With Ding Wei taking action, the battle soon came to an end.
Accompanied by a burst of fierce gunfire, a cavalryman came back with good news.
"Report to the captain, all the enemies inside have been killed by our troops!" the cavalry shouted loudly.
"Well done, clean up the battlefield immediately. Kill all the Japs soldiers who are gasping for breath and leave no one alive." Ding Wei ordered.
"Remember, before you leave, take away everything you can. This devil will blow up this cavalry brigade!" Ding Wei said coldly.
After a pause, Ding Wei added: "The two nearby highways will also be blown up. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" the cavalryman took the order and left quickly.
…
358th Regiment Headquarters.
"Regiment, everything is clear. The one passing by us is the 28th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. No, we can't call it the 28th Regiment now." Fang Ligong said.
"What happened?" Chu Yunfei asked in confusion: "What happened to the 28th Regiment?"
Fang Ligong said: "The 28th Regiment has been reorganized, and now it is the temporary 28th Task Force..."
Chu Yunfei was stunned for a while, and then he understood the meaning.
The regiment-level units are restructured into team-level units. There are more twists and turns here, and the number of troops that can be accommodated is also greater...
when did it happen?
Ding Wei has obviously been promoted, even though he is not the leader in name, and is only at the captain level.
But I don't know how many regiment-level combat units this task force can contain.
It has been so long since Ding Wei was reinstated, why is it that Ding Wei was promoted like a rocket?
Chu Yunfa was a little irritable, so he dismissed these distracting thoughts and asked: "Brother Ligong, what did you just say, and what is that army?"
Fang Ligong said: "It's their cavalry company."
"Cavalry company?" Chu Yunfei was dumbfounded.
Fang Ligong added: "That's right, it's the cavalry company."
When Fang Ligong said this, Chu Yunfei suddenly heard that there was indeed a cavalry company in Task Force 28.
It is said that there is also a Ma family inside. The Ma family is a family that raises horses. The military horses they raise are strong and very brave in battle.
Because of this incident, Chu Yunfei was envious of Ding Wei for a while.
Moreover, the size of this cavalry company is so large that even I can't help but look a little sideways. However, due to many reasons, there is only one cavalry company left.
Chu Yunfei regarded this matter as a joke. The army he had worked so hard to build was just gone.
Later, as time passed and the cavalry company rarely went out to fight, Chu Yunfei forgot about this matter.
but now…
Ding Wei has nothing to do, so what is he going to do with his cavalry company?
"Which direction did they go?" Chu Yunfei asked.
"Majia Town, they went to Majia Town." Fang Ligong said.
"Majiazhen?"
Chu Yunfei frowned and thought about this place carefully.
There is a cavalry brigade in Majia Town all year round. Could it be that Ding Wei has some ideas about the cavalry there?
This guy is so brave, a cavalry company wants to take down a Japanese army?
"What's the result? What's the result?" Chu Yunfei suddenly became interested and asked.
"Successful." Fang Ligong sighed: "According to the news from our spies, they stormed into the county town in one go and killed these Japanese cavalry.
All the war horses were captured. It is said that before leaving, they went for a walk on both sides of the road. I don't know what they did.
They were worried that this group of cavalry would find out, so they didn't dare to follow too closely, but their initial estimate is that it should be a bomb or something like that."
"A large group of Japanese cavalry was actually killed by a cavalry company?" Chu Yunfei said in surprise.
"How dare they get the courage to break into the enemy camp with such a small force, but there are two county towns nearby.
If you make a slight mistake, you will be surrounded by enemies!"
Chu Yunfei's face was filled with shock and he repeated: "Where did they get the courage? They actually succeeded and wiped them all out. Could it be that the Japanese in the county didn't react at all?"
"No, they cut off the phone lines first, turning this county into an isolated city." Fang Ligong shook his head.
"They are definitely not acting on a whim. They have been eyeing this county for a long time and want to take advantage of it before the war starts."
"It's amazing, it's really amazing. Even if it's just a cavalry company, I wouldn't have the guts to do it." Chu Yunfei held on to the back of the chair and said in a deep voice.
"It seems that we still underestimate Ding Wei too much. This guy can always win battles, and his head is always at the top of the list of the Japanese army. He is definitely not in vain."
After a pause, Chu Yunfei asked again: "What did you just say? They went to the highways on both sides before leaving and dropped bombs again?"
"Yes, my analysis is that Ding Wei was worried that the Japs had suffered a loss and wanted to take revenge, so he wanted to blow up the road. Even if the Japs wanted to attack aggressively, there was nothing they could do." Fang Ligong said.
"They are such thieves. They had already planned all this. This was a completely prepared battle. I thought they were too scared to go out.
Unexpectedly, they actually secretly planned a military operation. Are they really not afraid that the Japanese will get angry and take revenge?"
Chu Yunfei did not answer the question, but was thinking about what would happen if he was the one to direct it.
If he led a cavalry company or even a cavalry battalion, would he be able to reach Ding Wei's level?
"Tuanzuo, Tuanzuo?" Fang Ligong saw that Chu Yunfei was lost in thought and called him in a low voice.
"Huh?" Chu Yunfei looked at Fang Ligong.
Fang Ligong said: "Tuanzuo, what should we do next?"
"What should I do?" Chu Yunfei didn't react for a moment.
Fang Ligong said: "The little devil has suffered such a big loss, so he might sweep around and take action in advance. We have a stronghold not far from our base.
What if the little devil puts this debt on our shoulders?"
Chu Yunfei sneered and said: "It's ridiculous, wouldn't it be possible for the little devil to let us go without this?"
Fang Ligong immediately lowered his head and remained silent.
"The Japanese have already tested our defense line at Zhongtiao Mountain. What's ridiculous is that those idiots thought they had repelled the enemy!"
Chu Yunfei showed disdain and said angrily: "This group..."
After thinking for a while, Chu Yunfei finally swallowed the word "idiot" back in his stomach.
"What about us?" Fang Ligong said.
Chu Yunfei said: "Be ready to fight at any time. If the little Japs want to attack Task Force 28, they have to pass under our noses. How can I just sit back and watch?"
"Team leader, think twice." Fang Ligong said urgently.
Chu Yunfei said: "Think twice, if the Japanese come to attack us, we still have to retreat. By then, I will really become a joke in Shanxi and even the whole country!"
I, Chu Yunfei, cannot afford to lose this person, nor do I want to lose this person!"
The last time Chu Yunfei was in the Bantian Regiment, he watched the Eighth Route Army perform. Afterwards, he regretted very much that he did not let the artillery battalion fire artillery support.
Even if there was only one shot, he would not blame himself so much. Now Chu Yunfei will never allow this to happen again.
Fang Ligong remained silent.
"Brother Ligong, I made it very clear. The Japanese will not let us go this time." Chu Yunfei snorted coldly: "Remember your little thoughts. I believe you understand the meaning of death."
"I understand your humble position!" Fang Ligong stood up and said.
"Brother Ligong, you should go and rest first, and we will make arrangements for the battle tomorrow." Chu Yunfei said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
Fang Ligong accepted the order and quickly left the regiment headquarters.
After walking out of the regiment headquarters, Fang Ligong breathed a long sigh of relief, and the pressure in his heart disappeared.
What's going on with the group? Why is your temper getting worse and worse?
…
at the same time.
Ding Wei didn't know all this. After cleaning the battlefield, Ding Wei quickly led his troops to leave Majia Town and return to the base area.
The crowd brought back more than 200 strong military horses, as well as matching equipment, and even took back five trucks filled with food and ammunition.
Those Japanese shops were all patronized by Ding Wei, and a lot of anti-Japanese funds were seized from them.
Although the Japanese army horses are rebellious and extremely difficult to tame, all the soldiers of the cavalry company have been trained by Ma San himself.
Under the hands of the soldiers of the cavalry company, these irritable Japanese army horses were like good babies, following the soldiers of the cavalry company very obediently.
Looking at the more than two hundred troops and horses behind them, although the number is not as large as the previous cavalry, it can at least turn the cavalry company into a cavalry brigade.
Now that the army and horses are available, matching cavalry must be trained as soon as possible.
Cavalry can't be trained just by patting the head, you still have to recruit troops outside...
Ding Wei began to look around, wondering where there was a prisoner-of-war camp, wondering if he could go to the prisoner-of-war camp to grab a wave of soldiers, or recruit troops from the surrounding villages.
Another issue is the follow-up revenge of the Japs. With this provocation, the Japs may come out to fight.
Not to mention the problem of the cavalry, those two roads alone were enough to make the Japanese feel distressed for a long time.
Before leaving.
The soldiers of the cavalry company deliberately went for a walk around the two roads near Majia Town and blew up the roads that the Japanese had just built.
And if the Japs in those two counties wanted to march again, they would have to take a long detour.
…
Taiyuan, First Army Headquarters.
Okamura Neji had just sat down on the chair when he saw Yoshio Shinozuka walking in with a gloomy look on his face.
"What kind of bad news is this guy going to bring?" Okamura Neji couldn't help but think in his mind.
Every time Yoshio Shinozuka's shit-eating expression always brings some bad news.
really.
"Your Majesty, General, something happened." Shinozuka Yoshio paused and respectfully handed the message to Okamura Neji.
But Okamura Neji had no intention of taking it and said coldly, "Read it."
"Hai!" Shinozuka Yoshio blushed and said: "Majia Town Cavalry Yu was attacked by an unknown armed force early this morning.
The cavalry brigade in the town was completely wiped out by the enemy, and five military vehicles filled with supplies were lost..."
"Nani, what did you say?" Okamura Neiji couldn't sit still and stood up: "Majia Town was attacked by unknown armed forces. Where are the soldiers and horses? Where are the soldiers and horses!"
"Reporting to Your Excellency, General, all the troops and horses are gone!" Yoshio Shinozuka said solemnly: "If nothing else happens, all the troops and horses should have been taken away by the enemy..."
"Baga, more than two hundred military horses just disappeared. How on earth did you losers defend yourself!" Okamura Neji shouted angrily.
"Majia Town was attacked, why didn't they go to support? Can anyone explain to me why?"
Okamura Neji was so angry that he was shaking all over. He had just woken up and got the bad news. How could his mood be better?
Because everything has been fine recently, Okamura Neji had a rare good sleep yesterday.
I thought I could continue, but now it seems that if I don't completely eliminate the enemies here, it will be difficult for me to get a good night's sleep in the future.
Shinozuka Yoshio carefully took a step back, paused and said: "Reporting to Your Excellency, General, the enemy deliberately cut off the telephone lines in the city before attacking, so..."
"Cut the phone line?" Okamura Neiji said coldly: "Even so, the enemy cannot invade the county so easily.
Even so, our imperial army can rush out on horseback. Can you tell me why the enemy can invade our county so easily?"
"This..." Yoshio Shinozuka was suddenly speechless.
Of course he knew why, but he had to dare to say it. If it was said that the imperial army had poor military discipline, the consequences would be serious.
Yoshio Shinozuka was thinking hard about countermeasures to appease Okamura Neji's emotions.
But Okamura Neji didn't give him any chance to think: "Shinozuka, do you want to admit it yourself, or do you want me to find out by myself!
Don’t think that I don’t know that there is a Japanese-style street in Majia Town, and there are many properties there, which are the private property of your First Army officers!”
"Hai!" Yoshio Shinozuka hurriedly stood up.
This time, he no longer dared to hide it. Since Okamura Neji knew so clearly, there was no point in hiding it.
"The Imperial Army works hard, and occasionally needs to relax..." Shinozuka Yoshio broke out into a fine sweat on his forehead.
The more Okamura Neji thought about it, the angrier he became.
He did not expect that the military discipline of the imperial army had deteriorated to such an extent, and why the quality of his own soldiers was getting worse and worse.
It can even be said that one wave after another is worse, and the imperial army's combat effectiveness actually shows a faint downward trend.
Originally, the imperial army could defeat one to ten, or even one to twenty, but now, it actually began to suffer losses of one to six, one to five, or even one to one.
This was not an ambush by the enemy, but a small-scale conflict, which ended with the defeat of the imperial army.
"Relax, relax, you idiot, don't think I don't know what you are thinking!" Okamura Neji pointed at Shinozuka Yoshio and said angrily.
"The entire Fengqing Street is the property of the officers of your First Army, especially you. Although you don't have it, you protect them!"
Okamura Neiji looked at Shinozuka Yoshio coldly: "If you hadn't been indulging them, how could the military discipline of the First Army be so bad!"
"Hai!" Yoshio Shinozuka paused hurriedly.
This Fengqing Street is indeed managed by him.
It was originally intended to serve Japanese expatriates, allowing them to see their hometown even in a foreign land.
But he was very smart. He didn't have any properties in his name, so he sold all these profitable properties to his subordinates at different prices.
Majia Town is just one of these custom streets. Almost every larger county or town will have a custom street of the same scale.
As for how he will make money in the future, it is very simple. The owner of each property will give 20% of the monthly profit to Yoshio Shinozuka.
This kind of profit sharing is much more than just opening a store, and it is not just one, but dozens or dozens, and it will also be very safe.
The profits here can be imagined.
Many people also imitated Yoshio Shinozuka and rented out their properties.
The quality of the soldiers at the back has seriously declined, and military discipline has become worse and worse. Basically, they were dragged here without much training.
In order to make money, naturally he would do anything, but Shinozuka Yoshio would turn a blind eye and would not care if it was not excessive.
"Yoshio Shinozuka."
"Hai!" Yoshio Shinozuka responded hurriedly.
Okamura Neiji said coldly: "This is your last chance. If you don't make any achievements again, just find a way to apologize by yourself!"
