In Shenxianling, the signal that the Japanese are sparse is very obvious. Even Gao Wancheng can understand it. He just wants to say hello to you, me and everyone!
"Old Chu, the Japanese have given us three days to evacuate Anping. They probably want to withdraw troops from the base area, but they are afraid that we will not cooperate with them. What do you think?"
We have been fighting for more than ten days, and the base area has suffered heavy losses. The summer grain harvest is about to begin. If we continue to fight like this, the people in the base area will lose their harvest!
Lao Gao hoped that the Japs would evacuate quickly, and he would get the benefits he deserved. It was not impossible to have a tacit understanding with the Japs, so he asked Chu Xiong to tell him that Chu Xiong had the big idea in the military field.
"Old Gao, of course I understand what the Japanese mean. It's just that we cut off their logistics. They can't fight anymore, they don't want to fight, and they want to withdraw honorably. How can such a good thing in the world be possible?
Are they allowed to come to Liuzhen whenever they want and leave whenever they want? They are tired from playing, and I am just warming up! "
"Don't we have a few howitzers in our old camp? Damn it! This is our reply. Let Li Qing issue a message, vowing to live and die with Anping. If you want Anping, there is no way!"
"Order the Third Company of the Fourth Battalion to destroy all the roads out of Liu Town and lay mines along the way to make it difficult for the old Japanese in Hengshan to move!"
"The sixteen-word policy of guerrilla warfare is: when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue! Inform mobile battalions and garrison battalions, including guard companies, cavalry companies, artillery battalions, and armed workers' teams in each village. The militia company launches a harassment war against the Japanese. As long as they retreat, we will chase them!"
"Order the Second and Third Battalions to find an opportunity to ambush the Japanese on their way back to Anping. From now on, all the troops of the Independent Regiment must pounce on the Hengshan Detachment like a pack of evil wolves, and bite them off if they can. Don't Afraid of casualties, I will replenish the troops as much as they are exhausted!"
Gao Wancheng looked at Chu Xiong as if he didn't know him. This was not his usual fighting style. He was usually very calculating. In a battle like this, he would normally choose to fight with the Japanese in a tacit understanding...
"Old Chu, this is not your style. You will suffer a lot from establishing a base like this."
Gao Wancheng asked puzzledly.
"Lao Gao, we must set a rule with the Japanese this time. This place in Liuzhen is a forbidden area for the Independent Regiment. I have thought about it before coming in to raid. Once you come, don't even think about leaving!"
Since ancient times, there has been no principle of guarding against thieves for thousands of miles. If the Japanese come and leave whenever they want, the base will never have peace!
Beat me, beat me to death. Only when you hit the Japanese do you have to tremble in your legs before entering Liuzhen! "
Gao Wancheng finally understood. Chu Xiong usually seemed approachable and harmless to humans and animals, but he was a person with a bottom line. He would not let go of the Japanese who challenged his bottom line.
"Okay, Lao Chu, I support your decision. I can't survive anymore. At worst, I will lose all my wealth and save it!"
"Enemies, when it's time to let go when fighting the devils, we must let go. We can't let the devils feel our pulse. Give us the order!"
Miyamoto was waiting for Chu Xiong's cooperation, but what he waited for was the rumbling sound of cannons. This was Chu Xiong's reply...
"Boom boom boom!"
"Boom boom boom!"
…
The seven 75mm field guns that had been used as a fort in the old camp suddenly launched a fierce bombardment at the Japanese at the foot of the mountain. The bombing made the Japanese in the Hengshan detachment howl like ghosts and wolves.
The artillery battalion's 24 thunder cannons and 32 mortars launched the most violent artillery bombardment against the Hengshan detachment since the war began. The artillery shells hit the Japanese as if they were free. In just two hours, the Japanese were killed and wounded. There were as many as five or six hundred people.
The Hengshan detachment began to shrink its defense line and continued to confront the Eighth Route Army. They were already stuck by the Eighth Route Army and could not move away at all unless they discarded all their baggage.
"Mr. Suzuki, Chu Xiong's troops are still very strong and are not as incapable of fighting as the Chief of Staff imagined;
Send electricity to several brigades that have gone to the countryside to clean up, and order them to withdraw to Liuzhen. We can no longer disperse our forces and be defeated by the Eighth Route Army one by one! "
“Send power to the headquarters and report the Eighth Route Army’s counterattack to the Chief of Staff;
After losing Anping, our troops' baggage was only enough to support us for a week, so we asked the Commander for tactical guidance. "
As a frontline commander, Yokoyama Kazuma has completely understood the reality. After the supply line was cut off, the Yokoyama detachment was on the verge of life and death!
Your Excellency, the Chief of Staff, still dreamed that the Eighth Route Army could fight a tacit war with the Imperial Army. Chu Xiong was not a good man and a believer. His great military exploits were all built on the heads of the Imperial Army.
At the First Army Headquarters, Xiao Zhuoyinan looked at Major General Miyamoto in disbelief. The war was beyond his control...
"Your Excellency, Commander, Chu Xiong's troops used no fewer than dozens of heavy artillery to launch a violent bombardment against the Hengshan detachment. The Imperial Army's soldiers and equipment suffered heavy losses."
Miyamoto could only report to Xiao Zhuoyinan realistically. Now it was no longer a matter of whether it could end with dignity, but whether the tens of thousands of warriors of the Hengshan detachment could safely evacuate Liuzhen.
The key Hengshan detachment no longer has tens of thousands of warriors!
"Bagayalu, where did Chuxiong get so many heavy artillery? Where did Chuxiong get so many troops?
There are at least 3,000 main troops in Anping City, Qinglong Mountain as well, and no less than 2,000 people in Liu Town. How many troops are there in the Independent Regiment? "
"Duanmu, what does your intelligence department do? You can't even figure out how many troops our opponent has? How can we fight this battle?"
Xiao Zhuoyi Nan roared again. He had a vague premonition that Chu Xiong had been tricked again this time. The most important thing now was to safely withdraw the Hengshan detachment from Liu Town. There was only one week of supplies left. This was Very dangerous signal!
"Miyamoto-kun, send planes to support Liu Town, bomb Chu Xiong's lair, and airdrop supplies to Hengshan Jun. Since Chu Xiong is shameless, then blow up Chu Xiong's lair!"
Xiao Zhuoyi'nan was completely furious. The general was so angry that he laid his body hundreds of miles away. He wanted to spread his monstrous anger towards Chu Xiong and his Liuzhen base.
"Your Majesty General, our aviation gasoline..."
Miyamoto was halfway through what he said when he was stopped by Xiao Zhuoyi's murderous eyes. At this time, the Commander did not want to hear such nonsense as a bomb emergency or a lack of aviation gasoline.
The commander's anger must be vented!
"Hey, Commander, I'll make arrangements right away! Bomb Pingliu Town!"
Miyamoto's words made Xiao Zhuoyi's face look better, and he waved his hand, indicating that Miyamoto and others could go out.
After everyone left, Xiao Zhuoyi Nan slumped down on the chair...
A few hours later, more than thirty planes flew over Shenxianling. They dropped aerial bombs at Shenxianling like an old hen dropping bombs. The explosions caused dust to fly and rocks to fly everywhere.
"Onboard!"
"Long Live His Majesty the Emperor!"
…
Seeing the air warriors showing off their power, the Eighth Route Army was unable to fight back due to the bombing. The Japanese soldiers of the Hengshan detachment raised their arms and cheered, as if they had been given blood...
The next airdrop of supplies made them cheer for joy, forgetting everything, and shouting "Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
As soon as the Japanese plane left, artillery fire from the Eighth Route Army came. Before the supplies could be recovered, they were blown to pieces by the Eighth Route Army's field artillery;
"Bagaya road!"
The old devil from Hengshan vomited out a mouthful of old blood...
