"Platform leader, what should I do? The Japanese are so cunning that they used the Imperial Army to block bullets and land mines!" After seeing what the Japanese army had done, a squad leader of the reconnaissance platoon frowned and asked Chen Hu.

"We can't control so much, do it!" Chen Hu's face sank and he decided very decisively.

"Since they have become the Imperial Army and choose to work hard for the Japanese, we will no longer blame us. If they don't kill them now, when they reach our base, they will kill us with the Japanese. They will definitely not be ruthless when they kill us!"

"Yes, platoon leader!"

The guerrillas, district teams, and reconnaissance siege, had more than 100 people stuck around the Japanese army, and almost all the solutions they could think of, trying to slow down the Japanese and puppet troops' mobilization.

However, this place is too close to the independent regiment's garrison, and the Japanese army does not regard the life of the Imperial Army as a human life. No matter how much casualties the Imperial Army are, the Japanese have no intention of stopping. They continue to push their backs with bayonets and force them to advance.

At the command of the Independent Regiment, the Chief of Staff walked in with a frown, his face very bad.

"Captain, political commissar! The Japanese really didn't retreat!"

"The remaining two sweeping troops are coming towards us at a very fast speed. At most two days, they will have a fire with the troops we arranged at the mountain pass!"

"It's really here!" Cheng Xiao asked back with a disbelief expression.

Seeing the Chief of Staff nodding with a serious face, Cheng Xiao's face quickly became gloomy.

"Captain, you're right. Ono won't give up until he eliminates this time?"

"The two sweeping troops have a total of more than 6,000 people. Even if we kill another thousand along the way, they will be 5,000 well-equipped Japanese and puppet troops, and there are also aircraft and cannons to support them. Commander, no matter how strong the blocking positions we built on the road to the mountain, they are definitely not their opponent!"

"Captain, the strength of the enemy and us is too great. I suggest giving up the garrison and rush out to fight guerrillas with the Japanese while the Japanese have not blocked the passage of the mountains!"

Regardless of the gains and losses of a city and a place, retreat if you can't win. This is the tactics and tactics that the Eighth Route Army often used when facing heavy Japanese encirclement and suppression. At this time, this method is most suitable for the independent regiment.

Chief of Staff Zeng Quan also stared at Wang Ping with an expression that only this method is possible, hoping that Wang Ping could agree.

"Political commissar, chief of staff, the main force can break through and move out, what about the logistics forces? What should we do with these families in the mountains? How can they move out!" Wang Ping did not answer directly, but asked with a serious look on his face.

"Also, last night there were more than 300 seriously injured people who could not move. What should they do? It is definitely unrealistic to carry them to break through the siege and fight!"

"The last thing I want to talk about is the situation outside the mountains. After breaking through, can we really avoid the heavy encirclement of the Japanese army?"

Deng Hongtao, who was in charge of intelligence, suddenly walked in: "Political Commissar, Chief of Staff, and the regiment commander are right. Even if more than a thousand of us rushed out of the mountains, we could not escape the heavy encirclement of the Japanese army."

"According to the information summarized by the guerrillas in each village, the Japanese and puppet troops did not ignore these villages after the sweeping, and many places left troops. The people from several villages, as soon as they returned to the village, the Japanese and puppet troops came back with murderous intent, which forced local troops to fight to the death to block the Japanese and puppet troops and cover the villagers' relocation and retreat!"

"So far, the people in dozens of villages along the highway have not returned."

"These villages are under the control of the Japanese and have the spies of the Japanese. As soon as the villagers go back, the Japanese will surround them and catch them on the battlefield to take mines, or kill people directly!"

"In addition, the Japanese also arranged a cavalry brigade and an infantry brigade with cars to carry on their own transportation!"

"As long as we come out of the mountain, the Japanese will know immediately. Then their cavalry and mobile infantry will pounce on us and drag us down!"

"At that time, without the protection of the mountains, we will have no chance of winning against the cannons and planes in the hands of the Japanese and puppet troops. It is better to stay at the garrison!"

Cheng Xiao was the first to react and said ruthlessly: "Then fight. At worst, you can fight with the Japanese. One life will be exchanged for another life."

"Yes, we have killed many Japanese devils in this anti-encirclement and suppression operation. Even if we fight all the troops, we will make a profit! The regiment commander, say nothing, just one word, beat it!" Chief of Staff Zeng Quan also reacted and answered firmly.

Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "It's not yet a desperate situation. After all, we still have nearly six kilometers of defense lines to use!"

Major General Ono was in a very bad mood at the Japanese Army Brigade Command of Laiyuan City.

Whether it was air reconnaissance or ground troops, they repeatedly confirmed to Ono that Aoba Nakasa and Colonel Kato were both broken. Especially Colonel Kato, the ground troops even found his body, but almost all of them were stripped away.

"General, we seem to have found out the reason why all the troops of Aoba Nakasa's troops in Hongqiao Village were broken!" The Chief of Staff walked to Ono with a look of disbelief and reported.

"Say!" Ono asked with his eyes fixed on the Chief of Staff, unable to tell whether he was happy or unhappy.

"Hi!" the Chief of Staff quickly answered.

"There are a large number of craters and wires in Hongqiao Village. The engineers judged that the Independent Regiment had buried a large amount of explosives in Hongqiao Village before and connected them with electric wires. After the Imperial Army entered Hongqiao Village, it suddenly detonated the explosives, and then..."

"In other words, Aoba Nakasa entered a powder barrel last night, and he could kill thousands of us at any time!" Major General Ono suddenly realized his mind, and then asked with a gloomy face!

"Hi!" the chief of staff said affirming with his head down.

Ono was furious and killed his infantry brigade, an artillery brigade, and two regiments of the Imperial Army.

If this matter reaches my colleagues, I will definitely become a laughing stock for my colleagues.

Because, since the Imperial Army entered China, there has never been such a large-scale army so frustrated. This is simply a shame for the Imperial Army.

"Baga, what are the engineers under Aoba Nakasa's men eating? So much gunpowder has not appeared!" Major General Ono cursed loudly.

The Chief of Staff quickly replied: "No one expected that the Independent Regiment would do this. Blasting a village at a time requires tens of thousands of kilograms of explosives alone, and it also requires strong explosives. I really don't know how the Independent Regiment did it. In addition, it also requires professional engineers... Various conditions, with the strength of the Independent Regiment, it is impossible to do it at all, but they did it, which is incredible!"

"It is understandable that the engineers under Aoye Nakasa did not expect it, and they were already broken and paid the price for their mistakes!"
