"It's over!" Major Ida said with his eyes closed and a look of pain on his face.
As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen Eighth Route Army troops appeared in the direction in which the reinforcements were rushing.
Although there were not many people, the equipment was very luxurious, including one heavy machine gun and four light machine guns.
A total of five machine guns fired on the ground, and the whizzing bullets quickly intertwined an airtight bullet net in front of a dozen Japanese soldiers. Anyone who rushed in did not even have a chance to breathe, and was directly killed.
Break into a sieve.
"Captain, the breakthrough has been opened by the Eighth Route Army, and they have begun to break out!" the adjutant next to him continued to shout.
When he opened his eyes, a picture appeared that made Major Ida even more painful.
Dozens of Eighth Route Army soldiers pointed their guns at more than 200 puppet soldiers. Each puppet soldier was carrying a bullet box or half a bag of food and quickly passed through the breach.
The painful Major Ida even found several mules and horses loaded with various supplies and several large carts filled with supplies among the breakout team!
"Bage Ya Road, the Eighth Route Army is so arrogant, they actually carried away the captured materials and ammunition of the Imperial Army under our noses, and those puppet troops, they don't take our Imperial Army seriously..." Major Ida
He yelled with an expression of gritted teeth, filled with anger and dissatisfaction.
"Captain, why don't you assemble the remaining troops and hunt them down immediately!" the adjutant immediately reminded~
"Shut up!" Major Ida scolded without hesitation.
Then he stared at the adjutant and asked: "Do you want all the remaining imperial troops to die here?"
"Didn't you see the equipment of the Eighth Route Army? There are dozens of light and heavy machine guns. Can our small number of people be able to deal with it? Confused!"
"Then just watch them leave. The hundreds of imperial soldiers who died just now were all in vain," the adjutant shouted with a look of reluctance.
"Anyway, I have no choice. If the remaining people catch up, not only will they not be able to eliminate the remnants of the new regiment, but they will also be wiped out in turn. The gain outweighs the loss. It is better not to pursue them."
At this point, Major Ida suddenly let out a long sigh, and then said: "That's it! If the brigade commander wants to be held accountable for tonight's battle, I will bear all the responsibility. So many warriors of the Imperial Army have already died, and they cannot die again.
!”
It wasn't until dawn that Wang Ping and his party arrived at the meeting point agreed with Wang Daoshan.
"Captain, we made a lot of money this time. Although we only brought back three mortars, we brought back a full 600 rounds of artillery shells, enough to squander three mortars for a while!"
"We brought back three heavy machine guns, plus our original light machine guns, there are now 12 in total. As for rifles, each puppet soldier brought two back with him. The rest are weapons, ammunition and food. The most important ones are
There are more than 100,000 rounds of bullets and more than 8,000 kilograms of grain, all of which are refined grains!"
"As for the prisoners, I just counted them. Including those we captured on the way to break out, there are 248 people in total!"
Wang Ping was very satisfied with the result: "Yes, with these weapons and prisoners, the combat effectiveness of our new regiment will be increased by at least 50%!"
"Captain Yang, how is the training of the new recruits in the new company? In the battle in Shimiao Town last night, we lost more than a dozen comrades. If we don't get replacements, the two companies will exist in name only, and we have so many weapons.
But there are no manpower to use!" Wang Daoguang hesitated and replied: "Captain, you only need to leave me five veterans, and the rest will be replenished for the main force!"
"Okay!" The smile on Wang Ping's face became even wider.
"Captain Xiong, Commander Xiao, and Chen Dong, you all heard it! Go to Company Commander Wang immediately to ask for troops. The two main platoons of the two companies must be fully staffed. Each main platoon is equipped with two machine guns, and each company is reinforced.
A heavy machine gun team, the directly affiliated team's organization remains unchanged, the artillery company will first meet the organization of an artillery platoon, and then take action immediately. As expected, we will still have action tonight!"
At the Japanese brigade headquarters in Linfen City, Major General Matsumoto was furious in the war room.
Just now, Major Ida sent a telegram of apology to the headquarters.
Although Major General Matsumoto had no intention of killing his old rival in a single battle from the beginning, the performance of his troops on the front line was too poor.
The nearly ten times superiority in troops not only failed to surround them, but also allowed them to escape, and he himself suffered a loss of troops!
More importantly, the new regiment was able to calmly take away all the weapons, ammunition and supplies captured in Shimiao Town when they retreated.
In the view of Major General Matsumoto, this is simply a shame for the imperial army and a shame for the empire.
Seeing that Matsumoto seemed to have finished venting, the chief of staff dared to stand up and ask: "General, the new regiment has disappeared again, what should we do next!"
"Also, in the three reinforced squadrons commanded by Major Ida, 286 Imperial troops were directly killed in battle, and many Imperial troops were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness. This means that our two squadrons have no mobile troops."
"If the Eighth Route Army emerges to attack the strongholds around us at this time, Linfen City will not have the troops to reinforce the strongholds under attack!"
"Bageya Road, Ida is a stupid pig!" Matsumoto cursed loudly.
After he finished cursing, his eyes returned to the sand table in front of him, his brows furrowed and he said nothing.
After five minutes, he still hadn't spoken, so the chief of staff couldn't bear it anymore and made a suggestion.
"General, if it doesn't work, we will retreat. As long as the imperial army that entered the mountain withdraws, the remnants of the new regiment operating outside the mountain will not be able to continue their activities, and they will have to be forced into the mountain again by us!"
"We cannot retreat. The encirclement and suppression of the remaining troops of the new regiment in the mountains has reached a critical moment. If we retreat now, all previous efforts will be in vain!" the deputy chief of staff immediately retorted.
In order to prove what he just said, the deputy chief of staff continued to report: "The imperial army that entered the mountain has lost an infantry squadron and two companies of the imperial army. Such a large number of troops must not die in vain!"
"General, I think we should wait a little longer!"
"Still waiting, I object, we can't wait any longer, otherwise the security in Linfen will become worse and worse!" The chief of staff insisted on withdrawing the troops!
"The new regiment captured four of our strongholds in just two nights. This is because we have mobile troops in hand."
"Now that the mobile troops are gone, maybe they can capture four more of our strongholds in one night!"
The deputy chief of staff immediately retorted: "General, I think that although the remnants of the new regiment have successfully broken through, they no longer have the strength to continue attacking our stronghold!"
"Although we lost last night, we must have caused a lot of casualties to the New Regiment. I am sure that their troops are running out, otherwise the New Regiment would not have used guns to force the captured puppet soldiers to surrender when they retreated.
They deliver supplies, weapons and ammunition!”
"So, as long as we strengthen our alert, the new regiment will definitely not be able to continue attacking our strongholds. Even if they attack, they will only have the strength to attack those small strongholds! And we can completely abandon those small strongholds before the Eighth Route Army attacks and concentrate our forces to defend medium and large strongholds.
, ensure our control over important villages and towns in Linfen!"
"Then wait a little longer!" Major General Matsumoto finally made a decision after hesitating for a long time.
