Chapter 80: Preparing to Fight and Block (Asking for Push and Return)

By the time the three battalions of troops who had come to support arrived at Xinguan Town, the battle had already ended. The www.biquge.info looked at Li Chengwu and the others who had taken over the defensive position at the entrance of the town, and the officers and men of the third battalion who rushed to support were very surprised.

Looking at these three battalion reinforcements who rushed over, Li Chengwu was also very happy and said: "You guys are finally here!" Captain, they are worried that they have captured too much loot, and they will not be able to transfer it to our base area later! ”

'Where's Captain Zhao?' ’

'I'm waiting for you to come at the town office!' Company Commander Miao, I'm still on duty here, so I won't accompany you in. Considering that the news should come out, it is estimated that it will not be long before the little devils will come to the rescue.

Therefore, Miao Lian was also asked to speed up and quickly transport the seized materials away. As for this, with me watching for the time being, there shouldn't be anything going on. It's just that everyone waits for the speed of transporting materials, and we still have to speed up a little! ’

After chatting with Miao Licheng, the company commander who came to support, with a smile, Li Chengwu also asked two communicators to quickly bring Miao Licheng and his party into the town. Seeing many Eighth Route Army troops entering the town, the people in the town were also a little surprised.

"Wow, there are so many Eighth Route Army! Could it be that they are not going to leave the town? ’

Some people feel that when so many Eighth Route Army came in at once, they were afraid that they wanted to recover Xinguan Town. Miao Licheng, who arrived at the town office, and the guard platoon commander of the third battalion also saw Zhao Tiehu and his party who were packing supplies.

'Company Commander Miao, Platoon Commander Sun, welcome! You're finally here! ’

After a brief chat between the two sides, Zhao Tiehu also quickly said: "Time is a little tight, so we can't talk more." Miao Lian, these packed supplies, please arrange for the soldiers to transport them away immediately!

As for the distribution of these supplies, we will discuss them when we reach your battalion headquarters. If nothing else, wait for the little devils who have come to reinforce us, I'm afraid that we still need to block it, so that they don't dare to chase too closely.

We are responsible for the blockade, and you now have only one task, which is to safely transfer all the seized materials to our base area. With this batch of supplies, I believe you will have a better life in the future. ”

'Captain Zhao, let's take care of the blockade matter! You didn't rest last night, and you fought again, so let's take a break! ’

'Nope! Last night, we had a good rest. Don't argue, leave the blocking to us. This time, I brought a dozen war horses to travel, and when I retreated, I would be faster than you. ’

Originally, he wanted to replace Zhao Tiehu and be responsible for the next possible blockade battle. As a result, seeing Zhao Tiehu insisting like this, Miao Licheng didn't say much. After all, Zhao Tiehu's level is now higher than him.

The most important thing is that when the battalion commander Zhu Xin came, he gave an explanation and asked them to obey Zhao Tiehu's command. What's more, many of the troops brought out by Miao Licheng this time are recruits who have just joined the army!

As Zhao Tiehu had predicted before the battle, as the news of the attack on Xinguan Town spread. There are many common people and squires who usually please the little devils, and they have successively sent people to nearby towns and cities to report the news.

After learning that Xinguan Town had been attacked, the little devils of these towns and villages soon began to march rapidly in the direction of Xinguan Town. And Noda Shiro, who was discussing the sweeping campaign in the city at the moment, also received the news not long after.

'What about that?' Tubalu attacks Xinguan Town? ’

'Yes, Noda Tai-kun, our plainclothes in Shinseki has just come back from horseback to report the news. said that there was a group of Tu Balu just now, and they were attacking Xinguan. I heard the plainclothes who came back to report that there seemed to be artillery on Tuba Road. ’

'Cannon? What cannon? ’

'Taijun, I don't know much about this. It's just that the plainclothes who reported the news said that the gunfire in the town was very dense, and I was afraid that there were a lot of dirt roads. Worried about the safety of the princes in the town, he hurriedly borrowed a horse and went back to the city to report the news! ’

Captain Inada, who was also involved in the combat meeting, was also surprised when he heard about this situation: "Noda-kun, Xinguan is not far from us. If Tubalu dares to attack so boldly, will there be any conspiracy? ”

In Captain Inada's view, the Eighth Route Army has always been good at guerrilla and raiding warfare. This time the brazen attack on Xinguan Town, aren't you afraid that after they send reinforcements, they will encircle and annihilate the Eighth Route Army attacking Xinguan?

In response to Captain Inada's inquiry, Shiro Noda thought for a moment and said, "No matter what conspiracy these Tsuchihachi have, we must immediately send troops to reinforce Shinseki. The location there is very important, and it must not be occupied by the dirt eight roads, and it must be recaptured.

In addition, according to the information we have previously detected, there is a battalion of troops deployed on the Eighth Road near Xinguan. In addition to this, there is also a regimental combat unit of the Nationalist Government, which is also worthy of vigilance.

Damn, these guys are picking up new levels at this time, and it seems that they are really getting more and more arrogant. Miyamoto Shaoza, you personally lead a squadron with four Type 92 infantry guns to Xinguan for reinforcements.

In addition, I will select a team of 300 people from the Imperial Army. If you can intercept those dirt roads, you must wipe them out. If there is any other situation, send someone back to the city immediately to report the news. ”

'Yes, Your Excellency the Garrison, I will take the men out at once!' ’

Knowing that there was no further ado, the defenders of Yushe quickly dispatched a support force of nearly 500 people. After facing this large army out of the city, it did not march to Zhangzhuang's side, but went to Xinguan's side, and the scouts of a nearby battalion were also very surprised.

'Hmmm! What's going on? Why did these little devils go to the third camp? ’

'I don't know! Anyway, send the news back first. In addition, you ride to the side of the 3rd Battalion and inform the 3rd Battalion Commander of the news. Also, ask what happened in Shinseki. ’

'Yes, squad leader! ’

The scouts of the first battalion, who were responsible for monitoring the movements of the little devils, quickly split into two routes and returned to the battalion headquarters all the way to report the situation. On the other hand, they rushed ahead of the little devils and informed the third battalion, which was also preparing for a counter-sweep, to inform the news.

When a Japanese squad closest to Xinguan finally entered the territory of Xinguan. The soldier who was in charge of the reconnaissance outside quickly informed Zhao Tiehu and his party, who were staying in the town and preparing to evacuate, of the situation.

Knowing that the little devil had dispatched a team to reinforce so quickly, Zhao Tiehu did not hesitate and said, "Miao Lian, it seems that we have to say goodbye here." If nothing else, I'll go to your camp for dinner in the evening.

I ask you to transport these materials back to the base area. As for the reinforcements of the little devils, we will definitely hold them back. If you can, go back and inform Battalion Commander Zhu and ask him to prepare for the counter-sweep as soon as possible.

This time we beat the little devils in Xinguan Town, and it is estimated that the little devils will also retaliate. When the next attack is blocked, I will try to lead the little devils to the side of the Zhong Xuan Army, and see if those Zhong Xuan troops really sit idly by. ”

Hearing this, Miao Licheng was stunned and said, "Captain Zhao, lead the little devils there, okay?" ”

'What's wrong?' Everyone is an anti-Japanese war force, and it is a matter of duty to fight little devils. What's more, compared to the troops we are stationed in Xinguan, they can deploy a regiment here!

If you can pull them in, I guess the little devils will choke enough. Every day, he nests behind enemy lines and talks about the War of Resistance, but he doesn't dare to find trouble with the little devils. Is this still called the War of Resistance and Fighting Devils? You can't just eat and get paid and not do your job, right? ’

Facing Zhao Tiehu's indifferent expression, Miao Licheng, who had heard some of Zhao Tiehu's deeds, didn't say much. After all, there is some truth in Zhao Tiehu's words, but there are probably very few people who really dare to do this!

Pulling the troops of the national army, which has a lot of weapons and equipment and a large number of soldiers, will be launched, and this will have to bear some consequences. But for Zhao Tiehu, even if he makes a mistake, it doesn't matter. Anyway, in a short period of time, he really didn't want to continue to be promoted.

What he wants to do most now is how to weaken the strength of the little devil's troops in this sweeping war. If you can pull the main force of the National * Army into the water, I believe that if the little devil wants to sweep the Eighth Route Army, he must also consider the danger of a fire in the backyard.

Not long after, Zhao Tiehu led three combat detachments, and soon left Xinguan Town and went to the previously selected intersection to set up an ambush. In order to ensure the safety of the transfer of materials, the battalion headquarters guard platoon also joined the ranks of blocking and temporarily cooperated with Zhao Tiehu's action.

Looking at these well-trained Hutou Mountain combat members, most of whom have at least one gun each, the soldiers of the guard platoon of the third battalion who cooperate with the operation are also very envious. What surprised them the most was the mortars carried by the two fighters.

Of course, the grenadiers carried by the other six fighters were also the envy of these fighters. The fact that a mere guerrilla brigade can be equipped with such weapons is really very envious of them.

Fortunately, this time in cooperation with the operation, Zhao Tiehu was also very generous, and each soldier of the guard platoon was issued with thirty bullets. This is also the first time that many soldiers of the guard platoon feel that they finally have no bullets on their bodies.

Although there were plenty of bullets this time, many fighters felt the same. The next blocking battle, I'm afraid it will not be easy to fight. After all, once the little devils come to their aid in a big way, with the little strength they have, I'm afraid they won't be able to stop it for long!
