Bright Sword: An eight-year-old boy led a group to fight the Japanese invaders - Chapter 168 Okamura Vomits Blood

Yukio Kasahara didn't finish his words, but his meaning was clear.

"How is it possible? They have more than 5000 civilians in their hands. How could the Eighth Route Army wipe them all out in one night?

What kind of army is this? Could it be that the Imperial Division is no longer able to stop the Eighth Route Army's advance? "

After collecting all the information, Yukio Kasahara said, "Commander, based on our intelligence personnel and the situation on the battlefield over the past few months,

Our troops returning to Suicheng from northeastern Shanxi were harassed by them on the way from Liangcheng to Sandaying. It can be seen that they were much faster than us.

They had large-scale heavy artillery and field artillery units. The fortifications and walls outside Suicheng were basically destroyed by these heavy artillery and field artillery.

In addition, they have an air force of unknown size. Their bombers are very advanced, but their fighter force strength and size are unknown!"

Okamura snatched the summary of intelligence from Kasahara Yukio in disbelief and said, "How could the Eighth Route Army organize such a force?

Yukio Kasahara explained, "The Imperial Intelligence personnel had no way of getting close to this unit and did not know the specific situation.

However, according to the current situation, the General Staff Department analyzed that the Eighth Route Army may have received foreign aid, especially from the White Bear Country, which is why the Eighth Route Army attacked Sui Province. "

"You mean that the Eighth Route Army hopes to open up contact with White Bear from Sui Province to the north so that they can receive more military assistance?" Okamura asked thoughtfully.

“This possibility is very high, and there is nothing we can do!

As for Yanggu and other northern strongholds, without the support of the railway, they have become isolated islands and cannot withstand the attacks of the Eighth Route Army at all! "

"Puff!" Okamura spat out a mouthful of blood. Sui Province was lost, and the Eighth Route Army was very close to Cha Province.

Not to mention, once the Tubalu troops have digested the Suicheng area, they will be able to link up with the Tubalu troops in northeastern Shanxi, directly threatening Zhangkou and Beiping.

This is equivalent to the Eighth Route Army putting a bayonet against Okamura's throat, and only a slight movement forward would be enough to kill him.

Okamura took out a white handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He sat down with a calm expression and said,

"Don't worry, Kasahara-kun. There's nothing wrong with my body.

How many troops can be mobilized in North China now?"

Kasahara Yukio said in embarrassment, "Commander, the North China troops suffered too much loss in the attack of the Tubalu, especially the 20th and 26th Divisions, as well as the Mongolian Cavalry Group and the Second Independent Mixed Brigade.

In my opinion, the Commander should advise the Minister of War to arrange for the newly trained troops to come here as soon as possible."

Okamura sighed and said, "It's not easy to replenish the troops. The local recruits have only been trained for a month, and many of them are young children under the age of 18.

If they are not adequately trained, sending them to the battlefield is like sending them to their death.

Besides, the Empire's grand plan is to move south, so there is little hope for them to replenish their forces now."

Okamura interrupted him and asked, "You have seen the plan of the 108th Division. Tell me what you think!"

"Commander, do you mean... to arrange the 108th Division's plan?"

Yukio Kasahara was not sure what Okamura meant.

Okamura's face turned pale due to vomiting blood, but now it has returned to normal.

As long as we can destroy the air force of the Tubalu, it is not impossible to destroy the mere 20,000 mechanized troops.

Especially now that they have moved to Sui Province, where the terrain is flat and there are not many places to defend.

It is even more impossible for them to flee into the mountains as soon as the battle started, like other Tubalu troops did.

Without the air threat, we still have hope, so the 108th Division's plan must be carried out. I will arrange for the Beiping and Taiyuan airports to fully assist."

Kasahara Yukio lowered his head and answered.

While Okamura was formulating another plan, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters also received a combat report from the Independent Brigade.

The deputy commander has been sleeping in the command room these days because of the independent brigade's attack on Sui Province.

The chief of staff ran in with the telegram, "Great news for the deputy commander-in-chief!"

"Any news about the Independent Brigade? What's the battle situation like? What are the casualties among the civilians?"

The chief of staff smiled and said, "Don't worry, deputy commander, all the civilians have been rescued, and there are no casualties."

"Tell me in detail!" The deputy commander found a place to sit down and said.

"The Independent Brigade launched an attack at 3 a.m. today. The commander of the Independent Brigade, Wang Ye, personally led members of the special operations regiment to raid the civilian camp.

Then the independent brigade charged forward, and 2000 Japanese soldiers were completely wiped out. More than 20 Japanese commanders including Kuroda Shigenori were killed, and Suicheng was liberated! "

"Good!" the deputy commander shouted excitedly.

Other staff officers in the headquarters also cheered happily.

"That's not right. Why did Wang Ye and Wang Su take action? Shouldn't they stay at the headquarters?"

"I say, Lao Liu, with more than 5000 civilians being held hostage by the devils, how can you rescue them without any harm if you don't have some real skills?

I also know that it is problematic for the brigade commander and deputy brigade commander to lead the charge, but the specific situation needs to be analyzed specifically. Wang Ye was the founder of the children's group.

Not only is he good at building teams and fighting, he is also the strongest in his own right.

Besides, Wang Su, although she is a girl, is now the chief instructor of the special operations regiment of the independent brigade.
