Chapter 369: This Battle Was Not Fought in Vain (First Update!) )
"Company commander, the seizure statistics are out!" Instructor Liu Wenxuan rushed to Zhao Wen to report, his face full of excitement.
"The little devil must be planning to stick to the stronghold of Anji Town for a long time, and has hoarded a large amount of supplies and ammunition in the stronghold, which is enough for three hundred people to consume for three months, and now it is all cheap for us! There are more than 50,000 catties of grain alone, and more than 50,000 rounds of ammunition of various kinds! ”
Zhao Wen's serious face finally showed a satisfied smile.
With these gains, I can not only make up for today's battlefield losses, but also make a lot of money.
Raising his eyebrows, he ordered: "All the seizures are all brought back." As for the stronghold under our feet, it is located on the main transportation route, and the devils will definitely not let us occupy it, and directly mobilize the people to destroy it after cleaning up the battlefield! ”
"In addition, because of the fear of the stronghold of Anji Town, and the fact that there are too many recruits in the army, we have not moved Anji Town and several surrounding villages!"
"If I'm not mistaken, the traitors in these villages and towns are still there, relying on the devils to support them, and they have been causing trouble to the people in the township!"
"Now that the little devils in Anji Town are gone, it's our turn to settle accounts with these traitors!"
"The three main platoons will immediately divide their troops and attack, and before these traitors know that the stronghold of Anji Town has been destroyed by us, immediately surround them and kill them!"
"Also, contact the local cadres to go with them, establish base points in those villages, and form guerrilla units."
"Although we can't occupy Anji Town at our feet, we can isolate Anji Town. Even if the little devils send heavy troops to reoccupy this transportation artery, I don't want them to get out of the town and be surrounded by us all the time! ”
"I'll give the order right away!" Instructor Liu Wenxuan replied with a look of approval.
At the Japanese garrison headquarters in Lingqiu Castle, from the time the reinforcements left the city, Watanabe Nakasa stayed in the war room, studying the map and waiting for the results.
"Jingle Bell ......"
The crisp ringing of the telephone broke the silence of the war room.
The communications staff officer next to him quickly picked up the microphone and put it to his ear, and as soon as he said two words, the staff officer's face suddenly turned white.
None of this escaped Bian Zhongzuo's eyes, and he asked with a calm face: "Is there something wrong again!" ”
The staff officer covered the microphone and reported: "Sir, the Xinzhuang stronghold reported that they were attacked by the Eighth Route Army, which has heavy machine guns and mortars, as well as mountain artillery, and the garrison has suffered heavy casualties, so I ask for reinforcements!" ”
The adjutant reacted quickly, marked the location of Xinzhuang on the map as soon as possible, and then introduced.
"Sir, the Xinzhuang stronghold is one of the three strongholds of the imperial army outside the city, the terrain is flat, which is very suitable for farming, and more than thirty percent of Lingqiu's grain every year comes from Xinzhuang and several surrounding villages!"
"In order to control these grains, we specially garrisoned troops in Xinzhuang, with a total of a reinforced squad of the Imperial Army and a company of the Imperial Army, with a total strength of nearly two hundred people!"
"Food!" Watanabe Nakasa said to himself.
Then a decision was made: "Shangfeng has an order, starting this year, all the food supplies of the imperial army garrisons in various places will be self-raised, and a part of the food will be handed over to support the imperial army troops on the front line." Therefore, there must be no accidents with food! ”
"Call them back immediately, be sure to hold the stronghold, reinforcements will arrive soon!"
After seeing the staff officer repeating the order into the microphone, the adjutant hesitated and reminded: "Sir, there are still three infantry squadrons left in Lingqiu City, and there are no cars to travel to. I don't know which squadron the commander plans to draw to attack! ”
"Get the second squadron on!" Watanabe Nakasa replied decisively.
Several squadron leaders, like Watanabe, were all in the war room.
The squadron leader of the second squadron had just stood up, and before he could speak, the urgent telephone rang again.
The only difference is that compared with just now, the staff officer's face is even paler at the moment.
"Sir, the stronghold of Xiongjia Town has also been attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and the garrison has suffered heavy casualties, and it is in urgent need of reinforcements!"
"Sir, something happened......" Watanabe Nakasa raised his eyebrows, and before he could speak, a lieutenant rushed in from outside.
"Our troops reinforcing the stronghold of Anji Town were defeated, the cavalry returned with a crushing defeat, and there were only a dozen people left in one squadron. The infantry squadron was still on the way back to the county seat, they lost all their cars, and they were being chased and beaten by the Eighth Route Army! ”
Watanabe Nakasa was so frightened that he didn't react to the bad news for a long time.
The commander of the cavalry squadron also rushed in at this time, his face was pale, and when he saw Watanabe, he cried: "Sir, we have been fooled!" ”
"In addition to wanting to take the stronghold of Anji Town, the Eighth Route Army also dispatched heavy troops to ambush us on the road we must pass through, and surround the point to send reinforcements!"
"The cavalry squadron suffered heavy losses and was almost completely annihilated. More than half of the infantry squadron has also been wounded, and the motor transport team has also been lost, please sir, you must avenge us! ”
Watanabe Nakasa finally came back to his senses, forced himself to calm down, and then stared at the cavalry squadron leader with a pair of big eyes and asked rhetorically: "You repeat what you just said, what kind of encirclement to send reinforcements!" ”
The cavalry squadron leader replied stubbornly: "Sir, we have been fooled, the Eighth Route Army not only wants to take the emergency power of Anji Town, but also wants to eat our reinforcements!" ”
The adjutant hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sir, the troops reinforcing Anji Town were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army halfway and suffered heavy casualties!" Do you want to set off with the second squadron to reinforce the stronghold of Xinzhuang! ”
"What are you going to do, do you want them to go out of the city to die?" Watanabe asked angrily.
"What about the Xinzhuang stronghold and the Xiongjia Town stronghold?" The adjutant continued.
Watanabe Nakasa's face was hideous, and his mind was racing to find a solution.
Disappointingly, all the solutions he could think of were vetoed by him in a short period of time.
Finally, he took a long breath, like a defeated rooster, and replied helplessly: "Tell them, stick to the stronghold!" ”
"If I can make it until dawn, I'll ask the plane to support them! If not, then be prepared to die for His Majesty the Emperor! ”
After saying that, Watanabe Nakasa sat directly on the stool as if his whole body strength had been drained, and his face was pale.
When Xiao Yuan returned to the battlefield with the guard company, many soldiers had two guns on their backs.
When he found Li Hao, he reported excitedly: "Battalion commander, you killed too much just now!" ”
"At the beginning, the devils were chased by us and killed more than a dozen of them, and then more than 30 people were left behind, and they were all wiped out by us, and in the end only more than 30 people ran away!"
"We brought back a total of 48 rifles, two crooked handles, a grenadier, and more than 3,000 rounds of ammunition!"
Li Hao also had a smile on his face, and replied happily: "A cavalry squadron, an infantry squadron, less than fifty people fled back, and they also lost all the cars in Lingqiu City. I guess Watanabe, the old devil, will definitely be so angry that he vomits blood when he hears the news! ”
"With so many troops lost at once, the strength of the Japanese army in Lingqiu City will definitely not be enough to support the continued attack on us!"
"The power in front of our independent battalion has been lifted, no accident, at least two months the devils will not go out of the city to deal with us!"
The commander of the first company, Chen Bing, didn't know when he also rushed over, and he was also excited, and followed closely behind.
"Battalion commander, I have even more happy good news here!"
"In addition to the previous captures, we have collected a total of 58 war horses on the battlefield, all of which are intact, and we can fight with additional troops."
"102 sets of cavalry equipment were captured, six war horses were wounded but could be used as horses, and the remaining nearly forty war horses were all killed!"
"In addition, 68 38 large covers, 3 crooked handles, and 2 grenadiers were also seized~"
The smile on Li Hao's face became even stronger, and he shouted excitedly: "Haha...... With these captures, our cavalry company is finally full, and we have not fought in vain! ”
