"Retreat, let's go to the guard company position and give the devil a third surprise!" Wang Ping ordered decisively.

Xiong Changhe was stunned for a moment, and asked with a look of disbelief: "Commander, there is more!" ”

Wang Ping affirmed: "The Japanese puppet army is so mighty to kill, we must prepare more surprises for them!" ”

"Let's go over now, Battalion Commander Yang, you stay, gather the troops, and hide and wait. The devils have lost so many people here, and they are all devils, so they will definitely leave people to clean up the battlefield. See if there's a bargain to take advantage of. ”

Independent command of operations is what every grassroots commander dreams of.

If you want to climb to a high place, you must have this ability.

Yang Huping knew this truth very well, and as soon as his eyes lit up, he promised: "Please rest assured, the head of the regiment, I promise to complete the task!" ”

Wang Ping couldn't be relieved because of his assurance, but frowned and reminded: "We must control the casualties and achieve the maximum results with the smallest losses." There are still a lot of Japanese puppet troops on the highway, don't put this piece of fat in front of us at the end, we can't eat it because we don't have troops! ”

"Yes! Head! ”

On the highway, the Japanese captain's face was flushed, and his anger from the bottom of his heart made him want to kill people on the spot.

He has always boasted that the imperial army is invincible, at least on the Chinese battlefield, no Chinese army is his opponent.

However, the current situation completely subverted what he had always thought.

The Eighth Route Army, the poorly equipped Eighth Route Army, not only defeated the Imperial Army tactically, but also fought so badly that it didn't even have the idea of counterattacking.

At this time, the vice-captain walked over, his face even more heavy than when he left.

The captain immediately had a very bad premonition in his mind, and then asked with a calm face

"The casualties are out?"

"Hey!" The vice-captain hesitated and replied.

"Sir, the sortie lost a total of 86 people, and there were 36 imperial troops in it...... Among them, 51 people were killed in battle, and 35 people were slightly and seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness! ”

"In the ambush battle, all the losses were the imperial army, a total of 298 people, of which 211 were killed in battle, and 87 were lightly and seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness!"

The captain directly showed a look of disbelief on his face: "Baga! How could the casualties be so large! ”

The deputy captain hurriedly replied: "If it is pure machine-gun fire, with the reaction speed of the troops, even if the enemy is equipped with a lot of heavy machine guns, our losses will not exceed a hundred!" ”

"However, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning! At the same time as the machine-gun fire, four or five hundred grenades were thrown into the road, and many of the grenades exploded in volleys. Most of the soldiers killed in the battle were killed by grenades! ”

At this time, the captain suddenly realized a fact that sent chills down his back!

Last night, under the sneak attack of the Eighth Route Army, the imperial army lost more than 300 people, and more than 300 people in front of them.

You must know that you only have a full infantry brigade of 1,000 people, and even if the brigade headquarters strengthens itself with a mountain artillery squadron, it will only have less than 1,100 people.

With so many troops, they lost nearly 700 people before they could fight face-to-face with the Eighth Route Army, more than half.

The squadron leader didn't dare to imagine how many troops he still had in his hands that could fight after he really encountered the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

At that moment, the captain was scared.

However, as a commander, he did not show all his inner thoughts.

And even if you are really afraid, you can't retreat.

The brigade commander gave himself the task of completely annihilating the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Tianxin Town, and if he did not even see the main force of the Eighth Route Army, he would withdraw his troops, and he would lose so many troops. The captain of the brigade was sure that when he stepped into Linfen City on his front foot, he would be found by military police on his back foot and sent him to a military court.

Whether it is for the honor of the soldier or for his own future, the captain of this battle must continue to fight.

After taking a deep breath, he ordered: "The wounded can't continue with the troops? ”

"Not only will it drag down a large number of combat troops to take care of them, but there will also be wounded people following the troops, which will seriously affect the morale of the troops!"

"An infantry company was transferred from the Imperial Allied Army to protect the wounded and retreat, and retreated directly to Linfen City. I'll send a telegram to Linfen City and ask them to send a car to pick it up! ”

"Other troops, keep moving!"

"The forward troops, in addition to ensuring that there is no Eighth Route Army on the ground, must also ensure that there are no hidden Eighth Route Army troops underneath!"

"It's not far from the Eighth Road's station, we'd rather be slow than be raided by them again!"

Soon, the rifles of the more than 300 puppet soldiers in the vanguard were all loaded with bayonets and spread out to form a large net with a frontal width of more than 200 meters.

"Captain, this is still three kilometers away from the new regiment's station, and it will take an hour at most!" There was no attack by the Eighth Route Army for three consecutive hours, and the deputy captain's nerves tense all the way slowly relaxed.

The captain couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Yo Xi, you can finally fight a decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army!" ”

"Order the troops to keep moving at this pace and not to rush. Although this speed is a little slower, as long as the imperial army has no casualties, it is worth it no matter how slow it is! ”

"Hey!" The vice-captain agreed with the order.

But he still reminded with a worried face: "However, I'm a little worried! We're coming, and the Eight Roads must know. If they retreat before we arrive, then we'll run for nothing! ”

"After all, in the face of powerful Imperial troops, it is often the case that they retreat in battle!"

The captain's brows also furrowed, but soon he made a decision: "If they run away, then we will chase them cannons!" ”

"They have no base areas, no food supplies, and they don't even have equipment and ammunition supplies, and they will definitely not be able to fight us in the trenches. Unless we leave Linfen, we will continue to chase them until we destroy them all! ”

At this moment, the captain with a keen sense of smell suddenly saw a point of light appear on a slope seven or eight hundred meters away.

Despite the fleeting moment, the captain was quite sure that it was caused by the reflection of sunlight from a telescope or scope.

"Someone has been watching us!" The captain shouted with a frown.

Seeing that the vice captain directly showed an inexplicable expression because of his words. The captain pointed to the slope not far away and explained: "There is the Eighth Route Army behind the high ground, and they are observing us with binoculars!" ”

"Do you want to order the artillerymen to kill them!" The vice-captain proposed.

"Shoot now! The people who can equip the Eighth Route Army with binoculars must be high-ranking officers, and it is not bad to be able to kill their commanders! The captain commanded with excitement on his face.
