Chapter 517: The Victory of the Anti-Sweep

When Chu Yifei's Stinger team achieved fruitful results, other teams also gained a lot, they either ambushed the Japanese army and annihilated the fleeing enemy in a hurry; or stormed the bunkers and fortifications left by the devils on the mountain roads, and swept them away with a devastating force; or outflanked in a roundabout way, cut off the back road of the devil, and all of them fought impressively, and they also had outstanding results.

It can be said that the arrival of the flood caused the devil troops in Niujiawa to suffer a catastrophe, and also made Huxiaoling get a golden opportunity.

As the main force of this sweep, the 8th and 18th brigades of the Japanese army were independently mixed because they were located in the depths of the depression, where the terrain was flat, and there was no shelter around to block the flood, so the losses were particularly serious, and the tens of thousands of soldiers of the two brigades were able to survive the flood in the end, no more than 2,000 people were able to survive the flood, and heavy weapons and means of transport were completely lost.

Gathering the remnants, the remaining unit commanders of the two brigades discussed it, and felt that it was too much for them to continue to stay here at the current point, so they commanded the troops to quickly withdraw to Tieling County.

Niujiawa had been flooded and had become a flood, and the muddy road was difficult to walk, so the two broken brigades made a detour along the hills on one side to prepare for a detour back to Tieling County.

However, under the monitoring of the microsatellite, their route of action was clearly displayed on the big screen of the Tiger Roaring Ridge base, and Luo Xiao naturally mobilized the troops accordingly and fought a beautiful ambush battle on the way.

In this battle, the two brigades of the devil were almost completely wiped out, and in the end less than 1,000 troops were able to escape back, the brigade commander of the 18th brigade was killed, and the brigade commander of the 8th brigade was captured.

Originally, the brigade commander of the 8th Brigade was Major General Okamoto, but he was killed by Chu Yifei and them in the revenge operation not long ago, and the newly appointed brigade commander had not been in office for a month and became a prisoner again.

In this way, the troops who participated in this sweep of the devils died and fled, and the sweep was a complete failure.

Luo Xiao sat in the headquarters of Tiger Roaring Ridge, listening to the battle reports of various combat units, almost all of them were good news, and there were a lot of snowflakes flying in.

This time, Tiger Roaring smashed the siege of the devils, not only relieved the plight of the base, but also made the influence quickly spread throughout the western Liaoxi area, and even the entire Fengtian Province knew about it.

Before this, people felt that Tiger Roaring Ridge was at most a small group of anti-Japanese forces, and like the anti-Japanese volunteers, they couldn't resist the pressure of the devils.

This time, the devils dispatched tens of thousands of troops to besiege Tiger Roaring Ridge, and many people were not optimistic about Tiger Roaring Ridge, thinking that they might not be able to hold on, and in the end it would be difficult to escape the result of being exterminated.

But the final result was a big surprise, Tiger Roaring Ridge not only broke the sweep of the devils, but also made the tens of thousands of troops who participated in the sweep able to escape in the end, less than 10,000.

Compared with the defeat of the Northeast Army against the Japanese army some time ago, this victory at Tiger Roaring Ridge greatly encouraged people's confidence and shattered the "myth" of the invincibility of the Japanese devils.

In less than a month after the sweep of the devils, a large number of anti-Japanese teams emerged in the three eastern provinces, with dozens of people in these teams, as many as thousands, and the members were also in various shapes, and there were all kinds of people, but there was only one goal, that is, to fight the devils.

For a time, the three eastern provinces formed a spark that could ignite the prairie fire.

The Japanese troops in the three provinces of Mukden, Jilin, and Heilongjiang were busy every day, constantly being sent out to suppress bandits, or to deal with the anti-Japanese troops, and they were tossed and turned.

As for the culprit of this incident, the Huxiaoling base, the Japanese had no strength to deal with it for the time being, so they had to temporarily clean up and hold dozens of nearby county towns, trying to stop Luo Xiao and his outward expansion.

After the sweep, the Tiger Roaring Ridge base behaved very low-key, without a large-scale expansion of troops and territory, but reduced the number of troops, and there was no movement, which made many people puzzled.

Some of the big forces in western Liaoning were all talking about it, speculating about what Tiger Roaring was giving up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You must know that taking advantage of the momentum of the great victory, Tiger Roaring Ridge can expand its army and recruit troops, seize more territory, and expand its power rapidly.

However, although I don't know what the purpose of such a low-key Tiger Roaring Ridge is, no force dares to provoke Tiger Roaring Ridge.

Even the tens of thousands of elite troops of the Japanese army can be defeated, isn't it difficult to find a way to provoke them?

As for the Japanese army, the 2nd Division stationed in the northeast and even the division commander Tamen Jiro were captured, and the remaining troops were leaderless, and they could not organize any powerful attacks for the time being. After urgent consultations, the Kwantung Army Headquarters decided to transfer the newly formed 39th Division and the 41st Division to the northeast, and while strengthening local control, it was preparing to launch a second sweep of Tiger Roaring Ridge at an appropriate opportunity.

However, for the time being, the Japanese army did not intend to provoke Tiger Roaring Ridge, lest he take this opportunity to stir up any more storms.

The Kwantung Army also had no choice, because of the changes in the situation in the northeast, the Nanjing Nationalist Government, which was already a little dead, was ready to move again, and once again submitted a complaint to the League of Nations, asking them to urge the Japanese army to withdraw from the three eastern provinces and return them to China.

At the same time, the Republic of Tsarist Russia also sent the 1st Far Eastern Panzer Division to camp in Kampalin, which is adjacent to China, and there is a great possibility that it may enter the northeast at any time.

The Japanese never take this polar bear, which is located in the northernmost part of the Eurasian continent, lightly aware of the country's power and must be careful to deal with it.

At this time, if the Tiger Roaring Ridge is cleared again, if it falls into a stalemate, it is very likely that it will lead to the whole body, which will make the situation in the three eastern provinces more and more complicated, which is unfavorable to the Japanese who have now controlled the three eastern provinces.

Although the Japanese did not really take the League of Nations to heart, they also knew that they still had to give some face on the surface, so during the period when the League of Nations was investigating again, they should try their best to create a prosperous and stable situation in the three eastern provinces, so as to create more favorable public opinion for themselves.

It is precisely because of the entanglement of many factors that the Japanese have slowed down the encirclement and suppression of Tiger Roaring Ridge, which has also made Tiger Roaring Ridge get a good period of development.

If the Japanese knew that their relaxation had made the overall strength of Huxiaoling grow by leaps and bounds, and it would have risen a lot, I am afraid that they would regret it and their bowels would be blue.

It is a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, so the Japanese are still ambitiously dreaming of occupying China, Asia, and even the whole world.

Since the three eastern provinces have basically been obtained, they will naturally not be satisfied, so they set their sights on the Shanhaiguan Office, the choke point connecting the northeast and north China.

If you want to enter North China, then you must take Shanhaiguan, which is the consensus reached by the Japanese cabinet and the military department, and because of this, they began to prepare for the next act of aggression.
