Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

Even in the case of the Japanese army, the Central Army was equipped with tanks and armored units, and even after the war, these tanks and armored units fought against them.But as far as they know, the Central Army's infantry-tank coordination tactics are extremely low.

But now in the northwest, the Eighth Route Army has actually formed an armored force by relying on the tanks and armored vehicles seized from them, and equipped with infantry to train infantry and tank coordination tactics.

Such information undoubtedly made Yamamura Kiyotaro startled and said: "Baga! How is this possible!"

Snatching the telegram from the chief of staff, Yamamura Seitaro read it carefully and said, "How do these Eighth Route Army know how to operate these weapons? In this way, the tank armor we abandoned earlier may be seized by them.

In this way, in the future, our troops will have to face the Chinese mechanized troops composed of imperial tanks and armored vehicles.How can this be?If you want to train such an army, you will not be able to form combat effectiveness in less than half a year! "

As the head of the division, and there is a tank brigade attached to the division, Seitaro Yamamura knows better than anyone else.If infantry and tanks are to cooperate tacitly, long-term training is essential.

So what is going on with the armored units of the Eighth Route Army attacking the Independent Third Brigade at this moment?

'Division commander, the top priority, I'm afraid we need to make early plans.The defeat of the [-]rd Brigade meant that there was no way for our two forces to join together.Before the main force of the Eighth Route Army returns, we should break through overnight! '

As the chief of staff of the division, he knew very well that the defeat of the third brigade would be a fatal blow to the No.12 division.This means that the Eighth Route Army, which originally surrounded and annihilated their two armies, can work together to eliminate them.

The chief of staff of the division who couldn't figure out why the third brigade progressed so smoothly in the later stage now somewhat understands.I am afraid that the smooth attack of the third brigade has a lot to do with the Eighth Route Army's intention to open the gap.

The purpose of launching a sudden attack tonight is to prevent the successful rendezvous of their two armies tomorrow.As long as one of the troops is eliminated, the main force of the Eighth Route Army will then be able to concentrate all its strength to wipe out the No. 12 Division at this moment.

'Yo breath!Immediately call the head of the Rendezvous Brigade!In addition, the senior and junior officers of the division were notified to hold an emergency meeting to discuss the next action plan.By the way, pay attention to the telegram sent by the North China Front Army, and notify me immediately if there is any situation. '

'Yes, Your Excellency the General! '

The chief of staff of the division who had withdrawn from the combat command room quickly sent someone to find Hitomi Xiusan and the captain of the division boy.These officers who were summoned overnight still felt a little surprised.

But when they heard that the Third Independent Mixed Brigade had just been defeated by the Eighth Route Army, many people found it unbelievable.But at the same time, they realized that it was impossible to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

After the briefing on the battle situation, Renjian Xiusan also agreed with him and said, "General, we may need to start now to prepare for the next breakout. If we don't leave, we may not be able to leave tomorrow!"

Not long after the meeting, a Japanese military officer on duty in the telegraph room said with some anxiety, "Your Excellency, General! I just received a farewell telegram from the [-]rd Brigade. They have already been wiped out."

'Nah!How can it be so fast?You know, the independent mixed third regiment has nearly 1 soldiers.Even if there were more than [-] pigs, it would be impossible for the Eighth Route Army to catch them so quickly! '

No one dared to answer the metaphor of Seitaro Yamamura.Because they all knew that the third brigade sent a farewell call, realizing that they would truly become a helpless army in Zhuozi's territory! (To be continued.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Even though it was already late at night, Sugiyama Moto, the commander of the North China Front Army who had just rested, was still woken up by the chief of staff, Yamashita Homofumi. n∈n∈, the reason is very simple, the farewell call of the third brigade, which was independently mixed, made the situation very serious.

As the chief of staff of the North China Front Army, Yamashita Fengwen really didn't know what to say.Every time the situation just got a little hopeful, before they were happy for two days, things would become a mess and even get out of hand.

Originally, he and Moto Sugiyama were looking forward to the rendezvous between the 12rd Brigade and the No.[-] Division tomorrow, but with the farewell telegram sent by the [-]rd Brigade tonight, this expectation became a nightmare moment that prevented them from sleeping peacefully.

Moto Sugiyama, who was woken up overnight, seemed to know that there must be something serious.Otherwise, as the chief of staff, Yamashita Fufumi would not dare to wake him up at this time.After all, as the chief of staff, there are some things that Yamashita Fufumi can handle.

Before he could ask a question, Sugiyama Yuan, who had just walked out of the room, heard Yamashita Fufumi anxiously say: "General, something happened. I just received a farewell call from the Third Brigade. They were defeated by the Eighth Route Army."

Hey, how is this possible? In the afternoon, didn’t the 12rd Brigade say that it was not far from the No.[-] Division?

Yes, according to our last telegram contact in the afternoon, they have already entered Sanchakou Township not far from Zhuozi.It's just that no one thought that the Eighth Route Army would launch a large-scale sneak attack on them at night.

What is most worthy of vigilance is that in the night attack on the third brigade, the Eighth Route Army used a batch of heavy artillery, as well as a batch of tanks and armored vehicles.The defensive position of the third brigade was broken through by the opponent's tanks and armored vehicles.

Listening to Yamashita's report, Moto Sugiyama, who received the telegram and read it carefully, said in silence for a while, "It's really unbelievable that the Eighth Route Army used our equipment to form a tank and armored force.

It seems that the emphasis on the Eighth Route Army needs to be raised by one level, and they are regarded as the same level as the Central Army of the Nationalist Government.The combat mode of this force also deserves our great attention.The Eighth Route Army must be resolutely wiped out.”

Perhaps it was because he had angered the Eighth Route Army too many times, but in the face of the news that the Third Brigade was defeated by the Eighth Route Army, Sugiyama Yuan remained calm.The reason is simple, he already knew that he was about to step down as the commander of the front army.

It can be said that all matters related to the North China Front Army will be left to the next commander.This also means that the Eighth Route Army, which made him lose face as the commander of North China, will leave others with headaches.

But Sugiyama still felt that it was necessary for him to make the Imperial Army Department pay more attention to this anti-Japanese army, which they regarded as the dirt road.Most importantly, the rapid development of this army is bound to be inseparable from the support of the Soviet Union.

The tank brigade of the former No.12 Division was severely damaged. According to Sugiyama Yuan, those weapons must have been supported by the Soviet Union.The Eighth Route Army, which now controls Suiyuan, has undoubtedly opened up a land channel with the Soviet Union.

Hearing Sugiyama Yuan's words, Yamashita Fengwen also nodded in agreement and said: "General, what should we do about this matter?"

What to do? To use a Chinese saying, we are now far away and cannot save near fire.Whether it is the third brigade or the No.12 division that is still trapped in Zhuozi, we are powerless to rescue them.

What we have to do now is to do our best to ensure the stability of North China.The recent security situation in North China has seriously affected the empire's resource supply.Let Tada Jun solve these troubles after he takes office

Now that the empire's front line is too long, those guys from the Admiralty have blocked the cabinet's application for our military expenditure.In order to stabilize the situation in North China, the threat of the Eighth Route Army must be resolved first.If this army is not dealt with, there will be no peace in North China

Perhaps it is clear that the strength of the North China Front Army alone is powerless to prevent the Eighth Route Army from annihilating the No. 12 Division trapped in Zhuozi.What Sugiyama Yuan is thinking now is to make the next commander pay more attention to the Eighth Route Army.

At least in Sugiyama Yuan’s view, the Army Headquarters paid too much attention to the southern theater and wanted to eliminate the so-called regular Chinese army while ignoring the rapidly rising Eighth Route Army. This was an obvious mistake.

When the Xuzhou battle is over, the North China Army divisions that participated in the Xuzhou battle will also be restored one after another.At that time, Sugiyama believes that the Eighth Route Army, which always likes to attack from behind, will find it difficult to win on the frontal battlefield.

In addition, the newly organized divisions recruited from North Korea and Taiwan will also arrive in North China with the new commander.This means that in the future, the scale of the garrisons of the North China Front Army will be further strengthened.

As the saying goes, once the emperor has a courtier, since the Army Headquarters has decided to revoke the appointment of his commander.This means that the new commander will take over the mess of the North China Front Army.

Seeing Moto Sugiyama who was a little indifferent, Homofumi Yamashita, the chief of staff, also didn't know what to say.After all, if Sugiyama Moto resigns as commander, he, the chief of staff, will also face the situation of being transferred from his current position.

This means that in the future North China Front Army, in addition to Tada Jun, the new commander, there will also be a new Chief of Staff of the Front Army.Even if Yamashita Fengwen felt that he was unwilling to be transferred like this, he knew that it was not his decision.

What's more, the North China Front Army is indeed a mess in the eyes of many army ministers.Compared with the achievements of the Central China Front Army, the North China Front Army has indeed not made too many achievements since the Songhu Battle.

The most important thing is the loss of troops of the North China Front Army, which is too much for the Army Headquarters to bear.In addition, the occupied areas that were captured were gradually recovered by the Eighth Route Army, and the little devil felt even more distressed.

Sugiyama Yuan, who was awakened, didn't seem to be in the mood to study any countermeasures, and said directly: "Send a telegram to the head of the Shancun Division to inform about this matter. Also send a telegram to Li Shouxin and ask him to deploy troops near Xinmin Collision.

If the No.12 Division cannot safely reach the Eastern Mongolia area, then there is nothing we can do.If we increase our garrison for the sake of the No.12 Division, I am afraid that the situation in North China will really become difficult to deal with.

However, in the call back, you can tell the head of the Yamamura Division that I will order the North China Army Aviation Unit to fully cooperate with their breakout operations.Whether they need ammunition supplies or air fire support, I will fully support them.

In addition, in order to ensure the stability of the situation in North China, the front army is really unable to send infantry to rescue.The demise of the independent mixed third brigade has caused us to lose an elite infantry brigade again. "

Even if Sugiyama Yuan didn't want to see the No.12 Division wiped out, he valued the latter more than the stability of North China.After all, a Japanese army division is undoubtedly more worthy of attention than a front army's control area.

The No.12 Division, which was in an emergency meeting, saw the telegram sent by the North China Front Army, and the captain couldn't help but said: "Baga's telegram means that we have given up on us? We are here to help."

For the troops of the No.12 Division, they could have stayed in Manchuria.But this time, at the invitation of Sugiyama Yuan, the former head of the division, to go south to help the North China Front Army encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army, which is considered to be highly valued.

But who would have thought that after the No.12 division entered Zhuozi, it would encounter such a situation.Not to mention the complete annihilation of an infantry brigade, the main force of the remaining divisions has basically been lost.

Under such circumstances, the North China Front directly stated that it was unable to send infantry to rescue them, which indeed made some officers of the No.12 Division find it difficult to accept.They feel as if they have been abandoned.

Only Seitaro Yamamura looked at this telegram, even if he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.But he said calmly: "Your lords, in the next breakout battle, we can only rely on ourselves.

If I were General Sugiyama Moto, I would make the same decision.Compared with the stability of North China, the safety of our division is really nothing.In order to rescue us, the North China Front Army has paid a heavy price.

After this meeting is over, please also inform our warriors.To successfully break through, we must hold the attitude of fighting to the death.Even if we are likely to face, it will be surrounded by the Eighth Route Army.

But I hope that the divisions, from me to ordinary soldiers, can break out of the encirclement with fearless courage and invincible determination.As long as one person succeeds in breaking through, our No.12 Division may have the possibility of rebuilding.
