Chapter 152: The Independent Division is Too Fierce
Terauchi Hisaichi was sitting on the plane, looking at the information sent by the Japanese from the Intelligence Department.
His whole body was numb.
This battle report made Terauchi Juichi doubt the combat effectiveness of the imperial Japanese for the first time.
"Are these still our imperial warriors? Why were they defeated by the Eighth Route Army's independent division after three hours of fighting?"
"Why is this?" Terauchi Juichi obviously couldn't believe such a battle report.
But there was certainly no need for the intelligence department to deceive him.
This is especially true for those on the front lines.
Kimura Heitaro on the side quickly said: "Terauchi-kun, we have received information before."
"This independent division of the Eighth Route Army is a very special army."
"They appear to have very strong logistical and military production capabilities."
"I remember that Lord Shinozuka Yoshio was also wiped out because of this mysterious army."
"We underestimated the enemy." Kimura Heitaro looked at Terauchi Hisaichi seriously and said.
Obviously, everything now points to the fact that on the battlefield, the Eighth Route Army Independent Division's powerful combat effectiveness exceeds that of the Japanese devils.
Even if Terauchi Juichi didn't believe it in his heart, the information in his hands would not lie.
Now, the choice is before him, if he doesn't make it soon.
Then it is very likely that this time the North China combat plan will completely fail.
You know, out of 3 people, only were left after three hours of fighting.
In other words, more than half of them were killed directly by the independent division of the Eighth Route Army.
With such terrifying combat power, it is obvious that the so-called elite troops of the empire are likely no match.
Therefore, there are only two options before Terauchi Juichi.
Either provide support immediately or withdraw troops.
Seeing this, Terauchi Hisaichi looked at Kimura Heitaro and said, "Kimura-kun, let's look at the current situation."
"What do you think we should do?"
"I think we should consider retreating, or even shrinking the battle line to Taiyuan."
"Lure the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to attack us. Maybe we can even counterattack."
"If we continue to fight the Eighth Route Army in the field, I'm afraid we..."
Although Kimura Heitaro didn't finish his words, Terauchi Juichi basically understood them.
What else is there to say nowadays.
If we retreat now, we can actually stabilize the front line.
But if you still want to attack and support at this time.
Then he is really a fill-in-the-line baby.
But Terauchi Juichi obviously did not want to admit defeat.
No, to be precise, Terauchi Juichi had no way of admitting defeat.
As the commander-in-chief of this North China combat plan.
If Terauchi Juichi failed to complete the task, there would even be a humiliating defeat.
Then the base will definitely not let him go.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Terauchi Juichi finally gritted his teeth and said, "We can't retreat."
"We must provide support immediately."
"Order the troops near the Zhengtai Railway and Jingxing to quickly move towards Mengxian."
"Tell them to rescue the trapped soldiers."
"But, Commander..."
Kimura Heitaro wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Terauchi Juichi: "Kimura-kun, I know what you are thinking."
"But I must also remind you that there are still people in the base camp who want to laugh at us."
"This time, our North China Operation Plan is an opportunity for our seniors at the headquarters to shut up those navy idiots."
"If we mess up out there, those navy idiots will laugh at us like crazy."
"These naval idiots who live a good life have no idea how poor people like us would like to serve our country for our entire lives."
"Kimura-kun, you can't lose!" Terauchi Hisamichi looked at him.
These words touched Kimura Heitaro.
He also nodded repeatedly: "Commander, please allow me to go to the front line."
"If possible, I hope to personally lead the soldiers to capture the commander of this mysterious Eighth Route Army alive."
"I want to see who he is?" said Heitaro Kimura.
At this moment, Terauchi Juichi was already overwhelmed.
Because he was worried about being liquidated by the headquarters, Terauchi Hisaichi also made a desperate move.
Agreed to Kimura Heitaro's request.
"Order the driver to return to Taiyuan immediately."
"Kimura-kun, I will personally carry out the practice for you. I wish you a successful start!"
"Hayi!"
……
The Japanese's North China campaign plan has just begun.
Vast.
Let the whole world know.
Moreover, the whole world knows that this time the army was fighting to defend North China from the Japanese invaders.
It is the mysterious Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.
Now it has become an independent division.
Moreover, the Japanese had a total force of 55, while the independent division had only 5.
There is a gap in weapons and equipment as well as number of people between the two sides.
Strictly speaking, from the very beginning of this battle, even the boss only hoped that Zhang Ling and the independent division could hold out for three months.
In order to mobilize the Eighth Route Army in the rear and find ways to mobilize war materials.
After all, fighting a war requires a huge amount of supplies.
The Eighth Route Army did not have sufficient supplies, but the Japanese wanted to take the initiative to attack.
Then the Eighth Route Army must take over.
Because of this, the boss asked Zhang Ling to hold on for three months.
Three months was enough time for the Eighth Route Army to obtain a large amount of supplies.
Originally everyone thought it would be a horrific meat grinder.
Under the powerful firepower attack of the Japanese, the independent division paid an extremely heavy price.
But no one expected that once the war broke out.
The whole scene presents a kind of beauty that is inverted.
The moment the boss received the information from the intelligence department when he was standing anxiously at the headquarters.
The boss himself was confused.
"Political Commissar, how come the team led by Zhang Ling is so evil?"
"The Japanese had 55 soldiers, and the vanguard had only 15. He wiped out more than half of them in just three hours."
"Now look carefully, I'm afraid that the remaining 7 Japanese soldiers will not be able to hold out until the afternoon." The boss said as he looked at the battle report in his hand.
The political commissar, staff officers and others also gathered around the sand table for an emergency review.
However, no matter how anyone looked at it or thought about it, they could not figure out how the independent division managed to kill as many as 3 of the Japanese vanguard troops in just three hours.
What kind of terrifying fighting power is this?
"Boss." The political commissar who was smoking nearby suddenly said cheerfully, "Let me see."
"There is no need for us to think about this matter."
"Anyway, the independent division is fighting very well now."
"Let the independent division fight, and fight hard."
"Nowadays, a lot of publicity has been done throughout Yan'an."
"The Ugly People also sent an observation group to observe, and then the Chongqing side."
"Chiang Kai-shek was also very anxious, but it was useless."
"If the independent division wins this battle."
"We might be able to organize troops to liberate Taiyuan and take over the entire northwest of Shanxi!"
