"Let's retreat, go to the next position, and fight in the old way. I don't believe that the Japanese will just watch their troops suffer casualties and remain indifferent!" Captain Xiao Yuan frowned and made the decision.
Half an hour later, the second round of five shells was successfully fired, all hitting the target. The shelling effect was even better than before, killing and wounding at least ten Japanese puppet troops!
However, the Japanese and puppet troops on the road still made no movement and continued to march as usual!
"Go to the next position and continue fighting. I even got into a fight with the kid on the road today. I don't believe they can endure being beaten passively without fighting back. This is not the fighting style of the kid!" Xiao Yuan ordered with a stern face.
!
To his disappointment, the artillery team fired two rounds of five-round rapid fire but failed to attract the Japanese attacking troops!
Xiao Yuan's face was gloomy and scary. This was the last trick he could think of for the commandos to attack the Japanese!
If this trick doesn't work, then the commando team will have no choice but to watch the Japanese and puppet troops on the road and continue to kill Lingqiu!
"Keep firing!" Xiao Yuan decided to try again!
However, the artillery team leader did not immediately carry out the order. He hesitated and reminded: "Captain, we have already fired twenty rounds of artillery shells. When we set off from the regiment headquarters, we only brought thirty rounds with us. Now we only have ten rounds left.
Do you really want to fight out?"
Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment, but quickly responded, shaking his head and answering.
"If there are so few, then we won't fight!"
"Ten rounds of artillery shells must be reserved for critical moments. There are too many accidents on the battlefield, and fighter planes are fleeting. Don't be frustrated when there are fighters in front of you but we don't have artillery shells!"
"As for the little devils on the road, let them be arrogant for a while!"
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the walls of Lingqiu City were finally in sight, appearing in the sight of the Japanese and puppet troops!
The brigade commander, along with the chief of staff and the brigade headquarters staff, were the first to enter the city!
The original Lingqiu garrison headquarters brand was changed to become the former enemy headquarters of the brigade!
The chief of staff held the casualty report that his subordinates had just counted in his hand. After reading it, his face was full of shock!
The way he looked at the brigade leader also changed, his eyes were full of admiration and adoration!
He took a deep breath and replied: "Sir, after statistics, we only suffered 58 casualties after a day's march, of which only 33 were from the Imperial Army, and only 19 Imperial Army members were killed directly in battle!"
"This is so surprising!"
"If I remember correctly, the brigade headquarters and the military headquarters have sent reinforcements to Lingqiu in the past. Every time the troops arrived at Lingqiu, they would suffer heavy casualties! But this time our losses were less than one squad. This is definitely a miracle.
!β
"General, your layout is really powerful. Although the Independent Regiment is cunning, every move he makes cannot escape your eyes!"
"I believe that you will be personally commanding this raid in Lingqiu City, and the independent regiment's counterattack tactics will not escape your eyes. The final victory in this winter raid will definitely belong to us!"
The commander of the Major General Brigade also had a happy face!
This ending was also something he didn't expect!
When the troops were attacked when they left the city, he was mentally prepared for the troops to fight to Lingqiu and injure an infantry squadron, but the actual casualties were less than one infantry squad, not even one-third of what was expected!
This is also an unexpected surprise for the brigade leader!
The dissatisfaction and anger caused by the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack on the road were wiped away at this time!
I am very happy to answer: "It can be seen from today's march that although our opponent the Independent Regiment is very powerful and very cunning! But as long as we are cautious enough and use the right tactics and tactics, their plots will be defeated in the face of the powerful strength of the imperial army."
Itβs impossible to succeed, the final victory must belong to us!β
"Order, the troops take time to rest tonight!"
"The garrison will prepare the food immediately. It must be the best. Let all the warriors participating in the war eat well and sleep well. Tomorrow morning, they will march into the independent regiment base with high morale and kill them!"
The Hongquan Village Independent Youth League Headquarters, which used to be very lively, seemed particularly deserted tonight!
The Japanese and puppet troops are pressing down on the border, and all the logistics organizations that the regiment headquarters can move into the mountains have already moved into the mountains!
Except for the guard company, the regiment headquarters remained at their posts and there was not a single extra person!
At the regiment headquarters, regiment leader Li Hao is giving final instructions to the political commissar and Zhao Wen!
"Political Commissar, after the Chief of Staff and I leave, the base area will be handed over to you!"
"Your first priority is to protect the people in the base area!"
"The Japanese are attacking our independent group this time with a vengeful mentality. Once civilians fall into their hands, it will definitely lead to catastrophic consequences. If not, massacres of villages may occur, so you must
Be sure to remember!β
Wang Hong thought for a moment and replied: "Don't worry, captain!"
"I have already discussed with Battalion Commander Zhao of the Independent Battalion that the three companies of the Independent Battalion will be organized into platoons, and each platoon will be responsible for protecting three villages not far away!"
"No matter which village is targeted by the Japs, they will rush to the battlefield within an hour, stop the enemy, and cover the people to continue moving to the mountains!"
"We have given these troops a death order. Unless they are all killed in battle, no common people will fall into the hands of the Japanese!"
"When the common people are not in danger, these troops will take the initiative to attack and use guerrilla warfare to attack and harass the Japanese and puppet troops who enter the base area!"
"The Secret Service Company, as the general reserve of the remaining troops, is ready to respond to possible accidents at any time!"
"The deputy commander of the new recruit company is commanding us to temporarily protect our logistics organization as we move into the mountains!"
"If the frontline combat troops lose too much strength, I will pull them out and replenish the combat troops to participate in the battle!"
Li Hao nodded and affirmed: "There is no problem for the time being, then it's settled!"
"If anything unexpected happens in the base area, we will contact you via telegraph! In half an hour, the chief of staff and I will lead the troops and set off!"
In Lingqiu City, just after dawn, the rallying horns sounded from various military camps in the city!
After a night's rest, the Japanese and puppet troops came out of the barracks fully armed as if they had been given a shot of vitality!
After eating the sumptuous breakfast prepared by the garrison, the puppet troops of more than 5,000 days began to leave the city one after another, and then completed their assembly outside the city!
The major general brigade leader and the chief of staff stood on the city gate tower, and three captains with the rank of major and lieutenant on their shoulders stood in front of them, all with expressions of excitement and eagerness to try!
"Everyone, in this winter sweep, can we take down the Independent Regiment in one fell swoop and eliminate the imperial army, a serious enemy? I hope it depends on you, so I leave it to you all!"
"Before sending troops, I have one more question that needs to be explained: after entering the independent regiment base area, all the brigade must cooperate with each other and execute the battle plan in accordance with the battle plan. No unit can break away from the main force and advance alone!"
"When we kill the independent group, we must not give the independent group a chance to kill us in turn!"
"Another point is that after entering the independent regiment base area, all units must send telegrams to the brigade headquarters to report their respective situations in the morning, afternoon and evening!"
"Okay, that's all I have to say. Now I order the troops to set off immediately!"
