Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 322 Bad Premonition (First Update!)

Although no accurate news had reached the former enemy headquarters of the Independence Regiment, cheers suddenly erupted on the battlefield.

Cheng Xiao looked at Wang Ping, and since he was pleasantly surprised but couldn't believe it, he asked back, "Headman! Is this a win?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of hurried footsteps came into the headquarters, and then he saw Zhang Qing's excited and excited figure rushing in.

"Regimental Commander, Political Commissar! We won, we won. The puppet army of more than 3000 days was all wiped out by us, and no one slipped through the net!"

"Huh!" Wang Ping's heart, which had been tense all night, completely relaxed, and he replied after taking a long breath.

"Finally won the battle, political commissar, order the troops to clean up the battlefield immediately, take everything you can carry, you must leave here before dark, and return to the station! Don't forget, the little devil still has a plane, don't let us win a game Hundreds more lost in battle over the Brats! We can't afford to lose!"

"Yes, Commander!" Cheng Xiao said some unnecessary nonsense, and went directly to give the order.

At this time, the telegram from Chief of Staff Zeng Quan was also sent: "Regimental Commander, telegram from Chief of Staff!"

"The Japanese and puppet troops who reinforced Huangtuling suddenly withdrew more than an hour ago."

The political commissar who had just returned from giving the order frowned and asked back: "Withdraw back, what kind of tricks are the devils playing? Could it be that they have already calculated that Huangtuling will be taken by us, knowing that it is useless to come here with hard work, why not?" Go back to sleep!"

Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "Commander Devil, to be precise, our old opponent, Major General Ono, is very smart!"

"After we blow up the bridge across the river for the reinforcement troops, they will not be able to reach Huangtuling Village until dawn at least. And after dawn, their planes can catch up. Compared with the infantry, we must be more afraid of their planes. Rather than letting them If the infantry had worked hard all night to reinforce Huangtuling, it would be better to send out planes after dawn and arrive in an hour."

Speaking of this, Wang Ping's face became more serious than ever, and he couldn't see the joy after winning the battle just now.

"It's three o'clock in the morning, political commissar, contact the troops immediately, I'll give them an hour to clean up the battlefield. After an hour, no matter what the result is? We must retreat and return to our station!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Captain, did you think of something?" Cheng Xiao asked back, frowning.

The battlefield is so big, and the loss of the independent regiment is also great. It takes a lot of time just to collect the remains of the sacrificed soldiers. One hour, can't do anything at all?

Wang Ping nodded and replied with a serious face: "That's right! In our plan, after eating the devil's two mopping up troops in one bite, the devil's remaining two mopping up troops will definitely retreat! But looking at it now, the situation doesn't seem to be the case. !"

"Eating so many Japanese and puppet troops in one bite, even if we use tricks, the independent regiment will suffer a great loss. The devil must know this truth."

"In terms of strength, not to mention that the devils still have two mopping forces left, even if there is only one mopping up troop, the overall strength is still above us."

"Ono ordered the reinforcements to go back halfway. On the one hand, it was because there was too little time, and on the other hand, it was not because he was preparing for the continuation of the siege tomorrow, accumulating energy!"

Cheng Xiao's face also became serious, and he replied with a frown, "I'll give the order right away!"

An hour later, the independent regiment, dragging a large number of lightly and severely wounded, began to retreat.

The head of the regiment, Wang Ping, withdrew with the Second Battalion, and Cheng Xiao rushed over with a serious face while holding a few pieces of paper.

"Captain, the losses and casualties have been counted. Even if we have the advantage in firepower, the losses are still very large, especially in the final battle to eliminate a thousand devils. The ratio of casualties is almost one to one!"

"The whole regiment sacrificed a total of 592 people, 219 people were seriously injured and lost combat effectiveness, more than 800 people were slightly injured, and more than a battalion was directly lost!"

"The casualties on the Chief of Staff's side are unclear, but there must be. I estimate that we lost more than 1000 people directly tonight!"

Wang Ping frowned and asked back: "That is to say, there are only about a thousand combat troops left in the main force!"

"Yes, head!" Cheng Xiao replied with a melancholy face.

I have about a thousand people left, but the Japanese and puppet troops still have more than 6000 people.More importantly, the [-]-day puppet army was not only equipped with a mountain artillery brigade and a field artillery brigade, but also specially strengthened an independent heavy artillery brigade!
Faced with such a huge disparity in strength, Wang Ping's bad premonition grew even stronger.

Then he ordered Cheng Xiao: "The troops speed up and quickly retreat to the station!"

"The reconnaissance platoon will set off immediately, bring a radio station, and investigate the movements of the remaining two mopping-up troops of the Japanese puppet army. If they do not retreat and continue to sweep towards the garrison, they must cooperate with the local troops and guerrillas to hold them back. How long will it take?"

At the headquarters of the Japanese Army Brigade in Laiyuan City, Major General Ono, who was waiting anxiously, finally received a piece of information forwarded by Nakamura, about Lieutenant Aoba of Hongqiao Village.

"General, that's all there is to the content of the telegram. Because the Eighth Route Army is everywhere around Hongqiao Village, the reconnaissance troops dare not get too close. They can only see the traces of the bombing everywhere in Hongqiao Village and the Tuba Road going out from Hongqiao Village. transporting supplies and equipment."

"However, this can already prove that Lieutenant Aoba and his troops stationed in Hongqiao Village have encountered an accident!"

"More than 1000 imperial troops, [-] imperial alliance troops, and a large number of artillery! Such a powerful army is gone!" Major General Ono still had an expression of disbelief.

It took a full minute before the deputy chief of staff asked loudly, "Can any of you tell me how Tubalu did it?"

Seeing that his subordinates kept their heads down and did not speak, or shook their heads to express their ignorance, Major General Ono suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness, and then he cursed loudly like an angry lion.

"Ba Ge Ya Lu, I don't know what to ask. What does the empire support you for? Eat shit! Hurry up and check it out. I'll ask the staff department and the intelligence department to give me an explanation after dawn!"

"Also! Immediately contact Kato Colonel and ask him how the situation is going there?"

"Hi!" All the subordinates did not dare to stay in the war room for one more minute, and rushed out immediately.

Today is destined to be a tragic day for Ono.

The Communications Staff Officer came back within a few minutes of leaving, with a heavy face, hesitating in front of Ono, not knowing how to report.

"Speak up if you have something to say, hesitating, how decent!" Major General Ono was already in a bad mood, and the communication staff's reaction directly made him angry, and then he gave the other party a hard look and cursed.

"Hi! It's a telegram from Colonel Kato, and it's a farewell telegram!" The communications staff replied with a guilty expression.
