"This is a good idea." Li Yunlong's eyes lit up, killing two birds with one stone.
While speaking, gunshots rang out from the northwest and southeast directions at the same time.
The sound of gunfire was very sparse, and it was obvious that only the vanguard troops of the devils came, but it was still nearly a quarter of an hour earlier than Wang Ye and Li Yunlong expected.
This is very troublesome.
Because the faster the devils come back, the greater the possibility of disrupting the war.
From the current point of view, not only the devils who came back from various strongholds, but also the two infantry brigades that came back as an organization, would most likely fight against the independent regiment.
……
in the dark wilderness.
Kase Yoshio bent over and walked forward cautiously.
Speaking of it, it was a fate. The first time the Eighth Route Army launched an attack, Kase Jifu escaped by pulling the corpse of his companion on top of him.
When the Eighth Route Army passed by,
Yoshio Kase stood up quietly.
However, Kase Jifu did not return to the barracks to participate in the battle.
In the final analysis, Yoshio Kase is not a courageous person. There is no samurai spirit in him at all. All he wants is to return to Japan alive and see his relatives and wife.
So after leaving the trench, he resolutely chose to escape.
Relying on his strong desire to survive, Yoshio Kase ruled out several dangerous situations.
Among them, the most recent danger was the most thrilling. At that time, he was crawling forward quietly under the cover of night when an Eighth Route Army suddenly drove past him.
The cloth shoes of the Eighth Route Army almost stepped on him.
At this time, as long as a flashlight shines on him, he will have no luck.
Kase Jifu held his breath and didn't dare to move, he could only silently pray to Amaterasu in his heart.
Perhaps it was his prayers that helped. Although the Eighth Route Army had a lot of flashlights on, none of the flashlights shone on him. One after another, the Eighth Route Army passed by him, but they all regarded him as a pile of loess bags. , or maybe it was because there was too much loess on his body, which was no different from a loess bag.
It took several minutes before the Eighth Route Army finally passed.
It wasn't until the last Eighth Route Army passed and walked away that Kase Jifu dared to get up from the ground, and then staggered forward in a random direction.
Yoshio Kase has lost his sense of direction.
Moreover, this is still in the bandit area of Fuliang, surrounded by Chinese people, as long as they are found, they will surely die, so Kase Jifu is not sure whether he can escape.
But no matter what, he will not give up easily.
I don't know how long I walked in the dark, maybe 5 minutes, maybe half an hour.
Bunches of lights suddenly lit up ahead, some with flashlights and more with torches. With the help of the flashlights and fires, you can clearly see the uniform of this army: khaki!Royal uniform!
Jifu Kase's nose suddenly turned sour, feeling lucky to have met his loved ones.
Immediately, Yoshio Kase stepped forward, waved and shouted: "Don't go, don't go!"
"Warning!" The leading officer gave an order, and the devils behind him scattered away.
"Go back, go back quickly!" Yoshio Kase rushed to the officer, panting, "The barracks has fallen, and the commander of the division has died for the country. Don't go to die any more."
Chapter 401
Kase Yoshio was quickly brought to Utada Yoshiro.
Yoshiro Utada was one of the captains of the three rapid infantry strike groups.
The other two are Tanimura Falcon and Mori Hirohiro, but now Mori Hirohiro has returned to Japan.
"Captain!" Yoshio Kase slapped his feet and paused, "Private Yoshio Kase, First Squadron, Second Squadron, Tenth Independent Tank Battalion, reports for duty."
"Kase-kun, thank you for your hard work."
Yoshiro Utada replied, "Just stay and be my orderly."
"Captain." Kase Jifu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "The camp has fallen. Most of the division commander and the imperial soldiers in the camp have died for the country, and only a very small number of people have escaped."
Yoshiro Utada said in a deep voice, "So what do you want to say?"
Jifu Kase paused again: "We have already lost this raid."
"I know that we have already lost this raid." Utada Yoshiro said in a deep voice, "but the latest order I received is to return at all costs."
"Even if you can't turn defeat into victory,"
"Destroy the weapons and ammunition in the camp too."
"We must not let these weapons and ammunition fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army!"
While speaking, the gunshots ahead suddenly became denser.
Among the gunfire, there was also the explosion of shells, and it was quite dense.
Soon a signal soldier ran back to report: "Captain, the Second Infantry Squadron was blocked by the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army's firepower was fierce, and there was artillery support! Squadron Leader Toda asked the headquarters of the brigade to provide artillery support!"
"Order, the infantry squadron will build a position on the spot." Utada Yoshiro quickly issued a combat order.
"The first, third, and fourth squadrons of the infantry circle around from the two wings. After the circle, there is no need to attack the side, and they can go straight to the barracks. If they are blocked by the Eighth Route Army halfway, they will continue to divide and circle."
"In short, there is only one goal, to hold down the Eighth Route Army!"
"We must not allow the Eighth Route Army to transport supplies into the fortress!"
"Hayi!" The four messengers quickly separated and left.
After a pause, Utada Yoshiro continued to order: "The supply squadron and the heavy machine gun squadron will immediately deploy from the front, and cooperate with the second infantry squadron to launch a strong attack on the Eighth Route Army from the front."
This is to contain the Eighth Route Army in front.
Do not allow the Eighth Route Army to split up and block the attack.
……
The first battalion was in charge of blocking the Utada brigade.
Zhang Dabiao was lying on a dirt bag at this time, and soon discovered the devil's detour.
Because the devils did not extinguish the torches and flashlights when they made a detour, it was easy to see the marching ranks that the devils detoured from the two wings.
Regarding this, Zhang Dabiao didn't take it seriously.
Because this is just a routine operation for little devils.
When the little devils are blocked from the frontal attack, they usually send a small group of troops to detour from the two wings.
Although the devils had a lot of troops turning around from the two wings this time, Zhang Dabiao was not afraid at all, because his first battalion now has more than 1000 troops, and with the assistance of artillery, it is more than enough to hold the front line of defense. They turned sideways to form a three-sided encirclement, and they couldn't even think about eating their battalion.
At that moment Zhang Dabiao said: "Pass my order, the second company protects the left wing, the third company protects the right wing, and the guard platoon protects the back. Tell the platoon leaders of each company that our task is to hold back the devils and buy time for the main force of the regiment to transfer supplies."
"Yes!" The three signal soldiers agreed, turned around and ran away.
……
At this time, in the devil barracks.
Sun Bin's third battalion had already replenished its ammunition.
After removing the wounded in the battle, there were about [-] combatants left in the third battalion.
Wang Ye called Sun Bin over again, and told him, "Battalion Commander Sun, the task of your third battalion is to guard the barracks, and don't let a devil break into the barracks! Not even one!"
"Yes!" Sun Bin replied solemnly.
"Promise not to let a devil break into the barracks."
Wang Ye said to Yang Hu and Feng Xianghe again: "Your chariot squadron will fully assist the third battalion."
"Yes!" Yang Hu and Feng Xianghe agreed at the same time, and then checked the tank and armored vehicle again to make sure that the fuel tank had been filled with diesel oil, and the tank gun and vehicle-mounted machine gun had also been reloaded.
Wang Ye called Wei Dayong, Lin Han and Duan Peng to him.
"Monk protects the head of the group, Duan Peng protects the political commissar, and Lin Han protects the deputy head of the punishment, do you hear me?"
Wang Ye had to prepare for the worst. Once the situation turned into a chaotic battle, not only Zhao Gang, but Xing Zhiguo and even Li Yunlong might be in danger.
There can be no accidents for these three.
"Yes!" Wei Dayong and the three nodded heavily.
At this time, Zhao Gang came to the barracks with the puppet prisoners.
More than 3000 prisoners of the puppet army pulled out a three-kilometer-long queue.
From the tunnel entrance on the southern slope of the Fuliang Mountain Fortress, it extends all the way to the baggage camp.
In order to prevent the puppet army from escaping, the soldiers of the guard company inserted candles from the entrance of the tunnel on the south slope of the Fuliangshan Fortress all the way to the supply camp of the Devil Army Camp.
However, the number of soldiers in the guard company is still somewhat small.
From the tunnel entrance on the southern hillside to the devil's baggage camp, it was a full three kilometers, divided among sixty soldiers, and the interval between every two sentries was 50 meters.
This is obviously very dangerous.
There is nothing when there is no hostility.
Once the devil hits, it's over.
At that time, the puppet army will definitely take advantage of the chaos and escape.
Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the security forces along the way.
Wang Ye first mobilized more than 100 soldiers and four [-]-type light machine guns to defend the two sides of the southern passage of the fortress and a total of four adjacent blockhouses.
These four bunkers are undoubtedly a key location.
If the devils snatch it up, they will have a lot of fun.
Then more than 300 soldiers were dispatched from the county brigade to assist the guard company in maintaining order.
There were more than 300 soldiers with live ammunition staring at them. Unless the devils really came to the front, the puppet prisoners of war probably would not dare to think carefully.
Just this way,
The progress of cleaning the battlefield is even slower.
Duan Peng followed Zhao Gang with his MP38 submachine gun.
Wei Dayong and Lin Han also split up to find Li Yunlong and Xing Zhiguo. At this moment, Xing Zhiguo and Shen Quan led the county brigade to clean up the battlefield, while Li Yunlong went to Fuliangshan Fortress to clear the tunnel entrance.
Li Yunlong is most concerned about the remaining twelve 75 field guns.
Just like a gambler, he can only feel at ease if he falls into his own pocket.
"Quick, hurry up!" Zhao Gang urged the puppet army, "Move quickly!"
"Political commissar, let them move the medicine first." Wang Ye said, "The medicine is important."
In the big battle last night, although many devils were wiped out, the casualties of the Independence Regiment itself were not small.
Although the exact number of casualties has not yet been calculated, according to Wang Ye's estimation, the number of casualties is at least over a thousand, and there are more serious injuries.
What these wounded need urgently is medicine.
Especially anesthetics, gauze, and sulfonamide for anti-inflammatory.
"Oh yes, Xiao Wang, I almost forgot if you didn't tell me."
Zhao Gang patted his forehead, and then ordered Zhuang Yan, who was the bodyguard, to say, "Xiao Zhuang, take a few soldiers to search separately, and find the medicine first."
"Yes!" Zhuang Yan hurriedly led the soldiers to rummage in various warehouses.
Wang Ye said to Zhao Gang again: "Political commissar, after the medicines are moved, the diesel oil will be moved first, and the bullets and artillery shells will be moved last. The army rations will be saved until the end. Now we have no shortage of food."
"Okay, I see." Zhao Gang nodded.
While talking, Zhuang Yan ran up from an underground warehouse.
"Found it!" Zhuang Yan exclaimed excitedly, "It's full of medicines!"
"Move quickly!" Zhao Gang said to the puppet army standing behind him, "Our Eighth Route Army has always said one thing, as long as you perform well in this operation, we will definitely abide by the agreement and let you go home."
"But whoever steals and plays tricks, or wants to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble!"
After a pause, Zhao Gang said again: "Then shoot and kill them all!"
