Bright Sword: An eight-year-old boy led a group to fight the Japanese invaders

At the Eighth Route Army Headquarters in Daxiawan, the commander looked at the map in confusion, "Do you think the Japanese are crazy? They are running to northwest Shanxi without caring about their lives. Is there something good here?"

The Chief of Staff held the intelligence he had just received in his hand and said, "Boss, now the Japanese have entered the defense areas of each unit below, and these Japanese have no intention of fighting.

They all left quickly, as if they were just trying to hurry on. Judging from the information gathered by all parties, their destination is most likely Pingyang!"

"Pingyang?" The boss muttered, then studied the map again, and then suddenly realized, "I was wondering what was going on with the Japs. It turns out they were heading for Pingyang. Which unit's defense zone is that?"

"Children's Group!"

"Children's Corps?" The boss asked in surprise, "Is it the unit that wiped out the Japanese Watanabe Regiment some time ago? Is the commander of the 386th Brigade in the Children's Corps?"

"Yes, they haven't replied since they went there!"

"Contact us immediately! I want to know what happened there. Even if they attacked the county town, it would cause such a big commotion!"

The boss wanted to say that the children's group was just messing around, but suddenly he remembered that the children's group had not yet been established.

Just as the chief of staff was about to leave, the telegraph operator rushed in with a telegram, "Boss, an urgent message from the commander of the 386th Brigade!"

The boss took the telegram and read it. "Well, I was wondering why the attack on the county town made such a big fuss. Wang Ye is not very old, but he has a big appetite."

After the leaders of the headquarters received the telegram and read it, they began to discuss it. The chief of staff was very worried.

"Is the fighting power of this children's group really that strong? The fighting power of the two Japanese regiments combined cannot be underestimated. Can they defeat us in one battle?"

"Who knows? You and I are so far away from Pingyang that we are out of reach. Besides, the Children's Corps is not considered our unit yet.

We can only watch now. Oh, let the troops below block them with all their strength. Don't let the devils pass through our defense zone easily. Even if they want to pass, at least leave something behind.

This is a gift from the children's group to us. We can't miss such a good opportunity!"

The chief of staff went out to give orders with a worried look on his face, and was still worried about the fighting of the children's group.

Not only the Eighth Route Army was dispatched, but the Shanxi Suiyuan Army and the Nationalist troops scattered everywhere also did not miss such an opportunity. Of course, only the bravest troops dared to fight.

This time, all the troops that took action will gain a lot. Whenever the Japanese go there, they will always leave behind some corpses and weapons and equipment. These are good things that money cannot buy.

Wang Ye kept receiving information from various places through telegrams, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. He originally just wanted to get rid of the Third Brigade.

Who knew that the Japanese would give them so much face? The Japanese from the entire northwest of Shanxi were mobilized, and the other troops gained a lot. It can be said that they did a good deed.

"Report, Yoshiwara Corps will meet Noda Corps in 30 minutes!"

Wang Ye looked at the time. It was 1: p.m. The speed of the Japanese was still quite good.

"Contact Zheng Dapao and ask him if the artillery camp is ready? The feast will be served soon, and he can't let me down!"

In the command center, almost all the members of the children's group were smiling. They were very confident in the combat effectiveness of their troops. Even two regiments of the Japanese devils could not be their opponents.

Compared with the children's group, the expressions of the brigade commander, Ding Wei, Li Yunlong and others sitting on the side were much more serious.

Even a fearless man like Li Yunlong did not dare to fight against the Japanese army consisting of two regiments of nearly 8000 soldiers.

When they heard Wang Ye mention the artillery battalion, they realized that this unit had not appeared since the start of the war. The brigade commander asked in doubt,

"Captain Wang, you still have an artillery battalion? Aren't they scattered among three battalions?"

Wu Gang explained, "Brigade Commander, the Type 92 infantry artillery of the infantry battalion is their own artillery company. The Children's Corps also has a direct artillery battalion?"

Ding Wei couldn't wait to ask, "How many Type 92 infantry guns are there in the artillery battalion?"

In Ding Wei's opinion, the Type 92 infantry gun is already the best gun. There are better guns than it, but northwest Shanxi is full of mountainous areas and they are not easy to use.

"Captain Ding, the artillery battalion is equipped with 27 German-made Type 41 88mm anti-aircraft guns. The last time we fought the Watanabe Regiment, the Japanese planes were shot down with these guns!"

"88mm anti-aircraft gun?" The brigade commander was surprised. This gun was previously used by the Nationalist Army and was equipped by the German-equipped divisions, but it was all captured by the Japanese in the Battle of Shanghai.

The Chinese troops no longer have this kind of dual-purpose artillery.

Li Yunlong had been following for so long without saying anything until now, "Old Ding, is this the children's group I know?

Where did they get these weapons and equipment? They are all good stuff!"

Before the Battle of Cangyun Ridge, Dawangzhuang was in the defense area of ​​the New 1st Regiment, so Li Yunlong knew about this children's group.

Because the group leader Wang Ye and his sister are the youngest and the oldest in seniority, this combination is very special.

The children's group that seemed ordinary to him at the beginning has developed into what it is now in just a few months. They are not afraid of the two regiments of Japanese invaders at all.

Moreover, they had to fight against the Japanese invaders in the field and had the confidence to win.

"Is it important? What are you doing here, Old Li?" Ding Wei didn't care about how the children's group developed, nor how they got their weapons and equipment.

As long as you support the New 1st Regiment, anything is possible. The rocket launcher he brought back some time ago is very powerful when it comes to attacking artillery towers!

Li Yunlong was indifferent. He didn't know what to do when the old children's group members came back, so he couldn't think of anything else.

At 1:35 p.m., the Yoshiwara Regiment entered the ambush circle unimpeded and joined up with the Noda Regiment.

Noda looked at the huge army that appeared before him and asked in disbelief, "Yoshihara-kun, you came in like this... like this, aren't there any enemy blocking troops ahead?"

"Haha, Noda-kun, have you been tortured by the enemy to this extent? With our two regiments combined, even if the enemy has a division, they will not be our match."

Yoshihara received a telegram from Sasaki warning him that the enemy was very powerful.

But there was no danger along the way, so he doubted Sasaki's warning.

Noda felt uncomfortable when he saw Yoshihara, who was in high spirits. They were in the same regiment, so why did the enemy treat them differently? Was it because he was uglier?

Yoshihara Regiment Chief of Staff Otani Tomoyoshi reminded, "Your Excellencies, since the troops have already joined together, why don't we leave quickly?

Now all the tribes in northwestern Shanxi are supporting us. The losses are very heavy. If we leave here earlier, the empire's losses can be reduced a lot."

"Yoshi, what Otani said is right. Although we are very tired after a long journey, for the sake of the lives of the imperial warriors, we will evacuate immediately!"
