The process of exterminating the bandits was very smooth.
He did not encounter any obstacles.
The 344th Regiment was fully equipped with long guns and cannons. Li Tiancheng had always believed that if he could solve the problem with bullets, he would not need to sacrifice his soldiers.
Therefore, with the 344th Regiment's frenzied barrage of ammunition, none of the bandit strongholds could stop the 344th Regiment's heavy punches.
In less than half a month, the 344th Regiment and four battalions took turns to move out.
Li Tiancheng's plan to clear out the bandits within a 200-kilometer radius was a perfect success!
Not only that, but they had also advanced another 30 kilometers.
After clearing out the bandits, the entire 344th Regiment's soldiers had changed.
After the initial training, he showed off his abilities and was full of vitality. He looked like a person, but he was still a rookie. If he were to really go to the battlefield and fight the Japanese head-on, he would probably suffer heavy casualties in just a few rounds!
But now, after the soldiers of Regiment 344 had seen blood, the sharp aura on everyone's body had disappeared. It had been hidden, waiting to be quickly pulled out during the battle and killed in one blow!
Li Tiancheng nodded slightly in his heart. The soldiers had become like this in less than half a month. It could be considered to have met his expectations.
However, it was not enough for now.
They had only fought bandits, but they had never fought the Japanese.
The Japanese's combat strength was far from what the bandits could compare to.
Li Tiancheng found Zhu Hongguang and the other battalion commanders and told them about their next plan, which was to find the weak spots of the Japanese and attack them!
Northwest Shanxi was very vast.
The Japanese had placed many strongholds in various traffic arteries and strategic locations.
The number of Japanese soldiers stationed in the stronghold was usually between a small team and a squadron, which was between 50 to 200 people.
In addition, the number of puppet soldiers was also added. The number of puppet soldiers was not certain. Generally, it depended on the importance of the stronghold. The importance of the stronghold was high, and the number of puppet soldiers was high. The importance of the stronghold was low, and the number of puppet soldiers was low.
In short, the 334th Regiment was stationed in seven or eight Japanese strongholds around Dagu Town. There were about 200 to 600 Japanese soldiers.
Attacking the Japanese's stronghold.
Li Tiancheng's attack plan was no longer a division of one battalion. Instead, it was two battalions attacking while the other acted as a cover, leaving one battalion to guard Dagu Town.
Even a lion would use its full strength to hunt a rabbit!
Although there were not many people in the Japanese stronghold, more than half of them were puppet soldiers who did not have much combat power.
However, the 334th Regiment had fought with the Japanese before.
The Japanese's combat strength was impressive.
If they didn't use the howitzers, the 344th Regiment wouldn't be able to defeat the Japanese.
Another seven or eight days passed. Under Li Tiancheng's plan, the 344th Regiment steadily took down one Japanese stronghold after another around Dagu Town.
Such an operation made the two Japanese teams in Farstone Town unable to sit still…
……
Faraway Stone Town was a town to the north of Great Lonely Town.
It was not far from Dagu Town, about 100 kilometers away.
Because it was close to the front line of the Jinsui Army base, there were two large groups of more than 2000 Japanese soldiers stationed in Yuanshi Town all year round.
It was also because there were two large groups of Japanese soldiers stationed in Farstone Town.
Previously, when the 344th Regiment was sent out to hunt down the bandits, they had specifically bypassed Farstone Town.
Although the Japanese knew about the movements of the 344th Regiment in Dagu Town, they did not care about what the 344th Regiment was doing because there were no special instructions from the higher-ups.
But now, the 344th Regiment had turned their attention to them and destroyed several of their strongholds.
Heh, really like a tiger pulling out its beard from its mouth-seeking death!
Thus, on this day, the two great captains of Farstone Town gathered together and began to discuss.
Maruji held a piece of information with a gloomy face.""Tian Jing-kun, we just received news that a stronghold 50 miles south of us was attacked by Regiment 344 again.”
Pa!
Shaosa Tai slammed the table and said angrily,""Baka, these Chinese people really don't know life and death. They dare to act in front of our Empire's army.”
"Maruji-kun, I can't stand it anymore. Destroy this 344th Regiment of the Jinsui Army!”
"Yes!" " That's exactly what I'm thinking." Maruchi nodded." I just happened to receive orders from Taiyuan's headquarters to find an opportunity to get rid of the 344th Regiment."”
"Then Maruji-kun, what are we waiting for? We must complete General Shinozuka's orders!”
"No, no, Tai-kun, listen to me first. Regiment 344 is not that easy to attack.”"According to our intelligence, the 344th Regiment had fifty 152mm howitzers. Sakata's regiment was wiped out by these fifty howitzers!"”
"If we were to get close, I'm afraid that we'll be in the range of their 344th Regiment's artillery fire.”
"According to the scouts 'report, the city walls and turrets have been set up in front of Dagu Town within this month. If we attack directly, we will definitely suffer heavy losses.”
These words stopped in Shaosa Tai's ears and temporarily suppressed his anger, but his worries increased.
According to what Marudi said, wasn't Dagu Town impregnable? Then how should they attack?
