Chapter VII Firefighters
It took only half an hour before and after the battle, Wang Ping only took a few minutes to tell everything Yang Chengwu wanted to know.
After looking at the chief of staff, the two people showed expressions of shock and admiration.
Because the entire battle process was so thrilling.
If the Japanese did not underestimate the enemy and were a little cautious, Wang Ping next to him might not be able to come back.
Of course, the two of them admire Wang Ping very much. Facing a strong enemy, they immediately find out the gap between the enemy and us, and then use their own advantages to deal with the Japanese disadvantages. Finally, they do not give the Japanese any chance to counterattack through a fatal attack?
From this we can see that Wang Ping is not only very cunning, but can think of various means to deal with the Japanese, but he is also very sensible and can accurately seize the fighter opportunities that others cannot see.
Soon, one afternoon passed. The news that Wang Ping and a new platoon destroyed more than 40 Japanese cavalry and seized a large number of weapons and equipment had already reached everyone in the headquarters.
Thanks to Wang Ping bringing back thousands of kilograms of horse meat and hundreds of people in the headquarters who usually can’t even eat coarse grains. At night, everyone gets a bowl of steaming broth and nearly half a kilogram of horse meat, which can easily dispel the fatigue of rushing through the day.
Under such circumstances, Wang Ping was no longer the unknown combat staff member of the headquarters. No matter where he went, everyone looked at him with admiration, and they all replied with respect to him, saying "Staff General Wang".
Wang Ping didn't want to be discussed wherever he went, but he knew in his heart that such an ending would be very beneficial to him.
When the headquarters has a good reputation, others will not gossip when they go out to lead troops or get promoted in the future.
After the Japanese occupied the county town, the news that the cavalry squadron was completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army followed the ears of the Japanese Regiment Captain.
In terms of force, a cavalry squadron is not as good as an infantry squadron.
However, the U-cost cost to train a qualified cavalry squadron is very high. The same cost can be put on infantry, and three infantry squadrons can be trained.
In addition, the entire regiment had only one cavalry squadron, and the troop leader who learned the news was anger.
Although it was already dark, in order to find the Eighth Route Army and avenge the cavalry squadron, the captain resolutely sent an infantry brigade to search for the traces of the Eighth Route Army around the county town based on the squadron and squad.
The Japanese army was soon sent to Yang Chengwu by intelligence officers.
After eating horse meat, drinking broth, and having two or three hours of rest, everyone's face was much less tired.
Yang Chengwu decisively ordered the troops to continue to move deep into the forest and avoid the search and reconnaissance of the Japanese.
The team stopped to rest until dawn the next day.
During the daytime battle and the night of travel, Wang Ping, who had a poor foundation, was also very tired. So, as soon as the team stopped, he seized the time to rest.
But after less than half an hour of sleep, the headquarters guard woke him up.
"Staff Officer Wang, the emergency situation, the commander asked you to report it immediately!"
Seeing that the headquarter were all frowning, Yang Chengwu walked around with his hands behind his back, looking very anxious, Wang Ping quickly asked.
"Commander, Wang Ping was ordered to report, is there something wrong?"
Seeing Wang Ping, Yang Chengwu seemed to see the solution, and his brows suddenly unfolded: "We lost a group of people, including doctors and nurses from field hospitals. There were eight lesbians, three doctors and five nurses. You don't know that these three doctors are the only ones in our field hospitals that can perform surgery. There must be no accidents, otherwise many wounded people will not be able to survive!"
Although Yang Chengwu did not say it clearly, he still figured out the meaning of the words, that is, he could save all the eight lost people.
Wang Ping frowned and immediately asked: "When did they get lost!"
"I just sent someone to investigate, but no one saw them in the first half of the night. It must have been the time when the troops were rushing to leave and they were forgotten in the temporary camp!"
The chief of staff next to him explained: "There are too many people in the headquarters and many departments. There are fewer people when retreating, no one will notice it. It was not until the departments counted the number of people just now that they knew that there were eight lesbians missing in the field hospital!"
Wang Ping did not hesitate and spoke frankly when he answered: "They must have overslept and did not transfer with the headquarters. What I worry most now is that they have fallen into the hands of the Japanese."
"Commander, we must hurry up. Give me ten people and I'll find them to come back!"
In order for the future wounded personnel of the First Military Sub-district to be treated in a timely manner, Yang Chengwu was rarely generous and gave Wang Ping the right to select subordinates and weapons himself.
Because no one knew whether the eight people had been captured by the Japanese, Wang Ping was not polite, so he asked for five people from the recruit company, including Zeng Quan and Zhong Yusheng, and then picked five veterans and guards from the headquarters.
Each person was given a rifle seized by Wang Ping, fifty bullets and three grenades, and also carried a light machine gun and three hundred machine gun bullets. He walked back under the envious and worried eyes of the other people in the headquarters.
The daylight was much faster, and the group only walked for five hours before reaching the temporary camping site last night.
"Staff Officer Wang, there is blood in front of him and a corpse. It is very likely that the lesbian we are looking for, and they were stabbed to death with a bayonet. The Japanese must have been here!" Zeng Quan, who was in the investigation, ran back to report with a serious look on his face.
Wang Ping ran forward dozens of meters before seeing the corpse. Then, with anger and worry, he looked around carefully.
"It must be the Japanese. The remaining seven doctors and nurses must have been captured by the Japanese. There are traces left by the Japanese retreat here. We will chase them immediately and rescue them. The field hospital cannot be without them." Wang Ping immediately made a decision.
The Japanese who searched for the whole night were also very tired. They caught several female Eighth Route Army members and seized many surgical instruments. The Japanese team leader immediately understood that these female Eighth Route Army members were doctors and nurses, and were more important fish than ordinary Eighth Route Army members.
In order to send these people back to the county town safely to seek credit, the team leader, who was afraid of an accident on the road, decisively ordered his subordinates to rest for a few hours first, and after everyone was fully prepared, they would send these women back to the county town.
Wang Ping, who followed the Japanese army's retreat, soon found the Japanese camp.
"No, the remaining seven lesbians were captured by the Japanese. There was a whole squad of Japanese soldiers in an infantry team. We are definitely not opponents!" Zeng Quan, who had fought with the Japanese, reported with a serious look on his face.
Ten subordinates looked at Wang Ping at the same time.
Zhong Yusheng, who was carrying a crooked hand, was the first to stand up and ask: "Staff Officer Wang, you are not afraid of dozens of Japanese cavalrymen, you must have a way to do it in a small team of Japanese soldiers!"
Wang Ping showed a bitter smile on his solemn face, and then replied: "You think too much of me. If the Japanese are so easy to destroy, they will not kill our ** team to retreat step by step!"
"What should I do? Did you just watch the seven lesbians be captured by the Japanese? The Japanese are worse than beasts, and there will definitely be no good ending when they fall into the Japanese!" Zhong Yusheng shouted with a look of reluctance.
Wang Ping's face turned gloomy. As a soul traveler, no one knew better than him the crimes committed by the Japanese in China.
You don’t have to think about it and know the ending that several women may face when they fall into the hands of the Japanese.
