Chen Hu suddenly realized that he had just made a big mistake.
The surprise of successfully entering the stronghold and direct orders went to his head, and he forgot about the cover that the regiment leader kept asking and reminding him of.
In order to eliminate the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold as soon as possible, he assigned all six special shooters in the platoon to the commando team. As for the so-called cover, he never thought about it.
The two arrows that suddenly appeared just now must be the result of the regiment leader discovering his mistake and temporarily drawing out two special archers to keep an eye on the battlefield and kill any Japanese who might suddenly appear in the barracks at any time.
There is no doubt that this arrangement works.
If the two special shooters hadn't shot the Japanese who suddenly appeared immediately, the remaining Japanese in the stronghold would have been alert, and the sneak attack would have turned into an encounter. The sudden sound of gunfire from the stronghold would have also caused the surrounding area to tremble.
Focus on the enemy's attention.
A large amount of cold sweat immediately broke out on Chen Hu's forehead. Fortunately, when the group leader helped him make up for this fatal mistake, Chen Hu did not forget his mission.
Looking at his subordinates who were also in a daze around him, he immediately ordered: "Continue to act and kill all the remaining Japanese!"
This time, there were no accidents on the battlefield.
In less than five minutes, the remaining Japanese in the two barracks were completely slaughtered.
As for the Imperial Alliance Army, they put away their weapons and faced the dark muzzles of the Eighth Route Army's guns pointed at them. They didn't even think about resisting. Without saying a word, they surrendered directly.
"Captain, I just made a mistake, please punish me!" After the battle, Chen Hu obediently walked to Wang Ping and said with his head lowered.
"The platoon leader will be demoted to deputy platoon leader, and he will temporarily act as the platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon!" Wang Ping decided directly without mercy.
Because he knew that he had to teach him a lesson. Otherwise, Chen Hu would probably make the same mistake again.
"Thank you, Commander, I promise not to make the same mistake again in the future!" Although his level has been reduced by half a level, he is still the acting platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon. Chen Hu is confident that as long as he is still the platoon leader, it won't take long for him to be able to
Relying on military exploits, the word "agent" has been removed.
Therefore, Chen Hu was not only not unhappy, but also full of confidence.
Wang Ping was very satisfied with Chen Hu's current reaction, and the serious expression on his face relaxed a lot at this time. Then he analyzed to him.
"Although you made a mistake, overall, you commanded well and I am very satisfied. After all, this is your first time commanding a battle!"
"I will provide you with more training opportunities like this in the future, so that you can familiarize yourself with what special operations are and how to direct special operations as soon as possible! Alright, order your comrades to clean the battlefield and prepare to retreat!"
Compared with attacking, retreat is much smoother.
The reconnaissance platoon was wearing the Japs uniforms they had just captured, and the Imperial Army prisoners were still wearing their own military uniforms, carrying rifles on their backs, driving carts, and marching in the direction of Laiyuan.
All the Japanese and puppet checkpoints encountered along the way were easily solved by the reconnaissance platoon.
Because the Japanese and puppet troops guarding these checkpoints never imagined that a group of imperial troops from within could actually be their enemies.
Without any preparation, the reconnaissance platoon dressed in Japanese military uniforms suddenly took action, and the results were predictable.
Many people's necks were wiped by the reconnaissance platoon while their guns were still on their backs. Even if they had a chance to get a gun, they had no chance to shoot.
Because, as soon as the battle started, six special archers stood with their bows and arrows ready, staring at them. As long as someone held a gun, an arrow would pierce his neck, killing him instantly.
The air raid on the retreat made Wang Ping realize the powerlessness of the Eighth Route Army in the face of Japanese planes, and at the same time he also realized the huge threat faced by the independent regiment's garrison.
You know, at that time, the independent regiments were all stationed together, and thousands of people gathered together, even if they were hidden in the forest, there were trees for cover. As long as the Japanese were willing to spend money, they would dispatch more than a dozen bombers at a time to carry out coverage bombing of the forest.
Even if the independent group does not die, it will shed a layer of skin.
Therefore, as soon as the troops retreated to their bases, Wang Ping and Cheng Xiao made the decision to disperse the troops for training.
The entire regiment was stationed in company units for training. Except for some new recruits who continued to stay at the old station, all other troops were dispersed deeper into the woods.
The independent regiment headquarters, as the core of the entire independent regiment, has no doubt about its safety.
As a result, the entire regiment, including the security company, moved directly to a nearby cave.
Even if the Japanese find the headquarters of the Independent Regiment and send out bombers for bombing, they will not be able to move the headquarters of the Independent Regiment at all.
Because the Independent Regiment seized three generators and a lot of gasoline from the Japanese stronghold, there was no problem with lighting at the regiment headquarters.
The first thing political commissar Cheng Xiao did when he arrived at the regiment headquarters early in the morning was to ask the communications platoon if there was any news about regiment leader Wang Ping.
"I received news at three o'clock last night that the reconnaissance platoon has captured the Japanese stronghold and is on its way back to the base. As expected, we should be able to return to the base at noon today!" the operator on duty immediately replied.
"That's good!" Cheng Xiao couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Wang Ping insisted on following the investigation platoon, but Cheng Xiao firmly opposed it.
But he couldn't stand Wang Ping's determination, so in the end he had no choice but to agree.
But I agree. From the moment Wang Ping left the station, Cheng Xiao's heart was in his throat, and he was deeply afraid that Wang Ping would have an accident on the road.
Now that he heard that Wang Ping was on his way back, Cheng Xiao could finally let go of his tense heart and have a good sleep.
At this moment, Deng Hongtao, director of the Political Department, suddenly barged in with an anxious look on his face.
"Political Commissar, something happened!"
"The military division just sent a top-secret telegram, which I personally translated. One of our intelligence agents in Laiyuan City was captured by the Japanese. This intelligence agent is of a very high level and knows many of our secrets and action plans."
"Do you know if he has betrayed the organization?" Cheng Xiao asked nervously with his heart in his throat again.
A senior intelligence officer who has direct contact with the military division said he probably knows more secrets than a political commissar himself.
Apart from anything else, he must know the military division's plan to capture Laiyuan City.
If this intelligence agent betrays the organization, it means that all the efforts of the military region some time ago will be wasted. If it goes wrong, the Japanese may prepare a trap for the military region in Laiyuan City for several main groups to exploit.
Thinking of this, Cheng Xiao couldn't help but start sweating on his forehead.
"Probably not yet. According to the intelligence, the Japanese did not know that he was the head of our intelligence agency in Laiyuan City when they captured him. They just regarded him as an ordinary intelligence agent. In addition, if he really betrayed and stopped us, we would
The intelligence network in Yuancheng must have been taken over by the Japanese!" Deng Hongtao replied with a calm face.
Immediately afterwards, the topic changed and he continued his analysis: "Of course, we can't be completely sure. After all, the devils may know our secrets and plans and then play a long game to catch the big fish, deliberately not destroying our intelligence network!"
