From beginning to end, for the little devils stationed in Zaozhuang, they failed to find out the details of the task force, and they did not know that the task force had three combat detachments, which were stationed in three places in Zaozhuang. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even if the Japanese infantry brigade was ambushed this time, Zhao Tiehu concentrated two combat detachments to participate in the ambush for the first time. But even so, many little devils feel that this should be the main force that the Eighth Route Army can pull out in Zaozhuang.

And the Japanese troops who entered Shanting Township to carry out a sweep this time felt that their strength was no less than that of the Eighth Route Army, which ambushed them earlier. And even to some extent, they have an advantage in troops.

At present, the urban-rural junction between Weishan and Tengxian County has been attacked, and even the Eighth Route Army, which is attacking the township, has used mountain artillery and infantry artillery. The Japanese commanders stationed in the two towns also firmly informed that thousands of Eighth Route Army troops were besieging.

Since the main force of the Eighth Route Army of thousands of people was found there, even if there was an Eighth Route Army on Shanting's side, it should be a small force. After all, the Eighth Route Army can't turn into countless main forces out of thin air!

Having said that, the little devil seems to have forgotten that among the armed forces under the jurisdiction of the task force, there are also county brigades, district squads, and village militia teams. Coupled with the already mature military engineering team, the number of local troops is quite a lot now.

The soldiers of these local troops may not be as good as the main force in military ability, but they can occasionally help the gang to make up the number of people, and it is no problem to think about it. Isn't it normal to use the main force of the second detachment plus local troops to gather a thousand troops?

But it was this lack of intelligence that made the Japanese army suffer this time. In addition to the suppression of many sweeping squadrons, even the remaining Japanese troops who fled back to Hujiabao will not last long.

Along the passage opened by the little devil with artillery fire, Zhao Tiehu used the combat detachment directly under him as a sharp knife, and rushed into Hujiabao behind the little devil. With the arrival of a large number of reinforcements, the little devils stationed in Hujiabao were finally annihilated.

The Japanese garrison officer who was far away in Teng County also knew that this was the rhythm of something big when he received a telegram asking for help from the commander of the sweep. If this sweeping force is completely annihilated, then Teng County's side will fall into new chaos.

In the process of reporting the situation to Zaozhuang, the Japanese telegraph operator stationed in Tengxian County said with some frustration: "Zhongzuo, we have lost contact with the front-line troops!" Call many times in a row, but the other party does not answer! ”

As soon as these words came out, the Teng County garrison couldn't help but sit down on the chair and said, "Baga! How did things come to this? Where the hell did these dirt roads come from! Two or three thousand troops, all of them were wiped out so quickly? ”

Faced with the fact that the Teng County garrison officer could not accept this kind of thing, some officers under him also said in a timely manner: "Zhongzuo, what should I do next?" Did the troops we send to Shanting stop them from advancing? Keep going deeper, I'm afraid it's dangerous! ”

'No! It is still necessary to send troops over, concentrate the troops and not disperse, and do not give the Tuba Road a chance to break through. I still don't believe that with so many of our sweeping troops, they can't have been defeated so quickly.

Even if the radio station cannot be contacted now, I believe that there will definitely be a breakthrough of troops. Let the troops we send be ready to meet the breakthrough troops at any time, and rescue the sweeping troops first! ’

'Hey! ’

In the eyes of the Teng County garrison, if the two or three thousand sweeping troops were swept away by the Eighth Route Army, then it would be a question of whether they could hold Teng County, let alone continue to sweep. In this case, he had to rescue as many people as he could.

Even if the next sweep cannot be continued, it is necessary to ensure the safety of some important towns in Teng County. As for the next step, whether the sweep will continue, it will also have to wait for the next combat order given above.

As for the battle that took place in the border area between the two counties at this moment, the Teng County garrison had no time to take care of it. For him, it is his duty to defend Teng County. If there is another news that the county town has been captured, then he really has to apologize for his crimes!

After solving the main force of the sweeping troops, looking at the troops who were cleaning up the battlefield, Zhao Tiehu called Song Dabao to his side and said: "Take the company as a unit, disperse the troops, and focus on hitting those little devils who are surrounded."

Even if you can't wipe them out, you must cripple those little devils. Those devils have been tossing and turning our local troops for so long, and it is estimated that most of them are exhausted now, so I will take this opportunity to give them another hard time.

In addition, all combat units were notified that they would strengthen their air defense alert starting tomorrow. Some people who have gone into the mountains can also be appropriately allowed to come back. But one thing must be noted, once you spot the bomber group of the little devils, hide immediately! ”

With the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army's sweeping troops stationed in Shanting, I believe that the little devil also knows that the Eighth Route Army has set Shanting Township as the base for its main activities. In situations where the infantry is unable to attack, air strikes may be the best means of attack.

At present, Zhao Tiehu is around some villages in Shanting Township, although they have arranged for guerrillas to dig air-raid shelters. However, it still takes some time to implement the timely and effective air defense alert system, so that the people know that they will hide when the wolf smoke rises.

In this case, there will be no large-scale bombing by little devils. After all, the little devils launched a ruthless attack, but I am afraid that they will not care whether it is the Eighth Route Army or ordinary people who bomb it!

With Zhao Tiehu's new round of orders, the companies under the command of the first detachment were quickly assigned tasks. Join up with the martial arts team and guerrillas who are blocking some little devils, and carry out a strong attack on those little devils who are blocked.

In the face of the sudden appearance of a large number of the main forces of the Eighth Route Army, many of the little devil squadrons themselves were tossed badly enough, and many chose to break through and retreat. As for the plan to join the main army, it had to be temporarily suspended.

After dawn the next day, many of the scattered little devils and puppet soldiers were also arrested or killed one by one under the search of the guerrillas and village militia. Of course, there are also some lucky little devils who finally escaped from Shanting Township.

For this small township located in the mountains, many puppet soldiers who picked up a life also secretly swore that they would never come here again if they were killed in the future. As for the surviving little devils, they also have a fear of this place.

When they came early, they thought that this township in the mountains was very strange. Obviously, there are many villages, but there is not a single common person in sight. As a result, they didn't wait for a few days to come in, and they suffered such a catastrophe.

Looking at the little devils who finally escaped in twos and threes, these surviving little devils also began to gather. After hearing about their respective encounters, Cao Dao, a little devil soldier soon said: "Zhongzuo, they are only afraid of danger!" ”

Nearly two days have passed since they received the order to retreat and now they have been beaten and defeated. If the main force was safe and sound, it is estimated that it would have withdrawn from Shanting Township long ago.

But until now, apart from their defeated stragglers, there was no formed force in sight. Ruoda Shanting Township, like a hell with a mouth open and a mouth of blood, devoured the lives of these Japanese puppet soldiers.

'So what do we do?' Will you continue the retreat, or will you stay here and wait? ’

'Wait and see! It's daytime now, and it is estimated that Tubalu will not dare to dispatch a large force. However, it is better to build fortifications and retreat if the situation is not right. I'm sure the city will send troops to reinforce it. ’

Under the advice of these military Cao, the little devils and puppet troops who fled to the highway outside Shanting Township one after another also gathered little by little. To the relief of these surviving Japanese puppet army commanders, the Eighth Route Army really didn't seem to continue the pursuit.

In the afternoon, the large army that came from Teng County to support finally arrived in Shanting Township. Seeing that there were less than 300 troops left, the Japanese army Shaozo who came to help was also incredulous.

'Na! You're all left? ’

'Yes, Your Excellency! It's already afternoon, and I'm afraid that the troops we still have left in the mountains are in danger. Next, do we move on, or retreat? ’

In the face of the inquiries of the surviving Japanese soldiers, the Japanese soldier Shaozuo who led the team also seemed to have a headache. Fortunately, it didn't take long for more than a dozen little devils who escaped to finally bring the news they wanted to know.

'Hujiabao has been captured by Tubalu! A few of us managed to escape! Not far behind us, the Tuba Road has already set up blocking fortifications. If we attack, I'm afraid that the situation will still be unfavorable for us! ’

'What? You guys are broken? ’

'Yes, Shaozo! In last night's battle, Nakasa was unfortunately broken. Originally, we managed to break through with dozens of people, but a large number of mines were planted on the Eighth Road, and many of our warriors were blown up and killed in the breakthrough. ’

Knowing that the main force commanded by Zhongzuo was almost wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, it is estimated that there are only these people left who can break through. If the offensive continues, the troops brought by Shaozo will inevitably pay a lot of price.

Just when Shao Zuo hesitated, the reconnaissance team of the Eighth Route Army, which was ordered to come to reconnoitre, also launched a shooting in a timely manner. Even a small number of rifle shots still made the surviving little devils like frightened birds.

Seeing these surviving Japanese puppet soldiers, they seemed to be frightened. Shao Zuo could only grit his teeth in the end and said: "Order the troops, retreat!" Go back to the city first, and ask Your Excellency the garrison officer to speak! ”

Hearing this order, both the Japanese troops who came to help and the surviving Japanese soldiers seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. For many little devils, if they could, they didn't want to fight the Eighth Route Army in this kind of mountain and forest area.

The reason is that these Eighth Route Army are very good at ambushes, and they must always be careful of the opponent's cold guns when walking on mountain roads. What shocked the little devil even more was that these Eighth Route Army gunners who shot cold seemed to be very accurate.

In many cases, as soon as a gun goes out, someone is bound to fall to the ground. At present, even the sweeping force has been almost wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, and it is really unknown whether their force, which is less than a thousand people, can come out!

If this force is also folded inside, then the situation in Tengxian County will really become out of control. It was precisely because he was worried about such serious consequences that Shao Zuo finally decided to retreat without a fight!
