"Reporting to the regiment, the deputy of the Shangguan regiment sent a good news that an infantry brigade from the direction of Pingyin was completely wiped out and a large number of weapons and ammunition were seized. However, because there are too many weapons and ammunition, the deputy of the Shangguan regiment asked for instructions whether to blow up some of the weapons and equipment? "
As soon as Duanwu returned to the office, a communications soldier came to report.
Duanwu took off his coat, Tang Jiujiu took it from the side, and Duanwu went straight to the map on the desk.
Shangguan Zhibiao's victory made Duanwu see a fighter.
He took a look at the map and ordered: "Order the boss to have his troops retreat to Wulipo to rest and recuperate. The captured weapons and equipment that cannot be taken away should be blown up. And if they can be taken away, they will not be used for the time being." If you arrive, find a place to bury them. And send a troop, leaving traces to the east, to give the illusion that the troop has arrived at Feicheng to join me. Do you understand?"
"yes!"
After recording, the communications soldier saluted the Dragon Boat Festival and then trotted away to generate electricity. At the same time, Tang Jiujiu asked: "What happened at the West City Gate? Who fired the shot?"
Duanwu said: "A group of bandits molested good women, and I killed one of them. If it weren't for Lao Ma's sake, I would have killed them all."
Tang Jiujiu said angrily: "I hate those men who bully women the most. You should kill them all."
Duanwu said: "I think so too, but we have to take into account the relationship between the two parties. What's more, Lao Ma is still a good person. I killed his people, but he didn't say anything, and he kept asking me Apologize. So we have to give you this face."
"Um!"
Tang Jiujiu nodded in response, otherwise even if Duanwu let him go, she, Tang Jiujiu, would not let him go.
However, at this moment, another communications soldier ran in in a panic. He even forgot to knock on the door.
Duanwu glanced at the other party, and then the communication soldier realized it and quickly went back and knocked on the door.
Duanwu came in with a shout, and then the signal soldier came in and reported: "The regiment is not in good condition. The Special 1st Battalion has been defeated. The 1st Division of the Imperial Association Army is not a regiment at all, but a brigade. The Special 1st Battalion The difference in numbers is too great, so we can only retreat."
Duan Wu said angrily: "What did Zhou Tianyi do? Why didn't we investigate clearly before starting the fight?"
But then Duanwu asked: "Where is he now?"
The communications soldier replied: "They are still near Feiyun Ridge. Battalion Commander Zhou said that they will restrain the enemy to buy us time."
"snort!"
Duan Wu was speechless and thought to himself: "I am using you to buy time?"
"Tell him to evacuate quickly, target Wulipo, and let him meet Laoshang."
Duanwu directly ordered Zhou Tianyi's troops to retreat, because Zhou Tianyi had lost the opportunity. If he kept biting the enemy, he would most likely be taken over by the brigade of the first division of the puppet army. And when that time comes, he still has to save people, and it's not worth the loss at all.
So Duanwu directly ordered Zhou Tianyi's troops to join Shangguan Zhibiao.
After giving the order, Duanwu looked at the map and thought. It was less than a hundred kilometers from Feiyunling to Feicheng. In less than two days, a brigade of the first division of the puppet army would arrive at Feicheng. And coupled with the three squadrons of Japs who escaped, it will be very troublesome to defend Feicheng, and the little Japs will continue to send troops to Feicheng as reinforcements.
This is the hinterland of the Japs, and news came from the 56th Army and the 55th Army that the Japs' attack was very fierce.
Dragon Boat Festival even wanted to go back and stab the little devil for a while.
However, after careful consideration, he felt that this matter was inappropriate. Since the little devil had noticed the existence of his troops, how could he not be on guard?
What's more, judging from the current intentions of the little devil, it is very likely that the little devil will surround himself and then annihilate him in one fell swoop.
And judging from the regular tactics of the Japs, the Japs' encirclement will definitely not be just one layer of encirclement.
And this is the reason why Duanwu did not go directly south to ambush the first division of the puppet army. Because if he goes south, no matter whether the ambush is successful or not, he will be bitten by the enemy troops surrounding him from the south, and then it will be like a snowball, the more he rolls, the more enemies he will have.
"Hmph, it seems that we have to capture Pingyin before we start."
Duanwu was very optimistic about Pingyin because Pingyin was very close to the second theater. After more than 150 kilometers to the west, he could cross the Japanese fire line and enter the defense zone of the second theater. In other words, Pingyin's strategic location is much better than Feicheng.
The reason why Duanwu chose Feicheng before was because Feicheng was a soft persimmon. And indeed, the Japs in Feicheng ran away immediately after suffering losses.
But this is a hidden secret. The Japanese in the three squadrons are either too many or too few. They want to cause trouble for themselves secretly, which is not good news for Dragon Boat Festival.
And this was also the reason why Duanwu didn't let Shangguan Zhibiao come back to join him.
"Somebody come!"
Thinking of this, Duanwu called out someone. At this time, the guards came in to listen to the Dragon Boat Festival's orders.
Duanwu ordered: "Go tell Lao Shou and ask him to send scouts to find the little Japs who escaped from the city. Remember not to alert the snake. And no matter whether the scouts have any news about the little Japs, they must come back before dinner. Second, Let Lao Baanpan leave the recruitment matter to others first, and let him calculate our battle losses and ammunition consumption for me immediately. By the way, and go find Lao Ma for me."
"yes!"
The guard took the order and went out to deliver the order.
At this time, Tang Jiujiu came over and said, "Why, did this battle go poorly?"
Duanwu said: "There was a small problem, but it's not a big problem. It's just that the first division of the puppet army was really good and actually defeated Zhou Tianyi. Haha!"
Tang Jiujiu thought for a moment and said, "I heard from Tiedan that this Zhou Tianyi seems to be very good at fighting."
Duanwu nodded and said: "Well, he fought well, but this time he encountered a brigade of the First Division. It's good that he can escape with a battalion of troops. It's just that Zhou Tianyi is a bit of a bastard, and he even wanted to To pin down the opponent. Think like a pig. Can you pin down the opponent's brigade? And once the opponent seizes the opportunity, you won't even have a chance to escape.
We don't have many available men now. Without one battalion, the next battle will be difficult to fight. This little devil is not a loser. The same goes for puppet troops. Whether it is the Royal Guards or the first division of the puppet army, their combat effectiveness is good.
Alas, it's a pity that with such a strong fighting ability, he didn't even fight the Japanese. "
Dragon Boat Festival sighed with emotion. Tang Jiujiu comforted him: "Don't be angry. Everyone has their own ambitions, so don't force them. There are soldiers who are patriotic and serve the people, and there will be traitors who surrender to the enemy and betray their country!"
