Chapter 982
With the strength of a brigade and regiment concentrated on guarding the important towns bordering Wangxian and Bingzhou areas, it became extremely difficult for Zhao Zhiguo's troops to penetrate into the Bingzhou area and develop.
If they wait until they lose the Guanggu Division Regiment and then think about deploying the Pingcheng area, it will be too late.
Masao Murano did not hesitate at all, because he knew how fast Zhao Zhiguo's troops were developing, so he immediately ordered the Wangxian troops to withdraw from Wangxian overnight, leaving only a small number of intelligence personnel to monitor Wangxian's every move.
Zhao Zhiguo was still concentrating on dealing with the Japanese troops coming from the direction of Bingzhou.
A telegram from Zhao Ziming was sent to the headquarters.
"The Japanese troops in Wang County retreated last night?"
Masao Murano's choice did not surprise Zhao Zhiguo, but it was quite straightforward.
"Didn't Masao Murano want to unite with the annexed states to attack us? Why did he suddenly abandon Wang County? Is there something behind this?"
Yao Pengju thought that the kid must have bad intentions for abandoning a county so proactively.
"No, Masao Murano is a smart man. He knew that the 1,500 troops sent by Bingzhou did not pose a substantial threat to Anyang Town, so he decisively withdrew the troops from Wang County."
These 1,500 people cannot threaten Anyang Town, let alone Zhao Zhiguo, who will mobilize troops from Wang County.
In this case, it no longer makes sense for Masao Murano to continue sending troops to guard a county town.
On the contrary, after Zhao Zhiguo finished dealing with the Japanese troops in the direction of Bingzhou, he could confidently and boldly deal with Wangxian County.
By that time, the Japanese army will not only lose troops in Wang County, but may also lose a large amount of combat supplies.
Murano Masao very wisely withdrew his troops to the Pingcheng area.
"It will not be a good thing for us in the future to allow Guang Gusi to safely withdraw to Pingcheng with a regiment of troops," Tian Kezhi said.
A regiment of Japanese troops retreated to the Pingcheng area, which was equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountains!
When Zhao Zhiguo and others use troops in the Pingcheng area in the future, the Japanese troops in this regiment will inevitably become Zhao Zhiguo and others' most troublesome enemy.
"It's too late for us to gather our forces to stop them!"
Zhao Zhiguo didn't know that there would be trouble in the future, but their troops were too scattered in the Wangxian area, and it would take time to assemble them.
Moreover, the Japanese troops in Wang County retreated overnight without any movement. They were very close to the Wang County area, and the fast Japanese troops could reach Pingcheng in one day and one night.
Even the slower troops can reach the junction of the two regions in one day and one night. Pingcheng can then send troops to respond, which can completely reduce losses to a minimum.
"Inform my brother and Lao Qin that only one company of troops is stationed in the county. The purpose of this company is to maintain order in the county. The rest of the troops are not allowed to enter the county without permission."
Zhao Zhiguo did not forget that the little devil had poisonous gas bombs in his hands.
The population of Wangxian County is more than ten times that of Anyang Town. If the Japanese army used poison gas bombs against Wangxian County, the troops and people in the county would suffer.
In order to protect the security of the county, the best way is to reduce the deployment of troops in the county.
If the Japs attack Wangxian County again, it would be better if one of their companies in the county is withdrawn in time. Since they don't have many troops anyway, they won't be hoarding more supplies in the county.
It didn't matter that Masao Murano retreated. He was protecting himself, but it also made Zhao Zhiguo's worries disappear.
The Japanese army abandoned Wang County, which meant that Masao Murano had no confidence in using troops in the direction of Bingzhou.
Even the Japanese commander could not see hope, which meant that the Japanese army had only these 1,500 troops to attack Anyang Town.
"Let Gao Cang torture the little devil one more night, and I will send two companies to reinforce him now!"
Zhao Zhiguo thought about it. The special agent company was marching day and night, and now it was approaching the place where the Japanese army hid the truck. He estimated that it would not take long to destroy the Japanese truck.
As long as the Japanese trucks are destroyed, the Japanese army will either jump over the wall and attack Anyang Town.
Either choose to retreat, conserve troops and reduce losses.
No matter which method the Japanese army chooses, Zhao Zhiguo and the others have enough depth to set up an ambush and gradually consume the Japanese army's effective strength.
When the Japanese troops are almost exhausted, they will then gather superior forces to annihilate the remaining Japanese troops.
At about ten o'clock in the evening, the signal troops came with good news. The operation of the special agent company was successful, and all the trucks and the supplies carried by the Japanese troops were destroyed.
A small team guarding the Japanese truck was also wiped out.
When the Japanese army heard the news, they were immediately in trouble!
Before they could attack Anyang Town, their way back was cut off by Zhao Zhiguo.
"Notify the special agent company and the reconnaissance company, and after taking a short rest, immediately go to support Gao Cang and follow Gao Cang's command!"
Including the special agent company and the reconnaissance company, Gao Cang has six companies of troops around him, although the strength is still not as good as that of the Little Japanese.
But this group of little devils learned that their way forward was blocked and their way back was cut off, so their desire to fight was definitely not as strong as before.
As long as this battle is won, the Japanese troops in the Bingzhou direction will no longer dare to underestimate Anyang Town, nor will they easily invade Anyang Town.
Captain Yamazaki of the Japanese Army had learned that their truck had been destroyed, but he still did not realize that he was in a desperate situation.
"What will happen even if Zhao Zhiguo cuts off our escape route? We will go straight to Huanglong early tomorrow morning and capture Anyang Town. Zhao Zhiguo's troops will be homeless, and we will be commended by the division commander!"
Yamazaki decided to go all out, and since the route was cut off, he would go directly to Anyang Town.
At this time, the soldiers under Yamazaki were already yawning. They had marched all the way here during the day before yesterday without any rest on the way.
I encountered shelling last night and was frightened all night.
During the day, there was another sniper attack. Although they only caused dozens of casualties, this kind of cold gun that could take lives at any time made people fearful and alert at every turn, let alone sleepy.
After finally staying up until night, the vision became worse, and it was time for the Chinese army snipers to go back to eat and sleep.
The little Japanese soldiers wanted to have a good sleep at this time. No one would care about them and they would sleep until dawn.
As long as they can get a good night's sleep, they are willing to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire tomorrow.
But before the kid could close his eyes, gunshots suddenly rang out from the four corners of the Japanese camp.
"Da da da"
As soon as the gunfire rang out, the little Japanese soldier immediately opened his eyes and stared around in fear.
But the gunfire ended within ten minutes.
But as soon as the gunfire rang out, the little Japanese knew that they would not be able to sleep tonight. The Japanese officers also urged the little Japanese soldiers to cheer up and prepare for the night attack of the Chinese army.
Yamazaki, the Japanese captain, was even more aggrieved. He had never encountered such a difficult troop before, and this was a deliberate attempt to reduce their troops to combat effectiveness.
"Your Excellency, Captain, please quickly think of a way. If we continue like this, our soldiers' spirits will collapse without the Chinese army attacking us."
