Chapter 297 The more the devils are afraid, the more we do
I am an artillery text volume Chapter 297 The more the Japanese are afraid, the more we fight, the sooner the battle ends. The less the independent regiment's troops are, it is still very simple to take down a small team of the Japanese.
In this battle, Zhao Gang, the political commissar of the independent regiment, did not follow him, and he still needed to deal with things in the rear. In order to better kill the Japanese, Li Yunlong deliberately divided the independent regiment into two parts, he led part by himself, and the other part was handed over to Kong Jie, the old leader of the independent regiment. Li Yunlong knew Kong Jie's ability, so he was naturally willing to hand over the soldiers to Kong Jie's hands to increase the efficiency of killing Japanese.
In order to deal with these Japanese devils, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie cooperated tacitly and killed several Japanese squads in this way. However, they did not receive orders from the brigade headquarters before, and they did not cut off the Japanese heads. Now they received orders, so they ordered the soldiers to cut off the Japanese heads while cleaning the battlefield, so that the Japanese who were sweeping the Japanese knew that the Eighth Route Army was not easy to mess with.
After receiving the order from the brigade headquarters, Ding Wei and others acted soon, but unlike Li Yunlong, they each had different ideas. The 771st Regiment and 772nd Regiment chose to fight steadily and constantly adopted guerrilla warfare and sparrow warfare to block the Japanese's advance. This would be impossible to cut off the Japanese's heads, but it could slow down the Japanese's progress. Ding Wei focused on the strongholds behind the Japanese's sweeping troops. He sent the soldiers of the New Regiment and some artillery soldiers to assist, specifically attacking the Japanese's strongholds! Because the Japanese swept the Eighth Route Army base, there were not many Japanese left in the strongholds, which allowed the New Regiment to continuously capture the Japanese's strongholds.
Even if there is a stronghold, the Japanese can hold on for a while, but with the help of artillery, every time the Japanese reinforcements arrive, the soldiers of the New Regiment will take down the Japanese stronghold and cut off the Japanese heads and hung them on the stronghold. The Japanese were constantly being cut off their heads. The soldiers knew clearly what was going on in the villages that were destroyed by the Japanese, and they also remembered the blood stained in the Japanese hands.
The soldiers were not ruthless at all. They wanted to cut off the Japanese's heads and make these Japanese pay the price! The more the Japanese were afraid of something, the more the soldiers would do. They dare to enter China and dare to attack the Chinese people, and don't want to leave alive!
Lucheng, the 36th Division Headquarters, Jing Guanren looked ugly,
After handing over the two corps of devils to Colonel Yamamoto for the sweeping of the Eighth Route Army base, Jing Guanren did not want to continue to focus on this. He believed that the strength of the two corps was enough to complete the sweeping of the Eighth Route Army base. The 36th Division's Japanese could not be fully mobilized, and some of the Japanese needed to defend in the Japanese-occupied area. The ability to draw out the strength of the two corps was already the maximum that Jing Guanren could give.
When the sweep was just beginning, good news kept coming, and the troops were constantly advancing deep into the Eighth Route Army base. Based on the information obtained, it was possible to find the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the old opponent, the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army. It was still possible to kill them all! But who knew that in the past two days, there had been such a big change. The troops that could advance quickly were delayed by various means by the Turkish Eighth Route Army, and the casualties of soldiers became increasingly serious!
As the commander of the 36th Division, Jing Guanren knew that the Eighth Route Army was not weak in combat, and it was normal for soldiers to suffer casualties! But at this moment, looking at the news coming and going from the front line, Jing Guanren could no longer maintain an optimistic attitude. Hundreds of soldiers were cut off by the Turkish Eighth Route Army, and the number was still increasing. How could Jing Guanren sit still?
Jing Guanren could understand why the Eighth Route Army did this, but it was nothing more than the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire who carried out the Battle of Evil and destroyed everything they saw in their sight. In Jing Guanren's opinion, there was no problem at all. As a lieutenant general of the Great Japanese Empire, Jing Guanren knew clearly the stalemate of the front-line battle and the situation in the country. The empire needed to conquer this country as soon as possible!
When the invasion of China was just launched, people from all levels of the country felt that with the national strength of the Great Japanese Empire, they could conquer and occupy China in a short time, and thus enhance the national strength of the Great Japanese Empire again. Even said that the slogan of conquering China was shouted at that time! But who could have thought that the Great Japanese Empire's war in China would be so stalemate, China was like a quagmire, constantly consuming the national strength of the Great Japanese Empire! As a lieutenant general, Jing Guanren knew more than ordinary soldiers, and the local area needed to be supplemented enough to continue to support this battle, but the gains from China were far from enough.
The battle with the national army on the front battlefield was very fierce and showed a white-hot state. In order to disintegrate the fighting spirit of the Chinese army, the local government was actively carrying out political inducement of surrender to the Chongqing government, and on the other hand, it increased the bombing of key cities such as Chongqing and increased the pressure on the Chongqing government, and wanted to take China in this way. Even though the local government knew that the Chongqing government had little chance of giving up resistance, it was more delaying time, but the local government was willing to do so. Now the local government needs to be supplemented and replenished from the Chinese battlefield! But at this critical moment, the Eighth Route Army troops active in the occupied areas actually organized a large-scale counterattack operation, destroying the traffic routes in the occupied areas, and many have not been repaired until now.
Now these Eighth Route Army members dared to cut off the heads of the warriors of the Japanese Empire. It was a bit difficult for Iguanren to accept, but it was difficult for the 36th Division to draw more troops. Even if he was extremely angry, there was no way. Iguanren could only hope that Colonel Yamamoto, whom he liked, would not disappoint him. He already knew where the Eighth Route Army headquarters and the 129th Division were located. Colonel Yamamoto could not do anything with his troops, so it would be too disappointing for him.
Colonel Yamamoto followed Iguanren for a long time. Iguanren believed that he knew his character and the consequences of the failure of this sweep.
Looking at the reports sent back from the front line again, Jing Guanren had a headache. He hoped that this matter would not be known by the North China Front Army Command, nor by the soldiers on the front line. Otherwise, even if Jing Guanren was a lieutenant general, he would not be able to easily bear the consequences of this failure in the sweep.
At the same time, the North China Front Command also received news about the 36th Division's raid, and even learned that many soldiers were being looked down on their heads!
The commander of the Japanese North China Front Army, Tada Jun, looked at the battle reports from the front line, and his expression was gloomy. He knew that the combat power of the 36th Division was not weak, but even the 36th Division, which was not weak, sent two full regiments, but neither of them could achieve corresponding results! Tada Jun was a little suspicious of the ability of the lieutenant general, Iguanren, and the combat power of the 36th Division!
