Chapter 331 Doubt?
"Report to the regiment commander, our company commander asked me to report that the remnants of the Japanese and puppet army have been driven out of the mountains by us. Because the Japanese army has troops stationed at the mountain pass, in order to reduce the losses, the cavalry company has stopped chasing the enemy and is now rushing back with the captive Imperial Army!" The correspondent of the cavalry company rushed to Wang Ping and reported excitedly.
Before Wang Ping could speak, the guard rushed over and the correspondent.
"Report to the regiment commander, the guard company, the third battalion and the first company, the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in the Japanese and puppet army camps have also captured a large number of imperial army. In addition, the artillery and heavy machine guns equipped by the Japanese and the large amount of supplies brought by the Japanese were not taken away in the military camp and were all seized by us!"
"Okay! Good fight! The Japanese are called "eating the fruits of themselves". The Japanese have always used poison gas bombs to deal with us. Today, they also let them taste the poison gas bombs!" Wang Ping shouted very happily, and his tense heart also relaxed.
He ordered to the several staff officers around him: "Guard Company, the Third Battalion and the One Company, monitor the poison gas situation at the Japanese and puppet troops' garrison at any time. As long as the poison gas dissipates, clean the battlefield immediately!"
"Caval Company, Reconnaissance Company, search for the remaining enemies around the battlefield! By the way, look forward to the escaped Japanese and puppet troops and report their movements at any time!"
"Architecture, transfer the artillery immediately, then draw out personnel, reinforce the guard company and the third battalion and the first company at any time, clean up the battlefield, and take away all the things you can take away. After dawn, the Japanese will definitely dispatch bombers to bomb the place, especially dozens of mountain artillery and several heavy artillery. They must find a way to drag it away, and the Japanese must not be bombed!"
"Finally, I'll send a telegram to the political commissar to stop transferring and breaking through. Draw all the soldiers who can still move in the regiment and hurry here to clean the battlefield immediately. The Japanese left us with little time!"
At the command center of the Independent Regiment, political commissar Cheng Xiao was frowning and commanding the troops to distribute supplies to prepare for a breakout for a while.
The Chief of Staff Zeng Quan was helping and commanding, and the two people's brows never let go.
On the one hand, he was worried about the future of the Independent Group, and on the other hand, he was worried about Wang Ping, who was still on the front line.
At this moment, a sound full of excitement suddenly rang out at the door of the war room.
"Win, political commissar, team leader won!"
Seeing the communications officer rushing in with excitement, Cheng Xiao was stunned at first, and then quickly reacted.
"What won, please make it clear!"
"It's the regiment commander. The regiment commander successfully raided the Japanese and puppet troops' garrison. The Japanese and puppet troops were severely damaged, and the remnants had escaped from the mountains. The regiment commander asked us to assemble all the active soldiers, hurry to the battlefield, and clean up the battlefield!" The communications staff was very excited and stuttered in his answer, but it did not affect Cheng Xiao's understanding.
"How did he do it!" This was a question that instantly arose in Cheng Xiao's mind.
However, Cheng Xiao did not hesitate on this issue for too long and directly ordered: "Chief of Staff, inform the companies to bring all the active soldiers and the mules and horses that were unified by the regiment headquarters just now, and marches to reinforce the regiment commander!"
"Tell everyone, the regiment commander has defeated the Japanese and we won, so there is no need to retreat!"
After saying that, Cheng Xiao was the first to rush out of the war room: "Go to the battlefield right away!"
At this time, Major Nakamura had stopped and ran for several hours, which made him flushed and panting.
After confirming that the cavalry behind them who were chasing them had stopped completely, Nakamura ordered the troops to stop, assemble the troops, and count the losses!
Not long after, a captain walked over with his head down.
"Sir, there are only more than 900 Imperial Army soldiers who rushed out with us, and there are more than 500 Imperial Army soldiers!"
"Nani? Nearly 5,000 soldiers lost more than 3,500 people in a few hours. How is this possible?" Major Nakamura asked with a disbelief expression.
The captain quickly replied: "In order to avoid the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army cavalry, many warriors fled into the forest, and now there are still imperial troops coming out of the forest. If nothing unexpected happens, there must be three or four hundred imperial troops in the forest!"
"But the Imperial Army was either killed by the independent regiment or became a prisoner on the battlefield!"
Nakamura's anger did not dissipate because of these hundreds of people. He stared at the other party and cursed: "Even so, the Imperial Army has lost nearly a thousand people, and has also lost all artillery and supplies! With such a huge loss, how can you tell me to the General? You must know that yesterday afternoon I promised the general that I could reach the independent regiment headquarters at noon tomorrow and destroy them!"
The captain officer was also full of anger and directly retorted: "Sir, I think it's not our fault. No one expected that the Independent Regiment would have poison gas bombs and dared to use poison gas bombs on us in violation of the Geneva Convention. In this case, no officer of the Imperial Army would command the battle, and would not have a commander who would do well!"
Nakamura's anger disappeared suddenly, his eyes lit up and replied: "Yes, what you are right is a poison gas bomb, we have no responsibility!"
"The power of the poisonous gas bomb is obvious to all. No one can solve this problem. I will immediately telegram the general and ask for combat guidance. The eighth Route Army has poisonous gas bombs in its hands. For the safety of the warriors, we can no longer attack without preparation!"
At the command center of the Japanese military brigade in Laiyuan City, Major General Ono was dreaming when the Chief of Staff suddenly broke in.
"Your Excellency General, something happened!"
"Master Nakamura was attacked by Tujiao Route Army at night, causing heavy losses?"
"Impossible. Nakamura has nearly 5,000 troops in his hands. The Independent Regiment has less than 1,000 people. Nakamura can even repel the Independent Regiment's attack! Chief of Staff, are you mistaken?" Major General Ono, who squinted his eyes, showed a disbelief expression.
The Chief of Staff didn't believe it at first, but after seeing the word "poison gas bomb".
Since the invasion of China, no matter how powerful the opponent the Imperial Army encountered, as long as the poison gas bomb was used, the final victory would definitely belong to the Imperial Army, which shows how powerful the poison gas bomb was.
It can be said that in the face of poison gas bombs, if the Imperial Army was not prepared, it would be the only fate of being massacred.
At that time, many of the Imperial Army members who were only concerned about avoiding shelling did not even wear military uniforms, let alone carry gas masks that they could not usually use.
Without any preparation, the Eighth Route Army used poison gas bombs to attack the garrison. If it weren't for the large garrison and the poison gas was not spread very quickly, Nakamura and his thousands of men would have been directly destroyed.
Thinking of this, the chief of staff, who had a solemn look on his face, immediately replied: "It was a poison gas bomb, and the Independent Corps used the poison gas bomb. If Nakamura had not responded quickly, more than a thousand imperial troops who broke through with Nakamura would have been broken on the battlefield!"
"Poison gas bomb!" Major General Ono was stunned for a moment.
This weapon, which belongs to the Imperial Army, was actually used by the backward independent regiment. Ono's first reaction was that he did not believe it.
But the solemn expression on the Chief of Staff's face made him realize that it was true, and then his face turned pale.
