Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Chapter 189: Southward Attack on Hubei

After Zhang Ling arrived at the headquarters.

I went to the meeting immediately.

Through the meeting at headquarters, Zhang Ling finally figured it out.

It turned out that after all this time, the Yan'an authorities were trying to prevent Chiang Kai-shek from actually making peace with the Japanese.

So he ordered the First Army to quickly send 100,000 troops to march south.

Attack Hubei, Jiangxi and other places.

Find a way to take these two provinces.

Then try to block Chiang Kai-shek's path to surrender as much as possible.

Zhang Ling also understood what Yan'an meant.

But one hundred thousand is definitely not enough.

Therefore, Zhang Ling directly requested the division of 150,000 troops.

The remaining 50,000 are still guarding the north.

And continue to expand the army.

After the boss heard Zhang Ling’s opinion.

Naturally, I also agreed with his idea.

Indeed, one hundred and fifty thousand elite First Army soldiers marched south.

It is enough to take over provinces such as Hubei and Jiangxi.

Just give these two provinces down.

This basically cuts off Chiang Kai-shek's path to peace with the Japanese.

At that time, the Eighth Route Army could wait until the northern army was fully equipped.

Directly attack the Northeast.

After taking over Northeast China, we will be able to drive the Japanese out of Korea in one fell swoop.

At the same time, they went south to liberate the entire country.

Soon, under Zhang Ling's arrangement.

Li Dazhuang and Xu Erniu and other troops stayed in the three cities of Baoding, Zhangjiakou and Datong.

The other 150,000 troops followed him south to attack Hubei and Jiangxi.

After the team set out.

Zhang Ling also ordered the First Army's air force to follow south.

Nowadays, the First Army can be said to be the richest unit in the entire Eighth Route Army.

There are not only planes, cannons, tanks and everything else.

It even comes with a flamethrower.

This thing is very powerful.

Basically, if the Japanese were hiding in the bunker.

Then just use the flamethrower to burn the Japanese to death.

These were all exchanged by Zhang Ling in the mall.

Nowadays, Zhang Ling has spent almost millions of points for the First Army.

The combat effectiveness of the entire First Army is also incredibly strong.

Those are intercontinental missiles, satellites and the like.

It's just too expensive.

Zhang Ling really couldn't afford it.

Otherwise, Zhang Ling would have to replace all these things.

If there were intercontinental missiles and satellites.

Then the Eighth Route Army really fought wherever it pointed.

Moreover, the entire Dragon Country can do it and quickly challenge the entire world at this time.

Zhang Ling has always had an idea in his mind.

That is after leading Dragon Country to challenge the whole world.

Try to gain more benefits for the future of Dragon Country as much as possible.

There is no other way unless you fight for it.

If you don't fight for it, you won't have another chance in the future.

Because in the original world, Dragon Kingdom only gained true independence in 49 years.

Therefore, it can be said that Longguo has taken a big step forward.

Whenever Zhang Ling reads this history, he actually feels very uncomfortable.

Very unhappy.

But it's different now.

If Zhang Ling travels to this place, he will have the opportunity to change everything.

Therefore, Zhang Ling also felt that this time, the equipment replacement of the Dragon Country troops must be completed as soon as possible.

Only in this way will we have a chance to completely wipe out the Japanese from the planet.

Then find a way to snatch the interests belonging to Dragon Country from Ugly Country and the Northern Bear.

There is no doubt about this.

Zhang Ling was also aiming for this result.

The army was led by himself.

We took a truck all the way towards Hubei.

The vanguard of the army arrived in Shiyan first.

Shiyan is a medium-sized city in Hubei, where about a division of Japanese soldiers are stationed.

The total number is only 1.

After arriving in Shiyan, the vanguard did not launch an attack immediately.

Instead, we should surround Shiyan first.

At this time, the Japanese in the city also discovered the traces of the Eighth Route Army.

But when he saw the Eighth Route Army in front of him, they were armed to the teeth.

These little devils were all confused.

"This... could it be... could it be the Eighth Route Army's divine force?" Some Japanese soldiers began to panic.

That’s right, the Japanese now call Zhang Ling’s First Army no longer the First Army.

It's called God's Army.

Although this is such a childish name, I don’t know which idiot came up with it.

But it must be said that this divine army is well-deserved for Zhang Ling’s First Army.

After all, Zhang Ling’s First Army can now be said to be the most terrifying force in the entire Eighth Route Army.

Don’t say anything else.

According to the recollections of the Japanese soldiers who survived the battle with the First Army and escaped.

The weapons and ammunition of the First Army of the Eighth Route Army seem to be free of charge.

There is no end to the fight.

As soon as the war started on the battlefield, the sound of artillery shells exploding could be heard every minute.

Moreover, the range and power of the First Army's artillery are much stronger than the Japanese artillery.

Because of this, the Japanese artillery units even lost confidence when they fought to the rear.

In other words, the Japanese artillery units could no longer withstand the attacks from the First Army's artillery units.

The range of the 155mm howitzer is about 50 kilometers.

The Japanese 106 howitzer has a range of about 18 kilometers.

This is basically a one-sided beating.

Often, the First Army's artillery was able to aim at the Japanese artillery.

But the Japanese artillery could only passively take the beating.

Even if they knew the First Army's artillery positions, there was no way to hit them.

The range is not enough.

As for the Air Force.

The First Army’s anti-aircraft weapons are also terrifying.

Many of the Empire's elite pilots have died at the hands of the First Army.

So basically the idea of ​​air strikes on the Eighth Route Army's artillery units.

It can be considered a complete failure.

Anyway, the Japanese had no way of finding the weakness of the First Army.

Now the Japanese soldiers in Shiyan actually saw the legendary First Army.

This can be said to be the beginning of the nightmare for the Japanese devils in Shiyan.

At this time, the Japanese division commander in Shiyan was also looking at the densely packed tents of the Eighth Route Army outside the city.

This made the Japanese soldier immediately shout nervously: "Close the city gate, defend, defend."

Then, the Japanese division commander quickly ran to the command center and called the Wuhan headquarters.

After the Japanese combat command in Wuhan learned that the Eighth Route Army's First Army had entered Shiyan, Hubei.

This gave Wuhan a big scare.

"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong? The First Army of the Eighth Route Army has entered Shiyan?"

"It is absolutely true. I am now requesting the headquarters to allow us to retreat."

"We only have one division in Shiyan, and our weapons and ammunition are no match for the Eighth Route Army's divine forces."

"If we are forced to defend Shiyan to the death, it will undoubtedly be the death of our empire's elite soldiers in vain."

The division commander's words made Wuhan extremely embarrassed.

What nonsense are you talking about? I'm trying to get you killed.

What does it mean to die in vain?

Don’t you think the base camp can withstand it?
