Chapter 383: Route 8 starts a fierce attack, and the Ludi devil commander escapes
"what do you think?"
Tanaka Kazuo's mouth corners slightly raised, with a smile on his face that showed he was sure of winning.
After saying this, he slowly turned his face away and looked straight at Jin Kojima beside him. There was an unquestionable sense of oppression in his eyes, and he asked softly.
He leaned forward slightly, his hands casually clasped behind his back.
Obviously, he wanted to get the consent of Jin Kojima, so as to deal a fatal blow to the other party psychologically. The feeling of making the other party surrender to him would be like tasting the sweetest wine, which is an indescribable pleasure and satisfaction.
"I……"
Jin Kojima's Adam's apple rolled up and down, as if something was stuck in his throat.
He slowly raised his eyes and glanced at the other person out of the corner of his eye. A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. His lips trembled slightly and he stammered as he wanted to say something, but the voice seemed to be suppressed in his chest.
"I don't want to leave like this."
Finally, as if he had mustered up great courage, Kojima Jin spoke out his inner thoughts with his chest rising and falling slightly. Although his voice was not loud, it was unusually firm.
Tanaka Kazuo's smiling face froze instantly, his eyes widened slightly, and he obviously didn't expect the other party to answer like this. A feeling of displeasure suddenly surged in his heart, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on him.
His brows furrowed slightly, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "You don't want to? Do you think this is your home? You don't have to leave if you don't want to?"
He took a step forward and looked down at Kojima Jin, his tone full of sarcasm. The voice was like a sharp knife, trying to cut through Kojima Jin's persistence.
But this still did not erase the thoughts in Kojima Jin's heart.
Kojima Jin clenched his fists tightly, the veins on the back of his hands bulging slightly. He took a deep breath and said, "I want to stay here, at least to buy some time for you to leave."
There was a determination in his eyes as he met Tanaka Kazuo's gaze directly without any retreat.
Hearing this, Tanaka Kazuo sneered, with a hint of disdain in his laughter.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and a lewd smile instantly appeared on his face. He stared at Kojima Jin and said.
"Since you really think so, then I will meet your request and agree that you can stay here and lead your men to resist the Eighth Route Army."
As he spoke, he paced slowly on the spot, as if imagining the tragic situation of Kojima Jin being besieged by the Eighth Route Army.
Hearing that the other party agreed to his request, there was no expression on Kojima Jin's face. His originally bright eyes now looked numb, as if he had already put life and death aside.
He leaned forward slightly and bowed deeply to Tanaka Kazuo as a sign of respect. His voice was low but firm: "I promise to complete the mission!"
Then Tanaka Kazuo led his remaining troops, and while the sky was not yet completely bright and there was still a trace of darkness in the night sky, he sneaked away from the west of the city like a group of rats stealing meat, and hurriedly advanced towards the Jiaodong area.
Their footsteps were hurried and frantic, splashing water on the muddy road.
At this time, only Kojima Jin and several hundred of his men were left in the city, ready for a brutal decisive battle.
Jin Kojima stood on the city wall, looking in the direction where Tanaka Kazuo left, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, including unwillingness and helplessness.
Soon, the sky gradually brightened and the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth.
The time has come for the special operations brigade to launch a general offensive.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."
In an instant, fierce artillery fire came from the Eighth Route Army artillery positions. The sound was deafening, as if it would shatter the whole world.
The artillerymen looked focused, skillfully loading shells and adjusting angles, and every movement was quick and decisive.
Dense artillery shells rushed into the sky, dragging long tails of flames, drawing a graceful arc, and quickly shot towards the Japanese troops on the city wall.
Soon the entire city wall of Linshi was covered by the fierce explosions of these shells and was completely engulfed in flames.
Explosions rang out one after another, smoke filled the air, the city walls trembled under the baptism of artillery fire, and stones flew everywhere.
"You must hold on! Don't gather together!"
"Scatter quickly! Don't show your heads!"
"Protect the machine gun! Don't let go!"
On the Japanese position, officers shouted at the top of their lungs, and the soldiers panicked and fled in all directions.
Some were knocked to the ground by the blast of the shells, and some were hit by flying shrapnel, groaning in pain.
At this time, the entire Japanese position was engulfed in violent explosions.
Jinya Kojima did not stay behind. He led the troops, holding a saber and fighting on the front line with the soldiers.
His face was covered with smoke and dust, but his eyes were filled with madness and determination.
After an unknown amount of time, the Eighth Route Army's artillery bombardment gradually ended.
At this time, the Japanese soldiers on the city wall suffered heavy casualties, with broken limbs and arms everywhere, and the scene of rivers of blood was everywhere.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and gunpowder, which made people feel sick.
"Order all units to attack!"
Following Wang Lin's order, the special operations brigade soldiers who had been prepared for a long time immediately jumped out of the trenches. With agile postures and firm eyes, they rushed towards the city wall of Linshi.
The soldiers shouted, holding their weapons tightly, like a group of tigers coming down the mountain, unstoppable.
"Report, the Eighth Route Army has begun its attack!"
At this time, the Japanese soldiers discovered that the soldiers of the special operations brigade were beginning to charge towards them.
A Japanese soldier ran up to Hitoshi Kojima in a panic, reporting in a trembling voice with a look of horror on his face.
Then he immediately reported the situation to Jin Kojima.
A flash of panic flashed across Kojima Jin's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and shouted, "Quick! Those who are still alive, fight back!"
"Yes!"
Although the Japanese soldiers had low morale, they still mechanically followed orders and raised their guns to shoot at the Eighth Route Army.
At this time, the Eighth Route Army soldiers were less than 300 meters away from the city wall.
Soon, mortar shells and some rocket launcher shells were fired at the Japanese troops on the city wall.
The shells exploded on the Japanese positions, flames shot into the sky, and some machine gun positions were directly destroyed by the shells fired by the Eighth Route Army before they could fire a single shot, and the machine gunners were blown to pieces.
"boom!"
With a huge explosion, the city gate was directly blown open by the artillery shells.
The few hundred remaining Japanese troops were no match for the Eighth Route Army, which was equipped with advanced weapons.
The defense lines built by the Japanese troops were directly crushed and they had no ability to fight back.
The Eighth Route Army soldiers poured into the city like a tide and engaged in fierce street fighting with the Japanese army.
"I didn't expect these little Japanese defenses to be so easy to break through! Is that all their fighting power?"
Holding a Mauser pistol, Kong Jie couldn't help but sigh as he watched the Japanese defense lines being broken through one by one.
His face was filled with the joy of victory, and his eyes showed disdain for the Japanese army.
At this time, Jin Kojima had already retreated to the command center with the remaining troops, where he fought stubbornly.
He hid in the corner of the command center, despair in his eyes, but still commanded the soldiers to resist.
Not long after, the Eighth Route Army quickly broke through the front line of defense and was still several hundred meters away from the headquarters.
The Eighth Route Army soldiers gradually narrowed the encirclement and approached the headquarters step by step.
Finally, under the attack of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army's last line of defense finally collapsed.
Jinzai Kojima fell in the artillery fire, his body twisted, his eyes still wide open, as if he couldn't believe his failure.
……
"Commander, I didn't expect that Kazuo Tanaka actually left some people behind and ran away! Humph..."
After the battle ended and the battlefield was cleaned up, everyone discovered that Tanaka Kazuo had led his troops away.
A soldier said with anger on his face, his fists clenched tightly.
"Hurry up and clean up the battlefield. Once everything is in order, hurry up and chase after Tanaka Kazuo and the others!"
Wang Lin frowned and looked serious.
He didn't expect that Kazuo Tanaka would run away right under his nose.
I originally thought that I could directly annihilate these Japanese troops in this battle, but I didn’t expect that I would still miss them!
There was reluctance and determination in his eyes.
Then Wang Lin immediately used a drone to conduct aerial reconnaissance to find the movements of Tanaka Kazuo and his group.
The drone circled in the sky like a sharp eagle, constantly transmitting the images below back to the command center.
Finally, it was confirmed that Tanaka Kazuo and his men were moving to the Jiaodong area and wanted to station troops there.
After determining the target, Wang Lin prepared to recapture other cities in Shandong Province.
Since the main force of the Japanese army is still in the hands of Tanaka Kazuo, that is, in the Jiaodong area, the Japanese defenders in other cities are basically the size of a regiment, and at most only one brigade.
So Wang Lin dispersed the special operations brigade and launched attacks in three directions: Ri City, Zibo City and Wei City.
After the integration of Lin City was completed, Wang Lin issued the combat assignment tasks.
"Lao Li, your independent regiment will attack Rishi. Kong Jie, your new second regiment and the first special operations regiment will attack Zishi. The rest of the troops will attack Weishi. Finally, we will gather in Weishi and attack the Jiaodong area!"
Wang Lin's voice was firm and powerful, revealing unquestionable majesty.
"Yes!"
Hearing that the decisive battle was about to begin, several regiment leaders were so excited that they couldn't stop smiling. They all wanted to hurry up and finish the battle so that they could participate in the general offensive.
Their faces were filled with excitement and their eyes were full of fighting spirit.
"Hey, Lao Li, your group is going to fight in the Japanese market...don't let us down!"
At this time, Ding Wei looked at Li Yunlong sarcastically and then poked him with his elbow with a teasing smile on his face.
"You're the one who's letting us down! Our Independent Regiment always completes the mission first, and does it beautifully! Who's like you, the New First Regiment, who are so effeminate!"
When Li Yunlong heard what Ding Wei said, he immediately glared back, the veins on his neck bulged and his face flushed red.
"Hmph... Stop talking about being a sissy. Let's see who takes this down first and then gather in Wei City!"
Ding Wei continued to confront him, his eyes revealing a determination to refuse to admit defeat.
"Our independent regiment is letting you fight alone! You are so useless! Let's compete!"
Li Yunlong put his hands on his hips and shouted loudly.
Wang Lin looked at the two people who were arguing again, and he was so annoyed that he kept touching his head, not knowing what to say.
He shook his head helplessly, a bitter smile on his face.
Soon the troops assembled and prepared to set off.
As the engines of the vehicles began to hum, the various troops drove towards their target locations in the transport vehicles.
The wheels rolled, raising a cloud of dust, and the soldiers' eyes were full of expectation and determination.
However, at this time, Tanaka Kazuo had just arrived in Qingniao City with his troops, ready to fight a decisive battle with Wang Lin's special operations brigade.
