The political commissar Huang Yuanqiang of the New Regiment Headquarters was not in a good mood at all.
In several days of fighting with the Japanese army, there were wins and losses for each other.
The New Regiment killed nearly a Japanese brigade at the cost of two battalions.
In terms of casualty ratio, this can definitely be called a victory. But Huang Yuanqiang doesn't see it that way.
He was fighting guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare that he was good at, and he was fighting in a base area. To achieve such a result could definitely be called a shame!
His opponent, Lieutenant General Fujino, was also in a very bad mood.
No one knows the true strength of the new regiment, but a preliminary estimate is that it must have 15,000 people.
Now the casualty ratio between the imperial army and them has reached one to one, and Fujino cannot accept this result no matter what.
In this attack, I only brought more than 8,000 and less than 9,000 men. Excluding losses, I now have less than 8,000 men.
If we continue to fight according to this casualty ratio, all the imperial troops will be killed before we can kill the eight or nine thousand Eighth Route Army!
By then, the Imperial Army will be gone, and the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army will still have half its strength. At the rate at which the Eighth Route Army is developing its troops, it will not take long to regain its strength. But after the Imperial Army has lost so many troops, it will be very difficult to restore its strength.
!
One would trade off the other, even a fool would be able to calculate such a simple battle, let alone the battle-hardened Fujino.
Both of them were thinking about what better way to reduce their own casualties and increase the enemy's casualties.
"Political commissar, good news... Good news, good news from the regiment leader has arrived!"
Suddenly, the excited voice of the combat staff sounded outside the door, and then he saw the combat staff rushing in with an excited face, holding a telegraph newspaper in his hand!
"Could it be?" Huang Yuanqiang's face couldn't help but reveal a hint of excitement.
Before he could speak, the excited combat staff interrupted: "Political Commissar, the regimental leader asked us to keep it secret for the time being!"
"Confidential?" Although the political commissar didn't know why, he quickly accepted the telegram.
Soon, the political commissar's face was once again enveloped in surprise: "It's so surprising. The leader did it in just a few hours. This is simply a miracle!"
After saying that, the political commissar began to issue orders: "Inform Yan Song, Rong Jun, and Zhou Ze of the Armored Assault Battalion immediately. No matter what they are doing, stop them all and rush to the headquarters quickly for a meeting!"
Along the blockade of the Japanese and puppet troops, Fangting Town was a very large town. Next to it was a very important road that separated the base area of the New Regiment and the Japanese-occupied area.
In order to defend this place, the Japanese army built a large number of fortifications and strongholds here.
Over the past few years, these fortifications and gun towers have been slowly connected to form an indestructible fortress.
A regiment of the Imperial Army and a reinforced Japanese squadron are stationed here.
If the new regiment launches a forceful attack and faces numerous turrets and reinforced concrete machine gun bunkers, even if they deploy ordinary mountain artillery, they will have to pay a very heavy price to capture this place.
At eight o'clock in the evening, in the room where the commander of the first battalion of the Imperial Association Army was staying, a total of four company and platoon commanders gathered here, waiting for news!
"Battal Commander, it's done. I just went to the Second Battalion in the name of borrowing something, but I ran into several rooms without waking anyone up. The medicine we put in tonight's meal must have taken effect!"
"Okay, comrades, after holding back for so long, the opportunity has come to take off the Ergouzi military uniform and put on the Eighth Route Army uniform again..."
"Order: First company commander, take your people to the second battalion. First kill the little Japs in the second battalion, then collect all the weapons of the second battalion. Leave a platoon to guard them, and then take the equipment of the second battalion.
Bring all the light machine guns, pistols, and ammunition here!"
"The second company goes to the third battalion, the third company goes to the heavy machine gun company, and the reinforced guard platoon goes to the artillery company. The mission is the same!"
"Yes, battalion commander!" the four company platoon commanders replied with excitement.
Although the little devils placed among the Imperial Alliance Army ate alone, the food was prepared for them by the cooking squads of each company, and they were also drugged one after another.
Therefore, the whole operation went very smoothly. In less than an hour, the four company platoon commanders came back with excitement.
"Battal Commander, the operation went very smoothly. We brought back four light machine guns and eight pistols, including four Mauser pistols..." the first company commander replied.
The second company commander then replied: "I brought back seven machine guns. The third battalion stays with the regiment headquarters, and the regiment headquarters is also equipped with three machine guns!"
"There are 21 pistols, most of which were seized at the regiment headquarters, and there are 12 twenty-shot Mauser pistols!"
After several company commanders finished their reports, the deputy battalion commander next to him also completed the statistics, and then reported: "Batalion Commander, including our own, there are a total of fifteen light machine guns and 26 Mauser pistols. In terms of ammunition,
Because the ammunition depot was not taken down, each machine gun only had an average of 100 rounds of ammunition. However, pistol ammunition was still sufficient, because the pistols were all equipped in the hands of officers, and each officer had more or less some inventory, and each pistol could
An average of one hundred and fifty rounds of ammunition!"
"That's almost enough!" the battalion commander affirmed with excitement on his face.
Then he ordered: "In order to prevent accidents, the raids on the ammunition depot and the Japanese garrison must be carried out simultaneously!"
"There are only a dozen little devils guarding the ammunition depot. The guards line up and bring three pistols to kill them!"
"Others are following me to raid the Japs' camp. It's time to start the operation on time in the early morning..."
The Japanese garrison was very strong because of the stronghold it defended, and there were puppet troops guarding the front. The more than two hundred little devils were particularly arrogant.
Only two soldiers were left on duty at the door. The others were all fast asleep in the barracks. They showed no vigilance at all and were very arrogant.
The battalion commander, who came from the direct team, walked to the gate of the station alone with only five veterans he carefully selected.
The two little devils subconsciously held their rifles in their hands and pointed them at the battalion commander.
Despite this, the two little devils were still not vigilant. After all, this is where the imperial army is stationed, and there are still a large number of puppet troops guarding outside, so it is impossible for enemies to appear!
Seeing that the commander of the first battalion of the Imperial Association Army, whom they were familiar with, was approaching, the two Japanese soldiers relaxed even more.
The battalion commander hurried over and said in his own sloppy Japanese: "Hello, Taijun. I'm here to see your squadron leader. I have an important report that concerns our regiment leader. Please be accommodating to me, Taijun!"
While he was talking, two small yellow croakers appeared in the hands of the battalion commander!
Two ordinary little devils may not be able to earn so much money in a year or two.
Seeing the little yellow croakers, the two Japs showed very greedy expressions on their faces, and then they came over and wanted to divide the two little yellow croakers.
At this moment, several veterans following the battalion commander moved.
He quietly reached behind the two unsuspecting Japanese and took action quickly.
In the blink of an eye, two bayonets were inserted into the chests of the two little Japs. The sharp points of the knives passed directly through the chests, stabbing them through!
After taking care of the two sentries, the troops can enter the camp quietly, catching the Japanese by surprise.
Seeing the two little devils collapsed on the ground, the battalion commander couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and then ordered with excitement.
"Just in case, you two continue to guard the door. The others will follow me in. One squad is responsible for one barracks. After hearing my gunshots, launch a surprise attack together and kill them with bullets and grenades. The faster the better.
