Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Chapter 292 Generous Captain Gu

At the same time, the Japanese cavalry regiment also suffered a heavy blow.

Nanshan Jiu never thought that after he broke through the encirclement, there was an ambush waiting for him in front.

By the time he reacted and wanted to escape, it was too late.

Several trip wires caused the front row of Japanese cavalry to fall off their horses.

Then the intensive bullet attack caused hundreds of Japanese soldiers to be killed or injured immediately.

The Japanese's speed advantage was directly restricted, and it was undoubtedly a pipe dream to try to speed up again within the encirclement.

The next step was easy. The sniper from the fifth battalion called out the names of the Japanese soldiers, and they fell off their horses one by one.

There was no suspense in the battle anymore. More than 300 Japanese soldiers, including the regiment commander Nanshan Jiu, were killed.

Deng Wu cheerfully ordered his soldiers to clean up the battlefield, muttering to himself, "Finally, there's a horse."

.........

Shiro Inaba had never expected that an encirclement and annihilation battle would turn out like this.

After receiving the news, he was stunned for a long time.

He couldn't understand why so many people would evacuate in such a disarray.

The Kurokawa Brigade was destroyed?

Even the cavalry regiment of the 110th Division couldn’t escape?

Half an hour later, Inaba Shiro, who had calmed down, stood in the division headquarters with a gloomy expression and said nothing.

The other Japanese officers also kept silent, for fear of angering the division commander at this time.

Finally, it was Chief of Staff Shimono Ichiho who stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency, the firepower of the Laiyuan Independent Regiment is well known."

"I believe that after this lesson, the headquarters will pay more attention to it."

"When we attack next time, we will take revenge on them."

After Shimono Ikho finished speaking, Inaba Shiro's expression looked a little better, and he nodded in agreement.

What can be said?

Now, please apologize!

For the proud Inaba Shiro, this was undoubtedly an act that made his face swell up.

"Next time, next time you won't be so lucky..."

Inaba Shiro swore secretly in his heart.

Ding County.

Gu Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief and began to order the troops to evacuate Ding County overnight.

This attack yielded great results and consumed a lot of Japanese soldiers, so he was very satisfied.

Even if the Japanese are ready and launch a large-scale attack later, he will not be afraid.

This time I exchanged my points for a lot of fun stuff, and I still have more than half of the Katyusha shells, so I'm not worried at all.

Arriving at the foot of Lingyun Mountain, Zhang Caiqian said to Gu Changfeng:

"Captain Gu, what are your thoughts next? Should we continue fighting?"

Today he had witnessed the strength of Gu Changfeng's men. Facing nearly ten thousand devils, they had achieved such a result.

Gu Changfeng smiled and said, "No need to continue. Let's go back to Gaojia Town to rest and prepare for the next attack from the Japanese."

Zhang Caiqian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll have someone transport the supplies here when the time comes."

The headquarters meant to cooperate, and he had no intention of consuming the supplies himself, although he was also envious.

Gu Changfeng thought for a moment and said seriously, "I'll give this batch of supplies to you. I feel you need it more."

The battalions under his command were well-equipped with guns and ammunition, and what Zhang Caiqian transported away were mostly dry food, canned food, and bullets.

If we really transport it to Gaojia Town, the logistics will be a hassle.

Of course, he also wanted to support the Eighth Route Army. After all, he had no shortage of supplies, but the Eighth Route Army did.

"Captain Gu, this batch of supplies is very valuable. Are you sure you want to give them all to us?" Zhang Caiqian said in surprise.

Although I had heard that the Laiyuan Independent Regiment was generous before, it was only when I actually received benefits myself that I realized how generous they could be.

Gu Changfeng waved his hand and said, "I just don't want the devils to get it, so supporting you is just right."

"Also, I predict that after this blow, the Japanese will delay their next attack until after the New Year, so you can have more time to prepare."

Seven or eight thousand Japanese soldiers were killed this time. It would take at least two months to replenish them here.

The Japanese could not ignore the cities, especially strategic locations like Baoding and Shijiazhuang, so he predicted that the Japanese's subsequent attacks would definitely be delayed.

"Thanks to Captain Gu's support, maybe everyone can have a good New Year this year."

Zhang Caiqian did not refuse any more, as they really needed this batch of supplies.

Although some of the money has to be handed over to the headquarters, the 129th Division will definitely get a lot for their hard work.

"No need to thank me. We fought the Japanese together. It won't be wasted if I give it to you."

Gu Changfeng said, looking at Wu Mazi beside him, "Allocate 3000 Type rifles. All weapons seized from the puppet army will be handed over to Commander Zhang later."

He had the supplies seized from Zhulong River, plus the ones Wu Mazi and his men seized from attacking Quyang, as well as a brigade from Ding County. The harvest was more than enough, and he wouldn't need any more weapons.

As for ammunition, forget it. There was a batch of supplies sent out, which contained a lot of it, enough for the 129th Division to fight a medium-sized battle.

Wu Mazi didn't feel anything, but Zhang Caiqian felt embarrassed. He looked at Gu Changfeng and said:

"Captain Gu, we've already gained a great advantage, this..."

They were of no use, and he suffered heavy losses in a battle with the Japanese cavalry regiment. He felt embarrassed to take the equipment again.

Gu Changfeng chuckled and said, "Captain Zhang, please don't refuse. I just saw that many of you are still holding the old barrel. How can you fight the Japanese like this?"

Gu Changfeng's words made Zhang Caiqian's face blush. Compared with Gu Changfeng's subordinates, they really looked very shabby.

The entire regiment was supported by various Hanyang-made, water-jet rifles, old-style rifles, and the Japanese Type 38 rifle. Many soldiers only had five rounds of ammunition.

"I won't say any more. Thank you, Captain Gu. If you need anything in the future, please contact me."

Zhang Caiqian said solemnly,

This is his promise, the Eighth Route Army will repay a favor.

Such a large amount of supplies, thousands of guns, this is a huge favor.

If Gu Changfeng put these supplies and firearms on the black market or sold them to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, he would definitely be able to make a lot of money, there is no doubt about that.

"Okay, Captain Zhang, let's stop thanking each other."

"It's getting late now, and I have to hurry on my way."

"Old Wu, hand the guns over to Captain Zhang. I'll take the others and go ahead."

Gu Changfeng was in a hurry to go back and count the gains and losses, so he didn't want to stay here and chat.

Hearing Gu Changfeng's urging words, Zhang Caiqian laughed dumbly, nodded, and went to hand over to Wu Mazi.

The way back was very peaceful. The Japanese seemed to have stopped their attacks and showed no signs of retaliation against the evacuation of the Laiyuan Independent Regiment.

Gu Changfeng was also very happy about this. Anyway, the harvest was huge enough, so he didn't care.
