Bageya Road, it has been so long since we contacted the assault forces?" The commander rushed into the telecommunications room and questioned the chief of staff inside.

The Chief of Staff looked very ugly, and he looked at the commander who was hurried in and said with a worried report: "Sir, please calm down! No matter how we call, the radio station equipped by the assault forces did not respond at all."

"Biyi is asking the radio operators to try to contact the radio stations equipped by the three infantry brigades, hoping to find out the latest situation of the assault forces through them."

"Have you contacted them?" the commander continued to ask, his tone of speaking more anxious than before.

The Chief of Staff shook his head helplessly: "There has not been contacted yet. The three infantry brigades each equipped with a radio station. No matter how we call them, they did not respond... Even if there is any accident in them, it is impossible that all radio stations will be left without any news at the same time. Bei Zhi suspected that something happened to them!"

"Impossible!" The commander also had this premonition, but reason told him that this was impossible.

Perhaps in order to make myself more confident and to make my rebuttal more convincing, the commander immediately gave a long list of reasons: "Our assault troops have more than 4,000 people, and the remaining troops of the Independent Regiment have only more than 1,000 people, and the firepower advantage is also on our side. Moreover, the main force of the Independent Regiment is fighting against the National Rescue Army, and there is no sign of returning to aid. I can't imagine what will happen to them?"

The Chief of Staff couldn't understand the reason, but he knew that the four radio stations equipped by the assault forces could not have an accident at the same time.

Now there is no news at the four radio stations at the same time. Except for the accident in the base of the independent regiment of the assault force, he can't think of any other reasons to explain it.

At this time, the commander with a solemn look suddenly said: "We can find air force if the radio station cannot be contacted. They have been escorting over the assault troops. They must know the situation on the battlefield!"

The Chief of Staff shook his head and explained: "If this happened more than an hour ago, the Air Force would definitely know. But the accident just happened, and the Air Force wouldn't know what happened to them on the battlefield?"

"The plane they escorted was insufficient fuel and retreated to the airport more than an hour ago. In addition, it was almost dark, so they did not send planes to the battlefield again."

"Bei Zhi just thought of sending planes to the battlefield to investigate the situation, but the time is no longer allowed to deploy the air force!"

After hearing this, the commander frowned even deeper. Faced with the fact that he was fighting, he had to overturn his judgment just now, and then cursed with a calm face: "Baga! This accident will not happen sooner or later, but it will happen again after the aviation troops evacuate the battlefield. It must be a premeditated accident!"

"What should we do next?" the chief of staff asked hesitantly.

"Of course, we must find our assault troops as soon as possible..." the commander replied without hesitation.

"The radio station cannot contact them, the aviation force cannot dispatch planes, and the accident happened in the base of the independent regiment, so we can only place our hopes on the intelligence department."

"Immediately launch all the intelligence officers who are lurking in the base of the Independent Regiment, find the assault troops at all costs, find out their true situation, the more detailed the better."

After a staff officer took the order and left, the commander continued to order: "Let the intelligence personnel who monitor the Independent Regiment and the National Salvation Army report the battle situation there immediately. I want to determine whether the main force of the Independent Regiment and the National Salvation Army are all there!"

On the battlefield where the Independent Regiment ambushed the Japanese and puppet army assault troops, six cavalry companies were dispatched, and the Japanese and puppet troops that had been bombed became even more chaotic.

Wherever there are many Japanese soldiers gather, the cavalry company will rush to wherever they gather.

Under their storm, the Japanese were completely destroyed. Looking at the entire battlefield, it was difficult to find a full-scale infantry team gathered together...

At this time, more than a thousand infantry soldiers of the independent regiment joined the battle in companies.

They followed the cavalry and were unstoppable. They divided the remaining Japanese and puppet troops into six in less than twenty minutes.

The chief of staff rushed into the command center with excitement, and reported with a smile from a distance: "Captain, our division and siege of the Japanese and puppet troops has been completed. After seeing our attacking troops, more than 500 puppet troops directly raised their hands to surrender. When we were still interspersing, we seized the large baggage trucks that the Japanese army had abandoned on the pipeline..."

"Fifteen of the big trucks were loaded with food, and the remaining thirteen were loaded with other supplies, weapons and ammunition. The cannon shells were loaded with eight large trucks, all of which were more than 1,500 rounds! Not only did we make up all the shells we had just fired, but we could also add five or six hundred rounds..."

The expression on the commander's face was very serious, and he turned his head to look at the Chief of Staff to remind him: "Don't be too happy too early."

"We just took advantage of the raid, and there were more than 600 cavalrymen working together to fight, so the battle went so smoothly."

"Now that the enemy and us have fought together, it is difficult for the cavalry to raid the Japanese as before. The next battle will be dominated by infantry attacks and cavalry raids as supplemented."

"There are more than a thousand Japanese on the battlefield. If we lose cavalry and artillery, our combat troops are only more than a thousand, and our military strength advantage is not in our hands, so the real tough battle has just begun."

"After fighting, we can not only fight quickly, but also wipe out the enemy at the lowest cost."

"If we can't fight well, we will not only be able to wipe out the Japanese devils who have been divided and surrounded by us, but the participating troops will also suffer heavy casualties, so our previous efforts will be in vain."

After hearing this, the smile on his face froze. He looked at the commander and replied seriously: "The next battle will indeed become more and more difficult to fight."

"The Japanese have just been dispersed by the cavalry and have to fight on their own. Our troops launch attacks on companies. When they encounter Japanese, they first assemble light machine guns that are several times more powerful, then use grenades to explode, and finally the infantry assaults and use bayonets to solve the battle..."

"Now the cavalry can't rush, and the Japanese scattered in the encirclement will definitely become more and more concentrated. It will be even more difficult to concentrate their superior firepower and defeat them one by one."

The regiment commander shook his head and ordered: "As long as we are willing to use shells, we can still concentrate our superior forces and firepower to defeat the Japanese."

"All artillery troops are ordered to join the battle, and concentrate artillery fire to attack the Japanese who are gathered in the encirclement. They must not be allowed to join together."

"The infantry participating in the battle left half of the troops to continue to divide and surround the Japanese, and the remaining half of the troops formed a commando, broke into the encirclement separately, concentrated their superior firepower to eliminate the Japanese who were blown up by shells, and continued to consume the enemy's troops bit by bit."

"The cavalry troops patrol and guard in platoons to eliminate possible fish that may appear on the battlefield."

The front command of the National Salvation Army, like the Japanese Army Commander, Zhou Cheng was also waiting for news.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Deng Jinghua suddenly appeared at the command office and found Zhou Chengru with an excited report: "Captain, good news, the Independent Regiment has taken down the Japanese and puppet troops that invaded Yangquan. The participating troops are cleaning the battlefield. Except for more than 800 puppet troops who were captured, all the remaining more than 3,000 Japanese and puppet troops were wiped out."

"The Japanese wing captain was chopped in half by a cavalry..."

A smile flashed quickly on Zhou Cheng's serious and nervous face, and he shouted happily: "It's great. I was worried that the Independent Regiment was insufficient before, and I was afraid that they would not have such a big appetite. I did not expect that I also underestimated the Independent Regiment's combat effectiveness."

"Without these more than 3,000 Japanese devils, not only will the threat we face after taking Yangquan County be greatly reduced, but the independent group will also easily open up a situation in the new base area and gain a foothold."

"Call back to the independent group immediately, congratulations on their victory. Next, we will "snatch" all the villages and towns in Yangquan from them according to the scheduled plan, and ask them to prepare..."

As soon as Deng Jinghua left, Zhou Chengru looked at Chen Zhengyu's order: "Chief of Staff, the Independent Regiment ate more than 4,000 Japanese and puppet troops in one bite. After the Japanese got the news, they would definitely feel that our National Salvation Army provided them with support."

"In order to dispel the Japanese army's idea, they believe that we have really turned against the Independent Regiment and did not jointly deal with them. The troops launched a general attack on the Independent Regiment's defensive position one hour later..."

"By the way, let the cavalry troops return before dawn, and after dawn, they will be active in the Yangquan area we have occupied, so that the Japanese intelligence personnel can see them..."

In the Taiyuan Japanese Army Headquarters, the intelligence officer hurried into the war room with a very heavy expression.

Before the commander and chief of staff could speak, they lowered their heads and reported: "Sir, we have found the assault force..."

"They were completely wiped out at the base of the Independent Regiment, and more than 3,000 imperial troops were all killed in battle. When the intelligence officer arrived at the battlefield, the battle had ended. Now he was trying to find a way to collect information about the battle process. No specific news has been sent back yet!"

The commander thought that the assault troops might have an accident in the independent regiment base, but he did not expect that they would be destroyed.

He grabbed the collar of the intelligence officer, shouted with disbelief: "This is impossible. The independent regiment base has no military force that can eat our assault forces in one battle. You must have made a mistake!"

The intelligence officer couldn't breathe, and his face was quickly turned red.

Taking advantage of the inactivity of the commander letting go, he inhale and reported: "Everyone said everything just now is true..."

"The assault troops were really wiped out, and none of the Imperial Army survived. Two or three hundred Imperial Army died, and seven or eight hundred remained as prisoners. Intelligence personnel saw the Independent Regiment take away the captured Imperial Army, and also saw more than a thousand Eighth Route Army cleaning the battlefield and collecting the bodies of the Imperial Army..."

"thump……"

The commander sat on the chair with his butt, showing a panic expression of silence.

The assault troops of more than 4,000 people were completely destroyed, which was an ending he had never imagined.

At this moment, his mood was the same as the sudden disappearance of a reinforced infantry corps in the National Salvation Military Defense Zone.

There are confusion, doubts, and fears about unknown forces...

Because the battle in front of us has so many similarities with the battle before.

The Chief of Staff was also scared, and he was stunned for a while before he realized it, and then asked the only reason he could think of.

"Are we deceived by the National Salvation Army? They appeared to join forces with us to deal with the Independent Corps, but they secretly cooperated with the Independent Corps to cheat us. Did they send troops to reinforce the Independent Corps?"
