On the battlefield northeast of Yangquan, the Yangquan Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army continued to pursue the Japanese and puppet troops.

At around five o'clock in the morning, some fishy belly had turned white, which was the rhythm of dawn.

On the pipeline leading to Yangquan City, a Japanese and puppet army marched forward in a dusty manner. In addition to the rifle, they were also on their backs, and almost all the loads that could be lost on their bodies were thrown away.

This is the Japanese Yangquan garrison that had just withdrawn from the battlefield. They have been raided by the Eighth Route Army three times on the way to retreat, and the pursuers are chasing more and more, biting tightly behind their butts.

In the team where the formation was no longer visible, every Japanese man was so tired that his face was flushed and he was panting.

At this moment, the strong Japanese were a little unable to hold on, and the puppet army would definitely not be much better.

Starting two hours ago, the puppet army began to fall behind. At the beginning, the captain wanted to take care of it, but the result was counterproductive. Not only did they not bring them together, but the marching speed of the troops slowed down a lot.

In the end, the captain simply ignored them and fell behind. As long as he could bring the remaining imperial army back to Yangquan safely. If the puppet army is gone, he will be able to recruit new recruits at that time.

After two hours, a few puppet troops, a multi-battalion of puppet troops were killed by the Eighth Route Army, and almost two hundred people fell behind. In the end, they ran into half a company, all of which were officers of the Imperial Army.

For the captain, this result is the best.

As long as these Imperial Army officers are in hand, it is easy to rebuild the Imperial Army by returning to the county town.

"Dongdongdongdong...dakdada..."

The annoying machine gun strafing sounded again, and five flames suddenly appeared on the hillside east of the official road, including a heavy machine gun fire tongue.

Like the flying bullets, it instantly covered nearly a hundred soldiers walking in the end.

The captain looked back and made the decision to cut off his arm: "The troops continued to advance, don't worry about the enemy that raided us... If the troops behind the palace can break through, they will break through!"

The captain ran forward with a tough bullet and less than two kilometers, and the gunshots behind him stopped.

Looking at the troops shorter behind him, he wanted to cry without tears, but he couldn't even say a word of insult.

He is no longer surprised by this journey. Every time he is raided by the Eighth Route Army, his troops will be less than 100 people.

The only thing that made him glad was that there were less than ten kilometers left across Yangquan City, and it was almost dawn. With the combat style of the Eighth Route Army, he should not dare to continue launching a raid.

The one who raided the Japanese and puppet troops just now was the guard company of the Yangquan Independent Regiment, which was also the last raid unit arranged by the regiment commander on the path that the Japanese must pass.

The battle went very smoothly. As soon as the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops left, the firepower of the guard company was concentrated on these Japanese and puppet troops.

If it were normal, the guard company would have to pay a considerable price to kill fifty or sixty Japanese and twenty or thirty puppet troops in one raid.

But not today.

The Japanese who had run for half a night were all exhausted and panting? They stopped and wanted to sit on the ground without moving, which greatly reduced their combat effectiveness.

After being attacked, every Japanese forced themselves to cheer up and fight back? But they were too tired and their legs were trembling with numbness? They didn't obey their commands at all.

My eyes were so tired that I could hardly open my eyes, and my shooting accuracy was not even enough for 30% of the usual ones.

Even their most proud bayonet fight? At this time, they were trembling with their legs?                                                                                                                    �

Facing the Eighth Route Army rushing over like a wolf? Many Japanese soldiers were stabbed by bayonets when they just met the Eighth Route Army, and finally fell to the ground with unwillingness.

After the battle, the guard company was about to clean the battlefield, and the regiment commander and political commissar happened to lead the pursuers to come.

"Report to the regiment commander? Political Commissar: The Guard Company was ordered to intercept the Japanese here? We just intercepted nearly 100 Japanese and puppet troops. Except for 18 puppet troops surrender, the remaining more than 70 Japanese and puppet troops were all killed. The Guard Company is preparing to clean the battlefield? Please instruct!"

"Continue to clean the battlefield!" The regiment commander saluted the guard company commander, and then greeted the reconnaissance company commander not far away.

"Take your people with you to continue tracking the retreating troops of the Japanese and puppet troops? Confirm that they all enter the city and then retreat. Other troops hurry up and rest. We will not chase them anymore. There are more important tasks for everyone in two hours!"

The political commissar stood beside him, looking at the corpses of Japanese and puppet soldiers all over the ground, his face was already filled with joy.

As soon as the regiment commander finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Captain, the first and second battalions in front of him, the spy company, all intercepted nearly a hundred Japanese and puppet troops, and the guard company intercepted nearly a hundred people. I guess all the Japanese and puppet troops withdrawing back to Yangquan City will not exceed five hundred people!"

The regiment commander shook his head: "Political Commissar, you are too proud of the Japanese. I think it would be great if they could withdraw more than 300 people."

"Although our four ambushers only cut off more than 300 Japanese and puppet troops, there were more than 100 puppet troops left behind on the way. All of them were added together. The Japanese and puppet troops lost at least 500 people throughout the way."

The political commissar slapped his forehead violently: "You are right, I almost forgot about these people."

"There are more than 100 puppet army prisoners we have collected along the way, and there must be many puppet army slipping away in the chaos. If they add them, the results will be greater."

"Now it seems that we have not fought for the past two days of blockade. We have directly destroyed the Japanese and a full brigade!"

The regiment commander nodded: "It is only one thing to fight the devil's infantry brigade. The biggest benefit this battle brought to us is that the Yangquan garrison was beaten to the point of being unable to take revenge on us."

"The only 300 people left to attack our pacification garrison and a regiment of Imperial Army retreated back to the county town. Before the Japanese and puppet troops were fully replenished, this remnant soldier would definitely not dare to leave the city rashly, otherwise sheep would enter the tiger's mouth and die in vain. This means that except for the county town and several villages and towns protected by heavy Japanese troops in Yangquan, the remaining Japanese troops would have no strength to continue to control!"

The political commissar understood as soon as he heard this: "So leader, you said that there will be a task for everyone in two hours. This task is to expand our base?"

The regiment leader nodded: "Before the news of the Japanese's defeat had not yet been spread, the entire regiment immediately attacked in the company and went deep into the original Japanese occupied areas, and captured all the traitors and bullies who worked for the Japanese, without giving them a chance to escape."

"This time I not only want to recover all the bases I lost before, but also develop the guerrilla area into a base, and the Japanese occupied areas into a guerrilla area, and take the opportunity to expand the base area more than double."

The political commissar had already begun to shine.

He is not only responsible for the ideological work of the entire independent group, but also the logistics manager of the entire independent group.

During this sweep, the political commissar was most worried that the troops could not raise enough military rations after losing large areas of Shanwai bases.

Two days before the anti-sweeping raid, I saw a large area of ​​bases occupied by the Japanese army, and the troops involved in the blocking were also seriously injured and killed. The political commissar was so worried that he couldn't sleep.

Now it seems that I am too worried.

In just one night, the battlefield changed drastically.

Yesterday, the Japanese and puppet troops became a dog that was stranded, and the independent group that was suppressed and breathless became a chasing party and beat the dogs to the point of falling into water. Not only did they successfully recover all the bases that had been lost in the past two days, but they also took the opportunity to double the bases.

The guerrilla areas are all plains and the grain output is high. If the troops develop there into a base, they will definitely be able to raise enough food to support the troops.

As for the traitors and bullies who were active in the guerrilla areas and the Japanese occupied areas, the political commissar was very clear about their family background and virtues.

If the troops cannot attack immediately, as soon as they receive news of the Japanese defeat, they will immediately retreat to the county towns and towns where the Japanese army is heavily defending. In the end, the independent regiment will have nothing to seize except a base.

If the troops could stop the net before they reacted and capture all these traitors, not to mention anything else, the seized food would be enough for the entire independent group to eat for the first half of a year...

He immediately supported: "We must first send troops to block Yangquan City and villages and towns that are still controlled by the Japanese army to prevent those traitors from running to the Japanese, and then close the net."

"I will go back to the base now and find a way to organize at least 500 guerrillas to participate in the operation!"

The command center of the Yangquan Japanese military brigade, from the time the brigade commander issued a retreat order, the atmosphere in the combat room became more and more depressing. The brigade commander never smiled again. He locked himself in the room all the time in the middle of the night, did not sleep, and no orders were passed.

At six o'clock in the morning, the brigade commander finally walked out of the room, with a pair of dark circles on his face, his face looked very ugly, and he looked like he had been aged several years overnight, and he could not see the enthusiasm of yesterday at all.

"General..." The Chief of Staff was about to ask, but he was interrupted by him: "How is the situation outside?"

"Especially the National Salvation Army, is there any latest information about them?"

"Is there any news about Pingding coming back? It's dawn. Is the county town still in our hands? Did the Pingding garrison return to the rescue in time?"

The Chief of Staff was very happy that the brigade commander was able to ask these questions, which showed that he had recovered from his anger last night and reported it quickly.

"The National Salvation Army did not continue to expand its results after tearing open seven gaps on the blockade line, but our people found that many National Salvation Army units brought transportation vehicles into the Imperial Army's occupied area."

"They must have been fond of the food in the occupied area of ​​the Imperial Army and wanted to take advantage of the empty forces of the Imperial Army in the occupied area and grab some food back."

"But General, you have issued an order to return aid. As long as each unit marched urgently and withdrew its own defense zone, the food that the National Rescue Army could rob was definitely very limited. Maybe it would also compensate the wife and the troops. Not only would it not be able to grab our food, but the troops entering the occupied area would also be wiped out by us."

"There is no news over Pingding. No matter how we call, Pingdingcheng has not responded."

"One more thing: we have lost contact with the peace garrison, and we suspect that they are marching urgently and cannot receive telegrams, so we have not reported it to you for the time being."

The brigade commander was in a roller coaster. He was calm when he heard the first news, and he could barely remain calm when he heard the second news. The troops were empty in pacifying the city. If the national rescue army really wanted to attack the city with all its strength, it would be easy to take it down. He was mentally prepared. When he heard the third news, the brigade commander could not calm down.

If Pingding City is lost, it can still be taken back. If something happens to the Pingding Guards, it will be a big problem.

Not only will you be held accountable by your superiors, but you will also have to reorganize the pacification garrison before you can regain the pacification...
