong replied impatiently.

This time the sweep was more urgent than any previous one.The ferocity of the Japanese army was completely beyond his expectation.

In particular, the brutality of the Japanese army added a great burden to the Eighth Route Army.

The ordinary people who have just been transferred can't go very fast.With the current speed of the Japanese army, it is easy to catch up, and the result is obvious.

Unarmed ordinary people will be brutally massacred by the Japanese army.

Then, in order for the common people to move to the mountains smoothly, their Eighth Route Army must stand up and stop the advance of the Japanese army.

How to stop the Japanese army, how to pay the least price to get the most benefit?

Because of the acquisition of a large number of new equipment, the whole regiment took on a completely new look. Li Yunlong had to reconsider, and could not completely follow the past experience.

Chen Hao, who stared at the map for a long time, suddenly asked: "Old Li, how much do you think the devils will use in this big sweep?"

Li Yunlong's train of thought was interrupted. If someone else did it, he must have been annoyed a long time ago.

But since this person is Chen Hao, he had no choice but to hold back the cursing words, thought for a while and replied:

"If you don't mobilize troops from other places, the Japanese army will use a maximum of [-] troops, and add another [-] to the imperial alliance."

Zhao Gang couldn't help interjecting and asked, "Why? How did you come to your conclusion?"

Li Yunlong said: "Because the little devils in Shanxi are only in their early [-], so many strongholds in county towns still have to be guarded, mobilizing half of the troops is the limit."

[-] plus [-], no, the combat power of the Imperial Association Army is enough to meet the previous Eighth Route Army, but it can only be regarded as a lamb waiting to be slaughtered when it meets the Eighth Route Army that has now changed its guns.

Therefore, the actual number of enemies should be at most [-].

The number of the Eighth Route Army, the main regiment plus the local county brigades, district squads, and guerrilla militias within the scope of the Japanese army's raids was about 50,000 people.

And the main force that really has the ability to fight the Japanese army frontally is more than 20,000 people.

This is what the boss told Chen Hao.

Therefore, on the surface, the numbers of the two sides are about the same, but in fact the combat effectiveness of the two sides is very different.

This is why the Japanese army dared to act recklessly in a sweeping posture.

But everything will change after the equipment of Chen Hao's division is in place.

"There are many ways to destroy the Japanese army's mopping up, and it is not the only way to divert and break through. It is also a way to defeat the Japanese army's mopping up troops and make a big hole in the entire fishing net."

Chen Hao boldly put forward an idea, which stunned Li Yunlong.

How dare you think about defeating the Japanese army and mopping up the troops all the way!

Li Yunlong couldn't help saying to himself: "With the current situation of our Eighth Route Army, can it be done?"

"Don't add "?", only three words can be done."

Chen Hao pointed to the two most protruding arrows on the map: "Leader Li, after eating ten to twenty thousand devils, an independent regiment doesn't have much appetite.

But to eat his infantry brigade, I think the independent regiment, all holding eight one bars, should be very sure.

The weapon I brought is not a fire stick. I have won the best resources for the independent group, but it is not for nothing.

The independent group has to come up with some results to prove my vision. "

Li Yunlong also noticed just now, that prominent sweeping force.

According to the information obtained, that is, the size of a brigade of seven 800 people is similar to that of the Yamazaki brigade that was wiped out by them.

To be honest, he was also very moved.

The independent regiment's equipment is really good now, so find a worthy opponent to practice with, and give this batch of weapons and equipment a first-hand look, so that the soldiers can also become proficient.

However, the Japanese army in the surrounding area can arrive for support within two hours at most. Can their independent regiment be sure to eat a brigade of devils before the enemy supports them?
If they failed to eat it and made it into raw rice, and were surrounded by reinforcements, then their independent regiment would be in trouble.

"Zhang Dabiao, where is Kong Jie's new second regiment now?"

"It should be at Three Trees." Zhang Dabiao listened to their conversation just now, and guessed: "Leader, do you want them to call for help?

However, even if we send someone to send a message to tell them to rush over, it will take at least five hours. "

Li Yunlong stared like a copper bell: "Then send someone to notify immediately. Didn't you hear that Consultant Chen wanted to see the performance of our independent group?
I, Li Yunlong, am bold once today, lay an ambush, and eat this little devil in two hours. "

Zhao Gang became anxious as soon as he heard it, and it is a taboo to be angry: "Old Li, you can't be impulsive!"

PS: Ask for recommendation tickets, ask for monthly tickets, and all kinds of requests.
