Chapter 42 Commendations from all sides

Knowing that the 3rd Brigade of the 136th Wing of the 18th Brigade of the 109th Division of the Japanese Army from Pingding County was encircled by the Eighth Route Army, more than 500 Japanese troops were dispatched from Shouyang County, more than 300 troops were dispatched from Yangquan County, and even the Itohui Squadron of Pingding County also dispatched more than 100 people to advance towards Meng County.

The Japanese army planned to use these reinforcements to encircle the troops of the Eighth Route Army and cooperate with the Third Brigade to completely annihilate these Eighth Route Army units.

But they did not know that under the persuasion of Sun Weiguo, the troops of the military sub-division immediately withdrew from the battle and prepared to use guerrilla warfare against them.

The district squad, which annihilated more than 300 Japanese troops, withdrew from Meng County under the leadership of Sun Weiguo and marched towards Pingding County.

The seriously wounded of the district squad temporarily stayed in the military sub-district to recuperate, while the lightly wounded followed the troops to advance, and Liu Qian returned with the district squad to take care of the lightly wounded.

There were more than 50 people in the district squad that set out for Mengxian, but when they returned, there were only a dozen people, including the lightly wounded.

Sun Weiguo and the others were all slightly injured, and the weapons and ammunition of the district squad also lost a large number.

Before, the district squad had three grenadiers and eight light machine guns, but now there is only one grenadier and only three light machine guns.

In the final battle, the grenadier squad also suffered casualties, especially two infantry squads, which were almost completely wiped out.

Sun Weiguo's mood was not very good, even when the military sub-district summed up the achievements, the district squad was rewarded by the military sub-district for annihilating more than 300 people, but Sun Weiguo was still in a low mood.

sacrificed more than 20 people and seriously injured more than a dozen people, such a price made Sun Weiguo very sad, especially the soldiers who died in the charge of the five battalions, which made Sun Weiguo blame himself.

The military sub-division conservatively estimated that the Japanese army had lost at least two squadrons of more than 400 people, while the military sub-division suffered more than 300 casualties.

This should be regarded as a victory, and it is already rare for the Eighth Route Army, which is backward in equipment, to be able to play such a record.

However, as Sun Weiguo, the proposer of the entire battle plan, he felt that he should be responsible for the more than 300 casualties.

"Sun Weiguo, your face is ugly, didn't the head of the military division praise you, you should be happy."

Liu Qian was wearing a large military uniform, she came to Sun Weiguo, and seeing that Sun Weiguo was not in a very good mood, Liu Qian said with a puzzled face.

"No, we won the battle, how could I be in a bad mood." Sun Weiguo cheered up and said.

He is the backbone of the unit and the supreme commander of the unit, and he must not have any depression at this time.

Otherwise, the morale of these dozen or so people left in the district squad will be very low, which will bring a devastating blow to the district squad.

"More than 50 people in our district squad have annihilated 300 devil soldiers, we are more powerful than the main force."

"Follow Platoon Commander Sun, we will definitely be able to win the battle, and we will return victorious."

"Damn, let's continue to make a comeback when we go back to Pingding County, pull up his team of hundreds of people, and let's beat Pingding County to the ****."

Several of the warriors began to talk, and the sad expressions on their faces were gone, replaced by hopeful ones.

They firmly believed that under the command of Sun Weiguo, they would still be able to continue to win the battle.

Several squad platoon leaders such as Hong Zhiqiang, Cheng Zhan, and Liang Tieniu talked with the soldiers, encouraging their confidence.

The sad expressions on the faces of more than a dozen soldiers disappeared completely, and they followed behind Sun Weiguo with firm steps, striding towards Pingding County.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, the district team had already arrived in the territory of Pingding County, and the soldiers were already very tired, so Sun Weiguo had to ask the soldiers to stop advancing and start resting.

At the same time, Hasegawa in Qingcheng City found that the Eighth Route Army had all been evacuated, and he would set off again with friendly forces in Shouyang County.

Along the way, Hasegawa encountered a continuous ambush by the main force of the military division, and after paying more than 100 casualties, Hasegawa did not dare to rush in.

Just when Hasegawa was fighting with the troops of the Fourth Army Division, the battle report of the annihilation of more than 400 people by the Pingding County District Squad in cooperation with the main force of the Army Division began to spread.

The forces of all parties have received this news, which is news that has shocked them.

Not a single division of the regular army was no match for a brigade of the Japanese army, and there was even an example of a regular division being chased and fought by a Japanese brigade in the North China battlefield.

However, now the local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army have resisted the attack of a large Japanese army and eliminated more than 400 people, and this result is very brilliant.

The first to react was the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and Commander Nie sent a telegram to the entire military region to commend the operations of the Pingding County and District Squadrons and the Fourth Army Division.

The head of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army also sent a telegram of commendation, and in the telegram of commendation, Commander Nie of the Military Region and the head of the headquarters of the military region specifically asked who the squad in the command area was fighting.

Zhou Jianping immediately reported Sun Weiguo's situation to the Military Region and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, and at the same time, the Commander's Department of the Second Theater also sent a commendation telegram to the Fourth Army Division.

A series of commendation telegrams were sent to the Fourth Army Division, and Zhou Jianping and Political Commissar Liu knew very well that Sun Weiguo of the district squad was about to become famous all over the world.

The two of them were both happy and worried, they were happy that such a capable person appeared in their own troops, and what they were worried about was whether the head of the military region and the headquarters would leave Sun Weiguo with them?

Of course, this news also reached the Japanese army, and the Japanese army was very angry about this matter.

On the one hand, they denied the Chinese side's propaganda that they would not admit that more than 400 Japanese troops were annihilated by the local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army.

On the other hand, the Japanese army quickly withdrew the troops from Pingding County to reinforce Meng County for defense, and they were afraid that the district team led by Sun Weiguo would attack Pingding County.

For this district squad that made them lose face, the Japanese army did not want to teach a lesson, but now they have no extra troops.

The top brass of the Japanese army has already begun to draw up an operational plan for sweeping Pingding County, and of course this plan can only be implemented after besieging the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.

Sun Weiguo was not clear about these things at all, and Sun Weiguo was lying on the ground resting at this time.

A day's combat and a night's march made Sun Weiguo a little tired, of course, while resting, he also had to listen to the nearby situation to prevent a sneak attack by devil soldiers.

"Why don't you take care of your body, you quickly take off your shirt, and I'll help you deal with the wound, otherwise it will be troublesome if it becomes inflamed."

When Sun Weiguo was resting, Liu Qian quietly came to Sun Weiguo's side, and she whispered.

She was wearing a loose military uniform, and when she lowered her head and wanted to lie on the ground Sun Weiguo pulled up, Sun Weiguo could see the white inside through the neckline.

Liu Qian didn't seem to be aware of this, and seeing that Sun Weiguo didn't stretch out her right hand, she bent down and pulled Sun Weiguo's arm directly with both hands.

Sun Weiguo can clearly see the red belly pocket inside, as well as the plump of the two unwilling to be restrained.
