The captain was not dead under the protection of several guards, but a huge hole was cut by a sabre on his back. Bright red blood and large swells emerged, and the guards could not stop the bleeding.

More importantly, because there are many guards around him, the captain became the main assault target of the cavalry company.

When the cavalrymen rushed over like autumn wind swept through the fallen leaves, there were only a few living guards around them, and there were corpses everywhere, with broken arms, very bloody!

"Captain, the Eighth Route Army cavalry are too powerful. The troops have suffered heavy losses and cannot stop them at all!" A small team leader ran over to report with blood on his arm.

"How many people are left?" asked the captain with a painful face, frowned.

"Not one infantry squad!" The captain replied with a look of pain.

"In front of the cavalry, the bayonets in the hands of the warriors have no effect at all, unless they hold the grenade and die together with the cavalry!"

"Baga, there is no position to use here, and there is no forest to hide. These cavalry have all planned. They want to wipe out us here and kill us all here!" The captain Ninja, who slowly calmed down, cursed in pain.

"Boom!" The sound of horse hooves sounded again on the battlefield.

The remaining cavalrymen in the cavalry company raised their sabers and screamed at the second round of attacks on the Japanese army.

"Bageya Road, these cavalry want to kill them all. Since they can't survive, they will fight with them. Those who want to retreat will break through the scattered areas, find the brigade commander, and tell him everything here. Those who don't want to break through will fight back against the cavalry with me and die with them with grenades!" The captain ordered in a deep voice.

After a fierce battle, all the Japanese, including the captain, died.

The cavalry company also paid a very heavy price, with more than 30 cavalrymen killed in the explosion of the Japanese grenades.

Seeing that nearly one-third of his subordinates were missing behind him, Ma Ronghe felt very heartbroken. After all, these people were all trained by him.

However, he also knew the tragic battle of the cavalry and the death. Since these soldiers chose to join the cavalry company, they were ready to die at any time.

"The troops gathered immediately and prepared to attack other Japanese soldiers! Cavalry company, come with me!" Ma Ronghe, whose face was covered with seriousness again, ordered very decisively.

At this time, Ono had already led his troops toward Laiyuan City.

However, due to the drag of artillery and baggage troops, the marching rate of the troops was very slow from the beginning.

At this moment, a second lieutenant suddenly rushed over from the front of the team: "Sir, the mountain road ahead has been destroyed. It must have been destroyed by the Eighth Route Army. The digging of soil is still new!"

"There is no problem for infantry to advance, but the baggage brigade and artillery brigade must wait until the mountain road is repaired before passing!"

"It must be done by the Eighth Route Army guerrillas. They want to slow down our return to Laiyuan City and buy time for them to attack Laiyuan City!" The Chief of Staff made a judgment immediately.

"Baga, what are you waiting for? The engineer squadron rushed over to build the road immediately, infantry assisted, hurry up!" Ono frowned and ordered.

As soon as the second lieutenant left, a communications officer at the headquarters ran over, looking very anxious and panicked.

"General, Laiyuan City urgently needs a power!"

"A siege force of the Eighth Route Army has entered Laiyuan City. Captain Watanabe reported that he was organizing troops to fight street battles with the Eighth Route Army entering the city, but he certainly couldn't hold on for too long. Captain Watanabe asks us to speed up the return of aid and return to Laiyuan City as soon as possible!"

"Nani? How could it be so fast? What did Watanabe do for food? So many troops couldn't even defend Laiyuan City!" Ono was startled at first, and then cursed very dissatisfied.

The Chief of Staff quickly reminded: "General, Laiyuan City must not be lost. Laiyuan City is in danger now, and we must make the worst plan."

The little wild horse, who also wanted to vent his anger and dissatisfaction through scolding, calmed down immediately.

Then he frowned and began to give orders: "Tele to Watanabe, give up the fortifications of the city walls, fight streets with the Eighth Route Army, and drag down the Eighth Route Army's siege troops. If you really can't defend Laiyuan City, you must blow up the arsenal at the last moment. The weapons and ammunition stored in Laiyuan City by the Empire must not fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Chief of Staff, we will immediately divide the troops, the infantry will take the lead, and march back to the city of Laiyuan!"

"Bailway brigade, artillery brigade, engineer squadron, then follow up!"

"Didn't the troops have many more rifles and machine guns? All of them are left behind to prevent accidents!"

"Contact the cavalry brigade outside the mountain, the first brigade, don't concentrate on the mountain pass, just go back to Laiyuan City!"

"As for whether the repatriation troops will be defeated by the Eighth Route Army, I can't care so much. Even if I lose some of the Imperial Army troops on the way back to the aid, I have to ensure the safety of Laiyuan City!"

When the Japanese army began to retreat, Wang Ping followed behind with three compressed infantry companies, waiting for the fighter plane to appear.

Not long after, a good news came.

"The regiment commander, the reconnaissance force reported that the Japanese were divided. Nearly two thousand Japanese troops and the Imperial Army marched back to Laiyuan City with only mortars and heavy machine guns. There were more than one thousand four hundred Japanese protecting their baggage and artillery behind them while repairing the road!"

"The opportunity has finally come. Commander, where are you going to deal with them!" Chief of Staff Zeng Quan asked with his eyes lit up.

Wang Ping was not as happy as he thought, and frowned and analyzed.

"It's a good opportunity, but we must be cautious. Our independent group has sacrificed nearly two thousand people in this battle. They must be eliminated with the guarantee of casualties!"

Zeng Quan's face also became serious.

I just heard that the fighter plane was just happy, but I didn't think about anything else. Now after careful analysis, Zeng Quan suddenly realized that he had overlooked a big problem.

His opponent is not a few hundred Japanese, but more than 1,400 people. Even if they are all technical troops without much combat power, they are not as good as the real Japanese elite. But when they pick up weapons, they also have combat power.

Even if the independent regiment is attached to the first battalion and two companies hidden in the mountain pass, the total strength is only five companies with less than one thousand people.

Not to mention anything else, even the troops are not as powerful as the Japanese. How can we fight this battle?

With such a huge gap in force, the regiment commander still had to eliminate more than a thousand Japanese troops while ensuring casualties. In Zeng Quan's opinion, it was almost impossible to do so.

At this moment, Wang Ping spoke again: "In addition to this requirement, this raid and annihilation war must meet these conditions."

"The time from the beginning to the end of the battle must be short. At least the attack must be separated from the artillery and supplies they protected, so as to prevent them from jumping over the wall and blowing up supplies and artillery!"

"The terrain is good, so the Japanese cannot have terrain to rely on to defend. In this way, the raid may become a tough battle, and our casualties will be out of control."

Speaking of this, a light flashed suddenly across Wang Ping's eyes.

"I have it!" Then he shouted with surprise.
Chapter completed!
