"What are you waiting for? Order the troops to retreat immediately. The closest Imperial Army is more than 80 kilometers away, so we retreat to them. Our Fourth Mixed Brigade has never suffered such a great loss. The remaining Imperial Army cannot lose any more. I also need them to reorganize the Fourth Mixed Brigade and come back to take revenge!" Major General Yoshino knew his current situation very well and decided very decisively.

Soon, nearly 8,000 Japanese and puppet troops began to retreat.

In order to ensure the safety of the remaining troops of the Fourth Brigade, although Teraunuchi was very annoyed by their results, he wanted to slash Major General Yoshino, the commander of the Fourth Brigade. However, he still drew the third company of bombers to escort over their heads to cover their retreat.

Just as Major General Yoshino was becoming more and more confident about the next retreat because of the arrival of the escort bomber, a cavalry lieutenant suddenly rushed over from the front.

"General, the road ahead was destroyed by the Tuo Eighth Route Army. It was very serious. Except for armored vehicles and tanks, the big vehicles and cars could not leave!" The cavalry lieutenant reported anxiously as soon as he stopped in front of Major General Yoshino.

"Nani? Is the Eighth Route Army plans to wipe out us here?" the chief of staff shouted subconsciously.

But he quickly denied this idea: "No, last night, the Tujiao Route Army that attacked us also suffered heavy losses. The bodies left at our base were no less than a thousand, and they had no strength to wipe us out!"

Major General Yoshino frowned and replied: "They must not be able to wipe out all of them, but just hold us back!"

"We not only lost all the ammunition last night, but also almost all the supplies. Now each soldier only has one day of dry food, and we will go hungry in one day. As long as the Tujiao Route Army holds us back, it will take a few days to force our troops to collapse!"

"We can go around to grab food. If it really doesn't work, we can still let our superiors drop food for us!" The Chief of Staff proposed his own idea.

"Where is the ammunition? Do you also do airdrops? Don't forget that we are not hundreds or thousands of people, but nearly eight thousand soldiers. The amount of airdropping can be at most urgent. It is absolutely impossible to solve the fundamental problem!" Major General Yoshino frowned and analyzed.

"Hold us during the day and attack us at night. In addition, we lack guns and bullets. It won't take long for us to spend nearly 8,000 people being consumed by the Eighth Route Army who rushed over from all directions!"

"Bageya Road, the Eighth Route Army is very calculating and has captured our fatal weakness with just one move!"

The Chief of Staff's face became solemn, and hesitated for a few seconds and asked.

"General, then we are now a piece of meat on the chopping board of the Eighth Route Army!"

"No!" Major General Yoshino said firmly.

"As long as we speed up the retreat and meet with the nearest imperial army as soon as possible, all problems will not be a problem~"

"But Tujia Road destroyed the highway and could not get through cars and big cars. How can we speed up the speed!" the chief of staff asked anxiously.

"No, no cars, no cars, no big cars, no artillery, and excess weapons and ammunition. As long as the troops survive, we can fight back in the future. How can we take back what we lose? "Major General Yoshino replied astonishingly.

Then he changed his subject and continued: "But, such good equipment cannot be cheaper than the Eighth Route Army. Let the Eighth Route Army equip these weapons to attack us in turn!"

"Engineering Squadron, act immediately and blow up the extra weapons and equipment!"

"The others continued to retreat and marched to evacuate here!"

The Chief of Staff's eyes were full of reluctance. You should know that among the weapons and equipment behind him, mountain cannons, field cannons, and infantry cannons, all of which were 34. So many cannons were also precious to the Imperial Army, not to mention that the big trucks and cars also transported various equipment that could be equipped with at least 3,000 people.

But Major General Yoshino said the truth. Without losing these equipment, the remaining 4,000 people in the brigade cannot be safely withdrawn.

Compared with the lives of thousands of imperial troops, these equipment is obviously nothing!

Finally, I could only grit my teeth and answer: "Hi! I will make arrangements right now!"

"Boom boom boom..." Not long after, a violent explosion rang out among the retreating troops of the Japanese and puppet troops.

Seeing that the mountain cannons were blown into scrap iron, and trucks of weapons and ammunition were blown into parts, Commander Zhou of the Guard Regiment hundreds of meters away looked gritting his teeth, wishing he could rush onto the road to chop the Japanese who were blowing up the weapons alive.

"The prodigal son, the Japanese are indeed prodigal sons. What a good weapon, they just blown into scrap metal by them. Get out of here!" Captain Zhou cursed, using to vent his anger and dissatisfaction.

Then he stared at Wang Ping and asked, "Captain Wang, the Japanese are too cruel. He thought he could seize some artillery and applied to the military region to establish a mountain artillery company. Now it seems that even a complete mortar can't be seized!"

The expression on Wang Ping's face did not change because of the Japanese bombing equipment.

Looking at the anxious Commander Zhou in front of him, he replied confidently: "Our mountain cannon company is six mountain cannons! Commander Zhou, as long as the military region agrees, he can go to the arsenal to pick up six mountain cannons at any time!"

"The arsenal can produce mountain cannons!" Captain Zhou asked with his eyes lit up.

"Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "Not yet! Even if it can be produced, the output will be very low! However, the arsenal can be repaired. As long as the Japanese do not blow up the cannons into a pile of scrap iron, I can repair them! So, the weapons that were blown up by the Japanese on the road are treasures to me!"

After the Japanese army gave up the weapons and equipment that made Wang Ping salivate, Wang Ping also let go of the remaining Japanese and puppet troops.

Moreover, Wang Ping did not have the ability to deal with them. The reason why he was annoyed to force the Japanese was that he had seized the weakness of the Japanese. If he really wanted to fight the remaining Japanese and puppet troops, even if they lacked guns and bullets, he would not be able to do it.

The Japanese Independence Fourth Mixed Brigade returned in a disastrous defeat, which meant that one of the goals of this large-scale encirclement and suppression failed.

The angry and embarrassed Shou Te Nai'uchi did not give up on the encirclement because of this, and he wanted to take revenge.

Therefore, the Eighth Route Army's anti-encirclement and suppression did not end with the retreat of the Japanese Independence Fourth Mixed Brigade.

However, all of this has nothing to do with Wang Ping.

The longer the anti-encirclement and suppression lasts, the larger the scale, the more weapons and ammunition the Eighth Route Army needs to trenches.

Back at the arsenal, Wang Ping received a telegram from the military region asking him to hurry up and produce ammunition before he had time.

"Manager, the arsenal's raw materials are not enough!" The arsenal's political commissar, who was responsible for production, hurried into Wang Ping's room.

"After the anti-encirclement and suppression began, the arsenal never received any raw materials sent by the troops. During this period, two shifts were used to produce every day, and no matter how many raw materials were, they would be used up! If there were no raw materials, at most three days, the bullet would not produce copper ingots for bullets!"

"The other raw materials can't last for too long!"
