Chapter 297: The more afraid the devil is, the more we do it
The battle ended quickly, and the strength of the independent regiment was no longer enough, and it was still very simple to take down the devil's squad.
In this battle, Zhao Gang, the political commissar of the independent regiment, did not follow, and he still needed to deal with things in the rear. In order to better kill the devils, Li Yunlong deliberately divided the independent regiment into two parts, he led one part himself, and the other part was handed over to Kong Jie, the old head of the independent regiment. Li Yunlong knew Kong Jie's ability, so he was naturally willing to hand over the warriors to Kong Jie to increase the efficiency of killing devils.
In order to be able to deal with these little devils, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie tacitly cooperated, and in this way, they killed several devil teams. It's just that they didn't get an order from the brigade headquarters before, they didn't cut off the devil's head, and now that they got the order, they also ordered the soldiers to cut off the devil's head when cleaning the battlefield, so that these sweeping devils know that the Eighth Route Army is not easy to mess with.
After receiving the order from the brigade headquarters, Ding Wei and the others also acted quickly, but unlike Li Yunlong, they each had different ideas. The 771st Regiment and the 772nd Regiment chose to fight steadily and steadily, constantly using guerrilla warfare and sparrow warfare to hinder the advance of the devils, so that there was no way to cut off the devil's head, but it could slow down the devil's advance. And Ding Wei set his sights on the stronghold behind the devil's sweeping troops, and he sent a new regiment of soldiers and a part of the artillery to assist, specifically attacking the devil's stronghold! Due to the devils' sweep of the Eighth Route Army's base area, there are not many devils left in the stronghold, which also enables the new regiment to continue to take the devil's stronghold.
Even if there is a stronghold, the devil can hold out for a while, but with the help of artillery, every time the devil reinforcements arrive, the soldiers of the new regiment have already taken the devil's stronghold, cut off the devil's head and hang it on the stronghold. There are constantly devils with their heads cut off, and the soldiers know very well what the situation is in the villages that have been destroyed by the devils, and they all remember the blood stained on the hands of the devils.
The warriors have no mercy on these devils, they want to cut off the heads of the devils, and they want to make these devils pay! The more the devils are afraid of something, the more the soldiers have to do, dare to enter China, dare to attack the Chinese people, don't think about leaving alive!
Lucheng, the headquarters of the 36th Division, Jing Guan's face was ugly,
After handing over the two wings to Yamamoto Osa to sweep the base area of the Eighth Route Army, Jing Guan Yan did not want to continue to focus on this, he believed that with the strength of the two wings, it was enough to complete the sweep of the base area of the Eighth Route Army. The devils of the 36th Division cannot be fully mobilized, and a part of the devils needs to defend in the area occupied by the devils, and the strength of two wings can be drawn is already the maximum that Jingguan Cheng can give.
At the beginning of the sweep, good news kept coming, the troops were constantly advancing towards the depths of the Eighth Route Army's base area, and according to the information obtained, it was possible to find the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, as well as the headquarters of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and kill them all! But who knows, in the past two days, there have been such big changes, the troops that can advance quickly have been delayed by various means of the Dirt Eight Road, and the casualties of the soldiers are getting bigger and bigger!
As the division commander of the 36th Division, Jing Guanqian knew that the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army was not weak, and it was normal for soldiers to have casualties! But at this moment, looking at the news coming back from the front, Jing Guanqian could no longer maintain the slightest optimism. Hundreds of soldiers were beheaded by the Tubalu troops, and the number was still increasing, how could Jing Guan Qian sit still?
Jing Guan Yan was able to understand why the Tu Eighth Route Army would do this, it was nothing more than that the Imperial Japanese Army carried out the Ember Annihilation War and destroyed everything in sight, which in Jing Guan Yan's opinion, there was no problem at all. As a lieutenant general of the Empire of Japan, Iseki is well aware of the stalemate of the front-line battles, as well as the domestic situation, and the empire needs to conquer this country quickly!
When the invasion of China was first launched, people at all levels in China felt that with the national strength of the Great Japanese Empire, they could conquer and occupy China in a short period of time, and then the national strength of the Great Japanese Empire could be enhanced again. It is even said that at that time, the slogan of conquering China in three months was shouted! But who would have thought that the war of the Great Japanese Empire in China would be so stale, and China was like a quagmire, constantly consuming the national strength of the Great Japanese Empire! As a lieutenant general, Jing Guan knew more than the average warrior, and the homeland needed to be replenished enough to continue the battle, but the gains from China were far from enough.
In order to break the fighting spirit of the Chinese army, on the one hand, the local government is actively carrying out political inducement work against the Chongqing government, and on the other hand, it is intensifying the bombing of Chongqing and other key cities, increasing the pressure on the Chongqing government, and wants to take China in this way. Even if the locals know that the chances of the Chongqing government giving up resistance are not great, and it is more about stalling for time, the locals are willing to do so, and now the locals need to be replenished, from the Chinese battlefield! However, at such a juncture, the troops of the Eighth Route Army, which were active in the occupied areas, actually organized a large-scale counterattack and destroyed the communication routes in the occupied areas, and many of them have not been repaired until now.
Now these Tubalu dare to cut off the heads of the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, and Jing Guan Ling is a little difficult to accept, but it is difficult for the 36th Division to draw more troops, even if he is extremely angry, there is no way. Jing Guan can only hope that Yamamoto Daisa, who he fancies, will not let himself down, he already knows the location of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the headquarters of the 129th Division, and Yamamoto Daisa can't do anything with the troops, so he will be too disappointed.
Yamamoto Daisa had been with Iseki for a short time, and Iseki believed that he knew his character and the consequences of the failure of the sweep.
Looking at the reports sent back from the front line in front of him again, Jing Guanqian had a headache, hoping that this matter would not be known by the North China Front Command, let alone the soldiers on the front line. Otherwise, even if Jing Guan Yan is a lieutenant general, he will not be able to easily bear the consequences of the failure of this sweep.
At the same time, the North China Front Command also got the news about the sweep of the 36th Division, and even learned that many soldiers were looked down on their heads!
Tada Jun, commander of the Japanese North China Front, looked at the battle report from the front line, his expression was gloomy, he knew that the combat effectiveness of the 36th Division was not weak, but even the 36th Division, which was not weak in battle, sent two wings, but failed to achieve the corresponding results! Tada Jun was a little skeptical about the ability of the lieutenant general Iseki and doubted the combat effectiveness of the 36th Division!
"Urgent! Order the commander of the 36th Division, Lieutenant General Jing Guancheng, to go to the headquarters to make a report on the sweep of the base area of the Eighth Route Army! In addition, the commander of the First Army, Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka, was ordered to allocate troops to strengthen the sweeping of the base areas of the Eighth Route Army, and cooperate with the 36th Division to take the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the headquarters of the 129th Division, and destroy the base areas of the Eighth Route Army! ”
