Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 546 Chapter 545, go back and wait for the Japs to come!

Yan Hui will stand here, and the comrades present are all listening with their ears perked up! When the cavalry company's signalman shouted this, everyone's heart was filled with excitement!

If I had to describe this feeling in one word, it would be - awesome! !
More than 2500 Japanese soldiers were killed. This news is much more satisfying than how much supplies were captured! You know, it is not so easy to kill so many Japanese soldiers on the battlefield! That is to say, now that the equipment is good, in the past, without a team of two brigades, basically no one dared to say that they could kill so many Japanese soldiers, and they had to say that they were ambushed or something.

For example, in the ambush at Shentouling, more than 1500 Japanese soldiers were killed, but the troops deployed were several main regiments. Of course, some of the regiment and battalion commanders who led the troops to ambush have died, some have become commanders of the Taihang Third Division, some are brigade commanders, and some battalion commanders have been promoted to regiment commanders. For example, Commander Kong, who was blocking the enemy in the east, was still a battalion commander at the time.

The Eighth Route Army had the godlike 386th Brigade, whose 771st Regiment could fight back when attacked by the devils; there was also the tragic 772nd Regiment, which participated in almost all the fierce battles of the 129th Division, and the regiment commander and battalion commander all died on the battlefield; there was also the less famous 385th Brigade, whose 769th Regiment seemed to have no sense of existence, but it was they who bombed the Yangmingbao Airport...

Of course, there is also the Qinlai Detachment, which looks like a detachment, but it is a brigade-level unit. It seems that there was no earth-shattering event during the Anti-Japanese War, but the Japanese traitors in Yuci don’t think so! Because the Japanese slaughtered a lot of civilians, Captain Qin formed an anti-traitor team, and killed the Japanese traitors so hard that they dared not stand out...

And now, the Beishan guerrillas from the 386th Brigade, the core regiment from the Qinlai Detachment, and the 385th Regiment from the 14th Brigade, the three units worked together and unexpectedly wiped out more than 2500 Japanese soldiers... This can only mean that the Japanese soldiers were really unlucky, as so many new recruits were killed before they were even put into use!
"Hahaha... Lao Guo, I'm sure that even if we don't achieve anything today, we'll still make a fortune! I think when the Japanese get to know this news, their noses will be crooked with rage!"

"Old Zhao, you are right, but what I am worried about now is that the Japanese will retaliate against us and mobilize heavy troops! Therefore, in the next period of time, the base must strengthen its vigilance!"

"Comrades, rest assured. The militiamen under the leadership of our district committee have long been prepared for a decisive battle with the Japanese. They are just waiting for the Japanese to come!" said the comrades of the Ping'an County District Committee.

"The head of the district committee is right. Our militiamen are all heroes. We have tunnels, landmines and grenades. When the Japanese come, we dig tunnels and bury mines to kill them. We are not afraid of the Japanese stationed there, because we still have the guerrilla warfare. We hide in the dark and throw grenades, and we can kill them all with one shot of shotguns! The Japanese are all paper tigers, and the puppet army are even more cowards. Our militiamen are full of passion, and our prestige will shock the Taihang Mountains!" A militia captain started singing, and he was just short of playing the clappers.

"Great..." The comrades around were already excited, and after hearing what this guy said, they immediately became a sea of ​​joy and cheered.

"Ahem, comrades..." The captain of the Ping'an East District stood up and said to the militiamen, "Comrades, everyone has heard that in just a short battle, our comrades in the main force have wiped out more than 2500 devils and achieved great results! You may not have any idea of ​​2500 people, so look around, there are so many of us gathered here, but there are less than 2000 people!"

"Now, everyone understands how much we have achieved, right? Well, in order to give the comrades of the main force better physical strength to fight, the supplies here belong to us! Comrades, get started, let's take them back to the base and support the construction of the main force!" After the district captain said this, the militia immediately became serious, and then threw their arms and gathered at the warehouse of Yanhui Station, carrying the seized supplies on their shoulders, loading them on a cart, and heading back to the base. The militia were also envious. The main force was so well-equipped and could fight the devils. They also wanted to... But why are we militia? When will the main force be expanded?
The militiamen all wanted to join the main force, carry their guns, and fight the devils! But now is the time to streamline the army, so don't even think about expanding the army! Of course, if nothing unexpected happens, the militiamen in the Liangjia Village base will soon usher in a new round of training and will be allocated a large number of weapons!

That’s right, Zhao Danian already had this idea after he learned that weapons and ammunition from more than 2500 people had been seized, and he was even calculating how many weapons to distribute to each village!

Militia weapons don't need to be too good. Don't give them semi-automatic ones! Instead, close-range scattering weapons such as shotguns, shotguns, and double-barreled shotguns are more suitable for militias. In addition, there are mines and grenades! The Type 99 light machine gun, which the main force doesn't like, is also suitable for militias. After all, it is also a continuous-fire weapon, right?

Of course, the issue of strengthening the militia will have to wait until later. What we need to face now is the enemy’s reinforcements and retaliation!

However, what Zhao Danian and his team didn't expect was that they waited from morning to afternoon, and from afternoon to night, but the Japanese didn't send any reinforcements, and even the trains stopped running! There was also the turbulent train station on the other side of the mountain. The Japanese puppet troops decisively gave up the train battle and ran to Yangquan City. This made the comrades of the reconnaissance team full of question marks.

This was the case for them, and the same was true for the 14th Regiment of Captain Kong and the 769th Regiment of Captain Zheng in the east! This time, Brigade Commander Chen sent the two most elite regiments to reinforce, but they only bombed a train station, and the rest was just waiting! The key point was that they waited for a whole day, but they didn't wait for a single Japanese puppet army.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, the wind was so cold that snowflakes began to fall from the sky, but no reinforcements were seen, as if the Japanese had given up on the Zhengtai line. In this situation, not to mention Zhao Danian and his men, even the headquarters that knew the news could not understand what the Japanese were thinking?
Yes, although this military operation was small, the radio contact was followed by the headquarters in real time. However, from morning to night, the biggest gain of the entire battle was that the third team blew up a military train, killed more than 2500 Japanese soldiers, seized so many Japanese equipment and 7 days' worth of food, and brought back dozens of train axles.

As for the spoils of Yanhui Station and Xiapanshizhan, they were nothing compared to the spoils of the Third Division. They were just some winter supplies such as food, coal, and cotton clothes.

"What are the Japs doing? Why are they so cowardly? Signalman, send a telegram to the north, return to the base, and wait for the Japs to come and fight!"
