Xiao Yuanchang, the instructor of the Second Battalion, looked over after hearing the news, his fiery eyes never leaving the crooked handle in Huang Yu's hand.
The 1st and 3rd Battalions have already retreated. Once this crooked weapon is handed over to the regiment headquarters, the 2nd Battalion will definitely be the first to get the most advantageous equipment, and will be most likely to equip it.
Huang Yu didn't want to be worried about Xiao Yuanchang, so he quickly sent the crooked piece of information to Kong Jie: "Captain, this crooked piece of information was originally going to be handed over to the regiment headquarters."
"I'm a guard. I can't stand guard with a crooked handle. I just have a big 38-inch cover!"
Then he took out the armed belt on the other hand: "This is the armed belt cut from the body of the Japanese ammunition hand."
"Two ammunition handlers. Each ammunition handler is equipped with four bullet boxes and 180 rounds of machine gun ammunition, a total of 360 rounds. One bullet box has been used up a lot, and there are about 340 rounds left, which should be enough.
Use it for a while!”
Kong Jie looked at Huang Yu with more and more satisfaction. Before he could answer the question, he heard Xiao Yuanchang saying expectantly: "Captain, there are only more than a hundred people left in the second battalion, and the strength is the smallest among the three main battalions.
, you must make up for this crooked thing, otherwise it will be too unfair!"
Huang Yu thought that the group leader would definitely agree to Xiao Yuanchang's proposal, but he actually refused.
"no!"
"The first and second battalions have two machine guns left, and the third battalion only has one machine gun left. This crooked machine gun must be supplemented by the third battalion!"
"I am the leader, and a bowl of water must be leveled."
"As for the troops you lost, when the counter-mopping up is over and the troops recruit new troops, I will give priority to replenishing the second battalion. It has nothing to do with this crooked allocation!"
"Considering that the Third Battalion is not here and the battle is fierce, I will temporarily lend you this crooked weapon to save bullets, and then return it to the Third Battalion when the troops gather together!"
At the headquarters of the Japanese Army's Sakata Regiment, Colonel Sakata looked very heavy and held up his binoculars to observe the mountain ridge in front of him that had blocked him for four hours.
He really couldn't understand how the Eighth Route Army could block Bantian's fierce attack for four consecutive hours.
If this were a frontal battlefield, even if the opponent had a main division, they would still be defeated.
Judging from the sound of gunfire and the strength of each counterattack, there is at most only one regiment of the Eighth Route Army on the mountain ridge. The equipment is very poor, ammunition is scarce, and there is not even a heavy machine gun that can be taken out. Otherwise, they would not have been able to do it once.
Another counterattack was launched, fighting hand to hand, and the attacking troops were driven back through attrition.
The more Colonel Sakata watched, the more annoyed he became. He put down his telescope and slammed his fist on the table in front of him. In his anger, he ordered with reluctance: "Even if the Eighth Route Army on Bagya Road and the mountain ridge are made of iron, I will blast them with cannons."
Cheng Zha, order the First Brigade to continue launching a new round of attack!"
"In this attack, even if we fight hand to hand with the Eighth Route Army with bayonets and exchange lives for lives, I will still take down the mountain ridge!"
"Sir, it's been found out!" the wing's chief of staff suddenly ran over from outside to report.
"Reconnaissance force report: What we encountered was the headquarters of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, the logistics organization and their independent regiments."
"The one who blocked us on the mountain ridge was an independent regiment, covering the transfer of the 386th Brigade headquarters and the logistics organization. The total strength was about a thousand people. They were not equipped with heavy weapons. They had less than ten light machine guns and a serious shortage of ammunition, with less than fifteen rounds per person.
bullet!"
"After continuous bloody battles, the Eighth Route Army left more than 500 corpses on the battlefield. After deducting the lightly and seriously wounded who have lost their combat effectiveness, there are still at most 300 combat-ready soldiers."
"The ammunition has also been exhausted in the previous battle. If we send two more squadrons to attack, we will definitely be able to kill them all. We will continue to hunt down the 386th Brigade Headquarters and the logistics organization across the mountain ridge!"
"Yoshi!" The angry Bantian team suddenly became fanatical.
He had heard of the reputation of the 386th Brigade more than once on the frontal battlefield, and had long wanted to fight with this unit, so that the bureaucrats at the military headquarters could see the powerful combat effectiveness of the Bantian Brigade: the three forces that other garrisons in Shanxi could not do anything about.
The 86th Brigade and Sakata Alliance can be easily defeated.
I didn't expect that I was so lucky. As soon as I was transferred to the rear to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army, I ran into the 386th Brigade.
The independent regiment relied on the mountain ridge to block them for more than four hours. No matter how slow the 386th brigade headquarters and logistics organization were, they were moved to 20 or 30 kilometers away.
If he didn't defeat the independent group quickly and pursue them along their retreat route, the big fish he finally caught would definitely run further and further away, and finally slip away from under his nose.
Colonel Sakata would never allow this to happen, and immediately ordered: "The First Brigade will attack now, destroy the independent regiment at all costs, and hunt down the 386th Brigade Headquarters and their logistics organization."
"This is the first battle between Bantian United and the Eighth Route Army. We can only win but not lose!"
"Hayi..."
On the top of the mountain ridge, as soon as the Japanese artillery fire stopped, the soldiers hiding in the craters began to retreat.
The artillery fire just now caused a lot of casualties to the troops. There were five or six more wounded, and they were carried out of the crater by their comrades.
A look of solemnity flashed across Xiao Yuanchang's and Kong Jie's faces at the same time.
The more wounded there are, the slower the troops march and the easier it is for the Japanese to catch up, which means that the subsequent retreat will be more difficult than imagined.
However, in order not to affect the morale of the troops, the two men quickly hid the solemn expressions on their faces and continued to urge the troops to speed up their retreat.
Huang Yu saw it and followed Kong Jie to retreat while thinking about a solution, hoping to help the group leader.
At the Sakata Wing Headquarters, the Wing Chief of Staff suddenly shouted: "Sir, the attacking troops are on the mountain ridge!"
The Independent Regiment had fought so tenaciously just now, and it was impossible to be completely wiped out by a single blast of artillery fire. Now there was not even a single gunshot on the mountain ridge, and it was probably because they had retreated.
Colonel Sakata was very disappointed, but when he thought that there was a big fish like the 386th Brigade Headquarters ahead of him waiting for him to chase, he immediately regained his fighting spirit. Staring at the smoke-filled mountain ridge, he began to order: "Immediately find out the remnants of the Independence Regiment."
The latest situation, find out in which direction they retreated and escaped, and be quick!”
In less than five minutes, the captain who participated in the attack hurried over: "Sir, there are only more than a hundred people left in the independent regiment. We are taking the wounded and marching to the southeast of Cangyun Ridge to retreat!"
"Reconnaissance force report: The headquarters of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army and their logistics organization are also heading towards Cangyunling and will soon enter the mountains!"
A cooked duck will never fly.
After hearing the information, Colonel Sakata hurriedly ordered: "The troops will pursue immediately, march quickly to hunt down the Independent Regiment and the 386th Brigade Headquarters, and capture them at all costs!"
The total strength of the Sakata Regiment exceeds 4,000. The attack just now used only one infantry brigade, and the remaining two brigades and the troops directly under the Regiment have been recuperating in the rear.
As soon as the pursuit order was given, the three thousand little devils turned into a group of wild horses, marching rapidly along the road at a very fast speed.
The more than a hundred remnant soldiers commanded by Kong Jie had just experienced a few hours of bloody battles. Their physical strength was huge, and every soldier was very tired. They were still carrying the wounded while marching together. Their retreat speed would definitely not be faster than the enemy's pursuit speed!
In less than half an hour, the distance between the two sides shortened from two kilometers to less than one kilometer.
