Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 641 Iron-Blooded Cage (Second Update!)
The result far exceeded Rongjun's expectations.

There were more than 300 people, and more than 200 people were willing to stay and join the Eighth Route Army.Those who decide to leave are basically those whose homes are nearby and have relatives at home.

"You all decided to join the Eighth Route Army?" The prudent Rongjun decided to ask again.

"Joining the Eighth Route Army and fighting devils is our only way to survive!" A prisoner who was obviously the leader stood up and affirmed.

Then he explained: "Sir, you don't know, we originally had more than 300 people. After being caught by the devils and started working as coolies, more than 100 people died in less than half a year. The remaining 200 people are hard-fated, but No one can guarantee how long they can live under the torment of the devils."

"You were right just now. Instead of working as a coolie for the devils and being tortured to death by the devils, it is better to join the Eighth Route Army and beat them to death on the battlefield!"

From what the other party said, Rong Jun was certain that this person was definitely not an ordinary soldier. After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Are you? Why were you captured by devils!"

"Report sir, I am a company commander of the Northwest Army. On the battlefield, the commander ran away, ran out of bullets, and ran out of food. The devils released poison gas again. In the end, I was captured by the devils because I had no strength."

"There are more than 1000 people in the regiment, and there are more than 300 people left. The officers are dead, and they run away. I am the only company commander left!"

"Good brothers! I welcome you on behalf of the Eighth Route Army!" Rong Jun gave everyone an affirmative answer after thinking about it.

As for my heart, I have long been happy.

He knew that he had found the treasure.

Not to mention whether the company commander in front of him is capable or not, he is a hero if he can live and die with his subordinates on the battlefield and never retreat.

As for the more than 200 people behind him who survived the bloody battle with the devils, they were all veterans.Just give them weapons, let them rest well, and they'll be on the battlefield in no time.

The chief of staff of the Japanese Army Brigade Headquarters in Linfen City hesitated for several days, but decided to report to Major General Matsumoto that a large number of them would be attacked in the past few days, but no shadow of the Eighth Route Army could be found.

Because all the people who were attacked were the maintenance society, not a single imperial army, not even a puppet army was killed, the chief of staff has been hesitant to report.

But just now, after the report that more than 300 prisoners were robbed and killed by the Eighth Route Army was sent to him, the chief of staff finally couldn't help it.

The more than 300 captives were all soldiers of the Northwest Army. If they were allowed to hang together with the remnants of the Eighth Route Army and regain their weapons, it would definitely pose a serious threat to the Imperial Army.

After listening to the report, Matsumoto's face instantly became gloomy.

Staring into the eyes of the chief of staff is like breathing fire, very angry.

After a full five seconds, he asked with a sullen face, "Is there any news that the blockade line was attacked by Tuba Road?"

"No!" The chief of staff knew that the head of the brigade was making decisions for himself and was angry for not reporting the news that the maintenance team would be attacked in time.In the face of questioning, he dared not neglect in the slightest, and answered immediately.

"If they were not attacked, how did these Tuba roads escape from the mountain!"

"Didn't the garrison on the blockade report that their blockade was so flawless that even a fly could fly over it? Then where did the Eighth Route Army come from!"

The chief of staff shook his head and replied, "I don't know about that. At that time, I sent a telegram to the garrison on the blockade. I asked them one by one. No one was attacked by the Eighth Route Army. I didn't even see the Eighth Route Army!"

"Idiots, they're all a bunch of stupid pigs. The Eighth Route Army came out, and they told me that they didn't see anything, Bageyalu!" Major General Matsumoto cursed without being polite at all.

At this time, the chief of staff had no choice but to bear with his head down.

Matsumoto seemed to have thought of something: "Can you confirm how many of these Eighth Route Army are attacking our maintenance committee!"

"Yes!" The chief of staff finally gave an affirmative reply.

"There are three Eighth Route Army units in total, and each Eighth Route Army has a dozen or so to twenty soldiers!"

Matsumoto frowned immediately: "There are only more than 50 people in total, which does not match the number of remnants of the new regiment we know!"

"Before our bombing, the Eighth Route Army must have encouraged a large number of prisoners to join them. After the bombing, they tried to break through our blockade, but we repelled them. At that time, the new regiment mobilized at least 200 people!"

The chief of staff immediately reacted: "That is to say, the main force of the remnants of the new regiment is still inside the mountain, and they plan to use the old method to send some troops out of the mountain to fight guerrillas with us outside the mountain. Some people stay behind in the mountain and establish a new army. camp!"

"However, this time we will definitely not be fooled again and let them lead us by the nose!"

Major General Matsumoto's frowning brows slowly relaxed, and after thinking for a while, he began to give orders.

"Remember an order just issued by the headquarters of the Front Army, which requires us to use the iron-blood cage policy to deal with the Eighth Route Army!"

"Although our current policy against the Eighth Route Army has many similarities with the command of the headquarters, it is not iron-blooded enough!"

"Order the garrison on the blockade line to strengthen patrols. You can't just sit back and relax with a blockhouse. I don't want to see another Eighth Route Army pass through their blockade line, whether it is entering or leaving the mountain!"

"Chief of Staff, according to the command of the headquarters, recruit the common people and the prisoners in the city to widen all the roads in Linfen to ensure that the cars and motorcycles equipped by the imperial army can quickly move to every village!"

"Didn't the Eighth Route Army that attacked the maintenance committee disappear after each operation? They must have taken a small path. Therefore, we must strengthen the mobility of the reinforcements and stick to them before they retreat."

"So, I will apply to my superiors for a car transport squadron, strengthen it to all large strongholds and county towns, and ensure that each large stronghold has a reinforced team to achieve mechanization, and arrive at all villages in the jurisdiction within half an hour!"

The chief of staff's eyes lit up, and he immediately complimented: "The general is wise!"

"With a car, the road that would have taken an hour to cover can be reached in 10 minutes. In this case, Tuba Road has no time to attack the maintenance team and then retreat smoothly!"

"There is another benefit!" A mysterious smile suddenly flashed across Major General Matsumoto's face.

"With cars and motorcycles, we can also patrol the roads 24 hours a day and completely control all roads in Linfen."

"And controlling the roads is equivalent to dividing Linfen into small areas. Even if the Eighth Route Army is active in these areas, we can separate them so that they cannot be connected with each other, and then break them one by one!"

"Good idea!" the chief of staff said with emotion.
