A total of four Japs, including the squad leader, were instantly beaten into a hornet's nest.
As soon as the company commander's gunshot rang out, the dozens of surviving Imperial Army soldiers opened fire. Amidst the crackling gunfire, a dozen Japanese soldiers collapsed directly in the trench.
Many Japanese soldiers had expressions of disbelief on their faces until they died. They didn't understand why the Imperial Alliance Army, who dared not show off in front of them, dared to shoot them.
However, if you don't understand, you don't understand. No matter how unwilling these devils are, they will die.
"Raise the white flag and surrender to the Eighth Route Army outside. Don't be accidentally injured by them and lose your life in vain!" the company commander immediately ordered.
At the former enemy headquarters of the Independent Regiment, First Battalion Commander Zhang Qing rushed in very excitedly: "Regiment Commander, Political Commissar, the stronghold has been taken! At the critical moment, there are more than 50 Imperial Association Army soldiers left in the stronghold to revolt on the battlefield. After killing the remaining Japanese, we will directly
Surrender to us!"
This result was both expected and unexpected by Wang Ping.
He frowned and said with emotion: "These Imperial Alliance troops are quite smart. They can clearly see the situation on the battlefield at a glance and know how to make the right decision to save their lives!"
After finishing, he ordered: "Immediately command the troops to clean the battlefield, and then take out a platoon to return the captured and prisoners to the station. The others are on standby to replenish their physical strength!"
After taking down the Japanese and puppet stronghold in front of them, plus the possible results of the other three reinforcements, the independent regiment wiped out nearly 800 Japanese and puppet troops in just half a night.
Although most of them were from the Imperial Alliance Army, political commissar Cheng Xiao was still very satisfied.
I originally thought that Wang Ping was also very satisfied with the result, and then took advantage of the darkness to withdraw his troops and return to the base. However, he did not expect that he had no intention of retreating at all.
"Captain, there will be action soon!"
Wang Ping nodded and replied: "Surrounding the area and calling for reinforcements is the best way for us to break the enemy's hold on the common people. It's not yet twelve o'clock in the evening. I plan to fight again before the enemy reacts and eliminate more enemy. Otherwise tomorrow, tomorrow
Once the light is on, the Japanese will know our methods and take precautions."
"Then let's fight them again!" Political commissar Cheng Xiao also knew that the opportunity was rare and quickly expressed his support for Wang Ping.
At the Japanese Army transfer station in the Aogo Valley, Colonel Kato didn't rest all night.
Although the transfer station was not attacked, the gunshots that kept ringing around the transfer station were like thunder, constantly waking him up from his sleep.
Fortunately, he didn't hear the explosion of field artillery shells amidst the gunfire all night, which made Kato Colonel feel relieved a lot after being tense all night.
Colonel Kato was confident that as long as the Eighth Route Army did not use artillery, with the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army and the Imperial Associated Army, there would be no problem in relying on fortifications to defend their strongholds!
After dawn, as soon as the two planes booked last night arrived over the transfer station, Colonel Kato hurriedly called for the chief of staff and asked: "Immediately contact the garrison outside the transfer station. How many Eighth Route Army troops were wiped out in each stronghold last night? How many losses did you have?"
how many people."
The chief of staff immediately replied: "We didn't hear much artillery fire in the battle last night. Our plan to take the people to the stronghold as hostages must have been successful. Without artillery support and relying heavily on light weapons, the Eighth Route Army will certainly not be able to do anything to our stronghold."
"I will contact each stronghold immediately to make statistics on the results and losses."
An hour later, shortly after Kato had finished breakfast, the chief of staff returned to Kato's room.
The smiles and expectations I had when I left were all gone now, and my face looked solemn.
Colonel Kato's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he had a very bad premonition.
Sure enough, as soon as the chief of staff spoke, Colonel Kato's good mood disappeared.
"Sir, we were defeated again last night!"
"Nani? How is it possible? How could the Eighth Route Army capture our stronghold without using artillery!" Colonel Kato asked directly with an expression of disbelief.
"Also, didn't all the strongholds hold Chinese people as hostages? Aren't the Eighth Route Army afraid that we would kill the hostages? Chief of Staff, are you mistaken?"
The chief of staff shook his head and replied: "That's right! A total of six strongholds were captured by the Eighth Route Army. All the Imperial Army was in pieces. Many people from the Imperial Association Army also died. The remaining Imperial Army Army must have been captured by the Eighth Route Army. This is what the Communications Corps saw.
If you report back after returning to the battlefield, there must be no problem!"
"How did the Eighth Route Army do it? And what about the hostages? Did the hostages suffer heavy casualties?" Kato asked, staring closely at the chief of staff.
"According to the investigation, there were almost no casualties among the hostages, and they were all rescued by the Eighth Route Army!" the chief of staff answered with his head lowered, also very confused.
Then he continued to answer: "In addition, many imperial troops died on the way to reinforcements. We deduce that the Eighth Route Army must have used the method of encircling points for reinforcements, transferring our garrison at each stronghold out of the garrison, and then annihilating them all, and finally doing the reverse.
Seize the already depleted stronghold and rescue the hostages!"
A battle scene quickly appeared in Kato Osaku's mind. The content of the scene was how the Eighth Route Army mobilized reinforcements through encirclement points, eating up its garrison scattered in various strongholds bit by bit.
"Bageya Road, the cunning Eighth Route Army, despite all the calculations, it has even forgotten the Eighth Route Army's best ability to encircle the point and provide reinforcements?" Kato Osaka cursed with a ferocious expression of gritted teeth.
The chief of staff was also very angry, and suggested while holding back his anger: "Your Excellency, Commander, our opponents are too cunning. As long as we expose a few loopholes, they will pounce on us and bite us. Since entering the Qinggu Transit Station, we have already lost a lot of money."
Nearly two thousand Imperial Army. Although the Imperial Army has less than two infantry squadrons, if the losses continue at this rate, all the troops in our hands will be lost in less than ten days!
"Look, can we order the garrison at each stronghold not to attack? As long as these surrounding strongholds are still in our hands, the Eighth Route Army will not have the guts to send troops into our hinterland to attack the transfer station at close range!"
Kato Osaka shook his head and replied: "No, this is too passive!"
"It's been a long time, but it's us who have lost. We must find a way to change from passive to active, hit the Eighth Route Army hard, break through them, and then they won't dare to attack us!"
Seeing the Chief of Staff's expression of confusion, Kato Colonel analyzed directly: "The Eighth Route Army took such a big advantage last night, and they will definitely continue to attack us tonight. I decided to fight back against the Eighth Route Army tonight!"
As expected, the independent group came that night. At first, the independent group fought very smoothly.
Just like last night, we were besieging and besieging, and we were calling for reinforcements. We were in a posture of killing and injuring a large number of Japanese and puppet troops.
But at this moment, an accident happened.
Chief of Staff Zeng Quan first felt something was wrong.
In two consecutive ambush battles last night, the troops concentrated their firepower to beat up the concentrated Japanese troops. When they were almost killed, a single charge could force the remaining Imperial Army troops to surrender on the spot, and then end the battle.
But tonight was different. Two companies rushed to the road. The hundred or so "Imperial Association Army" did not surrender as he imagined. Instead, they picked up rifles with bayonets and two companies strangled them.
Let's fight with the bayonet together.
"The Imperial Alliance Army fought with us on bayonets. Did they take the wrong medicine?" A guard next to Zeng Quan shouted with disbelief.
Zeng Quan's face immediately turned pale: "No, we were fooled. They are not the Imperial Alliance Army at all, but the Japanese. The little Japanese are repeating their old tricks on us again!"
