Chapter 297: Killing Chickens with a Knife

In East Huangshui Town, the chief of staff of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Army stood on the wall, and he held a telescope and looked into the distance.

Seeing that the Japanese troops were gradually annihilated, the chief of staff of the Japanese army showed a frightened expression on his face, he put down the binoculars, and his brows furrowed tightly.

When Matsumoto Satoshi left with his troops, he persuaded Matsumoto Satoshi, but Matsumoto Satoshi didn't listen to his advice at all.

Now the troops led by Satoshi Matsumoto have been almost completely annihilated, which made the chief of staff of the Japanese army worried.

"What's going on, have the troops been contacted, how long will it be before they come here." When the chief of staff of the Japanese army saw the communications corps coming to his side, he hurriedly asked.

When he realized that Matsumoto's troops were encircled, he immediately contacted the Japanese troops in Yangqu County by telephone.

He issued an order to the Japanese troops stationed in Yangqu County, asking them to quickly reinforce Donghuangshui Town with all their troops.

The Japanese troops stationed in East Huangshui Town had an infantry brigade, and in addition to the Japanese troops in East Huangshui Town, there were also three infantry squadrons in Yangqu County.

After receiving the notice from the chief of staff of the Japanese army, except for one infantry squadron that remained in the county seat, the remaining two squadrons immediately came over for reinforcements.

You must know that there is only one mountain artillery squadron and one infantry squad in East Huangshui Town, and such a garrison force is simply vulnerable.

"Chief of Staff, look, the troops of the Eighth Route Army have wiped out all the troops led by the captain."

The Japanese squad leader, who was also on the wall, shouted loudly, and at this time, the Japanese troops led by Satoshi Matsumoto had been wiped out by the first regiment of troops.

After the elimination of Matsumoto Musang's troops, the main force of the 1st Battalion began to assemble in Wangtan Village, and at the same time prepared the regimental headquarters of the 1st Regiment and began to contain from Zhengjiazhai Village to Dahan Village.

Under the command of Zheng Jingjing, the artillery company quickly moved four mountain guns and four mortars to the nearby high ground outside Dahan Village to prepare for the shelling of Donghuangshui Town.

Fu Tao, the commander of the second battalion, had already brought the deputy battalion commander Wang Kunyao to the regiment headquarters set up in Dahan Village at this time, while Sun Weiguo and Zhao Lerong were discussing the battle plan here.

"Regiment commander, chief of staff." After Fu Tao and Wang Kunyao came to the regiment headquarters, they saluted Sun Weiguo and said.

Sun Weiguo nodded, and he motioned for Fu Tao and Wang Kunyao to sit on the chairs.

"According to the analysis of the information we have obtained, the Japanese troops in East Huangshui Town have only one mountain artillery squadron and one infantry squad, and the number is not very large. Fu Tao, the task I gave to your second battalion is to attack Donghuangshui Town and completely annihilate the Japanese troops. ”

Sun Weiguo looked at Fu Tao, and he said with a serious expression.

Compared with the troops of the first battalion, Fu Tao's second battalion still lacked a machine gun company, but through this capture, Sun Weiguo temporarily supplemented the second battalion with three Type 92 heavy machine guns, and also supplemented two Type 92 infantry guns to the second battalion, allowing them to form the eighth company, that is, the machine gun company of the second battalion.

"Regiment commander, one of our battalions fighting such a small number of Japanese soldiers is simply killing chickens with a knife." Wang Kunyao said with a smile.

But the expression on Sun Weiguo's face was very serious, and Sun Weiguo remembered the precedent before the first battalion.

If it weren't for the quick response of officers such as Zhu Jianwei and Huang Guohua, perhaps the Japanese troops would have fled in the encirclement.

"Although the first battalion has won the battle, there are many problems in the troops, and I hope that you in the second battalion will pay attention to this. This time, I asked Director Zhu of the regimental headquarters to follow you to command the operation, and I hope that you will not make mistakes with the first battalion, and the artillery company of the regimental headquarters will also be assigned to you to fight. ”

Sun Weiguo continued, his face full of serious expressions.

"Yes, Captain." Fu Tao and Wang Kunyao stood up, they saluted Sun Weiguo, and replied with serious expressions.

Sun Weiguo handed over the combat mission of attacking Donghuangshui Town to Fu Tao's second battalion, and after deploying the combat mission, Sun Weiguo hurried to the first battalion of Wanmutan Village.

Wangtan Village is located in the center of Yangqu County and Donghuangshui Town, and Yangqu County has a road to Donghuangshui Town.

According to the information provided by Ge Haifeng's reconnaissance company, the Japanese army in Yangqu County assembled and dispatched two infantry squadrons and was marching along the road from the west towards Donghuangshui Town.

Sun Weiguo asked the main force of the first battalion to assemble in Wanmutan Village, and his idea was to use the troops of the first battalion to send reinforcements.

In Wanmutan Village, the first battalion set up a battalion headquarters here, and the battalion commander Yin Jin stood in the battalion headquarters with a blue face, and he looked at the four company commanders.

The four company commanders had already summed up their mistakes in the battle, and Wang Tieniu, the company commander of the first company, even took the initiative to request punishment.

"Our first battalion disappointed the regiment commander this time, and the regiment commander didn't even give us the task of attacking Donghuangshui Town this time."

Yin Jin sat down in his chair, he looked at the four company commanders with a disappointed face, and his eyes flashed helplessly.

Four company commanders, you look at me, I look at you, and no one is talking.

But at this time, Sun Weiguo walked in from the outside.

Looking at the listlessness of the officers of the first battalion, the mood on Sun Weiguo's face was not very good.

You must know that the mood of the officers has a great impact on the soldiers, and if they are seen by the soldiers, I am afraid that the morale of the first battalion will be greatly damaged.

"What's wrong, why do you have such an expression." Sun Weiguo came to the camp headquarters, and he asked softly.

The officers immediately stood up, and they saluted Sun Weiguo, and Wang Tieniu, who had a fiery personality, directly explained the reason why the officers were depressed.

"There were a lot of problems with the troops in the previous battles, but you just need to be aware of that. Yin Jin, you have all seen the road south of Wangtan Village, the Japanese army has two infantry squadrons from here to reinforce Donghuangshui Town, I will assign the reconnaissance company and guard company directly under the regiment to you for command, I will give you a task, completely annihilate these two infantry squadrons, Chief of Staff Zhao of the regiment headquarters will assist you in commanding, this time there will be no problems. ”

Sun Weiguo looked at Yin Jin, and he said with a serious face.

When Yin Jin heard that Sun Weiguo was going to hand over the task of annihilating the two Japanese infantry squadrons to himself, he couldn't help but smile on his face.

Wang Tieniu and other officers were even more pleased, and they looked at Sun Weiguo excitedly.

"Commander, don't worry, this time we will definitely wipe out all the little devils, and there will be no mistakes, if we even have problems, I will shoot them."

Looking at Sun Weiguo in front of him, Wang Tieniu immediately expressed his determination, and a firm expression appeared on his face.

Sun Weiguo came to Wang Tieniu's side, and he gently patted Wang Tieniu's shoulder.
