Chapter 264: Retirement

Compared with the Japanese troops stationed in Changzhi, they were overwhelmed with grief and indignation when they looked at the charred corpses scattered around the airport warehouse. The Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, which returned to the base area before dawn, looked elated, looking at the countless trophies and laughing.

Many of the civilians who followed the guerrillas to the airport last night also received some of the spoils from the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. Even though these trophies are eaten and used, the common people still feel happy and know that these are good things.

On the other hand, the officers and men of the three main battalions who participated in the battle stared at the mountains of weapons that had been transported back to the base areas. The guerrilla captains who had not yet left also joined in the fun, hoping to get a few more guns and bullets, even if the pseudo-military ones were not disgusted.

The political commissar of the Independent Regiment, who stayed in the base area and did not fight, looked at Huang Xinmin and said with a smile: "We are really rich this time!" The most important thing is that we haven't lost a single soldier, and this is really a big victory that has never been seen before! ”

Looking at the happy political commissar, Huang Xinmin smiled bitterly: "Actually, we didn't have a chance to participate in the battle at all when we went out to fight in the mountains this time. In the last battle, by the time we broke out of our positions, there were few left.

The loot is more likely to be given by someone else. You didn't go last night, and if you did, it would have been incredible. Those guys took down the machine guns and didn't spend a single shot, isn't it? ”

"How is this possible? The little devils have stationed a lot of troops at the airport? ”

"Who's to say it isn't! In addition to these puppet soldiers who were captured by us, there were three or four hundred little devils at the airport, and all those guys were killed. With bows and crossbows and daggers, the scene was so bloody that many of our soldiers vomited when they cleaned the battlefield!"

Listening to Huang Xinmin's account of the battle, the political commissar of the Independent Regiment also said with emotion: "I really don't know, where did those people come from?" By the way, did you send someone to report to the headquarters? With this seizure, we can expand the group, right? ”

"Let's wait and see! However, I think the most important thing at the moment is to beware of the revenge of the petty. In addition, the captured weapons will be replaced with a battalion first, and the remaining weapons will be discussed when the order from the headquarters comes.

If we don't hurry up and change our clothes, then the headquarters will ask us to hand over the captured weapons, and we will be busy last night. Those stingy military uniforms and bedding, we also keep some, food and other materials, what do you say? ”

"Okay, it's rare to capture so many supplies, and the whole regiment will have an extra meal tonight, so that the soldiers can also have a good meal. The guerrillas who cooperated with the operation last night also gave them some weapons, ammunition and supplies. They're getting better, and it's good for us. ”

"Okay, let's say that first! After dawn, I was worried that the little devil's plane would come, and these things would be stored in batches first. When the instructions from the headquarters come, we will decide what to do with these things. ”

"That's it!"

When the independent regiment began to dispose of the booty seized from the airport, the commander of the Nagaji garrison, who couldn't help but vomit, also knew that this matter had to be reported to the commander of the dispatch army as soon as possible. This time, a reprimand is indispensable.

The most important thing is that the Changzhi airport was seriously damaged, and I was afraid that the fighters would not be able to transfer for a short time. A large number of fighters and pilots are broken, plus the fuel and bombs stored at the airport are gone, and even if the fighters turn to land, there is no point.

Considering that the transportation of so many corpses back to the city would damage the morale of the troops stationed in the city, the pale-faced garrison commander called a young man to stay at the airport. Using the wood that has not yet been burned, start preparing for cremation and burning ashes.

Before leaving, the garrison commander also said directly: "Wait a minute, I will have someone send a list of the airport guards, and you can also try to deal with those charred corpses." Not surprisingly, those charred corpses should be our warriors. ”

"Your Excellency, you mean, there is a problem with the Imperial Allied Army guarding the airport?"

"It's not clear! However, judging from the on-site inspection, the Imperial Allied Army guarding the airport was not completely annihilated. In the dormitory where our warriors lived, we saw a lot of bloodstains, but not in the dormitory area of the Imperial Army.

If it weren't for the internal response, how did the Eighth Route Army, which attacked the airport, avoid our sentinels? This problem, after returning to the city, I will report it to Iga Shaozo to investigate it strictly. We must avenge the revenge of the warriors. This matter is kept secret for the time being, remember? ”

"Hey!"

The Japanese soldiers who were responsible for the on-site inspection had a lot of experience in the inspection. Through some things left at the scene, the Japanese soldiers who were able to investigate it were very keenly aware that the situation in the dormitory area of the puppet army was different from that of the Japanese army. Many charred corpses can find fatal wounds.

Even if a complete corpse could not be found, from those mutilated charred corpses, the Japanese soldiers who could investigate still found that many of the fatal wounds of the charred corpses were in the throat. It also means that they are killed in an unsuspecting situation.

If you want to do this, it should be difficult for outsiders to do this without internal response. Since the attack on Yangmingbao Airport, the Japanese army has always been very vigilant about the airport, and even the puppet army that cooperated with the guards.

It's just that under this defensive mood, the relationship between the Japanese troops stationed at the airport and the puppet army is not harmonious. The garrison commander also knew about this, so that every once in a while, the puppet army would be rotated to ensure the absolute safety of the airport.

If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!

For the Japanese troops stationed in the city everywhere, they did not believe in the puppet army that had been formed. But many times, they have to win over the puppet army to do things for them, and it is also common for the Japanese puppet army to have discord with each other.

The Japanese garrison officer, who led a group of troops back to Changzhi, quickly telegraphed the situation of the destruction of the airport to the Taiyuan headquarters. Upon learning of this situation, the commander of the Japanese army stationed in Taiyuan was naturally extremely angry.

The commander of the Changzhi garrison was ordered to immediately launch an investigation into the matter, find out the murderer who attacked the airport, and then carry out a crackdown according to the situation. Judging from the current situation, it is not an easy task for the Japanese army to clear out the anti-Japanese troops in the southwest of Shanxi.

The most important thing is that now the relationship between the Eighth Route Army and the Jin Sui Army is good, and with mutual cooperation, the Japanese army also needs to pay a lot of losses if it wants to clear the anti-war troops in the southwest of Jin. And the destructive power of the Eighth Route Army is already slowly growing.

It's just that I think of the Battle of Xuzhou, which the North China Front attaches the most importance to at present, and the Japanese troops stationed in Shanxi also know that if they want the North China Front Army to send more troops, they are afraid that it will not be possible in a short time. The encirclement and suppression operation is bound to wait until the end of the Battle of Xuzhou.

When Mr. Zhu and others received a farewell message from Hu Biao, they also knew that Hu Biao had left Changzhi. When asked about the attack on the airport, he quickly received a reply from Hu Biao with the words 'retired after success'.

Seeing this telegram, Mr. Zhu was also very concerned and said: "Hasn't there been any news from the Independent Regiment yet?" ”

"Nope! Even if the heralds were sent overnight, they would not know the exact situation until the evening. If Captain Hu and his entourage really take Changzhi Airport, the Japanese army will definitely retaliate next, should they send troops to move over? ”

"Wait and see! The 385th Brigade has a main regiment, which is not far from Changzhi. If there is really any change in Changzhi's stinginess, it will be too late for us to transfer the troops. What we have to do now is to see what the Japanese army does! ”

"It's really the end of Changzhi Airport, and the little devil is afraid that he will feel distressed for a while. I just don't know how much booty the independent regiment captured. Last night's attack on the Japanese airfield, what were the casualties of the troops. Why don't you ask Captain Hu? ”

"Forget it! He's not one of our subordinates, and we don't want to ask him about anything. Wait a minute! Anyway, during this time, all troops must be vigilant. First, Xiangtangpu made an ambush - and then took out the little devil's airport, and the little devil must be very angry. ”

"Don't be angry! In the ambush battle of Xiangtangpu, we destroyed nearly 1,000 troops and hundreds of vehicles. If they really end up at the airport, it is estimated that the casualties of the little devils will definitely be not small. With the urine sex of the little devil, there will definitely be revenge! ”

"So let's respond to all changes with the same, wait for the little devil to make a move first, and then we'll see you again!"

By the time the communications cavalry sent by the Independent Regiment arrived at the headquarters, it was already approaching evening. After resting for a day and recovering in good spirits, Hu Biao and his entourage quickly packed up their things and continued on the road, heading towards Taierzhuang, where the battle is currently the most intense.

This road is not an enemy-occupied area, but in Hu Biao's opinion, it is still not careless. The more non-enemy-occupied the area, the more ghosts, snakes, and gods there are. The bandits who robbed homes and houses, as well as the troops of the Jin Sui army. If you are not careful, you may be ambushed.

Out of this concern and consideration, and in order to ensure the safety and confidentiality of the troops' march, Hu Biao finally adopted the method of marching at night. In this way, it will also greatly reduce the chance of the team being spotted and clashing with various forces.

The entire spy company was divided into three routes: front, middle, and rear, with Xu Sandao's reconnaissance as the leader, Chen Qiang's third row at the rear of the palace, and Hu Biao with the second platoon and the radio on the road. If there is a situation on the way, it can also be reported through the radio in a timely manner.

Hu Biao, who came out with a number of radio stations, also discovered the benefits of radio. Even if the teams are a little far apart, there is no need to worry about not being able to get in touch. If you report on foot, it is also labor-intensive. It's much more convenient to have a radio station.

On the way in the evening, Hu Biao also received a telegram of inquiry from the military commander. Looking at the telegram of inquiry sent by the military commander, Hu Biao was also very surprised: "It seems that the military commander is very well informed!" In Changzhi, they also have intelligence stations? ”

"Captain, how do you reply?"

"Passing by by accidentally, doing it casually, I'm about to leave for the war zone!"

Since the military commander has already inquired about this matter, Hu Biao has every reason to believe that the news of his contact with the Eighth Route Army will not be concealed from the military commander. Fortunately, Hu Biao also has a corresponding statement in this matter.

There are also a lot of times of cooperation with the military commanders, and Hu Biao will charge corresponding fees every time. I believe that in the eyes of Dai Li and others, he has also become a slightly greedy image. And in the next step, Hu Biao also plans to do business with the military commander.

Subsidizing the cost of medicines for the Eighth Route Army, Hu Biao naturally wanted to earn it back from the military commander. Although this seems to be a bit favoritism, who calls the military commander a big one? robbing the rich and helping the poor, Hu Biao didn't feel any guilt!

Moreover, these drugs were sold to the military commanders, and Hu Biao believed that the military commanders could sell them at a higher price. At least Hu Biao dared to guarantee that the price of the drugs he sold must be cheaper than those purchased by the military commanders from other channels. Win-win cooperation, why not do it?
