Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 732 Create your own fighter (first update!)

"Sir, what do you mean, regardless of whether the brigade headquarters will send troops to reinforce the stronghold, the stronghold will be captured by the Eighth Route Army?" the adjutant asked back with a look of disbelief.

"Not bad!" The captain affirmed directly.

"This is an attack planned by the Eighth Route Army long ago. Although I don't know how they won the stronghold, I am [-]% sure of this judgment!"

The adjutant was in a hurry. The more than 50 jin of food in the stronghold was obtained at a huge price by the troops. If the Eighth Route Army snatched it back, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Staring at the captain, he asked unwillingly: "Do you want to report your judgment to the brigade headquarters immediately, and ask the brigade headquarters to strengthen the strength and firepower of the reinforcements!"

"It's useless! The head of the brigade doesn't have that many mobile troops. Don't forget, for this armed food grab, the head of the brigade has almost exhausted all the mobile troops in his hand. It is impossible to deploy too many mobile troops." Troop reinforcement base!"

"Then what should we do?" the adjutant asked anxiously.

The team leader hesitated for a moment and replied: "Contact the stronghold directly, I want to know how the Eighth Route Army took down our stronghold!"

"Also, we can't stay in the Eighth Route Army base area any longer. We will set off at dawn tomorrow and withdraw from the Eighth Route Army base area!"

"Of course, all the carts you brought must be filled with grain before you leave!"

"If the stronghold does not hold on tonight, when we go back tomorrow, we must ask the brigade headquarters to contact the aviation force and provide us with air support at any time!"

"Hi!"

The adjutant came back less than two hours after leaving, with a very ugly expression on his face.

"Sir, your judgment is correct. We have lost contact with the stronghold. The last telegram sent by the stronghold shows that the Eighth Route Army used heavy artillery in the battle to attack the stronghold. The explosion power of the shells was stronger than the 105mm caliber howitzer equipped by the imperial army. Even bigger!"

"Impossible!" The captain retorted without hesitation.

"The Eighth Route Army active in Linfen is equipped with artillery, but they are all mortars, infantry artillery, and mountain artillery, and the artillery shells are pitifully small. It is absolutely impossible to equip large-caliber heavy artillery. Even we are not equipped with it. How can they equip it?" Well, they must have made a mistake!"

"But that's what the telegram said, and after we received this telegram, the stronghold lost contact!" the adjutant insisted.

The captain frowned and fell into deep thought, but it didn't take long for him to react.

"It's not a heavy artillery, it's a Feilei artillery made by the Eighth Route Army!"

"Although I have never seen it, I have heard that this kind of gun first appeared in the Jinchaji Military Region of the Eighth Route Army. Explosive packs. However, the accuracy of this kind of homemade artillery is very poor, and the range is very short. More importantly, it consumes a lot of explosives. The Eighth Route Army is too poor, even if it can be mass-produced, it will rarely be used!"

At the headquarters of the Japanese Army Brigade in Linfen City, Major General Matsumoto also thought of the troops who were grabbing food in the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army base.

However, he only thought about the safety of the food grabbing troops, and he didn't think that this was another game of chess with Wang Ping, the head of the new regiment.

After all, for the sake of food, I have sent out four armed food-grabbing troops, and each of them may not report the battle situation to the brigade headquarters in time.

Dozens of people are killed or injured every day by each grain-grabbing unit. If such a small matter has to be reported to the brigade headquarters.Even if Matsumoto worked 24 hours a day, he couldn't handle these trivial matters.

And for the devils, every commander is very concerned about face.

As long as the troops are not under fatal threat, even if they report the battle situation, they should try their best to pick up good reports.

Therefore, the brigade commander Matsumoto didn't know the real situation on the front line, so he couldn't make the most practical judgment.

"General, the third brigade in the direction of Tianxin Town sent an urgent call. They asked the brigade headquarters to contact the Army Air Corps. After dawn, they took away the grain tax from the nearest village and began to retreat. Once the retreating troops meet the Eighth Route Army The main force, please make sure the headquarters contact the aviation unit to provide them with air support!" The chief of staff reported frowning as soon as he rushed to Matsumoto.

"No problem, Chief of Staff, you come to contact the Air Force!" Matsumoto agreed after thinking about it.

"Our armed food raid in Tianxin Town has failed, and the Third Brigade must never be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army again!"

At seven o'clock in the morning, Xiong Changhe, who had been on the road all night, finally arrived.

With one day and one night of sneak attacks, the total strength of the Japanese and puppet troops has dropped from nearly 600 to 500.

This loss of troops is acceptable to the devil captain.However, when the troops are assembled and ready to go to the nearest village to fill up all the remaining carts, and then retreat.

The captain's face suddenly turned ugly.

Yesterday was a high-spirited subordinate, but this morning they all had a pair of dark circles under their eyes.

The devil is better, no matter how tired he is, at least the formation is not in chaos.

The puppet army was far behind, stumbling around, yawning again and again, with their rifles slanted on their backs, and at a glance, it was impossible to see that they were a well-trained army.

The adjutant saw the anger and dissatisfaction on the captain's face, and quickly reminded: "Sir, the Eighth Route Army sneaked in last night, and the troops did not rest, especially the puppet army, who guarded the outermost perimeter of the stronghold, and were directly attacked by the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack troops. !"

The captain could only suppress his inner dissatisfaction, frowned and ordered: "Immediately go to the next village to collect food, and then quickly withdraw from the Eighth Route Army base area. The troops are too tired, and it is too dangerous to rampage in the Eighth Route Army base area like this!"

The remnants of the first battalion and one company, the third company, the fire company, and the troops directly under it have less than 300 people.

After a night of fighting and marching, they were also very tired, and everyone's eyes were staring at dark circles like devils.

However, behind the exhaustion on the surface, there is excitement from the heart on their faces.

In one night, the stronghold was taken, all the food was taken back, and a large number of Japanese and puppet troops were wiped out, and a large amount of weapons and equipment and a battalion's exhausted artillery shells were seized.

Such a result is absolutely unprecedented for a battalion-level force.

Therefore, everyone is full of confidence because of this tough battle, and is full of expectations for the next battle.

"Battalion Commander, how are we going to fight next? Are we going to wipe out the Japanese and puppet troops in the base area!" The third company commander, who had harassed the devils all day and night but failed to achieve much results, asked with anticipation.

"Yes, kill them!" Xiong Changhe said decisively.

"I plan to ambush them here!" Xiong Changhe pointed to a point on the map and decided!
"But we only have less than 300 people, and our troops are just half of the Japanese puppet army. How can we ambush them? Moreover, the devils were too cautious along the way, and they never gave us a chance to ambush them!"

Xiong Changhe replied confidently: "If we just keep guarding like this, there will definitely be no chance, but we can create opportunities ourselves!"
