Chapter 989
The Japanese soldiers were looking for bunkers in a panic, trying to make a last stand.
Yamazaki, the Japanese captain, was not afraid of the hail of bullets around him. He took off his military uniform and found a relatively flat place to sit down slowly.
Since death has become his last choice, Yamazaki decided to wait quietly for death to come.
The little Japanese soldiers around them no longer care about their captain, they only think about how to survive.
However, there was firepower from the Chinese army in all directions. From a commanding height, any living creature on the mountain road could be seen at a glance.
If the Japs want to fight back, they need to shoot at a high angle. The Japs' light machine guns simply cannot set up such a high angle.
Without the suppression of machine gun fire, the little devils at the foot of the mountain could only get beaten.
Gao Cang saw something strange on the battlefield through the telescope, which was the position of Japanese Captain Yamazaki.
All the little devils at his feet were like headless flies, but Yamazaki was like a "clear stream", sitting on the ground motionless.
Gao Cang had been observing him for a while and immediately ordered: "Don't kill that little Japs Major, capture him alive."
Even though he is just a little Japs Major, it is not easy to catch one.
If you catch them alive, you can exchange them with the little devil for a lot of money.
When you exchange money with a kid, you don't want to prepare a ticket. What you want is real money.
There are fewer and fewer Japanese soldiers fighting back at their feet, and only half a head is left behind the Sun Mountain, spreading the last bit of afterglow to the world.
As soon as the whistle sounded, the troops ambushing on the hilltop launched a charge towards the Japanese army.
The sound of gunfire still echoed in the mountains, spreading farther and farther, until the noisy shouts of soldiers came from the valley.
"Get up, stop pretending to be dead here!"
No matter whether the little Japs could understand the Chinese language or not, the soldiers held bayonets in hand and urged the little Japs prisoners to gather together.
"Report to the battalion commander that the Japanese captain committed suicide. Look, this is his command knife."
A company commander handed the Japanese captain's command knife to Takakura. Blood was still dripping from the tip of the knife. Apparently it had just been pulled out from Yamazaki's body.
"It's a pity that the ocean I got flew away!"
In Zhao Zhiguo's army, these little devils are not prisoners of war, but oceans.
In order to eliminate these little devils, they had been struggling for more than twenty days. From the beginning of the layout to the end of the battle today, their work was finally in vain.
Moreover, they captured two Japs agents and eliminated all the Japs’ contact points around Anyang Town in one fell swoop.
The entire Yamazaki Battalion was wiped out, which did not surprise Murano Masao, but made the Japanese division commander in the Bingshu direction very angry.
When did such a capable army appear behind them?
Now the Japanese division commander in the direction of Bingzhou finally realized that Zhao Zhiguo's elimination of one of their regiments was not a deliberate exaggeration, nor was it an excuse for some commander's faulty command.
What makes the little devils even more troublesome is that they did not lose 1,500 troops, but all the contact points they worked so hard to establish around Anyang Town were destroyed by Zhao Zhiguo.
These contact points were originally around Anyang Town, very close to Anyang Town.
At that time, the area under the jurisdiction of Zhao Zhiguo's troops was not large. As the territory controlled by Zhao Zhiguo became larger and larger, those contact points were already regarded as the hinterland of the area controlled by Zhao Zhiguo and others.
But now, they are arranging these contact points near Anyang Town, which may be even more difficult!
Without these contact points, it will probably be even more difficult to keep track of every move of Zhao Zhiguo and his colleagues in the future.
And after wiping out a Japanese regiment this time, Zhao Zhiguo will definitely expand his territory.
Murano Masao was a smart man. When Zhao Zhiguo concentrated his energy on the 1,500 Japanese troops, he promptly withdrew the Japanese troops in Wang County to the Pingcheng area.
Otherwise, when Zhao Zhiguo is done with his work here and has free hands, Wangxian County is surrounded, Masao Murano will definitely feel more uncomfortable than he does now.
Gao Cang escorted the prisoners of war back to Anyang Town, and their mines gained another batch of free labor.
Their losses this time were not small. Two companies under Gao Cang were crippled, and several other companies also suffered losses to a greater or lesser extent.
Compared with the Japanese army, the losses were small!
But the heavy weapons and ammunition carried by Gao Cang and others have been exhausted.
In terms of the use of weapons, Gao Cang's consumption was ten times that of the little devils.
It is also the consumption of a large amount of ammunition that makes their casualties far lower than those of the little devils.
The loss of troops is still acceptable, and Zhao Zhiguo and the others already have a complete soldier reserve system and will replenish their troops at any time.
However, the consumption of explosive packs and shells this time really left the first battalion exhausted.
Zhao Zhiguo immediately sent a telegram to the Second and Third Battalions, asking them to support the First Battalion with some weapons and ammunition.
After settling matters in Anyang Town, Zhao Zhiguo returned to the Changshan garrison with the company directly under the regiment.
Zhao Zhiguo's next goal is very clear, which is Pingcheng!
Pingcheng is an important transportation location and an economic center within a radius of several hundred miles.
Being able to win Pingcheng is a key step for their continued development.
"It's a pity that Mitsuya Tsukasa escaped with his troops. Murano Masao, this old devil, is getting more and more cunning."
Zhao Zhiguo and the others did not expect that Murano Masao would give up Wang County so decisively and quickly.
"Giving up is not a bad thing. If the Japs insist on holding on and we attack Wang County, we won't be able to take them down in half a year."
The city walls of Wangxian County are complete and the fortifications are also good. If the troops lacking heavy artillery attack Wangxian County, they may lose more troops than the Japs.
Also be prepared for Pingcheng’s support at any time!
If the loss of troops is too large and Pingcheng's troops outflank them, their entire regiment may be destroyed in Wangxian County.
"Old Zhao, look at it! How about the layout of this newspaper?" Matthew Wen took a printed newspaper and placed it in front of Zhao Zhiguo.
Recovering the county seat from the Japanese army was a big deal, and it must be publicized well.
"I said, Lao Ma, I'm not very interested in this kind of thing, you know."
Zhao Zhiguo glanced at the title, The Independent Regiment of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army regained lost ground - Wang County!
Once this kind of news spreads, it will definitely increase people's confidence in resisting Japan.
"Actually, I don't think there is any need to publicize this matter. First, the Japs in Wang County were not beaten away by us, but they evacuated themselves. Second, Wang County is not a strategic location, and we will not be stationed in Wang County.
There are too many troops. If the Japanese army counterattacks, we may not be able to hold Wang County."
The Independent Regiment and the Little Devils have the same attitude towards Wangxian, they are nothing more than a springboard for the two sides to attack.
