The commander of the fifth regiment saw that the scout was so indignant and full of anger that he thought he had heard wrongly. He asked directly with a suspicious expression: "Are you sure that the Japanese troops who just divided their forces only killed people in our base area and did not intend to arrest anyone and come back to continue attacking us?
?”
The scout shook his head and answered firmly: "They killed everyone they saw and didn't arrest anyone..."
"After setting the fire, they went to the next village and killed them without grabbing anything. They were very fast, as if they were afraid that our main force would catch them!"
The fifth regiment leader seemed to have thought of something, and said with a look of enlightenment: "I seem to understand a little bit..."
"The purpose of the little devils in dividing our troops is to kill people, cause destruction in our base area, and force us to divide our troops to encircle and suppress them..."
"They divided their troops into seven groups to carry out sabotage in the base area. The troops are erratic, and they may be their target anywhere."
"If we want to kill them and protect our base, we must gather heavy troops to encircle them from all directions. Calculating one reinforced battalion to encircle them and one reinforced squadron, we also need seven reinforced battalions to be able to eliminate them."
"But because these little devils are erratic and have no fixed attack targets, they are likely to cut off their wrists if we bite them, leaving some troops behind, while other troops are in urgent need of destroying and killing people in the base area!"
"Forcing us to deploy more troops to deal with them."
"The remaining troops in the base area only have one main brigade and three independent regiments. It is definitely impossible to launch an attack on all Japanese troops at the same time."
"If we want to reduce the losses in the base area and reduce the number of civilian casualties, we can only mobilize independent brigades to return to the base area to support them."
"You little devil is so scheming..."
"They actually forced us to mobilize the independent brigade to return to the base area by extending the butcher's knife to the common people!"
The leader of the Duyi Regiment was anxious and immediately asked: "Then what should we do next?"
"We can't just watch the little devils wreak havoc in our base area and extend the butcher's knife to ordinary people, right?"
"The Japanese troops were divided into seven groups, and each group was reinforced with mortars and heavy machine guns."
"There are only some guerrillas in each village to protect the people, and they are no match for them."
"If there is no way to prevent the Japanese army from wreaking havoc in the base area and massacring the people..."
"Seven villages in the base area will be massacred at one time...one or two thousand people's lives will be lost...if a small army attacks two villages in one day, then more than a dozen villages will be massacred..."
"I don't dare to think about it anymore..."
Seeing that the leader of the only regiment turned paler as he talked, the leader of the fifth regiment, as the backbone of this place, could not panic, let alone lose his mind.
Take a deep breath, try to stay calm, and then order: "Our four main battalions here will attack immediately."
"According to the scout's guidance, immediately encircle and destroy the four Japanese and puppet troops closest to us."
"Each of the three main battalions of the fifth regiment will deploy one to strengthen the platoon, and immediately catch up with the other three groups of Japs, attack them with guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare, attack them sneakily, consume their troops, slow down their marching speed, and buy time for the surrounding people to move!
"
"If the house is burned, burn it. People must not be killed..."
"As long as we are alive, we can rebuild our homes."
"If you are killed by the Japanese, there will be nothing left..."
"So no matter what, save the lives of the people first and then talk about other things."
After saying that, he shouted to the telegraph operator not far away: "Send a telegram to the headquarters immediately..."
"After being intercepted by us, the Japanese troops suddenly divided their forces, used squadrons as units to wreak havoc in the base area, and massacred the people, forcing us to deploy heavy troops to besiege them..."
"Our troops are limited and can only attack four Japanese armies at the same time. We cannot spare the troops to attack the remaining three Japanese armies. We ask the headquarters to mobilize reinforcements as soon as possible to eliminate all Japanese armies that enter the base area and reduce losses in the base area and civilian casualties..."
…………
Jinjiawan...
A very ordinary village in the Yizhong base area.
As soon as the villagers received the news and were preparing to move, a Japanese squad blocked the village entrance with a light machine gun.
"Da da da……"
Amidst the fierce gunfire, dozens of people who had rushed to the entrance of the village were not spared, and they were all beaten into pieces.
The other people were trembling and hiding in their houses, afraid to come out, praying that the Japanese would not enter the village and kill people.
Their wishes are doomed to fail.
After a while, a raging fire broke out in the village. If the people hiding in the houses wanted to avoid being burned to death, they had to help the old and young to rush out of the houses that were already shrouded in fire.
As a result, the little devils stood guard at the door like a target, and a common man came out and shot a bullet, killing them all in the village...
On the road about three kilometers away from Jinjiawan, the commander of the fifth regiment personally led a reinforced battalion to pursue these little devils.
His goal is to end the battle before dark and eliminate this Japanese and puppet army...
Only in this way can he free up his hands to deal with other Japanese and puppet troops and reduce losses in the base area.
Seeing the sound of a fierce exchange of fire suddenly coming from the direction of Jinjiawan, and then a large amount of black smoke rose from the village, the regiment leader suddenly became anxious and shouted with a worried face: "No..."
"The little devil has already started massacring the village..."
"Are we still late?"
"Everyone speed up and run for me. I must block this Japanese army in Jinjiawan, otherwise other villages will be massacred..."
"quick……"
"Load the bullets, deploy the troops into battle formation, and kill any kid you see... I don't want any prisoners..."
"This gang of beasts has killed so many of our people, they must be wiped out tooth for tooth..."
"Dong dong dong..."
When we were still two kilometers away from Jinjiawan, a burst of heavy machine gun fire suddenly sounded at the front of the team. Several soldiers were caught off guard and were instantly beaten into pieces.
Facing the Japs' heavy machine guns blocking the road, the troops had to stop.
Only by preserving oneself can it be possible to destroy the enemy and avenge the tragic deaths of the people.
There are heavy machine guns deployed by the Japanese blocking the road ahead, and no one knows if there are other plots and traps arranged by the Japanese.
If he didn't understand the situation clearly and led his troops with eyes closed to rush into the pocket formation prepared by the Japanese, not only would he not be able to save the people, nor would he be able to eliminate more than 200 beasts, but he might also bury the 600 to 700 men around him here, then
It's just too much of a loss.
After a quick glance around, he determined that this place was not suitable for an ambush and there seemed to be no Japanese ambush around. He immediately ordered: "Bring up the mortars and kill the Japanese heavy machine gun fire points..."
"Let's rush through the Japanese interception position quickly and continue to reinforce Jinjiawan. We must not let these beasts slip away from under our noses..."
"Go faster and let the mortar company fire immediately... You don't have to save shells for me."
"If one or two cannons are not accurate, I will fire a salvo of nine mortars. If a blind cat kills a mouse, it can also destroy the Japanese heavy machine gun firepower point..."
