I am a wolf warrior

After paying the casualties of three more team members, the last commando finally arrived in front of the cannon tower of the stronghold.

After struggling to climb to the bottom of a shooting hole, the commando didn't hesitate at all. He pulled the fuse of the cluster grenade and stuffed it through the shooting hole.

The space inside the turret is relatively wide, and there are many shooting holes. In order to prevent the ghosts and puppet troops inside from throwing the cluster grenades through other shooting holes, the commando did not have the first shot after stuffing the cluster grenades into the shooting holes. Time let go and retreated, but kept holding it tightly.

The screams of the devils and puppet soldiers sounded in the gun tower.

Then there were devils and puppet soldiers who snatched the grenades.

The commandos held the grenade tightly and would not let go.

Immediately, his left arm went numb, and he could no longer feel his fingers.

The commando snorted in pain. He knew that his left hand had been cut off by the devil with a saber, but even so, he still held the cluster grenade tightly with his remaining right hand and refused to release it.

Immediately afterwards, his right forearm went numb, and he lost all consciousness.

The commando looked miserable, and his hands were cut off by the devils.

At this moment, the cluster grenade finally exploded with a bang.

More than a dozen grenades exploded at the same time, generating a powerful shock wave, which tore the not-so-strong gun tower to pieces, and the commandos hanging on the firing holes were also torn apart.

"Kill!" Xu Yougeng roared, jumped up from the trench and rushed forward.

Behind Xu Yougeng, more than a hundred soldiers from the guard company rushed forward like a flood.

The devils and puppet troops hiding in the cannon tower were either killed or buried alive, but the devils and puppet troops in the remaining two bunkers and the surrounding foxholes were not affected.

The puppet army has been completely frightened.

"I surrender! Eighth Master, I surrender!"

A puppet army took the lead in kneeling down, raised their guns and surrendered.

Then the surviving puppet army knelt down on the ground.

It's just a mess, is it worth fighting the Eighth Route Army?

The remaining 20 or so devils still tried to resist stubbornly, and rushed out of the trenches and bunkers with the [-]th Gai with a good bayonet, and started hand-to-hand combat with the Eighth Route Army.

Amidst the banging of bayonets, devils kept falling to the ground.

The devil had met his opponent this time. The soldiers of the independent regiment guard company were not only excellent in assassination skills, but also physically strong. They were completely different from the Central Army, Jinsui Army, and Sichuan Army that the devil had encountered before.

The brutal hand-to-hand combat ended quickly, and all the little devils were stabbed to death.

Li Yunlong didn't even catch one, he was so angry that he jumped and cursed.

"Xu Yougeng, why are you so quick at Gou Ri?"

"That can't be helped, little devils don't take beatings."

"Look again, maybe there are still alive."

"Head, here's one."

"Mother, leave it to me."

……

Maeda Hideo, who was sleeping, was awakened by a faint explosion.

When he just woke up, Maeda Hideo thought he was dreaming, and after a while, he fell back on the couch.

However, in the next second, there was another explosion sound, and this time the explosion sound was clearer than before. It was obviously not a dream.

idiot!

Where did the explosion come from?

Maeda Hideo cursed and hurriedly put on her clothes and got up.

When Hideo Maeda was fully dressed and walked into the war room, he saw that several staff officers on duty were already busy, and the chief of staff, Yuzaru Kimura, was waiting in the telecommunications office to answer the phone.

"Maxi Maxi, this is the brigade headquarters."

"Nani? A dozen strongholds around your Sangzhang were attacked at the same time?"

"What did you say? The dozen or so strongholds around your Niangziguan Railway Station have all been attacked? And two of the strongholds have lost contact?"

"Maxi Maxi..."

The four telephones in the telecommunications office kept ringing non-stop.

And it was ringing again as soon as I hung up, and it kept ringing.

Maeda Hideo didn't step forward to help, but his expression became gloomy a little bit.

The old devil can be said to have experienced many battles, and he has already smelled the breath of war in the air.

It wasn't until several staff officers from the communication department got up and arrived that Kimura Yukao finally got out of the endless phone ringing, and walked to Maeda Hideo with a dark face.

"Brigade Commander, the situation is not right."

Kimura Yong said: "Sangzhang, Shishi, Niangziguan, and Lujiazhuang strongholds reported that the second-level strongholds outside them were simultaneously attacked by Tuba Road!"

"Several secondary strongholds have lost contact."

"If nothing else happens, the phone line should have been cut."

"Brigade Commander, this is likely to be a large-scale offensive organized by the Eighth Route Army."

Maeda Hide said: "Mr. Kimura, it's not a possibility, but a certainty. This must be a large-scale offensive carefully organized by the Eighth Route Army against the strongholds along the Zhengtai Railway!"

Kimura Yong said: "Do you want to order the Yamazaki Brigade and the Okaza Brigade to go for reinforcements?"

Maeda Hide said: "How many secondary strongholds have been attacked so far?"

"Probably more than 40." Kimura Yong replied, "However, the communication department's calls have not stopped. I estimate that more secondary strongholds will be attacked in the future."

As soon as the voice fell, a communications staff officer ran over.

"Brigade Commander!" the communication staff officer reported, "Shanghu, Mashou, Langyu, Yanzigou, and Qinquan Station and dozens of secondary strongholds outside the first-level strongholds have been fully attacked."

"Nani?" Kimura Yuu lost his voice, "Have they all been attacked?"

"Hayi." The communications staff paused and said, "The nine first-level strongholds west of Niangziguan have all called, saying that all the second-level strongholds around them have been attacked!"

"Baga." Kimura Yong yelled with a dark face, "How can I save this?"

Maeda Hideo said: "There is no need to save, immediately issue an order to all the first-level strongholds west of Niangziguan, and let them withdraw all the guards from the outer second-level strongholds!"

"Report our situation to the 8th Brigade."

"If there is no accident, the stronghold east of Niangziguan must also be within the attack range of the Eighth Route Army. Let the 8th Brigade quickly withdraw its troops from the outer strongholds!"

The old devil's sense of smell is still very keen.

He already had a premonition that the Eighth Route Army was about to launch a large-scale offensive.

At this time, the first thing to do is to shrink your strength and stick to a few dozen large strongholds. Otherwise, the defenders guarding more than 100 secondary strongholds outside will be easily defeated one by one.

"Hai!" Kimura Yong personally delivered the order.

Hideo Maeda said to the communications staff officer standing in front of him: "Immediately report to the headquarters of the 1st Army that all secondary strongholds along Zhengtai Road have been attacked by the Eighth Route Army!"

Communications staff officer: "Hay!"

……

An hour later, Taiyuan.

Takashi Tanaka, Chief of Staff of the 1st Army of the Japanese Army in Shanxi, walked quickly into the combat hall of the headquarters, and saw several combat staff officers from the combat department planting small blue flags on the sand table.

Walk up to the sand table and take a look,

Good guy, the entire sand table is almost filled with little blue flags!

This means that there are wars everywhere in Shanxi, and it's getting bigger!

"Chief of Staff!" Chief of Operations Section Takashi Sakamoto said with a slight pause, "One hour ago, around zero o'clock, more than 200 secondary strongholds along the Zhengtai Railway, Tongpu Railway, and Baijin Railway were attacked at the same time! And this It's not a harassing attack like before."

"What do you mean?"

Tanaka Longji said: "Please explain clearly."

"Hayi!" Ryu Sakamoto paused and said, "The Eighth Route Army is coming aggressively, and it seems that they are preparing to attack more than 200 secondary strongholds along Zhengtai Road, Tongpu Road, and Baijin Road in one fell swoop."

"Nani?" Longji Tanaka was startled when he heard this.

Before this, although the Eighth Route Army had already posed a threat to the Japanese army in North China, most of the time it still only dared to ambush the Japanese army's transport troops. It is extremely rare for the targets to attack at the same time.

"When did the Eighth Route Army become so powerful?"

"It has the ability to attack hundreds of targets?"

While speaking, hurried footsteps sounded outside the combat hall.

Looking back, I saw Yoshio Shinozuka walking in with a dark face.

Behind Yoshio Shinozuka, Kazuki Yamamoto followed with the same stern face.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Longji Tanaka and the others hurriedly stopped their feet and stood at attention before nodding their heads.

Shinozuka Yoshio waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Tanaka-kun, what's the situation now?"

Tanaka Longji said with a dark face: "About an hour ago, the 3rd Brigade, the 4th Brigade and the 36th Division reported to the headquarters at the same time that more than 200 second-level soldiers along Tongpu Road, Zhengtai Road and Baijin Road The stronghold was attacked by the Eighth Route Army at the same time, and it was not a harassing attack, but a frontal attack!"

"Now the whole of Shanxi is fighting everywhere."

"Nani!" Yoshio Shinozuka was stunned when he heard this.

Kazuki Yamamoto also growled in disbelief: "Is the Eighth Route Army going to commit suicide?"

The first reactions of Shinozuka Yoshio and Yamamoto Kazuki were shock and disbelief.

Since they first entered the Shanxi battlefield in 37 and fought against the Eighth Route Army for the first time, the combat methods of the Eighth Route Army have hardly changed.

The Eighth Route Army never launched a frontal offensive.

In addition to ambush or sneak attack, it is to hit a few gun towers.

It was not until the end of last year that there was a record of the Eighth Route Army attacking a first-level stronghold and succeeding, that is, the 386 Brigade Independent Regiment broke through the Huting stronghold and wiped out the defenders.

So Yoshio Shinozuka and Kazuki Yamamoto couldn't imagine that the Eighth Route Army would attack more than 200 secondary strongholds along Zhengtai Road, Tongpu Road and Baijin Road at the same time!are you crazy?

But after the shock, the two felt deeply afraid again.

Shinozuka Yoshio sighed, "Has the Eighth Route Army grown so strong?"

"The Eighth Route Army already has such organizational capabilities?" Kazuki Yamamoto's focus was on another level, "The timing of the choice is also excellent! It happens to be when our 1st Army's strength is the most empty!"

Takashi Tanaka asked: "Your Excellency, Commander, do you order the 9th Brigade to divide and attack?"

"No." Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand and said, "Until the exact intentions of the Eighth Route Army are known, the 9th Brigade must not act rashly. It’s not too late to respond, anyway, the imperial army is firmly in control of the three railway lines, allowing for rapid maneuvering.”

Takashi Tanaka asked: "What about the more than 200 secondary strongholds on the periphery?"

"All the garrison teams of the second-level strongholds have all withdrawn to the first-level strongholds in the center." Yoshio Shinozuka said, "It doesn't matter if they can't withdraw, if you lose thousands of imperial troops and soldiers of the imperial association army, you can exchange for a The opportunity of the Eighth Route Army's decisive battle is undoubtedly very worthwhile for our First Army."

"Decisive battle?" Tanaka Longji was stunned when he heard this.

"Tanaka-kun, don't you think this is an opportunity?"

Kazuki Yamamoto interjected: "What has been bothering the 1st Army the most?"

"Of course it is the endless harassment of the Eighth Route Army." Tanaka Longji said, "They are like annoying flies. If you drive them away, they will fly away. If you don't pay attention, they will fly back and bite you."

Kazuki Yamamoto said: "But now, the fly has grown fangs and is going to fight the imperial army head-on! Isn't this a god-sent opportunity for the imperial army to wipe out the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop?"

"Soga!" Tanaka Longji suddenly realized.

"Order." Shinozuka Yoshio said in a deep voice, "The 3rd Brigade, 4th Brigade, and 8th Brigade, immediately investigate the strength and unit numbers of the Eighth Route Army in this area."

"The combat class began to draw up a counterattack plan."

"The intelligence department immediately launched an investigation into the Jinsui Army and the Central Army,"

"Determine whether the Eighth Route Army's large-scale offensive is acting alone, or in conjunction with the Jinsui Army and the Central Army? If possible, we can properly release goodwill to the Jinsui Army and the Central Army."

"Hayi!" Several class heads nodded heavily at the same time, and hurried away.

I have to say that Yoshio Shinozuka, an old devil, is still a bit powerful.

The old devil is already planning for a rainy day, preparing for the deployment of troops from the front line in southern Shanxi to return to aid.

Because there are three divisions of the 1st Army stationed in Lu'an, Fenyang, and Linfen in southern Shanxi!
