The gunfire stopped, and the last of the wounded were carried down and transported to the rear by the medical team. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Yurou wiped the sweat on her forehead before she had to take a free rest.

Although Yang Tianfeng expressed confidence in smashing the enemy's sweep, he did not guarantee that the county town would not fall into the hands of the enemy. The county government did not blame much for this, but arranged it according to the worst-case scenario. Hundreds of thousands of regular national* troops could not withstand the attack of the Japanese army, and countless cities and territories were lost.

Most of the personnel of the county government have been evacuated to Huangkou Town, and the people of the county have also been evacuated. Zhao Yurou took the initiative to undertake the task of digging trench fortifications on the road behind Tiejiao Mountain, and at this time he was working intensively with thousands of joint defense team members gathered in various villages and towns.

The work of the Yongcheng County Anti-Japanese War Mobilization Committee is very effective, and for now, it is already a very powerful support guarantee to be able to mobilize more than 1,000 stretchers.

A group of recruits crossed the unfinished trench fortifications and hurried to Iron Horn Mountain. There was not much time, and a group of soldiers who had experienced offensive and defensive battles were withdrawn from Tiejiao Mountain. This is the rotational combat method used by Yang Tianfeng, relying on the advantages of geography and defense, increasing or decreasing the number of troops in platoons, so that more recruits can withstand the test of war and increase their experience in actual combat.

There is a battalion of three or four hundred people in this batch of withdrawals, and the battalion commander Tong Zhihe is also an old man under Yang Tianfeng, and he also knows Zhao Yurou, the deputy county magistrate, and Yang Tianfeng's third wife.

"President Zhao, why do you still do all this rough work yourself?" Tong Zhihe was very polite, and even a little flattering, this was completely to see Yang Tianfeng's face.

Zhao Yurou smiled faintly and asked, "How is the battle in front, why did the gunfire stop?" ”

"It's a good fight!" Tong Zhihe's eyebrows fluttered, and he said: "This round of landmines has made the devil cry and call his mother, and he will retreat very embarrassed!" ”

"Can the county be held?" Zhao Yurou's heart was relieved, and she asked expectantly.

"This, it's hard to say." Tong Zhihe scratched his head and said with a sneer: "The devils are just temporarily retreating, who knows if they will attack again?" ”

Zhao Yurou was a little disappointed, and couldn't help sighing, and her emotions were more obvious.

"It's not a big deal if the devil comes again." Tong Zhihe felt that what he said was a little inappropriate, and hurriedly remedied: "Chief Yang is calm and confident. ”

"So?" Zhao Yurou looked at the sky, the sun hadn't set yet, and she couldn't help but nod slightly.

……………

Interspersed and detoured, not only long detours and difficult roads, but also to avoid the eyes and ears of the enemy, to carry out concealment, only when the action has a sudden effect.

Although the troops undertaking the roundabout tasks had guides and were well marked on the map. However, Yang Tianfeng was still not at ease, and he was waiting for the scout's final report, waiting to understand the enemy's current situation, and his next move, before making a final decision.

Although this thunderstorm attack achieved great results, it was too fierce and unexpected to Yang Tianfeng. The enemy retreated to Xiaowang Village, how could they rely on the geographical advantage to continue to consume them?

At this time, in Xiaowang Village, the repulsed Japanese puppet army was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.

Koji Otake's wounds had been bandaged, his head was bandaged, and one arm was hanging from his chest, and he sat there with a gloomy face, not knowing what he was thinking.

It is a shame that the devil officers, artillerymen, and machine gunners suffered many casualties, retreated in a panic, and many corpses were not recovered.

Several devil officers were so angry that their faces turned blue and they gritted their teeth. One of the officers couldn't help it, strode up to Koji Otake, and said angrily: "Your Excellency, please allow me to lead my subordinates to carry out a decisive assault and definitely break through the enemy's defense line." ”

"Yaga!" Otake Koji couldn't vent his anger in his stomach, but now he found the object, and when he raised his hand, there were two big slaps, which made the devil officer's body shake and blood came out of his nose and mouth.

"Loyal Imperial soldiers should not shed their blood here in vain, the enemy is numerous, and occupies an advantageous position. I wouldn't have used such stupid and incompetent tactics until I thought of a way to break the enemy. Otake Koji roared like thunder, even the wound he had just bandaged was oozing blood, and he kicked the devil officer down with hatred, turned around and left.

To tell the truth, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is very strong. They are good at long-distance marching, accurate rifle shooting and bayonet fighting, soldiers are very hard-working, military quality is very good, and the will to fight is particularly tenacious.

However, the Japanese army also has its own set of combat methods, all of which do not deviate from these ranges, and rely heavily on their own superiority in weapons.

The Japanese army at the grassroots level relied heavily on artillery, infantry grenadiers, and heavy machine guns. Once the advantage of firepower is lost, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army will be greatly reduced, and they will not even know how to fight!

As for the sweep, it is a small battle of pursuit and suppression, and naturally it is not like the regular troops, and artillery, planes, and tanks are all fought nonsense. Moreover, the Japanese did not regard the extermination of such a military goal as an important matter.

In the final analysis, it was the Japanese army that was too arrogant and underestimated the enemy. I don't know myself or the other, so I suffered such a big loss. Another important factor is the problem that the Japanese army is difficult to solve -- the strength of troops, which must not only draw out mobile forces to sweep away the anti-Japanese forces, but also defend the occupied areas, and often tear down the east wall and repair the west wall, supplemented by a large number of puppet troops in order to achieve the goal.

Storm the eternal city, or fight the three verticals and completely crush them. It was originally an established strategy for the enemy's sweep, but I didn't expect to encounter so much trouble during its implementation. After a day of fighting, the casualties of the Japanese puppet army have reached more than 300, and even the devils have reimbursed nearly a small team.

Koji Otake sent a telegram, but instead of asking for help, he asked where the other two friendly forces were now. suffered such a big loss, and I couldn't get down on my face. In his mind, as long as the friendly troops arrived, the three columns would inevitably divide their forces to resist, and even if there was a loss of heavy weapons, his troops might not be able to pick up the offensive again and take revenge.

Yes, Koji Otake still hasn't completely woken up from the loss. He felt that it was the slow movement of friendly forces that gave the Third Column the opportunity to concentrate on dealing with him along the way. However, they never expected that the three columns plus the 61st regiment would have an absolute advantage in strength. What's more, there was only one squadron of Japanese troops along the way, and the combat effectiveness of the puppet army was really not flattering.

It is better to cut off one of its fingers than to hurt its ten fingers. After Yang Tianfeng received reinforcements from a regiment, he had a great appetite, and it was no longer the original drag down and attrition, and when the enemy retreated on his own, he announced that he had successfully smashed the sweep.
