On the other side, Li Jin had already taken the captured materials all the way around Xiangyang and came to a dense forest to rest.
"Battalion Commander, we have gained a lot this time. We have seized more than 700 rifles, nearly 40 light and heavy machine guns in total, and many mortars and grenades. , not to mention ammunition." Liu Changshun came to Li Jin and reported the general results.
If they had seized so many things before, they would have been excited for a long time. But now, they don’t have much reaction to it because they have seen too much.
"Well, it's okay. Bring the light and heavy machine guns and mortar grenades. As for the rifle, forget about it. Find a place to hide the rifle and take the gun away when we come back." Li Jin nodded and said what he wanted to take away.
They don’t need too many rifles now, and carrying them would be a drag, so it’s better to keep them.
Even heavy machine guns do not need to be carried too much. After all, the Japanese heavy machine guns are too heavy. Even if they are dismantled, two people will be needed to carry them, which is a bit of a waste of human resources.
If it weren’t for the captured light machine gun, which had many crutches, Li Jin would not have wanted to carry it.
"Understood, I will send people to find the cave." Liu Changshun nodded and immediately took the people away in person.
"Battal Commander, we annihilated six to seven hundred Japs this time. The Japs commander in Xiangyang is probably going to panic." Second Company Commander Zhao Ming said with a smile.
In one night, there were so many casualties. It would be strange if the Japs captain did not panic. The key is that none of those Japs soldiers survived and none of them escaped. This pair of Japs captains Said the problem is more serious.
"Panic is for sure, but the Japanese are most likely thinking of what we did in Shanxi before." Li Jin responded.
Their behavior is almost exactly the same as the tactics they used to deal with the Japs in Shanxi. It is impossible for the Japs team leader to not think of this and think that the troops trained by the Jinsui Army came here. Coming.
"That means we are asking the Jinsui Army to carry a big pot again?!" After hearing this, Zhao Ming reacted and smiled even happier.
The Jinsui Army has been targeted by the Japanese for more than two months because of them, and now they are taking the blame again.
It is true that when a person is sitting at home, the pot comes from the sky.
"Well, you can say that." Li Jin nodded, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up. He suddenly felt that he was going a little too far.
How come the Jinsui Army always takes the blame?
"Battal Commander, if the Japanese are sure that we are here, they won't directly send a large force to encircle and suppress us, right?!" Zhao Ming said.
What they did probably pissed off the Japanese. Now that they know they are here, they are not allowed to send troops directly.
"The possibility of sending troops is still very high, but they will also be cautious. After all, we wiped out the Japanese one by one in one go.The Japs have not forgotten what happened with the brigade,
So, the Japs will probably be more cautious, wondering if I will try my old tricks again and want to do it again. "Li Jin analyzed.
Unless the Japanese commander here doesn't take him seriously, or is stupid enough to send people over.
But this is unlikely. , because they have learned from the past.
"Will the Japs here in Xiangyang gather their troops and return to Xiangyang, and not dare to let people guard the checkpoints and bunkers? ! " Zhao Ming asked.
Since the Japanese are so cautious, it is possible to abandon defensive checkpoints and bunkers in order to deal with them.
"This cannot be ruled out, Xiangyang's command The probability of the official doing this is extremely high. "Li Jin also agreed. Now we will wait for the scouts to come back to know what the situation is in Xiangyang.
If the Japs in Xiangyang want to gather their troops, they will take action today, so they only need to slowly Just wait.
At around one o'clock in the afternoon, the scouts came back and reported to Li Jin immediately.
"Battalion Commander, the Japanese checkpoints and bunkers are now. It was basically empty, not even a human being could be seen. "
"Well, it looks like it's almost as expected. The Japanese have indeed gathered their troops. "Li Jin nodded.
"Batalion Commander, what should we do next? ! " Zhao Ming asked.
The Japs have gathered their forces in Xiangyang. They are thinking of taking action against the Japs, but that is impossible.
They can't attack Xiangyang, right?! You know, there are nearly three thousand Japanese soldiers in Xiangyang now. It would be crazy to go to attack Xiangyang.
“Let’s continue on our way and see if the Japanese soldiers in the next city will also gather their troops. Well, if they don't gather their troops, then we'll take action against them. Otherwise, we won't continue to cause trouble and go directly to meet up with Commander Han and the others. "Li Jin replied.
If there is no chance to take action against the Japanese, then don't take action and just go on your way.
"Understood. "Zhao Ming nodded.
At this time, Liu Changshun came back with his people.
" Battalion Commander, I found a place, a very hidden cave, just right for placing firearms. "Liu Changshun was sweating profusely. He went into the mountains to search for a long time and finally found a cave.
"Well, then take someone to put the gun away. "Li Jin ordered.
Put away the guns, and they will be able to get on their way after resting until night.
………
At the same time , the Japs commander Shang Jiuyifu in Xiangyang also called the commander in the next city, Jingmen.
"Hey, Shang Jiujun, why are you free to call me? ! "Japanese commander Tanaka Dashu asked.
"Tanaka-kun, I am conveying the order of the brigade commander. He wants you to gather your troops immediately and move the county seat near Jingmen, as well as checkpoints and bunkers. The soldiers gathered around Jingmen. "Shangjiu YifuSaid slowly.
Because the brigade leader was worried that once the enemy felt that nothing could be done in Xiangyang, they would probably go to Jingmen.
If the soldiers on the Jingmen side were not prepared, they might suffer serious casualties again.
"Nani?! Why do you want me to gather my troops so well?! What about the occupied county?!" Tanaka Daiki was shocked.
He was puzzled by this order, so he wanted to ask what was going on.
"Just let the Imperial Alliance Army defend the occupied county." Kagiri Kazuo responded.
"It's okay to let the Imperial Association Army defend it, but you have to tell me what happened?!" Tanaka Daiki asked.
He must at least know the reason why he gathered his troops.
"A unit of the Jinsui Army came here. Just last night, Xiaoluo City was captured by that unit.
There are also bunkers at nearby checkpoints All the soldiers were smashed, a total of 723 soldiers were smashed, do you understand now!" Kamikyu had no choice but to tell Tanaka Daiki what happened on his side.
To be honest, he really didn’t want to say that he had destroyed so many soldiers in one night.
"Baga! You mean this unit is the unit secretly trained by the Jinsui Army?!" Tanaka Dashu was shocked.
He also knew what happened in Shanxi in two months. More than 20,000 soldiers were all broken into pieces, and the cause of this war was the secret force trained by the Jinsui Army.
The key is that that unit was still in the mountains and annihilated one of their reinforced brigade, more than 12,000 soldiers, all of which were shattered in the mountains.
When Tanaka Daiki heard about this achievement, he thought it was a lie, but it was indeed true.
"Yes, I am basically certain that it is this unit, because the opponent's combat effectiveness and combat operations are basically the same as the secret unit of the Jinsui Army." Shangjiu Yifu He said firmly.
In addition to this army, he could not imagine any other army that could have such combat effectiveness and firepower.
"How can it be repaired? I didn't expect this army to actually come here. Please wait a moment. I will issue an order first and call you back later." Tanaka Daiki quickly hung up the phone. , and then began to give orders to others in a hurry.
After the order was given, Tanaka Daiki called Kamikyu Kazuo.
"Have you finished giving the order?!" Shangjiu Yifu asked.
"After the attack, all my subordinates asked me why. I was too lazy to explain and asked them to carry out the order." Tanaka Daiki felt a headache when he thought of the questioning looks of his subordinates.
"It's normal, you don't want to ask more questions." Shangjiu Yifu could understand the mood of those officers asking questions.
After all, you have been staying well, but suddenly you have to gather your troops and leave the occupied county. What if you don’t know?When the national army came over, they were so scared that they couldn't even defend the city.
"Shang Jiujun, you said that this army suddenly came here, is it possible that they are planning to repeat the operation in Shanxi again?! In other words, is it possible that the Jinsui Army sent a force? The troops are coming!" Tanaka Dashu asked.
It’s not surprising that he had this idea. After all, the brigade that entered the mountains and was annihilated probably was annihilated in this way.
"The Jinsui Army is being targeted, and there is a high probability that it will not be able to send a large force, so there is no need to worry so much." Shangjiu Yifu analyzed.
The Jinsui Army is still being targeted by the empire. How could they dare to mobilize large forces? Moreover, they have to come so far without being discovered. How is this possible? They really treat their intelligence personnel as Are you an idiot? You can't find anything.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the Jinsui Army to send a large force here.
"In other words, the number of people in this army that came over is actually not large, and there is no one behind to support it?!" Tanaka Daiki suddenly had other thoughts.
"So to speak, what do you want to do?!" Kamikyu Kazuo heard the implication of Tanaka Daiki's words.
"Since they don't have a large force behind them, can't we seize the opportunity and eliminate this force to avoid future troubles!" Tanaka Daiki said his plan.
If they can eliminate this army, it will definitely be a great achievement. After all, the empire has killed more than 20,000 soldiers because of this army.
Under such circumstances, they annihilated this unit. It is estimated that even the division commander would praise them for their prowess.
"I think it's a bit too risky. The commander of this unit is really not simple. I'm worried about an accident." Kamikyu Kazuo hesitated.
It would be best if the opponent can be annihilated, but what if it cannot be annihilated? ! Why did they suffer heavy casualties as a result? ! By then, wouldn't it be a big trouble?
"What surprise could there be?! Anyway, the number of this unit is estimated to be only six to seven hundred.
Our two regiments, with nearly 8,000 soldiers, can we still Can this small force be killed?
How is this possible, Lord Shangjiu, this is a rare opportunity!" Tanaka Daiki continued to encourage.
If he had to do it on his own, he was really unsure, but if he added Jiu Yifu's team, he would be more confident.
"Tanaka-kun, have you forgotten that this army may only have a few hundred people now, but behind the scenes there may be an army of several thousand people,
I remember that this army, with a few thousand troops, caused great trouble to the soldiers in several districts. "Shangjiu Yifu was still a little timid.
"Shangjiujun, I know this, that's why I said let's act together. Even if there are thousands of people behind them, so what. As long as it's not tens of thousands, it's not a big deal at all." Tanaka Dashu continued to persuade.
"No, no, I can't make a decision on this matter. You should talk to the brigade commander. If you can convince the brigade commander, I will act with you. Otherwise, let's forget it." He shook his head and continued to decline.
"Oh, okay, okay, I will convince the brigade commander." Upon seeing this, Tanaka Daiki hung up the phone, and he could only choose to persuade the brigade commander.
He is still confident about this.
Their brigade commander still wants to save face. He just needs to provoke him and tell the brigade commander that as soon as we heard that the troops were coming, we hurriedly gathered our troops. If this spread, it would be embarrassing. .
A brigade consisting of seven or eight thousand elite soldiers from the empire was actually frightened by a small force of several hundred people. They even gave up on occupying the county seat and had to gather their forces to deal with several attacks. Hundreds of people, how could they have the face to meet people if word spread.
As long as the general is motivated like this, the brigade commander will definitely agree.
The fact is just as Tanaka Daiki said. After hearing what he said, the brigade commander decisively agreed to take action against this unit, and the brigade commander also applied to the division commander. .
After receiving the answer from the brigade leader, Daiki Tanaka immediately called Kuichifu to inform him of the matter.
"Nani?! Did the brigade commander really agree to take action against this unit?!" Shangjiu Yifu was also a little shocked when he heard this.
To be honest, he was still very afraid of this army with only a few hundred people. He had no choice but to destroy so many soldiers in one night. It was too scary not to be afraid.
If he had a choice, he would rather gather his troops and wait for the enemy to evacuate when they saw that there was no chance. He continued to send people to defend and occupy the county.
"Of course, the brigade commander's order will be conveyed to you soon. If you are serious, why are you so cowardly? You insist on me applying to the brigade commander,
Shang Jiujun, I actually know what you are thinking. You just want to wait for the enemy to see that there is no chance and leave voluntarily.
But have you ever thought about what happens if the other party refuses to leave? They just want to stay in your defense zone! As long as you let the troops disperse, what should you do?
