Today's military parade allows everyone to see a new Eighth Route Army.
Well-equipped, well-trained, powerful in combat, cultured, and religious!
The dozens of foreigners who witnessed the entire military parade did not expect to see such a troop in backward China.
At this moment, they all have a common idea, to return to Chongqing immediately, report what they saw and heard to their superiors, and report it to the country, so that everyone will know that China still has the Eighth Route Army, an elite force!
Under such circumstances, their curiosity about the Eighth Route Army increased instead of decreasing.
Everyone wants to know more about this mysterious force.
So when they heard that the Eighth Route Army had prepared a surprise for everyone, just a few days later, they decided to stay and see what happened before going back.
After two days and one night of rapid marching, Wang Ping, Cheng Xiao, and Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong finally arrived at a high hilltop less than five kilometers outside Taiyuan City.
The entire highland has been surrounded by security forces and is very heavily guarded.
More than a dozen telephone lines from all directions were all concentrated at the highland headquarters, and more than a dozen staff officers were coming in and out of the headquarters, which was very busy.
"Hello, Commander, the sand table in Taiyuan City has been prepared, and the enemy's troop deployment has been clearly marked!" As soon as Wang Ping walked in, the deputy chief of staff of the new regiment, who arrived half a month in advance, reported.
"Because the Japanese army temporarily transferred a regiment from Taiyuan City, the proportion of Japanese troops in the gun towers and bunkers outside the city has been reduced!"
"The enemy information marked on the sand table was all sent out by Captain Li from the city two days ago!"
After glancing at the huge sand table in front of him, Wang Ping replied with a satisfied look: "Very good, it's clear at a glance!"
Then he took out a hand-drawn sketch and ordered!
"These are the two assault lines that Commander Cheng and I have researched. Mark them on the sand table and confirm them: When there is no heavy artillery support and only medium-sized mortars, infantry guns, mountain cannons, and armored vehicles provide fire support, a
How long does it take for the regiment’s troops to assault all the way to the outside of Taiyuan City!”
The deputy chief of staff immediately replied: "Commander, I will give you the results in two hours at most!"
Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "Don't worry!"
"Let's discuss it more and study if there is a better assault route!"
"My request is very simple. Without heavy artillery to provide fire support, a regiment should assault outside Taiyuan City in the shortest possible time!"
"Yes! Captain!"
Wang Ping nodded, then walked to the seat next to him and sat down.
"Chief of Staff, contact the participating troops immediately. I want to determine their specific locations, equipment status of each unit, ammunition reserves, and the morale of the soldiers!"
"The more detailed the better. Once we determine this, we can determine the specific attack time!"
"If nothing else, the boss and the others are more anxious than us now, and they are just waiting for us to confirm the time!"
At the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front in Peiping, Neji Okamura looked very unhappy.
He was defeated by the Eighth Route Army again. Although it was only a small encounter, for a proud and arrogant person, he was still very angry.
More importantly, the impact of this small defeat was so great that even the domestic military department knew about it and even sent a reprimanding telegram to itself!
There were three documents on the table in front of him at the moment.
One is a telegram of rebuke sent from China, the other is the damage report just calculated by the Special Higher Education Department, and the last one is the intelligence about the Eighth Route Army's military parade.
No matter which document, Okamura Neji looked at it now as if he had been stabbed by a needle, and it was a needle that penetrated directly into his heart, causing him great pain!
"Is our intelligence network in southwestern Shanxi really finished?" Okamura Neji still didn't believe the result.
Engaging in intelligence is different from fighting a war. It not only requires a large number of intelligence personnel and funds, but most importantly, it requires time.
In a place as big as southwest Shanxi, a complete intelligence network will never be able to operate within a few years.
Now, just one operation has wiped out the efforts of the intelligence agencies for several years or even more than ten years.
From the bottom of his heart, Okamura Neji didn't want to admit this fact. The price was too high.
The person in charge of the Special High School frowned and replied: "The statistics in the damage report are all true!"
"In order to raid the Eighth Route Army military parade, the Southwest Shanxi Intelligence Network assembled nearly 80% of its intelligence agents and action teams to participate in the operation!"
"The Eighth Route Army was so cunning. They actually prepared a fake military parade ground for us to attack, and then wiped out all our commandos!"
"But the real parade ground is dozens of kilometers away!"
"After the commandos were killed by the Eighth Route Army, their intelligence department took the initiative and followed the clues to destroy a large number of intelligence points!"
"And the Jinsui Army, in order to clear their relationship with us, added insult to injury and cooperated with the Eighth Route Army to completely clean up our intelligence network in southwestern Shanxi!"
"Bagaya Road..." Okamura Neji's face became even more angry.
He cursed loudly: "The tiger fell to Pingyang and was bullied by the dog. I didn't expect that the weak Jinsui Army also bullied the imperial army. We must take revenge!"
After a big curse, the anger on Okamura Neji's face calmed down a lot!
Put aside the casualty and loss reports and pick up the intelligence about the Eighth Route Army military parade.
"Where did this information come from!"
"Chongqing~" the person in charge of the Special Higher Education Course quickly replied.
"Now, the contents of this intelligence have spread among the upper echelons of Chongqing, causing a great sensation!"
"The Eighth Route Army's military parade was so shocking. It not only showed its strong combat effectiveness, but also displayed many heavy weapons captured by the imperial army!"
"Including infantry artillery, mountain field artillery, and heavy artillery that only the independent heavy artillery brigade in the imperial army is equipped with!"
"And finally an armored force of tanks!"
"If the Eighth Route Army that participated in the review that day were formed into separate armies and combined into a main division, then this division would definitely be the main division with the best equipment and the strongest combat effectiveness in the entire China!"
"According to intelligence, after receiving the report, the person in Chongqing called his confidants to the office and became furious. Then he made a decision on the spot and asked his confidants to raise funds to purchase heavy artillery and tanks from the US government, increase the number and caliber of heavy artillery in the government army, and form armored tanks.
force!"
"Also, our intelligence agents lurking in the World War II zone reported that the World War II zone has ordered all Shanxi-Suiyuan troops in southwestern Shanxi to cease all military operations, and specifically requested not to provoke the Eighth Route Army."
"Not surprisingly, the commander-in-chief of the Jinsui Army was frightened by the strength displayed by the Eighth Route Army during the military parade!"
Okamura Neiji replied solemnly: "Not only were they frightened, but I, the supreme commander of the North China Front, was also frightened!"
"How long did it take for the Eighth Route Army to forcefully capture and build such a powerful artillery unit under the eyes of the Imperial Army?"
"How many imperial troops need to be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army to capture this."
"There are also arsenals that can even produce large-caliber mortars. Will they be able to produce mountain cannons in a while?"
"What are you doing in your special high school class? Why didn't you find out about such an important thing in advance?"
"This is definitely a shame for the Imperial Army and a shame for our North China Front!"
