Chapter 171: Good News Arrived
As soon as Takano Shuyi heard the loss of his troops, he felt a wave of dizziness in front of him, and his body couldn't help but shake twice.
He himself knew that the so-called mortar brigade was completely disabled for the sake of good sound, but in fact the mortar brigade only rescued hundreds of wounded, most of whom were seriously wounded, and I was afraid that they would die before they returned to the county seat.
And because the Japanese puppet army retreated in a panic, most of the mortars and shells of the mortar brigade were abandoned on the position.
There is nothing wrong with describing the mortar brigade as completely annihilated, but in order not to be held accountable, they must report it with the phrase "completely disabled".
"Bagaya Road, the hateful Zhina pig, the hateful Sun Weiguo, I ...... Poof......"
As soon as Takano Shuyi spat out a mouthful of blood, his body fell directly to the ground, and he passed out directly.
Several Japanese officers hurriedly sent Takano to an armored car, while the hygienist examined him.
The Japanese puppet army knew that Takano Shuichi was unconscious, and their morale became even more low, and all the Japanese puppet soldiers wanted to return to the county seat as soon as possible.
Several puppet army officers looked at their troops, and while looking at the annoyance on the faces of the Japanese officers, they quietly came to the front of the Japanese officers.
After the puppet army officers came to the Japanese officers, they whispered a few words, and their words moved the Japanese officers.
The Japanese captain nodded, a grim expression on his face, and then a squad and a company of puppet troops began to slow down the march.
The night was late, and it was very cold in the middle of the night in January, inside the Fourth Army Division Headquarters of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.
Commander Zhou stood in the courtyard of the headquarters in a military uniform, his eyes looked in the direction of Pingding County, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.
The Pingding County Radio Station has never been able to get in touch, which makes Commander Zhou's heart full of worry, and he has already sent a communications corps to Pingding County to check the situation.
Political Commissar Liu was worried about Commander Zhou's body, so he took a military coat and came behind Commander Zhou, and then draped the general's coat on Commander Zhou's body.
"Commander, there will be no problem with Weiguo, you better go back and rest early, there is news of the independent regiment, I will inform you immediately."
Political Commissar Liu looked at Commander Zhou in front of him, and he said softly that Commander Zhou had old injuries, and Political Commissar Liu was very worried about Commander Zhou's physical condition.
At present, the Pingding County Independent Regiment is directly under the leadership of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region Command, but Pingding County is the scope of activities of the Fourth Army Division, so the Independent Regiment is also under the command of the Fourth Army Division.
It can be said that the Pingding County Independent Regiment was under the dual leadership of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the Fourth Army Sub-region, and Commander Zhou and Political Commissar Liu had high hopes for the Independent Regiment.
"Political Commissar Liu, Comrade Weiguo, I trust it, and I will wait here for the news of their victory," Commander Zhou said with a calm face.
Political Commissar Liu's heart was very complicated, and at the same time, several staff officers of the military sub-district in the courtyard also showed helpless expressions on their faces.
They felt that Sun Weiguo's independent regiment was indeed very capable of fighting, but the Japanese puppet army faced by the independent regiment had an absolute advantage in terms of strength and equipment.
Moreover, the Japanese army also has tanks, armored vehicles and other arms to help in the war, and the independent regiment and the Japanese puppet army will definitely suffer losses if they fight positional warfare.
The staff officers felt that if Sun Weiguo could lead the troops to break out after the independent regiment suffered heavy losses, then Sun Weiguo would be terrible.
At this time, the communication soldier in the house quickly came to Commander Zhou and Political Commissar Liu, and the communication soldier held a telegram in his hand.
"Commander, political commissar, the radio of the independent regiment restored the signal, they sent a good news, after a day of fierce fighting, the independent regiment has now defeated the Japanese puppet army troops, the operation of the independent regiment annihilated more than 1,000 Japanese puppet troops, more than 300 casualties, seized a large number of weapons and ammunition. Deputy Regiment Commander Sun Weiguo asked the military sub-district to send troops to Pingding County to transport weapons and ammunition. ”
After the signal soldier saluted, he immediately reported the contents of the message he had just received.
Commander Zhou exhaled, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.
"Okay, this Sun Weiguo has lived up to the title of the first general of the military division awarded to him by Commander Zhou, and if he fights well, he will immediately send a report to the military region."
Political Commissar Liu clasped his hands together, an excited smile appeared on his face, and he immediately conveyed the order.
The communications soldier walked briskly into the house, and he began to send electricity to the military district.
When Commander Zhou heard such good news, he took out a cigarette and lit it, with a joyful expression on his face.
The staff officers in the courtyard widened their eyes, and they could hardly believe that what they had heard was true.
When the good news came, all the personnel of the two commands, whether it was the Fourth Army Sub-district or the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, were overjoyed.
Commander Nie of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and Commander Zhou of the Military Sub-district sent a telegram to the Independent Regiment at the same time, praising the achievements of the Independent Regiment, and they separately praised Sun Weiguo.
At this time, the troops of the Independent Regiment had begun to shrink their strength, and the troops began to assemble in Chengguan Town.
The officers and soldiers of the second company began to quickly fill the anti-tank trenches in Chengguan Town, and the tanks that fell into the trap, Sun Weiguo asked the soldiers to dig a slope.
Tanks are a good thing, if it weren't for the mountain artillery in their own troops, I'm afraid that the Japanese tanks would bring a lot of casualties to the independent regiment.
In this operation, the independent regiment destroyed seven tanks, and one tank fell into a trap.
Tanks that fall into the trap can continue to be used, and the tank has artillery and machine guns, which is good even if it is used as a stationary gun.
"Gather all the destroyed tanks and armored vehicles, and I'll see if they can be repaired later." Sun Weiguo was afraid that the soldiers would continue to destroy these tanks and armored vehicles, so he hurriedly asked Luo Hongyi to convey his orders.
The fighters quickly gathered together the seven destroyed tanks and armored vehicles, some of which had been completely destroyed into a pile of scrap metal.
However, the two tanks destroyed by Sun Weiguo with Molotov cocktails can still be repaired, and these two tanks only have broken engines, and they can continue to be used by replacing them with other tank engines.
There are five armored vehicles that can be repaired, but this requires professional tools, which stumped Sun Weiguo.
"Send the seriously injured to Nanzhuang Village to recuperate, and the lightly injured continue to stay in Chengguan Town."
Without professional tools, Sun Weiguo could only solve other problems first, and he solved the problem of the wounded first.
This time the regiment suffered more than 300 casualties, of which more than 200 were wounded, and only a few dozen fighters were killed.
The entire strength of the independent regiment is more than 1,000 people, and such casualties can already be described as heavy losses.
However, this operation is of extraordinary significance, they brought heavy casualties to the Japanese puppet army, played the prestige of the independent regiment, and made it clear to the people that the independent regiment is the people's soldiers, and in order to protect the people, the independent regiment will not be afraid of sacrifice.
