Chapter 416 Headache

In the noon sunshine.

Not far from the black wooden telephone pole, the second lieutenant put down the microphone in his hand.

The headquarters sent an order to cooperate with the cavalry brigade to establish a defense line on the spot. Forces from several other directions were surrounding the Eighth Route Army on the plains.

In the northeast, hundreds of war horses were slowly rushing west, looking like a thin line from a distance, coming straight to the west.

A motorcycle broke into the cavalry vanguard.

A large number of Japanese, cavalry and infantry hung behind the troops of thousands of troops in the military sub-district.

The air force in the sky only came to reconnaissance planes, and the expected bombing did not come either.

Perhaps the military sub-district ran too fast, or perhaps the circle of the Japanese encircled did not completely close, and the troops blocked the rear of the military sub-district and attacked them very easily, and even the troops chasing them from the county town did not advance.

The Japanese followed slowly behind and ran away in the scorching sun for a morning, and no one could bear it.

The military sub-district also ordered the vanguard troops to enter the village for temporary rest.

The headquarters was temporarily set up in an unmanned house.

There was a broken table in the middle of the house and some old benches were placed. The district radio operator was arranging a tightly raised antenna.

Finally, there is no need to stop or trek under the scorching sun, and you can feel a little chill when you enter the house.

The cavalry company commander walked into the house with a nervous heart. He knew that he would definitely ask him to report the battle situation and carefully recalled the situation on the battlefield. The seizure was still in the company and he would hand over it later. There seemed to be nothing else missing...

When I first entered the headquarters, the commander, staff, political commissar, and the commanders inside were probably there, and even the battalion commander had not entered. How could I not be nervous if I asked myself a company commander to attend a meeting?

After entering the door, he was ready to salute the thousand leaders as he expected, but found a group of people gathered around the broken table, and no one paid attention to him at all.

After hesitating for a moment, he quickly ran to the back of the cavalry Commander Zeng and Political Commissar Kuang, standing there without daring to say anything.

"This time the Japanese dug up a pit. We must have wanted to encircle us in Qixian, but our scouts discovered their whereabouts in advance!"

"The Japanese didn't expect that we would retreat east early in the morning. The encirclement to their east was not formed, and the group of Japanese and puppet troops were actually repelled by the cavalry company. Your cavalry company is really good!" The division commander couldn't help but praise Zeng Tuan.

After the cavalry company cleaned the battlefield, Hu Yi asked Ma Liang to arrange a correspondent to report the battlefield situation to the independent regiment inside.

The valiant harsh praises of the cavalry company, and the 9th Company and Wang Pengbastion of the Second Company were only assisting the cavalry.

The staff officer was a little puzzled: "According to the news reported by Captain Yu and the others, the Japanese cavalry in the east must have crossed the Wei River and came to us, but they are still missing. I wonder what conspiracy the Japanese have? This matter must be taken seriously!"

"If we want to move forward, we have to cross the Wei River first, and we have to cross the Dagong River in Huaxian County. However, this year, there is a severe drought. There is not much water coming to the upper reaches of the Wei River for more than half a year. Many places have been cut off from the river. If we want to use the river to trap us, the Japanese will definitely calculate the gains and losses this time."

"What's wrong. I think the Japanese in Weihe River no longer know. They must have had some conspiracy."

"What conspiracy can there be? The Japanese surrounded each direction with only one or two thousand people. The Japanese were still holding puppet troops, so I was afraid of a ball."

"Report, the division headquarters urgently called!" The radio operator next to him stood up and held a piece of paper.

"Remember!" the commander looked up.

"Your unit has completed the breaking of the enemy's logistics line, and it is important to preserve its strength! Your unit can retreat eastward. If you encounter an enemy's interception, you will wait for an opportunity to enter the mountainous area in western Shandong. Try..."

The commander's face turned dark: "We have been fighting in the plain for so many years, and his Japanese cavalry want me to enter western Shandong. Isn't that just going to Liangshan? The division commander underestimated our military division too much!"

The staff officer gestured a few times on the map: "Liangshan? It seems that it's not too far. Good guy, one or two hundred kilometers, that's a good place to fight guerrillas, haha."

The commander finally saw the cavalry company commander behind Commander Zeng and immediately smiled: "Your cavalry company fought well this time. Lao Lu's independent regiment correspondent said that you fought bravely in this victory, but you sacrificed a little more. Let your regiment commander make up for you!"

"Well, report to the commander, the real commander is Company Commander Hu, and the most sacrifice is their independent company 2nd Company!" The cavalry company commander did not hide it.

"Well? The Second Company of the Independent Regiment has the greatest sacrifice? And what about this? Lao Lu, didn't you say that the cavalry company suffered the greatest losses? It seems that the generals under your command are not honest, and they still have hidden their losses? Why, do you look down on our military sub-district?" The commander's face darkened.

Commander Lu was shocked. Did he make any trouble when playing armored vehicles in the village? He quickly said, "How could it be? Our independent regiment has only four companies, fighting guerrillas in the mountains all day long. Few people in the division don't know, and it all became a joke."

Upon hearing this, the commander raised his hand and looked at his watch, then turned his head to the cavalry company commander: "Hey, then tell me about the battle process?"

At this point, the cavalry company commander quickly cleared his throat: "Yesterday, Company Commander Hu found the cavalry regiment and sent ten cavalry lances from our second battalion, saying that he would lend us thirty horses for two days. The battalion commander felt that borrowing a platoon would not have much impact, so he agreed. In the afternoon, we rode a horse with Company Commander Hu and others on bicycles to about thirty miles east of Meixian, and dug an armored vehicle out from the ground. Because there was no gasoline, he used a horse to pull the armored vehicle to the village to the west.

It was midnight when we came back. Company Commander Gao of the Independent Regiment... just came to find Company Commander Hu of the Ninth Company. Because Company Ninth Company had bicycles, their reconnaissance range was very far away. The comrades who were reconnaissance east discovered that there was a group of Japanese soldiers and cars more than 20 miles away.

Company Commander Hu planned to seize the car and arranged to drive east before dawn. He asked me if I could help. I thought it was okay anyway, so I asked the battalion commander, and the battalion commander agreed because he had not found any trace of the enemy.

We pulled the armored car and arrived in this village. After a meeting, Company Commander Gao insisted that he hit the left side, and Company Commander Hu arranged for the supplementary regiment to support Battalion Commander Wang and Company Ninth Company to show their weakness in the front and lure the Japanese to charge.

The Japanese first carried out artillery bombardment. The Ninth Company quickly dug a trench and hid in the trenches and ignored the Japanese. After the artillery bombardment, the Japanese pulled a scattered line to attack the Ninth Company and Battalion Commander Wang. Then our cavalry arranged the meeting of Company Hu and surrounded the flanks from the left side.

One of the company commander Gao charged towards the Japanese from the left! Because we were very fast and we set out late, but we first contacted the Japanese. After rushing forward, the Japanese puppet army had no time to form a formation, so we rushed up and killed the Japanese!”

When the warrior said this, he was worried about it. He pulled a teapot from the table and poured it into his mouth.

Everyone around them is supplementing the battle scenes in their minds.

The military sub-district adviser thought for a while and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Make it clear, how many Japanese and puppet troops are there in total?"

"The Japanese have a squadron, with heavy machine guns, two mortars, and a dozen small cannons. Well, there are almost one battalion of the puppet army." The cavalry company commander put down the water cup, raised his sleeves and wiped the corner of his mouth and continued.

"What do you mean, the puppet army has a battalion? How many troops did they invest in the first attack?" The commander's eyes lit up.

"Well, almost a company of puppet troops were in front, and a small team of Japanese soldiers were pressing behind."

"Then how much damage was in your cavalry company?"

"Thirty-six people were sacrificed, sixty-two minor and serious injuries! Well, eight of the injured had broken bones when they fell off the horse." The company commander remembered clearly.

"What? You have nearly a hundred casualties? How many people are there in your company?"

"One hundred and forty-six!" The cavalry company commander quickly replied: "I borrowed half a platoon from the battalion!"

"You guy is good, what about you later? Let me tell you in detail how you can repel the Japanese attack?" The commander was very satisfied.

"After we rushed over, the puppet troops saw that the cavalry was coming quickly, so they turned around and ran back. The Japanese followed behind were forced to charge with guns, but they ended up in chaos. We took advantage of the chaos to kill the Japanese puppet army group. The machine guns behind the Japanese could not support them. The Ninth Company fired cannons at the Japanese positions at this time."

"Wait, do you say that the Ninth Company has a cannon, is it a small grenade cannon or..."

"Uh, I know about this. The Ninth Company has two captured mortars." The political commissar was not calm and quickly added.

"No, you have two cannons in one company?" The commander's face showed a look of disbelief.

"Hey, there are only two mortars. I have seen this. The Ninth Company still has eight grenade launchers!" The cavalry company commander quickly added.

The commander took a deep breath: "Old Lu, I have a headache. You all are still poor in this way? Did you intentionally put all your firepower aside and everyone who brought me was pretending to be poor?"

"Hey, what are you saying? Don't you still need to add old sleeves to me? I told you that I don't believe you." Captain Lu was not calm, but he was in a good mood. There were quite a lot of old sleeves that had been in a row and three consecutive times: "Don't interrupt, let him continue talking."

"Later, Company Commander Gao attacked from the left, and the puppet army had machine guns. After nearly half of their casualties, they finally reached the puppet army's position. The second company was really good at fighting bayonets! With the remaining half of the company, the Japanese were killed, but unfortunately, most of them were sacrificed later."

Captain Lu was shocked: "What did you say? Gao Yidao is fine if he is not in the village? Do you say most of them have sacrificed?"

"Uh, Commander, don't worry, they lost about 100 people, but... the company commander Gao should have strengthened the company, with about 300 people?"

"More than 300 people? Is that still a company? Isn't this obviously a battalion?" The staff officer frowned: "You keep talking!"

"Later, Company Commander Hu ordered a counterattack, and Battalion Commander Wang Peng and his company attacked the Japanese positions behind, but were pressed and attacked by the Japanese machine gun grenade launcher. Company Commander Hu asked me to continue attacking to the right.

Company Commander Gao also took the remaining comrades to charge at the Japanese again. Their Second Company directly defeated the Japanese squadron supervising the battle behind. Then, the Japanese squadron leader was hit by cold guns. Then, before we could reach the Japanese position, the puppet army and the Japanese turned around and ran eastward."

The commander was stunned for a while. His grandmother's this was a typical frontal defeat, including showing the enemy with weak temptation, attacking sideways with superior forces, and suppressing firepower, and finally attacking head-on!

It clearly shows a classic positional battle!

Thinking of this, he looked around and said, "Wait, this is wrong, let me take care of it. The Ninth Company has no gasoline, so I borrowed it from us, and we didn't. Then the Ninth Company had the idea of ​​fighting the Japanese car. He did not report it, and then joined a battalion of the supplementary regiment, plus one of my cavalry companies, and headed on the Japanese squadrons and took a puppet military camp. This matter is a bit messy. Oh, I have a headache. When did the Japanese puppet army fight so carelessly?"

"Bail Commander Wang actually only brought one company!" The cavalry company commander quickly explained.

"How many enemies have you killed?" The staff officer ignored the commander and then asked the cavalry company commander.

"Annihilation of a small team of Japanese soldiers, and there is also the attacking company's puppet army!" The cavalry company commander felt guilty. Nearly half of the injured Japanese soldiers and surrendered puppet army were stabbed to death by Nine Company while cleaning the battlefield. This matter cannot be said.
