Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Chapter 372: A group of old devils who refused to give up

It was just as Kobayashi Kazuzo said, and Jun Hougong had no way to retreat, although the entire division suffered little damage.

However, there was only a mountain artillery regiment, a heavy artillery regiment that the commander had spent a lot of effort to obtain, plus a large number of 20,000 puppet soldiers who died. Hou Gong Chun could not bear the responsibility for this crime.

Therefore, after consulting with Jun Hougong, Kobayashi Kazuzo did not hesitate too much and Jun Hougong contacted the headquarters directly. After a round of scolding, Umezu Michijiro agreed to his request and even increased the stakes.

Although the poison gas bombs were gone, it was not a big problem for Umezu Michijiro to requisition some mountain and heavy artillery.

He also knew how the headquarters would deal with him, so it could be said that he had no way out.

With the commander's approval, Jun Hougong made a phone call to the Kobayashi Brigade.

Kobayashi Kazuzo got the result he wanted after greeting all the women in the family.

In fact, if Kobayashi was in front of Jun Harumiya, his face would probably have been swollen.

Since the general was away at the moment, there was nothing Chun could do but keep this crime in mind.

Huangtuling, as the Qiantian Regiment cleared the road, the entire independent regiment quickly evacuated.

It was indeed a tacit understanding. The two sides parted ways without firing a shot, which made the battalion commander Huang Zhengkui feel a little reluctant to leave. He was hoping that the Japanese would make a move and the two sides would fight again.

The Battle of Huangtuling is now over, but the crisis in Gaojia Town has just begun.

No matter how powerful the special forces are, they only have about a hundred people, and it is already considered good enough if they can delay the Japanese for a few hours.

Fortunately, the 37th Battalion led by Wu Mazi had a good battle result. Only more than 500 people were left in one battalion of the Japanese army, and almost all the puppet troops were killed or wounded.

Wu Mazi also tried his best, firing at full force, not caring at all whether he had enough ammunition.

Anyway, we just need to use up all the supplies we brought. As long as we kill these devils, we can naturally replenish the ammunition when we return to Xianyaling.

Several large-scale seizures, coupled with the subsequent development of various battalions, resulted in Xianyaling having too much reserves. Even if Gu Changfeng took most of the reserves away, the remaining reserves were still enough for the 37th Battalion to consume.

Of course, they are all ordinary ammunition, such as Type 38 rifles, grenade launcher shells, etc.

"Captain, these Chinese are too powerful. We must evacuate, otherwise it will be too late."

Captain Ishino spoke anxiously.

The enemy had more than 30 mortars and infantry guns, and they only had a battalion of guns, which was not enough to defeat them.

"Evacuate, evacuate quickly,"

The soldiers of the 37th Battalion did not surround them, so the Ghana Brigade can still evacuate for now.

It’s not that Wu Mazi didn’t want to, but the place was too big, and more than a thousand of them couldn’t surround the Japanese at all, so they just let it go.

Anyway, if the Japs want to leave, let them go. They can just go back to Xianyaling to defend.

In fact, their mission has been completed by now. Most of the people in Gaojia Town have evacuated to the mountains, making it difficult for the Japanese to find them.

Da da da!

Bang bang bang!

Seeing the Japanese retreat, the soldiers of the 37th Battalion began to charge and chased the Japanese with bullets.

"Okay, it's almost time to get everyone back. We should go back to Xianyaling." Wu Mazi ordered calmly.

A few Japanese soldiers didn't interest him much. If it weren't for the Japanese soldiers holding him back, he would have gone back long ago.

The safety of Xianyaling is of utmost importance. The independent regiment's foundation lies not only in the people, but also in the talents and materials. He sees this very clearly.

On the Japanese regiment side, the brigade commander, Mizukawa Kita, had a gloomy face that looked like water was about to drip out of it. After a long silence, he roared:

"Bakayarō, these Chinese are not fit for warriors!"

The special forces' tactics really tortured him. Each attack lasted only one or two minutes, and they would retreat after the attack.

In just a few hours of fighting in the mountains, his men had suffered more than 300 casualties, and including the puppet troops, the number was as high as 700 to 800. It was a credit to Mizukawa Kita that he didn't die of anger.

Xiaowu really disgusted Mizukawa Kita. His team had snipers, grenade launchers, M60 heavy machine guns, and the cover of the fire team.

Once the devils try to surround us, the fire team will come to our rescue.

Moreover, booby traps were triggered from time to time during the march, which made the Japanese and puppet troops tremble with fear.

It is really too torturous for the devils...

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, it seems that all these Chinese have left."

Staff Officer Ohashi Yasumi said this and looked at Mizukawa Kita cautiously, then lowered his head again.

Mizukawa Kita said nothing, staring intently at the direction the special forces team was heading. After a while, he said, "Ohashi-kun, this team should be the independent regiment special attack team that stayed in Gaojia Town."

"This type of special forces team is well-equipped and has a variety of tactics. They are ideal for ambushes, assassinations, and infiltrations."

"However, this Chinese team is different from the Empire's. They have long-range snipers, so they can also serve as a blocking force and delay the enemy."

Upon hearing this, Ohashi Yasumi was full of confusion. He didn't understand why the brigade commander was saying all this.

Shouldn't the goal now be to find the Chinese civilians first, or directly besiege the Independent Regiment's headquarters? If all else fails, occupying Gaojia Town first would also be fine. Why would the brigade commander suddenly say this?

Before Ohashi Yasumi could figure it out, Mizukawa Kita looked at him and continued, "Ohashi-kun, we may face many difficulties next. This team is not easy to deal with."

He actually had some doubts about this before he came out, after all, he still wanted revenge, but now, he felt that there was not much hope.

If Xiaowu knew that after just a few hours of resistance, the Japanese brigade commander actually wanted to retreat, I wonder if he would die of laughter.

"Reporting to His Excellency the Brigade Commander, the division headquarters sent a telegram asking us to temporarily withdraw from Gaojia Town and await support."

The signalman's words delighted Mizukawa Kita, who eagerly asked the signalman, "What else did the division headquarters say?"

He really doesn't want to fight at the moment, but if he has reinforcements, he feels that he can still hold on.

"Your Excellency, the division headquarters sent a telegram saying that the Chinese Independent Regiment has broken out of the 26th Division's encirclement and is now on its way back to Gaojia Town."

As soon as these words were spoken, Mizukawa Kita was eager to leave right away, because once the main force of the independent regiment came back, he would not be able to leave even if he wanted to.

But before leaving, he snatched the telegram from the signalman's hand and wanted to take another look at it.

As a result, he almost slapped the signalman's face until it was swollen. It was really infuriating.

The telegram not only mentioned that the independent regiment broke through the encirclement, but also that the 26th Division, the 106th Division and their 6th Division were encircling Gaojia Town. This situation was definitely good news for Mizukawa Kita.

Whether he takes revenge or not depends on his strength. If he were asked to face the independent regiment alone, he would definitely not be happy, but with so many troops surrounding them, he would be happy to share some of the credit.

"Ohashi-kun, let's go into the mountains and search for the Chinese people."

Mizukawa Kita completely vented his anger on the Japanese signalman's face. At this moment, he felt relaxed all over, as if he had drunk some nectar.

So he decided not to evacuate first, but to go directly into the mountains to cause trouble for the Chinese people.
