"Brother, we are from the first battalion and third company of a certain regiment. We were ordered by the commander to come here to help defend Qiulin Town!"
When Liu Daya heard that they were coming to help defend Qiulin Town, he relaxed some of his vigilance and said to them at the top of his lungs:
"You guys wait a minute, I'll call to make a decision."
After all, the security of the Chief's Department was involved. No matter how careless Liu Daya was, he still had to call to verify his identity.
"Wait a minute, I didn't hear you guys stop there, why are you still going-"
"wrong!"
"Ta-ta-ta..."
Yamamoto, who was walking in front, knew he couldn't get through, so he pointed the submachine gun in his hand at Liu Daya, and poor Liu Daya was beaten into a sieve before he could react;
Other Japanese soldiers also opened fire on the other members of Liu Daya's platoon, calculated mentally and unintentionally. More than 70 special forces fought against more than 30 ordinary troops with little actual combat experience. This was not a battle, but a massacre.
After Yamamoto Kazuki entered Qiulin Town, he began to attack. Soon, more than 30 Jinsui troops at the checkpoint fell in a pool of blood. Yamamoto's special agent team only had 2 casualties.
Before the other two platoons in the town could react, Yamamoto's special agent team had already passed through the checkpoint and headed straight for the location of the World War II District Commander's Headquarters.
The sound of a sudden exchange of fire at the bayonet in Qiulin Town soon reached the chief's department. Chief Yan was frightened and asked loudly:
"Where's the shooting? Where's the guard camp?"
"Guo Gaoshen!"
Within a few minutes, Lieutenant General Guo and a group of guards walked in, surrounded by a man. This man was a replica of Commander Yan. Within a minute, Li Kui was replaced by Li Gui, and the real Commander Yan was dressed in the military uniform of a major. Escaped from the headquarters.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Ta-ta-ta..."
The gunshots were getting closer and closer, and "Chief Salt" shouted loudly at the headquarters:
"Well, if you don't leave, you can leave. Can't one guard camp withstand dozens of Japanese soldiers?"
A few minutes later, the guard battalion commander led dozens of guards and rushed in. They surrounded "Chief Salt" and ran out, just in the opposite direction from where Lieutenant General Guo left.
Yamamoto and others quickly chased after them, and "Chief Salt" really made sure that the more than 300 people in the guard camp did not block Yamamoto's special agent team.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Ta-ta-ta..."
Yamamoto has long remembered the appearance of Commander Salt in his mind, so he has been chasing "Chief Salt";
The guard battalion also tried their best. Both sides fired submachine guns at each other. Many members of the Yamamoto special agent team were also mopped down, leaving only about thirty people.
There are nine people left around "Chief Salt", including his guard battalion commander.
The more Yamamoto fights, the more excited he becomes, and he pursues the fight at all costs!
More than 200 meters behind them, Gao Wanliang led a large group of people to chase and escort them.
"Chinese people, you are already too late!"
Yamamoto Kazuki smiled triumphantly, and pointed his submachine gun at "Salt Officer" who was about to commit suicide. "Salt Officer" fell in a pool of blood...
Yamamoto rushed up and tore off his general collar insignia, then swept his body over to make sure it was correct before leading his team to leave.
The entire Qiulin Town was in chaos, with troops everywhere, and reinforcements from the peripheral division came over one after another. Yamamoto led the remaining dozen people to break out while taking advantage of the chaos.
Zezhou City, the position of the 65th Division of the Shanxi-Sui Army, was filled with artillery fire and smoke.
After more than a day of fierce fighting, the first regiment of the 65th Division has been crippled, and the second regiment has suffered more than half of its casualties. The first position has just been captured by the Japanese;
Of course, the Japanese did not fare well, leaving nearly 2,000 corpses behind. The exchange ratio between the two sides was almost one to one.
The more the 65th Division fought, the more confident they became. They found that these Japs were much easier to fight than the Japs they had encountered before. If it weren't for the Japs having the advantage in artillery fire, Lieutenant General Tan even felt that he could fight back against the Japs.
The 71st Division is a three-unit division. The brigade-level establishment has been abolished. It has three field regiments directly under the division, plus artillery brigade, heavy equipment brigade and other technical arms. The total strength is only more than 17,000 people. .
This kind of division is very suitable for rear operations, easy to assemble and dispatch, and relies far less on logistics than Class A and Class B divisions.
It has been more than two years since the war began. The Japanese have invaded from North China and East China to South China and Central China. The more cities and territories they occupy, the fewer and fewer troops are available for offensive operations.
In fact, after occupying Jiangcheng, the strategic focus of the Japanese changed. Only the 11th Army was left for offensive troops, and almost all other troops were used for city occupation and rear consolidation;
The previous 17 Class A divisions and 17 Class B divisions could no longer meet the needs. The original reserves and reserves were used to form Class B divisions, but the strength was still not enough;
Under such circumstances, if the Japanese want to continue to expand their troops, they can only recruit first and second supplementary troops to form a large number of C divisions.
The average number of Class C divisions is about 17,000, and the number of heavy weapons is far less than that of Class A and Class B divisions.
The C-level division has some combat effectiveness, but it can't fight any tough battles.
If you want to fight a big battle, you need at least the B-level division to hold up the air.
It can be said that with the establishment of Class C divisions, the Japanese reserve soldiers are depleted. This time, the Japanese base camp plans to form 40 Class C divisions with nearly 700,000 troops. The number of soldiers has increased significantly, but the combat effectiveness has dropped significantly.
Of course, this is just the beginning. All the first supplementary troops are used, and they have at least undergone certain military training. Troops like the 71st Division can still compete with elite Jinsui Army troops like the 65th Division.
The 71st Division has only mobilized one regiment, and it has already disabled two regiments of the 65th Division, so its combat effectiveness is pretty good.
When the third and fourth supplementary troops are recruited, a large number of child soldiers and white-headed soldiers will appear in the army.
After more than a day of fighting, Lieutenant General Kubota's patience has been exhausted. He no longer fights with the Shanxi-Sui Army. He plans to use two regiments to attack the positions of the 65th Division and the 70th Division at the same time. The Japanese are about to take action.
"Buzz buzz..."
eleven o'clock in the morning
More than two dozen bombers flying over Linfen Airport indiscriminately bombed the positions of the 65th Division and the 70th Division. More than a hundred heavy aerial bombs destroyed the positions of the two divisions beyond recognition. A large number of soldiers were buried in the After entering the trenches, the cruelty of fighting a positional battle with the Japanese was finally revealed.
This round of bombing alone caused at least a thousand casualties to the two divisions, and it wasn't over yet!
After the bombers left, dozens of Japanese cannons fired again. The soldiers of the Jinsui Army could only lie in the trenches, silently enduring the ravages of rounds of artillery fire. A large number of veterans of the war were consumed by the Japanese steel. This is the frustration of agricultural countries and industrial countries fighting a positional war.
Before the Japanese were seen, the two divisions suffered at least 1,500 casualties in total, and the ground was stained red with the blood of the martyrs. These were all the consequences of the commander-in-chief in Sichuan who was so happy about his success.
The last bit of blood of the Jinsui Army was exhausted in the battle!
"Yoshi, the Empire's artillery fire is so fierce, so majestic!"
Lieutenant General Kubota of the 71st Division put down his telescope, pretended to be cool, then waved his hand and shouted loudly:
"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"
The two regiments of the 71st Division and the 72nd Division launched a fierce attack on the positions of the 65th Division and the 70th Division from the east and south directions...
