The Japanese plane came to Wangjiawa again, and Xiao Zhuoyinan once again received a call for help from Yiyong Hengshan, which was similar to a farewell call;
After two nights of attacks, the Hengshan detachment only had more than 2,600 wounded and logistical personnel left, and no more than 1,500 warriors were truly capable of fighting.
The activity space of the Hengshan detachment was also compressed to the maximum extent by the Eighth Route Army. It is no exaggeration to say that a grenade could hit his headquarters. Hengshan Yiyong even hinted that he would destroy the regiment flag.
Xiao Zhuoyi Nan was not willing to accept that a field detachment was completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, so he sent the largest air support of the First Army during the day, a total of 32 aircraft!
Not only did they airdrop supplies to the besieged Hengshan detachment, but they also airborne 100 grassroots commanders to make up for the excessive casualties among the grassroots officers of the Hengshan detachment and the low morale of the troops.
At the enemy headquarters in front of the Independent Regiment, when a group of Japanese planes arrived, Chu Xiong and Zhong Guoliang were observing the enemy's situation with telescopes. The Japanese airdrop made Zhong Guoliang exclaim:
"Commander, look what's coming out from under the devil's big bird butt? It looks like a mushroom head!"
When Chu Xiong saw it, he couldn't help but applaud the old Japanese Xiao Zhuo's generosity, and praised the old Japanese:
“Damn, what a big deal!
Even the airborne officer's tactics were used. This was the trick used after the 106th Division was surrounded in the Battle of Xuejiangcheng. It's a pity that this is not Wanjialing! "
"Old Zhong, don't worry about them. Just inform the comrades to prepare for air defense. This is to deliver food to the independent regiment. Kill as many as they come!"
"Captain, do you want your comrades to shoot into the sky? Kill as many as you want!"
After hearing this, Chu Xiong shook his head and said:
"It's not necessary. There are dozens of planes overhead, comrades. You don't have to expose your comrades for a few people who are bound to die. Just huddle in the trenches when the planes come. After they drop their bombs, they will naturally get out!"
Sure enough, after the Japanese airdropped the personnel, they began to airdrop supplies. Unfortunately, the Japanese position was too close to the Eighth Route Army, and less than half of the supplies fell into the independent regiment's position;
Some officers also drifted into the Independent Regiment's position and were directly beaten into pieces by the Eighth Route Army on the position.
After the airdrop, the Japanese planes began bombing and strafing the independent regiment's positions. Inevitably, more than half of the bombs were dropped on the Japanese positions, which was a disservice!
"Bagayalu, Lu Hang, these bastards, are all blind? We're going to explode too!"
Regarding the accidental bombing, Yokoyama Yiyu had no other good solution except to jump up and curse a few times. The positions of the two sides were too close. To drop bombs from the air would be to hit fifty bombs each. The Eighth Route Army would suffer losses, but Yokoyama Yiyu could not afford to lose them. .
The Japanese plane didn't care whether Yokoyama Kazuo was happy or not. After dropping the bombs, it continued to sweep with machine guns. After releasing the ammunition it carried, it left with satisfaction. Both sides suffered a lot of losses.
Ito came over and reported to Major General Yokoyama:
"Your Excellency, General, of the 100 commanders who were parachuted by the Commander, only 76 landed safely, and the others fell on the Eighth Route Army positions;
In addition, 75 of our troops were accidentally injured and 48 were crushed! This is the promotion order given to you by the base camp! "
Ito handed an order from the base camp to Major General Yokoyama, Lieutenant General Yokoyama, to the brigade commander, to Major General Yokoyama, to be precise, Lieutenant General Yokoyama.
This was a reminder. The headquarters did not want him to be captured. The Japanese could not afford the consequences of a major general being captured.
Ichiyu Yokoyama understood at a glance that this was making him loyal to the emperor!
He was already numb. He had heard the word "Jade Broken" so many times during this period that he no longer felt it. It was almost half a squadron, and it was estimated that the Eighth Route Army's casualties were not that many.
"Ito-kun, call the commander back and thank him for his support. The Hengshan detachment vows to fight the Eighth Route Army to the last man. Long live His Majesty the Emperor and long live the Holy War!"
This was tantamount to saying goodbye to the enemy. Colonel Ito left silently. He still had to arrange duties for the airborne officers. The General had already decided to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and they were no exception.
The only thing that made him unhappy was that the base camp was too unfavorable to one another and did not promote him to major general before his death. This made him stay at the rank of colonel for the rest of his life, and he was unable to realize his dream of being a general until his death.
During the day, the two sides almost reached a tacit agreement. The Eighth Route Army would not attack, and the Japanese would not be able to fight back. Everyone should be safe!
Anping City has been evacuated by the First Battalion, the First Independent Company, and the Second Independent Company, and has been evacuated by the villagers, turning it into a real empty city. Li Qing took the villagers and a large amount of supplies to evacuate overnight. He should be able to reach Wangjiawa before dark. All these are They are urgently needed food and materials for the reconstruction of the base area, so naturally they cannot be left to the Japanese.
There was only one guerrilla brigade left in the direction of Anping City, and Yan Haoyu was accompanying the Japanese in the empty city strategy. The only regret was that he couldn't find a feather fan, which lacked a bit of flavor!
Twenty kilometers west of Anping City, the guerrilla brigade was constantly blocking the attack. The two brigades of the Japanese Seventh Regiment had no sense of urgency at all to rescue troops like putting out fires. They were more like Sima Yi's army chasing Zhuge Liang outside the west city;
An orderly block, an orderly pursuit;
Yan Haoyu's goal is to hold off the Japanese for one day, and the Seventh Regiment's goal is to recover Anping City within three days, each getting what they need!
"Captain, the Japanese are catching up with us again!"
"Hu Shuangquan, order you to hold off the enemy in Yangjiawan for two hours!"
The two sides faced off for another two hours in Yangjiawan. In the middle, the 7th Wing sent a squadron to attack twice symbolically, but they were beaten back in succession;
Both sides suffered casualties on each other, the guerrilla brigade suffered 5 casualties and the Japanese suffered 7 casualties!
Two hours later, Yangjiawan was evacuated one after another, and the Japanese successfully occupied Yangjiawan.
A few hours later, the two sides fought another fierce battle five kilometers west of the city. This time the Japanese dispatched a small team of troops and attacked three times, with casualties on each other again!
The guerrilla brigade injured 2 people and the Japanese wounded 3 people!
It will be dark soon, the 7th Regiment is in sight of victory, and the victory of regaining Anping City cannot be lost.
After dark, the guerrilla brigade withdrew into Anping City, and the Seventh Regiment stationed troops one kilometer away;
"Your Excellency, Captain, the gates of Anping City are wide open. I will lead the First Brigade into the city overnight and wipe out all the Eighth Route Army!"
"Mr. Mizuno, don't act recklessly. There is a saying in the art of war. Abnormal behavior is a monster. The Eighth Route Army's soldiers are cunning and cunning!
If they leave the gate open, there will be an ambush in the city. It is better to wait until dawn before entering the city, so as not to fall into the Eighth Route Army's trick. "
Major Mizuno suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Your Excellency the co-captain was the co-captain, and he was just a captain. There was still a gap. He couldn't help but like it:
"Yo Xi, I understand. Your Excellency, the captain, has a long-term view. He is worthy of being a famous general in the imperial army, and he has the style of a famous ancient Chinese general!"
"Mizuno-kun, if you can understand this, you are also a very promising person. Order the troops to retreat 500 meters, set up camp, and strengthen vigilance at night to prevent eight-pronged sneak attacks!
After dawn, we launched a general attack on Anping City, defeated the Eighth Route Army in the city in one fell swoop, and regained Anping City! "
"Hey!"
Major Mizuno went down to carry out the order. Fortunately, the commander of the regiment was wise and avoided being ambushed by the Eighth Route Army.
"Yo Xi, you are cunning and cunning on the Eight Roads!"
The Japanese captain touched the beard under his chin very wisely, but unfortunately there was no beard, so he had to touch a small piece of apricot beard under his nose!
Then he muttered softly:
"Three Kingdoms, interesting work!"
Under the setting sun, I look like Lord Sima who is willing to wear women's skirts...
