Chapter 1222: Showing Weakness (Second Update!) )
At seven o'clock in the morning, when Miki Nakasa was having breakfast, the chief of staff hurriedly ran over, with a solemn expression on his face: "Your Excellency Nakasa, the Tanjiashan stronghold reported that a section of the road two kilometers southeast of them was damaged. ”
"There are a lot of big holes dug in the roadbed, 500 meters long, and there are no cars and cars that can't pass through before the repair."
"The Zhouwan stronghold also called: the one-kilometer road east of the stronghold was artificially damaged, with a length of 300 meters, and cars and large vehicles could not pass through it before it was repaired."
I don't know when, Miki Nakasa has put down the dishes and chopsticks, and his face has become more and more solemn.
The chief of staff wanted to stop, but the military situation was like fire, and he couldn't delay, so he could only continue to report: "The Songling stronghold reported that a section of road more than 200 meters long in their garrison area was also destroyed!" ”
"Smack......
Miki Nakasa slammed his fist with anger on the table in front of him, and then gritted his teeth and scolded: "Eight Geya Road, these people who destroyed the road must be the same as the people who destroyed the railway last night." ”
"Have you found out who did it in several strongholds, and how many people are on the other side?"
"A few hundred meters of the road was destroyed, it is impossible that there is no movement at all, someone must have seen these people"
The chief of staff nodded and replied, "Tan Jiashan's stronghold has found some evidence. ”
"Judging from the military uniform: it should be done by the Eighth Route Army, and the number of people is not large, only more than ten or twenty!"
"Kill them for me!" Miki Nakasa made a decision without hesitation.
"Order a few strongholds to send troops immediately, find and kill these Eighth Route Army."
"At the same time, catch strong men in nearby villages and repair the roads damaged by the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible."
"It will take several days for the railway to reopen, and supplies going south can now only be transported by road. If the road is also paralyzed, then these supplies will be blocked in Yi County, and the front army command will definitely hold us responsible. ”
At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the phone in the war room finally rang.
The chief of staff's first reaction was to repair the paralyzed roads in several strongholds, and he personally grabbed the microphone to answer the phone.
Contrary to expectations, it was not good news coming out of the earpiece.
Putting down the phone, he looked at Miki Nakasa and reported very seriously: "Your Excellency Nakasa, report from the Tanjiashan stronghold." ”
"The Eighth Route Army, which destroyed the road, was very cunning, lurking near the highway and constantly harassing the imperial army with guerrilla warfare to prevent the imperial army from repairing the road."
"In just one morning, we have killed six imperial troops and five imperial troops on the road."
"Yaga, is their commander a stupid pig? Why not send troops to take the initiative and take out these cunning sneak attackers. Miki Nakasa scolded with an angry face.
The chief of staff hurriedly explained: "The chief is angry. ”
"They sent troops, and they sent them several times, but the Eighth Route Army was too cunning."
"When the Imperial Army is dispatched, they retreat, and when the Imperial Army retreats, they come back and continue to harass the Imperial Army from a distance with rifle machine guns."
Miki was dissatisfied and asked, "Why are you retreating, why don't they chase and kill these Eighth Route Army all the way until they are defeated." ”
The chief of staff continued to explain: "After the Eighth Route Army was attacked, it went directly into the nearest mountain. ”
"In order to prevent an ambush in the mountain, the pursuing troops generally stopped when they reached the edge of the forest, and did not dare to go deep into the forest."
"Coward!" Miki scolded again.
"Isn't it just a forest? What is there to be afraid of. ”
"Although the Eighth Route Army is very good at fighting guerrilla warfare and mountain warfare, their strength is limited, even if they prepare pocket formations waiting for us to drill, the few Eighth Route Army will not be able to help our pursuing troops."
"Immediately give orders to all strongholds: be sure to find and destroy these Eighth Route Army, and before dawn tomorrow, all the destroyed roads must be one, otherwise military law will be involved."
The next morning, Miki Nakasa walked into the war room and asked anxiously: "Has the damaged road in Yi County been repaired, and has the Eighth Route Army that destroyed the road been killed?" ”
The chief of staff had been on duty here last night, and looked at the captain with a tired face and replied: "Report to the chief, not only was it not repaired, but several sections of the road were damaged by the Eighth Route Army last night. ”
"In addition, the pursuing troops sent out by the three strongholds all suffered heavy losses, and they had to stop the pursuit, withdraw from the mountains and return to the strongholds."
"How so?" Miki Nakasa exclaimed with an incredulous expression.
"The three Eighth Route Armies that destroyed the highway all added up to not even a single infantry squad of the Imperial Army, and the three strongholds each dispatched a mixed squad and a platoon of the Imperial Allied Army, and the total strength was more than five times that of the Eighth Route Army, how could it be defeated?"
The chief of staff lowered his head and explained: "The stronghold reported that the pursuing troops began to be attacked after entering the mountain, with machine guns, grenades, and mines, and all kinds of attack methods, and the imperial army entering the mountain was unable to defend itself, and could only be beaten passively, and even the figure of the Eighth Route Army could not be found." ”
"In order to avoid greater losses, the three attacking troops lost part of their forces and then retreated from the mountains and stopped the pursuit."
"Is there no way?" Miki Nakasa asked with a growl.
"Only a few dozen Eighth Route Army will fight a few strongholds like this, if the number of Eighth Route Army active in Yi County increases to hundreds, or even thousands, then we can't even hold the county seat of Yi County."
"They need reinforcements!" The chief of staff was silent for a moment and replied.
"The three strongholds that were attacked contained less than a hundred Imperial troops and a company of Imperial Cooperative Army."
"Minus the troops left behind in the stronghold, monitor the troops who repair the road in Qingzhuang, yesterday's casualties, there are even fewer troops that can attack today, and they are definitely not the opponent of the Eighth Route Army."
"The three commanders assured them on the phone that the county town would reinforce each stronghold with a full squad, and they would be confident that they would take out those Eighth Route Army."
Miki Nakasa didn't have a good solution, so he replied with a long sigh: "Give them reinforcements, and draw three more companies from the Imperial Alliance Army to reinforce them together." ”
"It will take more than half a day to get to the three strongholds from the county seat, and tell the three commanders that tomorrow night I will receive the good news that the Eighth Route Army has been wiped out and the road is repaired, otherwise they will apologize to His Majesty the Emperor."
The temporary headquarters of the Yixian guerrilla brigade, the news of the county's dispatch of troops was sent to Wang Xinshou by the commando team as soon as possible.
"Captain, I suggest that after the reinforcements of the Japanese puppet army come over, we will find a way to kill one of the Japanese puppet troops and give the devil a dismount!" The company commander proposed, his eyes lit up.
The other company commanders all showed expressions of approval.
In the past two days, the troops have been fighting guerrillas with the Japanese puppet army in the forest, although they have killed many Japanese puppet troops and their own casualties are very small, but because they have not fought a battle of annihilation, the capture of the troops is almost zero.
Seeing that the devils hurriedly withdrew from the mountain with the corpses and extra weapons and ammunition, several company commanders were eager to send out an attack to intercept them and then kill them.
But the military order was like a mountain, and before Wang Xin gave the order to annihilate the enemy, they could only use guerrilla warfare to deal with the devils.
"How's the training going?" Wang Xin did not answer directly, but stared at several company commanders and asked rhetorically.
"Every fighter in the company fired at least ten rounds of live ammunition!" A company commander replied.
"The recruits are obviously not as afraid of going to the battlefield as before, their shooting accuracy is much higher than before, and they are more thorough in carrying out orders than before."
The commander of the second company then reported: "The second company fought guerrilla warfare with the devils who entered the mountains as a squad, and each soldier fired fifteen bullets, and the progress was also very great. ”
The commander of the third company finally reported: "Each soldier of the third company also fired fifteen rounds of live ammunition. ”
After thinking for a while, he continued: "Now the soldiers are not only not afraid to go to the battlefield, but are looking forward to it, and their morale is very high. ”
"I think the military spirit can be used, take the opportunity to fight the little devil in an ambush, and let everyone see what the real battle is like."
