Chapter 376: The Japanese Commander's New Deployment, 8-Way Bombing
The cigarette in Tanaka Kazuo's hand was burning, and the whole room was filled with smoke.
He stared at the battle map in front of him, his eyes revealing a hint of cunning.
"General."
After taking a deep breath, Kojima Jin once again raised his voice and called out, "Mr. Tanaka..."
This time, the slightly anxious cry finally penetrated through layers of obstacles and reached Tanaka Kazuo's ears.
Tanaka Kazuo, who had been immersed in thought, suddenly came to his senses, as if waking up from a long dream.
He looked in the direction of the sound, and when his eyes met Jin Kojima's, a faint smile appeared on his face.
He whispered, "Oh, it's you, Kojima-kun. You're finally back."
Jin Kojima quickly walked up to Kazuo Tanaka, stopped, bowed respectfully, and then spoke apologetically.
"General, please forgive my negligence!
I am truly sorry for not being able to complete the task you assigned to me and for failing to live up to your high expectations of me!"
Before he finished speaking, he bent down and bowed deeply to express his deep guilt and self-blame.
Tanaka Kazuo quietly looked at his subordinate who had his head lowered and his body trembling slightly.
After a moment of silence, he slowly said, “Get up, Kojima-kun.
Now that it has happened, blaming yourself will be of no use."
However, Kojima Jin did not stand up immediately, but remained in the bowing posture, as if he wanted to engrave this guilt forever in this moment.
After a long while, Jin Kojima straightened up, but his head was still lowered, not daring to look directly into Tanaka Kazuo's eyes.
At this moment, Tanaka Kazuo waved his hand gently at him and said gently, "Okay, don't dwell on this anymore.
Come over here and let’s discuss what to do next.”
Jin Kojima looked up in confusion and glanced at Kazuo Tanaka.
Seeing that the other person was looking at him with a smile, he nodded and walked over slowly with slightly heavy steps.
"Look, this is the Yishan Mountains, and over there is the Mengshan Mountains. The two mountain ranges form a natural barrier that blocks the path from west to east, leaving only one main road leading to Lin City."
"I've already ordered the soldiers to focus on guarding these two roads. As long as we deploy our forces at these important nodes, I'm sure the Eighth Route Army will be like an egg against a rock! They're bound to lose!"
Tanaka Kazuo told the other party about his inner plan, and looked at him with an extremely proud look on his face, as if to say, look how powerful my Xiaohedui plan is.
There is no doubt that he wants Jin Kojima to approve of his plan and praise him.
After hearing the other party's plan, Xiaodao Jin frowned and asked.
"If the enemy attacks from the south, bypassing the mountains, our troops won't have enough time to return to defend..."
Jin Kojima saw the loopholes and problems in this plan and immediately pointed them out to Kazuo Tanaka.
Hearing the other party's words, Tanaka Kazuo's face instantly drooped like an eggplant hit by frost.
His sharp gaze was like two cold arrows, shooting straight at Kojima Jin's slightly nervous face.
Then, with a look of disdain on his face, he questioned Kojima Jin in an almost contemptuous tone.
"What? Do you have any objection to my plan?"
This questioning remark was like a sharp sword gleaming with cold light, carrying with it a fierce momentum, stabbing fiercely towards Kojima Jin's heart at lightning speed.
You know, for Jin Kojima, who has always been loyal and determined, the damage caused by such a sentence is several times stronger than being scolded in person.
Faced with this sudden question, Jin Kojima felt that every nerve in his body was tensed up in an instant, and a layer of fine beads of sweat seeped out of his forehead.
He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then organized his words as quickly as possible, explaining with a smile on his face.
"No, no, no! General, you misunderstood! This is absolutely not the case!
Your plan is perfect and flawless!
I just dared to express my personal opinion. Please forgive me, General!
It is really my fault that I did not recognize Mount Tai, I hope the general will not blame me!"
After a barrage of flattery, Jin Kojima finally managed to calm down Kazuo Tanaka's restless heart.
Seeing that the other party had already surrendered, Tanaka Kazuo's mouth corners slightly raised, outlining a barely perceptible smile.
He waved his hand nonchalantly and said calmly, "In that case, just follow my plan."
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Kojima Jin, turned around and continued to be busy.
After receiving the order, Xiaodao Ren did not dare to delay any longer and quickly responded respectfully, "Yes!"
Then he quickly evacuated the depressing command room as if his feet were greased.
"Ugh……"
He sighed deeply when he got outside, and had no choice but to follow the other party's plan.
At this time, Wang Lin's special operations brigade had assembled and was ready, rushing towards Lin City.
"Brigade Commander, do we have to go through the Yimeng Mountains? Aren't we afraid that the Japanese will ambush us there?"
Kong Jie frowned as he looked at the map, then asked Wang Lin who was standing beside him.
"There's no need to take a detour, it would be a waste of time. It would probably take another day or two. We should just break through the middle. The Japanese army's current defense line is not strong enough to resist us."
Wang Lin also thought of this problem, but he knew that the current strength of the Japanese army could not cause any great harm to them.
In order to save time, we must seize the time and break through the middle.
Wang Lin then used drones to conduct reconnaissance to check the deployment of Japanese troops around Lin City.
Soon, Wang Lin discovered something wrong from the camera.
"This is……"
Wang Lin discovered that a large number of Japanese troops were active in the Yimeng Mountains and were also building fortifications.
It was obvious that they wanted to block the Eighth Route Army through the Yimeng Mountains.
"These things are really interesting!"
Seeing this, Wang Lin couldn't help laughing out loud.
These fortifications built by the Japanese army were easy for them to destroy.
All we need is drones and cannons to fight these things with indiscriminate bombing.
Soon, the special operations brigade will enter the Yimeng Mountains.
Wang Lin used drones to monitor the deployment and movements of the Japanese army in real time, and had everything under his control.
"General! The Eighth Route Army has entered the Yimeng Mountains!"
At this time, the Japanese reconnaissance troops on the front line immediately reported the movements of Wang Lin's special operations brigade to Tanaka Kazuo.
"Yoshi! Order the troops to prepare for battle! Enter the encirclement and crush these Eighth Route Army soldiers with firepower!"
"Yes!"
As Tanaka Kazuo's order was issued, the Japanese ambush combat units immediately prepared for battle and waited for the Eighth Route Army to enter the encirclement.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Suddenly, black shadows fell rapidly from the sky and slammed down heavily towards the Japanese positions.
Immediately afterwards, several deafening explosions like thunder suddenly rang out, and the sound resounded through the sky, as if it was going to tear the entire sky apart.
"Nani?!"
All the Japanese soldiers present were stunned by the sudden loud noise, with their mouths wide open and looks of astonishment on their faces.
They all turned their heads and looked in the direction of the explosion, but all they could see was billowing smoke and blazing flames, and they could not see what was happening.
"Kakuei! What on earth happened over there!" The Japanese squad leader's face changed drastically, and he shouted anxiously at a soldier beside him.
Veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes were filled with anxiety and fear.
"No... I don't know! I just turned my head and it exploded! There was no sign at all!"
The Japanese soldier named Kakuei answered stutteringly. He also looked confused and had no idea what was going on.
At this moment, from the direction of the Japanese position where the explosion occurred, came a burst of heart-wrenching screams and miserable wails.
The sound came one after another, without stopping, making people feel creepy and terrified.
"Oh no! A lot of people must be injured!
Quick! Everyone, hurry over and save people! "
The Japanese squad leader immediately gave the order.
So, a group of Japanese soldiers rushed towards the explosion site in a panic.
However, what kind of tragedy awaits them? No one can predict...
"Whoosh!"
"boom!"
Before they could react, a black shadow fell rapidly from the sky and landed on the Japanese position on the other side, causing a violent explosion.
The huge explosion created a burning mushroom cloud that shot straight into the sky.
Everyone was stunned by the scene.
"Eighth Route Army! Attack! It's the Eighth Route Army firing! Counterattack!"
At this time, someone reacted and immediately shouted loudly.
Everyone on the Japanese position immediately became nervous, picked up their guns and fired wildly at the position below, regardless of whether they could see the enemy or not, they just pulled the trigger and fired.
At this time, at the location of the special operations brigade, Wang Lin was controlling the drone to carry out targeted strikes on the Japanese positions.
After firing ground-to-ground missiles to knock out an important Japanese stronghold, Wang Lin then came to the telegraph machine.
"Order the artillery to intensively bombard the mountainous area ahead! Cover that entire area with artillery!"
"Yes!"
Following Wang Lin's order, the Eighth Route Army artillery unit in the rear immediately launched a carpet bombing on the Japanese positions ambushed in the mountains ahead.
Countless shells were fired out from the barrel at high speed and fell towards the mountainous area.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
A deafening explosion came from the Yimeng Mountains, and the flames produced by the fierce explosion completely covered the entire mountain.
The shells hit the trees, causing airbursts, and countless shrapnel flew rapidly through the air towards the ground.
This extremely lethal explosion method directly wiped out a large number of Japanese troops.
One body was even hit by dozens of shrapnel!
