The Eighth Route Army who attacked him was elusive and lost heavy weapons. The infantry was also seriously reduced and his morale was low. He must be the one who suffered losses if he continued to fight!

The Japanese captain gave a retreat order very rationally.

But the Yangquan Independent Group's appetite is much greater than the Japanese imagined.

In the eyes of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army without heavy weapons is like a tiger without fangs, and its combat effectiveness is greatly weakened.

It's dark now, and it's an excellent opportunity to take advantage of my night battle.

If you watch the Japanese withdraw back to the county town, you'd be so sorry for God's chance to give the Independent Group.

Except for the wounded, all the remaining troops were dispatched, and they launched continuous attacks on the Japanese in platoons.

If you kill a Japanese devil, I will injure two Japanese devils, and he will kill two Japanese devils...

The captain, who was first exposed to this kind of sneak attack method, had no countermeasures, and had only one thought in his mind, and quickly retreated back to Yangquan.

Under the chasing of the Eighth Route Army, the more they retreated, the more they were embarrassed, and the fewer the soldiers under them were retreating.

When he returned to Yangquan County, his subordinates had been reduced to less than one infantry squad.

At the command of the Yangquan Japanese Army Corps, the brigade leader rushed here as soon as he entered the city.

What I had today was so embarrassing. The Eighth Route Army did not eliminate a few of them, but he suffered heavy casualties and almost couldn't even come back.

After the report, he stood in front of the brigade commander with his head down, waiting to be criticized.

Half a minute passed, and the brigade commander did not get angry...

A minute passed, and the brigade commander still did not get angry...

The captain was very puzzled. With his understanding of the brigade commander, he had suffered such a big defeat, even if he was not punished, a scolding would definitely be necessary.

Could it be that the brigade commander has changed his nature today, or has encountered something good to dilute the impact of this defeat on the brigade commander?

The captain thought this in his heart, and then carefully raised his head, trying to see some clues from the brigade commander's face.

I don’t know if I don’t look at it, I’m shocked when I see it.

The brigade commander's face was already red due to anger, and his fists were pinched tightly, and he was very angry, but the captain didn't understand why he would rather hold it in than exclaim it? This was completely in line with the brigade commander's previous style.

At this moment? Only the Chief of Staff understands in his heart why the brigade commander is like this.

Major Asakawa and Major Fangjing jointly sent a telegram to remind the brigade command: The Eighth Route Army and the National Salvation Army, which were active in the occupied area, had already known in advance that the Imperial Army was going to sweep them, and they also gathered heavy troops to wait for it? Waiting for the Imperial Army to fall into the trap? All the sweeping troops must be more vigilant and do not divide their troops to sweep the defense zone? Give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of...

But the brigade commander and himself thought that the telegram was a sensational statement by the two captains, in order to shirk their responsibility for their defeat? He also sent a reprimanding telegram to Pingding as soon as possible? He asked them to report the battle process truthfully.

Before the second telegram to Pingding City arrived, bad news came from the infantry brigade supporting Yangquan.

A reinforcement squadron led by the brigade leader himself only came back one small team, and the remaining troops were all eliminated by the Eighth Route Army...

The brigade commander felt that he had been slapped in the face. He had just vetoed the reminder telegram from Pang before? The front-line troops used facts to tell him that the content on the telegram was true.

It is precisely because of this reason? The brigade commander was so angry that he couldn't come out, showing an expression of anger and frustration.

Seeing that the brigade commander was still not speaking, the Chief of Staff could not wait.

Facts have proved that the information reported to the brigade command by Major Asagawa and Major Koi Kazui are both true.

The field troops that the brigade reinforced other counties must have been heavily attacked by the Eighth Route Army and the National Salvation Army. Every moment, a large number of soldiers were killed and injured. The later the brigade command center issued a retreat order to them? The greater their losses will be.

He couldn't help but reminded: "General, do we want to send telegrams to other reinforcements now? Let them be more vigilant, especially if they cannot divide their troops? Prevent them from being defeated by the Eighth Route Army and the National Salvation Army."

Major General Honda only realized after hearing this: "You are right... send them a telegram right away..."

"If there are still troops outside the city to sweep the National Salvation Army and the Eighth Route Army, they must retreat to the county town as soon as possible!"

"The Eighth Route Army is so powerful in night battles? The troops will definitely pay a huge price to stay in the field for one night? I will wait until dawn before leaving the city to sweep."

After giving the order, he turned his attention to the captain in front: "Didn't you hear my order just now?"

"Hurry and send someone to contact other troops who have not returned to the county town yet? Let them march quickly and withdraw back to the county town!"

The first battalion commander of the Eighth Route Army Yangquan Independent Regiment arrived here without stopping. He ran into the command center and reported excitedly before he stood firm: "Captain, political commissar, this battle was fought too well today!"

"The Japanese have very strong combat power, especially the infantry's gunshots. They shoot at us more than 100 meters away and rarely shoot empty guns. Almost one bullet kills us a warrior."

"When the fight first started, the soldiers suffered a lot of losses. At least two squads of soldiers were beaten to death by the Japanese, all of whom were shot in the forehead."

"I will adjust my tactics immediately and prevent the troops from appearing around the Japanese. I will use cold guns, cold cannons and mines to deal with them, so that their marksmanship will be useless."

"A few hours later, the morale and morale of the Japanese were greatly affected. I took the opportunity to gather the three heavy machine guns supported by the regiment headquarters to the first battalion and attack the Japanese once."

"The Japanese were beaten all the way and could not find an opponent if they wanted to fight back. They must be very frustrated!"

"I saw us taking out three heavy machine guns at once, as if we were injected with chicken blood, and we attacked the heavy machine gun platoon at all costs."

"In order to kill the heavy machine gun platoon, the Japanese who had been reluctant to divide the troops all day long finally divided the troops."

"In order to separate the Japanese infantry and heavy firepower troops even more, I asked the heavy machine gun platoon to throw a heavy machine gun every four or five kilometers, making the Japanese mistakenly think that we were about to be forced to a dead end, and then pursued forward desperately."

"At 6 pm, the distance between the Japanese infantry and the follow-up troops had been nearly four kilometers. I concentrated two strengthening companies to ambush their follow-up troops, ended the battle in fifteen minutes, cleaned the battlefield, and retreated."

"The Japanese who lost their heavy firepower troops immediately began to retreat. It was already dark at this time. I directly sent all the troops out and asked them to attack the Japanese at night in platoons. As a result, only a small team of Japanese retreated back to Yangquan City. All the remaining Japanese were wiped out by us, and a large amount of weapons and ammunition were seized!"

"Not only did all the three heavy machine guns that were thrown away by the heavy machine gun were seized, but also three mortars, three heavy machine guns, four crooked handles, five grenade cans, and 127 38 large covers..."

"Captain, can you tell me this time that I can give two mortars and two heavy machine guns, and let the first battalion set up a machine gun platoon?"

The team leader smiled very happily: "I played well! I didn't expect that one proactive attack could achieve such a great effect."

"You kill more than 200 Japanese devils here, and the results of the 24th battalions are definitely not much worse! With the results of the National Salvation Army in the south of Yangquan, a field infantry brigade of the Japanese army must have suffered more than half of the casualties. In this way, they will have no troops if they want to attack our base in the future!"

The political commissar nodded repeatedly when he heard this: "I was worried about this attack."

"After all, we just finished a big battle and the losses of the troops have not been made up yet. We will join another big battle immediately, and the risk is still quite large."

"And our opponent is the field troops that the Japanese army had just transferred back from the front line. They have very strong combat power. If they fight rashly, they will definitely suffer a loss."

"I didn't expect that not only did we win, but the results were still so great."

The regiment commander replied: "It is certain to win. The Japanese are indeed very powerful in combat. We don't know them, but the Japanese also don't know us. In this case, it depends on who has a better tactics and tactics, and who can better fight the opponent."

"I am very confident in our guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare, and I am also very confident in the cooperation between us and the National Salvation Army. I will definitely catch the Japanese off guard and defeat them."

The political commissar did not comment: "When it comes to war, you are indeed better than me, and your vision is more unique than me. If I were asked to command, I would definitely not dare to let the troops take the initiative to attack the Japanese occupied areas."

"Now the field troops transferred back from the front line have suffered heavy casualties. The garrison that had just added a large number of new recruits has not yet formed combat effectiveness. We will definitely not take the initiative to provoke the war in a short period of time. We finally have time to rest!"

The leader shook his head: "I'm afraid I can't rest for the time being!"

"The proposal of Captain Zhou of the National Salvation Army said: Offense is the best defense, so we must continue the battle in front of us."

"This fight can always take the initiative in the battlefield in our hands. The field troops that the Japanese army had just transferred will be in a passive state of being beaten and cannot actively attack us. They can also drag the battlefield in the enemy-occupied area, allowing the people in the base to have more time to produce, restore and expand the strength of the base."

"The Japanese army's newly reorganized garrisons cannot make them able to form combat effectiveness so easily. By taking the initiative to attack continuously, they can spend more time controlling the occupied areas."

"A platoon of infantry can kill one Japanese devil in a day, and a dozen infantry can kill more than a dozen Japanese devils in a day, and a squadron in a day."

"The Japanese have limited troops. After fighting, they can only replenish them from the rear. We will eat their two squadrons in a month. I see what else they can use to attack our base in the future."

The political commissar was so bright that his eyes shone by the leader, and he wanted to start the execution now.

But he also found another problem: people will be tired, and the same is true for the troops.

The last anti-sweeping campaign ended, and the troops were involved in this attack before they had time to repair it. The soldiers must be exhausted, and it also takes time to fill the gaps in the team.

If the troops still don’t rest and continue to fight, can the soldiers hold on?

Moreover, war will kill people. If there is not enough time for the troops to replenish their troops and restore their combat effectiveness, the troops will definitely fight fewer and weaker the combat effectiveness will be.
