Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Chapter 168 The 8th Army is Amazing

This matter really cannot be blamed on observers from various countries.

In fact, everyone knew very well the financial situation of the Eighth Route Army.

In Longguo, the Eighth Route Army was just a remnant of the Anti-Japanese War.

There is basically no chance of winning in a head-on battle with the Japanese.

It’s not that the Eighth Route Army is unwilling to fight head-on and is only willing to fight guerrilla warfare.

It was because the Eighth Route Army had no supplies and was not financially prosperous.

There are no weapons, ammunition, heavy industry, military factories and other things that are essential for a country.

The formation of the team and the replenishment of weapons and ammunition were obtained by fighting the Japanese.

Otherwise, they would pick up the junk that the Central Army doesn't want and treat it as treasure.

It really makes me shed tears when I talk about it.

Basically every Eighth Route Army soldier knew this.

Therefore, the Eighth Route Army was unable to engage in direct field combat with the Japanese.

Observers from various countries are very clear about this matter.

However, just half a year ago, this mysterious Eighth Route Army team appeared.

Now observers from various countries are all confused.

Who said the Eighth Route Army was a beggar army?

Who said that the Eighth Route Army couldn’t fight the Japanese head-on in the field?

Now please look at this, isn’t this a frontal battle?

This is not only useful in frontal field battles, but can also directly surround the Japanese troops who outnumber our own by several times.

Then just eat it all bite by bite.

Not even one prisoner was taken.

With such terrifying combat power, you tell me that the Eighth Route Army can’t fight the Japanese in the field?

Now everyone knows that the Eighth Route Army has always been low-key.

What is the purpose?

Naturally, the purpose is to train such a strong Eighth Route Army team.

Because of this, members of the Military Observer Country have also shown great interest in this mysterious Eighth Route Army Independent Division.

The whole world is constantly reporting on this mysterious armed force far in the East.

It was also the first time that Zhang Ling's name resounded throughout the world.

As for Yan'an.

Zhang Ling's outstanding performance has also given the entire Yan'an great confidence in him.

Everyone in Yan'an also gave orders directly to the boss.

The safety and integrity of the independent division must be ensured.

And once Taiyuan is taken, the independent division and the headquarters will move into Taiyuan together.

It is imperative to develop these large cities captured by the Eighth Route Army.

As a solid foundation for the war of resistance.

At present, there is no much suspense in the entire Taiyuan position.

Some of the remaining 20 Japanese soldiers were wounded.

Some of them were simply frightened.

Although the remaining part still dared to fight, they were basically killed instantly as soon as they showed their heads.

There are no other problems.

And the most important point is that the Japanese also understand it.

It seems that the Eighth Route Army team on the opposite side is not the Eighth Route Army we met before.

These Japanese devils could never understand why hundreds of thousands of people were blocked and beaten by 50,000 people in Taiyuan.

There is really nothing I can do to figure it out.

Terauchi Hisaichi was in the Taiyuan Command Center, jumping up and down in anxiety but unable to do anything about it.

But there's no point in being anxious, because it's very simple.

Taiyuan has now in fact become an isolated city.

The Eighth Route Army had occupied the cities in front and behind Taiyuan one by one.

Because Terauchi Hisaichi concentrated all his efforts on attacking the Eighth Route Army liberated areas.

As a result, the cities in the rear were basically guarded by puppet troops.

When the puppet army had the Japanese around, they could just do some loafing or something.

But now there are no more Japs.

What else can these puppet troops accomplish?

As soon as the Eighth Route Army troops appeared, they immediately surrendered.

Moreover, these puppet soldiers are not fools.

The Japanese in northwestern Shanxi suffered such a heavy blow.

Anyone who is not a fool knows that things are about to change in northwest Shanxi.

Why don't you surrender now?

What are you waiting for?

Do you still want to resist?

Besides, these puppet soldiers are just trying to make a living.

As long as you don't have any blood on your hands, the Eighth Route Army will not make things difficult for you.

After all, most of the puppet soldiers are just honest civilians who are fighting for their lives.

You can't always blame others.

Therefore, most of the puppet troops surrendered directly.

Of course, there were also a small number of puppet troops who resisted stubbornly.

This part of the puppet army is the real traitor and evil people.

Therefore, surrender means death, and not surrendering also means death.

Let's just fight to the death.

Fortunately, the overall battle to liberate North China was not too troublesome.

Originally it was divided into three stages according to the historical Hundred Regiments Campaign.

In the first stage, the battle is completely over.

The Eighth Route Army still followed the historical trend and sent out 300,000 troops.

It dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese's arrogance.

But the problem is because of the existence of independent divisions.

Therefore, the 300,000 troops of the Eighth Route Army were directly divided into N routes.

Crazy attempt to seize cities in North China.

For a time, most of Shanxi was taken by the Eighth Route Army, and a small part was taken by the Central Army.

Henan was dominated by the Central Army, and the Eighth Route Army had no way of taking it.

However, the Eighth Route Army went northward and quickly captured some cities in Rehe.

Because of the problem of delivery capability, the final results of this battle were distributed.

The Eighth Route Army expanded its influence to Shanxi, Hebei, and some cities in Gansu and Shanxi.

The sphere of influence of the liberated areas is much larger than before.

They also occupied many areas rich in resources.

This provided excellent conditions for Zhang Ling to establish heavy industry and military industry in Taiyuan and Jiefangqi in the future.

The Japanese troops were all concentrated in Taiyuan.

He was trapped to death.

After learning of this situation, the Kwantung Army in the Northeast originally planned to go south to rescue.

But in the end, because the Russian bear in the north was watching covetously, the Kwantung Army did not dare to move at all.

This gave the Eighth Route Army a chance to catch its breath.

Wait until everything is settled.

Only then did Zhang Ling order the independent division to launch a general attack.

At the same time, inside the Taiyuan Headquarters.

Terauchi Juichi finally issued the final counterattack order.

Order the Japanese troops to immediately use the biological bombs transported from Unit 731 in Northeast China.

The last 100 planes left in the Air Force Corps did not dare to take off before.

Now we have to take off.

The purpose is to drop the biological bomb on the battlefield.

On the battlefield of Longguo, the Japanese often had to fight without paying attention.

They will directly use bacterial bombs.

Such a biological bomb can quickly cause heavy casualties to the defending army.

Therefore, the purpose of using Terauchi Juichi at this time was naturally very simple.

However, Zhang Ling already knew all of this clearly.

Through his bird's-eye view, Zhang Ling had already seen clearly that he was inside the Taiyuan Airport.

100 Japanese aviation regiment planes are hanging a special bomb.
