LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 51
I have to say.
The commander-in-chief's worries are very reasonable.
In the next few days.
The devils launched continuous and fierce attacks in various places.
Their attack was sudden and fierce, and even the headquarters was greatly surprised, not to mention the many troops in the border areas.
Facing this sudden and fierce attack.
The border areas were obviously inferior to the devils in terms of strength and preparation, and they were naturally defeated in the early stage of the sweep.
Fortunately, most of the bases were built in rural mountainous areas.
Even if the devils' actions were swift, they were hindered by many terrains, which gave them a lot of buffer time.
But the situation was still extremely serious.
Finally.
In the afternoon of a certain day.
An accident occurred.
Whoosh!
It was a piece of yellow land.
Hillsides were lined with trees and hills were crisscrossed.
As a hidden area in the border area, few Japanese invaders would enter this place, but today, somehow, a group of Japanese invaders came from a distance.
This group of Japanese invaders seemed to have just jumped out of the wild, and the scouts within a radius of dozens of miles did not notice it.
They were numerous, totaling about a thousand people. The weapons in their hands were not only sophisticated but also reasonably matched. They had rifles, machine guns and artillery. Looking at their actions, they were neat and capable. It was obvious that their combat literacy was definitely not low.
Suddenly.
A young sergeant looked at the map, then looked at the compass in his hand, and his face suddenly changed.
"Sir!"
The young sergeant ran over in a hurry.
"What?"
"Sir! We've gone the wrong way!"
The young sergeant held the map and said anxiously, "We've deviated sixty degrees to the north!"
"Bagayada!"
Commander Yamazaki Jihei was immediately furious, and slapped the sergeant hard in the face, shouting, "Stop!"
Everyone stopped.
"This is--"
Looking at the trees all over the mountain and the steep slopes around, Yamazaki Jihei's face looked extremely ugly.
As one of the pioneers of this clearing operation.
He originally thought that he could be the first to establish merit for the empire, but he didn't expect that he only encountered a small group of Eighth Route Army at the beginning, and he didn't even encounter any resistance in the following days.
He was extremely confused.
Did the Eighth Route Army flee at the sight of the enemy?
But now I know-it turns out that they took the wrong way!
Suddenly.
At this time, soldiers came hurriedly in the distance.
He shouted loudly: "Report to the commander! We have walked out of the dense forest and found a strange target ahead!"
"Strange target?"
"Hai!"
"Let's go and take a look."
Yamazaki Jihei said with a stern look.
Just a moment.
The whole brigade has come to the outside of the dense forest.
"Yoshi!"
As soon as he arrived at the earth slope, Yamazaki Jihei picked up the telescope and just glanced slightly. He suddenly became very excited: "I didn't expect this to be the arsenal of the Eighth Route Army!"
Yes.
This group of devils actually found the military factory in the border area by chance.
At this time, the military factory under the telescope was full of busy figures. Many soldiers used carriages to transfer various equipment and resources nervously. Almost no one noticed that they had been targeted by the devils.
"This is really God's help!"
Yamazaki Jihei, who was just furious, was overjoyed. He waved his hand and shouted coldly: "Get ready! Take this place. My Yamazaki Battalion will definitely be the meritorious unit of this cleanup!"
Huh!
Soon.
The group of devils immediately rushed to the defenseless arsenal.
...
Bang bang bang!
Da da da!
Artillery fire and bullets flying.
It was no surprise that the Yamazaki Battalion took down the arsenal with its combat power, and the Eighth Route Army obviously could not see its own arsenal being destroyed, so it immediately sent out several troops to rescue.
Artillery roared.
The battle continued.
Although the Eighth Route Army launched a crazy attack, the Yamazaki Battalion was an elite force of more than a thousand people after all, and it was well rested and occupied an advantageous terrain. How could it be easily repelled?
For a whole half day.
All the attacks were extremely unsuccessful.
Of course.
This unexpected battle quickly attracted the attention of all parties.
…
Mishanao.
Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
"How was this battle fought?"
The commander-in-chief looked at the map with anger on his face, and said angrily: "Didn't we order all logistics departments to start moving earlier? How can the Yamazaki Battalion still get to our border military factory?"
"Don't be angry, Chief!"
The chief of staff beside him hurriedly advised: "In fact, this can't be blamed on our troops. The border military factory took a lot of effort to build., many troops rely on this area for supplies. Although the previous attack of the devils was fierce, there was no fighting at the arsenal, so the troops below wanted to move as much as possible! "
"This is nonsense!"
"Alas--"
The chief of staff sighed and said: "Most of our supplies for the Eighth Route Army have to rely on ourselves, and the troops below are really difficult! Besides-this time, the Yamazaki Battalion was just a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, and ran into our border area arsenal. I think the other party may not even know it in advance."
"Yeah."
The commander-in-chief's expression eased slightly.
The chief of staff said: "Chief, what should we do now?"
"Humph!"
The commander-in-chief looked at the map and said grimly: "The devil's sudden attack this time is certainly not good for us, but from the recent actions, they are not fully prepared in advance. You see, several troops here have been disconnected, especially the Yamazaki Battalion, and there is no reinforcement around. ”
“What does the commander mean?”
“Kill the Yamazaki Battalion!”
The commander-in-chief slammed the table and said loudly: “Humph! This devil is too arrogant! With just a battalion of devils, they dare to come to sweep the hinterland of my base. If this kind of advancing force is not taken down, my base will face endless harassment. No matter what, we must not let the Yamazaki Battalion leave the base alive!”
“Yes, commander! "
The chief of staff immediately received the order.
…
Da da da!
Bang bang bang!
The battle became extremely fierce with the interweaving of machine guns and artillery.
As the command was determined to completely eliminate this isolated army, the divisional units at all levels nearby immediately joined the battle.
The Eighth Route Army was also holding back their anger after being swept by the devils a few days ago. Now that they finally got such a fighting opportunity, everyone was crazy about fighting.
The brigade did not slack off at all.
In a very short time, two main regiments were mobilized to advance rapidly in a left and right pincer formation, trying to completely annihilate this devil unit.
But the battle was still difficult.
The two main regiments advanced from different directions in succession, and launched more than a dozen rounds of strong attacks in succession, but still failed to conquer the Yamazaki Battalion. Instead, they suffered heavy casualties from the opponent's counterattack.
It has to be said.
The combat effectiveness of this devil battalion is indeed extremely strong!
