Chapter 1147 The Japanese Army's Conspiracy Is Not Small
The cavalry assault was too fast.
The forty or so little Japs had just turned around and retreated a few dozen meters when the cavalry company had already rushed in front of them.
"kill……"
The company commander raised his saber and took the lead in charging towards a Japanese sergeant.
His reaction speed was very fast, he raised his rifle with both hands, trying to block the incoming saber with the rifle body.
"boom……"
Amidst the crisp sound of metal colliding, the company commander's forceful strike was blocked by his rifle.
But the impact of the saber on the Japanese was too great, and he took several steps back before he could stand firm.
At this time, the company commander who missed the hit quickly turned the blade of his blade, pointed it at the sergeant's right hand holding the rifle, and slashed it hard.
"ah……"
A scream was heard, and four fingers of the sergeant's right hand holding the barrel of the gun were cut off by a saber. Blood gushed out like a fountain, instantly dyeing the barrel of the gun red.
Taking advantage of the opponent's unbearable pain and holding the gun with only one hand, the company commander turned the blade again. Under the action of inertia, he pulled the saber forward hard, and a gash of more than a foot long was cut on the soldier's chest.
, blood spurted out directly from the edge of the knife, and then the sergeant stared at his big eyes and fell to the ground on his back.
The company commander didn't take a second look at the Japanese corpse. He rushed towards a little Japanese with a panicked face not far away with his saber dripping with blood.
Without any pity, he raised his saber and struck hard, and the Japanese fell to the ground in fear...
The same fight occurs in every corner of the battlefield.
There were about forty Japs, more than fifty cavalry, and many soldiers, and the battle was over before they could kill the Japs.
"Surround the prisoners, eliminate the remaining Japs, and then retreat..." the company commander turned his horse's head and shouted while rushing towards the prisoners who started to cause trouble on the mountain road.
There were only nine Japanese riflemen and a dozen lightly or seriously injured people being carried by prisoners on the road.
Seeing that the main force of the Japs had been killed, the prisoners next to them suddenly became more motivated and no longer afraid of them.
A group of more than ten people pounced on these Japs and killed them with fists and gun butts.
More than a dozen lightly and seriously wounded soldiers were not spared. When the cavalry company reached the battlefield, they were all beaten to death with rifle butts by the angry prisoners.
After the cavalry company surrounded all the prisoners, the company commander shouted at the top of his voice: "Brothers of the Jinsui Army, we are from the cavalry battalion of the Eighth Route Army Garrison Regiment, and we have been ordered to come to rescue you."
"There are little Japs everywhere now. The Japs' planes will come over after dawn to help in the battle. In order to ensure everyone's safety and not be attacked a second time, I ask everyone to retreat with me. I will release them according to everyone's wishes when it is safe."
Everyone leave."
I saw that many of the prisoners showed reluctant expressions, especially some of the officers in the middle of the team.
The company commander showed no mercy. He raised his box cannon and fired a shot into the sky, then ordered in a threatening tone.
"From now on, everyone will obey my command."
"Those carrying rifle bolts and ammunition go first, then those carrying mortars and heavy machine guns, and finally those carrying rifle rifles."
"You are the prisoners rescued by our Eighth Route Army from the Japs. It cannot be ruled out that some of you have surrendered to the Japs and become traitors. Therefore, everyone must pass the review before they can be equipped with guns and bullets. If someone does not obey the command and wants to do it privately,
If you break away from the team and run away, the guns in the hands of our Eighth Route Army are not for nothing, and all of them will be punished as traitors."
"When the time comes, it will be useless for you to complain to the World War II zone, and your death will be in vain."
In front of the enemy headquarters of the garrison, more and more attacking troops rushed here to join Li Hao. He Jun, the commander of the Hunyuan Independent Battalion, temporarily served as Li Hao's deputy, keeping statistics on the harvests brought back by the latent troops and the results achieved.
By three o'clock in the morning, all the latent troops had been withdrawn, and the list in He Jun's hand was full.
Walking up to Li Hao, he reported excitedly: "Captain, the results of each latent unit have been calculated. We won the battle tonight."
"Four mountain guns, two infantry guns, 21 mortars, and more than 1,900 artillery shells were seized."
"22 heavy machine guns, equipped with 50,000 rounds of heavy machine gun ammunition."
"32 grenades, 46 light machine guns, 1,983 rifles, 106 pistols of various types, nearly 150,000 rounds of supporting ammunition, more than 5,000 hand grenades, and 593 puppet troops were captured, and mules and horses were seized
55 horses.”
Li Hao's expression was calm. This result was already within his expectation.
Then he stared at He Jun and asked: "Where are the casualties? Are the casualties of the latent troops large?"
He Jun quickly replied: "The independent battalion suffered more casualties, with 268 people sacrificed and 89 seriously injured and losing combat effectiveness. The cavalry battalion had fewer casualties, with 148 people sacrificed, 26 seriously injured and 98 horses lost."
"All the seriously injured people were carried back by the prisoners for us, and rescue operations are underway."
"As long as there are no accidents, more than 80% of the seriously injured personnel can recover and return to the team."
It was only then that a smile appeared on Li Hao's face.
With more than 500 casualties, more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers and more than 1,000 puppet troops were defeated, and a large amount of weapons and equipment were also seized. This battle was indeed very profitable.
But he was not so excited that he jumped up, because his reason told him that good luck played a large part in the victory of the garrison in this battle.
If the Japs hadn't divided their forces to pursue the Jinsui Army, and the heavy weapons and light infantry marched separately, the latent troops would have lost every opportunity to defeat them. The results of the battle would certainly not have been so great, and the casualties of the troops would not have been so small.
After slowly calming down, he looked at He Jun and continued to ask: "Is there any news from the 2nd and 3rd Battalions? Are they in place?"
"There are also commandos operating near Datong. Have they heard any news?"
"We made such a big noise in the east and south of the city. It's impossible for the little Japs in Datong City not to know about it."
"With their vengeful style, they will definitely find ways to retaliate after suffering such a big loss."
"We must judge the enemy's revenge plan in advance, and then be prepared, and the soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth. Otherwise, no matter how great the results we achieve, the enemy will take it back, and the bamboo basket will be in vain."
Just as He Jun was about to speak, communications platoon leader Zhou Liang hurried over.
"Captain, the commando team needs an urgent call!"
"More than two thousand puppet troops suddenly broke out of Datong City more than half an hour ago and established a defense line five kilometers southeast of Datong for an unknown purpose."
"More than two thousand people came out again. Their plans must be quite big. How are their equipment? Do they carry heavy weapons?" Li Hao asked with a frown.
"The Japanese army brought four mountain guns, two infantry guns, and a squadron of mortars. The puppet army also brought a mortar company with six mortars." Zhou Liang replied.
Li Hao's frown deepened.
Staring at the map, he analyzed: "We have enough troops, heavy weapons, and aircraft support after dawn. We can advance and attack, and retreat and defend. We must find out the target of this Japanese and puppet army as soon as possible, so that we can arrange in advance to prevent it from happening."
Accident."
"Reply the telegram to the commando team, try to catch a few tongues, and figure out the plot of these Japanese and puppet troops."
"In addition, a commando unit will be sent to sneak into Datong City to cause destruction."
"Excluding the more than 2,000 puppet troops that just came out, the remaining garrison in Datong City is less than 2,000 people. There must be defense loopholes everywhere in the city."
"The commando team went in and blew up two military points to attract the attention of the Japanese and reduce our combat pressure outside the city."
