Mao Li Guangbo turned his gaze to Gui Chuanqing, and said with a pause: "Chief of Staff, it seems that our previous judgment was wrong. The Eighth Route Army in Dagu Town is far more than one battalion. There should be at least one regiment."
Kiyoshi Kamekawa waved his hands and said, "The regular army is probably only one battalion at most, and the rest should be Tuba Road militia."
"Militiaman?" Maori Guangbo said, "Chief of Staff, it is impossible for the militiamen of the Tuba Road to have such intensive firepower, let alone such a powerful combat force. This must be a regular army."
"No." Kamekawa Kiyoshi said, "For the independent group, it cannot be judged by common sense."
"Okay." Mao Li Guangbo paused and said again, "But whether the people in Dagu Town are the regular army or the Tuba Road militia, our Mao Li brigade will not let them go."
After a pause, he said again: "This time, I decided to invest in the main force of the brigade to launch a general attack."
"General attack?" Gui Chuanqing frowned, and said, "Is it too worrying?"
"No." Mao Li Guangbo said, "This time we will not advance from the main street, but directly from the ruins of houses on both sides of the main street, so the Eighth Route Army will never attack us again."
"Yoxi." Kiyoshi Kamekawa nodded happily.
Chapter 372
At this time, the fighters and militiamen of the independent regiment had returned to the underground shelter.
The weapons, equipment and ammunition seized just now were brought into the underground shelter together. The only thing that made Shen Quan and Sun Bin feel that the fly in the ointment was that the 37mm caliber main guns and 7.7mm caliber heavy machine guns on the tanks were not removed. Undoubtedly a serious loss.
"Damn it, it's a pity."
Shen Quan scolded: "Those are six 37mm caliber rapid-fire guns, and twelve 7.7mm caliber heavy machine guns. If they can be disassembled and brought back, Lao Tzu's county brigade can equip a machine gun squadron, which is great. "
"Just be content with it." Wang Ye scolded with a smile, "Is it not enough to capture so much in one battle?"
"What is this seizure?" Shen Quan said it was nothing, but laughed until his gums were exposed.
"You fucking are Versailles." Wang Ye scolded with a smile, "This is the weaponry of an infantry squadron."
"Versailles?" Shen Quan asked confusedly, "Old Wang, what is Versailles? What do you mean?"
"It's shameless to show off." Wang Ye scolded with a smile, "I'm talking about people like you."
"Hey, old Wang, what do you mean?" Shen Quan said with a smile, "Who do you look down on?"
While speaking, there was a muffled "boom" from the top of the shelter.
Immediately afterwards, there was a continuous "boom" sound.
Immediately afterwards, dust fell down in a rustle.
"Damn it, it's really rich." Sun Bin scolded, "Fucking again."
"This is the routine of little devils." Shen Quan said, "After the infantry rushes to the artillery, and the infantry rushes after the artillery, if there are still surplus troops and artillery shells, the scale of the bombardment and the scale of the infantry that go into the attack will increase. If it is bigger, the attack power will become more and more powerful, until there are no more soldiers to add, and all the shells are fired, and the devils will stop cooking."
Having said this, Shen Quan looked at his watch again and said, "I estimate that this bombardment will last for half an hour, and gas bombs will be used in all likelihood."
Shen Quan's words became a prophecy, the devil's shelling really lasted for half an hour.
Not long after the devil's shelling ended, the guard posts left on the surface came down to report: "The devil is going to attack!"
"General attack!" Shen Quan and Sun Bin's heart shuddered suddenly. This was a bit of a surprise. They really didn't expect the devil to launch a general attack so soon. It was going to be desperate.
"Old Wang, what should we do next?"
Shen Quan and Sun Bin turned their eyes to Wang Ye.
Wang Ye raised his wrist and looked at his watch. The hour hand had already pointed to [-]:[-] pm, and there was still about an hour before dark, but it was almost time to retreat.
At that moment, Wang Ye said: "There is no need to guard anymore."
"What? Don't keep it?" Shen Quan and Sun Bin were stunned.
The dozen or so cadres and militia captains in the shelter also looked at each other in blank dismay.
This was too sudden, and the battle went smoothly. How can we stop fighting if we don’t fight?
Only Wang Ye knew that if he continued to defend, it would be a tough and vicious battle, and the casualties would increase sharply.
"Yes, I won't keep it." Wang Ye shouted, "According to the order of the regiment headquarters, let's transfer the teams separately!"
Although Shen Quan and Sun Bin were a little bit unwilling, they still resolutely carried out the order of the regiment headquarters and transferred the officers and soldiers of the third battalion and the county brigade to the corresponding villages in units of squads.
The seized weapons and ammunition were also divided equally among the squads.
In the end, only Shen Quan and a dozen militiamen remained.
Shen Quan wanted to say something to Wang Ye, but he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
"Old Shen, I know what's going on in your dog's mind." Wang Ye said angrily, "Then I can tell you responsibly, I will definitely die behind you."
"Fuck!" Shen Quan cursed angrily.
But the desolation just now was gone.
Shen Quan said again: "But it's true, the old saying goes that good people don't live long, and evils last for thousands of years. It's not uncommon for a evil like you to live past a hundred years."
Wang Ye smiled and said, "Then you are not a good bird."
Shen Quan laughed and said: "If you say that, the little devil is actually a good person."
"That's not true." Wang Ye said with a smile, "What evil intentions can devils have? They just want to give us some supplies, and our independent group depends entirely on them to live."
Shen Quan laughed loudly, and snapped to attention again.
Wang Ye also stood at attention when he was upright.
"Old Wang, take care!"
"Take care of yourself!"
……
Maori Guangbo originally thought that there would be a fierce battle in Dagu Town.
However, the development of the battle situation was completely beyond his expectation.
The three infantry squadrons that went into the attack did not take the streets this time, but climbed directly from the top of the ruins of the houses with the help of ladders, which could effectively prevent the defenders from using the ruins to ambush.
This time, Guangbo Maoli did not stay at the forward observation post, but went directly outside the town.
So without binoculars, the naked eye can see groups of infantry stepping on ladders, searching, and entering the depths of the town from the top of the ruins of the houses.
However, the gunshots never sounded.
In less than an hour, a messenger ran to him quickly, stood at attention and saluted and reported, "Report, all the ruins of Dagu Town have been cleared, and no Chinese soldiers have been found!"
"Huh?" Mao Li Guangbo said in a deep voice, "Continue to search in depth!"
The order was passed on, and the Maori Brigade soon started the second search.
This time, the Eighth Route Army was still not found, but many hidden tunnel entrances were found.
Guangbo Maoli came to one of the tunnel entrances, and saw that the tunnel entrance was hidden in a well, about half a meter above the water surface, and a horizontal fork hole was dug.
From the pulley for fetching water, you can go down to the entrance of the tunnel.
Maori Guangbo immediately ordered a detachment to go down to the tunnel to carry out reconnaissance.
After half an hour, the team returned to the ground through another tunnel exit.
"Captain!" the sergeant who led the team reported to Hirohiro Mori, "The underground tunnels are like a maze, extending in all directions and having several floors! We were worried that we would get lost in it, so we didn't dare to go deeper."
"Have you found the Eighth Route Army?" Maori Guangbo was most concerned about this question.
"Not at all." Sergeant Cao shook his head and said, "Not even a single Eighth Route Army."
"What about the people in China?" Maori Guangbo asked again.
"No." Sergeant Cao shook his head again, "There is no one in the tunnel."
"No one there? What's going on?" Mao Li Guangbo was stunned when he heard that.
Sergeant Cao said again: "Maybe hiding in deeper or farther tunnels. After all, we only searched a small part, and there are still a lot of tunnels that have not been searched."
"Stop searching."
Maori Guangbo said: "Get ready to explode."
With an order, the engineering squadron brought in the explosives prepared in advance.
After a little survey of the tunnel, the engineers quickly selected dozens of explosive points, and then began to plant explosives.
Then, the Maoli Brigade quickly withdrew from Dagu Town, and about 10 minutes later, a thunderous roar suddenly sounded from the ground, and then the ground trembled violently. When Maoli Guangbo looked intently again, he saw Dagu The area where the town is located has sunk completely, forming an incomparably huge pit.
This time, the entire Dagu Town was completely razed to the ground.
The underground tunnel system in Dagu Town is also finished.
If there was anyone, they must have been buried alive.
……
That night, Gui Chuanqing returned to Ping'an County.
"Abandoned?" Miyano Michiichi said in astonishment, "After a little resistance, the independent group directly gave up the three defensive supports of Dagu Town, Qingyun Town and Lijia Town?"
"It's unbelievable, but it's true."
Kikawa Kiyoshi said: "The Independence Regiment did abandon these three towns."
After a pause, he continued: "And the huge network of tunnels hidden underground in these three towns has also been destroyed by our engineers with high explosives."
Miyano Michiichi frowned and said, "Where are the troublemakers from China in the three towns?"
"It's probably transferred." Kikawa Qing said, "It may also be buried alive in the depths of the tunnel, who knows, anyway, it's just a group of troublemakers who are destined to be dealt with, let them live or die."
"This is really strange." Miyano Michiichi frowned, "Is there any problem?"
"Probably not." Guichuan Qingdao, "I also thought about it on the way back. According to my estimation, the previous street battles in the three surrounding villages and Dagu Town, Qingyun Town, and Lijia Town were superficial. Although the imperial army suffered a loss, I think the price paid by the independent regiment must not be small."
"Hmm." Miyano Michiichi said thoughtfully.
"Kamekawa-kun, do you mean that the independent regiment is no longer able to defend?"
"Yes, at least I think so." Kamekawa Kiyoshi said.
"Especially Dagu Town, Qingyun Town, and Lijia Town were attacked by sulfur bombs and poison gas bombs. The Eighth Route Army must have suffered heavy casualties if they were caught off guard. Moreover, it would be even more detrimental to the Independence Regiment after the houses were burned, so it is undoubtedly wise to abandon them directly. I believe that Li Yunlong and Wang Ye also think so."
"Suoga." Miyano Dao said, "So, the only problem left is the Fuliangshan Fortress."
"Yes." Kamekawa Kiyoshi said, "If I'm not mistaken, the next battle will go smoothly, and the mobile troops of our Second Guards Division will advance to Fuliang Mountain without hindrance."
……
Kamekawa Kiyoshi's words became a prophecy.
In the next month or so, the situation can be said to be overwhelming.
In a blink of an eye, the time has come to mid-September of [-].
Kiyoshi Kamekawa rushed into the war room and reported to Miyano Michiichi: "Division Commander, the bunkers along the fifth blockade ditch have all been built, and the three mobile strike brigades have all advanced to the periphery of Fuliang Mountain. , the folks are stepping up to dig the last blockade ditch and the last deep trenches around the last dozen villages."
"Yo Xi." Miyano Michiichi nodded happily, and continued, "It took two months to mop up the Fuliang bandit area and the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and finally entered the decisive stage."
"Yes." Kamekawa Kiyoya said excitedly.
"If there is no accident, most of the troops of the Independence Regiment have been trapped to death in Fuliang Mountain, and the rest of them have also been divided and surrounded in various villages. The destruction of the entire army is a matter of history."
"Don't be careless." Miyano Michiichi said.
"The Chinese people are far more tenacious than we imagined."
"That's true." Kamekawa Qingshen said in agreement, "We originally thought that after the construction of the deep moat around the village, the trapped Chinese thugs would collapse within half a month, but it has already been two months now. They are still stubbornly resisting, and the night-time harassment of the Imperial Army and the Imperial Association Army has become more and more intensified."
"But after all, it's just a grasshopper after autumn, and it won't be jumping for a few days."
Miyano Michiichi said in a deep voice: "Order the mobile brigades not to rush to attack. It will not be too late to attack the Fuliangshan Fortress after the sixth blockade ditch is completed."
"Hay!"
……
Yunqi Town, Sanduotang.
"Brigade seat." Fang Ligong quickly walked into the war room and reported to Chu Yunfei, "Our insiders just got the news that the mobile troops of the Second Division of the Japanese Guards have advanced to the periphery of the Fuliangshan Fortress. "
With his hands behind his back, Chu Yunfei sighed and said, "So, the independent regiment has been completely trapped in the Fuliang Mountain Fortress?"
"Yes." Fang Ligong nodded and said again, "Not only that, the entire Fuliang mountainous area was also divided into four concentric circles by the Japanese army with five blockade ditches, and nearly two hundred villages were also locked with deep moats around the village. Now, not only is the independent group unable to get out, but 20 people in the entire Fuliang mountain area are also trapped in the tunnels of various villages and cannot get out."
Chu Yunfei said with a stern face: "So, the little devils are going to kill them all."
