Not long after they left, three deafening explosions were heard from the Huzhuang stronghold, and the Huzhuang stronghold was instantly enveloped in a ball of fire.
In an instant, rubble flew across the Huzhuang stronghold, and in an instant it was reduced to ruins by explosive charges.
Sunjia Village.
When two sentries at the entrance of the village saw a Japanese truck approaching them, they thought it was an enemy attack and immediately sent the message to the troops in the village.
The atmosphere in Sunjia Village suddenly became tense, and the entire regiment set up an ambush outside Sunjia Village and prepared for battle.
When the ambushes at the entrance of the village looked at the truck on the road, they suddenly felt a little strange. There were hundreds of soldiers in the same clothes as them following the truck.
What's going on?
The ambushes at the entrance of the village were full of questions, but in order to find out the identity of the visitor, they did not choose to shoot rashly.
As the truck got closer, they gradually saw who was behind the wheel.
"Captain Ding! Commander Ding and the others are back!"
One of the soldiers with good eyes shouted excitedly, and immediately jumped up, waving and shouting.
News of Ding Wei's return quickly spread throughout the 28th Regiment.
Hundreds of soldiers, led by the cadres of each battalion, stood up and gathered at the entrance of the village to await the arrival of Ding Wei and others.
Ding Wei braked and stopped the truck at the entrance of the village, and jumped out of the truck very gracefully.
The soldiers immediately gathered around excitedly and looked at the trucks behind Ding Wei. They were so surprised that they were speechless for a long time.
"Why are you still standing there stupidly? Come into the village with me!" Ding Wei raised his thumb, pointed at the truck behind him, and said with a smile.
"The Huzhuang stronghold has been reduced to ruins. Today I will improve the food for everyone!"
The soldiers suddenly burst into cheers.
The Huzhuang stronghold has long been a thorn in the side of the 28th Regiment. Now that they learned that the Huzhuang stronghold no longer existed, they were naturally very excited.
Ding Weixuan immediately drove the truck to the 28th Regiment warehouse.
Soldiers from the 28th Regiment gathered on both sides of the car, looking excitedly at the truck next to them.
This was their first time to seize such a rare thing, and they kept asking Ma Han how they captured the Huzhuang stronghold.
Mahan was full of pride and told them without reservation.
When the soldiers who had not participated in the war listened to Mahan's words, they all suddenly felt yearned for it.
Especially when I heard that the 2nd Battalion used light and heavy machine guns to shoot down the little Japs and those two Japs, beating them to pieces like grandsons, I felt even more envious.
They all secretly made up their minds to strengthen their training and enhance their combat effectiveness.
The entrance of the 28th Regiment Warehouse.
After Ding Wei parked the car, he arranged for the soldiers to load the supplies into the warehouse.
Seeing the three carts full of supplies, the soldiers burst into tears of excitement.
It had been a long time since they had tasted the taste of victory, let alone captured supplies. Surviving the battle would be a blessing.
Ding Wei turned to Wang Chao and said: "Xiao Wang, tell the cooking team immediately and ask them to use the pork and flour we captured to make a meal of thin-skinned and large-filled pork dumplings!"
After all, as the saying goes, nothing is more delicious than dumplings...
Upon hearing the pork dumplings, many soldiers began to salivate in their mouths and cheered.
…
Meng County Japanese garrison headquarters.
The Huzhuang stronghold is under the jurisdiction of Meng County.
According to the regulations of each Japanese military stronghold, they will send a telegram to the superior headquarters every two hours to report the safety of the stronghold.
But now, a full two and a half hours have passed since the last time the Huzhuang stronghold sent a message.
Captain Iwata Kamezo, captain of the Mengxian garrison squadron of the Japanese army, never received the message from the Huzhuang stronghold.
In the past, the error was only a minute or two, but now the garrison in the Huzhuang stronghold has been half an hour late without sending a message, and their phone calls have been unreachable.
Kamezo Iwata sensed something was wrong and immediately sent a team to the Huzhuang stronghold to investigate the situation.
Two hours later.
"Your Excellency, Squadron Leader! The situation at the Huzhuang stronghold has been identified!" The Japanese second lieutenant walked into the office with a solemn face.
"Read it!" Iwata Kamezo said in a deep voice.
"Hai!" The Japanese second lieutenant's face tightened, and he paused and said: "The Huzhuang stronghold was attacked by the enemy. The stronghold was destroyed by the enemy with explosives. All the garrison troops were killed, and the equipment and materials in the stronghold were looted!"
"Nani? What did you say! The Huzhuang stronghold was destroyed?" Iwata Kamezo suddenly stood up from his chair and asked in disbelief: "All the troops stationed in the stronghold were killed?"
"Hai! Sir!" the Japanese second lieutenant paused: "According to our preliminary survey, the enemy should first attract the garrison from the stronghold, and then they sneaked into the stronghold and robbed the machine guns in the stronghold!"
"Baga!" Kame Iwata yelled angrily: "Who is so bold that he dares to blow up the Imperial Army's stronghold?"
"Based on the direction in which the ruts disappeared on the ground, the troops attacking the Huzhuang stronghold should be the 28th Regiment of the Third Army Division of the Eighth Route Army!" The Japanese second lieutenant replied: "Judging from the map, there is only such an organized Eighth Route Army nearby.
Ability to attack strongholds."
"Huh? The 28th Regiment?" Kamezo Iwata frowned, carefully searching for memories about the 28th Regiment.
"The 28th regiment you are talking about is not the useless regiment that attacked the Huzhuang stronghold six times, only to be defeated by the imperial army every time, right?" Kamezo Iwata finally remembered and asked tentatively.
"Hai! Sir!" the Japanese second lieutenant paused.
"Baga!" Iwata Kamezo was furious and slammed the table: "The majestic Imperial Army was defeated by a group of rabble! This is simply a shame for the Imperial Army!
Ten members of the 28th Regiment can't even get together a gun, and they don't even have machine guns or artillery support. The imperial army has defeated them several times, and the Huzhuang stronghold will be destroyed by a group of trash! This is simply unimaginable!"
Iwata Kamezo gasped in anger, immediately left his seat, stared at the map in front of him with an angry face, and quickly located the location of Sunjia Village.
"Immediately order the county garrison to assemble urgently and head to the vicinity of Sunjia Village to eliminate this group of Tuba Road! Wash away the shame of the destruction of the Huzhuang stronghold!" Iwata Kamesan said with a ferocious face, almost squeezing this sentence through his teeth.
"Hai!" the Japanese second lieutenant paused and said.
"etc!"
Just as the Japanese second lieutenant was about to go out, Iwata Kamezo called out to him: "Tuba Road of the 28th Regiment has just captured a batch of supplies. This kind of waste regiment will definitely celebrate in the evening.
Order the warriors to ambush outside Sunjia Village and wait until they are all sleeping at night, then give them a fatal blow! Never give them any chance to counterattack!"
"Hai!" The Japanese second lieutenant was convinced. He stood up, nodded, and immediately ran away.
…
Sunjia Village.
night.
On the table of the soldiers of the 28th Regiment, in addition to pork dumplings, there were canned beef, a hodgepodge of vegetables, and even a small cup of Hengshui Laobaigan on the table.
This was a rare and common meal in later generations, but it was a rare and valuable delicacy in this era of scarcity.
