In Majia Village, the military workers and militia companies who were persisting in guerrilla warfare in the tunnels suddenly discovered that the Japanese had withdrawn...
Not only the Japs in Majia Village withdrew, but the Japs from several surrounding villages took turns covering the retreat. They withdrew in such a hurry that they didn't even have time to burn the village, so they withdrew in a hurry.
The Japs in the base areas of the Third and Second Battalions also evacuated in unison. At first they couldn't believe it, thinking that it was a trap set by the Japs. It wasn't until a small number of militiamen were sent out of the village to investigate that they could be sure.
"Comrades, the Japanese have withdrawn! We have won!"
"Folks, the Japanese have withdrawn!"
"Dad, the Japanese have withdrawn, they have won..."
"mother……"
Countless people rushed to tell each other, and countless people cried with joy. With their own efforts, by digging tunnels and laying landmines, and by relying on their will to fight the devils to the end, they drove away the devils and defended their homes.
Although they also paid a lot of price, they also eliminated more Japs, making it difficult for the Japs to move forward in the village. They were no longer lambs to be slaughtered, and they could say "no" to the Japs!
Once a person has the weight of dignity, he will never let it go. Either fight or die!
They would rather fight and die than kneel down and be bullied by the Japanese. This is the magic of people's war.
The fellow villagers in the base area did not relax their vigilance. As soon as the Japs retreated, they began to work tirelessly to repair the tunnels destroyed by the Japs and re-bury mines. The mines were buried everywhere in the front and back of the village. No Japs were seen but no strings were attached!
The two battalions of Japanese soldiers scattered in various base areas finally completed their assembly. As soon as they counted the personnel, the two captains could not help but curse:
"Bagayalu, you are ashamed of His Majesty the Emperor, for dealing with some Tuballu and causing so many casualties among warriors!"
"Your Excellency Captain, Tubal Road is cunning and cunning. Their mines are buried everywhere. The warriors accidentally stepped on the mines. Not many jade pieces were broken. There were too many warriors whose legs were broken. One wounded person is needed. Three people will take care of them; as soon as our wounded are left alone, Tubal will come out of the tunnel and shoot at the imperial army..."
"Your Excellency Captain, Mr. Ohara is right. Tunnels on Tubal Road are dug everywhere. They are mysterious and sneaky, attacking the imperial army everywhere..."
The Japanese Lieutenant Colonel Hideyoshi Ando was so angry with the squadron commanders below that he continued to curse:
"Bagayalu, are you still the brave and invincible squadron leader of the imperial army? A few Tubalu have beaten you like this. You are not worthy of being called a warrior!"
"Anping City is under siege by the main force of the Eighth Route Army. Now is the time to prove your bravery. Kill the chicken and give it to me!"
Upon hearing this, several squadron leaders immediately stood up and expressed their stance:
"Long live the Holy War, long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
Ando nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, and directed the remaining 700 or so Japanese soldiers to rush to Anping City for reinforcements.
There are more than 700 people left in the Iteng Brigade, and the Kawakami Brigade is not much better. The full strength of the 1,100-man Brigade only has 815 people left, and there are many lightly wounded.
After the two brigades were assembled, they rushed to Anping City for reinforcements. Reinforcement was like putting out fire. The two brigades were one behind the other, two hours apart.
The western suburbs of Anping, the ambush position of the Second Battalion
The more than 1,700 people of the Second Battalion led by Zhang Yu have been waiting for a long time. The more than ten artillery batteries of the artillery battery have been adjusted for firing. Now the Second Battalion has strong soldiers and horses, not only the artillery battery, but also its own cavalry platoon.
The troops and firepower are enough to crush an unsatisfied Japanese brigade, and the third battalion is responsible for blocking another Japanese brigade, trapping one and eating the other!
Ando Hideyoshi led a large group of troops and plunged into the pocket of the Second Battalion. However, he had no awareness and was so crazy that he sat on a tall horse and said to the squadron leader Taro Ekaku:
"Jiang Jiaojun, we are still five kilometers away from Anping City. The gunfire of the Eighth Route Army attacking the city has been clearly heard. Please urge the troops to hurry up. There is no need to wait for the Kawakami Brigade!"
"Your Excellency, Captain, do you feel that this place is too quiet, and I am worried about an ambush?"
The old devil Jiang Jiao has a very keen sense of smell. After working at the grassroots level for a long time, he has already smelled the smell of danger. This sense of crisis comes from a person's subconscious mind.
Captain Ekaku's reminder made Ando feel uneasy. Cold sweat began to break out on his neck. Just as Ekaku had worried, it was too quiet!
"Bagayalu, lie down!"
Ando was a bachelor enough to give the order to lie down, but unfortunately it was too late. He entered Zhang Yu's pocket formation, and it was the same whether he was lying down or standing.
"Boom boom boom..."
The second battalion's artillery battery opened fire. Eight thunder cannons and 12 mortars fired wildly at the Japanese. The explosions knocked the Japanese upside down and caused heavy casualties.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Today's independent regiments use artillery bombardment from the beginning to conduct ambushes. The attack distance is longer, the flexibility is greater, and it is more concealable.
Under a burst of indiscriminate bombardment from the Second Battalion's artillery battery, the Japanese formation was in chaos. Each squadron had lost command and was fighting independently.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
Dozens of light and heavy machine guns from the Second Battalion began to fire wildly at the Japs. The Japs could not concentrate at all. A large number of Japs were killed and wounded, and those who were not killed were also thrown into disarray.
"Boom, boom..."
Ando's face turned pale white, and he could tell that this was the sound that could only be caused by a cavalry charge. The cavalry charge at this time would kill the infantry!
"Cavalry platoon, charge!"
"Signal Corps, blow the charge horn!"
Seeing that the Japanese were in complete chaos, Zhang Yu promptly issued the order to charge. There were shouts of killing everywhere in the valley. The Eighth Route Army ambushing on the mountains on both sides rushed down shouting all the way.
The cavalry platoon rushed over from the bottom of the pocket with an overwhelming force. Their sharp sabers made the Japanese tremble with fear. When the sabers passed by, huge heads were cut off, which scared the Japanese to the point of pissing.
"Amaterasu, bless you!"
"Your Majesty the Emperor, save your people!"
"Mom, I don't want to die!"
…
Don't think that all Japs are die-hard. They are also afraid of death, especially when their heads are cut off...
"Kill!"
"Come on, chop up these sons of bitches!"
The officers and soldiers of the second battalion rushed towards the panicked Japs from all directions. Under the fierce attack of the first round of firepower, more than half of the Japs had been killed or injured, especially the flying thunder cannon, which exploded into a large piece and shattered all the internal organs.
Thousands of shrapnel produced by the explosion left almost no Japs standing within a few dozen meters of the center of the explosion, causing them both death and injury;
This kind of coverage of killing makes the Japanese's superb combat skills useless. As long as they are within a few dozen meters of the center of the explosion, even the special forces are useless. Can they still survive if their internal organs are shattered?
"Ta-ta-ta..."
The encirclement of the Eighth Route Army is getting smaller and smaller, and there are fewer and fewer Japanese who are still resisting. Although their stubborn resistance has caused certain casualties to the Eighth Route Army, this cannot change their order of imminent destruction.
The cavalry platoon rushed into the group of Japs, with sabers flying. Those who stuck to each other would die, and those who were close to each other would die. The heads of the Japs who were killed rolled down. Many Japs did not die, but their souls had been frightened away...
