The other Eighth Route Army around Yi County, like the independent regiment, was supplemented with dozens of guns and 10,000 rounds of ammunition by the smaller guerrillas, and 200 rifles by the larger main battalion, five light machine guns, and one heavy machine gun, with 50,000 rounds of various ammunition......

The firepower of each unit is not what it used to be, and it has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The Japanese puppet army counterattacked with its original ideas and operational ideas, and not only could not eat them, but also suffered a big loss.

At the Japanese garrison headquarters in Yixian County, the sky slowly brightened, and the county seat, which had been lively all night, became quiet again.

The power of the people is enormous.

At five o'clock in the morning, all the food and supplies seized by the garrison regiment in the county seat were moved out of the county seat by the villagers and hidden in the nearby woods.

The transport convoy brought by the base area has also set off with all the food and supplies, and the first convoy has already handed over its things to the people in the base area waiting on the edge of the blockade line, and as soon as it gets dark, this convoy will be able to return to Yi County for a second transport.

The rest of the convoy hid in the woods and villages along the road, waiting until it got dark to continue their way to the blockade.

"The regiment commander, the chief of staff reported that all the materials on the military column were also moved to the mountains, if the devils really sent planes to bomb today, we would not have any losses."

Li Hao was very satisfied and said: "Let them be blown up, especially the military trains on the railway, it is best to blow up all the trains and rails and turn them into small pieces of scrap iron, so that we can also take them back and hand them over to the arsenal to produce weapons and ammunition." ”

"By the way, is there any new news from Xiao Yuan and several surrounding counties?"

Wang Hong smiled and replied: "Xiao Yuan reported that Chen Fusheng, the chief of staff of the puppet army, brought more than 100 subordinates and more than a dozen devils to hide in the mountains and wait for us to retreat. ”

"The main forces of the Eighth Route Army, local troops, and guerrillas around Yi County began to move last night."

"After getting the weapons and ammunition we sent, they were like a tiger with wings and won many battles."

"The scouts sent out by the three main battalions reported: The devil was ready to gather heavy troops around Yi County last night, and as soon as he figured out our strength, he would kill him. Because of the cooperation of friendly and neighboring troops, these troops returned to their respective stations before dawn and surrounded and suppressed these friendly and neighboring troops. ”

The smile on Li Hao's face became even stronger, and he looked at the map and replied: "Now these troops want guns and guns, and ammunition and ammunition, and the possibility of devils wanting to defeat them in a short time is almost zero." ”

"However, the devils have gathered heavy troops to fight back, and their pressure is not small."

"These troops are all here to help us, and it's not good if the casualties are too large."

"Immediately send a telegram to the cavalry battalion, the first battalion, and the third battalion: let them leave half of the troops to continue to blockade Yi County, and the remaining half of the troops will enter the area occupied by the little devils in a squad and platoon, and cooperate with the friendly and neighboring troops to kill the devils together."

"In addition, mules and horses will continue to replenish them with weapons and ammunition."

"The harder they fight in enemy-occupied areas, the more devils they destroy, and the safer we are."

The captain of the Laishui County Devil Garrison Brigade was about to go crazy, and in just one morning, two more strongholds in the defense area were occupied by the Independent Regiment.

"Sir, the Independent Regiment is bullying people too much, and we must immediately gather heavy troops to retaliate and hit them hard, otherwise the entire Laishui will be occupied by the Independent Regiment except for the county seat." The vice-captain was anxious to propose.

"The Eighth Route Army's ideological mobilization ability is too strong, if they are allowed to occupy the plains outside the city, these places can be turned into so-called base areas in a month at most, providing them with troops and food, increasing their strength, and if the imperial army wants to take it back, the difficulty will definitely increase greatly."

More than anyone else, the captain wanted to take the opportunity to solve the problem of the independent regiment, but he had too few troops in his hands.

Last night the Independent Regiment swallowed all the reinforcements sent out by the county in one gulp.

It was a whole reinforced squadron of Imperial troops and a company of puppet troops.

If you carry out a counteroffensive yourself, you will definitely have more troops than last night, so that you have a chance to defeat the right one, otherwise it will be a problem to protect yourself.

However, there are only two infantry squadrons and one battalion of the Imperial Allied Army left in the county seat, and compared with the current combat effectiveness of the independent regiment, all of them must be dispatched to defeat the independent regiment.

Then Laishui County will become an empty city.

If the enemy takes the opportunity to launch an attack and the county seat is lost, then he will lose a lot.

The deputy captain saw the captain's concerns, and immediately replied: "Sir, there are many Japanese in the county, and we can temporarily recruit them to assist in defending the city." ”

"There are nearly 300 people in the police station and the special team, although the combat effectiveness is very poor, but with the imperial army supervising the battle, there is no problem in defending the city."

"Laishui only has the independent regiment as a force that opposes the imperial army, and after we kill them and catch them, even if they know that the county town is empty of troops and want to divide our troops to cut off our back road, there are very few troops that can be sent."

"We left dozens of imperial troops, temporarily recruited more than 100 Japanese to assist in defending the city, plus more than 300 Chinese in the police station and special forces, it is definitely no problem to hold the county seat."

"Yo Xi ......"

The captain's frowning brows slowly relaxed, and after thinking for a while, he agreed: "Just do as you say." ”

"Leave an infantry squad and a heavy machine gun squad to defend the city, you stay and recruit the Japanese in the city to assist in defending the city, and the other troops follow me out of the city, find the independent regiment, and defeat them."

Tangjiazhuang stronghold, after taking here, the independent regiment headquarters will stay here.

The three main battalions attacked separately and swept away the nearby Japanese puppet army.

The regiment commander sat in the headquarters that should have belonged to the little devils, his face was full of smiles, and he couldn't close his mouth.

The political commissar lay on the table next to him to count the results, and his smile never broke.

"Alright, Commander......" said the commissar as he put down his pen.

"Last night, we fought four battles, and a total of 356 little devils and 328 puppet soldiers were annihilated, including 213 puppet soldiers were captured."

"The independent regiment lost a total of 248 people, 49 people were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness, and as long as the lightly wounded were not counted, it did not affect the battle."

"The casualties were mainly caused by the ambush of reinforcements in the county seat, swallowing more than 300 Japanese puppet troops in one gulp, which was the largest battle of the independent regiment so far."

"What about the seizure?" The regiment commander asked, staring at the commissar.

Although the independent regiment has been replaced with guns and is well-equipped, as the regiment commander, he will never think that he has many weapons.

The Eighth Route Army's ideological mobilization ability is notoriously powerful, and as long as it has a gun, he will definitely be able to find a master for it, and then the independent regiment will be able to develop into a well-known reinforced regiment.

The political commissar saw at a glance the careful thinking of the regiment commander, and hurriedly replied: "Reducing the devil's blow up before he died, we have captured a total of three heavy machine guns, 5 mortars, 10 light machine guns, 314 rifles, more than 100,000 rounds of various bullets, and 428 shells. ”

"Most of the ammunition was captured from the Tangjiazhuang stronghold, because the troops pretended to be a rout and attacked the stronghold, and the Japanese puppet army inside was killed by us before they had time to blow up the ammunition depot, so all the ammunition hoarded by the devils in the stronghold fell into our hands."

"Great...... "The regimental commander jumped up from his chair with joy and exclaimed excitedly.

"With these equipment, not only can another battalion be formed after the battle, but the artillery platoon can also be expanded into an artillery company, and the heavy machine gun company will be more worthy of its name, and there will be no shortage of guns."

"I agree......" the commissar agreed with a smile.

"I found that since the weapons and ammunition provided to us by the garrison regiment have been in place, the troops have fought a lot more smoothly, and according to this situation, it will not be long before the independent regiment can develop into a well-known reinforced regiment."
