By the time Wang Ping turned around and turned into a hungry wolf and pounced on the Japanese and puppet troops again, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers had been killed by Zhong Chenggong.
"Charge and kill the remaining puppet troops. Surrender without killing!" Wang Ping, holding a pistol in his hand, ordered loudly.
Soon, the more than 40 remaining puppet troops on the battlefield were all taken as prisoners of the new group.
"Captain, all the dozen or so Japs were killed. 21 puppet soldiers were killed, 42 were captured, and two machine guns, one grenade launcher, and 69 rifles were seized." Zhong Chenggong rushed to Wang Ping with a happy face and reported.
.
"As for the bullets, because the Japanese and puppet troops had almost no chance to shoot when they were attacked, we captured almost all the ammunition they brought out, more than 3,000 rounds in total. Now we finally have bullets!"
"Move immediately, you can't stay here for too long!" Seeing the long-lost smiles finally showing on the faces of many soldiers, Wang Ping was sure that as long as he won more battles, the morale of the new regiment would definitely be lifted again, and he frowned
Wrinkle ordered.
"Ask the prisoners to help with the capture and transfer it immediately!"
In the Japanese and puppet army stronghold, the sudden sound of gunfire two kilometers away cast a shadow on the face of every remaining Japanese soldier in the stronghold.
As expected, Lieutenant Jiujiang waited for almost half an hour, but did not see the returning troops from the sortie.
I specifically told him that the troops must retreat after chasing them for two kilometers. In half an hour, they could cover two kilometers even if they crawled.
But now, no one has even seen the shadow of the attacking troops. There is only one situation. The attacking troops just sent out by themselves have encountered something unexpected, and it is very likely that the entire army has been destroyed by now.
"Captain, do you want to send someone out to take a look!" the second lieutenant standing nearby reminded in a low voice.
"Are you a stupid pig?" Lieutenant Jiujiang cursed without hesitation.
"A combat detachment and two platoons of the Royal Association Army are no match for the New Regiment. How many people do you plan to send there? If it's less, it won't be enough for the New Regiment to fill the gap. If it's too much, there will be no one to defend our stronghold.
There will be a gap in the entire blockade, and a new group will take the opportunity to break through, and what will happen if they escape?"
"The captain is wise, but it's all due to his low position and lack of consideration!" the second lieutenant quickly lowered his head and replied, with an expression that taught him something.
Lieutenant Jiujiang followed closely and ordered: "The troops will be on alert. The new regiment has just eaten so many of us. It will definitely not give up. What new plans are waiting for us? Also, send a signal to the mobile troops behind.
, dispatch a combat detachment and a platoon of the Imperial Army to reinforce us, and be quick!"
An hour later, Wang Ping came again with a platoon.
Because many weapons and ammunition were seized from the Japanese and puppet troops, the new regiment's offensive firepower this time was even more intense than before.
However, it was still impossible to take advantage of the opportunity to capture the hilltops occupied by the Japanese and puppet troops.
Just like the battle more than two hours ago, after a short and intensive fire attack, Wang Ping led his troops to retreat.
This time, Wang Ping was destined to miscalculate.
The Japanese and puppet troops on the hilltop did not show any intention of pursuing them.
"Captain, there's something going on. Dozens of Japanese and puppet troops appeared on the other side of the hill. They rushed up the hill and brought a heavy machine gun with them!" Li Wen, who had been staying behind to stare at the hill, hurried over and reported!
"Japanese reinforcements!" Wang Ping had a very bad premonition in his mind.
Frowning, he analyzed: "The Japs commander is very smart. He has already figured out our purpose of luring them out of the stronghold and consuming them bit by bit!"
"What should we do? If the Japanese don't come out, we can't defeat them at all. What's more, they now have dozens of reinforcements and a heavy machine gun. If they attack by force, we are no match for them!" Li Wen stared!
Wang Ping asked.
Because he has always been with Wang Ping, he is very aware of the difficulties that the New Regiment is currently facing.
Although a lot of weapons and equipment were seized in the ambush battle just now, the food that the new regiment was most in need of was not seized at all.
This means that if the leader of the group in front of you does not solve the food problem tonight, the new group will be hungry starting from tomorrow!
"Go back first!" Wang Ping ordered with a frown on his face, his face very ugly.
There was no pursuing force behind Wang Ping. Zhong Chenggong, who was commanding the ambush force, felt his heart skip a beat and immediately realized that the operation had failed.
"Battle Commander Zhong, the Japanese commander is very smart and has figured out our purpose!" Seeing Zhong Chenggong approaching with a worried look on his face, Wang Ping said directly without hiding anything.
Wang Ping's frankness and directness made Zhong Chenggong suddenly stunned, and it took him several seconds to react.
Then he stared at Wang Ping and asked: "Then what should we do next? Captain, now we have no food left in our hands. The most important thing to solve is the food problem!"
"It doesn't matter to us. We can survive for two days if we are hungry. But it's not OK for the wounded. They probably won't be able to survive for a day!"
Wang Ping frowned and said nothing.
Soon, dozens of cadres and soldiers gathered around a few people.
Although none of them spoke, Wang Ping saw a fleeting look of disappointment on their faces.
As for the smile and the little bit of morale that had been restored after defeating the Japanese, they all disappeared completely.
For the current New Regiment, food is obviously more important than weapons and ammunition.
Without food, the remaining 200 or so people in the new regiment will starve, and then the battlefield will collapse.
But it's different without weapons. As long as the troops don't collapse, it's a big deal and they can be snatched from the hands of the Japanese.
"Only the Japs have food in our neighborhood. If you want to get food, you can only steal it from the Japs!" Wang Ping, with a stern face, suddenly said.
"The Japs must have food, but it's all in the military camp. Unless we capture their military camp, it's impossible to get food!" Zhong Chenggong gave Wang Ping an answer as if he was pouring cold water on him.
"That's not necessarily true!" Wang Ping replied with two gleams of light suddenly shooting out of his eyes.
"Captain, you have an idea!" Li Wen also stared at Wang Ping with his eyes shining and asked.
"Food is not necessarily only in the hands of the Japs! When I came here, I heard that the Japs had set up maintenance committees in every village in Linfen. The presidents of the maintenance committees were all traitors sent by the Japs, and every maintenance committee was established.
He formed a convoy to search and eliminate our Eighth Route Army and anti-Japanese troops, collect grain from the Japanese, and even implemented a company system among the common people. If one person collaborated with the anti-Japanese armed forces, the entire village would be punished."
"These villages around the mountain are the focus of the devils. Maintenance committees and traitor teams must have been established. They must have food in their hands!"
