    Throughout the Anti-Japanese War, a total of thousands of Japanese soldiers accepted the ideological transformation of the Eighth Route Army after being captured and became members of the Eighth Route Army.

    Although many Japanese soldiers did not become the Eighth Route Army, after they returned to the Japanese army, they began to spread some peaceful concepts within the Japanese army where militarism was prevalent.

    These concepts may not be as effective as bullets in directly wiping out the Japanese army.

    However, it can subtly change the thinking of some Japanese soldiers, causing their beliefs to waver when fighting.

    It can also play a significant role in dismantling the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army.

    This time, the Fourth Army's total attack on the two Japanese divisions only took about two days.

    In the evening of the next day, all the Japanese troops were annihilated.

    During the whole process, the Japanese army heard the news that these two Japanese divisions had been completely wiped out by the Fourth Army before even the troops to rescue them had time to set off.

    When interrogating Japanese prisoners, some commanders of the Fourth Army noticed that many of the Japanese soldiers were willing to surrender rather than continue to resist.

    The reason is that they have seen the leaflets sent to them by the Fourth Army before.

    After these leaflets fell into the Japanese camp, they were quickly confiscated and destroyed by the Japanese commander.

    ¡°However, many of the words in it were engraved in the minds of these Japanese soldiers.

    At the very least, they realized that there might be a way to survive if they chose to surrender, and the enemy would not kill prisoners of war.

    And the handling of the Fourth Army did make these Japanese soldiers realize that their original choice was correct.

    Xia Yang ordered his soldiers to gather all the captured Japanese soldiers, and then use transport planes and other vehicles to send them directly to the rear of the Eighth Route Army.

    He wanted to let the Political Propaganda Department of the Eighth Route Army carry out ideological transformation for them.

    The news that the Japanese army had been completely annihilated soon reached Yamamoto Isoroku's headquarters.

    As the supreme commander of the Japanese army in normal battles, Isoroku Yamamoto directly lost two divisions, which was a serious blow to him.

    Although the content written in the telegram was very brief, it caused a great shock to his heart.

    At this time, his chief of staff, Oda Masawa, also chose to remain silent and did not say a word.

    ¡°He just stared at the area of ??Qinhuangdao with a pair of eyes.

    It was as if his eyes could turn into artillery shells that bombarded the Fourth Army, carpet bombing the entire area of ??Qinhuangdao.

    Now, there are no Japanese troops in this area, and basically all the soldiers from the two divisions sent there have been wiped out.

    Even the Japanese troops at the squadron level that completed the breakout no longer exist.

    Only scattered Japanese soldiers managed to break out.

    It took more than a week for more than 40,000 Japanese troops from the two divisions to be either wiped out or captured by the enemy in the Qinhuangdao area.

    This is an unimaginable thing for Oda Masazawa and Yamamoto Isoroku.

    In fact, in the northern Henan region, a similar thing happened once.

    Wei Xing once commanded his troops to carry out segmentation, encirclement and overnight raids on the main force of Japanese divisions in northern Henan.

    It often takes just one night to cripple an integrated division of the Japanese army, making it lose the ability to continue fighting.

    Finally, Yamamoto Isoroku, who had always remained silent, began to speak.

    He looked at the Chief of Staff Oda Masawa next to him and said: "Oda-kun, did you also expect this?"

    Although he didn¡¯t mention it directly, Oda Masawa knew that he was talking about the news that two Japanese divisions had been wiped out.

    Oda Masawa shook his head and replied truthfully: "I'm sorry, I couldn't imagine that the enemy could wipe out both of our reorganized divisions in one day."

    Yamamoto Isoroku nodded.

    At this moment, he realized a problem, that is, all their previous strategies and strategies seemed so clumsy when faced with the lightning-like offensive of the four armies.

    "If the enemy can wipe out two of his divisions in one day, even if these two divisions are in a disadvantageous position and have no rear support,??'s other fire support.

    But the enemy¡¯s speed of annihilation was indeed beyond their imagination.

    "Before these two Japanese divisions were annihilated by the Fourth Army, they sent several telegrams to describe the horror of the Fourth Army's firepower.

    One of the telegrams described it this way.

    ¡°The whole earth seemed to be burning, and everything was exploding around it.

    The shock wave from 4 weeks ago shocked human body organs. Without the cover of the air-raid shelter, we would not even be able to survive outside for more than one second.  "

    The staff offices of the two divisions of the Japanese army came to a conclusion after making rough calculations.

    That is, the artillery firepower and air force firepower used by the enemy this time may be twice or even three times the firepower of the Japanese army of the same size.

    The last time the Japanese army faced such powerful firepower was in the Battle of Nomenhan a few years ago.

    That year, the Soviet Far East troops launched a fierce attack on them.

    Thousands of fighter planes and thousands of armored vehicles and tanks dropped bombs one after another on the heads of the Japanese troops, leaving the entire land devastated.

    Only some of the Japanese troops hidden in the craters could survive, but even so, the Japanese troops at that time were still able to grit their teeth and engage in a desperate battle with the Soviet Far East troops.

    The Japanese army once analyzed that battle, although they ultimately lost the Battle of Nomenhan.

    But in terms of tactics, the quality of the underlying soldiers, and the overall level of the commander, they all have certain advantages.

    "It's just that the Soviet Far East troops have too much firepower, and they have no way of resisting.

    Especially the enemy's large-scale armored cluster attack was something the Japanese army had never seen before.

    However, the Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army they are facing now not only has outstanding low-level soldiers and commanders, but also has very sophisticated weapons and equipment, and rich combat experience.

    What a terrifying opponent this is. Although Yamamoto Isoroku and Oda Masawa have paid enough attention to this opponent, they still have not put Xia Yang and his troops at the level they deserve.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
