Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 686 The Third Surprise (First Update!)

"Retreat, let's go to the guard company's position and give the devil a third surprise!" Wang Ping ordered decisively.

Xiong Changhe was stunned for a moment, and asked back with a look of disbelief: "Leader, there are more!"

Wang Ping said affirmatively: "The Japanese and puppet troops came here in such a mighty way, we must prepare more surprises for them!"

"Let's go there now. Battalion Commander Yang, stay here, gather your troops, and wait in hiding. The devils have lost so many people here, and they are all devils. They will definitely keep people to clean up the battlefield. See if there is any advantage to take advantage of."

Independent command of operations is the dream of every grassroots commander.

If you want to climb to high places, you must have this ability.

Yang Huping knew this truth very well, and immediately promised, "Leader, please rest assured, and promise to complete the task!"

Wang Ping couldn't be relieved just because of his promise, but he frowned and reminded: "We must control the casualties and achieve the greatest results with the smallest losses. There are still many Japanese and puppet troops on the road, so don't go to the last one." The fat is placed in front of us, and we can't eat it because we don't have troops!"

"Yes! Captain!"

On the road, the captain of the Japanese army blushed, and the anger from his heart gave him the idea of ​​killing people on the spot.

He has always boasted that the imperial army is invincible, at least on the Chinese battlefield, no Chinese army is his opponent.

However, the situation in front of him completely overturned his thoughts all along.

The Eighth Route Army, the poorly equipped Eighth Route Army, not only defeated the Imperial Army tactically, but also beat them so badly that they didn't even have the idea to fight back.

At this time, the deputy captain came over, his face was more serious than when he left.

A bad premonition immediately popped up in the captain's mind, and he asked with a sullen face.

"Casualty statistics come out?"

"Hi!" The vice-captain replied hesitantly.

"Sir, the attacking force lost a total of 86 people, including 36 imperial troops... 51 of them were killed in battle, and 35 people lost their combat effectiveness due to minor or serious injuries!"

"In the ambush battle, all the losses were from the imperial army. There were 298 people in total, 211 of whom were killed in battle, and 87 were lightly or seriously injured and lost their fighting power!"

The captain showed a disbelieving expression on his face: "Baga! How could there be so many casualties!"

The deputy captain hurriedly replied: "If it is pure machine gun fire, with the reaction speed of the troops, even if the enemy is equipped with a lot of heavy machine guns, our loss will not exceed 100 people!"

"But, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning! While the machine guns were firing, they also threw four to five hundred grenades on the road, and many of the grenades exploded in the air. Most of the soldiers who died in battle were killed by the grenades!"

At this time, the captain suddenly realized a fact that made his back shudder!

Last night, under the sneak attack of the Eighth Route Army, the imperial army lost more than 300 people, and there are more than 300 people in front of us.

You know, there are only 1000 people in a full-staffed infantry brigade. Even if the brigade headquarters strengthens itself with a mountain artillery squadron, there are only less than 100 people.

With so many troops, they lost nearly 700 people, or more than half, before they fought face-to-face with the Eighth Route Army.

The squadron leader couldn't imagine how many troops he would have in his hands that could fight after actually encountering the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

At that moment, the captain was afraid.

However, as a commander, he did not express all his inner thoughts.

And even if he was really afraid, he couldn't retreat.

The brigade commander gave himself the task of completely annihilating the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Tianxin Town. If he did not even see the main force of the Eighth Route Army, he would withdraw his troops and lose so many troops.The captain was sure that when he stepped into Linfen City, the military police would find him and send him to a military court.

Whether it is for the honor of the soldiers or for his own future, the captain of this battle must continue to fight.

After taking a deep breath, he ordered: "Can't the wounded continue to follow the troops?"

"Not only will a large number of combat troops be dragged down to take care of them, but also the wounded will follow the troops, which will seriously affect the morale of the troops!"

"Deploy an infantry company from the Imperial Association Army to protect the wounded and retreat directly to Linfen City. I will send a telegram to Linfen City and ask them to send a car to respond!"

"Other troops, move on!"

"Forward troops, in addition to ensuring that there is no Eighth Route Army on the ground, they must also ensure that there are no Eighth Route Army troops hidden underneath!"

"It's not far from the station of the Eighth Route. We'd rather slow down than be raided by them again!"

Soon, the rifles of the more than 300 puppet troops in the vanguard were all equipped with bayonets and spread out to form a large net with a front width of more than 200 meters. As they advanced, they stabbed the ground with bayonets to ensure that there were no tunnels for Tibetans underground.

"Captain, we are still three kilometers away from Xinyi Regiment's base, and we can get there in an hour at most!" The vice-captain's nervous nerves slowly relaxed after not being attacked by the Eighth Route Army for three consecutive hours.

The team leader couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief: "Yoxi, we can finally fight the Eighth Route Army!"

"Order the troops to keep moving at this speed. Don't be in a hurry. Although this speed is a bit slower, as long as there are no casualties in the imperial army, no matter how slow it is, it's worth it!"

"Hi!" The deputy captain agreed with the order.

But he still reminded with a worried face: "However, I'm a little worried! We came here in a mighty way, and the Eight Route Army must know. If they retreat before we arrive, then our trip will be in vain!"

"After all, in the face of a powerful imperial army, it is a common thing for them to retreat before the battle!"

The captain also frowned, but soon he made a decision: "If they run away, then we will chase after them!"

"They have no base, no food supplies, and even equipment and ammunition supplies to fight. They will definitely not be able to fight us in the trenches. Unless we leave Linfen, we will keep chasing them until we wipe them all out!"

At this moment, the captain with a keen sense of smell suddenly saw a spot of light appearing on a slope 800 meters away.

Although it disappeared in a flash, the captain was very sure that it was caused by the sunlight reflected by the telescope or the scope.

"Someone has been watching us!" The captain frowned and shouted.

Seeing the vice-captain directly showing an inexplicable expression because of his own words.The team leader pointed to the slope not far away and explained: "There is the Eighth Route Army behind the high ground, and they are watching us with binoculars!"

"Do you want to order the artillery to kill them!" The deputy captain suggested.

"Fire the cannon right away! Those in the Eighth Route Army who can equip binoculars must be high-ranking officers, and it would be nice to kill their commander!" the captain ordered with excitement on his face.
