Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 599 Picking Soft Persimmons (Second Update!)
Yang Huping and Li Wen led people to catch up with the devil's retreating troops and followed them for half a day before they could confirm that the Japanese and puppet troops that went into the mountains to encircle and suppress them really wanted to retreat, and it was not a conspiracy.

"Comrade Li Wen, what's going on here. The devils have the upper hand in everything. As long as they continue to encircle and suppress us, they will definitely win. Why did they retreat suddenly!" Yang Huping asked, frowning.

"It must be the regiment leader! The regiment leader must have beaten the devils outside the mountain and had to withdraw from the mountain to encircle our troops!" Li Wen replied with certainty.

Then he stared at Yang Huping and asked, "Since the devils are really retreating, we definitely can't let them go so easily!"

"Lieutenant Yang, they have been chasing us for so long, and now they are leaving. Why do we have to leave something from them?"

Yang Huping's eyes were also bright, but after thinking about the remaining troops at hand, his eyes gradually became gloomy.

"Comrade Li Wen, don't be impulsive!"

"We only have this few people left. Even if the devil retreats, it will be a giant to us. If we act rashly, I am worried that not only will we not be able to take advantage of it, but the devil will bite us back!"

Li Wen replied very positively: "It is true that the devils cannot move, but the puppet army who followed the devils to sweep away my points can move!"

"Look at the formation of the devils, maybe they are worried that no soldiers will be killed by us on the way back, and let our own people walk in front, and the puppet army is behind!"

"The puppet army is easy to fight, and the devils don't care about their life or death. If we can intercept some of them, we can definitely end the battle quickly. Maybe we can capture some prisoners and turn them into our recruits!"

Seeing that Yang Huping was moved, Li Wen continued to instigate: "This time we have lost so much, we urgently need troops to replenish the army. The recruits cannot all rely on Battalion Commander Zhong, we have to find a way to solve part of it ourselves. After all, Battalion Commander Zhong trained The recruits who come out will be assigned to the three companies, and you cannot let Company Commander Yang occupy it by yourself."

"And right now, there is a good opportunity to get recruits! If you don't grasp it, it will be difficult to meet such an opportunity in the future!"

Yang Huping was finally persuaded, and a firm expression soon appeared on his face: "Then do it, Comrade Li Wen, you are good at this, you take command, and I will listen to you!"

Major General Matsumoto's telegram to the encirclement and suppression troops was very urgent. All troops must withdraw from the mountains before dark.

He was really scared of being beaten in the battle of Fengyun Town, and frightened by the various methods of Xinyituan's mysterious appearance.

If the encirclement and suppression troops can't come out before dark, Major General Matsumoto is sure that he will lose another squadron for no reason tonight, or even more troops.

Under such circumstances, Matsumoto could only put pressure on the encirclement and suppression troops in the mountains to get them out of the mountains as soon as possible.

As long as the encirclement and suppression troops come out of the mountains, Matsumoto is sure that the Xinyi Regiment will have much less scruples about continuing to attack those strongholds outside the city.

It is for this reason that the squadron leader who received the order would not stop, and at dawn he ordered the troops to march out of the mountain and return the same way.

"Da da da..." Suddenly, a burst of machine gun fire sounded behind the devil squadron leader.

"Captain, the Eighth Route Army must be attacking our rear troops. Those in the rear are all the Imperial Association Army, and they must not be able to hold out for long!" The small captain standing beside him immediately analyzed.

After it was over, he proposed: "Should I take someone back to fight the Eighth Route Army for a counterattack. They were elusive and haunted throughout the encirclement and suppression, and they finally showed up. We must not let them go!"

"No!" The squadron leader refused without hesitation.

"We have to get out of the mountain before dark, and if we stop to fight now, we will definitely not be able to complete the mission!"

"Leave a company of the Imperial Association Army to hold them back. The new regiment's remaining troops are running out, and one company should be able to hold them back for at least an hour. And with this hour, we can completely rely on Tubalu Harassment and pursuit, successfully withdraw from the mountain!"

"Hi!" Although the captain was unwilling, he could only obey the order.

Even the squadron leader didn't have the guts to disobey the brigade commander's order and bear the anger of the brigade commander, let alone a small second lieutenant captain.

In front of the general, as a second lieutenant, he wouldn't even look at him more.It is definitely easier to kill yourself than to trample an ant to death.

Soon, the attacked puppet army stopped and organized defense on the spot under the command of the company commander.

"Comrade Li Wen, the devils really brought down the puppet troops. If a company of puppet troops can be captured, at least sixty or seventy people can be mobilized to join our new regiment!" Yang Huping shouted with bright eyes.

What Yang Huping didn't understand was that Li Wen didn't seem satisfied with the result.

"Just one company is enough, the little devils underestimate the appetite of our new regiment!)"

"Commander Yang, given you ten men and two machine guns, are you sure you can kill these puppet troops?"

Yang Huping was stunned for a few seconds before he realized it, and then he affirmed: "No problem, the puppet army is easy to fight, and this is a puppet army without the support of devils, so it is even easier to fight. Find a way to kill the officers among them, and the rest We can only obediently release our prisoners!"

Li Wen immediately made a decision: "Well, you can choose ten people to stay, and I will catch up with the other retreating troops of the devils, and try to keep another company of puppet troops. Today we will pick the persimmons and pinch them. Fight the puppet army!"

Wang Ping, who was lurking in the valley, didn't know that the Japanese and puppet troops in the mountains had already started to retreat, and he didn't know that Matsumoto in Linfen City had prepared a big net waiting for him to drill into it on his own initiative.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, before it was dark, Xiao Yunshan and Xiong Changhe came together to find Wang Ping.

"Head, where are we going to fight tonight?" Xiong Changhe asked anxiously as soon as he saw Wang Ping.

Then he did not forget to analyze: "I can see it. Except for the Japanese and puppet troops who are mopping up our left-behind troops inside the mountain, there are not many devils outside the mountain. And they are all scattered in several strongholds. Now we have The infantry artillery is a good opportunity to destroy them one by one!"

"Regimental Commander, why don't Lao Xiao and I split up our troops tonight, each with an infantry cannon, and attack a stronghold separately!"

"Arrogance!" This is Wang Ping's current judgment on Xiong Changhe.

After glaring at the other party fiercely, a hint of worry appeared on Wang Ping's face immediately after.

Since I joined Xinyi Regiment, the troops have hardly lost a battle.After a long period of time, these people under his command gradually looked down on the devils, thinking that the devils were no match for them, and even felt that a squadron of devils could easily be killed by an infantry company that was not full of strength.

As a rational commander, Wang Ping knew that once this kind of arrogance and underestimation of the enemy spread among the troops, it would definitely be a fatal blow to the Xinyi Regiment.

One bad, underestimating the enemy in one battle is enough to ruin the future of the new regiment.
