Jidong, Lulong County.

The Beijing-Harbin Railway shuttles through the county. It is also a very important node.

In order to deal with the Eighth Route in eastern Hebei and protect the safety of the Beijing-Harbin Railway at the same time, the Japanese invaders have always stationed a brigade of troops in Lulong County.

Now the Japanese army is more numerous.

Because it became the temporary station of the headquarters of the 118th Division of the Japanese Army.

The destination of the 118th Division was not Lulong. It's by train.

The sudden outbreak of war left them behind.

According to the order of the North China Front Command, the 118th Division was to remain in the eastern Hebei region to fight.

"Yaga!"

"How many dirt roads are there in Jidong?"

"Can anyone give me an exact number?"

"Yaga!"

The commander of the division saw a great man again.

I didn't even see the face of the dirt road, and the baggage wing suffered a heavy blow.

Not only was the co-captain killed. More than a thousand people were also lost.

Although it was a baggage wing, it was also quite an elite soldier. After a battle, the loss was so big, of course Kazuo was angry when he saw it again.

In the past, the 118th Division also fought in the Central Plains. Basically, a division can be responsible for a separate direction. It can crush tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of Chinese troops!

In the eyes of Kazuo Shiami, the Chinese army is very easy to deal with.

It's better to catch a duck!

Duck hunting may take more time.

Because ducks don't raise their hands in surrender. Won't stop waiting for you to catch it. But the Chinese soldiers will.

A few Japanese troops were able to capture hundreds of Chinese soldiers. Then kill them all in turn.

I didn't expect that the eight roads were completely different.

"Fujino-kun ......"

"Yes!"

"Was the Eighth Road in Jidong like this before?"

"No, it's not."

"How do you ...... that?"

"Your Excellency, Honorable Division Commander, I am also puzzled by my humble position......"

The Chief of Staff, Major General Fujino, shook his head helplessly.

He had not fought against the Eighth Route Army before. Not much is known about the Eighth Route Army.

Before entering the customs, they were not given much information above. The information that the General Staff has in its possession is a general briefing. Nothing special.

Although the report said that the Eighth Route Army was more difficult to deal with than the ordinary Chinese army. But it doesn't seem to be that difficult to deal with.

It turned out that the Japanese troops stationed in Lulong County also said that the combat effectiveness of the Tuba Road they encountered before was not so strong. It's basically on the defensive. Those who did not dare to attack the Japanese army face to face.

The dirt roads that come here now are completely different from before.

A wing, encountering hundreds of dirt roads, was actually beaten to the head and bleeding, and even the wing captain was killed.

Incredible.

Fantastic.

"Let's bring Sato United back!"

"Yes!"

"Nope. All three wings were redeployed. ”

"Yes!"

Fujino agreed.

There was some surprise at first. Immediately relieved.

The division commander learned his lesson.

Since one wing can't deal with it, then three wings go together.

Or rather, the whole division and regiment together!

Definitely don't give the dirt eight roads a chance to turn over!

Even, don't give the dirt eight roads a chance to escape! There is only death on the dirt road......

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Suddenly, an explosion was heard in the distance.

Fujino subconsciously looked out the window. It was found that there were shells exploding in the distance.

The distance is about three kilometers. See it clearly.

The explosion was also clear.

Somewhat surprised. This is a large-caliber shell! Conservative estimates put the caliber at least 100 mm or more.

There really is heavy artillery on the Dirt Eighth Road!

It must have been a cannonball from the Dirt Eight Road. There is no one else but them.

A heart keeps sinking......

The shells of the Tuba Road all hit the vicinity of the division headquarters. That's not a good thing.

"Yaga ......"

Kazuo Kuemi also saw it. Suddenly frowned.

What's going on?

Artillery fire on the Dirt Eight Road?

They all hit Lu Long? Yaga!

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

Shells continue to fall.

The bombing site was still three kilometres away. Not much has changed.

However, the guard squadron of the divisional headquarters was already on the verge of a great enemy. Rushed in. Please revisit Kazuo and transfer the command immediately.

"Yaga!"

"What's the panic?"

Kazuo re-saw scolded angrily.

If you want to talk about courage, he still has it. Not at all afraid of enemy fire.

He didn't believe it, and the artillery fire of the Eighth Road could hit his headquarters. Tubalu is not a god. How can it be......

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

Suddenly, two loud noises came.

But it was two shells that landed outside the headquarters. It's less than a hundred meters away. Two blinding fires exploded.

The explosion even hit the headquarters.

"Withdraw!"

"Withdraw!"

Chief of Staff Fujino hurriedly ordered.

The guard squadron didn't care whether Kazuo Shiemi agreed or not, and took him away.

In fact, Kazuo Shiemi did not resist violently.

He's not stupid. Of course, I realized the danger. If you don't leave, you're really going to be bombed.

But......

"Yaga!"

"What's going on with the dirt road?"

"How did they know where Command was?"

"Yaga!"

Kazuo was anxious and angry.

I didn't even see the face of the Dirt Eighth Road, and I was threatened by the artillery fire of the Dirt Eighth Road.

Damn it!

Must fight back!

Heavy artillery must be used to fight back immediately!

The question is......

His heavy artillery wing was not around.

Because of the arrangement of vehicle transportation, the heavy artillery wing has arrived near Beiping ahead of schedule.

This was arranged by the North China Front Command. The heavy artillery wing was transported over in advance. Because of the war over there, a lot of artillery fire is needed. Infantry can be secondary.

Kazuo Shiemi didn't think there was anything wrong with it at the time. But now the trouble is coming.

The heavy artillery wing was not around. Tank brigades are also not nearby. What is he going to do against the artillery fire of the Eighth Road!

It's damning......

How could such a mistake be made......

Wrong!

It's not a bug!

This is the arrangement of the superiors, and there is no problem.

The problem is the dirt eight roads.

It was they who came at a bad time. Just stabbed the 118th Division in the soft underbelly.

Impotent rage.

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

Shells continue to fall.

The closest to the command was less than fifty meters. But there was no direct hit.

Near the point of the shells, there were no Japanese troops left. The Japanese troops have already withdrawn.

However, Fujino was still terrified.

Fortunately, the retreat was early, otherwise it would have been ......

Looking at the craters left behind after the explosion, the shells were very powerful.

With just one shell, everyone in the entire command will be shattered.

Palpitations......

Only Kazuo Remi is still calm.

In front of his subordinates, he has always been known for his bravery.

Soon after, Kazuo Kurumi judged it. Dirt Eight Road is in blind shooting. And there was no accurate target designation. They were shooting indiscriminately.

In fact, Kazuo Shiemi did guess correctly.

Zhang Chu found the location of Kazuo Shiemi on the recyclables radar. Then shoot with rocket artillery.

The commander of the lieutenant general's division, worth 100 million!

It's a pity that the accuracy of the rocket artillery is too bad.

The maximum firing range is about eight kilometers. But the error is already several hundred meters.

As a result, a series of shells fell down, but instead of hitting the target, the target was seen constantly moving westward. In the end, it was completely out of the range of rocket artillery.

I had to give up.

Continue to direct troops to attack Lulong County.

He was going to take Lulong County and then station troops here. It is estimated that all the Japanese will not be able to sleep.

Unfortunately, there are still too few troops.

It would be nice if a few thousand more came......

"Staff Officer Zhang!"

"Staff Officer Zhang!"

Suddenly, someone came in a hurry.

also brought a cadre of the Eighth Route Army. It's an acquaintance. Still a big shot.

Chief of Staff Song of the 120th Division Teaching Brigade!

He's actually here.

"Zhang Chu!"

"Chief of Staff Song!"

"I knew it was you."

"Uh......"

"You must be short of people, right?"

"Missing!"

"That's right. I brought 5,000 men! ”

"What?"

Zhang Chu's heart suddenly burst into joy.

Five thousand!

Awesome!

This time you can play even bigger!

Gladly come up to greet you.

Sure enough, Chief of Staff Song did not exaggerate. He really brought more than 5,000 people.

Moreover, there is no indiscriminate filling in it. They are all capable of fighting with guns. Although there is no official military uniform. But the spirit looks quite okay.

That's fine.

As long as there are people, it's easy to do. Somebody has everything.

Weapons and equipment were immediately arranged.

The first to be arranged was a 105-mm heavy cannon.

It has the longest range. It is completely possible to shoot at the Japanese artillery. Large-scale melee is indispensable.

A total of ten doors are upgraded.

It's a pity that you have to wait in line. Expect to wait for hours.

75-mm field guns also need to wait.

The next best thing is to be armed with 81-mm mortars in large quantities. This one can be airdropped, and there is no limit to the number of them.

Direct upgrade of a hundred 81-mm mortars.

Airdrop.

Unpack.

Assemble.

The movement is as skillful as an assembly line.

Assemble a door, and someone will take it immediately.

"Ding!"

"You have made great contributions to the Eighth Route Army......"

"Your strength is increased by 1% ......"

Info prompt arrived.

Zhang Chu's heart is like stopping water.

Or rather, a little bit of worry.

Each time a large amount of equipment is distributed, his physical stats will continue to increase.

I don't know what the consequences will be if this endless increase continues.

Will it explode and die?

Shake one’s head. Eliminate distractions.

Whatever. As long as you can send a large amount of weapons and ammunition to the Eighth Route Army, it is no problem to explode and die by yourself.

If you look at the balance of recyclables, there are almost two billion. Even if you leave the Bright Sword dungeon, it is enough to be a local tyrant.

Of course, if you can continue to stay in the Bright Sword copy, that's the best.

And then there were heavy machine guns......

All are 12.7 mm Deshka heavy machine guns. Claims to be omnipotent. Hit planes, tank fortifications, and sweep the Japanese infantry.

As long as there are enough bullets, the Deshka machine gun is simply a demolition artifact. Better than mortars.

"Ding!"

"Your Reflexes are 1% ...... Enhanced"

Then there was the DP-28 turntable machine gun.

Not much. Three hundred are enough. Two per class.

"Ding!"

"Your speed is increased by 1%......"

And then there are semi-automatic rifles.

All fighters, all armed with SVT-40 semi-automatic rifles.

In particular, there are several regular main companies. Less priority equipment.

And then there was the Bobosha submachine gun......

Five hundred sticks directly.

As for how it will be distributed, that is an internal matter of the troops.

The five thousand people brought by Chief of Staff Song are very interesting. There are actually fifteen regiments.

are not satisfied.

The main force of each regiment was a company, about a hundred people.

It's a regiment built up with a company. Then the personnel and equipment are constantly replenished. Constant expansion. Eventually developed into a regiment.

What is the peak strength of each regiment? Three thousand!

Fifteen regiments, each with 3,000 people, that's 45,000 people!

Hey!

It's quite a terrifying force.

If they were all armed, they would be able to withstand the two divisions of the Japanese invaders......

"How?"

"What?"

"Don't worry! What we have are people! ”

"Oh......"

Zhang Chu nodded.

Of course, he knew that there were people in the Eighth Route Army.

Eastern Hebei was originally a densely populated place with an abundant supply of soldiers.

The key is that in this area, there are still a large number of ordinary people who have fled from the northeast into the Guannai. There were even a lot of soldiers of the Northeast Army.

These people, with a little mobilization, will join the anti-Japanese armed forces.

Two years ago, the Jidong riots were very popular. It is claimed that there are 100,000 people. It can be seen that the supply of troops is sufficient.

In the past, there was no weapons and ammunition, and there was no way to expand the army. Now, with weapons and ammunition, all the problems are solved. Forming 100,000 troops is really not a dream.

"Chief of Staff Song!"

"Staff Officer Zhang!"

"Chief of Staff Song!"

"Staff Officer Zhang!"

Sure enough, people kept coming.

They were all anti-Japanese armed forces left behind in eastern Hebei. There were hundreds of people. There are dozens of people at the least.

Everyone came one after another, and the total number was actually 3,000!

In less than half a day, tens of thousands of people had already gathered around Zhang Chu. Moreover, there is a steady stream of people coming in the back.

Zhang Chu: ......

Burst with joy.

The heart is surging.

Full of confidence.

Look like the cat that ate the canary.

There are people, and weapons and ammunition are also available. What are you waiting for? Let's attack!

Attack now!
