Predator Reborn

Chapter 200 The victory of the anti-mopping up

Since the Third Company had received Wang Nanhu's order in advance to specifically attack the Japs' logistical supplies. The hundreds of civilians lost in time could not be rescued, and all the ammunition we had lost in the past few days had to be replenished. Therefore, watching the Japanese troops move from

Although the soldiers were gritting their teeth in hatred as they passed by him, none of them exposed their target due to impulsiveness. Finally, the car of the baggage team walking at the end of the Japanese brigade appeared in everyone's sight.

They saw the first car full of supplies from the Japanese baggage squad slowly approaching their position. The soldiers slowly loaded their guns and aimed at the baggage soldiers next to the Japanese car. A "Fire..." was heard on the ground.

In the ears of every soldier in the trenches. So the soldiers who had been holding back their desire to "revenge..." for the common people pulled the triggers one after another and fired the bullets in the barrels at the targets they had aimed at for a long time.

Suddenly, bullets were flying around the heavy truck of the Japanese First Convoy, and the whole car was hit with sparks. The driver of the car was directly hit in the head by several sharpshooters, and the car crookedly hit the hillside on the roadside. As for the few people beside the car,

A Japanese soldier was knocked to the ground by flying bullets at the very beginning of the battle.

Just when the Japanese baggage force fell into the dilemma of being cut off by the third company, the third battalion, which had been following the Japanese baggage team, also began to attack. Two companies directly outflanked the Japanese army from both wings, and one company directly attacked from behind the Japanese army. Suddenly,

The entire Japanese army's baggage troops were surrounded on all sides. The soldiers shouted, ignoring the flying bullets, and rushed towards the Japanese positions on the road with their bayonets drawn.

"Your Excellency, Captain, something has happened. The baggage troops are surrounded by eight people. We are asking for reinforcements..." the chief of staff hurried to the captain and said.

"Baga, is it the county town that is besieged by the Eighth Route Army or the baggage squad that is more important? Order the troops to abandon all their baggage and move forward quickly. They must rush back to the county town before the Chinese army captures the county town." The captain ignored the surprised chief of staff and led

The troops continued on their way.

However, this order was still a step too late. When the communications soldier rushed to the last baggage team with the order, the entire baggage team had been submerged in the sea of ​​​​people of the third battalion. The remaining dozens of soldiers were fighting with hundreds of soldiers.

The Chinese troops fought with their bayonets. In less than a few minutes, dozens of Japanese troops disappeared into the crowd, and the entire baggage squad disappeared.

The loss of the baggage team did not affect the march of the Japanese army. When Wang Nanhu led the third battalion to clean the battlefield, the Japanese army captain had already led the main force to run far away, and wanted to catch up. Unless he chased all the way to the county seat

.

"Order the troops to transport all the seized materials and ammunition back to the base area. Chief of Staff, please send electricity to the political commissar. The main force of the Japanese army still has two hours to rush back to the county seat. Immediately organize the troops to disperse and retreat and concentrate on the base area." Wang Nanhu shouted.

commanded.

After hearing the order, the soldiers were unwilling and wanted to continue the pursuit. However, the soldiers regarded it as their bounden duty to obey orders, and they all carried out the order well and began to carry supplies and the bodies of their comrades...

The political commissar led the Fifth Regiment, supported by fierce artillery fire, and once invaded the county. Now half of the entire county has been occupied by the soldiers of the Fifth Regiment, and the remaining less than half of the Japanese army is threatening dozens of die-hard traitors from the special agent team.

They are holding on to the fortified compound. Because the compound has always been the headquarters of the Japanese army, it is very strong, and there are rare strong fortresses built inside. For these fortresses that are constantly firing bullets, two mortars

The company's light mortars had no effect at all. The soldiers only relied on strong attacks one after another, slowly weakening the defenders' strength.

"Political commissar, brigade commander's telegram..." The correspondent ran up to the political commissar Chen Revolutionary with a telegram and saluted.

"Commander Wang, leave one company of troops to launch constant feint attacks against the Japs. The remaining troops will immediately prepare to retreat with the materials and ammunition we seized from the Japs warehouse in the city." After reading the telegram, the political commissar ordered.

"Political Commissar, give me half an hour, and I will definitely capture the Japanese stronghold. Give me half an hour, just half an hour." Commander Wang Benqing said with a face full of unwillingness.

"No, the Japanese reinforcements are coming in two hours. Do you want to lead your troops to become the Japanese army's thorn in the urn? Didn't we occupy the Japanese supply warehouse? The food in there is enough to make up for our losses. Come on.

, you go organize the troops to transport supplies and move to the mountains to the west outside the city. Execute the order immediately." Chen Gegeru ignored Wang Benqing and ordered resolutely.

"yes…"

"First company commander, you lead your company to launch feint attacks against the Japanese army, and retreat on time in half an hour. Everyone else, follow me, we have to empty the Japanese supply warehouses." Wang Benqing said to the surrounding battalion and company commanders.

He gave a loud order and led the main force towards the Japanese supply warehouse.

Two hours later, the soldiers had already withdrawn from the county town with hundreds of thousands of kilograms of captured grain. Even the company behind them collected a large number of firecrackers, lit them outside the Japanese stronghold, and then retreated quietly.

The Japanese captain and the exhausted main force finally felt the outskirts of the county. At this time, the county seemed so peaceful, with broken city walls, corpses of the imperial army, city gates filled with smoke, and burning houses... everywhere.

There had just been a big battle here.

"Baga..." Seeing that the county town he worked so hard to manage was turned into ruins in a few hours, the captain couldn't help but cursed. "Order the mountain artillery squadron and mortar squadron to build positions immediately.

Prepare to bombard the Eighth Route Army in the city." In the seriousness of the captain, the quiet county in front of him must be that the Eighth Route Army has occupied the entire county and is waiting for him to take the bait...

"Reporting to the captain, your Excellency, the artillery has been prepared..." The two artillery squadron captains ran to the captain and said.

"Yo Xi, order the artillery to prepare for bombardment. The target is the city wall of Fuping County..."

"Wait a moment, Your Excellency Captain." The chief of staff next to him suddenly interrupted the captain's order. The captain looked at the chief of staff next to him with an unhappy face.

"Your Excellency Captain, look..." As he said that, the chief of staff pointed to the city tower not far away, and saw a white flag suddenly raised on the city tower. After a while, a Chinese man holding a white flag ran out.

The captain picked up the telescope, and what came out was the captain of the county's special agent squadron.

"Taijun, Taijun, don't shoot. I am the squadron leader of the special agent squadron. Don't shoot..." The shouts of the spy squadron leader were heard in the distance.

"Let him come here..." Seeing that the squadron leader was unarmed, the captain ordered to the guards around him. Soon, the squadron leader Wang Degui, whose face was full of smoke and tired, and whose arms were bandaged, was captured by the guards.

Brought to the captain.

"Your Excellency, Captain, you have to make the decision for me. Those Eighth Route Army are so ruthless. Only a dozen of my brothers are still alive. The squadron leader guarding the city was also hit by the Eighth Route Army's artillery. Now the entire Fuping County is only

Huang Jun, who has less than 20 people left... If I hadn't led the remaining dozens of people to stick to the headquarters, the county seat would have been occupied by the Eighth Route Army... Captain... you have to avenge my brothers.

Ah..." Seeing the captain in front of him, Wang Degui immediately knelt on the ground and said with runny nose and tears.

"Wang Sang, stand up and answer. Tell me quickly, what is the current situation in the city?" Seeing the injured squadron leader of the special agent team, the captain felt disgusted, but he saw that he was injured after all in order to fight the Japanese Imperial Army, and

The several hundred people of the special agent team under him had been completely lost. The captain still hurriedly comforted him.

"I am reporting to you, Captain, that after the Eighth Route Army entered the city, I took the rest of my brothers to hold on to the headquarters. However, the supply warehouse in the city was occupied by the Eighth Route Army, and all the hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain inside were emptied by the Eighth Route Army.

Already." Seeing that the battalion commander helped him up personally, the squadron leader said excitedly.

"Nani, Baga... where is the Eighth Route Army now?" After listening to the squadron leader's words, the captain couldn't help but feel annoyed again. After all, those grains were his combat supplies for nearly half a year, and now they all fell into the hands of the Eighth Route Army. This is not support.

Are tigers in danger?

"Your Excellency, Captain, the Eighth Route Army has withdrawn from the county half an hour ago, and seems to have penetrated into the mountains to the west." Seeing the captain who suddenly became furious, Wang Degui quickly replied.

"Baga, Chief of Staff, I order you to take two reinforced squadrons and go into the mountains immediately. You must recover the food stolen by the Eighth Route Army. We cannot raise tigers to cause trouble..." the captain ordered quickly.

"But, Your Excellency, Captain, the soldiers are very tired now, and the mountain is nearly a hundred miles in radius. The Eighth Route Army has been entering for half an hour. After we enter..." The chief of staff did not continue, waiting for the captain's order.

.

"Well, you have a point. Once our excellent imperial army enters the mountains, we will not be able to take advantage of our firepower, and those Tuba Road can completely use their guerrilla warfare to wear us down and eventually eliminate us..." The captain pondered.

Said after a while.

"Hi, Captain Yingming. After our elite imperial army rests for a few days and recharges its batteries, we will rush into the Eighth Route Army's base and snatch back food..." the Chief of Staff said quickly after hearing what the Captain said.

"Yo Xi, go to the city now..."

In this way, the Japanese raids on Xiazhuang Township ended in failure. At this time, Xiazhuang Township was in a state of sadness. Except for more than a hundred ordinary people who had been safely transferred to Xiazhuang Township, almost all the remaining villagers were massacred by the Japanese.

Almost half of the families in the entire village were massacred by the Japs, and no one was left. The remaining families were dozens of ordinary people who also wore filial piety in every household. The whole village was full of ordinary people wearing sackcloth and wearing filial piety, and the cries were endless.

.

"Brigade Commander, this incident of the Japs massacre of villages has had a great impact on the base area. Many people don't trust us very much. They said that this kind of thing had never happened before we came, but as soon as we came, the Japs massacred the villages.

Many people are deliberately avoiding us." The political commissar next to him said when he saw the desolate Xiazhuang Township.

"Has this situation been reported to the division headquarters? Has there been any response from the division headquarters?" Wang Nanhu also had a headache about this matter, and finally thought of the division commander who was far away in Shanxi Province.

"Brigade commander, brigade commander, division headquarters is calling." The chief of staff hurried over.

"I am deeply saddened to learn that the people of Xiazhuang Township were massacred by the Japanese army. Your department has seized a large amount of military rations during this anti-encirclement and suppression campaign. The food can be used to compensate families who have lost their loved ones to ease their grief. In addition, the Japanese army has lost military rations.

In the future, you will definitely go to the countryside to grab food. You can take advantage of the fact that the Japanese army went to the countryside to grab food and help the people regain the food that the Japanese army took away, thereby regaining the lost popular support..."

"High, really high. The division commander has really thought far ahead. Political Commissar, we will immediately follow the instructions given by the division commander." After reading the draft of the telegram from division commander Liu Hua, Wang Nanhu's frown relaxed.
