Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1040 Suspicion of the Japanese Army (third update!)

"Deputy chief of staff, you got rich, we got rich... We captured all the four mortars and four heavy machine guns brought out by the devils, and we also captured two hundred shells along the way, which not only wiped out our loss tonight Make up all of it, and make some money~" Captain Zhou, who had just withdrawn from the battlefield, reported excitedly when he saw Wang Ping.

"Also, in the ambush battle just now, we captured more than 160 puppet soldiers, and they are helping us carry the spoils now!"

Wang Ping's expression was very calm, without any surprise or shock. This result was already in his expectation.

"Not surprisingly, the harvest of the other two regiments should also be good!"

"In this way, all the captured heavy weapons will replenish the troops, and the extra light weapons and more than 100 prisoners, you will draw a company and send them to the rear, and then hand them over to the military region for unified arrangement... As for the ammunition, all the troops will be replenished... how many If so, wait for one, three or two regiments to withdraw, and directly replenish them!"

"There are still three hours before the retreat at four o'clock in the morning, and we can continue to fight~"

"However, the devils will definitely not be fooled easily again this time. However, even if they are not fooled, our shells hitting their garrison can still achieve considerable results!"

"So, don't be afraid of wasting shells, and fight boldly. Even if a few shells kill a devil, we will earn money..."

Three days later, the devils had already reached the Suide military region for more than [-] kilometers. As long as they fought one more day, they could reach the Yellow River.

Seeing that everyone in his subordinates was wearing a pair of panda eyes, even though it was still four o'clock in the afternoon, Commander Yongsheng resolutely gave the order to stop advancing.

The troops of nearly 3000 people sat on the road and began to rest, as agreed upon.

Commander Yongsheng is a little better, riding on a horse, he can also take a nap during the march.

"Sir, the army is really exhausted. If this continues, if the Eighth Route Army confronts us in a decisive battle, the combat effectiveness of the army will be weakened by at least [-]% or even more due to exhaustion!"

"Also, the chief of staff reported that they were also attacked by the Eighth Route Army at night in the same way. The troops are very tired!"

"He plans to march forward for only half a day every day, and rest under the cover of aviation for the remaining half of the day to replenish his strength and energy!"

"As for the night, disperse the garrison as much as possible, reduce the casualties caused by the shelling to the troops, and rest as long as the troops can rest!"

Commander Yongsheng's brain quickly started to think about the feasibility of this method!
After 1 minute, he replied with a helpless face: "Although this has slowed down the mopping speed of the troops, the casualties have also been minimized. More importantly, the troops will not be so tired!"

"It's almost to the river now, and it will be a matter of time before the main force of the Eighth Route Army is forced to fight us, unless they are willing to use all the bases east of the Yellow River. Therefore, the most urgent delay now is to restore the combat effectiveness of the troops and be ready to fight against the Suide Army of the Eighth Route Army at any time." The main force of the district will fight a decisive battle!"

"Just follow the chief of staff's method. In addition, contact the division headquarters and ask them to arrange the garrison troops to come to Liulin as soon as possible to defend the Eighth Route Army base that we have won, so as to prevent them from resurging!"

The adjutant immediately left the tent to give orders, but returned after less than 10 minutes of walking.

Looking at the captain who was closing his eyes and recuperating, he hesitated for a long time before mustering up the courage to report.

"Sir, I just received a telegram saying that the supply troop carrying ammunition and supplies to us was ambushed by a small group of troops from the Eighth Route Army on the road, and then ambushed. All ammunition and supplies were lost, and the escort troops were also wiped out!"

"What?" Commander Yongsheng opened his closed eyes suddenly, stood up from the chair after a while, stared at the adjutant and asked back.

"Why is there still the Eighth Route Army behind us? Didn't the Eighth Route Army be driven all the way to the river by us?"

The adjutant immediately replied: "The remaining troops reported that the attacking convoy was not the main force of the Eighth Route Army, but guerrillas and small units with poor equipment and weak combat effectiveness. They must have slipped through the net during our mopping up!"

Chief Yongsheng's face looked a lot better, but he was still serious.

"There is also a possibility that before our sweep started, they ambushed an army behind us to cut off our logistical supplies!"

"Impossible, how could the Eighth Route Army arrange it so carefully, it must be an accident!" the adjutant shouted in disbelief.

If the team leader's deduction is correct, then his opponent, the Eighth Route Army, would be too terrifying.

Chief Yongsheng frowned and analyzed: "Nothing is impossible!"

"According to the general combat intensity, the ammunition we carry with the army is enough for seven days. Now, except for the artillery shells, the remaining ammunition is only enough for one day. And we used up so much ammunition, and we didn't even have a fight with the Eighth Route Army Don't you find it strange that the scale of the decisive battle is slightly larger?"

"I'm very suspicious now that the Eighth Route Army's various surprise attacks on us these days, in addition to depleting our strength, has another reason, and that is to deplete our ammunition!"

"Without ammunition, not to mention continuing to attack, even self-protection is a problem!"

The adjutant was also anxious, staring at Chief Yongsheng and asked: "Sir, what should we do then?"

"Two steps! Regardless of whether the Eighth Route Army has left troops in their rear, or whether this is a conspiracy, the ammunition supplies we urgently need must be sent up!"

"The first step is to ask the remaining troops to send more troops to escort and transport the ammunition and supplies to us. At the same time, contact the chief of staff to confirm whether he has the same problem. If so, let the remaining troops send up the ammunition and supplies together!"

"The second step is to contact the headquarters of the division and regiment, and immediately deploy the garrison troops to station the Eighth Route Army base that we have already taken!"

"We have too few troops now. Except for the two attacking troops and the remaining troops, there are almost no mobile troops available. This is very dangerous. What happened behind the bullet, even the troops!"

"As long as the division headquarters can mobilize [-] garrison troops, I will add at least one brigade of mobile troops. Even if the Eighth Route Army hides a brigade behind us and has an infantry brigade in hand, I will not be afraid!"

The adjutant was very anxious, and as soon as Colonel Yongsheng finished his order, he rushed out of the tent.

A few kilometers away, at the Eighth Route Army assembly point, after receiving the news that the devils had stopped and prepared to set up camp, the three regiment leaders showed eager expressions on their faces.

On the first night, nearly a thousand Japanese and puppet troops were killed by the three regiments. Although there were a lot fewer in the second night, there were only 500 people.

At this time, everyone was looking forward to the nightfall, and then touched the vicinity of the Japanese and puppet army camps, and continued to use the old method to sneak up on the devils and consume them.

Unexpectedly, Wang Ping, who was sitting in front of everyone, had an ugly face.

The brigade commander next to him couldn't help asking: "Deputy Chief of Staff, do you miss the devil's cavalry regiment again!"

"The devils are too cautious and cunning. They would rather not have the mobility advantages and powerful assault capabilities of the cavalry. They don't divide their troops... As long as they don't divide their troops, it will be very difficult for us to kill their cavalry regiment!" Wang Ping didn't hide anything. Talk straight to the questions that are troubling your mind!
Li Fuquan, the head of the first regiment, said indifferently: "Deputy chief of staff... I think you think too much~ The devil will not divide his troops if he doesn't divide them. Let's attack his infantry first. When the infantry is finished, they will not divide the troops. It doesn't matter to us!"

Wang Ping didn't want his mood to affect the morale of several regiment leaders, so he put away his emotions and replied: "Commander Li is right, let's ignore the cavalry and attack his infantry. The rest of the cavalry will naturally emerge!"
