"Detachment leader, all the Japanese and puppet troops have been wiped out, and nearly 600 puppet troops have been captured. The troops are now cleaning the battlefield!" the chief of staff reported excitedly as soon as he rushed to Chen Zhengxiang.
"There are still four hours until dawn. I'll give you two hours to clean the battlefield and then retreat!" The detachment leader looked at a watch that the Japanese had captured on his wrist and tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart.
"Also, send a telegram to the political commissar immediately to inform you of the retreat. The mission has been completed, there is no need to fight against the Japanese!"
What puzzled the detachment leader was that less than ten minutes after he left, the chief of staff had a complicated look on his face and came all the way.
"The detachment leader, the political commissar said not to retreat yet! Give him another hour, and we will definitely capture Pingding County! He said that there are not many Japanese and puppet troops in Pingding County, and he hopes that we can send him another regiment to participate in the final battle.
Siege battle!”
"Chief of Staff, what do you think?" The detachment leader frowned immediately, neither agreeing nor rejecting.
"The political commissar is also very capable in leading troops in battles. I think we should trust the political commissar and not miss the opportunity!" the chief of staff replied after thinking about it.
"Don't miss this opportunity, well said!" the detachment leader quickly made a decision.
"Order the Third Regiment to run to reinforce the political commissar. If we can capture Pingding County, the losses of the Japanese and puppet troops tonight will reach 4,000. Without these 4,000 Japanese and puppet troops, I wonder how the little devils can defend Yangquan in Nuoda.
.When the time comes, not to mention reinforcements to other places, even self-protection will be a problem!"
Having said this, a sneer appeared on the detachment leader's face. He became more and more determined to complete the tasks assigned to him by the headquarters.
From the moment Lieutenant Colonel Matsushita was ambushed at the headquarters of the Japanese Fourth Mixed Brigade in Yangquan, Major General Tsuda could no longer sleep.
He kept frowning in the war room, waiting for news from the front line.
After finally waiting for the Chief of Staff, who was guarding the telegraph room, Major General Tsuda's heart skipped a beat when he saw the Chief of Staff's heavy expression, and he had a very bad premonition.
"General, we suddenly cut off radio contact with Lieutenant Colonel Matsushita!" the chief of staff reported with his head lowered.
"The Matsushita Junyu is broken," Major General Tsuda asked with a gloomy look.
"No, General, it is very likely that Matsushita-kun's radio station was destroyed during the battle. Or the radio station was missed during the breakout. We will only know the specific news at dawn!" the chief of staff comforted himself.
Major General Tsuda did not answer. He stared at the chief of staff and continued to ask: "Where is Harada who pacified the county seat? Is he still in contact?"
"Yes!" the chief of staff replied quickly.
"Because the Eighth Route Army's offensive was too fierce, the defenders suffered heavy losses. Mr. Harada reported that breaking through and retreating now will accelerate the demise of the troops. Therefore, Mr. Harada gave up the retreat and prepared to live and die with Pingding County and strive to hold on until dawn!"
"Yoshi! Harada-kun is a real warrior!" Major General Tsuda said with a look of admiration on his face.
"I called Harada back. The time was right. I allowed him to leave Pingding and return to Yangquan alone. It's such a pity that he always dies like this!"
"Hi!"
Just as the chief of staff was about to turn around and send a telegram, a rush of footsteps came in. Then the anxious figure of the communications staff member appeared in front of Major General Tsuda.
"General, our connection with Pingping County has been interrupted!"
"Also, Major Harada just sent a farewell telegram. Tubal Road has entered Pingding County!"
"The place where Lieutenant Colonel Matsushita was ambush was fighting. The gunfire stopped half an hour ago. Lieutenant Colonel Matsushita's life and death are unknown, and the situation of the battle is unknown!"
Major General Tsuda fell down on the stool and stared blankly at the sand table in front of him without saying a word.
The chief of staff and other staff officers nearby were all frightened by Major General Tsuda's reaction, but they remained silent and could not say a word.
Because once Major General Tsuda gets angry, he may kill someone.
In this case, no one had the guts to touch his brow, including the chief of staff.
After almost five minutes like this, Tsuda Kao finally made some movement. He picked up the sand table baton and hit it hard on the sand table. After smashing the sand table to pieces, he cursed loudly.
"Baga, the reinforcements, the Pingding County garrison, a total of four thousand troops, disappeared in just one night. When did the Imperial Japanese Army become so vulnerable!"
"Chief of Staff, check, check for me after dawn. I want to know how so many imperial troops were destroyed. Who is the Tubalu who destroyed them? Our Fourth Mixed Brigade has never suffered such a great humiliation. We must
Want revenge."
"I want to know the results in one day. If I can't get the results, everyone will apologize to the emperor. The Imperial Army of Japan does not raise waste!"
In the mountains less than 20 kilometers away from Yangquan, the first detachment is hidden here.
The troops won the battle, and the entire detachment was enveloped in joy.
Except for the detachment headquarters.
In the detachment headquarters set up in a tent, detachment captain Chen Zhengxiang was furious with his three regiment commanders, especially the second regiment commander.
Because, last night, the Second Regiment also set a precedent. After the detachment was expanded and established, it was the first time that a company was wiped out.
There was no one left alive in an infantry company from the company commander on down. This had never happened since Chen Zhengxiang led the army. Chen Zhengxiang could not help but be angry.
"After we return, the regimental commander, political commissar, chief of staff, first battalion commander, and instructor will all write reviews!"
"Also, all five of you will be demoted one level and will temporarily take over your current duties. If something like this happens again, don't blame me for writing a detachment leader to beat you to the bottom!"
The political commissar nodded in acquiescence and said: "I agree that the entire army of a company was destroyed. This was entirely caused by your command errors and must be punished to serve as a warning to others!"
After saying that, the political commissar comforted the still angry detachment leader: "Okay, Lao Chen, you have to be scolded and punished. After all, the army has won the battle. If your expression spreads, it will affect the morale of the army."
!”
"We destroyed 4,000 Japanese puppet troops in one night. You have to make up your mind on how to fight next to successfully complete the mission of the headquarters!"
"It's very simple, continue to consume the Japanese and puppet troops in Yangquan!" Chen Zhengxiang, who had already had an idea, blurted out.
"The three regiments will split up and attack tonight. By the way, the Yangquan Independent Regiment is also included. Replenish their equipment. There are four regiments in total, all dispatched, divided into four directions, and quickly annihilated the territory of Yangquan with lightning speed.
All strongholds, large and small, except the county seat!”
"With four regiments, as long as each regiment captures two strongholds of the Japanese and puppet troops, that will be the gain of more than a thousand Japanese and puppet troops!"
"At that time, the total strength of the Japanese and puppet troops in Yangquan will be reduced sharply to 8,000. This small number of troops cannot even be relied on to defend their own territory, let alone send out to reinforce others!"
