The chief of staff took a deep breath and analyzed.

"General, I'm not reconciled. However, compared with the independent regiment, the equipment and materials reserved in Laiyuan City and Laiyuan City are more important to us, and they must not be taken away by the Eighth Route Army. ”

As the commander of the Japanese garrison in Laiyuan City, Ono knew better than anyone how much reserves of various equipment and materials in Laiyuan City were.

As a transportation artery, a large amount of equipment and materials captured by the imperial army in front-line operations were transported by road to Laiyuan City for temporary storage when the railway was destroyed by the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, and then transported to the rear through Laiyuan City, a temporary transit station.

The chief of staff was right just now, even if he insisted on eliminating the Independence Regiment.

But as long as the Eighth Route Army took the opportunity to take Laiyuan City, with the equipment of Laiyuan City, they would immediately be able to form at least three independent regiments to continue to fight against the imperial army, and the gains outweighed the losses.

"Eight Tooth Road!" Angry Ono scolded again.

Although he was very unwilling in his heart, for the sake of the overall situation, Ono could only calm himself down, and then ordered decisively.

"Then retreat! Chief of Staff, is it possible to divide the troops, leaving some men to continue the offensive and have a decisive battle with the independent regiment. A part of the imperial army took advantage of the night to return to Laiyuan City and beat away the Eighth Route Army that attacked Laiyuan City! ”

"No way!" The chief of staff shook his head in denial.

"General, we are running out of troops, especially combat units. If you divide the troops again, it will be easy to be broken by the Eighth Route Army! ”

"Then return to Laiyuan City, Chief of Staff, immediately give an order to return to Laiyuan City in the shortest possible time!" Ono no longer hesitated, and ordered very decisively.

"Also, inform us that the troops who are active outside the mountain will assemble immediately, although they are close to Laiyuan City, they are too scattered, and they must concentrate their forces before leaving!"

After pumping out an infantry squadron, the devils still have three infantry squadrons, an artillery squadron, and a heavy machine gun squadron outside the mountain.

They attacked at a distance of four or five from each other, and were scattered outside the mountains with two infantry squads, an artillery squad, and a heavy machine gun squad.

After receiving the assembly order, the captain immediately sent a herald to ask the troops to assemble in the direction of the mountain pass, and then he himself took less than two hundred devils and slaughtered the mountain pass.

Ma Ronghe, commander of the cavalry company of the Independent Regiment, was born in the Northwest Army and was a veritable cavalry background.

After the Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi, it joined the Red Army, because at that time the Red Army lacked guns and ammunition, and it was impossible to form a cavalry unit.

Ma Ronghe, who was born in cavalry, could only leave the cavalry and turn into infantry.

Now that he has been excavated by Wang Ping and served as the commander of the cavalry company, not only has Ma Ronghe restored his status as a cavalryman, but his position is also like riding a rocket.

Because the independent regiment fought with the Japanese army in front and captured a lot, it not only eliminated a cavalry brigade of the Japanese army, but also eliminated many devil cavalry scattered and scattered.

Therefore, the horses and equipment that can be used to form cavalry are very sufficient, and if allowed, it is possible to form a cavalry battalion.

However, Wang Ping only gave Ma Ronghe the establishment of a cavalry company, and in his opinion, any army is more expensive than much, and this kind of cavalry is even more so.

As an old cavalryman, Ma Ronghe knew better than anyone the characteristics of cavalry, difficult training, tragic battles, and heavy casualties. And in general, casualties basically mean sacrifice.

In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the cavalry company, although Wang Ping only gave himself a cavalry company of 100 people, Ma Ronghe recruited more than 150 cavalry.

In Ma Ronghe's words, since you want to train, then pull more people to train, let everyone form combat effectiveness, and then pick out the best trained to join the cavalry company, and the rest as a substitute, once the cavalry company has a loss in combat, it will be replenished immediately to ensure the combat effectiveness of the cavalry company, without spending a lot of time on retraining the cavalry that has been replenished.

Wang Ping and political commissar Cheng Xiao both agreed, and in the end, in order to ensure the training of the cavalry company, they drew almost all the war horses that could be used by the independent regiment and handed them over to Ma Ronghe.

Today, the cavalry company has been in formation for nearly two months.

Two months of intense training, although it is not possible to train the infantry into the elite of the cavalry. However, with a horse charged, a shot on horseback, chopping ...... These most basic cavalry tactical movements, everyone in the cavalry company is very proficient, screaming and asking the company commander Ma Ronghe to fight, and pulling out to find a devil to try his hand.

Finally, after waiting for the regimental headquarters' battle order, not only Ma Ronghe was very happy, but also more than a hundred cavalry under his command were also very happy.

The Japanese army closest to the mountain pass where the Japanese army was assembled was directly selected by the Marong River and became the first test stone since the formation of the cavalry company.

"Platoon Commander Yang, you bring the four machine guns in the company to the front of the devils, use guerrilla warfare, and kill the devil machine gunners from a distance!" Staring at the eager subordinates in front of him, Ma Ronghe directly began to give orders.

"What the cavalry is most afraid of is the machine gun, this devil is equipped with three heavy machine guns and four light machine guns, as long as they kill their heavy machine gunners and make the heavy machine guns useless, the remaining infantry and artillery are lambs to be slaughtered in the eyes of our cavalry, and we can eat them as much as we want!"

The soldiers of the cavalry company are all from infantry, and the cadres are also the original infantry backbone.

Although they became cavalrymen, they did not forget the guerrilla warfare that they were best at when they were infantry.

In addition, now with the help of war horses, fighting guerrilla warfare with devils, the platoon commander is more confident. Without saying a word, he took over the task, and then a dozen cavalrymen left the temporary garrison of the cavalry company with a roar.

The troops led by the Japanese captain were the closest to Luojiawan in the mountain pass, because everyone was waking up in their sleep and hurrying away, and they were very tired. Therefore, the team of nearly 200 people did not have much vigilance.

After all, they had not been attacked in the two days they had been stationed outside the mountain, and as time went on, everyone became lazy.

"Captain, it's less than three kilometers away from Luojiawan!" The vice-captain reminded with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.

"Yo Xi, order the troops to speed up and get to the place to rest for another hour. The troops are too tired, and if they run into the enemy, they will suffer too much! The captain commanded with a frown.

As soon as the order to "da-da-da-da-da......" was exited, a burst of gunfire came.

The captain, who was a little confused just now, suddenly came to his senses.

First he turned over and jumped off the warhorse, and then he lay on the ground under the protection of the guards.

"Bageya Road, it must be the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army. Captain, they're using machine guns to sneak up on us from a distance! The vice-captain who was thrown next to him was very dissatisfied and shouted.

The captain didn't talk nonsense, and gave orders directly with anger!

"The artillery will strike back immediately and take out these cunning sneak attackers!"

Soon, the machine guns that attacked them were dumb in the explosion, and the devils, who had lost a dozen people, continued to advance.

I had just walked less than 500 meters before I was attacked again.

Although the sneak attack lasted for a shorter time than just now, because it was a machine gun that attacked them, more than a dozen devils were killed and wounded in the end.
