Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 830 Attacking Xiangfen County (Second update!)
After the order was issued, without waiting for the trainer Liang Cheng to object, he took a submachine gun thrown by the guard and rushed to the battlefield!
A dozen cadres and soldiers, either holding pistols or submachine guns, rushed out afterward.

The trainer, who was just about to object, could only swallow back what he had said, and then ordered to the guards around him.

"Why are you still standing there? Give me a submachine gun and rush over with the battalion commander. Be sure to protect the battalion commander!"

After nearly twenty pistols and submachine guns joined the battle, the one-sided situation on the battlefield finally stabilized.The soldiers with rifles in their hands, with the cooperation of pistols, counterattacked bit by bit, from one soldier against one devil at the beginning, to two soldiers against one devil, and finally, three soldiers against one devil.

The entire hand-to-hand battle lasted for 10 minutes before it stopped.

"Old Liang, are you okay!" Seeing the blood on the instructor's body, Xiong Changhe hurriedly asked.

"I'm fine, but in order to win this stronghold, the price we paid is not ordinary!" Liang Cheng shook his head and said with a painful face.

Among the corpses everywhere, although devils accounted for the majority.However, there are also many Eighth Route Army. Although Xiong Changhe organized a large number of pistolmen and submachine gunners to participate in the battle, on average, the casualties of the first battalion are still very large. If two devils are killed, one soldier must be sacrificed. ,? The loss of the troops is even greater!

Xiong Changhe's already serious face immediately became serious at this time: "The casualties are a bit heavy. However, if we don't fight this battle, we won't know the huge gap between us and the devils!"

"Also, after this hand-to-hand combat, the fighters who survived are well-deserved veterans. As long as qualified recruits are recruited and trained a little, the combat effectiveness of the troops will definitely be stronger than before!"

"So, instructor, don't be too sad. It is impossible to fight without casualties!"

"Besides, we eliminated 400 devils before and after this battle. Even if 200 people were sacrificed, in terms of casualty ratio, we would have made a profit."

Liang Cheng nodded affirmatively: "Old Xiong, you are right. This is indeed a big victory."

"Our troops want to become stronger and stronger, such tough battles must be experienced!"

"I will immediately organize troops to clean up the battlefield. If the third company persists in the front for a minute longer, the casualties may increase. We must hurry up and retreat as soon as possible!"

Major General Kawaguchi, head of the Japanese Army Brigade Headquarters in Linfen City, was very angry.The whole person is like an angry lion, scolding anyone he catches.

That's right, no matter who it is, in this position, facing this situation, they will all be furious.

Before officially taking office, a county seat in the jurisdiction was lost, and more than 1000 imperial troops were lost.

After taking office, the situation in the jurisdiction has not been sorted out, and now something happened again!

Hundreds of the Eighth Route Army passed through their own jurisdiction with a large amount of equipment and ammunition. Not only did they not stop them, but they didn't even know it. This was a slap in the face.

Therefore, after knowing that the Eighth Route Army was going to fight back from Hongcun, Major General Kawaguchi issued strict orders to the Hongcun stronghold defenders and reinforcements that they must defend Hongcun and block the Eighth Route Army.Otherwise, all officers above the second lieutenant will be engaged in military law!
However, even so, the Hongcun stronghold was still captured by the Eighth Route Army.

But at this moment, the reinforcements he sent out were still struggling to advance nearly eight kilometers away from Hongcun.

"Bageya Road, there are more than 400 imperial troops. They must have guns, cannons, cannons, and strong house fortifications. They can't even withstand the attack of a main battalion of the Eighth Route Army. Are they all stationed?" Major General Kawaguchi, who was holding back his anger, couldn't bear it anymore, stared at the chief of staff and cursed.

Seeing the adjutant rushing over from the telecommunications room next to him, he stared at him and asked, "Where are the reinforcements? Haven't the reinforcements broken through the Eighth Route Army's interception?"

"You know, the Eighth Route Army standing in front of them has more than 100 people in one company, and they have more than 1000 people, and they can drown them all even if one person spits. However, they have not rushed over for nearly an hour! "

The adjutant hurriedly replied: "General, the reinforcements have already broken through the Eighth Route Army's interception...just?"

"It's just something. Hurry up to Hongcun if you rush over. If you go over now, you may be able to intercept some Eighth Route Army troops. You know, the weapons, ammunition, medicine, and gold they transport will definitely greatly increase their strength after entering their base area." Strength. At that time, if we want to kill them through encirclement and suppression, it will definitely become more and more difficult!"

After hesitating for a few seconds, the adjutant replied helplessly, "It's late!"

"By the time they arrived at the stronghold, the Eighth Route Army had already retreated, and the entire Hongcun stronghold was emptied, not a single bullet was left behind!"

"Also, there are traces of a large number of war horses passing by on the road next to the stronghold. Not surprisingly, the Eighth Route Army that the commander asked us to kill has returned to their base!"

"Our siege and interception failed, and we also lost a stronghold and the lives of more than 400 imperial soldiers!"

Major General Kawaguchi became even more angry. He stared at the adjutant and cursed: "Get out, you're all a bunch of get out, and the reinforcements are also a bunch of idiots. If they don't get delayed by the Eighth Route Army for an hour on the road, the Hongcun stronghold probably won't Occupied by the Eighth Route Army, our pursuit and interception operations will not fail!"

"Now that the Eighth Route Army has returned to their base area, it must be more difficult than going to heaven to destroy them and destroy these supplies!"

"Bageyalu, Chief of Staff, you are in charge. All officers involved in this operation will be dismissed and sent to military courts. We don't want such cowards in our brigade!"

"Hi!" The chief of staff didn't dare to say a word of nonsense.

The new officer took office three fires, and the chief of staff knew very well that the reason why the brigade commander, Major General Kawaguchi, was so unkind, he took down one at a time plus all the officers of the brigade.On the one hand, it was to vent his anger, and on the other hand, it was to replace the entire brigade with the subordinates he brought back from the front line.

At six o'clock in the morning, when the sky was slightly bright, Wang Ping decisively ordered the troops to stop, hide in a forest to rest, and continue to advance after dark.

"Commander, this place is less than [-] kilometers away from the base area. If we march in a hurry, we can definitely get there in five hours. Moreover, we are walking on small roads, so it is difficult for the devils to find us. Why don't we persevere and return to the base area to rest! "Hong Ruijun, the company commander of the guard, put forward his own ideas.

Wang Ping shook his head and replied, "No, it's too risky to do so!"

"You know what's in the weapons and ammunition we're transporting. Weapons and ammunition don't matter, but there must be no problem with medicine and gold!"

"So, we would rather stay here for one more night than take risks!"

"The troops rest in place and strengthen their vigilance. Radio operator, immediately contact the first battalion commander Xiong Changhe and ask about the battle situation last night!"

In less than half an hour, a telegram was delivered to Wang Ping.

Soon, the good mood on Wang Ping's face disappeared, and was replaced by a dignified expression.

"It seems that in addition to training the troops well in marksmanship and tactical movements, we can't ignore the most basic bayonet fighting. After returning, we must strengthen the troops' hand-to-hand combat capabilities!" Wang Ping analyzed with a long sigh.

At this moment, the headquarters of the Japanese Army Brigade in Linfen City, which had been bustling all night, finally calmed down, and Major General Kawaguchi, who was full of anger, also calmed down a lot.

He didn't know that the enemy he was going to face next was still in his defense zone.

Standing in front of the map and thinking about it for the rest of the night, he ordered all the officers of the brigade above the rank of major to go back and forth at dawn, planning his first big battle since he became the brigade commander, and regained Xiangfen County!
