Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

After the two reconnaissance planes passed by, some people in the original second battalion's position moved slightly. Fortunately, the mountain camouflage (fake) military uniforms, combined with the thatch on the head, successfully deceived the Japanese reconnaissance! The Japanese reconnaissance planes can fly low, but there are mountains around, so they dare not fly too low; and the speed of the plane is not slow, and after a quick pass, they did not find anything.

Of course, this was only on the Second Battalion's side, and the two reconnaissance planes soon arrived at Shili Township, and then made a major discovery!

In Shili Township, it has been a while since the battle ended, but the post-war work has not yet been completed. So when everyone received the notification from the military district that a reconnaissance plane was flying over, they were still busy picking up the bodies of the Japanese. Of course, when the Japanese reconnaissance plane came, they did not find where the Eighth Route Army was, because the Eighth Route Army hid, for example, some people decisively jumped into the reeds by the river.

But at this moment, the Japanese reconnaissance planes were not in the mood to look for traces of the Eighth Route Army, because they saw the neatly arranged bodies of the Japanese and puppet soldiers!

The number of Japanese puppet troops brought by Ueno is not small, and with the ones left behind in Shili Township, there are more than 3,000 of them! Even if there are more than 2,000 puppet troops here, the number of Japanese is still not small!
Then, the observer and the pilot of the reconnaissance plane saw a row of yellow corpses neatly arranged for several hundred meters. Compared with the puppet soldiers next to them, who were different in color but obviously longer in size and arranged in a longer row, the observer and the pilot were very sure that those were their own troops that had been eliminated!
Although they did not find any traces of the Eighth Route Army after another round of division, the Japanese soldiers found craters left by heavy mortars and mountain artillery bombardments on the hill east of Majiayan, and also found craters of varying sizes around Shili Township. Well, many of the craters were right in front of the Japanese corpses, a dark circle that was hard to miss.

Based on the results of the observation, the Japanese observer quickly sent a report to the military headquarters via radio: "According to the investigation, thousands of our and the Imperial Army's bodies were neatly laid out by the river on the north side of the target. It can be confirmed that our team attacking from the north has been completely wiped out at the target!"

After sending the telegram, the reconnaissance plane circled for half a circle and returned along the same route. It did not carry out any low-altitude flying, strafing or other sweeping operations. As for why, it was because the pilots of the two reconnaissance planes had just graduated from the aviation school and had no experience at all. Their skills were also mediocre, otherwise they would not have been sent here.

As for the observers, their situation was similar to that of the pilots, they were also newcomers with little experience! As for the experienced ones, they had been transferred one after another, some to Southeast Asia, and some to the Pacific.

Even the airports in Yuncheng were not used by the Japanese to fight against the Eighth Route Army, but as a landing ground for bombers! The target of the bombers was the important city of Xi'an in the west. The Japanese couldn't fight back to their hometown in Xianyang to see their ancestors, so they had to drop bombs on their ancestors' graves.

In fact, the Japanese arranged a lot of intelligence personnel to secretly lurk in Xi'an. These intelligence personnel infiltrated the civilian population in disguise, and then guided the Japanese bombers to blow up some valuable targets. For example, a certain old Western arsenal seemed to have moved part of it, so the Japanese didn't mind blowing it up!
Sometimes we have to say that the Japanese spies are really well hidden and well disguised! It's like a couple who successfully directed several bombings and were not exposed later. After they died, their granddaughter discovered the secret of translating the telegram when she was sorting out their belongings. And this happened decades later...

In this era, except for Li Yuexuan, probably no one else knew what happened decades later! Therefore, after the devil's reconnaissance plane flew away, the Eighth Route Army hiding in various places came out from their hiding places.

Then, those who were cleaning the battlefield continued to clean the battlefield, and those who were looting supplies continued to loot supplies. Guo Liandong also transferred Fu Quan and his men who were used for defense in the west. Now that they were able to determine the general situation of the Japanese, there was no practical significance in leaving them in the west.

Although they were somewhat disappointed that they did not have the opportunity to fight, Fu Quan and his men became happy again when they heard that a dozen Japanese devils and puppet troops were on their way.

From the beginning to the end, neither the puppet army on the road nor the dozen or so devils leading the team received the order to return from the radio. This may be because the order from the military has not yet arrived, or maybe Inoue has forgotten that there are still people on the road... Of course, none of this is important. What is important is Guxian County and the movement of the devil's army!
Because no matter from which angle, the Japanese puppet troops who had penetrated deep into the enemy's territory were already dead in a pile! The difference was that they were shot to death or killed by artillery shells!
In Gu County, Inoue was pacing back and forth. Next to him was a radio station. The signalman wore headphones so that he could receive telegrams from the military at any time. However, he waited and waited, but the telegraph machine did not work. The ground where Inoue walked was much greasier than other places...

"Bagayalu, what's going on in these people's minds? In such an urgent situation, there is still no order? These..." Inoue didn't dare to curse in front of the signalman, but it did not prevent him from giving the most cordial greetings to the military officials in his mind.

The reconnaissance plane flew back and forth, all of which were observed by Inoue. However, the reconnaissance plane had been away for 20 minutes, so why hadn't there been any orders? The plane could send a telegram to the military.

In the military headquarters, several old Japanese soldiers gathered together, with a map spread out on the table. On the map were red and blue circles and spikes. Then, the spikes intersected, there were front and back, and there were also explosive circles with sharp teeth drawn at the intersection of the red and blue arrows.

"According to the data provided by the reconnaissance aircraft, a large number of corpses were found in Shili Township. They were all our soldiers and the Imperial Army! And this team was going to look for the other team that had lost contact! In other words, we lost an entire infantry battalion, plus three Imperial Army battalions, a direct loss of nearly 5000 troops!"

"According to the intelligence gathered by the 69th Division in Jiexiu, the troops that entered the Taiyue Mountain area suddenly lost contact and could not be contacted again. This is what happened the day before yesterday and yesterday! According to the situation in Shili Township, these three teams may no longer exist!" (End of this chapter)
