The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

"Regimental Commander, three artillery squads and two infantry squads have not withdrawn, and six mortars have been lost..." Duan Peng reported with his head down, feeling very depressed.

In addition to the casualties caused by aircraft bombing, more than half of the troops participating in the war have been lost, and one-third of the mortars have also been lost.

Huang Yu was in a very bad mood, frowning all the way.

The Japanese and puppet troops used poison gas bombs against the guerrilla brigade, which he had never expected before.

He felt that the guerrilla brigade was full of troops, even if it was only half a regiment. The Japanese dispatched [-] elite soldiers to besiege Maoer Mountain. To their determination to win Maoer Mountain.

There are only a few hundred people left in my hand, and there are one or two hundred people in Zhang Xuan, which adds up to just over three hundred people.

If the devils didn't have poison gas bombs, I was still sure to fight them with guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare, and had to withdraw from the mountains when they ran out of ammunition and food.

Now that they have the gas bombs, the next fight will be another story.

The troops participating in the war were not equipped with gas masks and had no anti-virus experience. If I teach you temporarily, it will definitely be too late to make up for it.

If the Japanese and puppet troops also use a large number of poison gas bombs against us in future battles, the guerrilla brigade will be no match for all the remaining troops.

Seeing Huang Yu frowning and not speaking, Duan Peng kept his mouth open for several times without saying a word, and finally he could only sigh and continue to retreat.

Less than two hours after entering Mao'er Mountain, Zhang Xuan appeared directly in front of him and hurried over with less than [-] fighters from the guerrilla brigade.

Seeing Huang Yu, he proposed a solution that he had been thinking for several hours: "Captain, I heard that the little devil is coming, should we block it head-on... There is a blocking position in front. After the formation of the guerrilla brigade, I will let the soldiers stand in Several bunkers have been built there, and it will definitely be no problem to withstand the mortar attack, or we can rely on the blocking position to teach the Japanese and puppet troops who attacked Maoer Mountain a lesson.”

"As long as another 800 people are killed, their remaining strength will not be sufficient."

"No..." Huang Yu shook his head and said firmly.

"The devils are equipped with gas bombs, and many soldiers I took away died because of the gas bombs."

"The guerrilla brigade has almost never been exposed to gas bombs, and the troops are not equipped with gas masks. Now we are fighting the devils. If hundreds of gas bombs hit us, no matter how many troops we have, we will be wiped out on the ground."

"Gas bomb..." Zhang Xuan's expression changed upon hearing this.

Like Huang Yu, he came from Northwest Shanxi. He had seen the powerful lethality of gas bombs, and the idea of ​​relying on the blocking position to fight the devils was instantly extinguished, and he asked anxiously.

"Then how do we fight next? Gas bombs kill people invisible, and the terrain advantage is useless in front of it. We don't have many troops, and there seems to be no other way out except to abandon Mao'er Mountain."

Huang Yu seemed to have a way to break the situation in his mind, his frowning brows slowly relaxed, he stared at the mountain in front of him and said seriously: "The enemy is strong and we are weak, so retreat when you have to."

"If you can't live with a child, you can't catch a wolf. As long as we keep our troops, we will have a chance to make a comeback."

After finishing speaking, he asked Zhang Xuan: "Chief of Staff, how long will it take for the troops to leave the station?"

"All can be withdrawn within 10 minutes..." Zhang Xuan replied firmly.

"Captain, we were ready to abandon Mao'er Mountain before you came here. The weapons, ammunition and supplies stored in Mao'er Mountain by the troops were either buried or transferred to other places. Only some necessities were left, so we can pack up and leave."

Huang Yu immediately ordered: "Immediately send someone to notify the troops stationed at the station, and ask them to pack supplies and retreat immediately."

"By the way, how much gunpowder can the guerrilla brigade produce now, whether it is captured yellow powder or self-made black powder, how much can you give me?"

"Let's retreat back, but we can't let the little devils easily capture the Maoershan garrison. We must prepare a meeting gift for them there, or we will be too sorry for their efforts along the way."

Huang Yu is a person who does not take advantage easily. The devils used poison gas bombs to severely injure the attacking troops, and Huang Yu would definitely not let it go.

Looking at the captain's reaction, Zhang Xuan knew that he wanted to tear off another piece of fat from the devil before retreating.

Turning his head, he said: "There is not much yellow gunpowder, all of which were seized from the devil's stronghold, a total of more than 500 catties... There is a lot of black gunpowder, and it should add up to more than 1000 catties."

"It's enough..." Huang Yu's face quickly flashed a look of joy, and he began to give orders on the spot.

"The gunpowder will be sent to the garrison within an hour. The special operations team will leave two units to slow down the attack speed of the Japanese and puppet troops. The others will follow me to the garrison to prepare gifts."

"The little devils here haven't taken a dirt plane yet, let them have a good taste tonight."

Apart from Duan Peng who understood Huang Yu's words, even Zhang Xuan showed a puzzled expression.

Although he is from Northwest Shanxi, he was not with Huang Yu at the beginning, and he has never experienced many classic battles that Huang Yu fought.

Duan Peng was different. Since he joined the Eighth Route Army, he followed Huang Yu and experienced almost all the major battles that Huang Yu fought in Northwest Shanxi.

As soon as Huang Yu said the word 'earth plane', his whole face became very expectant, and he quickly accepted the order.

"Captain, I have experience in letting little devils fly on dirt planes...the little devils here must not know what dirt planes are. You entrust this task to me and promise that the surviving little devils will always remember this encounter."

…………

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Major General Ikeda finally saw the empty garrison of the guerrilla brigade.

The scale was smaller than he had imagined, and the planned decisive battle did not happen. Although he was very disappointed, after all, he had completed more than half of his mission after winning the station in front of him, and he didn't pay any price, so he was still a little lucky.

Quickly ordered: "First send a company of the Imperial Association Army to the station to have a look. I feel that the Eighth Route Army seems to be frightened by our gas bombs, so they abandoned the Maoershan station and fled."

Half an hour later, the more than [-] puppet troops who entered the garrison all retreated intact, which meant that the Maoershan Eighth Route Army collapsed without a fight and voluntarily abandoned the garrison.

Shao Zuo Ishii seemed to be stimulated by this result, and felt that the Eighth Route Army had to abandon the garrison because they were afraid of the gas bombs that the troops had just equipped.The whole person seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and asked with anticipation: "General, should we continue to go deep into Mao'er Mountain to hunt down the retreating troops of the Eighth Route Army."

"What are you chasing after?" Major General Ikeda scolded angrily.

"You really think we are invincible when equipped with poison gas bombs. Where did all the caution last night go?"

"I remember last night that you still thought that gas bombs could not change the situation of the battle, and advised me to continue to lead troops to evacuate from the mountains and defy the command of the headquarters. Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"The situation has changed, so the way of thinking will naturally change..." Major Ishii quickly explained.

"I haven't used gas bombs on the Eighth Route Army before. I don't know how powerful the gas bombs are."

"In the morning, I witnessed the destruction of the Eighth Route Army's artillery units after being attacked by poison gas bombs, and now I see the Eighth Route Army's collapse because they were afraid of gas bombs and did not fight... It shows that gas bombs do have the power to change the situation of the battle. I underestimated its power. "

After listening to Major Ishii's analysis, Major General Ikeda was also moved, and at the same time, a thought of continuing to hunt down the Eighth Route Army appeared in his mind.

But he was quickly overwhelmed by reason.

The mopping-up force has been reduced to 800, and any accident may lead to the loss of the army again, or even the destruction of the entire army.

He can't afford to gamble.

Besides, Shao Zuo Ishii's judgment may be true, or it may be that the Eighth Route Army is suspicious of them.

On other battlefields in North China, in order to preserve its vitality, the Eighth Route Army often gave up its base areas and garrisons. It must not feel that the opponent is afraid of you just because there is no one in the garrison in front of you.

Rejected again: "From now on, without my order, no troops can continue to go deep into the mountains to hunt down the Eighth Route Army."

"The Eighth Route Army voluntarily abandoned Mao'er Mountain. Whether it was afraid of the gas bombs we were equipped with, or deliberately dug holes for us to lure us to chase and kill them, the main force of the Eighth Route Army was still intact."

"This is an elite unit that can gather and annihilate an infantry brigade of our army in a short period of time. The terrain deep in the mountains will become more and more complicated. If we pursue rashly, any accident may bring us a devastating blow."

"The sweeping troops are limited in strength and cannot afford any losses. We must put an end to all dangers and bring the remaining troops back to Fangshan safely, otherwise we will become sinners of the entire mixed brigade."

"The task given to us by Your Excellency Commander is to conquer Mao'er Mountain and severely damage the Eighth Route Army."

"Now that we have captured the Eighth Route Army's garrison in Mao'er Mountain, we have achieved the results of our mission to the commander, and we have saved the face of the mixed brigade. There is no need to continue taking risks."

Major Ishii was a little bit unwilling, but he was soon overwhelmed by reason.

The head of the brigade was right. At this moment, any fighter plane was no safer than a sweeping force.

I would rather wipe out a few Eighth Route Army, and bring the only mobile unit in Beiping back to Fangshan safely.

Immediately replied: "Then we will bomb the camp at the Eighth Route Army station tonight, and return to the defense line county tomorrow to end the big raid?"

"Before we leave, we need to blow up the garrison in front of us. Since the Eighth Route Army no longer wants it, we will completely destroy it and stop them from returning to Mao'er Mountain." Major General Ikeda added after thinking for a while.

The head of the brigade lied to himself with these words.

The resident in front of me is all built with thatch. There are almost no buildings that can be taken out, and they can be completely burned with a fire.

If the Eighth Route Army really wanted to return to Mao'er Mountain, they could rebuild their burnt thatched huts in a few days, and it was impossible to stop the Eighth Route Army from returning to Mao'er Mountain.

Although Shao Zuo Ishii thought so in his heart, he didn't say it out loud, he curled his lips and went to execute the order.

The first [-] words have been delivered, please order in full, I hope all readers will support you!
