Hung up the phone unwillingly, Peng Weiyi clenched his fists tightly, and his nails pierced into the flesh.

Fighting with the independent regiment of the Sichuan Army twice, the first time it was forgivable to be attacked by a sneak attack, but this time he gathered heavy troops but was defeated head-on and suffered heavy casualties, and he was simply holding a fire in his heart, and he felt like he was going to be burned.

However, the defeat of the volcano was not completely without gains.

The gap is all-round, equipment, combat quality, etc., Peng Weiyi decided that when he returned to Laiyuan, he must go all out to strive for more and better equipment for the advance army, and at the same time strengthen the training of the advance army.

"I can't imagine that the strength of this independent regiment of the Sichuan Army has become so strong!"

Looking at the battle report he had just gotten, Saburo Koizumi said with a gloomy face, when Lu Yuan and a few people came here, but in just a few months, he had such strength, which really shocked him, and at the same time secretly regretted that he did not completely strangle Lu Yuan's cancer in the cradle at the beginning, and now it is too late to say anything.

Dozens of grenadiers, more than a dozen or twenty machine guns with crooked handles, all 38 rifles, and accurate marksmanship -- these are all the battle situations listed in the battle report, and they are valuable materials that the Imperial Association army exchanged for more than 1,300 lives.

"No wonder our Imperial Cooperative Army is vulnerable in front of this independent regiment of the Sichuan Army, the equipment of these guys, in addition to the lack of artillery fire and air support, I am afraid that it is already on par with the equipment of our army's elite troops!"

The adjutant on the side hissed and said with a cool breath, such a powerful force can be said to be invincible here, and it is impossible to rely on the Imperial Cooperative Army or even the small imperial troops stationed here to kill the other party.

"This road is far away, this independent regiment of the Sichuan Army is indeed a difficult bone to gnaw, and with the surrounding dirt roads, it is even more difficult...... Moreover, the roads in Trojan County and the surrounding liberated areas are rugged, and our army's tanks and heavy artillery are not useful at all, and it is ......difficult to rely solely on ground troops to forcibly advance without more than 100,000 troops."

Koizumi Saburo also gritted his teeth when he heard this: "And the military department is now fighting against the government army in the Lanfeng area, I'm afraid I won't be able to clean them up for a while, so I can only watch these guys sit big, it's really disgusting like maggots attached to the bones......"

"What then? Can we just sit idly by? ”

The adjutant asked extremely unwillingly, not to mention that Lu Yuan killed King Yan, blew up the headquarters of the Kwantung Army in Tianjin, poisoned so many imperial recruits and members of the viewing group, and the general Umezu Mijiro who did not know where to go, Lieutenant General Kazuki Seiji and others, just said that the Sichuan Army Independent Regiment is such a powerful force, it is impossible for the military department to pretend not to see it.

"I can only send the battle report to the military headquarters first, and ask General Terauchi Shouichi and Lieutenant General Nishio to make a decision......"

Koizumi Saburo waved his hand painfully, let the adjutant retreat, and sat down on the chair dejectedly, he now feels more and more that Lu Yuan and his Sichuan Army Independent Regiment are simply the stinky stones in the pit that can't be broken, smashed and gnawed, and there is no way to take the other party, and you can't pretend to see or ignore it, because the other party may jump out at any time to make a big move, even if you can't make a big move, it will definitely be able to disgust people.

Even he felt that his mood at the moment probably represented the mood of generals at all levels of the military department and even generals.

"Damn it!"

In the headquarters of the Japanese army in Central China, Terauchi Shouichi smashed the battle report on the table, he was not angry that the nearly 3,000 puppet army could not kill more than 1,000 people of the Sichuan Army Independent Regiment, he was angry that the Sichuan Army Independent Regiment was getting stronger and stronger, and the reason for these combat power was largely because the other party raided the Tanggu port!

The materials in Tanggu port were burned by Lu Yuan, and now all the armies in China have suffered from material supply difficulties to varying degrees, even if they redouble the plundering of the people of China to feed the war, they are a little powerless, and Lu Yuan and his independent regiment of the Sichuan army are good, not only not the bigger and poorer, but the more they fight, the more they live, the more nourishing they are.

Thinking of this, Shouichi Terauchi felt like he had eaten a mouthful of hot Xiang and felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

"Now Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara is leading the 14th Division in the Lanfeng area, and all units of our army must contain the attention of the Chinese army in the periphery, and they are powerless to take care of it......"

Nishio Shouzo's face was also pale, and every word seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth: "But if you don't care at all, this bastard has developed to such a point in just a few months, if you give him some more time, then he won't have to turn the world upside down?" ”

"This bastard must not be allowed to act so recklessly again!"

Terauchi Shouichi gritted his teeth and said: "Pass my order, strictly seal off the area of Lai'anwei, even if we can't organize a military attack over there, we can't sit idly by and ignore this bastard, block the entry and exit of all materials over there, at least limit the speed of his development - on the other hand, send me a few warplanes every day to bomb Trojan County, this bastard makes us feel bad, and we will definitely not let him have a good time......"

"Hi ......"

Nishio Shouzo nodded vigorously, but added: "However, our army flies to the fighter airfield in Trojan County, and recently it is also Tianjin, and I am afraid that the oil loss is too great every day to bomb back and forth, and the empire's oil is all imported...... If you want to carry out a regular bombing of Trojan County, it will be necessary to open a new airfield near there! ”

"I've taken that into account!"

Terauchi Shouyi: "Although Datong was broken by the Eighth Route last time, it has now returned to the control of our army, and the Datong city wall is strong and conducive to defense, so I ordered the Taiyuan side to divide troops into Datong and nearby counties and towns to carry out heavy guards, and establish a temporary airport in Datong, which is specially responsible for the bombing mission of Trojan Horse County and the trouble-making Eighth Route Army!" ”

The order was quickly arranged, but it was impossible to carry out the bombing immediately.

After all, an airfield cannot be built in a day, and even if fighter planes are sent from Tianjin to bomb it, it is necessary to open up new routes, determine bombing targets, and so on, and these are not things that can be accomplished in a day or two.

Now Terauchi Shouichi hopes that Kenji Dohihara's attack will go smoothly and can force ****** to agree to the emperor's edict, and only by first reaching some tacit agreement with the government army of Shina can the purpose of heavy troops attacking Trojan County and the base area of the Eighth Route Army be achieved.

Now the war situation is gradually entering a stalemate, and the military strength of the empire, as well as the strategic reserves in all aspects, can no longer support multi-sided operations.

"The empire is located on the Japanese islands, which is really the biggest weakness of the Japanese Empire......"

Thinking of this, Shouichi Terauchi couldn't help but sigh, the lack of resources has always been a shackle around the neck of the empire, which is also the fundamental reason for launching the East Asian War.
