Chapter 690 The third surprise
"Retreat, let's go to the guard company's position and give the Japanese a third surprise!" Wang Ping ordered decisively.
Xiong Changhe was stunned for a moment, and asked with disbelief: "Captain, there is still!"
Wang Ping affirmed: "The Japanese and puppet troops came here in such a mighty way, so we must prepare more surprises for them!"
"We'll go now. Captain Yang, stay, gather the troops, and wait for the opportunity. The Japanese lost so many people here, and they were all Japanese. They would definitely keep people to clean the battlefield. See if there are any advantages to take."
Independent command of operations is what every grassroots commander dreams of.
To climb to a higher level, you must have this ability.
Yang Huping knew this truth very well, and when he saw a lit up, he promised: "Please rest assured to ensure that the task is completed!"
Wang Ping could not feel at ease because of his promise, but frowned and reminded: "You must control the casualties and use the minimum loss to achieve the greatest results. There are still many Japanese and puppet troops on the road. Don't put this piece of fat in front of us at the end. We have no troops to stop!"
"Yes! Leader!"
On the road, the Japanese brigade captain blushed, and his heart's anger made him have the idea of killing people on the spot.
He has always claimed that the imperial army is invincible. At least on the Chinese battlefield, no Chinese army is his opponent.
However, the situation in front of me completely overturned my thoughts.
The Eighth Route Army, the poorly equipped Eighth Route Army, not only defeated the Imperial Army in tactical terms, but also made itself weak and had no idea to fight back.
At this time, the deputy captain came over, his face heavier than when he left.
The captain immediately had a very bad premonition, and then asked with a calm face
"The casualties are counted?"
"Hi!" The deputy captain hesitated and answered.
"Sir, the attacking troops lost a total of 86 people, including 36 imperial troops... Among them, 51 people were killed in battle, and 35 people were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness!"
"In the ambush battle, all the losses were from the Imperial Army, with a total of 298 people, of which 211 were killed in battle, and 87 people lost their combat effectiveness!"
The captain's face showed a disbelief: "Baga! How could the casualties be so big!"
The deputy captain quickly replied: "If it was pure machine gun strafing, with the response of the troops, even if the enemy equipped with many heavy machine guns, we would not lose more than one hundred people!"
"But, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning! While the machine gun was firing, it also threw four or five hundred grenades into the highway, and many grenades exploded in the air. Most of the soldiers who died in battle were killed by grenades!"
At this time, the captain suddenly realized a fact that made his back chill!
Last night, under the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack, the Imperial Army lost more than 300 people, and there were more than 300 people in front of us.
You know, there are only one thousand people in a full infantry brigade. Even if the brigade command strengthens its mountain artillery squadron, there are only less than one thousand one hundred people.
With so many troops, nearly 700 people were lost before they even fought face to face with the Eighth Route Army, half of which were more than half.
The squadron leader could not imagine how many troops he could fight after he actually met the main force of the Eighth Route Army.
At that moment, the captain was scared.
However, as the commander, he did not express all his inner thoughts.
And even if I am really afraid, I cannot retreat.
The brigade commander gave him the task of completely annihilated the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Tianxin Town. If he had not even seen the main force of the Eighth Route Army, he would withdraw his troops and lose so many troops. The captain was sure that if he stepped into Linfen City, a military police would find him and send him to the military court.
Whether for the honor of the soldiers or for his own future, the captain of this battle must continue to fight.
He took a deep breath and ordered: "Can the wounded follow the troops and continue to advance?"
"Not only will it drag down a large number of combat troops to take care of them, but also the wounded follow the troops, which will seriously affect the morale of the troops!"
"A infantry company was drawn from the Imperial Army to protect the wounded and retreat directly to Linfen City. I will send a telegram to Linfen City and ask them to send cars to pick them up!"
"Other troops, keep moving forward!"
"In addition to ensuring that there are no Eighth Route Army on the ground, there are also no Eighth Route Army troops hidden underneath!"
"This place is not far from the Eighth Route Army's base. We would rather be slower than be raided by them again!"
Soon, the rifles of more than 300 puppet troops of the vanguard were all bayonets and scattered, forming a large net with a width of over 200 meters on the front. While moving forward, they stabbed the ground with a bayonet to ensure that there were no tunnels for hiding people underground.
"Captain, here is three kilometers away from the new first regiment station, and you can arrive in an hour at most!" Without encountering the Eighth Route Army attack for three consecutive hours, the deputy captain's nerves were tense all the way and slowly relaxed.
The captain couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Yoxi, we can finally fight the Eighth Route Army!"
"Order the troops to keep moving forward without rushing. Although this degree is a little slower, as long as the Imperial Army has no casualties, it is worth it no matter how slow it is!"
"Hi!" The deputy captain agreed with the order.
But he still reminded with a worried look on his face: "But I'm a little worried! We came over in a mighty way, and the Eighth Route Army must know. If they retreat before we arrived, then we will be in vain!"
"After all, facing the powerful Imperial Army, they often do retreating in the face of war!"
The captain's brows also frowned, but soon he made a decision: "If they run away, then we will chase them!"
"They have no base, no food supply, and even no equipment and ammunition supply. They will definitely not be able to fight against us when they fight in the trenches. Unless they leave Linfen, we will chase them and fight until they are wiped out!"
At this moment, the captain with a keen sense of smell suddenly saw a spot of light appearing on a slope seven or eight hundred meters away.
Despite the flash, the captain was very sure that it was produced by the telescope or scope reflecting sunlight.
"Someone has been observing us!" the captain frowned and shouted.
Seeing the deputy captain showing an inexplicable expression because of his words, the captain pointed to the slope not far away and explained: "There are Eighth Route Army behind the high ground, and they are observing us with a telescope!"
"Do you want to order the artillery to kill them!" the deputy captain suggested.
"Room up now! The people who can equip telescopes in the Eighth Route Army must be senior officers. It's good to be able to kill their commanders!" The captain ordered with excitement on his face.
