After the order was issued, without waiting for the instructor Liang Cheng to open his mouth to object, he took a submachine gun thrown by the guard and rushed to the battlefield!

More than a dozen cadres and soldiers, either holding pistols or submachine guns, rushed out.

The instructor, who was about to speak against it, could only swallow back the words that had already been spoken, and then ordered the guards beside him.

"What are you doing? Give me a submachine gun and rush over with the battalion commander. Be sure to protect the battalion commander! ”

After nearly twenty pistols and submachine guns joined the battle, the one-sided situation on the battlefield finally stabilized. The warrior with the rifle in his hand, with the cooperation of the pistol, counterattacked little by little, from the beginning of a warrior against a devil, slowly developed to two fighters against a devil, and in the end, three fighters against a devil.

The whole white-knuckle battle lasted for twenty minutes before stopping.

"Lao Liang, are you okay?" Seeing that the instructor was covered with blood, Xiong Changhe hurriedly asked.

"I'm fine, but the price we paid in order to take this stronghold is not ordinary!" Liang Cheng shook his head and said with a painful expression.

Among the corpses everywhere, although the devils accounted for the majority. However, there are also many Eighth Route Army, although Xiong Changhe organized a large number of pistols and submachine gunners to participate in the battle, on average, the casualties of a battalion are still very large, killing two devils, he will definitely have to sacrifice a soldier, plus the wounded on the battlefield, the loss of the troops will be even greater!

Xiong Changhe's already solemn face became heavy at this time: "The casualties are a bit big. However, if we don't fight this battle, we don't know the huge gap between us and the devils! ”

"Also, after this white-knuckle battle, the surviving soldiers, that is, well-deserved veterans, as long as the qualified recruits are added and trained a little, the combat effectiveness of the troops will definitely be stronger than before!"

"So, instructor, don't be too sad, it's impossible to fight without casualties!"

"Besides, there are 400 devils we killed before and after this battle, and even if we sacrifice 200 people, in terms of the proportion of casualties, we have earned."

Liang Cheng nodded affirmatively: "Old Xiong, you are right, this is indeed a big victory. ”

"If our troops want to get stronger and stronger, such a tough battle must be experienced!"

"I immediately organized the troops to clean up the battlefield, and the three companies held on to the front for one more minute, and the casualties could be one more point. We must hurry up and retreat as soon as possible! ”

The headquarters of the Japanese army brigade in Linfen City, the brigade commander, Major General Kawaguchi, was very angry. The whole person is like an angry lion, scolding whoever he catches.

Also, no matter who it is, in this position, in the face of this situation, they are all furious.

Before he officially took office, a county seat in the jurisdiction was lost, and more than 1,000 imperial troops were lost before and after.

After taking office, the situation in the jurisdiction has not yet been sorted out, and now there is an accident again!

Hundreds of Eighth Route Army troops passed through their own jurisdiction with a large amount of equipment and ammunition, and not only did they not stop it, but they didn't know it at all, which was completely a slap in the face.

Therefore, after knowing that these Eighth Route Army were going to be killed back from Hongcun, Major General Kawaguchi issued a strict order to the defenders and reinforcements of Hongcun's stronghold that Hongcun must be held and these Eighth Route Army blocked. Otherwise, all officers above the rank of second lieutenant will be engaged in military law!

However, even so, the Hongcun stronghold was still taken by the Eighth Route Army.

At this moment, the reinforcements he sent out were still struggling to advance nearly eight kilometers away from Hongcun.

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, more than 400 imperial troops, they want guns, cannons, and strong house fortifications, they can't even withstand the attack of a main battalion of the Eighth Route Army, are they all stationed?" Major General Kawaguchi, who was holding back his anger, couldn't help it anymore, and stared at the chief of staff and scolded.

Seeing the adjutant rushing over from the nearby telecommunications room, he stared at him and asked, "What about the reinforcements?" Haven't the reinforcements broken through the interception of the Eighth Route Army yet? ”

"You must know that the Eighth Route Army in front of them has more than 100 people in a company, and they have more than 1,000 people, even one person can drown them all with a mouthful of foam. However, they have been fighting for nearly an hour and have not rushed over! ”

The adjutant hurriedly replied: "General, the reinforcements have broken through the interception of the Eighth Route Army...... It's just that? ”

"It's just something, rush over and go to Hongcun quickly, kill it now, maybe you can intercept some Eighth Route Army troops. You must know that the weapons, ammunition, medicines, and gold they transport will definitely greatly increase their strength after entering their base areas. When the time comes, it will definitely become more and more difficult for us to kill them through encirclement and suppression! ”

After hesitating for a few seconds, the adjutant replied helplessly: "It's late!" ”

"When they arrived at the stronghold, the Eighth Route Army had already retreated, and the entire Hongcun stronghold was carried away, and not a single bullet was left!"

"Also, there are traces of a large number of war horses passing on the road next to the stronghold, and it is not surprising that the Eighth Route Army that the commander asked us to kill has returned to their base area!"

"Our encirclement and interception operation failed, and we also lost the lives of a stronghold and more than 400 soldiers of the Imperial Army!"

Major General Kawaguchi's anger became even stronger, and he stared at the adjutant and scolded: "Get out, it's all a bunch of fuckers, and the reinforcements are also a bunch of stupid pigs, if they are no longer delayed by the Eighth Route Army on the road for an hour, the Hongcun stronghold will probably not be occupied by the Eighth Route Army, and our encirclement and interception operation will not fail!" ”

"Now that the Eighth Route Army has returned to their base area, it will definitely be more difficult to destroy them and destroy these materials than to ascend to the sky!"

"Bage Yalu, Chief of Staff, you are responsible, all the officers involved in this operation will be dismissed and sent to a military court, our brigade does not want such cowards!"

"Hey!" The chief of staff did not dare to say more nonsense.

The new officer took office three times, and the chief of staff knew very well that the brigade commander, Major General Kawaguchi, was so unkind and took one at a time plus all the officers of the brigade. On the one hand, it is to vent his anger, and on the other hand, it is also to carry out a major blood change of the entire brigade and replace it with the subordinates he brought back from the front line.

At six o'clock in the morning, when the sky was slightly bright, Wang Ping decisively ordered the troops to stop, hide in a forest to rest, and continue to advance after dark.

"Regiment commander, this place is less than thirty kilometers away from the base area, and if you march quickly, you will definitely be able to reach it in five hours. And we walked all the paths, and it was difficult for the devils to find out. Why don't we hold on and go back to the base and rest! Hong Ruijun, the commander of the guard company, put forward his own idea.

Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "No, it's too risky to do this!" ”

"You know what is entrained in the weapons and ammunition we transport, it doesn't matter if the weapons and ammunition are there, but there must be no problems with medicine and gold!"

"So, we'd rather stay here for one more night than risk it!"

"The troops rested in place and strengthened their vigilance. The operator, immediately contact the commander of the first battalion, Xiong Changhe, to inquire about the battle situation last night! ”

In less than half an hour, a telegram was delivered to Wang Ping.

Soon, the good mood on Wang Ping's face was gone, and it was replaced by a touch of solemnity.

"It seems that in addition to training marksmanship, tactical movements, and the most basic bayonet, we can't ignore it, and after we go back, we must strengthen the troops' ability to fight in white-knuckle combat!" Wang Ping sighed and analyzed.

At this moment, the headquarters of the Japanese army brigade in Linfen City, which had been lively all night, finally calmed down, and Major General Kawaguchi, who was holding back his anger, was also in a much calmer mood.

He didn't know that the enemy he was going to face next was still in his own zone.

Standing in front of the map and thinking about it for a whole second half of the night, he ordered all the officers above the junior rank of the brigade to go back and forth as soon as dawn to lay out the first big battle after he became the brigade commander and recover Xiangfen County!
