Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1274 Broken Dreams (Second Update!)

Lieutenant General Kato is in a very good mood now.

He finally didn't have to go any further. After more than ten days of confrontation with the Eighth Route Army, he realized that even if he had an advantage in troops and firepower, and could even recruit planes at any time, it was impossible for him to fight guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare with the Eighth Route Army. Opponent of the Eighth Route Army.

Under such circumstances, what Kato looks forward to most is to fight a positional battle with the Eighth Route Army.

God takes great care of me, and he will do whatever he thinks.

The front army really came with an order to stop carrying on their backs and directly occupy Linfen City.At the same time, he sent troops to teach the Jinsui army behind him, and grabbed the food prepared by the Jinsui army as a food supply for himself to stay in the southwestern part of Shanxi.

"Division commander, the forward troops report that the road leading to Linfen will be completely repaired in one hour!" A combat staff officer rushed over to report.

"Very good, order the vanguard to deploy an infantry squadron to advance to the city to ensure the safety of Linfen City!" Kato Division ordered with a smile on his face.

"The Eighth Route Army is too cunning. No one can guarantee whether they will prepare any conspiracy for us in Linfen City. We must take precautions and prevent all possible accidents before they happen!"

"Hi! The humble officer is going to give orders now!" The combat staff officer rushed out of the tent like a wind.

After walking for less than 5 minutes, the chief of staff rushed in with a smile on his face.

"Division commander, the troops that traded with the Jinsui Army are back!"

"They severely damaged a main division of the Shanxi-Sui Army with more than 600 casualties, not to mention taking back all 1000 million catties of grain, and seized all the weapons and equipment that can arm at least 4000 people!"

"Yoxi...very good!" The smile on Lieutenant General Kato's face became wider.

"With these weapons and equipment, we can form four more regiments of the Royal Association Army!"

"Chief of Staff, the next thing we need to do is to enter Linfen City, and then set up the city defenses before dark to meet the Eighth Route Army's attack at night!"

"After dawn tomorrow, I really want to know what kind of expression the commander of the Eighth Route Army will have when he sees that we don't intend to leave Linfen~ Surprised, or regret giving up Linfen City to us~"

The chief of staff said, "This time we will definitely surprise them!"

"Papa papa... da da da..."

Suddenly, a burst of gunfire came from the vanguard.

Lieutenant General Kato frowned and his face returned to calm. He directly took these gunshots as the Eighth Route Army's surprise attack on the vanguard.

However, the gunfire that should have stopped in an instant continued for nearly 2 minutes and has not stopped.

"What's going on, what are the vanguard troops doing? Why didn't they fight back? Why hasn't the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack troops been killed after so long!" Lieutenant General Kato frowned again, and cursed at a staff officer.

Before the staff officer had time to speak, a lieutenant communications officer rushed in!

"Sir, we were fooled. Linfen City is not an empty city, and a large number of Eighth Route Army troops are stationed in it!"

"An infantry squadron sent by the vanguard was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army when it entered the city, and the entire army was wiped out!"

"Nani?" Lieutenant General Kato was startled by the news.

Just now, he was still discussing with the chief of staff what would happen to the commander of the Eighth Route Army after the troops took over Linfen City.

The gunshots and reports in front of him were like a resounding eight chapters, telling Lieutenant General Kato that it was time to wake up from his dream.

The Eighth Route Army did not abandon Linfen City. The Kato division wanted to enter Linfen City and would not go away. It had to attack Linfen City from the Eighth Route Army.

"How many Eighth Route Army garrisons are there in Linfen City!" Kato, who quickly calmed down, stared at the communications officer and asked.

"The humble position is not clear, but judging from the firepower of the ambush our attacking troops, at least one battalion!"

Lieutenant General Kato did not speak with a sullen face, and analyzed after glancing at the watch on his wrist.

"There are still five hours before the retreat of the air force after dark. Now that we have no heavy artillery, the only thing we can rely on is the air force. Therefore, we must take Linfen City within five hours!"

"It takes one hour to repair the road, another hour to kill the troops, and three hours to actually attack. The time is too short!"

"So, we can't wait for the road to be repaired before killing it!"

"Order, Jingtian Squadron, all mountain artillery squadrons, mortar squadrons, and heavy machine gun squadrons belonging to the three regiments, set off immediately, and go to Linfen City with me, and march forward quickly. After arriving in Linfen City, directly under the cover of aviation Launch an attack, before dark, we must take Linfen no matter what!"

"Humble job, let's arrange it now!" The chief of staff quickly replied.

In Linfen City, less than 500 meters away from the city wall, in a very inconspicuous courtyard, more than a dozen staff signal soldiers came in and out, continuously sending information from the city defense fortifications to a house next to the courtyard.

Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong, First Battalion Commander Xiong Changhe, and Second Battalion Commander Xiao Yunshan are now pointing and discussing something next to the huge city defense map.

"Chief of staff, an infantry squadron of the Japanese vanguard has been wiped out by us, and none of them slipped through the net!" A staff officer suddenly rushed over and reported.

Xiong Changhe shouted happily: "Chief of Staff, this is a good start for our defense of Linfen City!"

"I suggest that in the next battle of defending the city, as long as there are not many little devils attacking, we will let them in to fight, and give the little devils two more battles of annihilation!"

Xiao Yunshan next to him said, "I agree!"

"Except for us last night, the other troops that participated in the battle killed quite a few little devils. Now it's our turn to kill, at least one of the little devils from the regiment must be killed!"

Xiong Changhe replied arrogantly: "Old Xiao, your appetite is too small."

"We have so many troops, plus Linfen City's fortifications are so strong, how can a group of little devils be enough for so many of our troops!"

"I think we have to kill at least two little devils from the two regiments in this battle!"

Zhong Chenggong didn't have much smile on his face.

Killing a squadron of devils is like pulling out a hair on the entire Kato division, so that they don't feel pain.

Seeing that Xiong Changhe was getting more and more exaggerated, he couldn't help reminding: "Don't be careless, the devil Kato Division is not a vegetarian."

"Although there is no heavy artillery now, they still have aircraft reinforcements, and their strength should not be underestimated!"

"Buzzing..."

As soon as the words were finished, the huge roar of the engine sounded above their heads.

Then I saw the guard company commander rushing in: "Chief of Staff, three Japanese planes are conducting low-altitude reconnaissance of Linfen City!"

"It really means that Cao Cao Cao Cao will be here, order the troops, pay attention to concealment~ No troops can enter the position until the Japanese army begins to attack!"

"Although the fortifications of Linfen City are very strong, they can only withstand the shelling of mountain artillery. A bomb dropped by the little devil's plane can destroy those fortifications in an instant!"
