After the order was issued, without waiting for the instructor Liang Cheng to object, he took a submachine gun thrown by the guard and rushed to the battlefield!

More than a dozen cadres and soldiers, holding pistols or holding submachine guns, rushed out.

The instructor who was about to speak out could only swallow the words he had said, and then ordered the guard beside him.

"Why are you still standing there? Give me a submachine gun and rush over with the battalion commander. Be sure to protect the battalion commander!"

After nearly twenty pistols and submachine guns joined the battle, the one-sided situation on the battlefield finally stabilized. The soldiers holding rifles in their hands fought back bit by bit with the cooperation of the pistols, from the beginning of a warrior against a Japanese, slowly spreading to two soldiers against a Japanese, and to the end, three soldiers against a Japanese.

The entire hand-to-hand battle lasted for twenty minutes before stopping.

"Lao Liang, are you okay?" Xiong Changhe asked quickly as he looked at the instructor carrying blood on his body.

"I'm fine, but the price we paid is not that high in order to acquire this stronghold!" Liang Cheng shook his head and said with a look of pain.

Although the Japanese accounted for the majority of the corpses everywhere. However, there were many Eighth Route Army. Although Xiong Changhe organized a large number of pistolmen and submachine gunmen to participate in the battle, on average, the casualties of the first battalion were still very large. If you killed two Japanese, you would definitely have to sacrifice one soldier. In addition, the injured on the battlefield, the troops suffered even greater losses!

Xiong Changhe's already solemn face became heavier at this time: "The casualties are a bit big. However, if we don't fight this battle, we don't know the huge gap between us and the Japanese!"

"Also, after this hand-to-hand battle, the surviving soldiers are well-deserved veterans. As long as qualified recruits are added and a little training is required, the combat effectiveness of the troops will definitely be stronger than before!"

"So, instructor, don't be too sad. When fighting, there will be no casualties!"

"Besides, we wiped out four hundred Japanese devils in this battle. Even if we sacrificed two hundred, we made a profit in terms of casualties."

Liang Cheng nodded and affirmed: "Old Xiong, you are right. This is indeed a big victory."

"If our troops want to become stronger and stronger, such tough battles must be experienced!"

"I will organize troops to clean the battlefield immediately. If the Third Company holds on for one more minute in front, the casualties may be more. We must seize the time and retreat as soon as possible!"

The commander of the Japanese Army Brigade Regiment of Linfen City, Major General Kawaguchi was very angry. He was like an angry lion, scolding whoever he caught.

Yes, no matter who it is, in this position, facing this situation, he will be back to the thunder.

Before he officially took office, a county town in his jurisdiction was lost, and more than a thousand imperial troops were lost.

After taking office, I haven’t figured out the situation in the jurisdiction yet, and now something is wrong again!

Hundreds of Eighth Route Army soldiers passed through their jurisdiction with a large amount of equipment and ammunition. Not only did they not stop them, but they also didn't know that this was a slap in the face.

Therefore, after knowing that these Eighth Route Army were going to fight back from Hongcun, Major General Kawaguchi issued strict orders to the defenders and reinforcements of Hongcun's strongholds, and they must defend Hongcun and block these Eighth Route Army. Otherwise, all officers above the second lieutenant would be engaged in military law!

However, even so, the Hongcun stronghold was taken down by the Eighth Route Army.

At this moment, the reinforcements he sent were still struggling to move forward nearly eight kilometers away from Hongcun.

"Bageya Road, more than 400 Imperial Army need guns, cannons, and strong fortifications. Even the attack of the main battalion of the Eighth Route Army cannot withstand. Are they all stationed?" Major General Kawaguchi, who was full of anger, couldn't help it anymore, stared at the Chief of Staff and cursed.

Seeing the adjutant rushing over from the telecommunications room next to him, staring at him and asked, "Where is the reinforcement force? Has the reinforcement force broken through the Eighth Route Army's interception yet?"

"You know, there are only one Eighth Route Army standing in front of them, and there are more than one hundred people, and they have more than one thousand people, and even if one spits, they can drown them all. However, they have been fighting for nearly an hour and have not rushed over!"

The adjutant quickly replied: "General, the reinforcements have broken through the Eighth Route Army's interception... but?"

"It's just something. If you rush over, go to Hongcun quickly. Now kill it, and maybe you can intercept some Eighth Route Army troops. You must know that the weapons, ammunition, medicines and gold they transport will definitely greatly increase their strength after entering their base. At that time, it will definitely become more and more difficult for us to kill them through encirclement and suppression!"

After hesitating for a few seconds, the adjutant replied helplessly: "It's too late!"

"When they arrived at the stronghold, the Eighth Route Army had already retreated, and the entire Hongcun stronghold was transported out, and no bullet was left!"

"Also, there are a large number of war horses passing through the road next to the stronghold. As expected, the Eighth Route Army that the commander asked us to kill has returned to their base!"

"Our siege and interception operation failed, and the lives of a stronghold and more than 400 imperial soldiers were lost!"

Major General Kawaguchi's anger became even more intense. He stared at the adjutant and cursed: "Get out, they are all a group of goats, and the reinforcements are also a bunch of stupid pigs. If they are no longer delayed by the Eighth Route Army for an hour on the road, the Hongcun stronghold will probably not be occupied by the Eighth Route Army, and our siege and interception operation will not fail!"

"Now the Eighth Route Army has returned to their base. It will definitely be more difficult to destroy them and destroy these materials than to climb to the sky!"

"Bageya Road, Chief of Staff, you are responsible. All the officers involved in this operation will be dismissed and sent to the military court. Our brigade should not be such a coward!"

"Hi!" The Chief of Staff did not dare to say more nonsense.

The new officer took office as three fires. The Chief of Staff knew very well that the reason why the brigade commander Major General Kawaguchi was so inhumane was to take one at a time and all the officers of the brigade were to vent his anger, and on the other hand, it was to replace the entire brigade with his subordinates he brought back from the front line.

At six o'clock in the morning, when it was dawn, Wang Ping decisively ordered the troops to stop, hide in a forest and rest, and wait for darkness to continue moving forward.

"Captain, here is less than 30 kilometers away from the base area. If you march quickly, you will definitely be able to arrive in five hours. Moreover, we walk on small roads, so it is difficult for the Japanese to appear. Otherwise, we will persevere and return to the base area to rest!" The guard company commander Hong Ruijun put forward his own ideas.

Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "No, it's too risky to do this!"

"You know what is entrained in the weapons and ammunition we transport. It doesn't matter, but medicines and gold certainly can't have any problems!"

"So, we would rather stay here for one more night than take risks!"

"The troops rest on site and strengthen their vigilance. The radio operator immediately contacted the first battalion commander Xiong Changhe and asked about the battle situation last night!"

In less than half an hour, a telegram was sent to Wang Ping.

Soon, the good mood on Wang Ping's face disappeared, and he was replaced by a touch of solemnity.

"It seems that in addition to training shooter skills and tactical actions, we cannot ignore the most basic bayonet fighting. After returning, we must strengthen the army's ability to fight hand-to-hand combat!" Wang Ping sighed and analyzed.

At this moment, the command center of the Japanese military brigade in Linfen City, which had been lively for a night, finally calmed down. Major General Kawaguchi, who was full of anger, felt much calmer.

He didn't know that the enemy he was facing next was still in his defense area.

Standing in front of the map and thinking for a whole middle of the night, he ordered all the brigade officers and above to go back and forth at dawn, and planned his first major battle after taking office as brigade commander and recovering Xiangfen County!
