Nakata Kenhiro's small life meant big things. Nakata's brigade was chased and beaten for several kilometers by the Second Battalion. Weapons and equipment were thrown all over the mountains and plains. In the end, they ran away with hundreds of people.
The Second Battalion did not dare to pursue them too far because they did not know the enemy's situation. It would be tragic if a group of Japanese soldiers were killed along the way.
As a saying goes, don't chase the enemy when you're in trouble, and accept it when you see it. The second battalion captured more than 100 puppet soldiers along the way and eliminated no less than 200 Japanese. This record is already very good.
At least one squadron's equipment was seized, including three 92 heavy machine guns. The ammunition was also withdrawn and collected along the way, making a lot of money.
According to the previous division of labor with the First Battalion, neither the Second Battalion nor the Third Battalion entered the city. The Second Battalion was on guard against the Japanese in the north direction of Luzhou;
The third battalion was to guard against the Japs in the direction of Zezhou to the west, while the first battalion was responsible for evacuating Anping City.
This was the first county town captured by the Independent Regiment. A large amount of supplies were accumulated in Anping City. During this raid on Liu Town, more than half of the Japanese baggage was accumulated in Anping City;
There are more than one million rounds of bullets of all kinds, and artillery shells, grenade grenades, and melon grenades are piled up like mountains, making it impossible to count them all.
"Battalion Commander, you're rich, you're rich! All kinds of ammunition and food are piled up..."
The first company commander kept talking like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. No wonder he was so excited. When had he seen so much ammunition.
Zhou Qing was transferred to the regiment's security company as company commander, and his position was taken by Han Chao, who had come to support from the brigade headquarters. The brigade commander's effect of adding sand to the independent regiment was reflected.
The original 200 backbone were all veteran revolutionaries selected by the brigade commander. More than half had participated in the Long March, and the rest were also members of the Eighth Route Army who had joined Yanzhou when it was expanding its popularity. It was easy for these people to get ahead.
Now more than half of the independent regiment companies and platoon commanders are occupied by this group of backbones. Unless Chuxiong doesn't use them, only the battalion-level chief officers will be the group of people from the old seventh company.
Before Han Chao came to the Independent Regiment, he was the company commander of the main regiment under the brigade commander. After coming to the Independent Regiment, he served as the platoon commander. After being upgraded to the Independent Regiment, he returned to the position of company commander. In the current Independent Regiment, the shadow of the old Seventh Company has become more and more important. Faded.
Li Qing is also an old revolutionary, and he doesn’t care who becomes his company commander. Han Chao is also an old Red Army veteran from Hubei, Henan, and Anhui Province. Now he is very comfortable with it, and he laughed and cursed:
"Old Han, can you be a bit promising? You act like a country bumpkin who has never seen the world. You have to keep a close eye on this batch of ammunition. There are still scattered Japanese and puppet soldiers in the city. Don't let them take advantage of it. !”
"Battalion Commander, don't worry. These ammunition comrades are precious. No one can get close to them! When will we evacuate?"
Li Qing thought for a while and said:
"Don't worry. I will send people to mobilize the masses in the city first. The supplies will be transferred at night. You should make preparations before retreating."
Han Chao came here just to listen to the battalion commander's wishes. As expected, it was as he thought. The county town must be given up. The county town still cannot be defended at present. The right way is to accept it as soon as possible.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, a clear message from southeastern Shanxi instantly caused a sensation inside and outside the Great Wall, all over the country...
"Compatriots and comrades, our 386th Brigade Independent Regiment, with two battles and two victories, regained Anping County today, annihilated more than 700 people from the enemy's reinforcements Ando Brigade, defeated the Anping Garrison Brigade, wiped out more than 500 people from Nakata Brigade, and captured more than 100 puppet troops. , seized weapons, ammunition and military supplies piled up..."
This time, the Japs' large-scale raids on southeastern Shanxi have touched the hearts of the people across the country. It has been almost half a month, and finally good news has come. It was clearly broadcast, and it exploded in China in an instant!
"Selling newspapers, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army won the great victory of Anping, annihilated more than a thousand enemies, and recovered a county seat!"
"Selling newspapers, the Eighth Route Army launched a counterattack against the Japanese, and the May Day raids showed the first signs of victory!"
"Selling newspapers, Chuxiong's troops launched a counterattack against the Japanese, and restored the county seat..."
The Anping Victory Newspaper was so out of stock that even after printing three more issues, there was not enough to sell. Paper in Luoyang was expensive for a while...
"Bang!"
This is already the third teacup that the Commander has broken. It turns out that being the Commander's teacup is a high-risk industry.
"Bagayalu, does this bastard Kenyo Nakata still have the honor of being an imperial soldier?"
"Bagaya Road, one brigade can't even defend the county seat, I'm going to send him to a military court! Go and ask him why he doesn't have a caesarean section?"
"Bagayalu, the imperial army has lost all face due to him!"
After scolding Nakata Kenyo, he started scolding Yokoyama Kazuki. After scolding Yokoyama Kazuki, he cursed Yamamoto Kazuki and Duanmu...
Xiao Zhuoyi's roar could be heard throughout the headquarters. The reason why he was so angry was not because Nakata Kenyo lost Anping County, but because Nakata Kenyo, the bastard, did not withdraw from Anping City. A large amount of materials were destroyed, which is a serious attack on the enemy!
After the Eighth Route Army obtained this batch of supplies, the May Day raids had already failed;
If one continues to fight, the losses will only be greater. At first, he didn't know why to withdraw his troops from Liu Town, but the power supply to Anping City finally gave him a reason to withdraw his troops!
"Miyamoto-kun, Anping County must be recovered. This is a matter of the empire's face!"
After calming down, Xiao Zhuoyinan began to find reasons for withdrawing troops from Liuzhen, but the words could not come out of his mouth.
The reason why Miyamoto was able to win the trust of Xiao Zhuoyi Nan was that he was discerning. Knowing the elegant meaning of a stringed song was his strength. He took over the commander's words and said:
"Your Excellency, Commander, your decision is right. Anping County must be recovered. This bad start cannot be allowed. Compared with Anping City, Liu Town, a small town in the mountains, is not worth mentioning;
Around Anping County, the imperial army only had heavy troops in Liu Town, and its punitive raids on Chuxiong's troops had achieved good results;
I suggest that the Hengshan detachment be withdrawn from Liu Town and order Hengshan Jun to recover Anping City within three days! "
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhuoyi Nan nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Yo Xi, Miyamoto-kun's suggestion is right. Just do it this way. Chu Xiong's troops have suffered heavy losses. Order the Hengshan detachment to return to Anping. Defeat the Eighth Route Army in Anping City within three days and regain Anping!"
"Remember, this time the main goal is to recover Anping City. The main goal is to defeat the Eighth Route Army in Anping City. Don't pursue the poor invaders!"
Xiao Zhuoyi'an's intention is obvious, which is to tell Major General Miyamoto that the Hengshan detachment should not cause any more extraneous affairs or even cause sabotage in Liuzhen. It is best to have a tacit understanding with Chu Xiong's detachment and each get what they need.
Xiao Zhuoyi'nan just wants to regain Anping City now. There is no point in continuing this battle. He will turn a blind eye when the Eighth Route Army evacuates Anping City. Don't chase the poor invaders!
Major General Miyamoto understood Xiao Zhuoyi's thoughts very thoroughly, and he even thought of a clever way to fight a tacit understanding with the Chuxiong Division of the Eighth Route Army——
In response to the Eighth Route Army's call to regain Anping City, the Japanese First Army Headquarters also issued a call to recapture Anping City "within three days" - very arrogantly ordering the Hengshan detachment responsible for mopping up in Liu Town to return to Anping City within a limited time. Defeat the Eighth Route Army in Anping City within three days...
The rest depends on the reaction of the Eighth Route Army!
