Just when the Suzuki Regiment was being pursued all the way by several regiments of the 358th Brigade, plus the quick reaction force led by Kong Jie.
On the other side, the mixed mechanical brigade of the Nishino Regiment that took the lead in reinforcing Xiaonanzhuang was also being pursued by the fast troops led by Li Yunlong.
Of course, it's completely different.
The Japanese officers of the Nishino Regiment are obviously much smarter than the Japanese officers of the Suzuki Regiment.
At this time, the mixed mechanical brigade of the Nishino Regiment, mixed with dozens of military vehicles, was hurriedly turning in.
It was said to be a strategic shift, but what appeared at this time was somewhat of a panicked escape.
Seeing that the Eighth Route Army behind them was pursuing them, and these damn Eighth Route Army did not know where they got armored vehicles and even tanks, including modified combat vehicles, it was difficult to get rid of them completely.
Captain Muto found his captain and put forward his own suggestions:
"Your Excellency, Captain, news has come from the headquarters that the Chief of Staff and others have abandoned Baode County and are in the process of full transfer.
We don't have any reinforcements now, so we can only find a way to completely get rid of the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army in front of us.
It's just that the Eighth Route Army has a lot of mechanized combat vehicles. If we want to get rid of them completely, I'm afraid it won't be that easy. I suggest this, this... this way, we can definitely get rid of the pursuit..."
Muto cooed in Guizi Shaozuo's ear for a while.
Shaozuo suddenly realized it and immediately adopted Muto's suggestion without hesitation. He turned around and issued the order to make arrangements.
Soon, on the battlefield where the soldiers were chasing, a scene that shocked everyone happened:
I saw the Japanese's mechanical mixed group hurriedly escaping all the way. Suddenly, several teams fell out of the army.
There were people wearing Japanese military uniforms and some wearing puppet military uniforms, but without exception, after falling behind, they all dropped the guns and ammunition in their hands on the ground like hot potatoes.
Among them, the puppet soldiers quickly raised the white flags they had prepared early in the morning, raised them above their heads, and shook them vigorously.
He also shouted with a loudspeaker:
"Comrades of the Eighth Route Army, we surrendered. We are willing to surrender. I heard that your Eighth Route Army treats prisoners preferentially, and we are willing to be prisoners!"
The little devils mixed in with the team could not speak Chinese, and they also shouted in Japanese. They had no weapons in their hands, and they also held white flags to represent surrender.
Not only that, they also held a white flag high with their hands empty, and dispersed in chaos to stop the pursuing Eighth Route Army.
What are you doing?
When the two sides met, the Japanese and puppet soldiers just knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy.
The puppet army officers among them immediately acted as translators:
"Eighth Route Commander, Taijun, bah, the little devil said he was willing to surrender. I heard that our Eighth Route Army treats prisoners preferentially. Please, Eighth Route Commanders, please don't break your promise!"
This sudden scene really confused the soldiers who were the first to pursue them.
You have to say there was fraud. These Japanese and puppet soldiers took the initiative to throw away their guns and ammunition. It seemed that they were really surrendering.
But you have to say it's no problem. With these little Japs standing in the way, the Japs from the follow-up brigade will soon run away.
The company commander who led the team saw that this was nothing, and immediately left a platoon behind to receive the surrendered prisoners, and then continued the pursuit with the rest of the team.
In front, the Japanese Shaozuo who was escaping with his team turned his head and saw that the surrendering warriors had blocked part of the Eighth Route Army.
But there was still a part of the Eighth Route Army that was catching up again. He quickly arranged several teams again and repeated his old plan to buy time for the main force to move in.
He did this again and again, and his daughter's plan succeeded.
Faced with the evacuated Japanese troops one after another, there were even some armored vehicles and cars that surrendered on their own initiative.
When they met the Eighth Route Army soldiers, they kowtowed and begged for mercy. They even pulled the trouser legs of the Eighth Route Army soldiers and refused to let go.
Wipe all the tears on the clothes of the soldiers.
This disgusted the soldiers.
You can just say that the two devils are the enemy, and everyone will get used to it.
It just so happens that the little devils in the West Wild Alliance are all top-notch, but they have no backbone like these second-rate devils.
Especially those little devils who had been brainwashed by Captain Muto and heard that the lives of those captured by the Eighth Route Army were quite good. Because they had had such a hard time in the army in the past few years, they even had a look of hope on their faces. look.
They probably also thought that when they arrived at the territory of the Eighth Route Army, as prisoners who received preferential treatment, they could improve their lives!
In the end, under Muto's suggestion, the Japanese captain took the initiative to abandon the puppet troops and added some injured Japanese troops, leaving them all behind to stop the Eighth Route Army's attack. After the pursuit of troops.
Sure enough, the main force of the entire mixed brigade successfully broke out.
In terms of their ability to escape and save their lives, the little Japs from the Nishino Alliance are indeed far better than the Japs from the Suzuki Alliance.

Lao Li sings these few lines, and it’s time to rise to the occasion! "
Captain Liu smiled and said: "I've heard that you, Lao Li, have been studying culture these years, and now you can see it.
It’s just Lao Li, isn’t it a bit irrelevant for you to sing about the empty city strategy?
Where did this empty city come from?
Could it be that if the little Japs from the West Field Regiment evacuated on their own initiative and left Baode County empty, and then it was occupied by our army, would it be considered an empty city? "
Li Yunlong shook his head and said:
"The empty city strategy I'm talking about is not the empty city strategy used by the Japanese, but the empty city strategy we are going to sing next!"
Captain Liu asked in confusion: "We are going to sing the empty city strategy? How to sing it?"
"Hey, that's a big show, just watch it!"
Li Yunlong smiled, but did not explain.
As the evening drew to a close, the fighting on all sides came to an end.
Nishino, an old turtle, ran fast enough. After being attacked in Baode County, he decisively chose to evacuate. He came up with a plan to escape from his shell and directly applied oil to the soles of his feet.
In addition, the mixed brigade of the West Wild Alliance also used rogue methods to evacuate the main force.
As for the rampant and arrogant field elite of the Mongolian Army, the Suzuki Regiment met a rather miserable end.
The leading mechanized combat squadron was wiped out in Xiaonanzhuang.
Immediately afterwards, the reinforcing vanguard brigade was almost wiped out by the heartless artillery.
The main force of the Suzuki Regiment that arrived later fell completely into the large-scale pocket formation set up by the soldiers of the 358th Brigade in Xiaonanzhuang, and was surrounded and annihilated by many parties.
Even the Japanese's flying troop reinforcements could not turn the tide of the war.
The Eighth Route Army regiments attacked rapidly, and the battle lasted for more than three hours before it came to an end.
In the end, less than 1/5 of the remaining soldiers of the entire Nishino Regiment broke out.
The unlucky Nishino Daizuo tried to escape in a military car, but was hit by a howitzer installed on an armored vehicle of the Eighth Route Army.
After the explosion, Nishino Daizuo was very lucky to survive, and was immediately captured alive.
The soldiers from the Iron Triangle saw that this old devil's military rank was definitely a big fish.
Without saying a word, according to the old rules of the Iron Triangle, after being knocked unconscious, he was tied up with five pieces of flowers and carried away like a pig.
…
At night, the Northwest Military Region Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
The room was brightly lit, and the cadres were holding a meeting to make a post-war summary of the battle to annihilate the Suzuki Regiment, defeat the Nishino Regiment, and capture Baode County and Guzhen.
At this time, the topic shifted to the captured old Japanese Suzuki.
When they thought of the countless crimes committed by this old devil, the cadres were all filled with indignation.
Especially this Suzuki unit, which once caused a tragic massacre in Baode County. As the executioner, the old Japanese Suzuki must be pulled out to give an explanation to the people.
Li Yunlong then made a suggestion: "Take this bastard old devil to the market entrance and behead him to vent his anger on our fellow villagers!
We have to let the little devil take a good look at it. We Chinese are not easy to bully. "
"Well said, I agree with Lao Li's suggestion!" Then many cadres agreed.
The tradition of the Eighth Route Army is to treat prisoners preferentially, but this does not mean that it will forgive those executioners whose hands are stained with blood.
Even Brigadier Zhang made a direct statement: "Suzuki, this old devil, deserves to be killed!"
At this time, Li Yunlong changed the topic and continued:
"We captured Suzuki, an old devil, alive. There has been quite a stir, and the little devil will definitely receive the news.
Tomorrow we will take this devil to the vegetable market and behead him, why not take this opportunity to make a fuss.
Call him an empty city plan! "
The key point finally came. Captain Liu couldn't wait to ask: "Old Li, everyone is here. Now you can tell everyone how this empty city plan is going to work, right?"
Li Yunlong looked at Kong Jie.
Kong Jie said happily: "Old Li, this is your chance to shine, it's up to you to do it!"
"Haha, then I won't be polite!"
Li Yunlong immediately explained: "What is our purpose in this empty city plan?
Therefore, setting up a suspicion formation will scare him to death.
Why have the Japanese never dared to relax their military blockade in the Baode area? What we are afraid of is that our troops from Yan'an will march eastward and join our troops!
Let's make some fuss by beheading the old devil Suzuki.
Make the noise louder and let the troops from Yan'an, our 358th Brigade, and local troops enter the city with torches at night with great fanfare.
At first light the next day, we set off in the direction of NMG, walked halfway and then sneaked back around.
The next night the same actions as last night were repeated.
After walking three or four times, at least one of his troops would be able to get out.
Let's see if he is afraid of the troops stationed in Mongolia! "
The cadres were stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
Kong Jie continued: "After this empty city plan is over, whether the Japanese believe it or not, at least they will have doubts in their hearts, and they will even mistakenly believe that we have really transferred a large number of troops from Yan'an into northern Shanxi.
Next, we can launch attacks according to the plan to various Japanese strongholds, counties, and towns around Datong to attract the attention of the Japanese army and force the Mongolian troops stationed in Datong to continuously mobilize troops for reinforcements.
At that time, it will be the best time for us to take advantage of the opportunity to surprise Datong! "
Captain Liu praised: "What an empty city plan. It turns out that's what it is. Lao Li and Lao Kong, you really have it!"
Captain Zhao of the 716th Regiment added: "Then I think we have to hurry up and do this. In the Xiaonanzhuang area, we have just finished this battle, and there should be a lot of remaining Japs' informants.
We might as well gather all the villagers around Xiaonanzhuang and hold a public trial with the help of Suzuki, an old devil.
Then announce to the outside world that our Eighth Route Army is going to rest for a few days and take the opportunity to carry out this empty city plan to completely paralyze the little devil's judgment.
Wait until the situation is completely chaotic before launching the final surprise attack plan! "
The teacher finally made the decision:
"Okay, I think that's the arrangement!"
