"Old Li, look, the Japanese have retreated, retreated." Zhao Gang said to Li Yunlong half an hour after the Japanese retreated.
Li Yunlong immediately got up from the ground, took the telescope handed from Zhao Gang and looked towards the location of the Japs. He could see that the Japs troops were decisively retreating. When the Japs retreated, they were accustomed to leaving the puppet troops behind. The Eighth Route Army troops
Even if we catch up, there will still be puppet troops to resist.
Seeing the Japanese formation like this, Li Yunlong could be sure that the Japanese troops really wanted to retreat. Otherwise, if the Japanese continued to attack, it would not be like this at all. But why did the Japanese choose to retreat so easily? Could it be because of the behavior of the independent regiment?
Is the firepower strong enough? Li Yunlong is certain that this may be one reason for the Japanese's retreat, but it will not be the main reason.
"Damn, these devils are so smart. They must have known that our 129th Division was heading towards Liao County, so they chose to retreat."
"According to the time, the leading troops of our 129th Division should have entered Liao County. The Japs must have discovered this, and these Japs would choose to retreat." Li Yunlong said with some helplessness. These Japs were very worried.
Cunning, the retreat was a little too decisive. If it were later in the evening, Li Yunlong would definitely have the soldiers of the independent regiment follow up, entangle these Japs, and prevent the Japs troops from retreating easily.
But now, even if the Independent Regiment takes the initiative to launch a battle against these Japanese troops, it will have no effect. These puppet troops are placed behind, which means that they are abandoned by the Japanese troops. Li Yunlong can imagine that after the Independent Regiment rushed up, the Japanese decisively gave up.
These puppet troops used these puppet troops to block the pursuit of the independent regiment.
"What should we do now?" Zhao Gang asked again.
Zhao Gang was a little hesitant. He could also see the Japanese's plan. It was not the right choice to rashly send out the soldiers of the independent regiment to pursue them.
"Damn it! How is it possible for these devils to retreat easily? They did not consult me before retreating! No matter what, our independent regiment will take a hard bite to make up for our losses in the battle.
!”
"Zhang Dabiao! Take your battalion to catch up and order the puppet soldiers to put down their weapons and surrender. If they don't want to, kill them all! Catch up with the Japanese retreating tail and find a way to get some good things back for me!" Li Yunlong's face said.
With a somewhat angry expression, even if these Japs had many troops, Li Yunlong could not let them go easily.
After initiating a fight, you still want to retreat intact. How could such a good thing happen in this world?
Soon, Zhang Dabiao led the first battalion of soldiers. Even if the soldiers had not fully rested, the combat effectiveness of the first battalion should not be underestimated. Zhang Dabiao was also confident enough to get enough good things from the Japanese, and he was independently grouped by them.
After being targeted, how can these little devils escape so easily without paying a certain price?
"Is it really possible for Zhang Dabiao and his battalion to be together? The Japanese have an entire infantry brigade. If the Japanese are really provoked, then Zhang Dabiao and the soldiers of the first battalion will be in danger." Zhao Gang asked with some worry.
Zhao Gang also knew Zhang Dabiao's ability, but considering the strength of the Japs, he was still a little worried about the safety of the first battalion. The Japs were not fools. From the puppet troops deployed in the rear, it could be seen that these Japs had done a good job before evacuating.
With sufficient preparation, the independent group's pursuit would definitely be within their expectations.
At least in Zhao Gang's opinion, if he were a Japanese, he would definitely be fully prepared and not reveal any flaws.
Li Yunlong shook his head and laughed directly, "Old Zhao, don't worry, this guy Zhang Dabiao is still good at fighting, especially when he leads a battalion."
"Zhang Dabiao is not a fool. If there is really no way to deal with the Japanese, he will definitely not take action easily. Don't worry, our Battalion Commander Zhang Dabiao will not have any problems."
Li Yunlong didn't have the slightest worry about Zhang Dabiao. He was very confident in Zhang Dabiao's ability. After going through so many battles without any problems and living well, how could Zhang Dabiao not have any ability? Besides,
The fact that Li Yunlong can let Zhang Dabiao be the commander of the first battalion is enough to prove Zhang Dabiao's ability. His independent regiment does not raise waste!
Seeing that Li Yunlong had such confidence in Zhang Dabiao, Zhao Gang stopped saying anything. He believed in Li Yunlong's judgment. In terms of combat, Li Yunlong seemed to have made no mistakes. In terms of combat command, Zhao Gang felt that Li Yunlong was still very reliable.
In the direction where the Japanese were escaping, the puppet soldiers looked at the 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment rushing towards them with trepidation. Compared with the puppet army, the 1st Battalion did not have as many troops as the puppet army. But in terms of fighting will, the 1st Battalion was stronger than those puppet soldiers.
The army was too strong. Facing the charging Zhang Dabiao and others, these puppet soldiers had no intention of fighting.
If these puppet soldiers hadn't waited for clear orders, then they might have chosen to give up resistance long ago. But soon, these puppet soldiers had to choose to shoot. They could see the Japanese soldiers not far behind them raising their guns.
Aiming at them. Noticing this, the puppet soldiers hid behind bunkers or lay on the ground and started shooting without accurate aim.
However, even if these puppet troops did not aim accurately, they still caused some trouble to Zhang Dabiao and others.
"Damn! These traitors dare to shoot, fight back! Fight back immediately! Kill these traitors and puppet troops!" Zhang Dabiao ordered loudly.
The soldiers of the first battalion counterattacked quickly. Unlike the puppet troops, the soldiers aimed for a certain period of time before shooting. This allowed the soldiers to kill many puppet troops in one round after shooting.
When the puppet soldiers saw their own casualties and the departure of the Japanese soldiers, they suddenly lost the idea of continuing to fight. Some puppet soldiers found their white underpants and raised the white flag danglingly, watching.
After the puppet soldiers raised the white flag, Zhang Dabiao ordered the soldiers of the first battalion to stop shooting. After the puppet soldiers dropped their weapons, the soldiers of the first battalion rushed forward and tied up the puppet soldiers.
Zhang Dabiao did not waste too much time on these puppet soldiers. He could see that the Japanese soldiers were fleeing quickly. If he did not pursue them, he would not be able to catch up with these Japanese soldiers.
"Let's go! Let's continue chasing those escaping Japs! Damn it, you're wasting my time." After Zhang Dabiao cursed, he led the other soldiers of the first battalion to quickly chase in the direction where the Japs troops left.
Li Yunlong has made a guarantee in front of him that these devils will not be allowed to leave easily no matter what!
After twenty minutes of pursuit, Zhang Dabiao led a battalion of soldiers to successfully catch up with the fleeing Japanese soldiers. Through constant harassment, the fleeing Japanese soldiers were so annoyed that they finally had no choice but to drop all their burdens.
, and then escape.
After seeing the Japanese soldiers throwing down all their weapons, equipment and supplies, Zhang Dabiao asked the soldiers to give up the pursuit of the Japanese soldiers. These gains were enough.
