Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 158

After listening to Iijima Mori's defense, Shinozuka Yoshio scolded with dissatisfaction on his face: "Haga! Yamazaki Zhihei wants to share my worries? If he really wants to share my worries, he should focus on defense at this time, not Go privately to the areas controlled by the Eighth Route Army and go to the countryside to raid!"

"Don't think I don't know, Yamazaki Zhihei has always been arrogant and conceited because of his royal blood! This action is clearly for his own selfishness!

It means that he is dead, otherwise, I will not let him go because of his big plan that may affect me! "

Chief of Staff Toshi Miyano comforted him from the side: "Your Excellency, calm down, I think there is nothing wrong with Yamazaki-kun's plan.

Because the biggest difficulty for the imperial army to destroy the Eighth Route Army of China has never been how strong their combat effectiveness is, but that they cannot be found! "

"If Yamazaki-kun's battle plan can be successfully launched and completed, it will actually be extremely beneficial to your plan."

"It's a pity that the Yamazaki Brigade failed to hold on until the reinforcements arrived and the whole army was destroyed. This is the biggest reason for this failure!"

After a pause, Miyano Toshi continued: "I'm very curious, the 5th Battalion of the Imperial Army clearly defended against danger, but why it lasted less than 5 hours before being wiped out by the Eighth Route Army of China."

"We know the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army of China. They don't have heavy firepower weapons at all. The 5th Battalion is defending on the Lijiapo. type of attack."

"So, even if the 5th Battalion of the Imperial Army can't wipe out the attacking Eighth Route Army, there shouldn't be any problem with self-protection, right?"

What Jun Miyano didn't know was that the Yamazaki Brigade didn't even last for two hours. The reason why the report of the 29th Brigade said five hours was counted from the moment they received the call for help.

At that time, the Independent Battalion had not yet launched an attack on the Yamazaki Brigade.

After a pause, Toshi Miyano asked Mori Iijima again: "By the way, Mr. Iijima, which unit of the Eighth Route Army of China is besieging the Fifth Brigade?"

Iijima Mori: "Returning to the Chief of Staff, it is not yet clear which Eighth Route Army is besieging the 5th Battalion of the Imperial Army, but what is certain is that the target of the 5th Battalion's mopping up at that time was the defense area of ​​the Eighth Route Army's Xinyi Regiment."

"Some time ago, the New First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army sneaked around the strongholds of the Imperial Army, causing heavy losses to the Imperial Army. Therefore, Mr. Yamazaki thought about destroying the New First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army in order to wash away the damage it brought to the Japanese Imperial Army. shame, so as to share the worries for Your Excellency the Commander."

Killing intent flashed in Shinozuka Yoshio's eyes, and he slapped the chessboard in front of him again, "Baga! It's this nasty new one again!"

"Originally, I just regarded him as a clown, but I didn't expect him to provoke my patience again and again!"

Miyano Jun: "Your Excellency, Commander, what should we do now, should we immediately send troops to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army's Xinyi Regiment?
Otherwise, if it continues to develop, it will become a disaster sooner or later, and it may even affect our plan in half a month. "

Shinozuka Yoshio has gradually recovered his composure from his anger, he pondered for a moment and said: "No, it is not the time to deal with the new regiment, if we send troops to deal with the new regiment now, even if we can wipe it out, It will definitely arouse the vigilance of other Chinese Eighth Route Army.

At that time, it will not be so easy to injure it again! "

"It took us a long time to invite the observation group from the Front Army. During this period of time, there is absolutely no room for any mistakes. Everything will be discussed after the observation group's investigation is over!"

"Hi Yi!"

Miyano Jun nodded heavily.

During this period of time, the Yamamoto Special Service Team has not executed the decapitation of the Xinyi Regiment and the Independent Battalion, and it is also preparing for this matter. After all, after the incidents in Maple Leaf Ridge and Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp, the strength of the Yamamoto Special Service Team has been greatly affected. weakened.

If the strength cannot be restored as soon as possible, it will be difficult to play its due role in the next combat missions.

……

The screen is pulled back to Wangjia Village, the headquarters of the independent battalion.

After dinner, Wang Chengzhu immediately called the main cadres in the camp and held a summary meeting.

"In today's battle, all the companies performed very well, especially the first company. When the devils were about to enter the village to persecute the people, they arrived in time, and this prevented the tragedy from happening."

During the meeting, Wang Chengzhu first affirmed the performance of each company in today's battle.

Then the voice changed and continued: "However, through today's incident, I also saw the shortcomings of our base."

"That is, it is very difficult for the villagers to resist in the face of the devil's raid, so we must also arm the common people!"

"Just like today, if the militia team in Dongyang Village didn't delay for a while, the consequences would be disastrous."

Tian Shuisheng, the commander of the second company, is a veteran. After listening to the words of the battalion commander Wang Chengzhu, he immediately nodded deeply and said: "Yes! The battalion commander is right. Today we can prevent the tragedy from happening in time. It has a lot to do with it, but more importantly, the militia in Dongyang Village stopped the devils and bought a certain amount of time for the company."

"I have to say that Battalion Commander Zhang is still very far-sighted!"

Everyone also nodded. Although the militia did not kill many devils, their importance is self-evident.

Wang Chengzhu glanced around, and said: "So, I plan to take out 500 rifles first, and arm the common people near our base."

"You also know that there are many ordinary people who cannot become professional soldiers because of various reasons such as supporting the elderly or raising children.

If these ordinary people can also be armed and trained to become militiamen, it will also be a huge force. "

"When they are busy, they are ordinary people, working in the fields; when they are free, they can do some simple military training; and once the devils are mopping up, they can take up weapons and become soldiers!"

"In this way, the common people have their own armed forces, and they can avoid tragedies in many cases."

"I agree!"

"I agree too!"

The cadres of the independent battalion expressed their approval one after another.

Wang Chengzhu: "Well, since everyone has no objection, then this matter has been decided."

"Sister Cuihua, go and count up the list of ordinary people who are willing to be militiamen. If there are women who want to be militiamen, it is also possible."

"Yes!"

Wang Cuihua stood up and promised loudly.

She was not dissatisfied with Wang Chengzhu for letting women serve as soldiers. On the contrary, this just showed that women were also valued by the Eighth Route Army.

Women can also hold up half the sky. This is not a slogan shouted by the Eighth Route Army, but it has been put into practice.

With guns, women also have a certain amount of resistance when facing little devils, instead of being slaughtered by little devils like before.
