However, compared to the several Japanese advisers who were blown into parts, and his chief of staff who was cut off by a shrapnel. Although his death was a little aggrieved, at least a whole corpse was preserved. However, because the men of his regiment either died or fled, it was not until the end of the battle that his body was dragged out from under the half of the tree.

After taking the telescope handed over by He Sanliang and his Browning pistol, Li Ziyuan shook his head and said: "This guy is not a qualified regiment commander, if he follows his style of play, I am afraid that no matter how many troops this puppet army has, it will not be enough to fill it." ”

"Their division commander can't be regarded as a qualified division commander. In mountainous areas where the area is narrow, it is not a disadvantage that the troops operate in two directions. But the problem is that the distance between this guy's marching sequences is really wide. If they had been together, we wouldn't have been able to win so much today. ”

After sighing slightly, Li Ziyuan looked at the disarmed puppet army in front of him, turned his head and said to He Sanliang: "Old He, this is not a place to stay for a long time. And if these captives are taken away, it will be a burden to us. I think the officers and veterans who have been in the military for more than three years, as well as the wounded and sick, are all dismissed on the spot, and the soldiers are all taken away first. ”

"We don't have any money to give them now, and their troops are not far from here, so they probably won't starve to death if they don't pay them. Tell the troops to hurry up and clean up the battlefield, and not a single bullet or * will be left. The dismissed officers were given belts, pistols, and binoculars to me, and they were immediately transferred after ten minutes. ”

Regarding Li Ziyuan's order, He Sanliang said indifferently: "Regiment commander, you don't need to give orders to clean up the battlefield." Rest assured, even a single piece of clothing will not be left for them. But this time we seized a German-made fifteen-watt radio station, as well as all the codebooks for horizontal and vertical communication between them. In addition, the messenger was also caught by us. ”

He Sanliang's words made Li Ziyuan overjoyed. Hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Take away this radio station and their transceiver, remember that not a single part can be left behind." After cleaning up the battlefield, let's move immediately. As for the puppet army of the battalion in the northeast, leave them alone for the time being. ”

Before He Sanliang answered Li Ziyuan, according to He Sanliang's order, he went to outflank the second battalion commander in the northeast. He had already withdrawn with his troops and the loot he had captured, as well as more than seventy captured prisoners. Seeing Li Ziyuan and He Sanliang, Liu Siming still had a trace of shame on his face because he let go of the enemy.

The puppet army over there is not a fool, especially their battalion commander, who is even more shrewd. The rescue was before, but after Li Ziyuan's action, the dense gunfire already made him feel that something was wrong. And the tenacious and flexible tactics of the eight roads in the face let him know that this must be a difficult bone to gnaw.

The sound of gunfire from Li Ziyuan's side even made him feel that it was not the old Eighth Road in Taihang Mountain, and all of them were killed here. When the gunfire at the location of his regiment headquarters weakened and the gunfire on Li Ziyuan's side completely subsided, the old man immediately gave up and continued the rescue.

For fear that he would even fight himself, he didn't even do anything to gather his troops. With the rest of his troops, he left the wounded and baggage, and left the battlefield directly and quickly evacuated all the way to the west. This guy ran extremely fast, and although the blocking force launched a counterattack on the spot, it was unable to stop this guy.

By the time Liu Siming led his troops into place, he only had time to intercept a company whose movements were a little slow. The dude threw away everything he could, even two heavy machine guns. With less than a company of troops left, he rushed all the way over the mountains and mountains to the west.

After the second battalion failed to completely hold it, it could not get too far away from the main force, so it did not pursue. After the intercepted company was disposed of, it was deployed on the spot in order to ensure the troops in the east and completely complete the operation of encircling and annihilating the main force of the puppet army.

After the gunfire on He Sanliang's side completely subsided, Liu Siming withdrew with his troops and joined the regiment commander and chief of staff. For the puppet army of the department running half a company, Li Ziyuan did not criticize Liu Siming. Originally, it was planned to solve a battalion of the puppet army of the ministry, but now the results have far exceeded expectations.

He didn't think he had a big appetite enough to eat too much meat at once with less than a regiment of troops. To make fire on the tip of a knife, you must know what is meant by moderation. After running half a company, he ran away, and even if he ran back, it would not cause any damage. Regarding Liu Siming's relatively safe approach of not hastily pursuing, Li Ziyuan still seemed very satisfied.

When the battlefield is cleaned up, the wounded of the puppet army using the captured materials are simply bandaged and neatly lined up on the side of the road, so that they can wait for their own reinforcements to contain them. And after the captured puppet army officers, as well as some veterans, were dismissed on the spot. Li Ziyuan led his troops and evacuated all the way to the northeast.

By the time the main force of the puppet army got the news and rushed to reinforcements, Li Ziyuan's department had already brought a large amount of booty, and the five or six hundred prisoners were gone. All he was left with was the corpses of the ground, the disarmed officers who had been dismissed, and a large number of wounded.

The commander of the puppet army who rushed to the battlefield saw a letter full of thanks to him handed over by Li Ziyuan through the puppet army captivity, and it can almost be said that he was furious. The troops of an entire regiment, together with the troops to which they were attached, were reduced to only half a company's strength, and all the embers of weapons and equipment and a large amount of baggage they carried.

This loss was quite traumatic for his division, which had a total strength of only 4,000 men. He doesn't feel distressed, he can go back to the garrison and recruit again. At present, in the season of war, the common people are living quite poorly. As long as the salary is paid in time, it is relatively easy to recruit soldiers.

Although his current identity is a little embarrassing, ordinary people are reluctant to join their own troops as long as they have a way to live. But it really can't be done, and I can still send troops down to arrest it. As long as the Japanese do not have a single moth and do not reduce their own strength, the problem of soldiers will still be easy to solve.

The equipment that could be lost, and the extra batch of ammunition really made him feel very distressed. The Japanese have always been stingy and tight, and the Japanese have only replenished these equipment with the amount of effort it took by the Governor's Department and the amount of effort it took to exercise in Nanjing. It's a good thing now, all of a sudden there is no equipment for a regiment.

There were so many ammunition losses that made him even more heartbroken. According to the requirements of the Japanese, the spare ammunition for the whole division to participate in this operation was in the hands of this regiment, and nearly 150,000 rounds of ammunition, 10,000*, and some of the shells carried were all gone.

This one-time loss is so big, counting on the Japanese to want to replenish themselves, and they don't know the Year of the Monkey yet. Although Mr. Sun said that he had an arsenal in his hands, the production capacity was really limited, and the quality was really not good. There are more than 20,000 troops in the whole army, and it is really unrealistic to point to this arsenal to replenish. If the Japanese did not replenish it, they would not have had a place to refill it with so much ammunition.

The most important thing is that the spare ammunition has been lost, and the troops can only rely on the sixty rounds of ammunition that each soldier carries with them. Only one base number of machine-gun bullets remained, even to the point of scarcity. The most important thing is the shells, and now there is only a small blink left with the cannons. Compared to small arms ammunition, the Japanese controlled shells more strictly.

It's gone, and I'm counting on it to be re-delivered, and the devil knows when. Even the number of shells itself is limited, and it is not the same thing to give it a replenishment or not. Without ammunition, what about the next step in the operation? If you want to replenish it, you need to look at the faces of the Japanese. Even if I didn't plan to sell my life, I can't look at it now.

The loss of weapons and equipment made the division commander extremely annoyed. What was most difficult for him to accept was that this battle could be described as a great shame for them. The people who were released by the Eighth Route said that the Eighth Route that came to sneak attack this time was not even a regiment. Although there are mortars and heavy machine guns, their own troops also have an innate defense system such as villages that can be used.

At the same time, their own troops have sufficient ammunition and their weapons and equipment are also superior to those of the Eighth Road. But in a short period of time, it was defeated, not to mention, the main force of the regiment was completely annihilated. The result of a regiment and the subordinate troops running back half a company made the division commander hold his breath and add quite a nest of fire.

Their own troops have always believed that their troops have strong combat effectiveness, and under the condition that their strength is equal to that of the Eighth Road, they can defeat their opponents steadily. But the results in front of him made the seven points of this division commander light. Even if it's a thousand pigs, it's impossible to catch them in such a short time?

The commander of the puppet army, who was furious, ordered to shoot all the company-level officers who had been released back by the Eighth Route to warn the other two regiments that this would be the end of ineffective combat. Anyway, there is almost no officer at the battalion level, and most of them are officers at the company and platoon level. Shooting a few company commanders to death will not affect the overall situation.

As for the veterans who were released back by the Eighth Road, they simply replaced the baggage company that was captured by the Eighth Route to provide logistical support for the troops. The mules and horses are gone, so let them carry them on their shoulders. Anyway, they don't have weapons anymore, and now they don't have weapons to replenish them. You can't use it to fight a war, and it's no problem to work as a coolie.

After dealing with the captives released by Li Ziyuan, this division commander was really unwilling to retreat in disgrace. On the one hand, an urgent telegram was sent to the headquarters and the military department, asking the superiors to immediately coordinate with the other Japanese puppet army to speed up the operation and cooperate with them in pursuit. He also asked his superiors for approval to transfer a part of the troops from the troops left behind in Huguan to strengthen his own troops.

On the one hand, he ignored the opposition of the Japanese advisers and the Japanese troops who cooperated with the actions of the puppet army. Concentrate their forces along the report of the released puppet army, and pursue them all the way in the direction of Li Ziyuan's retreat. But this time he didn't dare to divide the troops, gathered all the troops together, and came to advance in a group.

This puppet army division commander who lost a regiment when he came up and was anxious to be ashamed of himself now can't take care of anything. Especially after knowing that the Eighth Route that attacked him was actually the Eighth Route Regiment Commander who his boss had named and wanted to capture alive, he was even more anxious and chased all the way down.

Of course, Li Ziyuan, who was ordered to restrain him, of course, would not let himself out of his sight. If the two armies disengage, how can they take the bull? How do you complete the tasks assigned by your superiors? Therefore, Li Ziyuan did not act in a hurry, and even teased these puppet soldiers from time to time, constantly stimulating them.
