Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 98 The arrogant soldier will be defeated
The attack went so smoothly, and by the time Zeng Quan finally arrived at the battlefield with his follow-up troops, there was not a single living devil in the Japanese puppet camp next to the Xiaguan stronghold.

Dozens of puppet soldiers squatted together, guarded by a dozen soldiers.Then there were more than a dozen soldiers cleaning the battlefield, gathering together all kinds of weapons and ammunition scattered in the garrison.

As soon as Zeng Quan rushed into the battlefield, a wounded platoon leader rushed over with excitement.

"Where's the battalion commander? Why didn't you see the battalion commander?" Before the other party called for a report, Zeng Quan asked anxiously.

"The battalion commander took our company commander to chase down the devils, and dozens of devils escaped, and the radio station was also taken away. The battalion commander said that they must be eliminated and the radio station seized!" The platoon leader quickly replied.

"He is the battalion commander, and he is the backbone of the entire independent battalion. How can he go after the devils? What is your company commander Zhang Qing doing? Why don't you stop the battalion commander. If anything happens to the battalion commander, I will kill him!" Zeng Quan was both worried and dissatisfied and cursed.

Then he ordered to the troops behind him: "The second company will follow me to reinforce the battalion commander, and the third company and one row will stay to clean the battlefield!"

Zeng Quan led his troops along the official road for an hour and a half, but still did not see Wang Ping.

At this moment, an exclamation suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Deputy Battalion Commander, there is a fire ahead!"

"It's either a devil or the Battalion Commander who are heading towards Wangxiaguan Village at such a late hour!" Zeng Quan frowned and analyzed with worry on his face.

Then he ordered Zhang Yunshan, the commander of the second company: "Take the troops and hide immediately, and the guard squad will go to the front to investigate and confirm whether they are devils or battalion commanders!"

Soon, the guard squad in front of the investigation rushed over, and then reported excitedly: "The deputy battalion commander, it's the battalion commander and the others. They won the battle again and brought back a lot of prisoners!"

"Let's go to meet the battalion commander!" Zeng Quan led the troops forward without saying a word.

After finally returning to Xiaguan Village, the battlefield has been cleaned up almost.The weapons and ammunition scattered in the garrison of the Japanese and puppet troops were piled up in the middle of the garrison like a hill.Especially the two intact mortars, Wang Ping watched them for a full minute before stopping.

At this time, Zeng Quan had collected all the seized data, and rushed to Wang Ping's side with a look of excitement.

"Battalion Commander, we've made a fortune. We've made a fortune. With the Japanese equipment we seized, we can easily form an infantry company."

"According to statistics, we seized a total of two infantry guns and 104 unopened shells. By collecting the parts that were blown up on the battlefield, we successfully armed two mortars with 258 shells and a heavy machine gun that can be used. There are four handles, three grenade launchers, and 128 three-eight covers. There are a lot of heavy machine gun bullets, and the Devils are configured according to three heavy machine guns, and there are 4 more rounds. Rifle ammunition is configured according to a reinforced squadron Yes, a total of more than [-] and nearly [-] rounds of ammunition."

"In addition, we also captured 243 puppet soldiers and seized 218 domestically-made rifles used by the puppet soldiers, three of which were made in the Czech Republic, with [-] rounds of ammunition."

"As for other equipment and ammunition, they were all blown up during the battle, and only parts can be used!"

"It's ready!" Wang Ping replied very satisfied.

After looking at the watch on his wrist, he said, "It's less than two hours before dawn, and we must withdraw to the station before dawn to prevent the little devil from retaliating. Old Zeng, go and make arrangements!"

As the veritable No. [-] figure in the Independent Battalion, Zeng Quan still knew the situation of the Japanese army in Laiyuan City very well.

As soon as he heard Wang Ping's order, he couldn't help asking: "Battle Commander, the devils in Laiyuan City dare to come out. There were not many troops in the first place. Now that we have eaten a reinforced squadron, there must be even fewer. He is now coming out to take revenge on us." , we are not afraid that we are eating up his squadron!"

"Our independent battalion is different now. Not only do we have crooked handles, heavy machine guns, but also grenades and mortars, and even two infantry guns. As long as the devils dare to come, they will definitely be killed!"

Seeing the confident smile on Zeng Quan's face, Wang Ping immediately thought of a sentence, arrogant soldiers must be defeated!
Of course, Zeng Quan was not to blame for this, since the independent battalion had never lost a battle since entering Laiyuan.Now relying on the strength of a battalion to eat up one devil, one squadron, and one battalion of the puppet army, it can be said that the results of the battle are brilliant, and everyone will be full of confidence.

Wang Ping is very worried, because of the upcoming changes in Laiyuan, he has not announced them yet.Facing the garrison brigade that the Japanese army had begun to form, the independent battalion was in front of them, and they had no capital for arrogance.

If this kind of arrogance continues to spread in the army, maybe the next time the independent battalion fights, it will hit a wall, and the whole army will be directly defeated by the Japanese army.

"It seems that it's time to announce the upcoming changes in Laiyuan. Otherwise, these arrogant soldiers will definitely suffer big losses on the battlefield!" Wang Ping thought to himself.

Then he frowned and ordered to Zeng Quan with a serious face: "Follow the order, the whole battalion must evacuate here in an hour!"

"Don't forget, the little devils have air support that we don't have. Even if their infantry dare not come out, they can send planes over. At that time, just two random bombs will be able to reimburse a company of our troops!"

Zeng Quan had dealt with Devil planes before. He had seen the power of Japanese planes during the ambush at Pingxingguan.

When a bomb comes down, it's useless whether you hide in a trench or lie on the ground.As Wang Ping said just now, when an aerial bomb falls, it will reimburse a platoon of the Eighth Route Army casually, and even reimburse half of the company.

Thinking of this, Zeng Quan's face became heavy.Then he replied with a trace of fear: "Battalion Commander, I'll make arrangements right away to withdraw from the Japanese and puppet army's garrison within an hour!"

Major General Ono has been guarding the headquarters of the Japanese Army in Laiyuan City for almost five hours.Seeing that it was about to dawn outside, the communications office hadn't contacted Major Hamasaki yet.

Judging from the time, Major Hamasaki should have arrived at the nearest stronghold to Xiaguan Village under the support of the troops.

So far, however, no news has come back, and even radio contact has been lost.Ono, who had suffered a lot at the hands of the Eighth Route Army, felt a little bit of uneasiness at this time, and had a very bad premonition.

"Dinglingling..." At this moment, the piercing ringing of the phone suddenly interrupted the silent and oppressive atmosphere of the headquarters.

A staff officer next to him hurriedly picked up the phone and began to answer the call. Soon, Ono saw bead-sized beads of sweat emerging from the staff officer's forehead.

The uneasiness in Ono's heart became more and more intense. Before he put down the phone, he asked, "Is there any news about Hamasaki?"

"Hi!" The staff officer lowered his head and replied, and then whispered: "Distance. The nearest Longyan stronghold in Xiaguan Village reported that the response troops they sent were completely wiped out. Major Hamasaki's body was found not far away. Major Hamasaki and his subordinates All the more than 300 warriors were crushed!"

"Baga, how did this happen, a reinforced squadron, a battalion of the Imperial Association Army, more than 600 people, can't even stand up for one night, what are they doing for food..." Anxiety became reality, and Ono became angry all of a sudden , like an angry lion, yelling at the headquarters!
