As the Japanese puppet army stationed in Zaozhuang was defeated and fled out of the city, the main force of the Eighth Route Army and the guerrillas who followed up also went to the city to transfer supplies. The foreign shops opened by many little devils www.biquge.info Pen, Fun, and Pavilion were also emptied by the guerrillas and the people who came with them.

A telegram for help had been received, and the Zaozhuang defenders who were returning from the railway line were ambushed and blocked by the Eighth Route Army on the way back. By the time they arrived at Zaozhuang, it was undoubtedly too late.

As for Zhao Tiehu, who pursued the remnants of the little devil, when he led the team back to Zaozhuang, he also felt that it was a pity. The reason is that the pursuing little devils finally divided their troops, leaving a group of little devils to block the attack and cover the retreat of the others.

By the time Zhao Tiehu solved the blockade of the little devils, the rest of the little devils had already fled and disappeared. After all, in the night pursuit operation, as long as you are not careful, you may lose the target, which makes Zhao Tiehu feel a little regretful!

Considering that the results of tonight's battle were already very rich, Zhao Tiehu finally ordered the pursuit to end the pursuit and return to Zaozhuang, and began to command the troops to transfer supplies. At the same time, his troops were constantly sent to various combat areas to block the little devils returning to the city.

As the last batch of supplies was transported out of the city, Zhao Tiehu, who remained in the city, ordered: "Send a signal and retreat!" ”

Three more signal flares were lifted into the air, and the troops who were blocking the intersections outside the city knew that this was an order to retreat when they saw the signal flares. Not long after, these blocking forces took cover and began to withdraw from the battle.

When the first batch of Japanese puppet soldiers returned to the city, looking at the scene of chaos in the city, they also said in disbelief: "How is this possible? How many Eighth Route Army are coming? Have all our troops in the city been wiped out by them? ”

With the successful return of these Japanese puppet troops to Zaozhuang City, many of the little devil expatriates who survived also began to cry about their misfortunes. Of course, it is inevitable to cry and complain that the Eighth Route Army has 'taken them by force'.

It's just that in response to the complaints of these expatriates, the little devil officers who returned to the city are more concerned about the whereabouts of those senior officers in the garrison headquarters. After searching the city, they did not find the bodies of Akiya Kobayashi and others.

And among the diaspora, there are also humanitarians: "During the earlier fighting, we heard the sound of gunfire constantly moving outside the city. If nothing else, you should be rewarded by searching outside the city. ”

With the accounts of these expatriates, the Japanese puppet army who returned to the city cleaned up the mess while sending troops along the road pursued by Zhao Tiehu to find Kobayashi Shoya and others who had escaped from the city. After all, this situation needs to be solved by them returning to the city.

As for the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army that had left Zaozhuang, many little devil officers directly pretended not to see it. They fought enough in the previous blockade battle, and now they are sending troops to pursue, so I am afraid that the consequences will not be too good.

In the eyes of many troops who returned to the city, their main task now is not to chase down the retreating Eighth Route Army, but to regain control of Zaozhuang City, and send more people out of the city to find Kobayashi Akiya and others who may still be alive.

At this moment, on the several mountain roads leading to Yufeng Ridge, the troops and guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, who were transporting a large number of supplies, also seemed very happy. For these people involved in the transfer of supplies, this trip into the city is undoubtedly too exciting.

Zhao Tiehu, who led the commando team, waited until he entered the mountain, and the troops that transported materials had already returned to the secret camp base one after another. In fact, the third detachment has already set up a number of secret camps near Yufeng Ridge.

If the little devils pursued along the road, I am afraid that they would also find that the Eighth Route Army, which was transporting supplies, was moving in several directions. As long as these materials are transported into the mountain, the third detachment will also carry out some sorting and storage of the materials.

Zhu Zixi, who returned to the station one step earlier than Zhao Tiehu, also breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Zhao Tiehu and the commando team had returned safely. The officers who led the third detachment stood in the mountains to welcome the arrival of Zhao Tiehu and his party.

Zhao Tiehu, who saw this scene, said very directly: "What? Everyone is in a panic, do you have nothing to do? All the supplies brought into the mountains have been stored? ”

'Detachment leader, these things are already being done. ’

Zhu Zixi, who was trained, didn't refute anything, he knew that Zhao Tiehu didn't like this kind of scene of ushering in gifts. But as the captain of the detachment, the detachment leader can't turn a blind eye when he arrives at the base, right? After two sentences, there will be no loss of meat.

On the contrary, Chen Wan, who returned early, stepped forward at the right time and said, "Detachment leader, the commander sent a telegram earlier to inquire about the situation of the detachment. The commander has an explanation, and after you come back, you will report to the column on the specific combat situation. ”

'Okay, I got it!' You wait a minute, I'll come over when the team is settled. ’

'Yes! ’

For the column to pay attention to the outcome of this battle, it is normal in Zhao Tiehu's opinion. It's just that for Zhao Tiehu, the successful capture of Zaozhuang is just the first step for the commando to go out to fight this time.

In order to truly solve the encirclement and suppression crisis faced by the detachment this time, he has a lot to do next. But he believes that as long as he continues to persevere, he believes that sooner or later he will be able to solve the infantry brigade of the little devil.

Last night's battle, although the task force paid a lot of price. Correspondingly, the losses of the little devils who were raided were not small. If the little devil wants to stabilize the situation in Zaozhuang, it is necessary to send additional troops to garrison Zaozhuang.

In addition, the safety of the rest of the counties will also attract the attention of the little devils. In this way, the Little Devil Infantry Brigade that came from Jining naturally needed to allocate troops to garrison in various places in Zaozhuang.

In order to ensure the safety of the counties in Zaozhuang, the little devils need to allocate a lot of troops to garrison. In addition, after the arrival of the infantry brigade, the encirclement and suppression troops sent to Tengxian County, I believe that there will not be too many reserve troops left.

And Zhao Tiehu, who came out this time, led the commando team to freely choose the combat target. Compared with the little devils stationed in various counties or towns, the troops could not leave the garrison at all, but Zhao Tiehu could choose the target to attack at any time.

When he came to the temporary command post of the erected detachment and read the telegram sent by the column, Zhao Tiehu also said calmly: "Inform the column of the results of this battle, and inform our department that in the next stage, we will use offense and defense to break the heavy encirclement of the little devils."

Due to the current situation in the territory is relatively serious, the materials seized by our department cannot be handed over to the column for the time being. After the operation is over, we will inform the specific route and plan for the transfer of materials. Finally, take a column and pay attention to the enemy situation in the direction of Linyi. ”

After listening to the content of Zhao Tiehu's call, Chen Wan said curiously after recording it: "Detachment leader, you said that the little devil will attack the main force of our column?" ”

'An attack should be unlikely!' The terrain on the Yimeng side of Mount is more complicated than ours. If the little devils really had a way to attack, I am afraid that a large-scale sweeping operation would have been organized long ago.

Now that Yimeng Mountain has entered winter, the little devil wants to go into the mountain to encircle and suppress, but he is only afraid of greater consumption than usual. I reminded the column of the enemy situation on the Linyi side, and I also felt that the little devils should take blockade actions to interrupt our communication with the column.

In order to prevent the communication front we have established from being discovered by the little devils, I feel it is necessary to remind the column. At this time, except for our side to deal with the little devils, it is better to wait for the fighters in other places. ’

After briefly explaining to Chen Wan, knowing that this little girl was very curious, Zhao Tiehu also briefly explained the reason why he reminded the column. Zhao Tiehu didn't tell her more other things.

After receiving the telegram from the task force, Zhang Jingshan, the commander of the column, also said with a sigh of relief: "This tiger boy really has some ability. Not even half of the troops were used, and Zaozhuang City was really captured.

Although I don't know how many supplies this kid brought back from Zaozhuang in this battle. However, Zaozhuang is a military town for little devils, and I believe that the harvest of this battle should not be too small, this kid has made a lot of money this time! ”

Listening to Zhang Jingshan's words, political commissar Li Yu also smiled and said: "This is his strength!" can ignore the little devil's heavy troops and choose to attack Zaozhuang suddenly, this kid's judgment and decision-making on the battlefield seem to be really keen.

It's just that after the little devil knows the news, I'm afraid that he will also make up his mind to sweep and encircle them. The real battle depends on how he deals with the heavy pressure of the little devil next.

If they can survive the first hurdle, the task force should be able to gain a foothold in Zaozhuang. After the New Year, maybe we can cooperate with the task force, and maybe we can open up the base areas of the two armies. ”

The establishment of an anti-Japanese base behind enemy lines in Yimeng Mountain by the first column seemed to be a successful choice. It's just that the whole column knows that the Yimeng Mountains are very poor, and it is not easy for the troops to stay here.

If the troops wanted to develop further, the column had to expand its base areas and move the troops to other more fertile places. If it can be connected with the base area of Zaozhuang, it will undoubtedly be very beneficial to the column.

At least a situation like this year, where winter supplies are barely being raised, is likely to improve next year. It's just that both Zhang Jingshan and Li Yu know that it is not an easy task to open up the two base areas behind enemy lines.

Regardless of whether the Japanese troops stationed in the direction of Linyi or Jining will accept the birth of such an outcome. After all, after the two base areas are connected, it will also pose a major threat to the Japanese army.

It's just that after seeing the task force arrive in Zaozhuang, the development is very good. After the development of a large number of guerrillas, a number of fortress villages were also established. Even if it is a regular army, the expansion of the task force is good.

In this case, Zhang Jingshan felt that if he gave Zhao Tiehu some more time, when the strength of the task force exceeded 1,000 and was qualified to be expanded into a main force, maybe Zhao Tiehu would bring him a bigger surprise.

If Zhao Tiehu can survive the difficulties this time, and wait for the further development and growth of the task force after the Chinese New Year, how many troops will the little devil send to be able to suppress the development of the task force?

At least as far as the first column is concerned, many of the leaders of the column feel that Zhao Tiehu, who Zhang Jingshan reported to apply for transfer, is indeed a tiger general. It is also a very lucky thing for the first column to have such a tiger general under his command!
