The Chief of Staff took a deep breath and analyzed.

"General, I am not willing to accept it. However, compared with the Independent Regiment, the equipment and materials reserved by Laiyuan City and Laiyuan City are more important to us and must not be taken away by the Eighth Route Army."

As the commander of the Japanese garrison in Laiyuan City, Ono knows more than anyone else how much equipment and supplies are in Laiyuan City.

As a major transportation route, a large amount of equipment and materials seized by the Imperial Army on the front line were transported to Laiyuan City by road and temporarily reserved through the temporary transit station of Laiyuan City.

The Chief of Staff was right just now, even if he insisted on eliminating the Independent Corps.

But as long as the Eighth Route Army took the opportunity to take over Laiyuan City, with the equipment of Laiyuan City, they could immediately form at least three independent regiments to continue fighting with the Imperial Army, which would not be worth the loss.

"Bageyalu!" the angry Ono cursed again.

Although he was very unwilling to give up, for the sake of the overall situation, Ono could only calm himself down and then decisively ordered.

"Then retreat! Chief of Staff, is it possible to divide the troops and leave some people to continue attacking and fight a decisive battle with the independent regiment. Some of the Imperial Army returned to Laiyuan City at night to fight the Eighth Route Army that attacked Laiyuan City!"

"No!" the chief of staff shook his head and denied.

"General, our troops, especially combat troops, are not many. If we divide the troops, we will easily be defeated by the Eighth Route Army!"

"Then go back to Laiyuan City, Chief of Staff, immediately give an order to return to Laiyuan City in the shortest time!" Ono no longer hesitated and ordered very decisively.

"Also, inform us that the troops outside the mountain will gather immediately. Although they are close to Laiyuan City, they are too scattered and must concentrate their troops before they can leave!"

After taking out an infantry squadron, the Japanese had three infantry squadrons outside the mountain, one artillery squadron and one heavy machine gun squadron.

Attack four or five at a distance, two infantry squads, one artillery squad and one heavy machine gun squad, and scattered outside the mountains.

After receiving the assembly order, the captain immediately sent a messenger to ask the troops to assemble towards the mountain pass, and then he also brought less than two hundred Japanese to the mountain pass.

Ma Ronghe, the cavalry company commander of the Independent Regiment, was born in the Northwest Army and was a veritable cavalryman.

After the Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi, it was impossible for the Red Army to form a cavalry unit because it was short of guns and bullets at that time.

Ma Ronghe, who was born in a cavalry, could only leave the cavalry and turn to infantry.

Now that he has been excavated by Wang Ping and served as the company commander of the cavalry company, he not only restored his cavalry status, but also took a rocket position, and rushed back from an ordinary infantry platoon leader to a company commander of the cavalry company directly under the regiment headquarters and a deputy battalion-level cadre.

Because the Independent Regiment had many seized battles with the Japanese army in front of the battle, not only did it destroy a cavalry brigade of the Japanese army, but it also eliminated many Japanese cavalry.

Therefore, there are very sufficient war horses and equipment used to form cavalry. If allowed, it is possible to form a cavalry battalion.

However, Wang Ping only gave Ma Ronghe a cavalry company. In his opinion, any unit is of essence rather than number, and this is even more so for cavalry troops.

As an old cavalry, Ma Ronghe knows the characteristics of cavalry more than anyone else. It is difficult to train, fight fiercely, and suffers more casualties. And generally speaking, casualties basically mean sacrifice.

In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the cavalry company, although Wang Ping only gave himself a cavalry company of 100 people, Ma Ronghe recruited more than 150 cavalrymen.

In Ma Ronghe's words, since you need to train, please attract more people to train, so that everyone can develop combat effectiveness, and then select the best trained ones to join the cavalry company, and the rest are the ones that are substitutes. Once the cavalry company suffers losses in combat, they will immediately replenish their combat effectiveness to ensure the cavalry company's combat effectiveness without spending a lot of time to retrain the cavalry.

Both Wang Ping and political commissar Cheng Xiao agreed. In the end, in order to ensure the training of the cavalry company, they almost drew all the war horses that the independent regiment could use and handed them all to Ma Ronghe.

To this day, the cavalry company has been established for nearly two months.

After two months of high-intensity training, although the infantry cannot be trained into elite cavalry. However, taking horses to charge, shooting on the horse's back, chopping... Everyone in the cavalry company was very skilled in practicing these most basic cavalry tactical movements. They screamed and asked the company commander Ma Ronghe to fight and pulled them out to find the Japanese to try it out.

After finally waiting for the regiment headquarters to go to war, not only Ma Ronghe was very happy, but also more than 100 cavalrymen under him.

The Japanese army closest to Yamaguchi where the Japanese gathering place was located was directly selected by Ma Ronghe, becoming the first test stone since the establishment of the cavalry company.

"Platform Commander Yang, one platoon, bring four machine guns from the company to the front of the Japanese, use guerrilla warfare to kill the Japanese machine gunners from a distance!" Staring at the subordinates who were eager to try in front of him, Ma Ronghe directly began to give orders.

"What cavalry fear most is machine guns. This Japanese are equipped with three heavy machine guns and four light machine guns. As long as they kill their heavy machine guns, the heavy machine guns will lose their function. In the eyes of our cavalry, the remaining infantry and artillery are lambs to be slaughtered. We eat whatever we want!"

The soldiers of the cavalry company are all infantry, and the cadres are also the original infantry backbone.

Although they became a cavalry, they did not forget the guerrilla warfare they were best at when they were infantry.

In addition, with the help of war horses and fighting guerrilla wars with the Japanese, the first platoon leader was even more confident. He took on the mission without saying a word, and then more than a dozen cavalrymen left the temporary garrison of the cavalry company with a roar.

The troops led by the Japanese brigade captain were closest to Yamaguchi Luojiawan, because everyone woke up in their sleep and rushed to the road, which was very tired. Therefore, the team of nearly 200 people did not have much vigilance.

After all, they had not been attacked for two days after they were stationed outside the mountain. Over time, everyone became lazy.

"Captain, it's less than three kilometers away from Luojiawan!" The deputy captain reminded with a pair of dark circles.

"Yoxi, order the troops to speed up and try to rest for another hour when they arrive. The troops are too tired. If they encounter the enemy, they will suffer too much!" The captain frowned and ordered.

"Dadadada..." As soon as the order was released, a burst of gunfire came.

The captain, who was a little confused just now, woke up immediately.

First he turned over and jumped off the war horse, and then lay on the ground under the protection of the guards.

"Bageya Road, it must be the captain of the Eighth Route Army guerrillas. They then attack us from a distance with machine guns!" The deputy captain who was thrown by a dog begging and eating shit shouted dissatisfied.

The captain didn't say nonsense and gave orders directly with anger!

"The artillery fights back immediately and kills these cunning sneak attackers!"

Soon, the machine gun that attacked them fell silent in the explosion, and the Japanese who lost more than a dozen people continued to move forward.

After walking less than five hundred meters, he was attacked again.

Although the sneak attack time was shorter than before, because the sneak attack was machine gun, more than a dozen Japanese were killed and injured in the end.
