"Call Xiao Wang from the reconnaissance team right away. I have an important question!" Wang Ping, who reacted from his deep thoughts, immediately ordered.
Soon, a scout in a puppet uniform stood in front of Wang Ping.
Just as he was about to salute, Wang Ping waved his hand and said: "This is a battlefield, there are not so many rules, and no one can salute to their superiors on the battlefield. I'm calling you here urgently. I want to know about the Japanese who entered the mountain to surround us."
When did they evacuate the mountain? Did everyone evacuate?"
"They've all been withdrawn, a total of two brigades of Japs and several regiments of puppet troops!" the scout affirmed firmly.
"The first Japs to withdraw from the mountain came out around six o'clock in the afternoon, and the latest came out at eight o'clock. The Japs' raids were divided into eight groups, a total of eight infantry squadrons. I could see them all clearly!"
Wang Ping's face showed an expression of sudden realization!
"That is to say, the Japs retreated from the mountain after driving all day on the mountain road, rested outside the mountain for less than two hours, and then came towards us again and continued on their way!"
"If this is the case, even if the little devil's body is made of iron, it will not be able to bear it. No wonder the Japanese and puppet troops following us do not have the physical strength to chase us, and some of the puppet troops are already falling behind because they cannot support us!"
Having said this, Wang Ping suddenly thought of something? He continued to ask.
"By the way, you just said that the Japs in the mountain have two infantry brigades in total. We have an infantry brigade here, where is the other one? Do you have any news or intelligence?"
"They stayed directly on the edge of the mountain to strengthen the blockade to prevent us from entering the mountain again!" the scout immediately replied.
Wang Ping's face suddenly became solemn again: "If this is really the case, we will be in trouble!"
"Two infantry brigades and a large number of puppet troops blocked the mountain together. With so many prisoners and supplies in our hands, and the lack of combat troops, it will definitely be difficult to re-enter the mountain."
"Into the mountain?" Xiao Yunshan immediately stared at Wang Ping and asked.
"Captain, we are going back!"
Wang Ping affirmed without hesitation: "When the Japs surrounded us with heavy troops inside the mountains, we were able to fight so well because there were not enough troops outside the mountains. Now that the Japs have come out of the mountains and continue to stay outside, once they are stuck, the whole army will be defeated."
destruction!"
"Xinyi Tuan only has this little wealth, but it can't stand the trouble!"
"Also, we have achieved quite a lot of results during this period. The most urgent thing is to digest these results, especially those captured soldiers!"
Xiao Yunshan also showed an expression of sudden realization on his face: "I understand, leader!"
Then he stared at Wang Ping and asked: "Then what should we fight next?"
"Two brigades and a large number of puppet troops blocked the entrance to the mountain. Even if we forcefully open a gap in the blockade, the troops will suffer heavy losses, which is not cost-effective!" Wang Ping analyzed with a frown.
"So, we must move some of the Japanese and puppet troops on the blockade away from there!"
Xiao Yunshan's eyes lit up and he asked: "Captain, do you have any idea?"
"I just thought of it!" Wang Ping affirmed.
"Aren't the Japanese and puppet troops chasing us behind us a tired force? Let's attack them. Even if we can't annihilate them all, we must kill more of them. Let the Japanese in Linfen City know that we can use just one brigade to encircle and suppress them outside the mountains.
We have too few troops, maybe we will eat another infantry squadron!"
"So, from now on, we will stop running and use the remaining three or four hours before dawn to greet the Japanese who are chasing us!"
Xiao Yunshan was stunned for a moment, and then reminded with a worried look: "Commander, think again, the total number of Japanese and puppet troops behind us is more than a thousand, even if they are a tired force, if we take the initiative to attack, it will be a waste of time!"
"
"It's true that an egg touches a stone!" Wang Ping did not deny this reminder.
But then he changed the subject and continued: "But sometimes we can achieve great results even if we hit an egg against a rock. The key depends on how we fight?"
Having said this, a mysterious smile quickly flashed across Wang Ping's face.
A team of more than a thousand Japanese and puppet troops marched in two groups to pursue the remnants of the new regiment.
Although Lieutenant Colonel Noda gave the order for the entire army to shrink and huddle up to pursue.
But they were really tired. As they walked, the queue lengthened from more than 500 miles to one kilometer, and many puppet troops began to fall behind.
"Sir, the enemy is five hundred meters in front of us. Why don't we speed up and attack directly from behind them!" A squadron leader next to Noda suggested. Although his face was flushed from exhaustion, he still showed an eagerness to try.
expression.
I had been chasing the new group for almost half an hour, and many times Major Fujino could even see their tails.
However, one can imagine the frustration and anger Noda felt in his heart as he watched the tail of a new group of retreating troops disappear in front of him, then reappear, and then disappear again... but he couldn't eat it.
He had wanted to do this for a long time. However, the subordinates around him could barely keep up with the pace of the pursuit, let alone speed up further.
As a result, this idea appeared in his mind again and again, and Noda Zhongsa gave up on her again and again.
Faced with his subordinates' request to fight, Noda, who had been holding back his anger and had no place to vent his anger, immediately asked angrily: "As long as your people still have the energy to speed up, I will allow you to speed up and launch an attack directly from behind the new group.
!”
The squadron leader lowered his head helplessly. As the squadron leader, he knew the current situation of the army better than Noda.
At this moment, a subordinate rushed over: "Sir, the artillery and heavy machine gun squadron are starting to fall behind. Why don't you stop and wait for them!"
""Stop? Do you think the remnants of the new regiment will stop and wait for us? What if we finally catch them and let them run away?" Noda retorted without hesitation, and then rejected his subordinate's proposal.
"Tell them to keep up with the troops as much as possible. It will be dawn now, so there shouldn't be any accidents!" Noda looked helpless and made the decision to divide his troops.
In a bush less than fifty meters away from the road, dozens of Eighth Route Army soldiers were panting, but no one spoke. Everyone was lurking here quietly, staring at the Japanese and puppet troops on the road slowly moving away from them.
Rush in front of you.
"Captain, the Japanese did not notice that we had divided our troops, and are still pursuing the platoons and squadrons pretending to be the main force of the company!" Xiao Yunshan reported with a sigh of relief.
"I won't find it for sure!" Wang Ping said confidently!
"It was such a long distance, it was dark, and the Japanese were exhausted. They would never have imagined that the new group they were chasing only had ten people!"
"Now that the Japanese have been fooled, it's our turn to take action!"
"Let everyone take the time to rest. After all the Japanese and puppet troops pass, we will pick out their laggard troops to fight!"
