Chapter 132 Chapter 132 Yoshio Shinozuka: Winter Offensive (4K)

boom boom-

boom boom-

boom boom-

Seeing that there was no movement from Yin Hua, who was supposed to be instigating from the inside, Okamoto Temple simply stopped waiting and ordered the artillery to start shelling the living water town.

In his opinion, Yin Hua has already played his value as a civet cat.

The task of being able to transfer all of Wang Liang's 2nd Independent Regiment to Living Water Township has been completed.

As for Yin Hua's life and death, it's not that important.

"Give it to the rabbit!"

After a few rounds of shelling, the infantry charged.

The devils all knew that being besieged by their side today was their nightmare—Wang Liang, they all seemed extremely excited.

During these days, Wang Liang can be said to have tormented the devils in Xing City a lot.

After killing Wang Liang, the devils can finally sleep peacefully.

"Return to the pass!"

"Catch Wang Liang alive!"

"Chop off Wang Liang's head!"

"Give me the chair!"

The devils with high morale moved forward aggressively.

They didn't encounter any strong resistance along the way. The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army basically retreated while fighting, and kept moving to the rear.

This undoubtedly further proved the accuracy of the information Yin Hua reported earlier. The Eighth Route Army and the National Army did not have much live ammunition in their hands.

Knowing this, Okamoto Temple immediately ordered the soldiers to speed up the advance and quickly close the encirclement.

After waiting for so long, he couldn't wait to meet Wang Liang.

As a result, the devils moved faster and faster.

Directly shrink the encirclement to Luohan Gorge.

But just when they were about to launch the final attack on Luohan Gorge, the back of their buttocks suddenly caught fire and they were attacked.

It turned out that the team at Luohan Gorge was just a company left behind by Wang Liang. Their task was to pretend to be a large force in the encirclement to deal with the Japanese army and constantly lure the enemy deep.

Let Okamoto mistakenly think that he has firmly bit the Independence 2 Regiment and Ye Wanshou Regiment.

In fact, Wang Liang had already jumped out of the devil's encirclement with the main force of his regiment and Ye Wanshou's regiment through the underground passage, and circled behind the devil.

Faced with such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Wang Liang certainly couldn't run away in despair, not to mention that he still had a company trapped in Luohan Gorge.

Dang even gave the order to start the next step.

On the one hand, Ye Wanshou led his regiment to attack the artillery positions of the Japanese army. After controlling the artillery positions, he adjusted the muzzle and fired at the attacking devils.

At the same time, Wang Liang led the main force of the 2nd Independent Regiment to launch a fierce attack directly on Okamoto's command post.

The devil's attention was all on the direction of Luohanxia, ​​and he didn't have any precautions at all.

Ye Wanshou was the first to succeed, and then the devils who were charging towards Luohan Gorge were blessed.

shhhhh--

shhhhh--

shhhhh--

Listening to the whistling sound of shells piercing the air, the devils were extremely excited.

They took it for granted that the shells were fired towards the Eighth Road on the Luohan Gorge, but in the next second, shells one after another fell on their heads and feet.

As successive explosions sounded, dust flew up.

The devils who were charging were knocked out of their wits by the blast, and those at the center of the explosion were even more unlucky, not even a single corpse was left behind.

"Bastard, what the hell is going on? Why did our artillery bomb us? Are they crazy?"

"Damn it! I'm going to kill these bastards!"

"Pause the attack! Suspend the attack!"

The sudden change completely disrupted the rhythm of the Japanese army and seriously affected their morale.

The current devils can't take care of clamoring to cut off Wang Liang's head. What they want to know most now is why the artillery bombed their own people.

Of course, without waiting for their chief to get in touch with the command post.

Wang Liang also succeeded here.

The command post densely packed with radio antennas was beaten down by the soldiers of the 2nd Independent Regiment.

Once this is done, it's time to fight back.

Although he knew that the army of the devils was several times stronger than his own, Wang Liang didn't want to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he had to beat them hard.

So the Independence 2 Regiment and the Ye Wanshou Regiment cooperated to launch an attack on the devils who lost their command center and became a mess.

Chang Naichao and Ye Wanshou are very good at judging the situation. The two of them also saw the situation clearly, knowing that now is a good time to pick peaches, so they were naturally happy to lead their troops to attack.

----

A village twelve kilometers southwest of Living Water Township.

After listening to the report of the current battle situation in Huoshui Township by the commander, Okamoto Temple's expression was full of shock, and at the same time he couldn't help admiring Shinozuka Yoshio.

"General, you are really powerful. If you hadn't ordered the transfer of the command post in advance, we would definitely be in danger. But how did you know that the enemy would suddenly come out from behind us?" Okamoto said.

Shinozuka Yoshio looked calm: "Okamoto-kun, you have to know that our imperial army has suffered enough losses from Wang Liang. My vigilance comes entirely from the past days of our imperial army. a painful price to pay.”

"From the very beginning, I didn't think your civet cat successfully fooled Wang Liang, because I knew Wang Liang was not that good from the failures of Yamashita Fengwu, Chiba Ryoichi, and Yamashita Mori. dealt with."

"Okay, Mr. Okamoto, now Wang Liang has shown all his hole cards. In Chinese, he is at the end of his rope. It's time for you to wipe him out in one fell swoop. Let's attack."

"Ah?" Okamoto Temple was full of doubts. He admired Yoshio Shinozuka's analysis very much, but at the moment, although the imperial army has the upper hand in numbers, they were thrown into disarray by the Chinese army attacking back and forth. In addition, the artillery position is also lost, how to wipe it out in one fell swoop?

Shinozuka Yoshio certainly knew of Okamoto's concerns, and he said cunningly: "In addition to the current four brigades, I have dispatched three additional brigades, which are on standby five kilometers away, and the command and dispatch rights belong to you. And Yamamoto's secret service team will also assist you."

Hearing that Shinozuka had also transferred three brigades, Okamoto immediately beamed with joy. The battle was definitely secured.

He had also heard of the name of the Yamamoto Secret Service. They almost went to Daxia Bay, and easily wiped out a regiment headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. The combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

Okamoto Temple was full of confidence immediately, and he didn't believe it. This time, the [-] imperial army, plus the [-] puppet army, nearly [-] people were dispatched, and Wang Liang could still escape.

"Okamoto-kun, let go and do it, don't let me down again." Shinozuka said.

"Hi!"

Shinozuka Yoshio turned his head and looked at Kazuki Yamamoto again: "Yamamoto-kun, I know that your goals have always been at the strategic level, and you are not interested in these small tactical goals."

"But what I want to tell you is that the value of this Wang Liang is definitely no less than your strategic target. If he can't be eliminated, hundreds, thousands, or even more imperial troops will perish on his ground." So please help Okamoto-kun and wipe them out completely, please."

Kazuki Yamamoto's expression was stern, originally he was very displeased with Yoshio Shinozuka for pulling him over.

But seeing Shinozuka's sincere attitude, and recalling the reports on Wang Liang he saw in the intelligence department, he became somewhat interested, and was willing to lead his special agent team to a small test.

122 Division Ye Wanshou Regiment Temporary Headquarters

When he got the news that the Japanese had suddenly increased their troops, Ye Wanshou immediately proposed to put oil on the soles of his feet and run away immediately.

"Lao Ye, isn't it a little unreasonable for us to do this? If you want to go, you must at least inform the side of the Eighth Route." Although Chang Naichao has already approved of Ye Wanshou's idea, in terms of face, it is still somewhat difficult. of.

Ye Wanshou immediately passed the steps: "Sir, although we came out from behind and caught the Japanese by surprise, they still have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength. Now the Japanese have added three more brigades, with a total strength of nearly [-] troops." People, we are obviously not their opponents, if we stay and continue to fight, we will definitely get burned."

"What's more, Wang Liang's side is fully prepared and has enough ammunition. On the other hand, our side only has a small amount of bullets supported by the Eighth Route Army. Coupled with high-intensity exercises, our brothers are exhausted and their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced."

"The other thing is that Wang Liang planned all of this in advance. We didn't even communicate with us about such a big move beforehand, so we can't help them by taking huge risks."

"After all, the World War II District Commander's Department gave us the order to participate in the exercise, and we have not issued a combat order. We are already disobedient now."

Under Ye Wanshou's rhetoric, Chang Naichao, who was already shaken, acquiesced.

Just like that, before the three brigades sent by Xiaozuka were fully in place, Ye Wanshou quickly ran away with his regiment.

When Okamoto Temple learned that the national army had escaped, he was neither upset nor ordered to pursue them.

He never took Ye Wanshou's team seriously. If he wanted to, he could easily wipe them out at any time.

This time, the goal is very clear, which is Wang Liang and his independent 2nd regiment.

The national army ran away, and the remaining Eight Routes of the thousand people were alone and helpless.

Okamoto Temple immediately issued an order to shrink the encirclement.

386 Brigade Headquarters

"Immediately send a telegram to the 36th Regiment and the 71st Regiment who are closest to Living Water Township, asking where they are? Speed ​​up the progress, the situation on the side of the Independent 2nd Regiment is already very bad."

Brigadier Chen has been paying attention to the situation in Huoshui Township. Before that, Wang Liang had already reported his plan to him. The confrontation exercise with the national army was just a cover. Fished out, and then dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army in Xingshi.

Everything was going very smoothly. With the cooperation of the Independence 2 Regiment and the Ye Wanshou Regiment, they were able to catch the devils by surprise with the tunnel dug in advance.

But unexpectedly, Yoshio Shinozuka made sufficient preparations. In addition to the four brigades on the surface, he also secretly prepared three additional brigades.

In this way, the pressure on Wang Liang will be great.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and Ye Wanshou ran away with oil on the soles of his feet.

Next, the Independent 2nd Regiment faced the internal and external attack of the seven brigades of the Japanese army and the two security corps.

This made Brigadier Chen an ant on a hot pot, very anxious.

He must not just sit back and watch his love become desperate.

"Reporting to the brigade commander, the communications of the 36th and 71st regiments were all interrupted an hour ago, and they are not available now." The staff report reported.

"Then send messengers to deliver orders on horseback!" Brigadier Chen said.

Two hours later, the communications soldiers sent to the 36th and 71st regiments came back one after another.

The situation was exactly the same. They had just assembled after receiving the support order from the brigade headquarters, and their respective jurisdictions were attacked by a large number of devils.

In this way, the two regiments were held back, and they couldn't get out for a while.

Of course, this was all written by Shinozuka Yoshio, and this plan was drawn up by him long ago, and it happened to be carried out through this operation in Okamoto Temple.

Yoshio Shinozuka is willing to call it the Winter Offensive. As the name suggests, it is to take advantage of this freezing winter to mobilize all the troops of the First Army to launch a sweep in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei area to completely eliminate the anti-Japanese forces entrenched in the rear. .

Therefore, Wang Liang's family was not targeted, and the Eighth Route Army, Jinsui Army, and Central Army could not escape.

Wang Liang's 2nd Independent Regiment was just given special care.

The situation has become as it is now. In the face of the menacing Japanese army, Brigadier Chen has to arrange the transfer of the headquarters and logistics units, as well as the breakout of the regiments under his jurisdiction. Naturally, he doesn't have much energy to manage Wang Liang's affairs. up.

At this moment, facing tens of thousands of enemies, Wang Liang could only fight alone.

-

living water town.

After several hours of fighting.

The main force of the Independent 2nd Regiment naturally failed to get rid of the fate of being made dumplings by devils.

"Yamamoto-kun, do you have any advice for the next battle?" After all, Kazuki Yamamoto's military rank is one rank higher than his own. Out of respect, Okamoto Temple asked for advice.

If it wasn't for Shinozuka Yoshio's order, Yamamoto would never have wanted to bring his special agent team in.

After all, his journey is the stars and the sea, so he doesn't like Wang Liang and his little independent 2nd regiment at all.

Although there was a little bit of interest in Wang Liang through the documents of the intelligence department, but in a one-sided situation where I was strong and the enemy was weak, Yamamoto felt that he had no need to take action at all, and he didn't bother to do so.

Because his secret service team has always been able to change the situation of the war and even rewrite history, and it seems impossible to complete dangerous tasks.

"In your opinion, with a force ratio of one to nine, what are the chances of winning on the side of one?" Yamamoto asked rhetorically.

Okamoto Temple smiled and shook his head: "Of course there is no chance of winning."

The proud Yamamoto didn't speak any more, everything was silent.

Okamoto felt Yamamoto's contempt for him. Although he was very annoyed in his heart, he did not dare to attack because of his military rank.

I can only vent all the anger I have suffered here on the besieged Independence 2 Regiment, and order to start the attack.
