When Gao Hongming came to the battlefield surrounded by Dabao and more than a dozen soldiers from the guard camp, he saw many soldiers from the independent regiment happily registering the captured trophies.
"Hahaha……"
Before anyone arrived, I heard Li Yunlong's voice coming over.
"Brother Gao, this battle was really enjoyable."
As soon as the words fell, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang walked over hand in hand. Next to them was Kong Jie, who was holding a big knife. The faces of the three of them showed unconcealable joy.
Seeing the three of them, Gao Hongming smiled and said, "Guys, what you just gained was good, right?"
"More than good, this harvest can be said to be unexpected." Zhao Gang said with a smile: "We just did a little statistics. This time we seized 335 Type 38 rifles and Type 92 heavy machine guns.
One, six Year 11 light machine guns, and more than 20,000 rounds of ammunition, which is almost an extra battalion of equipment."
Hearing that Zhao Gang actually reported the number of seizures truthfully, Li Yunlong, who had long regarded these seizures as his own, felt anxious, but he couldn't show it on the surface.
Kong Jie also smiled and said: "Captain Gao, it's really thanks to you this time, otherwise this battle wouldn't have been so enjoyable."
"It's good if you get something." Gao Hongming nodded and said, "These seizures should be regarded as rewards for your hard work this time. Commander Li, Political Commissar Zhao, and Commander Kong, are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied... I'm so satisfied." Kong Jie nodded repeatedly. For him, an honest man, he could get a battalion's equipment in one trip, and the price paid by the troops was minimal. This business was a great deal.
, if he could come here every once in a while, he would laugh in his dreams.
Only Zhao Gang felt a slight movement in his heart, and he was keenly aware that Captain Gao on the opposite side seemed to be expressing his dissatisfaction in such a subtle way.
He smiled and said: "Commander Gao, although we have eliminated this Japanese army, there is still a lone Japanese army in the city. When do you plan to eat it?"
Gao Hongming did not answer, but asked: "I wonder what Political Commissar Zhao has to say?"
"I don't dare to take it seriously. My personal opinion is that the Japanese will definitely send reinforcements again. Although we annihilated a Japanese brigade this time, it can only be said that it was due to surprise. The Japanese will send reinforcements next time.
If you come, there won't be that few people.
So I think we should give it up as soon as possible and seize the time to eliminate the Japanese troops in Ping'an County. It is only right to leave the enemy safe. What do you think?"
"I don't think so."
As soon as military matters were mentioned, Li Yunlong, who looked like a money-mad man just now, suddenly became energetic, but he was opposed to it.
"Only two or three hundred of the Japs in Ping'an County were killed, and it would only take two or three hours to destroy them with our strength.
It can be said that these Japs are meat on our chopping board, and we can eat them whenever we want. Our main goal is not just to lone troops in the city, but to encircle and reinforce them, and to eliminate as many of the Japs' active forces as possible, and this is what we
What do you think is the main purpose?"
Kong Jie thought for a while and nodded: "What Lao Li said makes sense, but the problem now is that the Japanese must have known about the annihilation of this brigade. With the Japanese's urine, the next time they come will definitely be
It’s a large force, I estimate it must be at least a regiment or above, or even more, so I think it’s better to contact my superiors and see the trends of the Japanese army before making a decision.”
Li Yunlong said helplessly: "Lao Kong, our group doesn't have a radio station. This back-and-forth contact has been delayed for an unknown amount of time. When the news from the headquarters comes back, the day lilies are already cold."
"It doesn't matter." Gao Hongming said, "I can temporarily lend you a radio station. You can use it to contact the head of your headquarters."
"That's great." Li Yunlong and the three of them all smiled when they heard this. It would be much more convenient to have a radio.
Zhao Gang immediately said: "I will contact the headquarters immediately to hear any instructions from the headquarters."
After saying that, Zhao Gangxing left in a hurry.
When Gao Hongming saw this, he quickly winked at Dabao, who quickly followed him. How could Zhao Gang approach the call center without his own order...
"Bagaya road!"
A roar sounded in Yoshio Shinozuka's office.
"Incompetent...waste...an entire brigade was wiped out by the Chinese in less than half a day. The commander of that brigade should have his belly disemboweled!"
"Your Excellency, Commander, the captain of the second brigade has died in the battle." Kazuki Yamamoto, standing aside with his hands hanging down, said quietly.
"snort!"
Yoshio Shinozuka snorted, gasped and stopped talking.
He never thought that as the commander of the First Army with more than 100,000 troops, he would feel helpless because of a small county town.
The battle in Ping'an County has been going on for so long, and anyone can see that the audacious militia leader is using Ping'an County as bait to lure the Japanese troops to recruit more troops, while he is just waiting for work and calmly eats up the reinforcements.
.
The Chinese call this tactic encirclement and reinforcements.
Logically speaking, it is very simple to deal with this tactic, that is to order the besieged troops to defend to the death, and then send out large forces to counter the siege.
But the problem now is that in Shanxi now, all forces are in a delicate balance. It is not an exaggeration to say that one hair can affect the whole body.
Gao Hongming's militia seems to have only a few thousand people, but its combat effectiveness cannot be calculated by using the ordinary Central Army, Shanxi-Sui Army or the Eighth Route Army.
Unlike the Chinese army, which lacks clothing and ammunition, this army's style of play is more like that of a reckless man who can only use brute force. There is no strategy or tactics at all, and he just relies on superior equipment to fight head-on with his opponents.
Just like a boxer in a boxing ring, you punch me and I'll punch you to see who falls first.
Moreover, Gao Hongming is a person who is determined to retaliate. He only targeted him twice, and his revenge came immediately.
Yoshio Shinozuka has been in the military for decades, and this is the first time he has seen such an unruly opponent.
"Baga, you are such an unruly warrior."
Shinozuka Yoshio rubbed his somewhat swollen temples, turned to Yamamoto Kazuki and said, "Go and invite Okabe-kun."
"Hi!"
Soon, Chief of Staff Naosaburo Okabe walked in.
"Sit down, Okabe-kun."
Shinozuka Yoshio went directly to the topic, "Okabe-kun, the matter in Ping'an County can no longer be delayed. I plan to dispatch the 41st Division to Ping'an County to completely eliminate this Chinese force that dares to challenge the Empire of Japan.
What do you think?"
"Deploying the 41st Division?"
Naosaburo Okabe frowned and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, if the 41st Division is transferred away, we will have no usable strategic reserve."
