The Uehara Squadron, the only one in the Nara Regiment that remained organic, secretly returned to Kamito Ridge.
Yosuke Uehara led his soldiers towards
I saw corpses scattered all over the ground near Shentou Ridge. The Japanese soldiers were stripped naked one by one, leaving only pieces of urine and mustard seeds all over their bodies.
Looking at the tragic situation in front of him, Uehara Yosuke took a deep breath and felt his scalp numb.
"Sir, judging from the wounds on the corpses, only a small number of soldiers had wounds caused by bullets. Most of them were injured by grenades and bayonets. Judging from the current situation of the battlefield, the Eighth Route Army was ambushing on both sides of the ridge. They first caused casualties with grenades.
Then a hand-to-hand battle began!" the adjutant on the side judged.
Yosuke Uehara stood up, his face gloomy and terrifying. Although he was at odds with the captain Nara Masahiko, it did not mean that he wanted to kill others.
Nowadays, in the entire Nara Regiment, only the soldiers of his squadron are alive, and the rest have died in the battle. Uehara Yosuke really can't think of any reason to explain all this.
As the vanguard, the Uehara Squadron's duty is to detect whether there is an Eighth Route Army ambush along the way.
"Sir, the body of the commander has been found!"
After hearing this, Uehara Yosuke hurried forward and saw Nara Masahiko's body lying on the ground, with bullet holes all over his body and a ferocious look on his face.
At this time, Uehara Yosuke seemed to see his former comrades surrounding him one by one, asking for their lives.
He couldn't help but shuddered, and then said: "The wooden bridge leading to Li City has been burned down, evacuate to Lucheng immediately!"
"Sir, what should we do with the bodies of the warriors?" the adjutant asked.
"It's already dark. If you stay here, you may be discovered by the Eighth Route Army. The body of the regiment leader will be taken away. The bodies of the remaining warriors will be processed after dawn tomorrow!" Yosuke Uehara said anxiously.
"Hi!"
Immediately, Uehara Squadron hurriedly withdrew towards Lucheng.
The words are divided into two parts.
Zhou Weihan's independent detachment is still resting in Ci County.
After the ambush at Shentou Ridge, Li Daben sent a telegram reporting the results of the battle.
"Li Yun really exceeded my expectations this time. He actually achieved such a brilliant record, which is no worse than our independent detachment!" Zhao Gang couldn't help but praise after reading the telegram.
"Old Zhao, you can say this behind your back, but don't praise Li Yunlong in front of him. If Li Yunlong doesn't praise him, something will happen if he praises him!" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.
"Now our independent detachment and the 386th Brigade have achieved great results and inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army. I am afraid that the Japanese army will not be able to retaliate in a short time. Our troops have suffered heavy casualties in successive battles and the soldiers are also very tired. I think we can withdraw our troops.
!" Zhao Gang suggested.
Zhou Weihan nodded after hearing this and said: "Report to the headquarters and retreat early tomorrow morning!"
Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
The second phase of the Hundred Regiments War is in full swing.
The headquarters received constant telegrams every day. The boss was holding a telegram with a smile on his face and exclaimed: "Li Yunlong really impressed me. I originally thought that Li Yunlong was a brave general at most, but I didn't expect this."
This time, they actually set up an ambush at Shentou Ridge again and annihilated more than 2,400 Japanese troops, which was even better than the results in 1938!"
In the summary of the battle situation reported by the brigade commander, he did not take credit for himself, but instead highlighted Li Yunlong's role, so that the boss was amazed again and again.
Li Yunlong never imagined that he would get credit for his disobedience on the battlefield.
This is undoubtedly an outstanding military achievement and a significant addition to the Eighth Route Army's merit book. When he is awarded the title in the future, if nothing unexpected happens, Li Yunlong will have another star on his shoulders.
"Although Li Yunlong usually seems careless and occasionally breaks discipline, he is actually a comrade who is both coarse and fine, and is good at thinking. He is also good at taking the wrong approach and is bold and courageous. If you compare it to an ordinary commander, he is probably
Don't dare to set up an ambush at Shentou Ridge again!" The deputy chief of staff also praised at this time.
"From this it seems that we need to change our understanding of certain comrades, and we cannot beat them to death with a stick. Just as Marx's dialectics said, things always develop and change, and so do people!" the deputy chief of staff said.
Said with emotion.
The boss nodded and then said: "I think the Hundred Regiment War is almost over. The first decisive column around Linfen, the 386th Brigade in the Taiyue Military Region, the third decisive column, and the independent detachment in Tainan, the main force can be withdrawn for rest.
, leaving some small forces to attract the attention of the Japanese army, the Yuliao Campaign organized by the main force of the 129th Division led by Commander Liu and Political Commissar Deng, the Lailing Battle organized by Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei in Laiyuan, and Lingqiu were delayed for a period of time!"
The boss said slowly.
"It's time to give it up when it's good. The next step is to prepare for the Japanese army's retaliatory raids. The Japanese army suffered a huge loss and will never give up like this!" the deputy chief of staff analyzed.
That night.
Zhou Weihan's independent detachment received a telegram from the Eighth Route Army headquarters.
The telegram stated the headquarters' order for all units that had ended the battle to withdraw.
Nowadays, the only independent detachment fighting alone outside is Wu Qin's third regiment, which is located in Feixiang and Guangping in southern Hebei.
"Telegraph operator, send a message to the third regiment immediately to inquire about its location and battle situation!"
"yes!"
A famous name in southern Hebei Province.
After Wu Qin's Third Regiment wiped out the Japanese reinforcements from Feixiang, Kang Yongtu's New Ninth Regiment took advantage of the situation and captured Feixiang County.
From then on, the two regiments reunited and ambushed the Japanese reinforcements from Quang Binh again.
For a time, the two regiments were unstoppable near several counties in southern Hebei. The Japanese army could only defend the isolated city, so they followed the road from Handan to Daming and hit Daming, an important town in southern Hebei.
Inside the Third Regiment Headquarters.
Wu Qin and political commissar Wang Lin sat face to face.
"The detachment leader asked about the location and battle situation of our unit!" Political Commissar Wang Lin handed the telegram to Wu Qin.
"Just report it truthfully. Is there anything you can hide?" Wu Qin asked.
"Who said I had to hide, but the order given to our Third Regiment by our superiors was to block the reinforcements from Jinan. As a result, we fought all the way to Daimyo. This..." Wang Lin said hesitantly.
"Hey, what do I think this is? Don't worry, I have been with the detachment leader for many years. I know his temperament very well. He is not the kind of rigid person. He has always delegated power to his subordinates and let you do whatever you want.
What's wrong with your name? Our third regiment has overfulfilled the task. Look, you have to praise us!" Wu Qin said with a smile.
"Send a telegram to the detachment leader immediately to report the results!"
After contacting both parties.
"This Wu Qin always gives me some little surprises, and all three regiments have achieved great fame!" Zhou Weihan said with emotion.
"With only a third regiment, you dare to go deep alone and go straight to the Japanese army's stronghold?" Zhao Gang said in surprise.
"There is also Kang Yongtu's New Ninth Regiment. This time the New Ninth Regiment is also proud and proud. Taking advantage of our attack on Handan City, we successfully captured Feixiang County. The New Ninth Regiment can straighten its back!"
