"Hurry up and move around, everyone, run away, the Japanese plane is coming towards us!" Tan Lin was so anxious that he almost cried. He rushed out of the headquarters and ran outside, shouting as he ran.
The Japanese action team has already released the smoke that guides the bombing of the aircraft. The battalion headquarters will most likely be blown into rubble, and he will not be spared just because he is the battalion commander.
"Run... everyone spread out and hide... run as far as you can, faster!" the company platoon leader scattered in the team shouted loudly, and while running, he arranged for his men to move in different directions...
"Weng buzz..."
The roar of the plane became louder and louder, almost whizzing past the battalion headquarters.
A plane circled half a circle in the air and then dived down to the ground...
"Woooooooooooo...boom..."
An aerial bomb broke free from the restraints of the fighter plane and fell straight to the ground.
The moment it landed, a fireball mixed with billowing smoke immediately rose from the ground, rose into the sky twenty or thirty meters high before spreading around, forming a huge mushroom cloud...
A large crater three to four meters deep had been blasted out of the impact point. Centered on the impact point, all soldiers within a radius of 20 meters were missing.
Or it will be blown into pieces and disappear into smoke.
Or be blown away and hit ten or twenty meters away...
Half an hour later, Baipogou received the bad news that the fifth battalion had been bombed.
Li Wensheng walked up to Kong Jie with a stern face, lowered his head, and reported solemnly: "Captain, something happened to the fifth battalion!"
"Their battalion headquarters was bombed by three Japanese planes in turn. Battalion Commander Tan Lin was injured, but his work will not be affected for the time being!"
"The instructor died, the deputy battalion commander, the deputy instructor, two died and two were injured. Four company-level cadres and five deputy company-level cadres were also sacrificed!"
"A total of 199 cadres and soldiers below the platoon died, and 42 were seriously injured..."
"The granary located at their battalion headquarters was also bombed during the bombing... Only 50,000 jins of 220,000 jins of grain were looted, and all other grains were reduced to ashes!"
"An action team of the Little Japs approached their battalion headquarters. After the three planes arrived at the battlefield, they used smoke flares to surround the bombing target and guided the planes to drop bombs on the ground!"
"The battalion headquarters is right next to the village, and the bombing also caused a lot of damage to the village... 46 fellow villagers were killed and 13 were seriously injured..."
Kong Jie was so angry that he could no longer curse. He clenched his fists, his face was red, even his eyes were red, and he was breathing heavily...
It took a while before he calmed down: "Blood debts must be repaid with blood!"
"Inform Xiao Huang about this immediately, he will know what to do!"
"I will issue the previous orders to prepare for air strikes and expand the warning range again. At the same time, I will inform them of the tragedy of the fifth battalion, so that all battalion and company commanders will pay attention to me."
At the Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan, looking at the battle report hurriedly sent by his subordinates, the chief of staff had a very complicated expression, including happiness, worry, and helplessness...
Shinozuka Yoshio was keenly aware of the strange look on his deputy's face and asked directly: "Did something happen to the action team that sneaked into the Independence Regiment's base?"
"Ha Yi!" the chief of staff said bluntly, not daring to hide the bad news!
"Seven action teams have lost contact..."
"After investigation, we learned that they were all exposed because they underestimated the enemy, and were then eliminated by the Eighth Route Army!"
"I thought that wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army would allow me to travel unimpeded in the base area of the Independence Regiment! Little did I know that the Independence Regiment had laid a trap for them!"
"Order the troops who are outside to return to the army immediately. They can only move around in company units!"
"Our action team only had one platoon. It was operating in the independent regiment base area in broad daylight. As soon as it appeared, its identity was exposed and it was completely wiped out by the nearby Eighth Route Army!"
"Bagya Road is a bunch of stupid pigs..." Yoshio Shinozuka cursed unceremoniously.
"Before they set off, I reminded them again and again that they must not underestimate the enemy or be careless... but they still fell into the trap of underestimating the enemy and even lost their lives!"
Seeing Yoshio Shinozuka getting angrier as he scolded him, the chief of staff quickly comforted him: "Commander, please calm down!"
"Not all action teams make the mistake of underestimating the enemy!"
"The remaining four action teams were very vigilant and only used the Eighth Route Army uniforms as a cover and did not rely too much on him!"
"As soon as the sneak attack is over, find a place to hide and take action after dark!"
"But because the independent regiment has stepped up their vigilance, in order to avoid exposing their targets and not being wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, they can only do the next best thing and change the target of the raid!"
"Three action teams raided six villages in the independent regiment's base area overnight, annihilating a large number of local troops and causing panic among the people and turmoil in the military's morale in their base area!"
"There was also an action team that led the aviation force to successfully bomb a battalion headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. It not only eliminated more than 200 Eighth Route Army troops, but also destroyed a grain depot. The result was no less than a sneak attack on two or three company-level headquarters!"
"The intelligence department reported that the independent regiment was in chaos. Thousands of main troops, local troops, and guerrillas were mobilized to search for our action team everywhere!"
"The action team wears Eighth Route Army uniforms and can speak Chinese, so they will definitely not be caught so easily!"
"If we continue to send action teams to infiltrate the base areas of the Independent Regiment, we will definitely further increase the chaos in their base areas and consume all their war potential in the encirclement and suppression of the capture action teams!"
Yoshio Shinozuka looked much better. He looked at the chief of staff and said seriously: "There is a saying in China: Eat a pit and gain wisdom!"
"Remind those newly formed action teams again: the Eighth Route Army uniforms they wear are just a disguise and cannot really hide their true identity!"
"After infiltrating into the independent regiment's base area, you must be cautious!"
"We need to send more scouts to find out in advance the independent regiment's action plan against them. When the enemy changes, we change, and constantly change our own combat plan. Only in this way can we survive the heavy encirclement and suppression by the Eighth Route Army!"
Huangshakou is the only way for the deputy commander-in-chief to enter the independent regiment base area.
As soon as it got dark, a platoon of scouts appeared here. After spending an hour searching the place to make sure that there were no Japanese and puppet army scouts, the guard camp appeared.
Take the platoon as a unit and quickly establish a defense line around it.
Two hours later, Kong Jie and Li Wensheng appeared at Huangshakou. They stood at the commanding heights, raised their binoculars, and stared at the mountain pass seriously.
Half an hour later, several figures suddenly appeared at the mountain pass. Duan Yong, the guard battalion commander, ran towards him at the same time and began to report from a distance: "Regiment commander, chief of staff... the commander is here!"
"Let's meet him!" Kong Jie was both nervous and looking forward to the order.
He hadn't seen the deputy commander-in-chief for a long time. When he went to see him unexpectedly, he felt like he was facing an exam. If he said he wasn't nervous, he would be lying.
"Will he be happy if we welcome the leader in such a large formation?" Li Wensheng glanced at the surrounding security troops and reminded him with a worried look on his face.
"It's no wonder we have to do this..." Kong Jie said helplessly!
"We can't let the leader be in danger in our base area... Then our independent regiment will be the sinner of the entire Eighth Route Army!"
