After receiving the urgent information from the special service department transferred from the bureau headquarters, the headquarters of the Loyal National Salvation Army suddenly jumped for a while, and the commander-in-chief, Nguyen Thanh Yuan, hurriedly issued an order to seize the time to dispatch troops to reinforce Baima Town.

Who would have thought that the Japanese army's nose would be so smart, and this time it was still a fast maneuver in a car, and it was too much to look up to the guerrillas of our loyal and righteous salvation army, right?

"Commander-in-chief, since the Japanese army dispatched two infantry brigades to carry out a surprise attack, although we have a large number of people, but the combat effectiveness gap is very large, the best way is to quickly let the troops evacuate, once the Japanese army bites to the death, it will be difficult to withdraw again, which will cause us a lot of losses!" The chief of staff, Colonel Shang Wang, hurriedly said.

"No, the Japanese army is marching by vehicle this time, if we retreat to the station in a hurry at this time, our troops will be easily divided and surrounded by the Japanese army, and the situation will be more passive at that time, and the two legs of the brothers will not be able to outrun the four wheels of the Japanese car."

"Boss Dai contacted the guerrilla headquarters, two American-equipped assault brigades, have taken a car to Baima Town to urgently go to support, and estimate the time of arrival with the Japanese army, that is, the matter of the front and rear feet, so the best way at present is to defend in situ, use the terrain to drag the Japanese army, and wait for the arrival of support forces before withdrawing." Ruan Qingyuan shook his head and said.

He also knew that there was a very low risk in a disorderly retreat, and that it was very easy for the Japanese army to take advantage of its own advantages and scatter these more than 4,000 people at once.

The Loyal National Salvation Army has a family base of more than 20,000 people, including many non-combatants, and those who can really fight on the front line are 14,500 people.

"Look at the people, everyone is a guerrilla force of the Shancheng government, and the two brigades of the guerrilla headquarters are not only equipped with weapons aided by the United States, but also move quickly in ten wheels of trucks aided by the United States, but we can only rely on two legs." Shang Wang's face was envious.

"This is also something we can't envy, Director Han has a good relationship with the Americans, and before the approval of the two governments, he has provided more than 2,000 people with weapons and ammunition, and has provided assistance to hundreds of cars and a large number of military supplies.

"The Americans have a lot of money, not only weapons and ammunition, but everything, the last time I visited the guerrilla headquarters, they were smoking camel cigarettes and chewing gum, and from time to time they also ate two pieces of chocolate, American-made luncheon meat, a warehouse full, and when they left, they gave us more than a dozen boxes, you also tasted it, it tasted quite good, how can it be like us, thank God for being able to eat enough." Ruan Qingyuan said with a wry smile.

At this time, the American military ration luncheon meat has not yet begun to reduce the meat content in the formula, and the starch is relatively less in the future, and the taste is indeed good, but it will soon be forced to change the formula because of the large demand.

The Japanese army arrived in the south of Baima Town, in a hillside area that was not too undulating, was blocked by the Loyal Salvation Army, and then used the infantry guns and curved infantry guns carried by the vehicle to launch a fierce artillery bombardment on the position of the Loyal Salvation Army, the two sides fought fiercely for more than two hours, and the Loyal Salvation Army suffered heavy losses, at this time, two assault groups arrived.

They did not take over the Loyal National Salvation Army, but demanded that the Loyal National Salvation Army continue to hold out, and the two brigades went around from the flanks to form a pocket, and one squadron went to the town of White Horse, destroying the enemy's cars, and when the mortars were set up, they suddenly launched a dense artillery bombardment.

Although the Japanese army failed to occupy the position of the Loyal National Salvation Army, it was only a matter of time, and the number of mortars of the Loyal National Salvation Army was pitiful, and it did not pose much of a threat, and the Japanese army was paralyzed.

The continuous shelling of dozens of mortars, which was a curved fire with a maximum rate of fire of 30 rounds, shook the mountains in an instant, and the Japanese offensive formation was blown to the ground, and it was suddenly blinded.

The captain of the brigade who led the team quickly realized that the enemy was coming for reinforcements, and judging from the firepower, it must be an American-style equipment guerrilla who was hated to gnash his teeth.

Even worse is still to come, Browning's large-caliber machine guns, spitting out tongues of fire, 12.7 mm bullets, flying within three miles, dozens of machine guns, and a large area of fire net swept away.

The Japanese army began to retreat, and the arrogance just now, when it encountered the troops equipped with American equipment, the ice disintegrated in an instant, and this battle could not be fought! Seeing that it was about to be surrounded, at the critical time, the wounded and disabled squadron was left behind, and it withstood the strong attack of the assault brigade to the death, so that the whole army was annihilated, but it won precious time for the evacuation of the large army.

Whitehorse Town is also experiencing a melee, a squadron of more than 200 commandos, and a squadron guarding the car had a fierce battle, damaged dozens of cars, this thing hit the tire and was scrapped, the retreating remnants of the defeated general just arrived, rescued the car team in time, and the remaining cars and personnel, fled from Whitehorse Town in a hurry.

In this battle, the two infantry battalions of the Japanese army suffered more than 1,100 casualties, lost more than 50 vehicles, abandoned four Type 92 infantry guns, six curved infantry guns, more than 30 light machine guns, more than 20 heavy machine guns, and more than 1,000 rifles, all of which were captured by the assault brigade.

Subsequently, 35 of them were lightly damaged, and they sent a telegram to the headquarters in time, sending tires and tools to repair them, and the remaining 20 or so cars were dismantled and used as spare parts, and then the gasoline in the fuel tank was pumped out and burned into an iron frame.

"They didn't leave us anything, this is too bullying, we have dragged the Japanese army and bought time for their encirclement, how can we give us a little loot?" The captain of the Songhu Action Corps said indignantly.

"No way, who let us beg for help? In just two minutes of shelling, at least a few hundred shells were fired, and if we didn't take something as compensation, people felt awkward, our 4,200-strong troops, facing the Japanese army of 2,000 people, had to ask for support, and our congenital confidence was insufficient! The captain of the Taihu Lake team said with a wry smile.

The two Japanese squadrons in the Guanyin Mountain area that encircled and suppressed the "underground party guerrillas" were surrounded by two squadrons of American-style equipment and a guerrilla brigade of the guerrilla headquarters.

By mid-November, the sweep operation of the Japanese 13th Army Headquarters was over, and the loss was incomplete, with three infantry brigades and two squadrons completely annihilated, plus other losses, and the Japanese casualties this time were more than 4,000.

Although a lot of food and materials were looted, but as a result, Shimomura was angry and slapped the table at the headquarters and scolded the advisory department of the special high school, his first large-scale military operation after taking office, he originally wanted to perform well, but it ended in failure, and his face was swollen.

After the battle was over, it was time to settle the score, and Shimomura ordered a phone call to call Miyamoto Kanemi from Jinling back to Shanghai, and he needed an explanation.
