Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 243 The Boss' Worries: How's the Battle in Hulu Gorge?

The mobility of the infantry was far inferior to that of the cavalry. Cheng Xiazi and Xu Shengji commanded the troops to pursue for a while, then gave up.

Then, they left some troops to sweep the battlefield, and led the main force to continue towards Jiangjunling.

……

Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

It was a rather risky decision to dispatch three main regiments to assist Li Yunlong and Ding Wei in annihilating the Japanese 3th Brigade.

Rao is full of worries with the determination of the boss.

Sometimes he would sit down and drink a cup of tea, and sometimes he would stand up and pace back and forth. Every few minutes, he would ask the communications staff if there was any battle report from the front line.

"How is it? Is there any new report from the independent group?"

Communications staff officer: "Report to the boss, not yet, but there is news from the independent regiment that Wang Chengzhu, Battalion Commander Wang, has left the dried chili from the cooking team of the independent regiment."

The major general of the Jinsui Army next to him asked suspiciously: "Boss, what does Battalion Commander Wang want to dry chili for? Does he want to continue to attack after lunch?

However, there is no need to spend so much time looking for peppers, right?
At this very moment, just eat some dry food. "

The boss obviously thinks differently, he is from Hunan, he likes to eat chili very much, and he also knows the habits of chili.

After thinking about it carefully for a while, he thought of Wang Chengzhu's plan, and couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha! Director Zhang, you are wrong. This kid Wang Chengzhu asked the independent group for chili, not for cooking, but for hiding in the canyon. The little devil in the middle tastes the taste of chili.

If nothing else, the devils of the 9th Brigade suffered a lot. "

Hearing the boss's explanation, the major general of the Jinsui Army also reacted: "So it is! It seems that I underestimated this Battalion Commander Wang, he is really a genius!"

"Hahaha!"

The boss smiled and said nothing, Battalion Commander Wang is the treasure of the Eighth Route Army, he must not be willing to disclose too much information about Wang Chengzhu to the Jinsui Army.

After a while, the communication staff put down the phone, hurried to the boss, and reported to him: "Boss, there is news from the independent group!"

The boss hurriedly asked, "What news?"

Communications Staff Officer: "The Yamamoto Special Forces of the Japanese Army seemed to want to take a shortcut to go to Hulu Gorge, but they encountered the Independence Regiment on the way."

The boss's face changed slightly: "How is the situation of the independent group?"

Communications staff officer: "The independent regiment suffered dozens of casualties, but under the leadership of the deputy head Kong Jie, they also killed more than a dozen devil agents."

The boss nodded: "It's okay, Kong Jie finally didn't disappoint me this time. By the way, is there any other news?"

Communications staff officer: "Not yet."

Boss: "Contact the Independent Regiment at any time to inquire about the combat situation there. In addition, tell Li Yunlong and Ding Wei to preserve their strength and eliminate as many devils as they can. There is no need to worry about whether they can destroy the Japanese 9th Brigade.

If the results of the battle cannot make up for the loss, just accept it as soon as it is good and withdraw the troops decisively! "

"Yes!"

The communications staff officer suddenly agreed, then turned around and walked towards the telephone.

……

The screen returns to General Ridge.

Kuroshima Morita led his troops to run all the way. After running out for 10 minutes, he met Kazuki Yamamoto who came for reinforcements, and was stopped immediately.

Kazuki Yamamoto found Kuroshima Morita and asked, "Kuroshima-kun, why did you withdraw?"

Kuroshima Morita: "Yamamoto-kun, reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army of China have arrived. There are at least several thousand of them, and we encountered an encounter on the way.

Although I led my troops to wipe out hundreds of the Eighth Route Army, but because I didn't have heavy weapons in my hands, I was still outnumbered and had to turn in. "

"Baga! I didn't expect the reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army to come so quickly and in so many numbers!"

Kazuki Yamamoto did not doubt Kuroshima Morita's words. After all, they could reinforce the 9th Brigade, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army would inevitably come to reinforce them.

He just didn't expect that reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army would arrive so quickly.

Kuroshima Morita asked again: "Yamamoto-kun, what should we do now? Should we continue to reinforce the 9th Brigade, or should we just transfer in?"

Kazuki Yamamoto calmed down and thought for a moment, then said: "Turn in! Right now we don't know the situation of the 9th Brigade, we don't know the terrain around here, let alone how many reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army have come.

If the Eighth Route Army relied on the favorable terrain and set up ambushes layer by layer to block the attack, even if all our troops were wiped out, we might not be able to reach Hulu Gorge.

Unless Commander Shinozuka can send troops to provide us with tactical guidance, not only will we not be able to rescue the 9th Brigade, but we may also involve ourselves in it, which is not worth the loss.

But even if Commander Shinozuka sent troops to provide us with tactical guidance, it would be too late in time.

Right now, we can only hope that General Watanabe can break through by himself. "

Kuroshima Morita: "Yamamoto-kun's analysis makes sense."

Immediately, Kazuki Yamamoto, Morita Kuroshima and Koizumi Kasahara gave up Kazuo Watanabe and led the troops to leave directly.

Relying on favorable terrain, Wang Chengzhu's independent battalion had no problem blocking the Japanese reinforcements, but if the Japanese reinforcements wanted to leave, he had no choice but to watch them leave.

Not long after, Cheng Xiazi and Xu Shengji led their troops to Jiangjunling. They saw the corpses of devils all over the battlefield, but they couldn't see the living devils. They couldn't help but asked Wang Chengzhu suspiciously: "Battlemaster Wang, where are the little devils? Was it wiped out by your independent battalion?"

Wang Chengzhu smiled and said: "How can our independent battalion have such strength, to be able to persist until the two leaders came here is already doing our best.

Presumably, this group of little devils were afraid of the tiger's power of the two, so they withdrew directly. "

"By the way, on the way to Jiangjunling, you two encountered a devil cavalry unit."

Cheng Xiazi: "Well, we did encounter a devil cavalry unit on the way here."

Wang Chengzhu: "It seems that the two of you have benefited a lot, right? These cavalry were all driven by my independent battalion.

It can be said that if it weren't for my independent camp, you wouldn't be able to pick up such a big bargain.

I want half of the captured military horses, isn't that too much? "

Hearing this, Cheng Xiazi's expression suddenly became unnatural, and he said: "We have encountered this group of little devils, but they are as cunning as a group of loaches, and they don't tangle with us at all.

In total, we killed dozens of devil cavalrymen, seized dozens of military horses, and dozens of sets of cavalry equipment.

More than half of the army horses were wounded and killed.

Right, old Xu? "

As he spoke, Cheng Xiazi kept winking at Xu Shengji who was on the side.

Xu Shengji came to his senses: "Hey...hey...yes, we have eliminated dozens of devil cavalry in total.

Now that Battalion Commander Wang has spoken, we will naturally give you a share. After all, your independent battalion is also responsible for this.

It's just that if you want half of it, it's not appropriate. "

Cheng Xiazi followed suit and said, "Yes, yes, the points are divided equally among the three of us."
