Chapter 879: Brush a Wave of Prestige (Medium)

But I'm afraid that Maki Kuno didn't expect that disaster would come like this, and what kind of concept was it that nearly 10,000 people gathered together to be bombarded by artillery? Especially the modern 155mm howitzer, this thing is simply a grim reaper, but the record is outstanding, and the corners of Mr. Peng's mouth, who is on the front line at this moment, are still a little distressed, because in the battle last night, their artillery consumed a total of one base of ammunition!

According to the standard equipment configuration, for every 155 mm howitzer equipped with shells, a base is 50 shells of various types, 80 guns, that is, a full 4,000 shells are consumed. This made Mr. Peng, who was used to living a poor life before, even with a cannon, the number of shells was calculated according to single digits and ten digits, can he not feel distressed? 4,000 shells! Although nearly 10,000 devils have been killed, this is too costly!

You must know that when they came out, each cannon only carried 3 base ammunition, that is to say, one cannon was equipped with three trucks of ammunition, and now one base of ammunition is just consumed. But the effect is also significant...... According to the calculation that a 155-mm howitzer will cover a killing area of about 300 square meters, 4,000 shells are equivalent to covering an area of 1.2 million square meters.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the entire position was plowed by artillery, and now there are all kinds of craters below, but the new first division is not without casualties, the casualties of the new first division are about 273 people, of which 86 are killed, and the rest are basically not in danger of life, and there are more than 20 people missing, but it should be lost or the body has not been found, but it should be a result soon.

However, if such a record were to spread, it would simply blind the eyes of the people of the place, and the casualties of 273 people were exchanged for nearly 15,000 troops of small Japan, even if this battle was a bit of a fluke, it is also a good explanation. When this record was spread, Yan Xishan and the others were directly dumbfounded, and what followed, with a stroke of the chairman's pen, he directly completely electrified this record to the whole country.

When this achievement was known to the whole world, it can be said that all countries were in an uproar, including the entire Nanjing government, and the whole of China! The first thought on everyone's mind when they hear the news is, how is that possible! A Japanese Division A was just wiped out?! And the other side only suffered less than 300 casualties? What kind of ratio is this? This is simply against the sky! But how could the Eighth Route Army have such a strong combat effectiveness! Not to mention that people abroad don't believe it, even people at home don't believe it, but soon they can't help but not believe it.

As the next front line of the domestic war, Taiyuan also gathered some reporters here, and this part of the reporters soon reported the news thoroughly! The report is the situation when the Eighth Route Army passed through Taiyuan at that time! And now, although the vanguard has already passed, but the second batch of troops has also rushed to the Taiyuan side, although there are not so many trucks, but the number of other weapons and equipment, especially artillery, is not bad at all.

Coincidentally, when the 20th Division was annihilated on the side of the new 1st Division, the famous Japanese 5th Division in the north, that is, the division of Okamura Ninji, who was later promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Theater in China, was facing the new 3rd Division that rushed there! The two sides are considered to be encounters, but they are not considered encounters, because the 3rd Division has long been reconnoitred by unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, so the artillery was deployed early, and with the engagement between the two sides, the artillery on this side went directly to the enemy's divisional artillery regiment.

A distance of more than thirty kilometers! The artillery regiment of the Fifth Division where Okamura Ninji was located was directly destroyed, but Okamura Ninji was not killed, this guy's division headquarters was not discovered, and he was also shrewd, and when he received that his divisional artillery regiment was killed, he directly ordered to retreat. But retreating at this time is not so simple, because the two sides are facing each other in the middle of the march, so retreat at this time, and the opponent's artillery can simply chase your ass and bombard.

Fortunately, although the 5th Division on Okamura Ningji's side was the main force, it was also fast, while the 3rd Division was not like He Shuai, a little conservative, so after annihilating more than 3,000 devils, it stopped cleaning up the battlefield. But even so, this battle can be regarded as a solid victory! Because the 3rd Division suffered fewer casualties! Only a dozen soldiers were killed and more than seventy wounded! And more than 1,800 enemies were eliminated and more than 1,200 were captured.

As the saying goes, once can be a fluke, but twice is not a fluke, when this record is also spread, it can be said that the whole of China is a complete sensation! Wiped out 20,000 people close to the devil twice! At this rate, how many people in the whole of Japan could be wiped out?!

If they are all such achievements, what Japanese devils are you afraid of? It can be said that the whole of China was blown up in an instant! And the pressure on the Nanjing government is even greater! There is no way, who let the entire national government not win a single battle before this? And now that the Eighth Route Army has won the battle as soon as it comes up, which is better or worse, does this need to be said? As a result, I don't know how many newspapers in the country are condemning Lao Jiang for spending money where he shouldn't have spent, so much international aid, so many donations, and still losing battles one after another? And what kind of assistance did the Eighth Route Army receive?

Lao Jiang was almost so angry that he fainted, and scolded a few words about Niang Xipi, these idiots! If the strength of the Eight Roads really didn't accept any assistance, was it really so awesome? Was they chasing you in the first place? Isn't the whole of China the other's? Still looking for hiding in Tibet? Was he beaten into that northwest depression?

But ordinary people don't care about that, these newspapers won't analyze this, they can only see two points, your Nanjing government's army can only lose the battle, and it is a sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of people at a time, but what about the Eighth Route Army? Just sacrifice a few hundred people, kill tens of thousands of devils, this is the gap! A solid gap! To be honest, in addition to being angry, Lao Jiang was also frightened.

Although Lao Jiang's current military commanders and central commanders are all over the country, the intelligence has not yet reached such a point, so after Lao Jiang received this information, Lao Jiang was also a little frightened. Because there is a country involved in this, the Chinese Empire! You don't have to think about it to know that the Eighth Road is supported by the Huaxia Empire! Otherwise, the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army could not be so strong, isn't it funny?

But Lao Jiang didn't have any way, because the strength of the Chinese Empire was seen by the whole world, and Lao Jiang also promoted others as China's brothers, and they did it, directly sent a naval fleet to guard the open sea of Pearl City, so that the current Pearl City was peaceful, without experiencing any war, and the Japanese navy directly retreated to the vicinity of the Sea of Japan, and did not dare to go south at all.

Lao Jiang wanted to have other ideas, but how dare he? I didn't dare to let it go if I didn't see the UK, France and the United States, and Liu Fei's declaration announcement before was simply too domineering, so domineering that Lao Jiang admired it a little, and there was no way not to admire it. At least he Lao Jiang didn't have the chance, and he couldn't say something like that. But people dare to say, you say, this is all divided by the Chinese, why is this gap so big?

Lao Jiang was frightened here, and the Japanese were even more frightened, one and a half first-class divisions were directly killed, and the information they had in their hands showed that the enemy had at least dozens of 155 mm caliber cannons in one division, how could this be fought? However, when Okamura Ninji escaped, they still directly discharged the air force to try to save the situation, but these backward World War II planes faced only one result, and they were directly bombarded into a pile of fragments by bullets flying from somewhere.

And then all the front-line airfields were directly bombed, and these bombardments came from a height of thousands of meters, with the destruction of the front-line airfields, the Japanese were even more frightened, all the original offensive plans were canceled, and the Japanese 2nd Division, the 109th Division, the 5th Division that had retreated, and the Japanese divisions in several other directions were fully retracted. All of them retreated to the territory of Hebei and Shandong, reduced the defensive line to a tight line, and began to build fortifications.

Regardless of the mood of Yan Xishan and the others at this moment, even Lao Jiang was frightened, not to mention Yan Xishan, Yan Xishan already had an idea in his heart at this time, that is, to change the sky! After having such a result, Yan Xishan decisively agreed to an idea just put forward by the Yan'an government of the Eighth Route Army, that is, in order to resist Japan and strengthen support for the front-line troops, the Yan'an government should start a large-scale road construction here from the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area.

"Mr. President, this is my next step, and I need your approval." A middle-aged man in his thirties put a document in his hand in front of the chairman with a serious face, and the chairman and Premier Zhou glanced at each other, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Mr. Liu, please don't be polite, you can call me by my name, you don't need to add the word sir, and I said, I grant you full authority to implement these plans, you don't need to report to me." ”

"Work is work, necessary rules are indispensable, and Chairman you are the supreme leader here, and I am just an auxiliary staff officer." The middle-aged man known as Mr. Liu said expressionlessly.

The chairman smiled bitterly and could only look down, but after reading the whole plan, the chairman didn't know what to do with it for a while, and handed over the whole plan to Premier Zhou next to him. Premier Zhou immediately took it and looked at it, and after reading it, Premier Zhou was also a little shocked, but after a long time, he still smiled bitterly and said: "Chairman, you still need to make an idea about this." ”

"It's decided, Mr. Liu, you go and execute it." The chairman directly signed his name on this document, and the middle-aged man bowed slightly and turned around and left. The strongest loser
