Chapter 99 Japanese Retreat

The Japanese Army Command of Pingding County was in chaos when facing the defeated adjutant.

The Imperial Army who reinforced Zhangzhuang Town was defeated and returned, and the Japanese army who stayed in the county were still acceptable. After all, their combat effectiveness was limited and their equipment was poor, so the defeated troops did not cause much sensation when they entered the city.

The adjutant was different. Nearly a hundred Japanese, and they retreated into the county like a dog with a broken family. This was definitely the first time this happened after the Japanese army occupied and pacified. The news could not be hidden.

The most shocking part here is the squadron leader who stayed in the county.

He knew how many troops the captain sent back to Zhangzhuang Town. He heard that there were less than a hundred imperial troops entering the city, and immediately realized that they were attacked by the Eighth Route Army in Zhangzhuang Town and were defeated and lost at least one infantry squad.

He was able to gain advantage from more than 100 imperial troops and ate one of the infantry squadrons like a tiger's teeth pulling out. The squadron leader had a new understanding of the Eighth Route Army outside the city, and was deeply shocked by the combat effectiveness they showed and was full of concern.

The deputy captain's expression was very heavy. Although he brought back nearly a hundred soldiers from Zhangzhuang Town, he was defeated and this defeat would definitely become a stain that he would never erase in his military career.

It is conceivable that after this failure, you will never be promoted in the next two years.

Compared with the worries of the left-behind squadron leader, the deputy captain felt more angry and unwilling, and he wanted to cut off all the Eighth Route Army outside the city. It was because they ruined themselves and blocked their promotion path.

When he returned to the command center, the deputy captain immediately wrote a telegram to the captain, truthfully reporting his experience in Zhangzhuang Town, and asking the captain to come back to avenge himself.

At the Japanese Army station in Nishiyama, Major Fujita had already fallen asleep, and only the radio operator was left sitting in front of the radio station and holding his post. His double eyelids kept fighting, and he squinted for a while from time to time.

Just as he fell asleep again, the radio signal light suddenly flashed.

The radio operator's eyes, which had already narrowed, suddenly opened. Although he was very tired, as soon as he entered work, he seemed to have changed his headphones quickly...

As the first person to know the content of the telegram, in just ten minutes, the expression on the radio operator's face was like the changing weather, very rich.

At first, he looked full of expectations, and thought that the deputy captain had won a battle outside the mountain and reported the victory to the captain.

As I put it in, my expression became solemn.

Because this is a telegram for help, not a good news.

After all the content was translated, there was a hint of worry on his solemn face.

The deputy captain suffered losses outside the mountain and was in urgent need of reinforcements. The situation of the captain in the mountain was not optimistic.

According to the original encirclement and suppression plan, the troops will be able to drive the Donghui Town guerrillas out of Jinshan this afternoon.

As a result, when the sweeping troops rushed to the edge of Jinshan, the guerrillas in Donghui Town, which had been hunting for several days, disappeared.

The guerrillas were clearly active in front of the encirclement and suppression troops, so how could they suddenly disappear? The news spread and the captain was stunned, as if he was stuck in his throat. He seemed to have suffered a huge blow and he became several years old in an instant.

The radio operator was always following the captain and knew very well his expectations for this sweep.

The guerrillas in Donghui Town severely damaged the garrison brigade many times, which was not only a life-and-death enemy of the Imperial Army, but also a great shame and humiliation in the captain's military career. They wanted to get rid of it so quickly.

As a result, the carefully prepared sweep ended in vain and no guerrillas were killed.

There is no doubt that this was another loud slap given to him by the Donghui Town guerrillas.

The radio operator remembered clearly that before going to bed, the captain was still resentful of today's defeat, gritted his teeth, and swore in front of several officers: he would not evacuate Jinshan if he did not kill the Donghui Town guerrillas.

If the telegram for help is sent in his hand, the captain will definitely be in a difficult position and face a difficult choice.

Should we go back to the county town and kill the main force of the Eighth Route Army outside the mountain first? Or should we continue to stay in the mountains and encircle and suppress the guerrillas with uncertain whereabouts?

If the former is chosen, the captain's oath before going to bed will not be able to fulfill it, and he will continue to endure the great humiliation brought to him by the guerrillas.

If the former is chosen, the Eighth Route Army, which was active outside the mountain, would definitely turn the pacification of the earth, establish a base, and affect the dominance of the Imperial Army in pacification.

If the superiors knew that the base was pacified, the captain would definitely be criticized or even punished...

The radio operator sighed, not knowing which path the captain would choose in the end. But one thing is certain: after receiving this telegram, the captain would definitely get furious and he would probably become his target of venting.

I didn't want to send this telegram in my heart, but the military situation was urgent, so I could only walk towards the captain with a tough bullet...

In a village southwest of Zhangzhuang Town, soldiers are mobilizing villagers to join the guerrillas.

Zhou Cheng was also among them. Seeing several young people taking the initiative to join the guerrillas, they were very happy.

"Captain, good news..." Li Yifang, the second platoon leader, appeared in front of him unexpectedly, gasping heavily, and reporting with an excited expression on his face.

"Aren't you cooperating with the deputy instructor and the Japanese in the mountains to fight guerrilla warfare? Why did you come here... Could it be..." Seeing the smile on Li Yifang's face, Zhou Cheng suddenly reacted, and the smile on his face became stronger, and he was looking forward to asking.

"The Japanese in the mountains retreated?"

"Yes, captain!" Li Yifang nodded quickly.

"As soon as the sky dawn, the Japanese began to retreat, and after joining the troops blocking the mountain pass, they marched quickly towards the county town."

"The deputy instructor is worried that you are under pressure here, so I will lead a squad to reinforce."

"We won!" Zhou Cheng's heart, which had been hanging for several days, finally let go, and immediately ordered: "Why are you still standing there? Let me tell everyone about the news that the Japanese quit Jinshan, so that everyone will be happy."

"The army will have extra meals tonight, and then retreat to Jinshan overnight. It's time to go back for so long!"

Early the next morning, Major Fujita led more than 400 Japanese and puppet troops into Zhangzhuang Town.

Disappointed that apart from the stronghold that had been bombed into ruins, the Japanese Eighth Route Army did not find any of the Japanese Eighth Route Army, nor did they encounter any attacks.

When asked the people, I learned that the Eighth Route Army evacuated the town overnight last night. As for where they went? No one knew.

Major Fujita seemed to punch the cotton, angry and frustrated.

In order to re-control Zhangzhuang Town, more than 100 people had to be withdrawn from the already small troops to stay in Zhangzhuang Town, rebuild the Zhangzhuang Town stronghold, and return to the county town with the remaining 300 people.

He wanted to follow the traces left by the Eighth Route Army's retreat and kill them, and pay for their blood debts, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

This Eighth Route Army is extraordinary, has strong combat power and is well equipped. If something happens on the road to pursue, it is too risky to bring only 300 people over.

Moreover, there are no soldiers available in the county town, and the troops I brought out are the only mobile troops of the garrison.

If an accident occurs, the county town will be in danger, and you will really lose watermelon and pick up sesame seeds.
