Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 460 Scrap iron is also a treasure (third update!)

"Then what are you waiting for? Order the troops to retreat immediately. The nearest imperial army is more than 80 kilometers away from us, so we will retreat to them. Our [-]th mixed brigade has never suffered such a large loss, and the remaining imperial army cannot suffer any more losses." I still need them to reorganize the [-]th Mixed Brigade, and then come back for revenge!" Major General Yoshino was very clear about his current situation and decided very decisively.

Soon, nearly [-] Japanese puppet troops began to retreat back.

In order to ensure the safety of the remaining troops of the [-]th Brigade, although Terauchi Shouyi was very annoyed by their results, he wished to slash the head of the [-]th Brigade, Major General Yoshino.However, three companies of bombers were still dispatched to provide uninterrupted escort above their heads to cover their retreat.

Just when Major General Yoshino was getting more and more confident about the next retreat because of the arrival of the escort bomber, a cavalry lieutenant suddenly rushed forward.

"General, the road ahead has been damaged by Tuba Road. It is very serious. Except for armored vehicles and tanks, carts and cars cannot go!" Cavalry Lieutenant reported anxiously as soon as he stopped in front of Major General Yoshino.

"Nani? Is Tubalu planning to annihilate us here?" the chief of staff subconsciously called out.

But he quickly rejected this idea: "It shouldn't be. Last night, the Tuba Road who attacked us also suffered heavy losses. The corpses left in our camp alone were no less than a thousand. They simply don't have the strength to wipe us out!"

Major General Yoshino frowned and replied: "It is definitely not capable of annihilating them all, but as long as we hold us back!"

"We not only lost all the ammunition last night, but also almost all the supplies. Now each soldier only has one day's dry food in his hands, and we will be hungry after one day. As long as the Tuba Road holds us back, it will take only a few days to run out of food. It can force our army to collapse!"

"We can go around to grab food, and if it doesn't work, we can ask our superiors to drop food for us!" The chief of staff put forward his own idea.

"What about the ammunition? Do you want to airdrop it too! Don't forget, we are not hundreds or thousands of people, but nearly [-] soldiers. Airdropping supplies can at most save an emergency, and it is absolutely impossible to solve the fundamental problem!" Major General Yoshino He frowned and analyzed.

"Hold us during the day, attack us at night, and we are short of guns and ammunition. It won't take long for nearly 8000 of us to be exhausted by the Eighth Route Army who rushed over from all directions!"

"Ba Geya Road, the Eighth Route Army is very calculating, and it caught our Achilles' heel!"

The chief of staff's expression immediately turned serious, and he asked after hesitating for a few seconds.

"General, then we are now a piece of meat on the cutting board of Tuba Road!"

"No!" Major General Yoshino said firmly.

"As long as we speed up our retreat and join the nearest imperial army as soon as possible, all problems will be fine~"

"But Tuba Road has destroyed the road, and cars and carts can't walk, how to speed up!" the chief of staff asked anxiously.

"No, no cars, no carts, artillery, and extra weapons and ammunition. As long as the troops survive, we will be able to fight back in the future. No matter how lost, we can regain it from the hands of the Eighth Route Army! "Major General Yoshino gave a surprising answer.

Then he changed the subject and continued: "However, such good equipment cannot be cheap to the Eighth Route Army. Let the Eighth Route Army equip these weapons and attack us instead!"

"Engineering Squadron, act now and blow up the extra weapons and equipment!"

"Others continue to retreat, hurry to evacuate from here!"

The eyes of the chief of staff were full of reluctance. You must know that among the weapons and equipment behind him, there are mountain artillery, field artillery, and infantry artillery, all of which add up to a total of 34 pieces.So many artillery pieces are also precious to the imperial army, not to mention that those carts and cars carried all kinds of equipment that could equip at least 3000 people.

But what Major General Yoshino said was true. If these equipment were not lost, the remaining 4000 people in the brigade would not be able to withdraw safely.

Compared with the lives of thousands of imperial troops, these equipments are obviously nothing!
In the end, I could only grit my teeth and answer: "Hi! I will arrange it right away!"

"Boom boom boom..." Not long after, a violent explosion sounded among the retreating troops of the Japanese and puppet troops.

Watching all the mountain cannons being blown up into scrap iron, and the truckloads of weapons and ammunition being blown into parts, the head of the guard regiment a few hundred meters away had a gritted expression on his face, wishing he could rush to the road and kill the gunmen who were blowing up weapons. The devil was hacked alive.

"Prodigal son, the devil is indeed a prodigal son, what a good weapon, just like this they blow it into scrap iron, get out!" Captain Zhou cursed, using it to vent his anger and dissatisfaction.

Then he stared at Wang Ping and asked, "Commander Wang, the devil is too ruthless. I thought I could seize some artillery pieces, so I applied to the military region to set up a mountain artillery company. Now it seems that even a good mortar can't be captured!"

The expression on Wang Ping's face did not change because of the devil's bombing of equipment.

Looking at the anxious Commander Zhou in front of him, he replied confidently: "Our mountain cannon company has six mountain cannons! Commander Zhou, as long as the military region agrees, you can go to the arsenal to pick up the six mountain cannons at any time!"

"The arsenal can now produce mountain cannons!" Commander Zhou asked with bright eyes.

"Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "Not yet!Even if it can be produced, the output is very low!However, the arsenal can be repaired, as long as the devils don't blow up those cannons into a pile of scrap iron, I can repair him!Therefore, those weapons blown up by devils on the road are treasures to me! "

After the Japanese army gave up the weapons and equipment that Wang Ping coveted, Wang Ping also let go of the remaining Japanese and puppet troops.

And Wang Ping didn't have the strength to deal with them.The reason why he can persecute the Japanese is annoying, because he has seized the weakness of the Japanese.If you really want to fight the remaining Japanese and puppet troops, even if they lack guns and ammunition, you can't do it yourself.

The disastrous defeat of the Japanese Independent Fourth Mixed Brigade meant that one of Terauchi Shouichi's goals in launching this large-scale siege had failed.

Shocked and angry, Terauchi Shouyi did not give up the siege because of this, he wanted revenge.

Therefore, the Eighth Route Army's anti-encirclement campaign did not end with the retreat of the Japanese Independent Fourth Mixed Brigade.

However, all of this has nothing to do with Wang Ping.

The longer the anti-encirclement campaign lasted and the larger the scale, the more weapons and ammunition the Eighth Route Army needed in the trenches.

Back at the arsenal, before Wang Ping had time to rest, he received a telegram from the military region asking to hurry up and produce ammunition.

"Director, the arsenal is running out of raw materials!" The political commissar of the arsenal in charge of production hurried into Wang Ping's room.

"After the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign began, the arsenal never received any raw materials from the troops. During this period of time, production was carried out in two shifts every day, and no amount of raw materials would be used up! If there were no more raw materials, it would take three days at most. Bullets would have no copper ingots to produce bullets!"

"Other raw materials can't last too long!"
