Chapter 368 The devils are angry and send reinforcements
This fierce battle was thrilling and magnificent!
Our army dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army with thunderous force, wiping out a large number of its manpower in one fell swoop.
At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield, General Li Yunlong demonstrated his vigorous command style and fearless courage, and issued the charge order without hesitation.
The brave and fearless soldiers rushed towards the enemy like tigers descending from the mountains, and their shouts of killing were deafening.
After a fierce battle, they finally succeeded in taking Liao City into their possession.
The Japanese troops in Tai City saw that Ji City had fallen and knew that the situation was hopeless, so they made a quick decision to abandon the city and flee to avoid a catastrophic disaster.
At this point, the central and northwestern Shandong regions have basically been fully liberated by our army. This is undoubtedly a victory of great strategic significance.
The scale of this battle was unprecedented and the fighting was extremely brutal.
The number of Japanese troops annihilated by our army is incalculable, and the troops led by the famous Wang Lin reaped rich rewards.
Due to the frequent wars during this period, the weapons and equipment in the hands of the soldiers were severely worn out in the continuous high-intensity combat.
Therefore, Wang Lin decisively decided to properly place this batch of newly seized weapons and equipment in Ji City for subsequent reasonable distribution and use.
Not only that, he also made full use of the large amount of military merit he had accumulated and successfully exchanged it for a batch of high-quality advanced weapons including tanks from his superiors. He planned to distribute them to various regimental units to further enhance the overall combat effectiveness.
At this moment, a surprising scene appeared!
Kong Jie personally led the troops to open the heavy door of the Ji City warehouse, and the scene before them left everyone dumbfounded.
Dozens of brand-new tanks were neatly parked in the spacious warehouse, and a wide variety of sophisticated weapons and equipment filled almost every corner.
Kong Jie's face flushed with excitement and he couldn't help but shout loudly.
"Wow! Wow! Oh my goodness! These little devils actually hid so many treasures in Ji City! We are really going to make a fortune now!"
I feel like everything in here can become a reinforcement group on its own!
"Hurry up! Pull all these things out! Quickly, quickly!"
Kong Jie excitedly ordered his men to hurry up and pull out the captured weapons and equipment, which would be a treasure when distributed to the troops.
At this time, on the other side, Ding Wei brought all the confiscated supplies and medicines to the square and distributed them to the people in the city.
"Mom! The Eighth Route Army is coming to the square to distribute medicine! I'll carry you there!"
"Hurry up! Hurry up and get to the square! It's too late!"
"Let's go! If we don't go now, there will be too many people!"
……
When the people in the city heard that the Eighth Route Army was going to distribute medicine in the city, they immediately ran out of their homes and rushed to the square.
Soon the square was packed with people, all gathered together to scramble for the distributed supplies.
"Don't push! Don't push! We have them all! We have them all!"
Seeing every citizen holding the distributed food and medical supplies, Wang Lin was full of confidence.
“This is the meaning of what we do!”
Kong Jie stood quietly by, staring intently at the scene before him, feeling a deep sense of emotion in his heart.
He slowly began to speak: "Now, the central Shandong region has basically been completely recovered by us.
Those once arrogant and domineering Japanese soldiers have now fled to southern Shandong in disgrace, like dogs that have lost their homes. Humph..."
After hearing this, Wang Lin shook his head gently, with a helpless smile on his face.
He sighed and said, "It's a shame that we couldn't wipe them out in one fell swoop. It really leaves me wanting more."
Kong Jie patted Wang Lin on the shoulder and consoled him, "Well, it's pretty good to have such an achievement.
After all, compared with the national army that only knew how to preserve its strength and passively resisted Japan, we are much stronger.
And if the current situation continues to develop, we will definitely get better and better. Those tasks that have not been completed before will be successfully completed by us sooner or later!"
At this moment, in a corner far away in Jeju City, Kazuo Tanaka was leading his defeated troops to flee here in a panic.
They were all panting, their faces full of fatigue, as if they had just experienced a nightmare battle.
Tanaka Kazuo looked at his subordinates who were exhausted both physically and mentally, feeling both angry and helpless.
"Hu..." He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
Then, he glanced coldly at everyone with his sharp, hawk-like eyes.
Some of the soldiers were lying on the ground in a mess, while others were leaning against the wall, gasping for breath, completely devoid of their former majesty.
Recalling the disastrous defeat in the battle with the Eighth Route Army, the anger in Tanaka Kazuo's heart erupted like a volcano, burning fiercely in an instant.
He clenched his fists and muttered to himself through gritted teeth.
"Damn it... these damned Eighth Route Army soldiers! They are so hateful!
Alas! One day, I will make you pay a heavy price! "
"Bakayaro! What are you all like?! Have you thrown away the appearance of imperial soldiers?!"
Hearing Tanaka Kazuo's roar, the Japanese officers lying on the ground were so frightened that they immediately stood up and faced each other.
Then, Tanaka Kazuo stared at them intently, with no expression on his face.
"Although we just suffered a defeat at the hands of the Eighth Route Army, we still have hope! We still have a chance!
Remember, we are soldiers of the Empire! The spirit of soldiers of the Empire will never give up! "
Kazuo Tanaka walked towards his men and gave them a majestic encouraging speech, waving his arms vigorously to inspire them.
Immediately afterwards, these originally dejected officers instantly perked up after listening to Tanaka Kazuo's speech.
"Victory is certain! Long live the Emperor! Victory is certain! Long live the Emperor!"
……
"Ah, the situation is really unclear right now."
"The entire North China region has basically been lost. The Eighth Route Army troops are now moving south. If they were to join forces with the Nationalist army, the consequences could be truly disastrous."
"Well... this can't go on any longer. We have to do something to change this situation."
The Japanese East China Command held a discussion on the fact that the special operations brigade led by Wang Lin had defeated the Japanese army in Shandong Province.
After all, according to the current marching situation, the Japanese army is at an absolute disadvantage and has been in a state of defeat in fighting against Wang Lin's special operations brigade.
Now nearly half of Shandong Province has been recovered. If this continues, the situation may become irreversible.
"How about this, we mobilize some of the troops in Su Province to assist Tanaka Kazuo?"
One of the Japanese military staff officers looked at everyone and asked.
"At the moment... this is the only way. At least it can hold out for a while."
Upon hearing this decision, everyone was silent, but no one raised any objections.
After all, this is the only decision that can resist the attack of the Eighth Route Army at the moment.
"The Eighth Route Army is currently a reinforced brigade-level combat unit, so how about sending two divisions to reinforce it?"
"Two divisions are still relatively few. Their combat capabilities are different from those of other Eighth Route Army units. I think it would be better to add another division."
After some debate, the Japanese East China Command finally decided to send three divisions to Shandong Province for reinforcement.
Not long after, this shocking news reached Tanaka Kazuo's ears as quickly as the wind.
He suddenly grabbed the telephone receiver on the table and answered loudly: "Hey! I completely understand what you mean!
In fact, we are currently actively preparing for a large-scale counterattack!"
It turned out that the call came from the front headquarters.
During his communication with the other party, Tanaka Kazuo clearly understood that they hoped to send more troops to support and put them under his unified command and dispatch.
When he heard the news, Tanaka Kazuo's face, which had been somewhat listless, lifeless and tense, suddenly showed an ecstatic smile like a blooming spring flower.
I heard a steady and powerful voice from the other end of the phone: "I'm very happy to know that you have never thought of giving up, Tanaka-kun!
The command and deployment of the reinforcements that are about to arrive will be left to you.
Please lead everyone to fight bravely and pass on the supreme glory of our great empire's soldiers forever!"
"Yes! Please rest assured, sir. I will live up to my mission and successfully complete this arduous task!"
Tanaka Kazuo straightened his body without hesitation and responded loudly in a decisive tone.
Then, both parties hung up the phone receiver at the same time.
After ending the call, Kazuo Tanaka slowly sat back in his chair and took a deep breath.
At this moment, the expression on his face was no longer as tense and serious as before, but gradually became gentle and relaxed.
However, beneath that seemingly calm exterior, he actually hides a surging heart - because he knows that what awaits him will be a fierce battle full of difficulties and challenges...
"You have also heard the good news from the front headquarters, right?" Tanaka Kazuo looked at his dejected subordinates, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.
"The higher-ups have promised to send us three more divisions of reinforcements to fight against these damned Eighth Route Army troops."
"It's in the neighboring Su Province. If nothing goes wrong, they will assemble and head here tomorrow."
Upon hearing that reinforcements from three divisions were coming, the faces of these originally dejected officers suddenly brightened up and they looked at Tanaka Kazuo with excitement.
"Really, General..."
"Humph, it's those Eighth Route Army soldiers who should be panicking now, not us!"
