I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 765 "Action!"

At exactly 00:00 on the morning of May 1, 1942, there was a beeping alarm. The loud ringing sounded in the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong Base, and Song Wenwan jumped up from her bed.

He strode into the war room next door and saw that everyone in the room was looking at him.

Song Wenwan said loudly to Wang Bidada who was looking at her, "Let's take action."

Wang Bidada immediately picked up the phone handle on the table and shouted, "Action!"

Soon the news of "action" spread across the Hebei Plain, and the whole of North China became lively.

It starts from Zangshan in the east, ends at Luliang Mountain in the west, to the south is the new defense line of Zhongtiao Mountain, and to the north is the Suimengcha grassland.

Large-scale sweeps against the Japanese, Mongolian and puppet troops began everywhere.

For a time, in North China, the battle between the anti-Japanese army and civilians was surging.

Yoshio Shinozuka, who had been fast asleep for a long time, was completely awakened by the sound of gunfire outside the city.

He jumped off the tatami, turned on the light and put on his clothes, while shouting loudly to the outside.

"What's going on outside? Why are there gunshots? Where does the sound of artillery come from?"

His adjutant shouted outside the house: "Report to the commander, there are tens of thousands of new troops from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army outside.

These troops sent by the Shanxi-Suiyuan New Army are forcibly attacking our Taiyuan city.

The sound of the shells exploding just now was them using the Type 92 infantry gun to bombard our Taiyuan city wall."

"Bakayalu, the treacherous Second War Zone, the treacherous commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone."

At this time, the adjutant outside was heard shouting, "Commander, the liaison officer from the Second War Zone wants to see you."

When Yoshio Shinozuka heard that the liaison officer had arrived, he immediately went out to meet him.

Oh... Today's liaison officer of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army seems to be a little different from usual.

It was only today that Commander Shinozuka discovered that this liaison officer had a tall and straight figure.

I didn't expect that his back could be so straight.

"Please don't panic, Lord Shinozuka. Our Jinsui Army's bombardment of Taiyuan City is purely routine."

"Bakayalu, what do you mean by routine? Listen to the cannon fire outside. Can this be called routine?"

Listening to the sound of artillery fire, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army liaison officer looked a little embarrassed.

I was thinking to myself: Chu Yunfei outside must be crazy, but I am still in Taiyuan City.

The Type 92 infantry guns of your artillery regiment all use the same tactics. Don’t you want me to leave Taiyuan alive?

In fact, he really blamed Chu Yunfei wrongly. The reason why Commander Chu used infantry artillery was because it was large in quantity but small in power.

Using thirty Type 92 guns to blow up the city wall is just like tickling the city wall.

If he really wanted to attack Taiyuan City by force, he would have dispatched 105mm howitzers long ago.

Liaison officer: "This is not important. What is important is that I am here to give you a gift on behalf of the commander-in-chief."

Shinozuka Yoshio said angrily: "Bakayarō, it's already this time and you from the Second War Zone are still thinking about giving gifts.

Are you not afraid of my wrath, or the sharpness of my sword?"

Liaison Officer: "Commander Shinozuka, if you dare to touch me, aren't you afraid of the wrath of my Second War Zone?"

Yoshio Shinozuka looked at the liaison officer of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and drew his command knife with a grim smile.

The liaison officer felt his legs shaking a little, and he tried to remain calm and added another sentence.

"Deputy Commander Suo Wuxing is my sworn brother. Are you afraid of this..."

The liaison officer was not a very brave man. He didn't dare to enter Taiyuan. That would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

But the theater commander said: "If Shinozuka Yoshio dares to detain you, you must not be afraid.

Just say you are Commander Suo Wuxing's sworn brother, and I wonder who in Taiyuan City would dare to touch you."

This was originally a joke from the war zone commander, but I didn't expect it to actually work on Yoshio Shinozuka.

Shinozuka, who had already drawn his sword, immediately felt his face turn pale.

It is really not possible to not change. The Second War Zone is easy to bully, but it does not mean that the Five Elements are easy to bully.

The Chinese military now has several real heavy artillery brigades in its hands, all of which are here in Suo Wuxing.

If you offend this Deputy Commander Suo Wuxing, what awaits Taiyuan City will not be the Type 92 infantry gun.

Those are all the same type of cannons with a caliber of 155mm. I just want to ask you Japanese devils if you are afraid of them.

If this happened in other Chinese war zones, there wouldn't be so many troubles.

As soon as the heavy artillery brigade appears on the battlefield, just send planes to bomb them.

However, the Chinese military (Gannan faction) has set up three field airports here, including Xi'an, Tongguan and Kenanpo.

Fighter jets take off from those places and conduct combat readiness patrols every day, with some planes even taking off at night.

Now, as long as Gannan's fighter jets don't fly over to attack Yoshio Shinozuka, he will be smiling to himself.

How dare you send fighter jets from Taiyuan to challenge the power of the Five Elements?

Shinozuka Yoshio: "Mr. Liaison Officer, you are indeed a special envoy of the war zone commander. You are indeed courageous, haha...

Now can you tell me what gift the Second War Zone gave me?"

The liaison officer took out a brown paper bag from his coat and handed it to Yoshio Shinozuka.

Shinozuka gave his adjutant a look, and the adjutant obediently left their commander's bedroom.

Yoshio Shinozuka pulled out a few sheets of letter paper from the envelope, and saw some words written in Japanese on them.

"Hey, why is it written here that it is the number of our Empire's troops in Shanxi?"

Moreover, these numbers are a bit strange. They are all troops that don’t usually respond to my calls.

This Second War Zone Commander is very interesting. He wants to help himself and eliminate dissidents in his own army.

I have indeed become a little weak in recent years, and in the later battles with the Eighth Route Army and the Guerrilla Division, I suffered repeated defeats.

First, his adjutant, Ono Erpi, had gone out to set up his own faction.

Now he is killing everyone in Southeast Asia and has become a role model in the eyes of young officers.

This is also the reason why many middle-level officers in Shanxi's First Army are like this.

He always pretended to obey but actually disobeyed the orders he gave.

Since the commander of the Second War Zone is willing to help, he cannot ignore it. The commander of the Second War Zone has good intentions.

So, Yoshio Shinozuka, who understood the hint, immediately issued a combat order to the troops of the Shanxi First Army.

If a stronghold is attacked by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army or the Eighth Route Army, and the attack is unstoppable, appropriate measures can be taken to turn around.

When the situation becomes clear after daybreak, we can react and actively counterattack to retake the stronghold.

The direct troops under Yoshio Shinozuka naturally understood what was going on.

As long as the attack is from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, we should withdraw from the stronghold directly.

They also left some supplies in the stronghold, which could be considered as a bribe.

What if the enemy is the Eighth Route Army?

The Eighth Route Army that attacked the stronghold tonight still appeared very "gentle".

They are all harassing outside the stronghold. We just need to hold them back and prevent them from going out to support other strongholds.

The Japanese soldiers in these strongholds also behaved very sensibly.

Under the persuasion of the puppet army, they moved some ammunition out of the stronghold and regarded it as "travel expenses" for the Eighth Route Army comrades.

Regarding those devil troops who are always making a lot of noise and always want to bring harm to the Chinese people.

They were not so easy to deal with and resolutely suppressed the rebellion in accordance with the orders of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
