After a short rest, the independent regiment retreated with the main force.
On the one hand, it was because the Yue Army had one division and three brigades outflanking Li Jiapo, and the Eighth Route Army could not stay where it was and wait for Baoxianzi to encircle it.
On the other hand, due to insufficient equipment, the Eighth Route Army's current strategic policy is to deal with the Japanese instead of fighting head-on.
In fact, it was not determined by the lack of Japanese troops.
At this time, Army Lieutenant General Tada Shun, who was the commander of the North China Dispatch Army, had always paid little attention to the Eighth Route Army, believing that the Eighth Route Army was not a "bandit armed force".
To deal with such "bandit armed forces", Shun Tada was in Shanxi and Hebei. The total force used to deal with the Eighth Route Army was two divisions and nine independent mixed brigades. The purpose was to ensure the smooth flow of transportation lines such as railways and highways. He thought that
Provide sufficient supplies for frontline operations.
To the east of that strategic target, the Moon Army forces during that period basically deployed along the transportation lines and occupied Chongqiu County and City, which was located at the transportation hub.
Tada Shun believed that the Yue Army only needed to occasionally concentrate its forces to carry out raids, which would be enough to eliminate the Eighth Route Army or limit its development.
But what he didn't expect was that the Eighth Route Army was not going to do what he thought and would engage in a decisive battle with him when he concentrated his forces to mop up the enemy.
When the Lunar Army concentrated its forces to fight, the other armies "divided into parts" and dispersed and retreated, so that the Lunar Army could not find the main force of the Eighth Route Army. They even took advantage of the empty space behind the Lunar Army to attack, and used small groups to bypass the main force of the Lunar Army for a sneak attack.
its transportation lines.
Once the Yuan army returned, the other armies "disintegrated into parts" and returned to form a force to confront the Yuan army. While confronting the Yuan army, they continued to grow and enrich themselves.
As an ally, Shun Tada never expected that during the years when he was the commander of the North China Condemnation Force, the "bandit armed forces" he looked down upon would grow into an army of hundreds of thousands right under his nose, and would become a force for him to stay behind.
A nail that makes sleeping and eating difficult.
But by then it was too late.
At this time, the independent regiment followed the strategic policy of "breaking into parts" and retreated to Zhaojiayu when the Japanese concentrated their forces in pursuit of a decisive battle.
Has the location been chosen in advance?
Zhaojiayu is located halfway up the mountain. There is only one road in the whole village, which winds into the village from the north, crosses Zhaojiayu and then leads to the back mountainous area. There are impassable cliffs all around.
It is not difficult to imagine that if the enemy wants to attack Zhaojiayu, they can attack from the mountain road at the entrance of the village.
Whether the Eighth Route Army stationed there can advance, attack, retreat or defend, they will attack if they can, and if they are defeated, they will retreat to the mountainous area of the back mountain.
Wang Xuexin was lying on the kang bored, turning over the so-called "military industry system" in his mind.
He became a little confused. After successfully saving the arsenal, the "Military Equipment" column was opened. There were also two pieces of equipment, the "Type 89 grenade" and the "Type 91 leg grenade", but they were not gray.
.
Obviously I have captured those two things, why can't I use them?
Shouldn't it be possible to purchase with military currency?
At this time, Wang Xuexin had also earned more than 300,000 military coins... Only when Captain Yamazaki was killed with one shot did Wang Xuexin know whether he had completed the mission or not. Killing the enemy would also earn military coins.
But there’s no way to spend that military coin!
You should just use the military coins to upgrade or something...otherwise the system is useless!
Just when he was wondering, Li Dachui came in from outside.
He stamped his feet, took out a pair of "thousand-layer bottoms" from his clothes and threw them over to the kang. He raised his head towards Wang Xuexin and said, "Oh my, the weather is getting cold, please change them as soon as possible!"
The so-called "thousand-layer sole" refers to the cloth shoes made by Kouji workers. Because the soles are made of layers of red cloth, they are stacked and made into robes, hence the name.
The little speaker who was cleaning his gun waited and saw that Li Dachui didn't continue heading east, so he asked strangely: "Squad leader, where is his?"
"What am I?" Li Dachui responded while walking in front of the Kang fire and rubbing his legs.
"Thousand-layer bottom?" Xiao Xiao stretched out his pitch-black feet, and hanging on them was a pair of ventilated and pitch-black straw sandals.
Li Dachui replied angrily: "Just wait! We have thousands of people in our group, and my fellow villagers can't wait to accept them!"
The little speaker looked at Wang Xuexin and didn't shut up.
The old gentleman secretly played the trumpet and whispered: "Wouldn't it be the same if we just stayed in front of the Kang fire?"
Wang Xuexin felt a little embarrassed. He stood up, picked up his cloth shoes and handed them to Li Dachui, saying, "Squad leader, don't you agree..."
"What, what, what?" Li Dachui pushed the cloth shoes back with one push, stood up and said, "He must be fair! Please tell me, Xiao Dongbei has made great contributions, and we have that big room to sleep on the hot kang? We can't pick up a bowl to eat.
If you put the meat on the chopsticks and scold your mother, Xiao Dongbei should wear the thousand-layer bottom first. I hope that if I have the ability, I can also fight against the Japanese and make meritorious service like Xiao Dongbei. No one will be jealous!"
What Li Dachui said was true. Usually, the enemy work units were only in cowsheds and thatched huts. It would be nice to have a place to protect them from the wind and rain, and don't even think about whether they would like to have a hot kang.
It will be different next year. Li Yunlong specially allocated a large room to the Enemy Industry Department, with a hot kang big enough for eight people to sleep in. He also provided a lot of firewood, and food was given priority to the Enemy Industry Department. The treatment was nothing to say.
The instructor nodded and said: "He agrees with Comrade Li Dachui's opinion. That does not mean that they are specializing, but Comrade Wang Xuexin has made a significant contribution to the army. From that point of view, it is not reasonable for Comrade Wang Xuexin to be allocated first. What's more,
Then there must be a sequence..."
"Instructor, squad leader, he is not greedy." Xiao Xiaoxiao replied aggrievedly: "He thought he was very good, so he just asked..."
"What's the matter?" Li Dachui replied angrily: "I wonder if he can hide it?"
The little speaker was so criticized that he lowered his head and almost burst into tears. This made Wang Xuexin very embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
At that time, I heard Li Yunlong shouting at the top of his voice outside the house: "Xiao Dongbei, Xiao Dongbei..."
"Yes!" Wang Xuexin rushed to get up and organize the equipment.
Before going out, he stuffed his cloth shoes into Xiao Xiaoxiao's arms and said, "He will warm up when he moves outside!"
That's not to say that Wang Xuexin was generous, but when Wang Xuexin was cleaning the battlefield in Lijiapo, he found a poncho from the Japanese, divided the thing into two pieces and put them in a bag for his feet, and then put them on the straw sandals, just like wearing leather shoes.
Keep warm.
I ran outside the house and saw that Li Yunlong was waiting outside with guards riding tall horses.
"On the horse!" Li Yunlong raised his head towards an empty horse.
"Captain..." Wang Xuexin looked at the horse that was a head taller than himself and replied awkwardly: "I can't ride a horse!"
Li Yunlong was stunned for a moment, and then said coaxingly with disdain in his eyes:
"I'm a grown man who can't ride a horse?"
"It's not difficult! It's like entering a bridal chamber, just put your legs aside and step forward!"
"Move quickly!"
Wang Xuexin had to try to climb up, and at the same time whispered: "It's like I have been in the bridal chamber!"
