The deputy chief of staff was blindsided for a moment before he reacted, and the army commander wanted to give full play to the usable value of more than 300 people.

He quickly replied: "Send them a telegram now." ”

"After rushing to the Wushanwa battlefield as soon as possible, quickly report the situation there."

"If there are still troops surviving from the sweeping troops on the east road, immediately join them and march out of the garrison base area."

"If it is determined that the sweeping troops on the east road are killed, they will directly divide the troops and kill the garrison regiment base area, and how many people can break through is a few people."

The commander nodded and replied: "Just send it like this, let them march to Wushanwa in a hurry, the sooner the better." ”

On the battlefield of Pingshui Town, the cavalry battalion, chariot company, and infantry were divided into ...... Returning to the battlefield after the battle.

Each striking force was rewarded with a lot of equipment and ammunition, as well as a long list of puppet prisoners who had lost their weapons.

In the temporary headquarters, several staff officers brought by Zhang Yun were counting the results reported by the pursuing troops one after another.

Zhou Wu, the commander of the cavalry battalion, suddenly rushed in: "Battalion Commander Zhang, I just got the news that more than 300 devils have slipped away, assembled at a position three kilometers southeast of us, and then marched to Wushanwa. ”

"Infantry and chariots cannot make long-distance pursuits, cavalry walks."

"Now that the withdrawn cavalry has two companies, I hope that Battalion Commander Zhang will agree to let me lead my troops to chase and kill them, and how many can be killed."

Zhang Yun thought for a moment and ordered: "I agree with the cavalry battalion to go out, but you must pay attention to safety." ”

"After Pingshui Town, there are hills and mountains on both sides of the road, and after knowing that there is cavalry pursuit, I will definitely flee to the mountains next to it."

"They can divide their troops, but your cavalry battalion can't."

"If the Japanese army divides its troops, you don't have to worry about them, and go directly to Wushanwa to reinforce the regiment commander."

"The target of these devils is Wushanwa, and the head of the regiment will definitely be waiting there, waiting for them to throw themselves into the net."

Zhou Wu's face was very happy, and he hurriedly replied: "Battalion Commander Zhang, don't worry, we will definitely not divide our troops." ”

"We are old cavalrymen, and we know that cavalry is not as good as infantry without war horses."

"So I definitely won't do the stupid thing of dividing troops into the mountains to hunt down and kill the little devils."

As soon as Zhou Wu left the command headquarters on his front foot, several staff officers who counted the results of the battle suddenly jumped up excitedly.

"Battalion commander, the results of the pursuit troops have been counted."

Zhang Yun turned his head and asked, "How many little devils have you killed and how many prisoners have you captured?" ”

The staff officer looked at the list report in his hand: "More than 2,300 little devils were killed, more than 800 puppet soldiers were killed, 1,859 puppet soldiers were captured, and 3 heavy guns, two mountain guns, one infantry gun, 18 mortars of various calibers, and more than 20 heavy machine guns were also captured." ”

"Because there are too many rifle machine guns and too miscellaneous, there are no statistics for the time being."

"Ammunition too, except for those captured from the Devil's Baggage Team, the battlefield is everywhere, and there is not a day that cannot be counted."

"In addition, we also captured 328 horses that were intact."

The more Zhang Yun listened, the stronger the smile on his face, and as soon as his subordinates finished speaking, he hurriedly asked, "Has the captain of the devil wing been killed?" ”

"He was killed by a heavy machine gun on one of the armed vehicles of the tank company, and he had several blood holes in his body, and he couldn't die anymore." The staff officer hastened to answer.

Hearing this, Zhang Yun was completely relieved.

When the battle was fought like this, he not only fulfilled the tasks assigned to him by the regiment headquarters, but also exceeded the quota.

After being excited, he immediately ordered: "Immediately summarize the battle reports you have counted to the regiment commander." ”

"Our losses are also sent together."

"The regiment commander must have reached the most critical moment of the battle, and sending this good news over may be able to boost the morale of the army and make the troops there even more worry-free."

On the battlefield of Wushanao, the sound of gunfire continued, but it was obviously much weaker than ten minutes ago.

After the gunpowder explosion buried on the top of the mountain, it not only killed the captain of the devil wing and killed hundreds of puppet troops, but also blew up the morale of the remaining Japanese puppet army.

But it also brings up another problem.

The hopeless Japanese puppet army turned out to be crazy.

As soon as a unit becomes not afraid of death, its combat effectiveness increases exponentially.

What Li Hao has to deal with now is this crazy Japanese puppet army.

"Regiment commander, the remaining hundreds of little devils are too evil, especially difficult to fight, the troops attacked several times and they used suicide counter-assaults to beat us back, and there were heavy casualties." Hong Linfeng scolded as he walked.

"The attack on my side is not going well either." Head Zhou also frowned and reported.

"A lot of devils fell to the ground and pretended to be dead when we attacked, and when we rushed closer, they used grenades to die with everyone, and many soldiers died in vain."

Li Hao saw the battle just now, and he was clear.

Looking at Hong Linfeng, he asked, "How many shells are left with us?" ”

"Less than two thousand rounds!" Hong Linfeng thought for a moment and answered.

"Hit them all!" Li Hao ordered very decisively.

"If you can kill a few devils, blow up a few, and then the whole army will assault and destroy them."

After speaking, Li Hao asked Zhou Liang next to him: "Is there any news about Zhang Yun, how are they playing in Pingshui Town?" ”

"As long as we kill the devil's mid-lane sweeping troops, we will win this battle, it's just a matter of spending a little more time."

Zhou Liang didn't speak, and at the moment he was receiving the telegram.

Ten minutes later, he put down the headset and reported: "Regiment Commander, good news, Battalion Commander Zhang just sent a good news, we won the battle in Pingshui Town." ”

"For more than 5,000 days, only more than 300 people of the puppet army broke through and killed us, and two companies of the cavalry battalion were chasing them, and Battalion Commander Zhang asked us to prepare and strive to kill them all."

Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Call Zhang Yun back, the troops will clean up the battlefield immediately, and then disperse and hide to prevent the Japanese puppet army from retaliating against them." ”

"Chief of Staff, Commander Zhou, the last concern to solve the remnants of the Japanese puppet army is gone, pass on my order: all troops on the battlefield will strengthen their offensive and end the battle quickly."

At five o'clock in the morning, the Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan received a telegram from the captain of the second brigade of the middle road sweeping unit.

The deputy chief of staff fell silent after reading the telegram.

The situation was much worse than he had imagined.

Standing in front of the army commander, he hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "Sir, more than 300 people who broke through the reinforcements were chased by a cavalry eight kilometers away from Pingshui Town, half of the troops were killed, and half of the troops withdrew into the mountains and took the path to continue to Wushanwa. ”

"By the time we got there, the fighting was over, and the Eastern Road Sweep Force had been wiped out."

"And...... The Eighth Route Army seemed to have known that they were going over, and had arranged a large number of ambushes in advance, which was a decisive telegram from them, and the troops had dispersed and broken through before the report, so that we could prepare for it. ”
