Ten minutes later, a lieutenant covered in gunpowder smoke and with a strong smell of blood on his body walked over and reported with his head down.

"Sir, the losses of the attacking troops have been counted."

"The leader of our squadron was killed by the flying thunder artillery, and another 98 imperial soldiers were killed in battle, and 21 imperial soldiers were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness."

"The Imperial Allied Army lost 48 casualties, and 19 were seriously wounded and lost their combat effectiveness."

The chief of staff clenched his fists with a clenching sound, his face was full of anger, and his eyes were red and red, as if he could breathe fire.

It took a long time before he spoke: "How many corpses of the Eighth Route Army are on the battlefield!" ”

The lieutenant's head was bent even lower, and he was eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, and after a long time he replied: "Only less than ten corpses of the Eighth Route Army have been found." ”

Seeing that the chief of staff was about to curse subconsciously, he hurriedly added: "There must be a lot of corpses that were shattered in the preparation of the artillery fire just now, and there are no bones left." Judging by the shattered weapon parts on the position, the attack just now wiped out at least half of the infantry company of the garrison. ”

The chief of staff did not disappear because of this, stared at the lieutenant and asked: "Do you think it is glorious for the attacking troops to lose nearly two hundred to kill half a company of the Eighth Route Army?" ”

"No, in addition to nearly 200 casualties, we also used up hundreds of shells of various calibers."

"As a result, this result was achieved, and it would be a shame to say it."

The lieutenant lowered his head and did not dare to answer.

Shao Zuo next to him hurriedly relieved the siege and said: "The chief is angry, and he thinks that they are not to blame for this attack, but the Eighth Route Army is too cunning and has deceived all of us." ”

"But no matter what, we took the position."

"As long as we continue to attack, occupy the entire assembly area, and eliminate the Eighth Route Army inside, the final winner will still be us."

The chief of staff slowly calmed down, regained his fighting spirit, and then ordered with a murderous aura: "The troops continue to attack. ”

"I want to kill all the Eighth Route Army inside and avenge the warriors who died in battle......"

The assembly area is a small village hidden in the mountains, with dozens of large and small houses scattered around.

Because of the war, the village was empty two years ago.

Many houses are in a state of semi-collapse because they are uninhabited and in disrepair.

When the troops arrived, they simply repaired some houses, then set up dozens of tents, and finally formed the current camp.

The position just captured by the Japanese puppet army was temporarily repaired by the Hunyuan Independent Battalion with a few hundred prisoners last night, blocking the way for the Japanese army to enter the village.

After crossing this line of defense, the village was completely exposed to the Japanese puppet army.

Dozens of tents and dozens of houses are scattered halfway up the mountain.

Looking at all this in front of him, the chief of staff's first feeling was that the garrison regiment assembly area was too quiet and incompatible with the surrounding fighting atmosphere.

There must be demons in the abnormal, and anyone who has tried a little bit of military knows this truth.

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army must be ambushed in the village and want to fight street battles with our attacking troops." Shao Zuo judged.

"At that time, in order to avoid accidental injury, the artillery superiority and air support of the imperial army are all gone, and we can only fight with them."

"The Eighth Route Army is familiar with the terrain inside, and is good at sneak attacks, and the imperial army will definitely suffer a big loss if it is a melee."

The chief of staff showed an expression of approval, and then ordered with a murderous aura: "Then use artillery bombardment, use aircraft bombing, and raze the village to the ground, I will see what the Eighth Route Army hiding inside will do to fight with us in the streets." ”

The chief of staff had suffered a heavy loss in the attack just now, and now he urgently needed a victory to regain the lost face.

In addition, the reconnaissance troops repeatedly assured themselves that the main force of the garrison regiment was still in the assembly area and did not leave.

So from the bottom of his heart, he decided that there was the Eighth Route Army in the village in front of him, and it was the main force of the garrison he was looking for.

As long as you take the village in front of you, you will win the battle.

On the highway 25 kilometers north of Datong City, more than 300 puppet troops carried heavy machine guns and mortars, escorted more than 500 prisoners of war, and hurried towards Datong City.

At one o'clock in the morning last night, they fought a battle with the troops behind the palace of the Jin Sui army, and captured more than 300 people.

The pursuit battle must not take the prisoners, and the captain of the leading team immediately took the opportunity to draw a reinforced team to escort the prisoners back to Datong City first, and led the main force to continue to pursue and kill the Jin Sui army's breakthrough troops.

The little devil who returned to Datong City first was killed by a company of the cavalry battalion at four o'clock in the morning.

Because they were not equipped with a radio station, and the whole army was destroyed, the captain who continued to pursue the Jin Sui army did not know all this.

At six o'clock in the morning, the Japanese puppet army, which had been on the road all night, finally blocked the remaining Jin Sui army fifty kilometers north of the city.

It didn't take much effort, and the exhausted Jin Sui army chose to surrender.

After half an hour of rest on the battlefield, the captain returned to Datong City with the prisoners and captures.

"Battalion commander, the devil will come over in half an hour." A cavalryman rushed to Zhou Wu and reported.

"It's still the old way!" Zhou Wu thought for a moment and replied.

"First lure the enemy deeper, force the little devils to divide their troops to chase and kill the bait we released, and then the cavalry will raid, kill them, and consume those hundreds of little devils little by little."

"Da Da Da ......"

Soon a series of machine-gun strafing sounds sounded on the flanks of the road, some of which were made in the Czech Republic of China and some of which were equipped by the devils themselves, which were very dense.

"Sir, the troops behind the palace are under attack, and the enemy is armed with six light machine guns and has great firepower. But judging by the sound of rifle fire, they had only one infantry company. ”

"It must be the fish that scattered the Jin Sui army that broke through the net and wanted to rescue the prisoners in our hands." The captain didn't hesitate too much, and made a judgment as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Do you want to divide your troops and eat them?" The subordinate proposed.

"Of course, this is fat meat delivered to the mouth, and you can't eat it for nothing." The captain replied arrogantly.

The planes that were called upon during the day gave him a strong combat confidence.

Even if it was a conspiracy, he was not afraid, so it was a big deal to call for air support and ask other pursuing troops nearby to come and help.

More than 100 devils and more than 30 puppet soldiers, carrying heavy machine guns and mortars, quickly broke away from the team and killed the opponent.

The devils who stayed on the road were not idle, providing fire support to the attacking troops, while occupying the nearby commanding heights, setting up light and heavy machine guns, and preparing for battle.

"Sir, the enemy attacking us is retreating!" The subordinate reminded.

"The attacking troops will kill them, draw two detachments to outflank them left and right, intercept them, and I will annihilate them completely." The captain replied with an arrogant expression.

The subordinates are also arrogant.

His self-confidence and confidence also came from the plane and other pursuing units nearby.

Even if the enemy has set a trap in front of him and wants to lure the enemy deep into the attack, he is not afraid.

More than 100 imperial troops, a certain number of heavy machine guns and mortars, were ambushed by four or five hundred Jin Sui troops and could hold out for more than half an hour, and at that time the aircraft support would definitely arrive.

With his own understanding of the Jin Sui army, in order not to be bombed, the casualties are too great, and after seeing the plane, he will definitely retreat by himself, and then the attacking troops can turn defeat into victory, and pursue and kill the retreating Jin Sui army under the cover of the plane, and fight another big victory.

As for more Jin Sui troops, it is completely impossible.

Because it is impossible for a large Jin Sui army to escape the eyes of the imperial army's reconnaissance troops.
