The puppet troops fled.
The Japanese army was defeated.
At that moment, Li Yunlong ordered the 1st Battalion and the Heavy Machine Gun Battalion to stop shooting, and at the same time asked the Cavalry Battalion to attack.
A cavalry battalion of more than 250 cavalry, led by Sun Desheng, fought out from the flank of the position.
The location where the Japanese and puppet troops were ambushed was only more than 150 meters away from the Xinyi Regiment's position.
At this time, the Japanese who survived could only reach 200 meters. This distance was just for the cavalry to complete the charge.
The puppet troops fled in the opposite direction of Heshun County, while the Japanese escaped in the direction of Heshun County.
Under the command of Sun Desheng, the third company of the cavalry battalion went to chase the puppet troops, and the first and second companies of the cavalry battalion went to chase the Japanese.
Although the area around this area is not flat, it is almost all low soil slopes, which are more suitable for cavalry.
This is also the reason why the cavalry battalion was able to retreat in time after ambushing the leading troops of the 225th Regiment here some time ago.
The Japs heard the rumbling sound coming from behind, turned around and were frightened out of their wits.
They all ran as fast as they could to feed themselves, only hating their parents for missing two legs.
The cavalry battalion quickly completed its sprint. Amidst the sound of horse hooves, the Eighth Route Army cavalry surged forward like a wave.
Dozens of Japanese soldiers were like a flock of frightened sheep. The Japanese soldiers, who had lost their commander, ran forward in a hurry to escape for their lives.
This small force is no match for the Eighth Route Cavalry, and they cannot even muster the courage to resist.
Before the Japanese could get very far, the Eighth Route Army cavalry caught up with them. In the flash of cold light, they slashed down one after another with sharp Yunlong knives.
One after another, the Japanese fell into a pool of blood, and one after another, the Japanese heads rolled to the ground.
Li Yunlong saw this scene in the field of view of the telescope, and the overall situation was decided, so he said: "Give me the order to gather everyone and go to Gongjiagou."
Li Yunlong then led his troops to Gongjiagou.
After marching along the road for more than half an hour, we saw soldiers from the third battalion sitting and resting on the roadside.
Apparently the battle is over.
Seeing Li Yunlong coming with a large force, Xu Yonghai, commander of the third battalion, immediately ran to Li Yunlong and straightened his body.
Before Xu Yonghai could speak, Li Yunlong asked: "Third Battalion Commander, how is the situation here?"
With a chuckle, Xu Yonghai said: "Eradicate a whole Japanese squadron, and not a single Japanese escaped through the net."
Li Yunlong looked satisfied and asked, "How is the situation over at Gongjiagou?"
"The battle over Gongjiagou has ended long ago." Xu Yonghai grinned again, "Captain Chen has captured a lot of good things."
Li Yunlong's eyes lit up and he said to Xu Yonghai: "Third Battalion Commander, quickly gather your troops and transport the loot to Gongjiagou."
"Yes!" Xu Yonghai turned around and shouted, "Give me the order to assemble the whole camp!"
Immediately afterwards, Li Yunlong led the third battalion and rushed towards Gongjiagou. Not long after walking, he saw a Japanese armored vehicle that had been burned into an empty shell.
Through the gaps in the armored vehicle, one could vaguely see the burnt corpses of the Japanese inside the armored vehicle.
Just one glance at Li Yunlong revealed that the Japanese armored vehicle was hit by a bazooka rocket launcher.
After walking for a while, Li Yunlong led his troops into Gongjiagou.
As soon as we entered Gongjia Valley, we saw all kinds of Japanese trucks lined up on the road at the bottom of the ditch.
The bodies of the dead Japanese soldiers were also placed on the road by soldiers from the county brigade.
Soldiers from the county brigade have unloaded most of the supplies from the trucks onto the road, and there is almost a hill piled up next to each truck.
When he learned that the regiment leader had arrived, Chen Dugu hurried over and saluted Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang with a military salute: "Regiment leader, political commissar!"
Li Yunlong asked: "Chen Dugu, how is the seizure situation here?"
Zhao Gang and the battalion commanders behind him also looked at Chen Dugu with expectations on their faces.
"Regiment leader, political commissar." The corners of Chen Dugu's mouth turned upward, "We have really made a fortune this time."
"Except for the five trucks whose supplies were blown up, we seized all the remaining 69 trucks' supplies."
"I made a rough estimate. Based on a truck's full load of 1.5 tons, the materials we seized this time are about 100 tons."
Li Yunlong opened his eyes wide, grinned, and said with a smile: "100 tons! Oh my God! Haha, we are rich!"
Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao and all the battalion commanders also had smiles on their faces, and the corners of their mouths almost reached their ears.
Zhao Gang asked: "What supplies are there?"
Chen Dugu said: "Most of them are food, such as millet, canned food, fruits and vegetables, and a small amount of weapons and ammunition, but not much, only four or five cars."
The Japanese raided the base area, but did not engage in any fighting with the main force of the Eighth Route Army. At this time, they still had plenty of ammunition, but the food they carried was almost exhausted.
So this time the Japanese transport team mainly transported food to the Japanese mopping up troops.
It will be transported to Liao County this afternoon and will be delivered to the Japs' mopping up troops tomorrow evening.
However, a new batch is cheaper.
"This little devil really knows how to enjoy it." Zhang Dabiao said with a smile, "He went to the base area to raid and got such good food."
"What bad intentions can the Japanese have? They sent so much supplies to our new regiment all the way." Zheng Yu also said with a smile, "I think Yoshio Shinozuka can be the captain of our transportation team."
Everyone burst out laughing, and the air was filled with joy.
Li Yunlongdao was estimating whether the new group could transport these materials with its current transportation capacity.
The total of 100 tons of materials is almost 200,000 kilograms.
One military horse can carry 500 kilograms, and more than 250 military horses in a cavalry battalion can carry at least 120,000 kilograms.
The cavalry battalion is equipped with all large Japanese horses, which can carry two adult men on their backs and carry 500 kilograms of cargo without any problem.
It's just that after carrying the goods, the horses must be fed with concentrated feed, otherwise the horses will lose weight.
In fact, the Japanese troops were not very powerful at first.
During the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, the Japanese also came to China riding their war horses. The average height of these war horses was only 135 centimeters, and the average height of Japanese soldiers was less than 150 centimeters. When the Western powers saw it, they just thought it was funny, as if something was wrong.
Even melon split dates can help them carve up the Qing Dynasty.
So they called the Japanese cavalry the dwarf legion, and the Japanese war horses were also called large rats.
Later, the little devil introduced top Western war horses, such as Don horses, Angron horses, etc., and used these stallions to mate with Japanese mares. After decades of mating, the Japanese horses, which were taller than the little devil, were born.
.
The remaining 80,000 kilograms will be handed over to the logistics transportation team, and the soldiers will take some more. This transportation capacity is completely enough to take away all the supplies.
Another 100 tons will be no problem.
Because each soldier can carry 50 kilograms, the new regiment now has more than 4,000 soldiers and can transport more than 200,000 kilograms at once.
At that moment, Li Yunlong said: "Don't move the supplies yet. When the cavalry battalion comes, the Japanese truck is full of treasures. Take it apart and take away everything you can."
"If you can't take it away, blow it up when you can."
Truck rubber tires are a good thing. They can be used not only to make shoe soles, but also to make mule cart wheels.
In addition, the diesel engine in the truck and the diesel in the fuel tank are precious.
In most cases, after the Eighth Route Army ambushed the Japanese transport team, it only had enough time to take away the wounded and supplies.
Therefore, there is very little time to dismantle the truck and take away everything on the truck. However, all the Japs closest to here have been killed, so there is no need to worry about whether there are Japs reinforcements.
What's more, unless the Japs come with more than one regiment of troops, they won't be able to do anything to the new regiment.
A group of battalion commanders hurriedly led people to rummage through the truck to find maintenance tools.
After finding the tool box, I quickly started to dismantle the truck and remove the tires and engine.
Some soldiers used containers and pipes to suck out the diesel fuel from the truck's fuel tank.
Zhao Gang came over and said: "Old Li, there are people from two villages nearby. Let's distribute some food to the people."
There are two villages less than 500 meters away, namely Gongjiagou Village and Yaodi Village.
"We can distribute some food to the people." Li Yunlong said, "But the people here must follow us and move into the mountains."
"Otherwise, if the Japanese transport team is robbed here, they will definitely retaliate and massacre the people in these two villages."
"Okay, I'll do the villagers' work." Zhao Gang said.
Li Yunlong nodded: "Take the guards with you and pay attention to safety."
Zhao Gang then took the guard company to mobilize the villagers and went into the mountains with the Eighth Route Army.
The cavalry battalion moved quickly and soon arrived at Gongjiagou after completing its mission of chasing down the Japanese and puppet troops.
Not long after, the new group took the loot and the people of the two villages and headed for the guerrilla zone where they came last night.
…
Until it's almost dark.
There was no news at all from Tokumi Shima, the staff officer of the brigade stationed in Heshun County.
The Japanese First Army Headquarters has sent two telegrams in succession to inquire about the situation.
So Kaneshima Keitoku sent a small team of Japs on horseback to go north along the road to search for the whereabouts of Sakuma Tadashi and the reinforcements.
About an hour later, the Japanese who went out to search came back and brought back a headless corpse. It was none other than Tadashi Zuokuma.
At this time, Kaneshima Keitoku was also in a panic. Heshun County currently only has one squadron of troops. If an eight-pronged attack was launched at this time...
At that moment, Kaneshima Keitoku asked the communications troops to immediately send a telegram to the headquarters and request tactical guidance.
…
Taiyuan.
Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly stood up from his chair and looked at the reporting communications officer Toshimatsu Kasai:
"Nani?"
"The transport team was completely wiped out, and even the two squadrons that went to rescue were all smashed into pieces?"
"Zuo Jiuzhongzuo's head was smashed?"
Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes were full of disbelief and disbelief.
He threw documents all over the table, then suddenly pulled out the lieutenant general's command knife and chopped the fine desk into several sections. Even the lamp and phone on the table were chopped to pieces.
What made him angry was that all the more than 100 tons of supplies shipped to the mopping up troops fell into the hands of the Eighth Route Army.
He defeated more than 600 imperial troops, which was like losing his wife and losing his troops.
This is simply a great shame.
"Inform intelligence staff officer An Teng Zhongzuo and ask him to find out which Eighth Route Army group did it. I will personally chop off their commander's head."
"In addition, send power to the 9th Brigade, 29th Brigade, 36th Division and 37th Division, and order all units to end their sweeps, withdraw from the Eighth Route Base Area tomorrow, and return to their respective defense areas."
Yoshio Shinozuka narrowed his eyes and his tone was filled with murderous intent.
Judging from the Gongjiagou ambush battle, it was obvious that the main force of the Eighth Route Army was no longer in its bandit base and had long since escaped from the Japanese encirclement.
If the main force of the Eighth Route Army cannot be found for a decisive battle, the subsequent raids will be meaningless.
What's more, the purpose of the Japanese army's construction of the Baijin Railway and Pingliao Highway was to continuously transport supplies to the raiding troops during the raids.
At present, the Baijin Railway has not yet been repaired, so continuing to use trucks to transport supplies along the highway to Liao County is just to provide support for the Eighth Route Army.
"Hi!" Kasai Toshimatsu was so scared that he was afraid that the commander would stab him, so he quickly nodded and walked towards the communication room next door.
"idiot!"
Yoshio Shinozuka cursed bitterly.
