Seeing the remaining Eighth Route Army troops rushing out to counterattack like mantises trying to block a car, the deputy captain's serious face revealed a smile.
In his eyes, such a counterattack was more like committing suicide, so he shouted happily.
"Sir, there are only a few dozen people left on the Eighth Route Army, less than fifty, they are finished!"
Not only did Lieutenant Commander Ida not show any smile on his face, he was instead sullen and very solemn.
Every move of the Eighth Route Army in the encirclement shocked him again.
Faced with defeat, they did not choose to surrender, but fought to the end.
An army that is not afraid of death is very terrifying. He is now very happy that he can kill them in this battle and avoid future troubles. Otherwise, letting them run away and take root in Lingqiu will definitely lead to danger and eventually become a disaster.
The imperial army was in serious trouble.
Nuo Da’s spiritual hill will also become eternally peaceful!
"Boom boom boom..."
Suddenly, several explosions sounded on the battlefield.
Ida quickly raised his telescope and looked at the battlefield.
You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.
After the counterattacking Eighth Route Army and the Imperial Army strangled each other, they did not follow any rules.
Pistols, rifles, shoot whenever you get the chance.
Several warriors suffered a loss. Their rifles with bayonets pointed out were shot to death by the opponent with pistols, and they fell to the ground with a pair of eyes fixed in death.
Unfortunately, after being stabbed down by the imperial army with a bayonet, as long as he did not die on the spot, he would directly fire the grenade and die together with the imperial army next to him.
"Boom boom..."
In the blink of an eye, two more explosions sounded on the battlefield.
The rapidly rising fireball enveloped several imperial soldiers in an instant, and then they fell to the ground with a scream.
"Bageya Road, the Eighth Route Army is not fighting, they are committing suicide attacks and will perish together with the imperial army!"
"The attacking troops retreat immediately and separate from them. The artillery is ready to fire and kill them with artillery shells!"
"If we continue to fight, even if we win, we will suffer heavy casualties. It's not cost-effective!"
"Woooooooo..."
As soon as the Japanese retreated, the screams of shells streaking across the sky could be heard.
Liu Wenshan's expression changed, he glanced at the dozen or so soldiers left around him and shouted.
"The Japanese are firing, retreat quickly, return to your position..."
"Boom boom..."
As soon as he finished speaking, an explosion rang in his ears.
Six artillery shells and more than ten grenades smashed together and exploded around him.
In the violent explosion, before Liu Wenshan had time to lie down, a hot wave of air swept over from behind, pushing him to the ground, and then he lost consciousness!
An hour later, the sound of gunfire on the battlefield completely stopped.
Looking at the bomb craters and Eighth Route Army corpses everywhere in front of him, Lieutenant Colonel Ida finally showed a long-lost smile.
"Sir, all the Eighth Route Army soldiers in the encirclement have been killed, and not a single one is alive. A total of 129 Eighth Route Army corpses can be confirmed on the battlefield! There are still many corpses that were damaged by artillery shells, and there is no way to count them!"
"But we didn't seize many weapons, ammunition and food at the station!"
"This group of Eighth Route Army soldiers had no intention of surviving from the beginning. As soon as they were surrounded by us, they burned their food and destroyed most of their ammunition. The rest were used on the battlefield."
"Except for more than fifty good guns, all others were blown up!"
Ida Zhongzuo waved his hand and replied: "As long as we can kill the Eighth Route Army in Lingqiu, it doesn't matter if we don't capture a single bullet!"
"How many casualties did the imperial army have? How many troops are left to continue fighting!"
"According to intelligence, in addition to the Hongquan Village garrison, the Eighth Route Army also has a secret camp in the mountains, where they store all the food, weapons and ammunition they captured from the imperial army, and the wounded are also recovering there!"
"Now that their main force has been killed by us, we must make persistent efforts to kill the wounded to avoid future troubles!"
"You also saw the battle just now. The Eighth Route Army is very powerful in combat. If we can't prevent future troubles, then we will be raising tigers to cause trouble!"
"For the sake of Lingqiu's tranquility and the complete elimination of the anti-Japanese elements here, we must find them and annihilate them all!"
The adjutant quickly replied: "The casualties are a bit heavy, but there will definitely be no problem in going into the mountains and killing the remaining Eighth Route Army wounded!"
"After all, we have already killed all their main troops, and the remaining wounded may not even be able to hold their guns!"
"Exactly how many casualties were there?" Lieutenant Colonel Ida ignored the compliments from his subordinates and asked bluntly.
The adjutant stopped talking nonsense and answered quickly: "The artillery and the two heavy machine gun teams suffered no casualties!"
"The infantry squadron seconded to us by the Watanabe Brigade suffered slightly smaller casualties, only more than thirty people!"
"One of our own infantry squadrons suffered a lot of casualties. Two of the squadrons were almost completely destroyed due to frontal attacks, and the remaining squadron also suffered more than half of its casualties!"
"A total of 109 people were killed in the battle, and 25 people were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness!"
"The two infantry squadrons still have two hundred and thirty men who can continue fighting!"
"That's enough!" Lieutenant Colonel Ida affirmed.
Then start giving orders.
"Stay all the lightly and seriously injured, while the others rest for half an hour, and then set off into the mountains to find their secret camp!"
"They have been traveling between the secret camp and Hongquan Village for a long time. It is impossible to erase all traces. As long as we search carefully, we will definitely be able to find some clues. Finally, we will find their secret camp and catch them all!"
"Hi! Let's make arrangements now!"
The independent company's secret camp, the company's more than 30 seriously wounded soldiers, more than 100 prisoners undergoing rehabilitation, and the logistics team are all concentrated here.
In order to keep an eye on those prisoners and protect the food and ammunition stored by the independent company in the secret camp, the logistics team set up a special guard platoon.
The mountain pass that must be passed to enter the secret camp has twice defeated the Japanese and puppet attacks. After the independent company captured Hongquan Village, it did not give up the construction here.
All the cement seized from the Japanese and puppet army stronghold in Hongquan Village was pulled down here.
Reconstruct the original purely civil bunker that was blown up by the Japanese and puppet troops.
The core area is repaired with cement and stone, and the surface is covered with logs, large rocks, and soil, and then camouflaged with vegetation.
On the surface, it doesn't look much different from the previous pure civil fortifications, but its ability to withstand strikes has increased exponentially.
Ordinary mortars can't do anything to it!
The bunker has become stronger, but the number of troops defending the bunker has not decreased.
Two concrete bunkers are always equipped with four light machine guns, and a squad of soldiers are stationed here around the clock.
"Squad leader, someone is rushing over, it seems to be the guard next to the instructor!" A soldier in the machine gun bunker reminded nervously.
The squad leader glanced outside the bunker and frowned. A touch of worry quickly flashed across his face, and then ordered!
"Two people will go down immediately and help him over... If you are so anxious, something must have happened outside the mountain!"
