After finding a suitable camp, Liu Gen and his soldiers quickly organized it and kept making disguises around it.
Liu Gen has always been alert enough to the Japs and will not show any contempt. He knows that the Japs will definitely not give up easily after suffering a defeat. Even if the Japs need time to gather more troops, they will still be there.
During this period, they continued to launch attacks on the troops of the 386th Brigade. Of course, given the character of Li Yunlong and others, they would not be able to escape easily if the Japanese came.
Yes, in the eyes of Li Yunlong and others, the Japanese who dare not continue fighting with them are fleeing. Naturally, Li Yunlong and others will not let such a thing happen. They will not give the Japanese such a chance. For Li Yunlong and others,
, the little devil is completely a mobile ammunition depot. If they let the little devil go, they will definitely not be able to raise their heads when other people mention this matter in the future.
The brigade commander also had no idea of letting the soldiers rest. He knew that the soldiers were working hard, but there was no way. Compared with the Japanese, the Eighth Route Army soldiers were still lagging behind. They needed to work harder and harder to defeat these Japanese. The brigade commander
I don’t think these escaping Japanese troops can have much impact on Li Yunlong and others. Each regiment has its own artillery company. If the Japanese really dare to stop and fight back, then the artillery companies of each regiment are not vegetarian. Even the artillery companies of each regiment are not free.
If the artillery company can't handle it, don't we still have Liu Gen's artillery team?
However, if it is not necessary, it is better for the artillery team not to take action easily. Every time it takes action, it will consume a lot of artillery shells, and the brigade headquarters cannot afford it.
As the soldiers of each regiment continued to pursue and kill, the escaping Japanese soldiers also dispersed. They fled frantically. Some Japanese soldiers hid in the nearest stronghold, but not many were able to successfully escape into the stronghold. The pursuit of the Eighth Route Army soldiers
It was too fierce, and they had to pay a high price if they wanted to successfully enter the stronghold. The Japs in each stronghold did not dare to leave the stronghold. When the 386th Brigade and the two Japanese infantry brigades were fighting, they heard the sound of artillery bombardment.
Come.
I know that the 386 Brigade also has artillery troops, and they are quite good. As long as the Japanese in the stronghold are not fools, they will not come out easily. After all, the target of the 386 Brigade is not placed on the stronghold, and the soldiers are more chasing and fleeing.
Once the Japanese soldiers in the stronghold walked out and attracted the attention of the soldiers of the 386th Brigade, and then attacked the Japanese stronghold, it would undoubtedly be impossible for the Japanese to hold the stronghold.
Seeing that the Japanese in the stronghold were very sensible and did not come out to support the fleeing Japanese, Li Yunlong and others let go of the Japanese stronghold. Li Yunlong and others also knew that the Japanese stronghold was a tough nut to crack, and they had an artillery company.
However, if we really want to fight, the consumption of artillery shells is a problem. In addition, the Japanese are constantly gathering troops, and it will not be long before there will be another large-scale raid on the base area. It is naturally unnecessary to remove these Japanese strongholds now.
.
When the troops gathered by the Japs arrive, it will be easy to restore the strongholds destroyed by Li Yunlong and others. In addition, the soldiers of each regiment have experienced hard battles. If they continue to attack the Japs strongholds, it will be easy for the soldiers to defeat them.
Casualties occurred, which made Li Yunlong and others give up such an idea.
The battle continued. Li Yunlong and others led the soldiers to constantly search for traces of the Japs in this area. As long as they found a small Japs unit that was alone, they would rush in and kill them. When the Japs guarding the stronghold saw this, they could only
Being able to huddle in the stronghold, even if there is not much food in the stronghold, they dare not leave the stronghold and can only tremble in the stronghold.
Two days later, Lucheng, the headquarters of the Japanese 36th Division, where Hashimoto Najiro and Oda Ichiro had successfully dragged back from the battlefield, appeared.
Facing the attack of soldiers of the 386th Brigade, Hashimoto Najiro successfully escaped with an infantry squadron of Japanese soldiers. While escaping, he happened to encounter the remaining artillery unit led by Oda Ichiro. Oda Ichiro was the captain of the artillery team and a second lieutenant.
, during the battle, he received orders from Hideki Yamanaka to hide with part of the artillery. But who knew that their location was discovered by the Eighth Route Army artillery team. Faced with the precise attack of the artillery team, the artillery team led by Oda Ichiro suffered heavy casualties.
Less than twenty people managed to survive the battlefield.
At this time, Oda Ichiro's face was extremely gloomy. In any case, under his leadership, the artillery team was defeated by the 386 brigade artillery team and lost all combat effectiveness. If it were not for the encounter with Hashimoto Naku after escaping,
If he brought the squadron soldiers with him, he might also die on the battlefield. Looking back on the defeat that day, Oda Ichiro felt that it was a complete nightmare, a nightmare he would never want to recall!
"Captain Hashimoto, it's up to you to explain to the officers why the mopping up of your two infantry brigades failed! The combat effectiveness of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is not weak, but according to the intelligence obtained by the headquarters, during this period of fighting,
The casualties of the 386th Brigade are not small. With the strength of your two infantry brigades, how can you not be an opponent?" In the headquarters, a colonel asked coldly.
There is not only this Colonel in the headquarters, except for the division commander and chief of general staff of the 36th Division, all the other headquarters personnel are here. There are so many people here, which is enough to show that the headquarters is very concerned about the situation.
After a failed sweep, both infantry brigades were defeated head-on by the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. This should not happen! Especially during the battle, fighter planes were sent to support!
It was also because the two infantry brigades dispatched by the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade did not have any major problems. Otherwise, it would not be the division headquarters who came to ask Hashimoto Najiro and Oda Ichiro, and they would definitely be alarmed by then.
More from the top! On weekdays, the 36th Division has always looked down upon the combat effectiveness of the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade. Now it’s better. The soldiers of the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade have no problems, but their 36th Division has this problem.
, which was somewhat unacceptable to the officers in the headquarters.
"Your Majesty Colonel, this is how it is. Our artillery was killed first, and there was no artillery support. At the same time, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army dispatched the artillery team. The firepower was very powerful. The firepower points we deployed were constantly killed, and it was impossible to resist the Eighth Route Army.
Attack." Hashimoto Najiu said with a sad expression.
Oda Ichiro was speechless, but his expression couldn't help but become sad. He once again recalled the battle two days ago. It was really a nightmare!
"Second Lieutenant Oda, is that true?" Colonel looked at Ichiro Oda and asked directly.
Oda Ichiro nodded vigorously and said: "Your Majesty Colonel, Captain Hashimoto is right. Our infantry of the artillery team was accurately hit by the artillery team of the Eighth Route Army and lost any combat effectiveness! I suspect that there is something hidden by the Eighth Route Army in our infantry brigade.
The area where our artillery team is hiding is very secretive and will not be easily discovered! Unless there is a spy from the Eighth Route Army in the infantry brigade, which exposes our position, the Eighth Route Army's artillery team can achieve such a precise strike!"
The expressions of the officers in the 36th Division Headquarters changed drastically. They looked at Oda Ichiro with a trace of solemnity in their eyes. They believed that Oda Ichiro should know the consequences of saying this, but he still chose to do so.
, could it be said that there are really Eighth Route Army spies in the infantry brigade? If this happens, then this defeat will be nothing, and the matter will become much more serious.
"Second Lieutenant Oda, as a warrior of the Japanese Empire, if you say this, you need to take responsibility for your words! Are you sure that there are spies in the infantry brigade?" Colonel asked with a solemn expression. The atmosphere in the headquarters was
It became solemn, and everyone's eyes fell on Oda Ichiro. They didn't expect such a thing to happen, let alone Oda Ichiro to say such information!
Oda Ichiro puffed up his chest and said loudly: "Your Majesty Colonel, I am willing to take responsibility for the words I said!"
"I am a veteran of the 36th Division. I was sent here when the division was first formed. The division fought many times with the Eighth Route Army. As an artilleryman, I clearly know the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army's artillery. I did not get specific information. They
It’s impossible to achieve such a precise strike!”
