Others show their swords, I show my missiles!

The Hessian Cavalry Regiment was forming its formation. As soon as they formed their formation, they were hit by a round of artillery fire.

The Second Artillery Battalion was originally used to support the First Infantry Regiment in blocking the 16th Brigade. For the purpose of more training, Wang Chengzhu asked the Second Battalion to support a wave of long-range artillery fire.

These are 36 high-explosive howitzer shells. In an open area, the fragmentation radius is up to 60 meters, and it is still lethal even at 350 meters. Equipped with an air-explosion fuse, the killing range is larger.

That is to say, the Second Battalion's first actual combat was not so accurate, and the Hessian Regiment's baggage train was completely destroyed, and the cavalry only killed less than 100 people.

Although the war horses are battle-hardened, they cannot stand this battle. It saves the previous process of slow walking, fast walking, jogging, accelerating, etc. The war horses were frightened and instinctively stayed away from the bombing area and ran towards the blocking position.

Wu Qingyun secretly cursed Yang Zihua, the commander of the [-]nd Artillery Battalion: "You can't practice like this if I ask you to practice your skills! I only have so many devils left for me, and they are not enough to fill the gap between my teeth!"

The Japanese were still 500 meters away from the position when the heavy machine gun opened fire. The effective range of the 12.7mm heavy machine gun is 1500 meters. It can shoot accurately at 500 meters. The machine guns on both sides also opened fire simultaneously.

Some Japs were hit by several or even dozens of bullets at the same time. Just like the Japs in Li Jiapo, it was impossible to tell which organs belonged to which person, and they were all piled together.

The machine guns gave priority to hitting the surrounding Japanese soldiers, and the war horses instinctively ran toward the center. Immediately afterwards, they were shot by the machine gun center and rushed to the surrounding areas. After a cycle, there were less than 80 Japs left that had not been turned into minced meat. These Japanese soldiers lost their fighting spirit and wanted to escape.

How could Wu Qingyun let the Japanese go back? And even if Wu Qingyun gave an order for the soldiers to stop attacking. I'm afraid the soldiers would rather disobey orders than let the Japanese pay with their blood!

There are no innocent people among the soldiers who invaded our country. Even if they have not killed anyone, they have indirectly killed our compatriots. Even if they are occasionally merciful, they cannot cover up the brutal nature of the invaders.

For example, Shao Dijun was rumored to have intended to prevent the Jiankang Massacre. The order was already issued before he signed it. But he also implemented the three-guang policy. For such a person, only two words were spoken during the Tokyo trial: "Not guilty"!

Probably the judges did not take seriously the Chinese people who died under the Three-Kuang Policy and felt that the deaths of these people were insignificant because they were Chinese people, not Westerners.

What greeted this group of Japs was a harvester composed of 40 machine guns, which harvested the bodies and souls of the Japs without any emotion. A Japanese man with many evil deeds is not even qualified to be reborn in a pig farm after his death. He will probably stay in the 18th level of hell forever and be put in a frying pan every day.

There were five Japanese soldiers left. They threw down their sabers and knelt on the ground, shouting something. It was a bit far away and they couldn't hear clearly.

It seems to be shouting: "Cry for Sassi, cry for poison!"

This is surrender! The soldiers' gunshots stopped. After all, they had discipline and could not kill prisoners. But I always feel uncomfortable in my heart - the Japanese came to our country, killed countless people, and defiled countless sisters. Now that you can't fight, just say "I won't fight! Surrender!" I can't kill you, but I still want to eat, drink and entertain you. Why!

Wu Qingyun personally picked up a sniper rifle and called names one by one. There is no company commander of a special operations group who cannot use a sniper rifle.

Under the leadership of Wu Qingyun, the soldiers resumed shooting, and soon all the Japanese hurried to hell.

Wu Qingyun gathered his troops and had people clean the battlefield carefully, replenishing those who were still intact with their guns. I don't feel bad about the bullets, but it is absolutely not allowed to be injured while cleaning the battlefield, or to be killed or injured by the Japanese pretending to be dead.

"Comrades, what are those five Japs going to do in the end?"

"Company commander, they want to shoot..." This man was kicked by someone unknown.

"...Bombs, they dismounted and looked for cover to drop bombs on us! I heard them shouting, 'Grenade wash the ground, spread it out'! In order to avoid casualties, we killed these stubborn ones before they dropped bombs. Devil!"

"Well, I don't understand Japanese, so that's probably what it means." Wu Qingyun nodded.

"I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will offend them! What's more, they still refuse to repent and want to bomb us with thunder!"

"Three platoon leaders!"

"Have!"

"Look carefully for their alliance flag. This is a good thing. If this thing is seized, their alliance will have to cancel its designation and never build it again."

"Yes!"

After searching for a long time, I couldn't find it. I guess it was blown up by Yang Zihua? Although the Japanese would burn the alliance flag in advance when they felt that the entire army was about to be annihilated, there should not be such a chance this time.

In fact, the real situation makes people speechless: the Hessian Cavalry Regiment did not bring this thing out at all! You have to prepare a flag guarding team when you bring them out, it's in the way! And there are risks.

The soldiers dragged away the horses that were still edible to the common people around them and ate them. The taste of horse meat is not as good as beef, let alone cornmeal steamed buns. The soldiers of the Independence Brigade felt this way.

Now the soldiers see whole grains just like they saw beef a year ago!

Souchong Kazuo sent two more reconnaissance planes and two Type 4 fighters, all of which never returned. Provided [-] valuable target drones to the air defense regiment.

In fact, more fighters could have been sent. The Ergouzi who was harmed by the Japanese had a grudge and put some laxatives in the food of the Japanese aviation troops.

It caused many Japanese soldiers to have diarrhea, but in the end it helped the Japanese soldiers and caused them to lose fewer fighter opportunities.

He was still afraid of death. Although he wanted to resist, he did not dare to use lethal drugs. He only dared to use drugs that would make the Japanese uncomfortable but would not lead to the investigation.

As time went by, Souchong became more and more uneasy, and felt more and more that something was wrong: he could not contact Yamazaki; the fighter planes disappeared as often as they went, and even the news could not be sent back, as if there was a bottomless pit there that specialized in eating fighter planes. .

Xiao Zhong asked his staff to contact the Hessian Regiment. They were cavalry and could know the situation of the battle at the earliest.

However, the Hessian Cavalry Regiment cannot be contacted either!

Xiaozhong suddenly felt horrified. Years of war acumen allowed him to immediately order the three brigades that were reinforcing Li Jiapo to stop advancing and build fortifications on the spot.

Souchong hesitated again and again, but still sent a telegram to Jun Dijun, the commander of the North China Front, detailing the intelligence he had and his judgment: Yamazaki Battalion and Hessen Regiment must have suffered a sudden, powerful, and devastating blow. . Otherwise, it would be impossible to lose contact, and there would be no chance to even send a telegram; in addition, the enemy should have new anti-aircraft weapons, which look like "birds" and can explode.

At the same time, it was reported that Xiyang County was attacked by heavy artillery, the caliber should be more than 100 mm, and a county town only held out for one hour. Afterwards, the eight-pronged group marched south.

Summarizing the above information, we can know that at least one unit of the Eighth Route Army is extremely well-equipped! It should be in the Wuxiang area now.

When Shao Dijun just heard these words, he couldn't believe it. But after repeated explanations by Souchong, he felt that this matter was extraordinary and incredible. It feels like it is no longer something I can handle.

On the one hand, Shao Dijun ordered Xiaozhong to shrink his defenses and not to act rashly. On the one hand, he sent electricity to Jiankang's Higashikata Hisazo and Katagaki Seigono, and described in detail the information reported by Souchong and his own judgment.

After three days and three nights of secret discussions, Katagaki Seigono answered Shun Shaochi's call and conveyed Higashikata Tokuzo's opinions on his behalf. Ask Souchong Kazuo to stop attacking Wuxiang, give up Panlong Town, and shrink the defense on the outside. Keep this a strict secret. Adopt the strategy of defending from the north and attacking from the south to promote the merger of the southern factions as soon as possible.

This involves the allocation of military expenditures between the Army and the Navy. The Navy cannot be allowed to know that the Army has suffered a big loss. Otherwise, the Army will have leverage, and military spending will be even more tilted toward the Navy.

The contradiction between the island nation's army and navy is irreconcilable. The army wanted to land, but the navy did not provide ships, so the army had to build its own warships. The tonnage even exceeded that of the navy at one time, and five aircraft carriers were secretly built.

After receiving the order, Xiaozhong felt that it was just drinking poison to quench his thirst, but there was no better way. We can only hope that other battlefields will quickly plunder resources and develop new weapons. In this way, it is possible to fight against the Eighth Route Army.

The first stage of the Battle of Zhengtai Road severely wounded the Japanese army, and they met with crazy revenge from the Japanese army. In the second stage, when the Japanese army could not find the Eighth Route Army, they killed and set fire everywhere. Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians were brutally killed.

After the battle of Lijiapo, the little devils became honest, and the originally more severe sweep did not happen. The devils don’t dare! For fear of irritating the Eighth Route Army in Wuxiang, Taiyuan would be captured. They all shrunk to big cities and towns and became cowards, and some small strongholds and gun towers were abandoned.

After receiving the reports from various ministries, Li Yunlong said to Zhao Gang: "Old Zhao, you have something to do this time, prepare for the celebration banquet!"

"Well, you will die as many as you come. Souchong Kazuo should think about it carefully. I hope he has a hot head and sends those three brigades over."

"Xiao Zhong Yinan's brain must be wet. This battle was not satisfying!"

Li Yunlong reported the fighting situation in detail to the headquarters. In this battle, a dissatisfied brigade and a cavalry regiment were completely wiped out; 18 bombers, 2 reconnaissance planes, and 2 fighter planes were shot down.

No Japanese who invaded Wuxiang escaped through the net, and no one of our troops was injured or killed.

At that time, the Japs in Panlong Town had not yet evacuated, and of course the evacuation of the Japs from Panlong Town would not be reported.

This battle completely frightened Xiao Zhong Yinan and Shao Dijun! Even Shao Dijun was thinking: Should we withdraw the Japs west of Taihang and instigate conflicts between the Tu Imperial Army and the Eighth Route Army? Before receiving clear instructions from his superiors, he just thought about it and did not dare to take action.

But every day, I was worried, fearing that the Eighth Route Army would be ready and the army would push forward, causing one hundred thousand of our troops to be wiped out in ashes.

Although the Eighth Route Army's weapons and equipment have been updated a lot, there are many new recruits and lack of training.

For some top equipment, only independent brigades have partial combat effectiveness, and even independent brigades cannot exert their full combat effectiveness.

Therefore, the headquarters does not want to launch a larger battle. Although Yan'an's opinion is that the early harvest will be huge, and the vice president is asked to consider whether to organize several more major battles.

After collective discussion, the headquarters believed that the Japanese had basically stopped their retaliatory actions. Launching a larger battle at this time may lead to the Japanese taking desperate measures and seeking crazy revenge. Besides, our army is not ready either. In order to drive the Japanese army out of China as soon as possible, many soldiers' lives would have to be sacrificed, which was not cost-effective.

It is recommended to seize the favorable opportunity, digest the fruits of victory, and actively train troops to prepare for war.

At the same time, monitor the behavior of the Japanese and mobilize elite soldiers and strong generals to attack wherever there is oppression. Forcing the Japanese army not to act rashly. When the troops are fully recruited and trained in the coming year, they will regain the west of Taihang in one fell swoop.

Considering the dark psychology of the island country, it is difficult to completely restrain the behavior of the island army with just a piece of orders from Kazuo Souchong. Therefore, even if our army focuses on military training and does not launch major battles, battles will occur everywhere. In the long run, the results will not be small.

After research, Yan'an agreed to this strategy.

A few days later, Xiaozhong withdrew the defenses of Panlong Town. Our army took over this natural and excellent material transfer station.

After the independent brigade wins the battle, the merit points will increase, followed by system upgrades and unlocks, and this time is no exception.

The newly unlocked supplies include:

1. Long-range maximum 370mm box rocket launcher. The range can reach up to 500 kilometers, and using drone guidance, the error can be less than 10 meters. Adopting a modular design, the same launch vehicle can carry rockets of two calibers at the same time. Reloading only takes 10 minutes. It has the function of "one-button swapping and one-button firing", which can stop and fire at any time during maneuvering.

2. Vehicle-mounted 155mm howitzer.

3. High-altitude, high-speed stealth surveillance and attack integrated drone.

4. Heavy infantry fighting vehicle. It has a crew of 3 and can carry 7 soldiers.

5. Satellite technology.

6. Launch vehicle technology.

7. 1-nanometer chip technology that does not require a photolithography machine.

8. Canning equipment and technology.

9. Program-controlled telephone technology.

These things are temporarily unlocked. Most of these "technologies" no one will understand for a while. However, as the cultural level of the military and civilians in the base area improves, living conditions improve, and the Japs gradually converge, more people will engage in these research jobs.

随着几大批物资从后勤部相继运来，炮兵团进行了改组，由4个营扩编为6个营。采用2+2+2模式，即：两个火箭炮营+两个履带155自行榴弹炮营+两个车载155榴弹炮营。每个火箭炮营装备12辆火箭炮发射车；每个155榴弹炮营装备18门火炮。

The eliminated weapons were given to the old commander, Brigadier Chen, and two artillery talents were also given. Brigadier Chen was so happy that he almost suffered from insomnia.

The infantry regiment was expanded to six, equipped with heavy infantry fighting vehicles, and became a combined regiment. Each regiment has 6 battalions, including 8 combined battalions, an air defense battalion, an artillery battalion, a support battalion, a support battalion, and regiment-affiliated teams. Each combined battalion has about 4 to 600 people, and other battalions have fewer people, about 700 people.

With the approval of the headquarters and the top leadership, the number of independent brigade can reach up to 8.

Li Yunlong plans to recruit all the people before the Spring Festival and initially form combat effectiveness.

After this war, there was no situation where the Japanese army launched a large-scale retaliation after I showed my strength. Instead, the strategic focus was placed on the south.

Some aid plans that Omanric had originally rejected were revived. This made everyone more confident in the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

The local emperors of Shanxi regarded Shanxi as their home.

At this time, Chu Yunfei's position was also quite embarrassing. Both parties like him and are wary of him.

Chu Yunfei still refuses to antagonize our army and can barely be regarded as a friendly army. Chu Yunfei also realized that there would be a battle with our army in the future, but now is not the time. Because Chu Yunfei's position was different from that of the Tu Emperor, the 358th Regiment was gradually marginalized. This caused dissatisfaction among his subordinates.

The commander of the first battalion under Chu Yunfei was named Qian Baijun. He had a small number of 2000 people and was stationed in Lijia Town. Ernan, a high-ranking Japanese official in Heyuan City, sent a lobbyist to Lijia Town to win over Qian Baijun. Promise high officials and generous salaries. Qian Baijun was moved. Not only did he surrender to the enemy, he also intended to take away the 2000-man team.

If he succeeds, Chu Yunfei will lose 2000 people and will definitely be shot.

What a vicious plan that kills two birds with one stone!

Qian Baijun also euphemistically called it: "Save the country through curves."
