"Wang Daoshan, take the new company and retreat here with the captured supplies!" Wang Ping ordered, pointing to the hiding spot he had just chosen on the map.
"Since the Japs are attacking with heavy troops, they will definitely not give up until they achieve their goal. They will try to hunt us down after seeing that there is no one here. What you need to do is to make the Japs think that you are the main force, and then hunt you down."
"As for how to stop the Japanese pursuit, I don't care. But I can give you a suggestion. At the critical moment, give up the capture and take a detour to the hiding place we agreed on!"
Wang Daoshan, who was not worried about it at first, was stunned for a moment, and then quickly assured: "Please rest assured, captain, and promise to complete the mission!"
"Others follow me and set off now. Everyone should replenish their ammunition and bring all the machine guns and artillery captured in the stronghold. I just smashed the stronghold and found three mules and horses. They will directly use the mules and horses to help us transport weapons and ammunition!"
No one at the Japanese brigade headquarters in Linfen City knew why Major General Matsumoto would expose the empty Shimiao Town stronghold to the new regiment.
"Reporting to the brigade commander, the reconnaissance troops lurking around Shimiao Town received an urgent call. They found a troop lurking towards the Shimiao Town stronghold. The total strength is about 150 people and they are well-equipped!" The communications staff rushed into the war room.
He reported it to Matsumoto.
"It must be the remnants of the new regiment outside the mountain!" Matsumoto judged with great certainty.
"Chief of Staff, immediately give orders to the mobile troops on standby in the city to immediately reinforce the Shimiao Town stronghold. Surround the Tuba Road attacking Shimiao Town there and kill them!"
"Contact the commander of the Shimiao Town garrison squadron via radio and immediately lead troops back to support Shimiao Town. I will encircle and attack the remnants of the new regiment in Shimiao Town on three sides!"
The chief of staff was stunned on the spot, and it took him a long time to react.
"General, you knew from the beginning that the New Regiment would not let go of our empty Shimiao Town stronghold, and then you exposed Shimiao Town. You used Shimiao Town as a bait to attract the New Regiment to be fooled, and then in Shimiao
Kill them!"
Seeing Matsumoto nodding in affirmation, the chief of staff immediately complimented: "The general is wise and humble, and he immediately issued the order!"
"This time, we will definitely be able to kill the remnants of the new group outside the mountain!"
Outside the Shimiao Town stronghold, due to the cover of night, Wang Ping and the two company commanders reached thirty or forty meters outside the stronghold, and the puppet troops on guard inside the stronghold did not notice it.
"The first company will attack from the front to attract the firepower of the puppet army. Five minutes after the attack started, the second company detoured behind the stronghold and launched a sudden attack!" Wang Ping ordered, pointing to the almost silent stronghold in front of him.
"As for the machine gun firepower of the puppet troops, my direct team and I will deal with it and ensure that each time they fire, they will not take more than five seconds!"
"Ten minutes to prepare, and the attack will begin in ten minutes!"
"Da da da..." The attack began with the sound of a machine gun fired by Xiong Changhe on his shoulder.
A barrage of machine gun bullets swept past, and the two puppet artillerymen didn't even know where the gunfire came from. They were instantly beaten into pieces and fell to the sentry post.
"Counterattack, everyone enter the position and shoot immediately!" The company commander, who was awakened by the gunshots, rushed out of the room without even wearing his clothes and shouted loudly.
"The machine gunners will fire immediately to block the attacking troops from Tubal Road!" As soon as they rushed to the second floor of the gun tower, the company commander shouted loudly to the two machine gunners who had just taken their positions.
"Da da da..." Two machine guns fired immediately, and the company commander's tense heart immediately relaxed a lot.
"Bang bang... da da da..." The good times didn't last long. Within three seconds of the machine gun firing, a string of bullets flew into the turret from the firing hole. One of the two machine gunners who was shooting with the machine gun was shot in the head and was cut off.
Half of his head and one chest were beaten into a sieve.
The company commander was frightened and was stunned for three seconds before reacting.
"The machine gun can't stop! Where is the assistant shooter? Go up and continue shooting!"
This time, the gunshot also went silent within three seconds of the sound. One of the two sub-machine gun shooters was shot in the head by a rifle bullet, and the other was beaten to pieces by a machine gun bullet!
"Machine gunner, keep going!" The company commander reacted very quickly this time. He glanced at the machine gunner who fell on the ground and shouted loudly.
The platoon leader next to him immediately reminded: "Company commander, the enemy's firepower is too strong. There are six light machine guns, including one heavy machine gun. We are no match for the firepower!"
"Then what should we do? We watch Tubal Road rush into the stronghold and kill us!" the company commander asked in dissatisfaction.
"Bang bang... da da da..." As he spoke, another string of bullets flew into the turret from the shooting hole. The two machine gunners were killed before they had a chance to fire. Two riflemen were also killed.
He was killed by stray bullets that flew into the gun tower.
"Shoot immediately and continue shooting at the attacking troops on Tubal Road outside the city!" The company commander's face had turned pale, but he still insisted on the order, and at the same time, he used this order to vent his inner fear.
However, because they did not dare to expose their heads from the shooting holes, the bullets that flew out of the turret were fired by everyone hiding in the turret and firing blank guns. Even the gunmen themselves did not know where the bullets they fired would fly.
As a result, such a scene appeared on the battlefield.
Bullets kept flying out of the artillery building, and the Eighth Route Army attacking the artillery building seemed to be invulnerable, rushing forward to face the bullets.
"We can't let the Tubal Road rush over. Increase the firepower. Also, move all the troops from other directions to block the Tubal Road outside!" The company commander, whose nerves were tense again, made a decisive decision.
When all the puppet troops gathered around the First Company and were tightly suppressed by the First Company in the gun tower.
Xiao Yunshan moved with the second company.
It was not until they reached the edge of the stronghold that a puppet soldier reacted, but it was too late.
"Commander, except for a dozen or so of the puppet troops in a company who were killed, the rest have all become our prisoners!" Xiong Changhe reported excitedly as soon as he rushed to Wang Ping.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yunshan, who followed closely, added: "Also, Commander, we have made a fortune. The two warehouses behind the gun tower are full. Food, weapons and ammunition, uniforms, everything is available, at least
Can arm an infantry battalion!"
A very important reason why Wang Ping decided to attack here was because he took a fancy to the weapons, ammunition and other supplies that the Japanese had hoarded here.
As for another important reason, it was the prisoners that Xiong Changhe just reported.
Last night, more than 30 of the more than 50 prisoners were willing to join the Eighth Route Army.
Now there are more than 80 prisoners captured here, and at least 50 people can be mobilized to join the Eighth Route Army.
These people are all trained veterans who can fight by replenishing their troops.
If you can use these people for your own use, you will be able to break through a battalion immediately with the available soldiers.
The more troops you have, the more battles you can fight, and the more opportunities you have to break the current unfavorable situation for the new regiment.
"Clean the battlefield immediately and take away everything you can. We have won enough tonight, so we won't fight anymore!" Wang Ping, who was becoming more and more confident, ordered decisively.
