Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Story of the Chaebol

The Japanese soldiers who were fleeing in panic had no idea that there would be an ambush on their way.

The number of Japanese soldiers captured from the battlefield would never exceed two thousand. These people surrounded several old Japanese soldiers and fled frantically for their lives. This gave Fang Zhicheng an opportunity to let the Japanese soldiers get closer before fighting.

"beat!"

Following Fang Zhicheng's order, the soldiers ambushed around the path immediately launched a fierce attack on the Japanese.

At this time, on the small path in the valley, the sounds of mortar and grenade explosions were endless, and the sound of machine guns "da da da" was one after another.

"Protect the general!"

"Leave me alone, fight back!"

More than 24 Japanese devils were a considerable force, but the problem was that there were not many of them who were truly capable of fighting. After all, most of those who escaped were Japanese artillery and logistics soldiers. The real troops had been almost wiped out by Fang Zhicheng's th Regiment in the initial battle.

"My lords, I'm afraid we can't escape death today. So why don't we fight for the empire one last time!"

"Your Excellency General!"

"Stop talking. The enemy is intimidated here. It is obvious that they have long wanted to meet us once and for all. This time, it is my fault for underestimating the opponent, which has put you in danger. Now is the time for us to serve the Emperor. Are you willing to die with me?"

"We pledge our allegiance to the Empire until death, on board"

"Onboard!"

The more the Japanese were trapped and fighting, the crazier they became.

However, facing the absolute gap, the Japanese could not do anything even if they wanted to fight desperately.

The battle lasted only about twenty minutes before the supporting troops arrived. Then the two or so Japanese soldiers were completely wiped out in the valley path before them.

"Fuck, these little devils are really hard to deal with. There are only a few of them left, and they have caused more than a hundred casualties to our regiment."

"Don't be so conceited, you are just a hundred men, but my 23rd Regiment lost more than people."

"Alright, stop arguing as soon as you two meet. Let's get someone to clean up the battlefield. It's time for us to leave. This is still the Japanese territory after all. If we stay here for too long, who knows what kind of trouble they will cause."

"I say, Lao Zhang, why are you so weak? Why should we be afraid of the Japanese? We have three regiments of troops here. Even if the Japanese send several divisions, we can still deal with them."

"Stop bragging, there are still a few of them. If they send two more, we will be in big trouble. Stop talking nonsense, pack up and leave!"

After a simple cleanup of the battlefield, the three regiment commanders immediately led their troops to retreat southward.

In fact, when they launched the annihilation war against the Japanese, the Japanese division commander had already asked for help from the rear. Unfortunately, they were defeated too quickly. So when the reinforcements sent from the rear arrived at the battlefield, Fang Zhicheng and his three regiments had already returned to the territory of the National Defense Army. Even if the Japanese wanted to take revenge, they had no chance.

Shortly afterwards, the news that their three regiments had met a Japanese division on the Japanese territory was directly transmitted back to the country.

"Chief of Staff, good news. Our army recently wiped out an entire division of the Japanese in their territory. This is the first time since the war began that we have wiped out a complete division of the Japanese."

Although Nanhua had many battles with the Japanese, Nanhua used semi-mechanized warfare and advanced with large troop groups. This fighting method allowed Nanhua to eliminate a large number of the Japanese's manpower in a major battle.

However, this kind of fighting style also made it difficult to completely wipe out the Japanese troops. Most of the time, the Japanese would simply flee after suffering a heavy loss. This was why, even though Nanhua had caused over a million casualties to the Japanese in the past two years, there was no record of Nanhua destroying an entire Japanese division.

It has to be said that this has always been a regret for the entire Wehrmacht.

This time, this embarrassing record was finally broken, although the one they met was just a Type B division of the Japanese devils, which was not as valuable as a Type A division.

But once there is a first, there will be a second. This time, Fang Zhicheng and his men have set a good example for the South China National Defense Army.

"I have heard the news from the Minister. When I was in the military academy, Fang Zhicheng was the student with the most ideas and the most flexible mind. I thought that after sending him to the battlefield, this kid would definitely achieve something. I just didn't expect that this kid would bring me such a big surprise!"

Since returning from the North African battlefield, the Chief of Staff Peg Niller has been in charge of the work of the General Staff. As the former president of the National Defense University of Ancheng, he is of course happy for his students when he sees them become famous on the battlefield this time.

However, what to do with Jiang Shang and Fang Zhicheng next became a headache for him and Defense Minister Sun Xincheng.

This time, the contributions of Fang Zhicheng and the other two were not small, but the problem was that they were all relatively young, and today's Nanhua is no longer a newly founded country. The situation of seniority has already appeared in both the government and the military. It is definitely impossible to promote the three to the rank of major general at the moment, so Peg Nile and Sun Xincheng can only find a way to improve the positions of the three.
