Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 614 Japanese Army: The Eighth Route Army's own way out
"Commander, telegram from the Cavalry Regiment!" A guard from the headquarters came galloping on a horse, then got off his horse and handed the telegram to Zhou Weihan.

Zhou Weihan glanced at the telegram quickly, clapped his palms and smiled, "Great, Qinglong has achieved a great victory, and the cavalry regiment wiped out the main force of the fourth cavalry brigade of the Japanese army!"

"Notify the two cavalry regiments that the Japanese and puppet troops are approaching them. The troops will continue to hide in Qinglongji Village, and they will be horns with one regiment. They will persist until the outside troops arrive!"

"In addition, Kuroshima Morita needs to be well protected. I will be of great use in the future, so let the headquarters send a report immediately!" Zhou Weihan directly dictated the contents of the telegram.

"Yes!" The guard led the order and left.

Right now, all the troops are divided into two, which are on the inside line and the outside line respectively. At the same time, the reconnaissance company, as the eyes of the whole army, follows the Japanese army and reports the movements of the Japanese army at any time. Timeliness, Zhou Weihan can make a timely and correct response.

Because the troops were marching, Zhou Weihan had no choice but to think of a stupid way, let Luo Benzhong lead the command staff to the rear, keep a distance from the troops in front, and then pass the telegram through the cavalry.

"Hey, it would be nice to have a few high-power walkie-talkies, so that even if the troops move separately, they can maintain normal communication. Why is it so troublesome now!" Zhou Weihan said distressedly.

"Walkie, what?" Li Yunlong asked.

"It's a field phone without a line!" Zhou Weihan replied.

Although Li Yunlong has never seen a walkie-talkie before, he immediately noticed its function: "That's a good feeling. If you have this thing, the scouts can report the enemy's position to the artillery at any time, and at the same time, the frontline troops can call for artillery support at any time. Where can I get the good stuff?"

"Where to get it? You ask me, who do I ask?" Zhou Weihan said angrily, he just knew that the United States should start producing walkie-talkies now.

The words are divided into two parts.

Although the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops advancing westward had not rushed to the vicinity of Qinglongji, the search teams dispersed by the Japanese army were also not for display.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the search team composed of our cavalry reported that gunshots came from the direction of Qinglongji, but, but." The Japanese officer who was reporting was Maeda Ryota, the captain of the Cavalry Artillery Wing, with the rank of Major.

Seeing the hesitant look on Maeda Ryota's face, Kojima Kichizo said dissatisfiedly: "Maeda-kun, are you going to delay the imperial army's encirclement of the Eighth Route Army? Please speak up if you have something to say!"

"Hey, after hearing the gunshots, our soldiers quickly approached for reconnaissance and found that the cavalry unit led by Mr. Hei Dao was surrounded by the Eighth Route Army and suffered heavy losses. The soldiers of the search team did not dare to neglect and reported quickly!"

"Brigade Commander, this is the original text of the telegram!" Ryota Maeda said, taking out a telegram from the folder.

After Kojima Yoshinori witnessed the contents of the telegram, his eyes turned black for a while. Don’t look at the more than 1000 Japanese troops and appeasement troops under his command, but the more than [-] elite members of the Fourth Cavalry Brigade are his direct descendants. .

It's just that I didn't expect that on the first day when troops were sent to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army, the elite cavalry were all lost.

"Bageyalu, Kuroshima Morita, this trash, must have been greedy for meritorious deeds, he deserves to die!" Kojima Kichizo roared angrily.

The adjutant at the side and Ryota Maeda were silent. Except for Yoshihiro Araki, the chief of staff of the Japanese army who was ordered to stay in Shangqiu, no one dared to step forward to touch this bad luck at this time.

"Give me an order, the headquarters of the imperial army and the appeasement army will speed up their march and gather around Qinglong with all their strength!"

"Brigade commander, our department is still more than [-] miles away from Qinglongji. With the mobility of the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army, I'm afraid we won't stay where we are!" the adjutant said bravely.

"Then inform the reconnaissance plane at Xinxiang Airport to cooperate with the ground troops to carry out reconnaissance around Qinglongji. I don't believe that the Eighth Route Army can hide underground?" Kojima Yoshizang was like a red-eyed gambler, ignoring the obstruction of his subordinates, insisting on continuing March.

"Hi!" The adjutant could only respond helplessly.

Under the strict order of Kojima Yoshizang, even the marching speed of the appeasement army was significantly increased. With the cooperation of the ground search team and reconnaissance planes, the Japanese army quickly discovered the suspected main force of the Eighth Route Army hiding in the mountains near Qinglongji.

At around [-]:[-] that afternoon, the Japanese Army Headquarters arrived at the south side of the forest where the First Regiment was located, the [-]th Division of the Appeasement Army arrived at the west of the forest, and the [-]th Division was located between the east of the forest and Qinglongji.

The headquarters of the Japanese army is located inside.

"Taijun, the Eighth Route Army in the opposite mountain forest has no intention of retreating. It seems to be standing still and waiting for reinforcements. Do you want to attack immediately?" asked Mi Liangyuan, commander of the [-]th Division of the Appeasement Army.

The people present, including Kojima Jizang, were a little confused why the Eighth Route Army did not take the initiative to retreat before the Japanese army surrounded them.

Sun Liangcheng, who sat at the head on the right hand, was thinking about it. Although he didn't understand the real intention of the Eighth Route Army, Sun Liangcheng knew that Zhou Weihan never did useless work.

Could it be that Zhou Weihan really wanted to take down the appeasement army and the Japanese army in one go?In Sun Liangcheng's mind came an idea that he himself thought was absurd.

"Taijun, our department requests an immediate attack on the Eighth Route Army's position!" Mi Liangyuan volunteered again. This guy is Zhang Lanfeng's confidant. Although Sun Liangcheng has been recruited in name, he has always been self-reliant.

Mi Liangyuan understands that the Japanese letting Sun Liangcheng take control of the military power is only an expedient measure, the result of a compromise between all parties.

In terms of relationship, Mi Liangyuan is closer to Kojima Kizang. As long as he pleases Kojima Kizang, he may not be able to be in power like Zhang Lanfeng in the future, with great power in his hands.

"Misang, please be safe. Now the Eighth Route Army has been surrounded by our army on three sides, and the terrain on the north side of the opposite mountain forest is steep. The Eighth Route Army is the only way out!" Kojima Jizang glanced at Mi Liangyuan, who was so courteous, with satisfaction. But still don't forget to boost morale.

"Gentlemen, the appeasement army is the main force to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army this time. You need to order your subordinates to actively fight against the Eighth Route Army. As long as you can wipe out the main force of the Eighth Route Army in front of you, the Imperial Army will definitely reward you!" Kojima Kichizang looked around and sat in the tent A group of senior officers of the appeasement army and Japanese advisers said.

"Hey, brigade commander, we will personally supervise the operations of the appeasement army!" Several Japanese consultants responded first.

Mi Liangyuan followed closely and echoed, but the expressions of the other officers of the appeasement army were different. After all, not everyone was willing to let their hands go to the front as cannon fodder.

Kichizo Kojima had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions, and he was annoyed at the non-cooperation of some appeasement army officers in his heart. In normal times, Yoshizo Kojima would never say a word, and those who did not cooperate were directly pulled out and killed, but right now It is the occasion of employing people.

"Of course, the strength of the appeasement army cannot be wasted in encircling and suppressing the Eighth Route Army. In the future, the counties in southwestern Shandong will still need the appeasement army to maintain law and order!"

"Air support will arrive soon, and the mountain forest on the opposite side will be turned into a sea of ​​flames. It will not be too late for the infantry to advance inward!"
