Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 674 Beacon Fires Everywhere (Second Update!)
There was interception in the front, and chasing soldiers in the back. It was a day-to-day failure and a ground failure. This was the real situation that Shaozuo Kawabe was facing now.

Hearing the shouts of killing around him getting closer and closer, Major Kawabe, who didn't think of any solution, could only grit his teeth and order.

"Break out, spread out, go back as many people as you can!"

"Whoever goes back must immediately report to the headquarters that at least half a regiment of the Eighth Route Army has suddenly appeared in Fengyun Town!"

As soon as this order was issued, the outcome of these Japanese and puppet troops was doomed.

The unobstructed plain terrain around them gave the Eighth Route Army no place to hide in guerrilla warfare, and it also gave the Japanese and puppet troops who broke out no hiding place, completely exposed to the firepower of the Eighth Route Army!

In less than half an hour, the people brought by Major Kawabe were wiped out.

He himself died a very miserable death, because he had a command knife hanging from his waist, and he was taken care of by the Eighth Route Army who hunted him down.

Three light machine guns shot at him at the same time. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen blood holes were punched in his body, and he was killed on the spot.

"Battalion Commander, all the devils have been wiped out, and a major devil was killed. The puppet army captured 110 or six prisoners, and all the others were wiped out!" Instructor He Yun rushed in front of the Rongjun and reported excitedly.

"How many devils are there!" Rong Jun asked, staring at He Yun with his eyes shining.

"Two infantry squads, plus an artillery squad, and a heavy machine gun squad, a total of more than 130!" The instructor answered silently.

"What about the casualties? Are our casualties serious?" Rong Jun followed up and asked.

"It's a bit bigger this time!" The smile on He Yun's face disappeared instantly, and he replied in a heavy tone.

"Especially in the encirclement and annihilation battles outside, many devils fought desperately with us with the idea of ​​holding back even if they died, and even directly detonated grenades and died with our soldiers... The six companies participating in the battle lost a total of 143 people. There are 73 people, and the rest are more or less injured!"

"The casualties are a bit higher, but it's still acceptable. After all, this is the first battle since the formation of the army!" Rong Jun's face also became serious.

But it didn't take long for calm to return.

Seeing that several company commanders were coming, he did not hesitate, and directly analyzed: "There are more than two hundred devils in the stronghold of Fengyun Town, and now we have killed more than 130 people, and there are more than 70 left. If the army is right, there is one company left!"

"I decided to take advantage of the victory and pursue, take down the devil's stronghold in Fengyun Town in one go, and then rest. Finally, according to the order of the regiment commander, wipe out all the Japanese and puppet troops in the entire Fengyun Town, and take Fengyun Town back from the Japanese and puppet troops!"

"Do the soldiers still have physical strength and morale? Can they continue to fight!"

Three battles and three victories, all added up to eliminate nearly two hundred devils.Although such a victory cannot be called a great victory, it is still very useful for boosting morale.

The soldiers of the six companies were almost all oppressed by the devils when they were prisoners of the devils, and many of them almost lost their lives.

Now, these devils who once oppressed him have been wiped out by him, and his casualties are still very small. Every living soldier feels a sense of revenge in his heart.

At this time, not only did everyone not feel tired, but they clamored to continue to go out to kill the devils, to avenge themselves and their comrades who had died unjustly at the hands of the devils.

In the headquarters of the Japanese Army Brigade in Linfen City, since Wang Ping suddenly appeared with the main force of the new regiment, Matsumoto never showed any smile on his rare and heavy face.

All these changes came too fast, which made him feel in a hurry.

"Hasn't the main force returning to Tianxin Town arrived yet?" Matsui, who was staring at the battle sand table, asked anxiously.

"An hour more!" replied the chief of staff hesitantly.

"The aviation reconnaissance report shows that after the Eighth Route Army captured the stronghold of Tianxin Town, it was divided into three parts and attacked along the three roads around Tianxin Town, sweeping up the artillery towers and strongholds we built relying on the roads!"

"In order to avoid unnecessary losses, I have ordered all the garrisons along the line to voluntarily abandon the gun towers, concentrate on the strongholds, and stick to the strongholds. The fortifications there are stronger and should last longer!"

Major General Matsui frowned and ordered: "Where's the air force? They're useless in Linfen North anyway. Let them go to Tianxin Town to cover the infantry and hold the stronghold!"

"As long as they persist until the main force passes by, the Eighth Route Army's offensive will be blocked, and they will even be surrounded by us on the battlefield and wiped out bit by bit."

The chief of staff shook his head and replied: "General, the aviation unit has gone, but it is basically useless?"

"Nani? Matsui immediately asked back.

"Did they also divide their troops? No, they are going to attack our stronghold, and their forces must be concentrated together!"

The chief of staff explained: "The Eighth Route Army is different from what we have encountered before. In the face of our aviation, they not only do not dodge, but counterattack with light and heavy machine gun fire, shooting into the air!"

"For the sake of safety, the air force can only carry out high-altitude strafing and bombing. However, fighter jets are different from bombers, and they do not have any accuracy in high-altitude bombing. In the morning, a bomb hit a stronghold directly controlled by the imperial army, blowing up the gun tower and helping the Eighth Route Army take the Get down to our stronghold!"

"After this incident happened, I have ordered that if the air force has no chance to drop bombs at low altitude, then they should not launch an attack on the Eighth Route Army on the ground, and only undertake the reconnaissance mission!"

Matsui was already very dissatisfied with the aviation soldiers, but he was even more dissatisfied after hearing this, and frowned and cursed.

"Stupid pig, the aviation soldiers are a bunch of idiots. They don't accomplish enough, and they fail. They're badass!"

"I will sue them personally to Your Excellency the Commander!"

"Chief of Staff, since aviation is unreliable, we will rely on ourselves!"

"Send a message to the reinforcements and continue to speed up the march. When you arrive at the battlefield, immediately launch an attack on the Eighth Route Army and surround them. But you must avoid it. Unless you are absolutely sure, the troops must not be easily divided and advance alone!"

"Hi!" When the chief of staff subconsciously prepared to send a telegram, the communications staff rushed in nervously and anxiously.

"General, something has happened!"

"The garrison at the stronghold of Fengyun Town called urgently: They were attacked by at least half a regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and the troops suffered heavy losses. Ask for support?"

"Impossible!" Major General Matsui and the chief of staff retorted at the same time.

The communications staff officer was immediately embarrassed, but still gritted his teeth and insisted: "But that's what they said in the telegram!"

"The Eighth Route Army that attacked them is the Eighth Route Army that has been active in the south of Linfen for more than a month. The captain of their garrison, Chuanbian Shaozuo, has been destroyed, the entire army of the Zhouzhuang garrison has been wiped out, and there is only one small squad of imperial troops left in the stronghold of Fengyun Town. The Eighth Route Army is equipped with mortars and heavy machine guns, and its strength is strong, so it won't last long!"

The two opened their mouths with expressions of disbelief.
