Although the little devils were forced to retreat towards the village under the cover of crop fields, they would never give up because their purpose of going to reinforce Sanyuan County had not yet been achieved.
About an hour later, an order came from the general headquarters of the attack on Sanyuan County, saying that the attack on Sanyuan County was successful, Captain Xiao's team had all occupied the county seat, and ordered Captain Yu to continue to hold on to block the attack.
At this moment, the Japanese who came for reinforcements launched another attack. This time, the Japanese and the Manchurian troops came together. A dozen people in a row, thirty meters apart, took turns attacking under the cover of the crop fields.
The battle was very fierce. The Japs rushed to the Sifang Platform twice. A group of Japs had already crossed the Sifang Platform from the road, trying to surround them on three sides.
At this critical moment, Director Xunyang and his men rushed out from the south side of the road and immediately gave the Japs a severe blow, relieving the danger of Sifangtai. The Japs and the Manchurian Army retreated to the village.
However, the team led by Director Xunyang also suffered heavy casualties. Half of the brothers were killed or injured. Director Xunyang was also slightly injured, but he still fought off the little Japs.
The three teams gathered together. Yu Chenglong ordered Director Xunyang to withdraw first with the wounded, while he and Deputy Captain Li remained at Sifangtai.
Immediately sent someone to report the battle situation to the commander-in-chief, saying that the situation in Sifangtai was critical and requesting retreat. Yu Chenglong's intention was obvious, that is, he hoped that the team attacking Sanyuan County should retreat immediately to reduce casualties.
More than an hour later, there was still no movement from the little devil. When Yu Chenglong looked at his watch, it was already twelve o'clock. After discussing with Deputy Captain Li, he felt that the Japanese might want to choose other paths to support Sanyuan County.
"There is a small road to the south of the village, which can also detour back to the main road. The Japanese may want to go around there. Immediately order Captain Fang to lead a team to stop the attack, and you will follow up.
But don't fight hard, just be able to hold them back. I'll stay here and send someone to the village to find out. If it's really as we estimated, I'll go around from behind and knock him. Act now! "
Yu Chenglong gave an order to Deputy Captain Li, and Deputy Captain Li Baozhong quickly led the team there. Captain Fang, who was still hiding in the crops under the road, also led the team.
Not long after, the brother who went to the village to inquire about information came back and reported that the Japanese had indeed taken a detour and left the village. Yu Chenglong asked all the brothers to withdraw from their positions and run to catch up with the Japanese.
As soon as the Japanese team was spotted, gunshots rang out in front of them. Yu Chenglong ordered the team to attack quickly to hold back the enemy.
The little Japanese were once again attacked from both sides and hid in the crop fields. Yu Chenglong also ordered his brothers to hide and confront the enemy.
At this time, he received an order from the general headquarters and asked Yu Chenglong to lead the team to retreat along the route planned by the general commander and them in advance, move closer to the retreat direction of the large forces, and then lead the team into the mountains.
After receiving the order, Yu Chenglong asked each team to harass the enemy and then retreat immediately. He originally wanted to continue to tangle with the little devil to avoid unnecessary casualties.
The Japanese who had just recovered wanted to take action again. Yu Chenglong led his brothers to attack them hard. When the little Japanese hid again, he led his men to quickly withdraw from the battle.
After the three teams met at the northeast corner of Sifangtai, Yu Chenglong ordered the brothers to mount their horses and retreat quickly into the mountains. Because the little devil couldn't figure out the intention of blocking the team, he didn't pursue it.
In this battle, more than 30 people in Yu Chenglong's team were killed and more than 30 people were injured. More than 20 Japs and more than 30 Manchurian troops were wiped out, and more than 40 were injured. The losses on both sides were heavy.
When the team evacuated to only twenty or thirty miles away from the commander-in-chief and others, the brother responsible for exploring the front came to report that a situation had been discovered in the front.
It turns out that more than 30 deserters from the police force who escaped from Sanyuan County were found on the edge of "Jiangfa Tun" four miles ahead. What should I do if I ask for instructions? Yu Chenglong ordered Deputy Captain Li to lead people to capture them all alive.
Deputy Captain Li Baozhong took the order and immediately went to attack. When Yu Chenglong and others arrived later, Li Baozhong and others captured all the deserters alive without firing a shot.
When Yu Chenglong saw these remnant soldiers who had long lost their combat effectiveness, he asked Director Xunyang to interrogate them one by one and select those who could defect to the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces or who were not wholeheartedly following the Japanese devils. Go home or do Fa-rectification on the spot.
Following Yu Chenglong's instructions, Director Xunyang conducted several rounds of interrogations and finally selected nearly twenty people to surrender. Most of the rest were shot on the spot by him.
Although Yu Chenglong was a little dissatisfied with Director Xunyang killing too many people, the matter was done and he did not ask any more questions. He directed the brothers to retreat to his own secret camp in the mountains along the direction of the commander-in-chief's team.
As soon as he arrived at the station, he received an order from the commander-in-chief, asking Yu Chenglong and other brigade leaders to go to the headquarters for a meeting. It was really urgent, so Yu Chenglong went there immediately.
When they arrived at the general headquarters, Captain Xiao came to greet them and brought Yu Chenglong and the others to the general headquarters. Commander-in-Chief Yang did not hold a meeting immediately, but asked General Political Commissar Qin Gang to take the participants to see the trophies.
This battle has indeed gained a lot. There are many weapons that the team has never used before, such as mountain cannons, grenade launchers, heavy machine guns, mines, etc. There are also two unopened radios and walkie-talkies, which makes everyone Very eye-opening.
Next comes the meeting. The meeting mainly summarized the Battle of Miyuan and issued commendation orders from superiors, which made the participants very excited.
The General Headquarters and the Political Department sent people to analyze the significance and lessons learned from the Sanyuan Battle from a military and political perspective. The meeting was very encouraging, and each brigade also made a statement while summarizing their experience. .
"Comrades, today's meeting was a good one. The great victory of Mihara demonstrated the majesty of our Manbei Corps and demonstrated our strong combat effectiveness.
It is of great significance from a political and military perspective. It deserves our careful summary and vigorous publicity. In particular, we must send people to publicize and agitate among the people and create momentum.
After this meeting, we will hold a larger-scale celebration meeting to further promote the significance of the Mihara Victory, boost morale, and lay a solid political and military foundation for greater victory in the next step.
After returning home, each brigade must carefully summarize their experience and publicize the great strategic significance of this battle. The General Headquarters and the Political Department must cooperate with each other to carefully prepare for this celebration meeting. Now, I would like to ask Commander-in-Chief Yang to give us a speech. Everyone is welcome! "
Political Commissar Qin Gang took the lead in applauding. His face was glowing red and he was full of enthusiasm. It was obvious that he was really happy. Commander Yang was also in agitated mood, but after this battle, he had obviously lost a lot of weight.
