Chapter 1867: Overkill

The Battle of Xuzhou has already begun. As the highest commander in charge of the island country, Terauchi Hisaichi is very clear about the current situation.

According to the pre-war strategic deployment, a part of the Central China Front Army is responsible for attacking from south to north along the Jinpu Line.

At present, the participating troops of the Central China Front Army are being desperately blocked by the Chinese troops north of the Huaihe River.

Due to the blockade, the Central China Front Army has not successfully crossed the Huaihe River.

On the eastern front, Itagaki Seishirō's Fifth Division has successfully landed in two routes in the coastal area of ​​eastern Shandong.

Now, the Fifth Division is advancing towards the Linyi area of ​​Shandong at a lightning speed.

Wherever the army passes, the Chinese troops disperse at the touch of a button, and the progress is very smooth.

Compared with the Fifth Division on the eastern front, the Tenth Division, which attacks from north to south along the Jinpu Road, has shown a rapid development under the leadership of Isogai Lianjie.

What Terauchi Shouichi was happy to see was that, in theory, Han Fuju, who was in charge of the defense of Shandong Province, should have used the natural barrier of the Yellow River to block the 10th Division.

Unexpectedly, with the purpose of retaining troops, Han Fuju actually fled in the face of the enemy because he was afraid of the devils, thus giving up the natural barrier of the Yellow River.

Afterwards, Han Fuju was shot by the Chinese Supreme Command.

Naturally, the 10th Division marched towards Xuzhou along the Jinpu Line as if traveling.

On the other hand, China was very passive.

Most of the participating troops were local miscellaneous troops.

Terauchi Shouichi knew that, like the previous large-scale battles, China still had to focus on defense in the Battle of Xuzhou.

Moreover, China's defense line still lacked depth as always, and only knew to line up in a row.

Such a deployment has advantages, but also great disadvantages.

On the positive side, when a line of defense is breached, other nearby troops can rush to rescue urgently.

On the bad side, if the rescue is not timely, the entire front may collapse.

Even with its powerful firepower, the Japanese troops can kill and injure as many Chinese soldiers as possible in the face of the Chinese troops' fueling tactics.

In response to this situation, in order to make up for his mistakes, Terauchi Hisaichi came up with a bad idea.

Most of the planes and tanks were sent to the north of the Huai River.

The area south of the Huai River was to be conquered slowly by the Central China Front Army!

With this thought, Terauchi Hisaichi did not hesitate.

Then, he notified his staff to notify the troops according to their deployment immediately.

...

During the Republic of China period, although science and technology were not very advanced, radio stations were used for long-distance communication.

With the telegrams from the North China Front Army Command, many Japanese troops and traitor troops soon learned about the existence of the Heroic National Salvation Army.

After learning that the Heroic National Salvation Army and the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army had a small number of troops but strong combat effectiveness, the Japanese and traitors felt very complicated.

The Japanese had been brainwashed since childhood, so although they knew that the Heroic National Salvation Army was good at fighting, they always wanted to confront the Heroic National Salvation Army head-on.

Be proud of dying on the battlefield!

These are the confidence of the Japanese!

The traitors, after learning that the Heroic National Salvation Army used Japanese weapons and equipment but had strong combat effectiveness, were very resistant to being discovered by the Heroic National Salvation Army.

Of course, because Ye Tian often fought with the dead soldiers wearing traitor uniforms, under Ye Tian's misleading, the traitors were very panicked about one thing.

What happened?

It's very simple, that the Japanese suspected that he had surrendered!

In fact, in addition to the suspicion of the Japanese, many hardcore traitors also suspected it.

Nowadays, many traitor troops have launched identification campaigns.

Some traitors who are not active in fighting and are afraid of death and fatigue have been dealt with as they should be.

Of course, in this process, some traitors with higher status did not forget to steal and do something to the traitors who did not deal with them.

For a time, almost all the traitor troops were in panic.

Ye Tian was not aware of these things for the time being.

After annihilating the Suzuki Sesame Oil Brigade and, by the way, annihilating the traitor troops with a force three times that of the Suzuki Sesame Oil Brigade, Ye Tian left that place of trouble.

The strategic goal has been achieved, why not leave?

If you don't leave, you will definitely be surrounded by the superior forces of the devils and traitors.

To put it bluntly, you may really die for the country.

To be precise, once you are surrounded by many devils and traitors, you will really face the tragedy of having no way to go to heaven and no door to enter the earth.

At that time, you will definitely cry to the sky and the earth for help.

With this thought, Ye Tian sorted out the place.

Then, Ye Tian continued to search for the target to attack.

In order to find the target faster, Ye Tian released the dog kings again, let them disperse, and scout around.

What Ye Tian was happy to see was that in terms of combat effectiveness, the dog kings were not very powerful.

Whether it was wild wolves, wild boars, black bears, or lynxes, they could crush these native dogs.

However, with the outbreak and continuation of the full-scale war of resistance, there were many ownerless native dogs in many places in China.

Therefore, the appearance of some native dogs in the wilderness would not attract the attention of those who were interested.

In this way, Ye Tian kept busy.

On the other hand, the surrounding devils and traitors were like headless flies, constantly searching for the heroic national salvation army.

Under Ye Tian's deliberate misleading, the devils and traitors all knew that the main force of the Heroic National Salvation Army came from the Huaxia Chairman's Guard.

Most of the troops came from the traitors captured by the Heroic National Salvation Army.

What made the devils and traitors depressed was that no matter how hard they looked for it, no matter how they communicated with friendly troops, they could not find any clues.

It was as if the Heroic National Salvation Army appeared out of thin air and disappeared out of thin air.

In response to this situation, the devils and traitors couldn't help but think of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

In the minds of the devils and traitors, at this moment, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was still in that deep mountain forest.

Under the leadership of the big devil Yanagawa Heisuke, more than 100,000 Japanese and puppet coalition forces were still searching for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

Hard work pays off!

Not long after leaving that troubled place, Ye Tian found some small targets.

On many important roads, there are some bunkers at intervals.

The bunker was occupied by Japanese soldiers and traitors.

A small mosquito is also meat.

Based on this principle, whenever Ye Tian found a bunker of Japanese soldiers, he would stop.

Then, Ye Tian would use the grenade function of the FN57 pistol to bomb.

If it were other anti-Japanese armed forces, before bombing, they must first aim at the observation holes of the bunkers, so that grenades, mortar shells, etc. can successfully drill in.

On the other hand, Ye Tian did not need to do this.

The reason is very simple. Ye Tian used an anti-armor grenade.

The effective range of this grenade can reach 3,000 meters.

The most important thing is that it can successfully penetrate a steel plate with a thickness of 120 mm.

Or, a concrete fortification with a thickness of 600 mm.

This grenade is so powerful that it can easily deal with bunkers.

Even this operation can be called a butcher's knife to kill a chicken.

What makes Ye Tian happy is that every time he plays this kind of operation, he always takes the way of hanging.

Because the range was too long, the Japanese soldiers and traitors in the bunker were blown to pieces just like the bunker itself. They were dead beyond death, but no one knew how they died.

Even the Japanese soldiers and traitors who rushed over after hearing the news had a lot of questions in their heads.
