In a valley in the north of Linfen, Xiao Yunshan led the battalion of more than 80 remnant soldiers and ran for a day and night, finally asking the Japanese and puppet troops to pursue them.
"Battal Commander, the radio station was destroyed by the Japs, and our contact with the regiment has been cut off!" the guard platoon leader ran to Xiao Yunshan and reported with a painful look on his face.
"If it's broken, it's broken!" Xiao Yunshan didn't care too much.
In a few days, the losses of the troops were too great. Xiao Yunshan seemed to have become accustomed to it, whether it was in terms of troops or equipment.
The instructor analyzed with a stern face: "If the radio station is gone, it will be gone. The worst we can do is snatch it from the Japs in the future. What I am most worried about now is our current situation. Those who have been chasing us these past few days must be the Japs' special forces."
Troops, only they can defeat us in such hilly areas and make us lose our temper. Battalion Commander, we must solve this problem, otherwise our Second Battalion will definitely be dragged to death by them!"
Ma Dongyun, the fourth company commander, added with a solemn look: "Being chased and beaten by the Japanese all the time has greatly affected the morale of the troops. Many soldiers have begun to think that there is no future with us, and they are quite deserters!"
Zhou Tao, the fifth company commander, directly retorted: "The Japanese special forces are not that easy to deal with. We tried every possible method along the way, including ambushes, making traps, and laying mines. However, not only did we not
If you kill a few Japanese special forces, you will suffer heavy losses!"
"My opinion is, even if you are being chased by the Japs, don't easily fight with their special forces. Otherwise, our troops will lose even faster!"
Zhou Tao's words made several people unconsciously shut their mouths.
Although the words were unpleasant to hear, raising others' ambitions and destroying his own prestige, what he said were all facts.
At this time, instructor Wu Yanrong couldn't help complaining: "It would be great if the direct team was here!"
"The direct team is our new regiment's special forces. Even if they can't kill the Japanese special forces behind us, they can help us ask the pursuers behind us to have a good rest. We have been fighting and rushing since we were divided.
So tired, everyone needs a rest!"
Xiao Yunshan frowned and said with regret on his face: "Our radio station is broken, otherwise I will send a telegram to the regiment leader now and ask for the direct team to come over!"
Suddenly, a soldier rushed over: "Batalion Commander, there is a situation. It seems that a Japanese reconnaissance team is coming!"
"It must be the Japanese special forces. The troops will gather and move immediately~" Xiao Yunshan frowned and made a judgment.
Ma Dongyun, who was holding back his anger, suggested: "Batalion Commander, give me a platoon, and I will stay and kill them!"
"No..." Xiao Yunshan refused without hesitation.
"This Japanese reconnaissance unit must be a Japanese special force. We fought like this a few days ago. What was the result? Not only did we not capture the Japanese reconnaissance unit, but we attracted the main force behind the Japanese reconnaissance unit and lost our troops. I will never allow it.
This happens again!"
At this time, Ma Dongyun suddenly showed a firm expression on his face and gritted his teeth and replied: "Battalion Commander, if the main force of the Japs is attracted, I will lead them to retreat away from the main force and cover the main force's breakout and transfer!"
Xiao Yunshan was moved, but also very hesitant.
He only has this few troops. If he loses another platoon and his beloved general Ma Dongyun, Xiao Yunshan will not be able to bear it, both emotionally and rationally.
Ma Dongyun was anxious: "Battalion Commander, just agree! This is the only way for us to get rid of the Japanese and puppet troops pursuing us!"
"Okay, I'll give you a platoon of thirty people. We still have five light machine guns, so I'll give you three. Remember, you only need to hide the Japanese and puppet pursuers in a direction away from the main force before they retreat.
return!"
Ma Dongyun gritted his teeth and replied: "Please rest assured, battalion commander, and promise to complete the mission!"
What surprised Xiao Yunshan was that after he led the team for almost half an hour, there was no sound of gunfire behind him.
A bad premonition quickly appeared in Xiao Yunshan's mind.
The cautious Wu Yanrong couldn't help but remind him: "Battalion Commander, could something have happened to Company Commander Ma?"
Wu Yanrong did not directly say that Ma Dongyun might have betrayed the revolution or run away with his troops. However, anyone with a discerning eye could immediately hear the hidden meaning behind this sentence.
Xiao Yunshan frowned and refused: "No, Captain Ma is an old revolutionary. He has been through the Long March. This difficulty will definitely not be a problem for him!"
"Batalion Commander, Captain Ma is back!" Suddenly, the voice of the guard platoon leader came from behind.
Then he saw Ma Dongyun rushing toward him with a person.
Getting closer and closer, and not long after, Li Wen's figure appeared in Xiao Yunshan's field of vision.
Seeing the Japs uniform Wu Yanrong was wearing again, everyone understood. The Japs investigation team that just appeared was not the real Japs, but the direct team that everyone had been waiting for day and night!
"Battlemaster Xiao, the regiment leader asked me to come over to support you. You have lost contact for such a long time, and no one in the regiment is not worried about you!" Li Wen introduced as soon as he saw the exhausted Xiao Yunshan.
After some pleasantries, Li Wen's expression became serious, because the situation facing the Second Battalion was far more severe than he imagined.
"Battle Commander Xiao, there is indeed a Japanese reconnaissance team behind you, but we killed it. The uniforms and equipment of the team directly under your command belong to the team directly under the Japs!"
Seeing that the bullet belts of many subordinates behind Xiao Yunshan were empty, Li Wen immediately ordered: "Comrades, give all the extra bullets to Battalion Commander Xiao and replenish them to the Second Battalion!"
Then he analyzed Xiao Yunshan: "Captain Xiao, I think there is only one way to change this passive situation of being beaten."
"To fight, and to win the war, we must eliminate a few more Japanese special forces so that they will be afraid of us and not dare to get so close to us. In this case, the space for the troops to move will be greatly increased!"
Xiao Yunshan immediately agreed: "I agree, but if your direct team doesn't come, we alone are no match for the Japanese special forces."
"Now that you are here, I can breathe a sigh of relief!"
"The remaining troops of the Second Battalion are here. From now on, including me, we will all listen to you. As long as we can scare the Japanese, we will no longer be passively beaten!"
On a hilltop a few kilometers away, a squadron of Japanese soldiers gathered together to rest and replenish their strength.
Two Japanese army officers with the rank of captain gathered together and, with the help of a lantern, stared at the map and pointed.
It is impossible for an infantry squadron to have two captains, but there are two captains here, so one of the captains definitely does not belong to this squadron.
In addition to the captain of the infantry squadron, another captain is the captain of the first squadron of the special forces group that cooperates with the operation.
Suddenly, a second lieutenant came out of the darkness and said: "Captain, the soldiers of the first detachment were broken into pieces. Their bodies were hidden in the woods one kilometer away. All the soldiers' uniforms and weapons were taken away!"
"Baga has been chasing for several days, and the Eighth Route Army can't do anything to our reconnaissance team. Why do you suddenly have the strength to quietly eliminate one of our reconnaissance teams!" the squadron leader frowned and asked.
