Zhong Chenggong and several company commanders frowned even deeper, and they all lowered their heads and said nothing.
In the end, Zhong Chenggong couldn't help but remind him: "Captain, if this happens we will be in trouble!"
"We are soldiers of the people. Without the support of the people, we are like fish out of water and cannot hold on for too long. Also, without the support of the people, we will have no recruits and no food. Even if we leave the mountain now, we will not be able to survive for a long time."
May grow!”
"Maybe the entire army will be destroyed when the Japanese army pursues and intercepts them!" First Company Commander Xiong Changhe added with a sullen face.
"Without the support of the people, we can't hide outside the mountains. Not only that, our whereabouts will be reported to the Japanese by the maintenance committees of each village, and then we will be chased and beaten. No matter how many troops there are, the Japanese will kill us."
Eat it bit by bit!”
"Moreover, we still have so many seriously injured people on hand. It is definitely unrealistic to march all the time to fight. We must have a stable stronghold so that our new regiment can survive and grow stronger under the pursuit and interception of the Japanese and puppet troops!"
Wang Ping finally made some noise, stared at the clock and asked Chenggong: "How long is it until dawn?"
"Two hours!" Zhong Chenggong didn't know why Wang Ping asked this incomprehensible question, but he still answered decisively.
Wang Ping's frown just now finally showed signs of relaxing, and he analyzed it after thinking about it.
"It will be dawn in two hours. After dawn, the Japanese will find us, catch up with us, or directly send planes to bomb us. It will take at least an hour, and a total of three hours will be enough!"
"What's enough!" Zhong Chenggong was even more confused and asked, staring at Wang Ping.
"Retreat and return to the mountains!" Wang Ping gave an astonishing reply.
"There are no villages outside the mountains for us to use as a stronghold, so we will build a stronghold inside the mountains. It's just a little troublesome!"
"Captain Zhong, order the troops to retreat immediately! Aren't the traitors from the Maintenance Council gone? They certainly didn't take away the food in their hands. One person can carry thirty kilograms of food into the mountains, and we can eat it for at least a month!"
After finally escaping and now returning, not only the company commander below did not understand, but Zhong Chenggong also did not understand.
Wang Ping didn't have much time to explain to them. He frowned and ordered: "Execute the order. In addition to the wounded and the soldiers carrying the wounded, each person must carry thirty kilograms of food and retreat to the mountain along the same route!"
"Second Company and I will set off first to confirm whether the blockade we just opened has been blocked by the Japanese again!"
Wang Ping was lucky. When he rushed to the breakthrough with the Second Company, there was only a Japanese combat detachment and a puppet platoon on the high ground on the mountain road.
When the Japanese captain who was stationed at the rear learned that the remnants of the New Regiment had not attacked in the east and west, but had concentrated their forces to break through the blockade from one point and successfully rushed out of the mountain, he became furious and immediately dispatched mobile troops to find the remnants of the New Regiment.
.
The public security in Linfen was under his direct management and was finally restored.
Not only that, with the establishment of maintenance committees in various villages in Linfen, the security of Linfen will only get better and better.
Major General Matsumoto, the commander of the brigade, has publicly commended himself many times and promised to ask his superiors for merit and promote himself from Major to Lieutenant Colonel.
At this critical moment, the captain will never allow any trouble in Linfen due to the arrival of the remnants of the new regiment, which will affect his promotion to lieutenant colonel.
So, as soon as he received the news, the captain sent out all his mobile troops to search for the remnants of the new regiment that had entered Linfen, find it, and kill it!
As for the breakthrough opened by the new group, the captain did not take it seriously.
The new group has left the mountain, and it is definitely impossible to go back to the mountain where there is no food and the environment is harsh.
Therefore, the captain sent only one combat unit and a platoon of the Imperial Army to reoccupy the hilltop high ground captured by the new regiment.
"Get rid of them. There is still a lot of food and clothing on the high ground that we cannot take away. It is useless when we go out of the mountain, but it will be useful when we return to the mountain to build a stronghold!" Seeing that there were not many Japanese and puppet troops reoccupying the top of the mountain, Wang
Ping makes a decision as soon as his eyes light up.
The second company with a total of four light machine guns, led by Wang Ping, moved towards the high ground like a ghost.
Perhaps they knew that there would be no more fighting here, and in addition, these Japanese and puppet troops had traveled quite a lot of mountain roads an hour or two ago.
Of the more than fifty Japanese and puppet troops, there were only six puppet troops standing on guard around the high ground.
Trying not to let his eyelids close as he started to fight, he worked in pairs, holding rifles on guard.
The Japanese and puppet troops were so relaxed and underestimated that Wang Ping was not discovered until he was thirty meters away from them.
A Japanese sentry subconsciously let out a scream, then raised his rifle and prepared to aim at Wang Pingping.
Wang Ping shot first.
A string of bullets flew past, and the two puppet soldiers fell directly to the ground.
Gunfire rang out, and the sneak attack instantly turned into a violent attack.
The four machine gunners jumped up from the ground, holding the machine guns in their arms and using them as submachine guns. Their feet seemed to have grown hot wheels, and they walked as fast as flying to the high ground.
The first person to react on the top of the mountain must be the Japanese.
As soon as a dozen Japanese soldiers rushed out of the tent with rifles in hand, four machine gunners opened fire.
A dense barrage of bullets flew towards the two tents where the Japs were located, and five Japs were killed as soon as they rushed out of the tents.
Immediately afterwards, a scream came from inside the tent.
It is still the tactic of fighting the Japanese first and then the puppet troops.
The whole raid ended in less than three minutes. Once a dozen Japanese soldiers were dead, the remaining puppet troops did the same drill, dropping their rifles and kneeling on the ground to surrender!
At dawn, the new main force led by Zhong Chenggong arrived.
"Captain Zhong, take all the things you can carry with you on the top of the mountain. If you don't have time, move to the woods first, and then move to our next station little by little!"
"There are also those prisoners of the puppet army. There are nearly a hundred people in total. Let them work. If there are any disobedient ones, you can find two who have committed serious crimes to set an example and kill them. The murderous intention will be shown to the monkeys!"
"We can't let them follow us and only eat and do nothing. We are not the ones who take advantage of us like the Japanese. We don't have food to feed the idle people!"
Along the way, Zhong Chenggong was thinking about Wang Ping's order to withdraw from the mountain.
Finally he figured out that for the current Xinyi Tuan, it was better to go into the mountains than stay outside.
As long as you have enough food, you can go into the mountains to recharge your batteries and wait for the opportunity. Then you can rush out of the mountains with lightning speed and catch the Japanese by surprise!
Therefore, Zhong Chenggong knows better than anyone the importance of these materials to Xinyi Tuan.
Without a word of nonsense, he immediately called on his subordinates to clean up the battlefield. After that, he did not let go of the cotton-padded military uniforms on the corpses of the Japanese soldiers who died in the battle, and took them all into the mountains together!
