"Captain, these Tubal gangsters are so arrogant. They dare to snatch things under our noses. They don't even take us seriously!" On the top of the stronghold's gun tower, a sergeant held his command knife tightly and cursed with an expression of gritted teeth.
.
"This is completely a provocation to our Imperial Japanese Army. We must kill them and take revenge!" Another sergeant added immediately, with an angry look on his face.
Seeing that the lieutenant captain just kept a calm face and said nothing, the vice captain analyzed with a serious face.
"Captain, under the eyes of the Imperial Army, Tubal killed the maintenance team that was delivering supplies to the Imperial Army, and also robbed the food that should have belonged to us. Once the news comes, the Chinese people will think that our Imperial Army didn't even look forward to it.
If even the maintenance committees below cannot protect us, they will lose their hearts towards us!"
"There are many maintenance committees under our management around us. We must not let them doubt our combat effectiveness. Otherwise, from now on, they will not work so hard for us!"
As an officer of a local garrison, since he rarely goes to the battlefield to kill enemies, ensuring and maintaining law and order within his jurisdiction has become an important criterion for his superiors to evaluate his military merits and promote his military rank.
Therefore, in the eyes of the lieutenant, anyone who dares to disrupt the security of the area will be at risk of his own military exploits and future.
There was finally movement on the gloomy face. Without a word of nonsense, he frowned and ordered: "Harada-kun, you lead two combat units and a platoon of the Imperial Alliance Army, and immediately go out to catch up with the retreating Tubal Road and kill them.
, seize back our own supplies!”
"Hi!" the second lieutenant deputy captain replied with excitement, and then called the two sergeants next to him to assemble the troops.
A total of more than sixty Japanese and puppet troops, under the command of the second lieutenant, rushed out of the stronghold like hungry wolves.
Not long after, a scene appeared that made the lieutenant feel desperate.
More than a hundred Eighth Route Army troops suddenly emerged from the forest and quickly surrounded the troops they had sent out.
If it were normal times, the lieutenant was confident that his two combat units would be able to defeat a company of the Eighth Route Army.
However, the equipment of the more than one hundred Eighth Route Army is really good. There are nearly ten light machine guns alone. Add in the rifles and shoot them together. In just two or three seconds, there will be three to four hundred rounds of bullets raining down.
Cover the troops you sent out.
More than half of the more than sixty subordinates were lost in the blink of an eye.
And those who were killed were basically the imperial troops charging in the middle of the team.
"Bageya Road, this is a conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army, we have been fooled!" the lieutenant shouted with his big eyes wide open and a look of shock on his face.
Then he responded quickly: "Others are ready to fight. After Tubal Road kills our attacking troops, they will definitely attack our stronghold."
"Also, contact the headquarters immediately and request reinforcements!"
After a series of orders were issued, the Eighth Route Army, which besieged the attacking troops, launched an attack.
The remaining dozen or so puppet troops had no courage to resist, so they simply threw away their guns and surrendered.
"Captain, the Japanese and puppet troops have been killed!" Xiong Changhe, the commander of the company, reported excitedly before he even rushed to Wang Ping.
Under the command of Wang Ping, the New Regiment won consecutive victories at almost no cost, and won several great victories. The huge victory made everyone full of confidence in the future of the New Regiment, and also invisibly influenced Wang Ping.
Be the backbone of the new group.
So, after the report was finished, Xiong Changhe stared at Wang Ping, waiting for Wang Ping's next order.
"Concentrate your troops and firepower and attack the stronghold directly!" Wang Ping made a decision immediately.
Then he continued to add: "The battle must be ended within an hour and a half. There is a large Japanese stronghold ten kilometers away. They can hear the gunshots and will definitely send troops to reinforce here! If the attack is frustrated, you can ask for artillery reinforcements. The capture was captured last night
There are a lot of cannonballs, they can’t be left there to rust!”
Both company commanders are familiar with Wang Ping's combat style: he can kill the enemy with artillery shells and never use bullets. No matter what kind of battle, casualties are the regimental commander's greatest concern.
If you win a battle and suffer too many casualties, you will not be praised by the regimental commander for not advancing, and you may even be punished.
The attack went smoothly, and in just half an hour, the remaining puppet troops in the stronghold surrendered.
As for the Japanese, except for a dozen who were killed or blown up by the attacking troops, the remaining four were beaten to death by random robbery from behind by the surrendering Imperial Army.
"Clean the battlefield quickly and prepare to retreat!" Xiong Changhe was not too happy after capturing the stronghold. He knew that the new regiment was competing for time with the Japanese reinforcements. The sooner they evacuated here, the safer the troops would be.
"Captain, there's something going on!" Suddenly, a veteran sent by Wang Ping from the direct squad rushed over.
"The reinforcements sent from the Shimiao Town stronghold are almost here. They will be here in half an hour!"
"How could it be so fast?" Wang Ping asked with a frown.
"Looking at time, even if the Japanese and puppet troops in Shimiao Town sent troops as soon as they heard the sound of gunfire, it would still take an hour and a half to arrive. It has only been more than half an hour now, and it should still take another hour to arrive.
here!"
"Most of the soldiers they sent were Japs, and there was only one company of puppet troops. The Japs marched very fast, and they had mules and horses to help transport mortars and heavy machine guns. The speed was much faster than we expected!"
"How many Japs are there?" Wang Ping seemed to have thought of something, but he failed to grasp the key point and could only stare at the scout and continue to ask.
"A strengthened squadron also brings mortars and heavy machine guns. The puppet army only has one company!" the scout immediately replied.
Wang Ping reacted suddenly, stared at Xiong Changhe and asked: "Captain Xiong, I remember that the total number of Japanese in the Shimiao Town stronghold only has one reinforced squadron, and the puppet army only has two companies!"
Xiong Changhe also reacted at this time: "Yes, now there is only one company of the Imperial Alliance Army left in the Japanese and puppet stronghold in Shimiao Town!"
"Captain, this is fat meat put in our mouths. If we don't swallow it, we will be really sorry for the sincerity of the Japanese!"
Xiao Yunshan should be more cautious: "Captain, could this be a Japanese conspiracy?"
"Only one company is left to defend such a large stronghold. This is not the Japanese style."
"You know, Shimiao Town is not an ordinary small stronghold. There are three to four hundred people stationed in it. There are tens of thousands of kilograms of food alone, as well as a large number of weapons and ammunition!"
Lao Xiao, you are worrying too much, what kind of conspiracy could this be? It must be that Recall finally discovered our traces and wanted to kill us all at once, and then the whole army came out to kill us!"
"If I were a Japanese commander, I would do the same thing."
The two people who couldn't convince each other turned their attention to Wang Ping at the same time!
After all, Wang Ping is not a Japanese, so he is also very hesitant.
In his opinion, there is a half chance that the Stone Temple Town stronghold is a trap or a trap.
In the past, when he was in the Independent Regiment, Wang Ping would definitely not go back to fight. But now he is in the New Regiment. The New Regiment needs such a fighter so much that he has no way to refuse.
But another voice in his heart kept warning him that this was a trap.
Finally, Wang Ping decided to take a gamble.
