Predator Reborn

Chapter 451: Heavy losses

"Ah... the kid is killing people, everyone, run away..." "Damn, the kid is bullying people too much. We are working hard for him, so why should they open fire? Brothers, the kid won't give us a way to survive, let's fight today

Fight with him. I have long been tired of wearing this traitor skin. Brothers with integrity, fight with me and fight with these evil little devils... Even if you die, you must be an upright Chinese..." Then

The soldiers of the Imperial Association Army fell one after another under the guns of the little Japanese. Among the chaotic soldiers of the Imperial Association Army, various screams immediately rang out...

After a while, more than 20,000 Imperial Army soldiers were divided into two. Some soldiers, under the command of some low-level commanders, began to shoot at the Japs in the encirclement... And more Imperial Army soldiers,

Amidst the chaotic gunfire, he continued to run around in a panic to vent the tension in his heart...

As for the more than two hundred special operations team members, the tens of thousands of puppet troops outside the city had not yet woken up from the melee. They seized the few hours left before dawn and began to attack around the Japs camp.

, continue to lay mines. I hope to bury more mines around the little devils to immobilize them, delay the little devils' stay in Baoding City, wait for the arrival of the main force, and prepare for the next stage of the entire campaign.

Preparation…

At this moment, the more than 40,000 Japanese and puppet troops who were caught in a melee had no idea that they were being surrounded by more and more landmines at this moment. More importantly, the number of landmines surrounding them was increasing.

Thanks to the efforts of more than two hundred special operations team members, the number of mines grew rapidly in a straight line. By daybreak, nearly 10,000 large and small mines of various types had been deployed around them...

Finally, in everyone's expectant eyes, dawn finally arrived. The chaotic gun battle slowly stopped because of the arrival of dawn. However, at this moment, the military camp of more than 40,000 people passed by after a series of

After several hours of melee, it was now in chaos. Especially at the junction of the Imperial Alliance Army and the Japanese military camp, countless corpses lay scattered, including soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army and those of little Japanese...

However, what shocked the remaining 40,000 Japanese puppet troops was not the chaotic military camp, but not far away, Baoding City, which was still filled with smoke and dust, and an open space with a radius of two kilometers outside the city... This

At this moment, everyone was standing in the military camp, motionless. Waiting for their shocked eyes to look at everything in front of them in stunned silence...

"Baga, how could this happen? Who can tell me what happened last night? What happened in Baoding County?" The division commander stationed at the headquarters of the 108th Division outside the city looked shocked.

At the scene, he roared loudly at the officers around him. The right hand holding the command knife tightly began to tremble because of his own shock.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander, I don't know what happened in Baoding City. I will send troops to investigate immediately. I will make sure the investigation is clear in the shortest possible time..." He looked at a pair of eyes standing in front of him, waiting for him.

, the division commander who was almost about to kill someone, the chief of staff quickly replied, turned around and ran out, leaving the powder keg around him that could explode at any time...

Just as the reconnaissance troops, following the orders of the division chief of staff, quickly ran towards the two explosion points that were shrouded in smoke and dust to conduct investigations. The smoke and dust that shrouded the county town also slowly fell.

He came down. The county town, which was completely filled with smoke and dust, slowly revealed his true appearance at this moment.

"Baga..." However, just when the true face of the county seat was revealed to everyone's eyes, the division commander who was looking at Baoding City not far away with a telescope could not help but curse loudly again.

At the same time, perhaps out of nervousness or shock, the telescope held tightly in his hand unexpectedly fell to the ground.

Indeed, the scene in front of them shocked everyone present. Because, last night, the city wall was still tall and majestic, but at this moment, it has turned into a pile of short mounds. More importantly, yesterday it was still a tall and majestic city wall.

The intact county town was almost razed to the ground at this moment. As for the 30,000 imperial soldiers stationed in the county town, let alone all of them were buried in the ruins at this moment, not even a shadow

Can't even see...

As for the plains outside the city where thousands of kilograms of high explosives were buried, it was even more terrifying at this moment. Because, in a large military camp with a radius of two kilometers, there were at least a thousand bodies that had been blown to pieces.

Bodies lay scattered on the ground. More importantly, the land within a radius of less than two kilometers was almost completely dyed red with the blood of the soldiers... The broken limbs and arms were blown up, and the internal organs were blown out everywhere.

It can be seen that with the breeze, the smell of blood began to fill the air...

In everyone's shock, several troops rushed into the county to investigate the situation. At this moment, they quickly returned to the troops. At the same time, the chief of staff of the division who received the news came to the division commander with a shocked look on his face.

in front of.

"Report...Report to the Division Commander...The situation has been clearly investigated. According to the report of the reconnaissance unit, the Eighth Route Army buried a large number of high explosives under the county seat before retreating. While our Imperial Army troops were resting last night, they

He took the opportunity to detonate the explosives buried underground. The explosives exploded violently, razing the entire county to the ground. At the same time, the explosion outside the city was also caused by the high explosives planted in advance by the Eighth Route Army..." Looking at the shocked face in front of him, his whole body was shaking.

The division commander and chief of staff, who began to tremble, replied equally fearfully...

"Baga, the Eighth Route Army is extremely cunning... Chief of Staff, where are the Imperial Army troops in the city? Where are the more than 30,000 Imperial Army soldiers in the city? How are they doing?" The division commander clenched his fists, a pair that could almost kill people.

Staring at the chief of staff in front of him without blinking, he roared loudly...

The chief of staff, looking at the division commander in front of him who was almost losing his mind, could only shake his head speechlessly. Because at this moment, the entire county was razed to the ground, and the result of the 30,000 troops in the city could not be explained by himself.

?. However, seeing the division commander in front of him who was about to kill someone, the chief of staff quickly replied: "Report to the division commander, after preliminary investigation, in the explosion last night, the entire county was razed to the ground. The people stationed in the county

Of the 30,000 imperial troops, no one survived and the entire army was destroyed..."

"Baga, Chief of Staff, now I order you to immediately count the losses of each unit in the explosion last night and in the chaos that followed. I will give you an hour. After one hour, I want to know the results.

, otherwise you will die..." After almost a minute of silence, the division commander loudly ordered to the chief of staff in front of him.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander. I will go and do it right away. I will report all the losses of each unit within an hour..." the Chief of Staff replied seriously, and quickly began to convey the new order...

Next, the remaining 40,000 Japanese puppet troops, under the command of commanders at all levels, immediately re-camped according to the establishment of their respective units... As the scattered soldiers quickly returned to reorganize, the casualties of each unit

The situation was quickly summarized in the hands of the Chief of Staff. However, as the casualty data continued to increase, the Chief of Staff's face slowly turned pale. He could not believe that yesterday's 70,000-strong army,

After an explosion last night, at this moment, there are not even 40,000 troops. More importantly, the losses last night, except for the thousands of Imperial Army soldiers who died in the chaos,

Unexpectedly, the remaining more than 30,000 dead soldiers were all outstanding Japanese Imperial Army soldiers...

Looking at the unbelievable troop loss data in his hand, the Chief of Staff dragged his heavy steps and slowly walked to the division headquarters and stood in front of the division commander... "Chief of Staff, what is the troop loss situation?"

In this case, I will immediately send a report to the commander of Shijiazhuang to report our situation..." Seeing the pale-faced chief of staff in front of him, the division commander seemed to have discovered something, couldn't help but look anxious, and asked quickly.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander. After preliminary statistics, all the officers and soldiers of the 20th Division from the division commander on down were shattered in the explosion last night, and no one survived. Our 108th Division Artillery Regiment, Cavalry Regiment,

The total of more than 7,000 engineers and soldiers in the regiment were all shattered. At the same time, in the explosion outside the city, more than 1,300 officers and soldiers of our first regiment were all shattered, and more than half of the combat effectiveness of the unit was lost. In the melee last night, a total of 108 divisions of our regiment were destroyed.

More than 800 Imperial Army soldiers were lost, and the Imperial Association Army lost more than 2,400 people. It can be said that after last night's explosion, most of the combat effectiveness of our 70,000-strong army has been lost. At the same time, all the heavy weapons of the army were buried in Baoding City.

Among the ruins..." the chief of staff reported in a low voice.

"Baga...ah..." Just as the chief of staff finished speaking, a mouthful of blood spit out from the division commander's mouth. Seeing the division commander who was about to fall to the ground due to shock, the chief of staff rushed forward.

.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, you have to take care of yourself. The tens of thousands of troops left in our army now all need your leadership. Please take care of yourself..." The Chief of Staff quickly comforted...

"Baga, you cunning Eighth Route Army, you and I are at odds with each other. Sooner or later, the Japanese Empire will cut you into pieces..." The division commander stared at himself with eyes that were almost murderous. Facing the direction of Baoding City,

He said harshly...

"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander, now you are the supreme commander of our entire army. Please cheer up and lead us to avenge the warriors who were shattered last night and eliminate the Eighth Route Army..." the chief of staff nodded and replied.

After a few minutes of silence, the division commander slowly wiped away the remaining blood stains at the corners of his mouth, calmed down slowly, and thought about possible countermeasures. After the brief shock, the division commander raised his head

, ordered to the chief of staff in front of him: "The chief of staff will immediately send a report to the commander in Shijiazhuang to report the situation encountered by our army immediately. I request the commander to give the next instructions of our army.

Go and send the report now..."

"Hi, sir, it's the group battle. I'll get to it right away." Seeing that the division commander finally reacted from the shock, his face slowly returned to its usual stern expression. The staff officer breathed a long sigh of relief.

, replied loudly, turned around and ran towards the telegraph room next to the headquarters...

And just when the 70,000-strong army stationed in Baoding City suffered heavy losses due to yesterday's explosion, the entire army was immersed in shock. Shanyin County, hundreds of kilometers away, was also in chaos. However, after all,

Shanyin County is much smaller than Baoding City. Therefore, in last night's explosion, only about 25,000 Japs were wiped out. However, more than 20,000 Imperial Army troops suffered casualties.

More than half.

More than 20,000 soldiers of the Imperial Army, encouraged by more than 200 members of the Third Squadron of the Special Forces Brigade, also fell into a melee. In order to quell the melee in the shortest time, the Japanese army caused the consequences of bombing the camp.

.More than 20,000 Japanese troops stationed outside the city immediately used force to resolve the melee problem seen by the Imperial Alliance Army upon the order of the division commander.

The final result was no surprise. More than 20,000 Japanese troops and more than 20,000 Imperial Army soldiers began a bloody battle on the vast plains surrounding Shanyin County... until dawn, this bloody battle

It finally ended. At this moment, more than 20,000 Imperial Army soldiers lost more than half of them in the melee last night in front of the elite Japanese army...

Just as the two troops were quickly counting the accidental casualties of the night at their stations. Far away in the temporary headquarters in Shijiazhuang, Commander Okamura Neiji was looking at the huge military map in front of him with a confident face.

.Because at this moment, he is still dreaming about how to use the 150,000 troops in his hand to eliminate the Eighth Route Army *** Division in Shanxi Province and eliminate the only stain in his military improvement.

…

However, his wish was completely shattered by the two explosions last night. At this moment, he was still completely in the dark and didn't know about this... "Bang..." Suddenly, there was a sound of the door being opened.

The sound of a sudden push brought me back from my dream. I saw the panting and pale deputy chief of staff, holding a telegram, quickly rushed into the war room and came to his

In front of me, there was a look of anxiety...

"Baga, deputy chief of staff, have you forgotten even the most basic military courtesy? Why didn't you shout a report? Also, you were in a hurry and didn't look like a senior imperial officer." Looking at the expression on the face of the chief of staff in front of him.

, the commander, General Neji Okamura, looked dissatisfied and said angrily...

"Hi, Commander, there is an urgent call from the front line. Something happened to the troops on the front line..." The deputy chief of staff did not answer Okamura Neji's words, but said anxiously.

"Nani, something happened on the front line. How is it possible? The two attack groups, with a total of 150,000 troops, have not launched an attack yet. What can happen? Besides, even if the Eighth Route Army's *** division concentrates all its forces, it will not be possible.

There is no way I can do anything to my 150,000-strong army...Deputy Chief of Staff, don't look for an excuse..." General Okamura Neji immediately retorted after a look of doubt appeared on his face.

"Your Excellency, Commander, what I said is true. This is the urgent telegram just sent by the commanders of the two divisions. Last night, the military camps of the two armies were attacked by a large amount of gunpowder that had been planted in the county in advance.

The county town where the two armies entered last night has been completely razed to the ground at this moment, and the troops have suffered heavy losses. Please take a closer look, Commander..." After saying that, the chief of staff quickly handed the two telegrams in his hand to the commander.

In front of General Neiji Kanokamura.

"Nani?" Although the chief of staff once again said with certainty. However, as the supreme commander, out of trust in the combat effectiveness of the imperial army, the commander still showed a doubt in his eyes. However, looking at the letter handed over by the chief of staff

I still stretched out my right hand to take the telegram, and started to read it...

For a moment, the look on his face that had just been a trace of doubt turned into one of shock before he had even read the contents of the telegram. The entire war room also became very depressed as the commander's face changed rapidly.

…

Looking at the expression of the commander in front of him and seeing the two telegrams slowly falling from the commander's hand to the ground, the chief of staff knew that the commander was just as shocked by the news as he was just now. Finally, the commander was shocked by the news.

, after a few minutes of silence, the commander finally began to move a few times. However, his irritability made him say nothing.

"Your Excellency, Commander, now the two armies are waiting for your telegram. Please cheer up. Although the two armies have suffered heavy losses, the main force is still there..." Looking at the front of me, I seem to have aged several times.

Your Excellency, the 20-year-old Commander, the Deputy Chief of Staff reminded in a low voice...

"Ah...Baga...how is it possible, how could this happen? How could this happen to the 150,000-strong army? Two entire field divisions...just like this, the whole army was destroyed in the Eighth Route Army's poisonous plan. How should I explain to His Majesty the Emperor?"

, what should I do..." At this moment, the commander, who was already in shock, did not answer the words of the chief of staff in front of him, but muttered to himself...

"Your Excellency, Commander, now that the two armies have suffered heavy losses, they are no longer a match for the Eighth Route Army's *** Division in terms of strength. We must come up with possible countermeasures immediately. Otherwise, the remaining tens of thousands of armies will again

I was brutally attacked by the Eighth Route Army once. Commander, please cheer up. Tens of thousands of soldiers in the army need you to issue the latest orders..." Seeing the commander who seemed to have lost his mind, the deputy chief of staff reminded him loudly again.
