Yang Huping and Li Wen personally caught up with the Japanese retreating troops and followed them for half a day before they dared to confirm that the Japanese and puppet troops who had entered the mountains to encircle and suppress them were really retreating and that it was not a conspiracy.
"Comrade Li Wen, what's going on? It's clear that the Japanese have the upper hand in everything. As long as they continue to encircle and suppress us, they will definitely win. How could they suddenly retreat?" Yang Huping asked with a frown.
"It must be the regiment leader! The regiment commander must have beaten the Japanese outside the mountain so much that they had to withdraw from the mountain to encircle and suppress our troops!" Li Wen answered with certainty.
Then he stared at Yang Huping and asked, "Since the Japanese are really retreating, we certainly can't let them leave so easily!"
"Captain Yang, they have been chasing us for so long, and now they are leaving. What do you mean, we have to leave something behind from them?"
Yang Huping's eyes were also shining, but when he thought about the remaining troops on hand, his eyes slowly became gloomy.
"Comrade Li Wen, don't be impulsive!"
"We only have this few people left. Even if the Japanese retreat, they will still be a huge force for us. If we act rashly, I'm worried that not only will we not be able to take advantage, but we will also be bitten by the Japanese!"
Li Wen answered with certainty: "It is true that the Japs cannot move, but the puppet troops who follow the Japs to sweep away our divisions can!"
"Look at the formation of the Japanese, maybe they are worried that no more soldiers will be killed by us on the way back, so we just let our own people go in front, and the puppet troops are behind!"
"The puppet troops are easy to fight, and the Japanese don't care about their life or death. If we can intercept some of them, we can definitely end the battle quickly, and maybe we can capture some prisoners and turn them back into our recruits!"
Seeing that Yang Huping was already moved, Li Wen continued to encourage: "We have suffered such heavy losses this time and urgently need troops to replenish the troops. The new recruits cannot rely entirely on Battalion Commander Zhong, we must also find ways to solve part of it ourselves. After all, Battalion Commander Zhong trains
The new recruits who come out must be divided among three companies, and we cannot let you, Captain Yang, occupy them all by yourself."
"And right now, there is a good opportunity to get new recruits! If you don't seize it, it will be difficult to encounter such an opportunity in the future!,"
Yang Huping was finally persuaded, and a firm expression quickly appeared on his face: "Then do it, Comrade Li Wen, you are good at this, you take command, I will listen to you!"
Major General Matsumoto's telegram to the encirclement and suppression troops was very urgent. All troops must withdraw from the mountain before dark.
He was really frightened during the battle in Fengyun Town, and was frightened by the mysterious and mysterious methods of the Xinyi Group.
If the encirclement and suppression troops cannot come out before dark, Major General Matsumoto is sure that he will lose another squadron tonight for no reason, and it is possible that even more troops will be lost.
In this case, Matsumoto could only put pressure on the encirclement and suppression troops in the mountains and ask them to get out of the mountains as soon as possible.
As long as the encirclement and suppression troops come out of the mountain, Matsumoto is sure that the new regiment will have much less scruples in continuing to attack the strongholds outside the city.
It is for this reason that the squadron leader who received the order would not stop and ordered the troops to march quickly to the outside of the mountain and return the same way as soon as dawn came.
"Da da da..." Suddenly, a burst of machine gun fire sounded behind the Japanese squadron leader.
"Captain, it must be the Eighth Route Army attacking our troops at the rear. Those behind us are the Imperial Army, and they certainly won't be able to hold on for long!" the team leader standing nearby analyzed immediately.
After he finished, he suggested: "How about I take people back to fight against the Eighth Route Army? They were elusive during the entire encirclement and suppression. They finally showed up, so I definitely can't let them go!"
"No!" the squadron leader refused without hesitation.
"We must get out of the mountain before dark. If we stop and fight now, we will definitely fail the mission!"
"Leave one company of the Imperial Army to hold them back. There are not many left behind in the new regiment. One company should be able to hold them back for at least an hour. And with this hour, we can completely rely on Tubal Road.
Harassment and pursuit, successfully evacuated the mountain!"
"Hi!" Although the team leader was unwilling, he could only obey the order.
No squadron commander has the guts to disobey the brigade commander's orders and bear the brigade commander's wrath, let alone a small second lieutenant.
In front of the general, he would not even look at himself as a second lieutenant. It would be easier to kill himself than to crush an ant.
Soon, the puppet troops under attack stopped and organized defense on the spot under the command of the company commander.
"Comrade Li Wen, the Japanese have indeed brought down the puppet troops. If all the puppet troops in a company can be captured, at least sixty or seventy people can be mobilized to join our new regiment!" Yang Huping shouted with his eyes shining.
What Yang Hubing didn't understand was that Li Wen didn't seem satisfied with the result.
"Just one company is enough. The little devil underestimates the appetite of our new regiment!)"
"Captain Yang, given you ten people and two machine guns, are you sure you can kill these puppet troops?"
Yang Huping was stunned for several seconds before reacting, and then affirmed: "No problem, the puppet army is easy to fight, and this is a puppet army without the support of the Japanese, so it is even easier to fight. Find a way to kill the officers among them, and the remaining
All we have to do is let our prisoners go!"
Li Wen immediately made a decision: "Okay, you can pick ten people to stay, and I will catch up with a Japanese retreating force and try to keep one more company of puppet troops. Today we will pick the weak ones, specifically
Fight against the puppet troops!”
Wang Ping, who was lurking in the valley, did not know that the Japanese and puppet troops in the mountains had begun to retreat, nor did he know that Matsumoto of Linfen City had prepared a large net waiting for him to take the initiative to penetrate it.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, before there was any sign of darkness, Xiao Yunshan and Xiong Changhe came together to find Wang Ping.
"Captain, where shall we fight tonight?" Xiong Changhe asked anxiously as soon as he saw Wang Ping.
Then he analyzed and said: "I can finally see it. Except for the Japanese and puppet troops inside the mountain who are mopping up our remaining troops, there are not many Japanese soldiers outside the mountain. And they are scattered in several strongholds. Now we have
Infantry artillery is a good opportunity to defeat them one by one!"
"Commander, why don't Lao Xiao and I split up our troops tonight, each with an infantry cannon, and attack a stronghold separately?"
"Arrogant!" This is Wang Ping's current judgment of Xiong Changhe.
After giving the other party a fierce look, a trace of worry appeared on Wang Ping's face.
Ever since I arrived at the new regiment, the army has almost never lost a battle. Over time, these people under my command have gradually looked down on the Japanese, thinking that the Japanese are not their opponents, and even feel that they can easily kill an infantry company that is not satisfied with the organization.
A squadron of Japanese soldiers.
As a rational commander, Wang Ping knew that once this kind of arrogance and underestimation of the enemy spread among the troops, the blow would be absolutely fatal to the new regiment.
One bad move or one underestimation of the enemy in one battle is enough to ruin the future of the new regiment.
