The Japanese puppet army troops marched mightily in the direction of the county seat, and five Type 95 tanks and 23 armored vehicles had already arrived at the artillery position.

It's just that what annoys these armored soldiers is that by the time they arrived here, the cavalry units of the Independent Regiment had already withdrawn.

The artillery positions were in shambles, the corpses of the devil soldiers could be seen everywhere, and occasionally the seriously wounded could be seen, who were shouting for help in hoarse voices.

Naturally, the devil soldiers in the tanks and armored vehicles would not go out to help, they parked in place, vigilantly looking around, waiting for the arrival of the follow-up troops.

The panzers had solemn expressions on their faces, and they knew that there would definitely be artillery units of the independent regiment in the vicinity.

But they couldn't be the first to return to the county seat, after all, they were going to cover the evacuation of the follow-up infantry.

The six mountain guns of the second artillery company and the four infantry guns of the machine gun company were already rapidly aimed at the tanks and armored vehicles, and the commander of the second artillery company gave the order to fire.

Six mountain guns fired six blasting shells, while four infantry guns fired four high-explosive shells.

Ten shells were fired accurately at tanks and armored vehicles, and as the sound of explosions sounded, one Japanese tank and six armored vehicles were completely destroyed.

The panzers were attacked, and the remaining four tanks hurriedly counterattacked, and shells were fired from the tank guns.

The armored vehicles were advancing rapidly, and these armored vehicles were only equipped with light and heavy machine guns, and these machine gun bullets naturally did not pose a threat to the artillerymen.

Four tanks maneuvered in the direction of the artillery using tank guns, while seventeen armored vehicles followed behind.

The artillerymen saw the tanks and armored vehicles rushing towards their side, and the artillerymen quickly shifted their positions, and they did not dare to fight hard with the armored forces.

In the vicinity of the village where the Japanese headquarters was located, Yue Wu's third platoon and Wang Tieniu's sixth platoon had already set up positions.

Seeing a large number of Japanese puppet troops passing quickly in front of their positions, Yue Wu and Wang Tieniu couldn't help but show excited expressions on their faces.

Their position was very hidden, and the Japanese puppet soldiers were now only concerned about escaping, and they did not notice their position at all.

"The deputy head of the regiment is really a god, brothers, give me a hard beating, and rush out with me in a while."

The sixth platoon commander, Wang Tieniu, held a shell gun in his right hand and a big knife in his left hand, and he couldn't wait to rush out immediately when he looked at him.

Because one squad of the six platoons was left in the town to clean the battlefield, and two platoons had five infantry squads and two grenadier squads.

Five crooked light machine guns began to fire, and six grenadiers quickly fired grenades at the Japanese puppet army.

Fifty riflemen shot at the Japanese puppet army one after another, and bullets came towards the Japanese puppet army like a rain of bullets.

Kang Fei, the sharpshooter in the third platoon, performed well, and while the other fighters were about to pull the bolt to fire the second bullet, Kang Fei ran out of five bullets.

Five bullets were fired, three puppet soldiers, two devil soldiers were easily shot, Kang Fei immediately took the rifle handed over by the recruit, and he continued to shoot.

The shooting of the two platoons did not anticipate the Japanese puppet army at all, and after their shooting, the Japanese puppet army was killed dozens of people again.

It's just that now the Japanese puppet army is busy withdrawing, and no one wants to stay to fight against the shooting of the third and sixth platoons, which makes Yue Wu and Wang Tieniu seize the opportunity.

They kept hitting the Japanese puppet army with bullets one after another, and in a short time, the casualties of the Japanese puppet army exceeded 100 people.

The Japanese units were also a little annoyed, and they immediately organized a dozen grenadiers to fire miniature grenades at the positions.

As the miniature grenades hit the positions of the third and sixth platoons, the number of casualties of the Japanese puppet army stopped.

However, even so, the casualties paid by the retreating Japanese puppet army were very heavy, and their dead number had exceeded 200.

The pursuing forces of the 1st and 2nd companies had already arrived at the village and had managed to occupy it.

Sun Weiguo stood on the roof and held a telescope to observe the situation, and when he saw the Japanese puppet army retreating in embarrassment, Sun Weiguo couldn't help but be a little funny.

"Deputy commander, the cavalry unit asks if it wants to be intercepted." At this time, a squad leader of the cavalry battalion quickly came to Sun Weiguo's side, and he reported anxiously.

"There are still a lot of tanks and armored vehicles in the Japanese army, and they still have cavalry units, tell the cavalry battalion not to intercept them, and they will not chase them." Sun Weiguo gave the order.

The Japanese puppet army still had a lot of people, and they also had cavalry units and more than 20 tanks and armored vehicles, which posed a great threat to the cavalry troops.

"Communications squad, order all units to stop the pursuit and shoot in place." Sun Weiguo immediately gave the order.

The goal of this operation was not to annihilate the Japanese puppet army, but to protect Chengguan Town.

Now that the Japanese puppet army has been defeated, Sun Weiguo will naturally not let the troops pursue, after all, the Japanese puppet army has an advantage in numbers and equipment.

Moreover, Sun Weiguo achieved good results in defensive operations, and after this blow, the Japanese puppet army completely lost the qualification to fight against the independent regiment.

This is very beneficial to the future development of the Independent Regiment, and Sun Weiguo also knows that his Independent Regiment still has many problems at present.

The divisions stopped the pursuit, and they began to stay where they were, firing with light machine guns and rifles.

After the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles dispersed the artillery units, they immediately met with the follow-up troops, and the Japanese puppet army quickly withdrew in the direction of the county seat.

Their evacuation took place during the farewell of the officers and men of the Independent Regiment, who warmly saw them off with their weapons.

After the Japanese puppet army troops broke away from the battle with the independent regiment, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, and it was pitch black all around.

Gauze was wrapped around Takano's right arm, and a bullet hit his right arm as he retreated, but because it was a Type 38 rifle shot, his right arm was only penetrated.

"Taijun, the first regiment of our appeasement army is finished, more than 700 dead and wounded in a regiment, and now there are less than 50 people who can continue to fight."

Zhu Shiqiang came to Kono Shuichi with a pale face, he looked at Takano Shuichi, and said with a miserable face.

The number of his unit was the Ninth Division of the Appeasement Army, and it had three regiments under its command, each with six or seven hundred men.

Garrisoning Chengguan Town is the third regiment troops, the commander of which is Wu Liangxing, and the third regiment has already been completely annihilated by the independent regiment.

This time, it was all the first regiment and the second regiment that followed the Japanese army, and at this time the first regiment of the puppet army had been completely wiped out, and a reinforced battalion of the second regiment also suffered heavy losses.

The puppet army lost thousands of troops in this battle, but Zhu Shiqiang knew that his family was almost exhausted.

"Zhu Sang, don't be sad, I'll give you credit." Shuichi Takano said copingly.

"Captain, the casualties are counted, the tank squadron lost eight tanks, the armored vehicle brigade lost nine armored vehicles, the cavalry squadron lost a cavalry squad, the mortar brigade was completely disabled, and our brigade suffered nearly three infantry squadrons and one machine gun squadron." A captain came up to Shuichi Takano and said in a heavy tone.
