Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 447 Chapter 446, Everything Returns to Peace

The independent regiment attacked, the independent regiment cleaned up the battlefield, the independent regiment went down the mountain, and the division commander and his men went up...

At the artillery position, Li Yuexuan, who had nothing to do, finally couldn't stay any longer because there was no follow-up order. He walked over to Director Zhao and said, "Director Zhao, now that the Yamazaki Battalion has finished fighting, can we go back to the arsenal? There's nothing to do if we stay here all the time."

"Are you anxious? Okay, I'll go ask for you!" Director Zhao was an enthusiastic man who loved talent. He happily went to find the chief of staff and told him about the situation.

"What about this?" Chief of Staff Zuo glanced at the artillery position and said, "Have you figured out the two guns used today?"

"I have the information, and when we were setting up the position, Comrade Youshun explained everything he knew to us, and taught us very attentively! So, we have mastered these two cannons!"

"Peregrine is a good comrade!" The chief of staff sighed and said, "Since their mission is completed, let them go back! As for the artillery and shells they brought along, you artillerymen can keep them! On the one hand, we can continue to study how to use them, and on the other hand, we can also reduce the weight they carry when they return! At the same time, we can also strengthen the artillery strength of your division, which is a win-win situation!"

"Then, about the arsenal..." Director Zhao asked happily.

"I will report the situation to Minister Zhang! Everyone saw this battle, and the Arsenal performed outstandingly this time, and they must have made an indispensable contribution to the military achievement! Okay, you go and talk to them, and let them go back first. I will visit the Arsenal when I have the chance. It is a place of hope for the development and growth of our Eighth Route Army!" said the Chief of Staff.

"Yes, I'll go back right away!" Director Zhao saluted, turned around and went to the artillery position.

At the brigade headquarters, the brigade commander had just come back from inspecting the positions and saw Li Yunlong waiting there. Seeing that Li Yunlong was a little confused, he decisively asked, "Li Yunlong, what's wrong with you?"

"Hey, brigade commander, it's like this! You saw the battle just now, right? I dare not say how heroic our independent regiment was, because we really didn't fight much in this battle! What I want to ask is, that..." Li Yunlong gestured with his hands and said, "Would you like to ask for some of those big artillery shells and launchers for us?"

"Li Yunlong, you are such a jerk. You just finished the battle and you are thinking about taking things from your independent regiment, right?" The brigade commander adjusted his glasses unhappily and said, "Do you think you are the only one who saw it? You are the only one who wants it? I want it too! It all depends on how the headquarters arranges it! This thing is useful, but it also has great limitations. As a frontline regiment commander, you should understand it better than anyone else!"

"So, go back and stay here! What you need to consider now is not the issue of equipping the troops with artillery shells, but how to fight back if the Japanese continue to besiege you! Go!"

Li Yunlong went back to the independent regiment obediently, and then happily looked at some weapons and ammunition looted from the Lijiapo position, wondering how to arrange them? I just went to see the brigade commander. Since the brigade commander did not mention these captured items, it was assumed that these captured items belonged to their independent regiment! Although the number was small, and many of them were destroyed, but with the arsenal, they would not be wasted, right?

Lijiapo has been taken down, so there is no point in staying here! If the headquarters was in Shimen Village before, there would be a garrison here. But now, the headquarters has moved to Matan Town, east of the arsenal, and this place does not have much strategic value! So, leave a few troops to guard the passage from the east to the arsenal, and everyone can withdraw! Woo ang... In the air, the devil's reconnaissance planes flew back and forth, and even flew over the top of Lijiapo at an ultra-low altitude...

The reconnaissance plane climbed up and flew steadily in the air. However, the pilot Oshima and the observer Ogura had no motivation to speak. Apart from the sound of the engine, there was no other sound in the cabin.

"Oshima-kun, let's return! We have made seven round trips, and there is no need to continue observing! What is certain is that the Yamazaki Battalion has been wiped out!" Ogura's voice sounded.

"I'm really unwilling to accept this! After all, our encirclement and suppression troops are not far from Panlong Town and can launch an attack soon! It's a pity that the Eighth Route Army has disappeared from our sight again, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to find them again!" Oshima was unwilling to accept this, but he had to accept the reality.

The reconnaissance plane returned, leaving the radio station behind without dismantling it. Under Ogura's operation, it transmitted what they saw to the headquarters of the First Army.

"Baka..." Lieutenant General Shinozuka Yoshio slammed the telegram on the table unwillingly: "Tell all the attacking troops... to suspend the attack! Since the Eighth Route Army has completely hidden, it is meaningless to attack again. It will only increase the casualties of the attacking troops! However, use the location where all the troops are staying as a node, and let them find a suitable location around the stop point to build bunkers!"

"General Gangcun has given us a policy of iron wall encirclement, so we will continue to improve this policy and firmly occupy the existing occupied areas with military facilities such as small strongholds, artillery towers, bunkers, barbed wire, blockade trenches, large strongholds, artillery platforms, etc.! Once we have established our foothold and have a frontier fortress for attack, we will continue to penetrate the occupied areas of the Eighth Route Army and gradually erode them!"

"Go ahead, go ahead, just follow this method! Recently, the front army reported something, that is, the other side of the Chinese army, the bald side, although they expressed great praise for the Eighth Route Army's raid, they are more cautious! At least, he is no longer going to pay the Eighth Route Army's military pay that has been in arrears!"

"Not only did they not give it to us, they also joined forces with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and even contacted us through some channels, asking us to jointly impose a double economic and military blockade on the Eighth Route Army!"

"There is an old Chinese saying, 'Brothers quarrel at home, but when outsiders come to attack, they can fight together! But this bald commander, this foreign student who studied with us, seems to have only learned the essence of the first half! So, in my opinion, we just need to do a good job of defense, and we can benefit from the quarrel between the snipe and the clam!"

"China is such a magical country! It has a long history and civilization, but it has also been invaded by foreign enemies countless times, and it even almost disappeared in history! And every time a foreign enemy invaded in history, there were not as many traitors as this time when we... ahem, we had so many traitors!"

"And this is all thanks to our decades of careful planning! For example, those students who come to study abroad are our best educational targets! Now, these students have played their most important role! China, you never know how to learn from history..."

Shinozuka Yoshio finished speaking, and everything returned to calm.
