"Old Abacus, go and send a telegram to the boss and ask him if there is any news over there?"
Duanwu ordered helplessly, because it was obvious that today's battle plan was going to be ruined in all likelihood.
I just didn't want to, but Shangguan Zhibiao's call back later shocked Duanwu. Shangguan Zhibiao had already seen the Japanese infantry troops coming from the direction of Pingyin for reinforcements. At the same time, Zhou Tianyi also discovered a puppet army moving towards Feicheng near Feiyunling, about one regiment in size.
Duanwu gradually showed a smile. Although he still didn't know what the little devil's plan was, the little devil was inexplicably developing as he planned.
Is this just luck?
Although Dragon Boat Festival rarely believes in luck, especially when fighting. But it is undeniable that he was indeed favored by luck this time.
When Duanwu was about to order Lao Abacus to generate electricity for Shangguan Zhibiao and Zhou Tianyi respectively, gunfire suddenly came from the north of the city.
Duanwu was stunned again, because he did not ambush people in the north of the city, so where did the gunfire come from?
"Hey, he's my man."
Ma Pingan said with a very lewd smile at this time.
Duanwu was speechless and thought to himself: "You are such an old horse, you are really good at finding opportunities. But there are so many Japanese who have escaped, can your guerrillas really do it?"
Thinking of this, Duanwu immediately ordered: "Old Abacus, go quickly and immediately order Zhao Weidong's cavalry battalion to leave the city to pursue. Otherwise, the guerrillas will suffer heavy losses."
"yes!"
Lao Abacus glanced at Ma Ping'an and responded helplessly, because it was obvious that the guerrillas' actions were causing trouble for the independent group.
Ma Pingan was also aware of it at this time, but he felt that the little devil had been frightened out of his courage by the independent group, so nothing would happen, right?
However, Ma Ping'an missed one point. The Japanese 11th Regiment was indeed shocked by the fighting bravery of the independent regiment, but their retreat was orderly.
In other words, the little devils were not without the strength to fight. They were just following Seishiro Itagi's order to withdraw from the battle in an orderly manner, waiting for reinforcements outside the city and then besieging the city, wiping out all the enemy forces that entered Feicheng.
So when the guerrillas appeared to ambush the 11th Japanese Regiment, they were immediately met with a crazy counterattack by the Japs. The guerrillas suffered heavy losses in just an instant.
First, their marksmanship is not as good as that of the Japs, and second, their firepower is not as good as that of the Japs. Third, they do not have any advantage in terms of numbers.
There were about three squadrons of little devils who escaped from Feicheng, and the guerrillas only had so many people. Even though Ma Ping'an had recruited some puppet troops from Dongping County before, the entire guerrillas were less than 500 people, plus the garrison. Among the people left behind, this time there were less than 400 people in the ambush at the north gate of Feicheng.
And the consequences of four hundred people ambushing three squadrons of little devils can be imagined. And if the cavalry battalion of the Independent Regiment had not fought its way out of the city, the Huaibei guerrillas would most likely have been wiped out under the North City of Feicheng.
But even so, the guerrillas suffered between seventy and eighty casualties.
When Zhao Weidong came back after driving away the Japanese, he frowned slightly when he saw the sacrificed guerrillas. After all, these are all Chinese soldiers. They sacrificed their lives in vain. Anyone who sees them will feel uncomfortable.
When Duanwu heard the news, he also had a serious face. But he didn't say anything to Ma Pingan.
Ma Ping'an is not a fool. There were such big mistakes in this ambush. Even if Dragon Boat Festival didn't talk about it, he would reflect on himself.
Then Ma Ping'an said goodbye and left, and saw the injured Captain Dashi outside the city.
Dabao said ashamedly: "I didn't command well."
Ma Pingan said comfortingly: "It's not your fault, it's because I didn't think it through. There is still a big gap between our guerrillas and other independent groups."
Dacha said angrily: "It's all because of our poor equipment, otherwise we wouldn't have suffered such a big loss!"
When Ma Pingan heard this, he immediately said with a straight face: "Is our equipment really bad? We use the same weapons as the little devils. What else do you want to use? Use the German equipment of the independent regiment? That's what you want. Bought with real money. You only saw that the independent group was equipped, but you didn't know how hard the Duanwu brother worked behind the scenes to collect equipment for the whole group. Do you think that weapons and equipment are so easy to save? ? Look, what is the most common weapon used by the independent regiment? Isn’t it a Japs’ machine gun? If you want good weapons and equipment, I won’t stop you. I’ll find a way to do it myself.”
Dasha was speechless and could only nod.
Ma Pingan calmed down after a while and said: "Take the bodies of the comrades and the wounded and return to Shangguan Village immediately. I originally thought that we could drink some soup after the Dragon Boat Festival, but now it seems that, Our soldiers' combat capabilities are too poor, and they still need more training. Otherwise, we won't even have a chance to intervene on the frontal battlefield."
Dasha thought for a while and said: "Leader Ma, I also want to promote the training of the troops. But we are short of bullets. During training on weekdays, each person only has three bullets. Now on the battlefield, everyone has only one bullet. Five bullets.”
Ma Ping'an hesitated and said, "I'll figure this out. You leave a few people to follow my orders."
"yes!"
Dasha stood at attention and saluted, and at this time, Ma Ping'an returned to the city to find Dragon Boat Festival.
So what he can do is to pluck wool.
He told Duanwu about the actual situation, and Duanwu asked Ma Ping'an to find Lao Abacus. Nowadays, the financial power of the independent group is in the hands of the old abacus. Moreover, Duanwu didn't know how much he could seize this time, so he couldn't agree randomly. What's more, he had more important things to do, which was to take an overview of the overall situation.
Both Shangguan Zhibiao and Zhou Tianyi sent telegrams saying that they had discovered the enemy, but the Japanese in Feicheng escaped. So what exactly does the little devil want to do? Could it be that he wanted to preserve his own strength and wait for reinforcements to arrive to counterattack?
Duanwu does not rule out this possibility, so the first thing he needs to do now is to re-evaluate the enemy's troop deployment near Feicheng.
The only thing he worried about was that the Japs would choose to cut off his retreat.
And sure enough, when Feicheng was attacked and Captain Xiongchuan asked the division commander Seishiro Itane for help, Seishiro Itane made such a decision. Not only did he mobilize reinforcements from near Feicheng, but he also stopped the attack on the front line, and temporarily mobilized the Japanese and puppet troops to reinforce the front-line troops and assembled them around Dongping County to cut off the retreat of the Dragon Boat Festival Independent Regiment.
And this includes a section of the Royal Guards. The commander of this unit is still Tianhong, the leader of Shang Yu's backup department.
Although Tianhong was injured before, his injury was not serious. The bullet was blocked by the chain golden armor. Therefore, after he returned to the military camp and was bandaged, his injuries were no longer serious.
So with full of anger, he came again, and he was bound to find Ksitigarbha's disciples and kill them!
