There are interceptions in front and pursuers behind, making the sky and the earth inoperable. This is the real situation that Major Kawabe is facing now.
Hearing the shouts of death getting closer and closer to him, Major Kawabe, who didn't think of any solution, could only grit his teeth and order.
"Break through, disperse and break out, and as many people as you can go back!"
"No matter who goes back, they must immediately report to the headquarters that at least half a regiment of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared in Fengyun Town!"
As soon as this order was issued, the fate of these Japanese and puppet troops was doomed.
The unobstructed plain terrain around them gave the Eighth Route Army no place to hide when fighting guerrilla warfare. It also gave the Japanese and puppet troops who broke out no place to hide, and were completely exposed to the firepower of the Eighth Route Army!
In less than half an hour, the people brought by Major Kawabe were eliminated.
He himself died miserably because he had a command knife hanging on his waist and was taken care of by the Eighth Route Army who were chasing him.
Three light machine guns shot at him at the same time. In the blink of an eye, he was hit with more than a dozen bloody holes in his body. He was killed on the spot and could not die again.
"Battal Commander, all the Japs have been wiped out, and one Japs major was also killed. The puppet soldiers captured 116 prisoners, and all the others were wiped out!" Instructor He Yun rushed to the front of the Rong Army and reported with excitement.
"Exactly how many Japanese are there?" Rong Jun asked, staring at He Yun with his eyes shining brightly.
"Two infantry squads, plus an artillery squad, and a heavy machine gun squad, a total of more than one hundred and thirty!" the instructor calculated the answer in his mind.
"Where are the casualties? Are our casualties big?" Rong Jun asked.
"It's a little bigger this time!" The smile on He Yun's face disappeared immediately, and he replied in a serious tone.
"Especially in the encirclement and annihilation battles outside, many Japanese soldiers fought against us with the idea of being able to support us even if they died, and even directly detonated grenades and died with our soldiers... The six companies that participated in the battle lost a total of 143 people, including those who died.
There are 73 people, and the rest are more or less injured!"
"The casualties are a bit high, but they are still acceptable. After all, this is the first battle since the formation of the army!" Rong Jun's face also became heavy.
But it didn't last long before calm returned.
Seeing several company commanders coming over, he did not hesitate and analyzed directly: "The total number of Japs in the Fengyun Town stronghold is about two hundred. Now we have killed more than one hundred and thirty people, and there are still seventy left."
If there are multiple puppet troops, there will still be one company left!"
"I decided to pursue the victory and capture the Japanese stronghold in Fengyun Town in one go, and then take a rest. Finally, according to the commander's order, I will eliminate all the Japanese and puppet troops in Fengyun Town and take Fengyun Town back from the hands of the Japanese and puppet troops!"
"Do the soldiers still have physical strength, and how is their morale? Can they continue to fight?"
Three battles and three victories, totaling up to the elimination of nearly two hundred Japs. Although such a victory cannot be called a great victory, it is still very useful in boosting morale.
When the soldiers of the six companies were captured by the Japanese, they were almost all oppressed by the Japanese, and many of them almost lost their lives.
Now, these Japanese who once oppressed him have been eliminated by him, and his casualties are very small. Every living soldier feels the pleasure of revenge in his heart.
At this time, not only did everyone not feel tired, but they were clamoring to continue to go out and kill the Japanese to avenge themselves and their comrades who had died unjustly at the hands of the Japanese.
At the Japanese brigade headquarters in Linfen City, ever since Wang Ping suddenly appeared with the main force of the new regiment, Matsumoto's unusually heavy face had not shown any smile.
All these changes happened so fast that he felt like he was in a hurry.
"Hasn't the main force returning to Tianxin Town arrived yet?" Matsui asked anxiously as he stared at the combat sand table.
"There's still one hour!" the chief of staff replied hesitantly.
"The aviation reconnaissance report shows that after the Eighth Route Army captured the Tianxin Town stronghold, it was directly divided into three and attacked along the three roads surrounding Tianxin Town to sweep away the artillery towers and strongholds we built based on the roads!"
"In order to avoid unnecessary losses, I have ordered all the garrison troops along the line to voluntarily abandon the gun towers, concentrate on the strongholds, and hold on to the strongholds. The defenses there are stronger and should be able to withstand it for a longer time!"
Major General Matsui frowned and ordered: "Where are the aviation troops? They are useless in the north of Linfen anyway. Let them go to Tianxin Town to cover the infantry and hold the stronghold!"
"As long as they persist until the main force passes, the Eighth Route Army's offensive will be blocked, or even be surrounded by us on the battlefield, and be wiped out bit by bit by us."
The chief of staff shook his head and replied: "General, the aviation force has gone, but it is basically useless?"
"Nani Matsui asked immediately.
"Did they also divide their forces? No, if they want to attack our stronghold, their forces must be concentrated together!"
The chief of staff explained: "These Eighth Route Army troops are different from those we have encountered before. When faced with our aviation forces, they not only did not evade, but instead used light and heavy machine gun fire to counterattack and shoot in the air!"
"For safety reasons, the aviation force can only carry out high-altitude strafing and bombing. However, fighter jets are different from bombers, and there is no accuracy in carrying out high-altitude bombing. In the morning, one of them hit a stronghold controlled by the imperial army, blowing up the gun towers and helping the Eighth Route Army to obtain
Get off our stronghold!"
"After this incident happened, I have ordered from my humble position that if the aviation force does not have the opportunity to drop bombs at low altitude, then it should not launch an attack on the Eighth Route Army on the ground and only undertake reconnaissance missions!"
Matsui, who was already very dissatisfied with the aviation force, became even more dissatisfied after hearing these words. He frowned and cursed loudly.
"Stupid pigs, the aviation force is a bunch of idiots. They don't accomplish enough and fail more than they should. It's a bad road!"
"I will personally sue them to the Commander!"
"Chief of Staff, since the aviation force cannot be relied upon, then we must rely on ourselves!"
"Send a telegram to the returning troops and continue to speed up the march. When we arrive at the battlefield, immediately launch an attack on the Eighth Route Army and surround them. But we must be careful. Unless we are absolutely sure, the troops must not easily divide their troops and advance alone!"
"Hi!" Just as the chief of staff was subconsciously preparing to send a telegram, the communications staff rushed in nervously and anxiously.
"General, something happened!"
"Urgent message from the garrison at Fengyun Town: They were attacked by at least half of the regiment of the Eighth Route Army. The troops suffered heavy losses. Please support?"
"Impossible!" Major General Matsui and the Chief of Staff retorted at the same time.
The communications staff officer felt embarrassed for a moment, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted: "But that's what they said in the telegram!"
"The Eighth Route Army that attacked them is the Eighth Route Army that has been operating in the south of Linfen for more than a month. Their garrison captain, Major Kawabe, has been shattered, the entire Zhouzhuang garrison has been wiped out, and only a small group of imperial troops are left to defend the Fengyun Town stronghold.
The Eighth Route Army is equipped with mortars and heavy machine guns and is powerful, so it will definitely not be able to hold on for long!"
The two people opened their mouths, still looking unbelieving.
