"Damn it, we have no other choice now. Tell the frontline soldiers to tear a hole in the Eighth Route Army's encirclement at all costs."

"Hayi!"

At this time, Yoshio Shinozuka had no other way to go. The Eighth Route Army was in the front and the People's Army was in the rear.

Compared with the People's Army, he preferred to face the Eighth Route Army. At least the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness was not that strong.

"Chief, the little devils over there are so desperate that they charge our position several times without risking their lives."

"The offensive was fierce, but we were barely able to block it. The position is still in our hands, but we can do it a few more times."

"I feel like it's a bit difficult to defend. If this continues, our troops will suffer serious losses."

After the Eighth Route Army was violently attacked by the Japs, they immediately came to the commander and complained.

Indeed, today's offensive by the Japs is more intense than before. There is no other way if they don't fight tooth and nail to break through the encirclement.

Once the People's Army in the rear catches up, there will be no possibility of survival.

Therefore, in this desperate situation, several little devils tried their best to charge against the Eighth Route Army's position.

If it doesn't work once, do it twice, and if it doesn't work twice, do it three times. It's as if these little devils are like robots and don't know how to get tired.

In response, the chief just smiled slightly.

"Send more manpower to hold this position and not let the little devil escape."

"The crazier the Japs are now, the more necessary it is for us to stop them. Besides, if we can annihilate the entire Japs in northwestern Shanxi in one fell swoop."

"It doesn't matter if the losses are bigger. And judging from the time, the People's Army is almost here."

"When the time comes, we will cooperate with the People's Army and directly eat the remnants of these little devils' First Army."

"Roger it! Chief."

...........

In fact, just as the commander thought, the reason why Shinozuka Yoshio went so crazy was to attack the Eighth Route Army positions.

The purpose of tearing a hole in the Eighth Route Army's position was to escape before the People's Army from behind arrived.

Although Shinozuka Yoshio's idea was good, the reality was cruel, and they had not yet broken through the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army.

The People's Army in the rear had already caught up, and just like that, with the cooperation of the Eighth Route Army and the People's Army, Yoshio Shinozuka and all the senior officials of the First Army died here.

However, there was another person who ran out, and that was Yamashita Taro. Su Yu told the former some of the situation in advance.

He was told where it would be easiest to break through, so under Su Yu's guidance, Yamashita Taro easily broke through with a small group of little Japs.

After breaking out of the heavy encirclement of the Eighth Route Army, Yamashita Taro headed to Neji Okamura's position without stopping.

On the other hand, on the side of the People's Army, several brigade commanders directly led their large troops to surround the last remnants of the Little Japanese First Army.

This battle was quickly over, and by now, there were no more little Japs in the entire northwest of Shanxi.

Most of the land in northwestern Shanxi has also fallen into the hands of the People's Army, and the flag of the People's Army is planted in many places.

Not only the People's Army, but also the Eighth Route Army also gained a lot from this battle, at least those who were like the little devils.

Su Yu couldn't stand it, and almost all of them were left to the Eighth Route Army. You should know that these were tens of thousands of 38-guns, not to mention how much they would improve the Eighth Route Army.

It's just that the People's Army already has an AK-47 automatic rifle on hand, so it doesn't look down on the little devil's 38 cover at all.

There are also Type 92 infantry guns, grenade launchers, and crooked light machine guns. To be honest, Su Yu doesn't like these things.

A large part of it was also left to the Eighth Route Army. When the commander saw these gains, he was extremely happy.

He didn't expect the People's Army to be so generous. He only blocked the Japs for an hour or two and got so many weapons.

It can be said that they made a lot of money. This time both sides made huge gains. On the side of the People's Army, although there was no gain in weapons.

But Su Yu took this opportunity to expand the territory of his People's Army at least ten times. This alone was completely enough.

As for the Eighth Route Army, their territory has not expanded, but they took this opportunity to make up for their biggest shortcomings.

That is in terms of weapons. You must know that the Eighth Route Army is most famous for being poor. Let alone the 38th Army, even the old-fashioned ones made in Hanyang.

In the entire Eighth Route Army, almost only two or three people can be divided into one force, let alone those heavy weapons.

For example, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, and Type 92 infantry guns. Now the Eighth Route Army has captured a large number of weapons from the First Army of the Little Japanese Army.

In a short period of time, there is no need to worry about weapons problems. After this battle is won, both the Eighth Route Army and the People's Army will be very happy.
