Sun Desheng's enthusiasm was poured cold water on him, and he felt very depressed.
This time, after all, the Japanese cavalry regiment was eliminated. He soon became happy and started to collect the Japanese trophies.
In this battle, the Japanese cavalry regiment was completely wiped out. Unfortunately, most of the horses were killed and wounded in the battle, and only 536 intact horses were captured.
Most of the baggage was also blown up, but the amount captured was still considerable.
Sun Desheng held the captured saber of Inoue Kamakura, captain of the Japanese cavalry regiment, and couldn't put it down.
This saber is not only very sharp, but also very beautifully decorated. The silver handle is also engraved with the bright red word Yuci.
He took the saber and looked at it carefully. He couldn't help but make a few chopping movements and said, "I keep this saber."
Xu Dalong was too lazy to pay attention to him and said: "Hurry up, pack your things, assemble the team, and return to the base."
Independent regiment headquarters.
The independent regiment had just fought a beautiful blocking battle, and because of its proactive attack, it forced the Japanese army to give up its attack on the headquarters' logistics. It received a commendation from its superiors. The entire regiment's officers and soldiers were beaming with joy.
While the entire independent group was having a collective dinner to celebrate the victory, a telegram from Xu Dalong and others arrived.
Zhao Gang took Xu Dalong's telegram and read excitedly: "Dear regiment leader, our unit went through several battles from the 5th to the 7th of this month and annihilated more than 1,800 Japanese infantry. The cavalry regiment that captured the Japanese army included a regiment headquarters, three cavalry brigades, an artillery squadron, and a baggage squadron, with a total of 2,075 people. The captured materials are being counted.
Please rest assured, head of the regiment, that our Mawushan guerrillas are confident of repelling the Japanese army's massive attack on the Mawushan base area.
Mawushan guerrilla captain Xu Dalong, deputy captains Sun Desheng and Wang Chengzhu.
Today. "
Hearing this, the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment burst into warm applause.
Li Yunlong and others were very happy and reported the contents of Xu Dalong's telegram to the brigade commander.
The brigade commander now had great confidence in Xu Dalong and the others, believing that they would be able to thwart the Japanese army's conspiracy to attack the Mawushan base area. However, he did not expect that Xu Dalong and others would move so fast. They had just finished attacking the Japanese army's airport and carried out two consecutive large-scale attacks. In a huge battle, thousands of Japanese troops were annihilated, and the only cavalry regiment of the Japanese army in Shanxi was completely annihilated. It was a great victory.
The brigade commander reported to the headquarters to give the Mawushan guerrillas an army-wide notification award.
The Mawushan guerrillas achieved brilliant results and once again won the high attention of the headquarters leaders.
You must know that the Japanese army is very powerful in combat. Xu Dalong and his small guerrillas can easily annihilate a Japanese army brigade or even an entire regiment.
Especially this time, the Japanese cavalry regiment, which had high mobility and powerful combat effectiveness, had caused great harm to the anti-Japanese armed forces in Shanxi, but was completely annihilated by the Mawushan guerrillas. Not only did it give the Japanese army a The heavy blow also greatly boosted the morale of the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians.
The head of the headquarters has asked Xu Dalong to report to the headquarters many times. Unfortunately, it is always impossible to do so due to various reasons. He also feels very sorry.
The head of the headquarters was very concerned about the Mawushan guerrillas and sympathized with their difficulties. He believed that they had annihilated so many Japanese troops and the guerrillas themselves must have been severely damaged.
In order to allow the guerrillas to recuperate and restore their former combat effectiveness, we have specifically approved that they do not need to hand over the seized weapons, ammunition and other materials at the current stage, and their superiors will not assign other tasks to them for the time being, allowing them to go all out to carry out the task. Build up the troops well and consolidate the Mawushan base area.
Big Willow Village.
Xu Dalong and others captured more than 500 war horses at one time. Adding the war horses previously owned by the guerrillas, the total number of war horses has reached more than 1,300, not including a large number of pack horses.
Xu Dalong and others basically relied on cavalry in their battles. They tasted the benefits and decided to expand the cavalry force again.
Since the Mawushan guerrillas are currently organized into one brigade, they can only add a cavalry sub-brigade below, with nine cavalry squadrons, and every three cavalry squadrons are organized into a comprehensive cavalry squadron.
In addition, there are also artillery squadrons and baggage squadrons, under the unified command of Sun Desheng.
The total strength of the Mawushan Cavalry Group is 1,426. The infantry of the Mawushan Guerrilla Group has grown to nine squadrons, which are also organized into infantry groups, with three comprehensive infantry squadrons, an artillery squadron, and a baggage squadron, with a strength of 1,580. Wang Chengzhu unified command.
Today, the number of various artillery pieces of the Mawushan guerrillas is very considerable. This time, three artillery squadrons have been established, which are jointly organized into an artillery comprehensive squadron and are under the unified command of the brigade headquarters.
Taking advantage of the temporary inability of the Japanese army to launch a large-scale attack on the Mawushan base, Xu Dalong, Sun Desheng and Wang Chengzhu issued a month-long troop training mission.
The Spring Festival of 1941 is coming, and Xu Dalong and others have already begun to prepare for the New Year.
During the Chinese New Year, one has to spend a large amount of money to honor the superiors. Nowadays, the Mawushan guerrilla family has a big business and has many places to spend money. It is really distressing to spend a large amount of money all at once. So they opened up the idea of Japanese and puppet troops.
Xu Dalong wrote five handwritten letters and asked Zheng Xirong to try to deliver them to the Japanese military police in the five counties around the Mawushan base area.
Except for Guancheng County, which had given 10,000 oceans last time, and only asked them to come up with 10,000 oceans this time, the other four counties must give 20,000 oceans to the guerrillas to celebrate the New Year.
Otherwise, the Mawushan guerrillas will come to pick it up in person, and by then the amount will not be as simple as 20,000 oceans.
After the Japanese gendarmerie captains received Xu Dalong's letter, the gendarmerie captains of Wancheng County, Xinhe County and Juma County did not dare to provoke the Mawushan guerrillas, so they sent people to send these oceans. .
Dongxiang County is home to the Japanese 83rd Regiment Headquarters and two infantry brigades. It considers itself to have strong military strength and does not want to take advantage of the Mawushan guerrillas at all.
There were nearly two thousand Japanese troops stationed in Yinping County, as well as many puppet troops. They also felt confident in holding the county and ignored Xu Dalong's threat.
After 35 days of training, the Mawushan guerrillas have been fully tempered and enhanced their combat effectiveness.
Xu Dalong and others have such a powerful armed force and are preparing to train with the Japanese and puppet troops.
Therefore, four infantry squadrons from Sun Desheng's cavalry brigade, Wang Chengzhu's infantry brigade, and the Mawushan guerrilla artillery comprehensive squadron were dispatched to prepare for Dongxiang County.
Xu Dalong wrote a handwritten letter to the Japanese army asking for new year's expenses, and reported it to Qianye Xunyi. Qianye Xunyi was very angry and couldn't help but pull out his command knife and cut off a corner of the desk, and then he let out a little sigh. Bad breath.
Even if he is angry, Chiba Xunyi is still a rational person. Now that he has insufficient troops, and the cavalry regiment sent to assist them has been completely destroyed, he has no confidence to compete with Xu Dalong and others.
He felt extremely sad, but had no choice but to call the chief of staff and Yan Guiwu to discuss the matter.
Yan Guiwu has learned his lesson now. When Qianye Xunyi asked him what his opinion was, he said he had not considered it well.
After Qianye Xunyi came up with his idea, he kept flattering him and said that the division leader was wise.
In short, he no longer came up with any ideas. He knew he would be slapped in the face, but he was not stupid enough to stick his face out and let the Mawushan guerrillas give him a good beating.
Yan Guiwu is now completely convinced. He simply cannot afford to offend the Mawushan guerrillas.
The Japanese cavalry regiment was so fierce. They were killed on the road before they even arrived at the battlefield. The combat effectiveness of the Mawushan guerrillas was simply unparalleled.
Yan Guiwu swore in his heart that he would never provoke the Mawushan guerrillas again.
Chiba Xunyi discussed with the chief of staff for a long time, but couldn't come up with any decent ideas, so he turned his attention to Yan Guiwu.
Qianye Xunyi said: "Yan Sang, how do you think we should deal with this matter?
Yan Guiwu immediately said: "Beizi is a little confused right now and can't think of any good ideas. I would like to ask Your Excellency the Division Commander and Your Excellency the Chief of Staff to make a decision. I will resolutely obey the orders of Your Excellency the Division Commander."
Qianye Xunyi had discovered Yan Guiwu's current changes. He was now out of ideas. Seeing Yan Guiwu's evasion, he was really angry. He reached out and slapped the table and said angrily: "Yan Sang, Da Nippon Huang The army attaches so much importance to you and spends so much money to arm you and feed you. At the critical moment, it is of no use at all. What is the use of you? Do you, the division commander of Huang Xiejun, no longer want to do it? If you No, there are many people who want to do it.”
Yan Guiwu saw that Qianye Xunyi was serious. If he didn't come up with some decent ideas, he might not be able to do it.
In fact, he had already thought of an idea, but he had sworn not to tell anyone about it.
Now that he couldn't shirk it anymore, he decided to give Chiba Xunichi another idea, but before coming up with an idea, he must first leave a way out.
He said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I have a suggestion. Of course, this suggestion is for your reference only. If the idea is not good, please don't blame me, Division Commander."
Qianye Xunyi had no idea at all now. He said, "You can just say whatever you want. I won't blame you for whether what you say is right or wrong."
Yan Guiwu received Qianye Xunyi's guarantee, and then said: "Your Excellency, division commander, although the Huang Army has added two thousand troops, it is still not enough to compete with the Mawushan guerrillas. The Mawushan guerrillas have captured a large number of War horses, their cavalry force has grown a lot. With our current strength, it may be difficult to destroy the Mawushan guerrillas.
Now they are asking for the annual fee, which is indeed extortion, but if they are not given, they will attack the county. Although there are still many Yellow Army troops and low-ranking troops in Dongxiang County and Yinping County, I am afraid they will not It will be difficult to defend the county seat, and the losses will be even more severe.
In my humble opinion, we might as well agree to their conditions and buy time for us to gather our troops. "
In fact, Qianye Xunyi thought so too, but he couldn't talk about this matter himself. It would really damage Huang Jun's majesty. Once word spread, it would seriously affect Qianye Xunyi's glorious image.
If it was Yan Guiwu who made the suggestion, that would be a different matter.
A traitor is shameless and has no face. It is more appropriate for Yan Guiwu to have the reputation of being afraid of guerrillas.
Qianye Xunyi immediately agreed with Yan Guiwu's opinion, praised him for being very loyal to Huang Jun, and said that he would leave this matter to Yan Guiwu.
