Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 531: The Japanese are trapped but still fighting

Yu Ye didn’t know how exaggerated the “saturated supply” uttered by the commander was, but he only knew that our grassroots work was the best and most complete.

In today's environment where every last bit of cloth is used to make military uniforms and every last 10,000 meters is used to make military rations, massive amounts of supplies are beginning to converge on the Liaoyuan Arsenal through various channels.

Not only that, all those in our team who joined the army from the working class received orders to be deployed, and after passing the review, they began to participate in various production work.

Those who truly understand us will understand that our greatest strength is not our invincibility but our ability to mobilize the grassroots.

If you master this tremendous power, you will be invincible in everything you do.

......

Compared to Li Yunlong who easily picked up a Japanese prince, the battle for the brigade commander outside the South Gate was not easy.

Since the city of Taiyuan was full of independent regiments carrying individual fuel-air explosive bombs, the Japanese soldiers who had left the city did not want to go back. In addition, the city gate was blown down by 59 shells fired from two Type 68 modified tanks under the command of Lao Li, so they had no way to go back.

Yoshio Shinozuka, who was already somewhat dissatisfied with Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko, naturally had an excuse for not wanting to go back. After symbolically trying to return for help, he and his subordinates decisively gave up the rescue.

The situation of this group of devils remained very difficult.

How could a brigade commander, who was guarding the place, allow these devils to break out?

Besides, if the brigade commander can't even deal with this little fish that has slipped through the net, then his combat effectiveness will be even worse than Li Yunlong's. Is that acceptable?

Neither Ningji Okamura nor Yoshio Shinozuka had expected that they would encounter such a heavy siege after leaving the city. This siege developed too rapidly, and the speed and scale of the Eighth Route Army's assembly seemed to have been prepared in advance.

However, they had no time to think about this problem. Although the firepower of the brigade commander could not be compared with that of the independent regiment, the brigade commander had the advantage of geographical location, so he was suppressing the Japanese throughout the whole process.

"General, the Eighth Route Army has completely occupied the pass and commanding heights from which we broke out, and has also occupied all the fortifications built by Old Yan. If we want to get out, we must pay a huge price."

Ningji Okamura: "......"

After hearing Yoshio Shinozuka's report, Ningji Okamura wanted to curse. He could see that the Eighth Route Army had surrounded him.

It understands everything that Yoshio Shinozuka said, but what can it do?

Call the Air Force for bombing?

But almost all of Jin’s air force was destroyed here. Can they be transferred from other places?

Not to mention that there were wars everywhere in Shanxi at that time and there was no supply point at all. Moreover, the Eighth Route Army was not without air defense capabilities. Moreover, the two sides were so close that they were almost in a jagged situation, and there were no conditions for bombing at all.

What about the other reinforcements?

The entire Jin area was in chaos. The Japanese soldiers stationed in various places were busy dealing with the Chinese troops attacking them and had no time to provide assistance.

The locust troops mobilized from other provinces were almost all blocked outside the battlefield. Even if the nearest reinforcement team wanted to come, it would take at least eight hours of full-speed march.

But where are the remaining eight hours left for them?

I'm afraid I won't have even four hours.

Ningji Okamura sighed in despair, is he going to die here today?

A feeling of despair spread among the Japanese troops outside the South Gate. Many of them had already determined to die and actually began to charge despite the firepower of the 386th Brigade.

Several groups of Japanese soldiers almost reached the front line despite the firepower of the Eighth Route Army, and some of them even entered the trenches.

It was obvious that the Japs had entered a state of collective frenzy, in which they became real wild beasts.

Our soldiers in the front row were already feeling a little numb. When had they ever felt so comfortable killing the Japanese?

Killing the Japanese now is like cutting wheat. With the pull of the trigger, the Japanese fell down in groups. But the only bad thing is that the Japanese were too desperate and almost broke through their encirclement several times.

"Onboard!"

"Onboard!"

"Onboard!"

......

There was no deliberate guidance from the Japanese officers. This was almost all spontaneous behavior by the Japanese soldiers. All the Japanese wanted to survive.

Although these devils displayed endless evil when facing innocent Chinese soldiers and civilians, and completely ignored the desire of innocent Chinese people to survive, when they were faced with such a desperate situation, they burst out with endless desire.

But the Eighth Route Army that had surrounded them would not show the slightest mercy, nor would they have any sympathy when listening to the wailing of the devils. Instead, they felt extremely happy.

This is the retribution these beasts deserve.

"Commander, this situation is not right. The Japs are charging at us like crazy, and our frontline soldiers always have time to reload their magazines.

This situation is very dangerous now.”

The brigade chief of staff observed the situation on the front line and reported it to the brigade commander in a timely manner.

The brigade commander is well-versed in military books and knows the principle of surrounding three sides and leaving one side open. Now the Japanese are completely forced into a desperate situation. How can they not fight to the death?

However, the brigade commander knew clearly in his heart that this moment was the best opportunity to eliminate the Japanese invaders, and there was no possibility of letting the Japanese invaders escape in the entire battlefield of Taiyuan City.

If he let a large number of Japanese soldiers escape from the area under his charge, he would have no way of explaining to the division commander and the commander, let alone to the entire Chinese people!

"How could I not know the current situation? But please tell the soldiers on the front line that they must stay firmly on the front line even if they die, and never let any enemy go!

If there is a gap, if a soldier dies, the squad leader will take over, if the squad leader dies, the platoon leader will take over, if officers and soldiers at all levels are killed, I will fill the gap myself with my gun in hand! "

The brigade commander also became angry at this time. He adjusted his glasses and spoke decisively and domineeringly.

"Yes!"

There was a response throughout the entire command center, and morale was high!

After everyone received their orders and left, the brigade political commissar walked up to the brigade commander and asked, "Commander, can we use some more unconventional weapons?"

"what?"

The brigade commander asked with some confusion.

"Like napalm and white phosphorus."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier about such a good thing?" The brigade commander slapped his thigh with joy and almost jumped up on the spot.

"Isn't it because they are worried that using this kind of weapon under the city of Taiyuan will have too much impact?"

The brigade political commissar also took into account some impacts beyond the battlefield.

"What's there to be afraid of! Yu Ye has used it countless times, why would he care about this time? Besides, the Japs are doing all kinds of evil things, such as burning, looting, and so on, within our Chinese territory. What's wrong with me sending them a few incendiary bombs?

How much did we bring this time?"

"Commander, when the Liaoyuan Arsenal had sufficient production capacity, we received 150 rounds of napalm and 50 rounds of white phosphorus. This time, we don't have enough ordinary ammunition, so I brought all of it with me.

This is because they are worried that the firepower will not be strong enough."

The brigade commander widened his eyes. He didn't expect that his political commissar also had this kind of phobia?

"Hurry, don't hesitate, shoot them all out within ten minutes! Shoot them wherever the Japanese are densely packed!"

The brigade commander didn't want to wait even a second.
