Chapter 442: Don't fight now

Sun Weiguo quietly watched as these cavalrymen began to disappear from his sight, and the expression on his face became serious.

He believed that if Major Marshal Zhang had given the order to resist, most of the officers and soldiers in the Northeast would have fought to the death with the Japanese invaders, but now it is too late to say this, for these Northeast officers and soldiers, what they need to do now is to kill more devil soldiers, only in this way can they return to their hometowns earlier.

The armored company and the cavalry battalion acted as the vanguard and quickly went to Hequ County, the troops of the first battalion and the second battalion followed, and the fourth battalion followed the regimental headquarters and the troops directly under the regiment, but Qin Xianliang's third battalion did not leave, and they continued to stay in place and set up an ambush position.

The troops of the Sixth Garrison Regiment also set up a guard position nearby, but Sun Weiguo knew very well that with the combat effectiveness of the Sixth Garrison Regiment, it was impossible to contain the Japanese troops, after all, the Sixth Garrison Regiment was only more than 1,000 people.

Waist Zhuang Town, the headquarters of the 13th Wing of the Japanese Army.

Since Kunomura Momoyo gave the order to the Japanese troops in Hequ County to go to Wuzhai County, Kunomura Momoyo immediately arranged for his troops to monitor the Chinese troops' every move, and when he learned that the Chinese troops were quickly heading to Hequ County, Kunomura Momoyo had a smile on his face.

HE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO GIVE ORDERS TO THE FIELD ARTILLERY BRIGADE, AND IMMEDIATELY THE FIELD ARTILLERY BRIGADE OF TWELVE 75MM FIELD GUNS BEGAN TO SHELL THE REMAINING POSITIONS OF THE CHINESE TROOPS IN THE VICINITY.

Grenades were fired, the sound of shells exploding kept ringing out, shrapnel flew everywhere, and some villages were instantly reduced to rubble.

The troops of the 3rd Battalion were still stationed in their positions, and the Japanese artillery bombardment brought some casualties to the 3rd Battalion, but Qin Xianliang did not give the order to retreat.

As the Japanese artillery began to extend, more than 50 Japanese troops quickly began to attack the remaining positions of the 1st Reserve Regiment.

"Battalion commander, the little devil is here, now I can't fight." The sentinels immediately began to debrief.

After getting the sentry's report, Qin Xianliang held the binoculars and looked at the devil soldiers, and saw more than fifty devil soldiers marching towards here with a long line of skirmishers, Qin Xianliang sneered at the corner of his mouth, and he immediately began to give the order to shoot.

Light and heavy machine guns, mortars, grenadiers immediately began to fire, and after the end of a round of fire, the Japanese troops paid more than a dozen casualties.

After these Japanese troops lost more than a dozen people, they immediately stopped the attack and quickly began to withdraw to the town of Waist Village.

Kunomura Momoyo arranged for these Japanese troops to be tested, mainly because he wanted to launch a surprise attack from behind the first reserve regiment, and Sun Weiguo expected this, so he left the third battalion to prepare for an ambush against the Japanese army.

But Kunomura Momoyo was very clever, he just sent an infantry squad to probe, and after encountering a blow, this infantry squad quickly withdrew.

The sky was getting dark, and a crescent moon hung over the blue night, and the dim moonlight shone on the ground.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the Japanese field artillery brigade began to concentrate artillery on the positions of the 6th Garrison Regiment, and grenades were fired one after another.

Shells exploded one after another on the positions of the 6th Garrison Regiment, and after half an hour of shelling, the Japanese artillery began to extend behind the positions, and the Araki and Okamoto brigades quickly attacked.

With little resistance, the Japanese used their artillery to make a gap, and a large number of Japanese troops began to quickly withdraw along the gap.

Qin Xianliang heard that the Japanese army was shelling the 6th Garrison Regiment, and he immediately led his troops to launch a feint, but Kunomura Taoyo left a small group of troops to cover in Waist Zhuang Town, and these Japanese soldiers stayed in Waist Zhuang Town with a certain heart of death, and they used light and heavy machine guns to directly repel the attack of the third battalion.

You must know that after a hard battle, the third battalion of nearly 600 people currently has only more than 300 fighters, and these fighters are very tired.

The Japanese garrison was in a fortified bunker in advance, and because it was dark night, they could naturally easily repel the attack of the third battalion.

At 7:50 p.m., Kunomura Momoyo quickly evacuated the town of Waist Village with the Okamoto Brigade and the Araki Brigade and the Field Artillery Brigade.

The east side of the north bank of the Zhujiachuan River in Baode County is still in the northernmost part of Wuzhai County, and when the Japanese army made this illusion, the 6th Garrison Regiment and the 3rd Battalion of Qin Xianliang quickly began to deploy positions in the east area of Yuanzhuang Town to prevent this Japanese army from breaking through to Wuzhai County.

However, after they held their positions for an hour, they never found any trace of the Japanese troops, and when the 6th Garrison Regiment sent a reconnaissance unit, this reconnaissance unit of more than 100 people was ambushed by the Japanese troops, and the 6th Garrison Regiment and the 3rd Battalion completely lost the whereabouts of the Japanese troops.

Kunomura Momoyo's command ability is very good, at this time he has already entered Hequ County, and after entering Hequ County with his troops, he did not make any stops, but quickly fled towards Biguan County.

"Bang bang."

The sound of light machine gun fire sounded, and Su Qian of the first independent detachment pulled the trigger of the crooked light machine gun, and the bullets were shot by Su Qian.

These bullets quickly hit the Japanese troops, and the two devil soldiers were caught off guard and killed directly, and with a burst of gunfire, the Japanese troops began to stop advancing, and they immediately began to set up grenadiers and light machine guns to counterattack.

But by the time their bullets came, Su Qian had already evacuated with his troops.

This is guerrilla warfare, firing a shot and leaving, without giving the Japanese troops a chance to react at all.

Under Sun Weiguo's order, the 1st Independent Detachment began to concentrate its main forces and launched a guerrilla war against the 1st and 2nd Brigades of the Japanese Army Reserve in Hequ County, delaying their entry into Wuzhai County.

At this time, after Kunomura Momoyo entered Hequ County with his troops, he began to get in touch with the 1st Japanese Reserve Brigade through the radio, and Kunomura Momoyo ordered his headquarters to immediately withdraw to Biguan County.

After receiving this order from Kunomura Momoyo, the two captains of the Japanese army began to gather together, and they began to discuss the retreat plan.

AFTER THE STUDY OF THE TWO GROUP LEADERS, THEY DECIDED TO TRANSFER THE MACHINE GUN SQUADRON OF THE FIRST RESERVE BRIGADE AND THE FOURTH SQUADRON OF THE SECOND RESERVE BRIGADE TO STAY BEHIND TO CONTAIN THE JAPANESE TROOPS, WHILE THE REST OF THE TROOPS WERE QUICKLY WITHDRAWN, AND AT THE SAME TIME, TWO 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS WERE ALSO LEFT BEHIND TO COVER THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE MAIN FORCE.

The Japanese troops had a very strict hierarchy, and the remaining units did not refuse orders, and they quickly began to occupy positions in nearby villages.

Two mountain guns were also erected, while the main Japanese force quickly fled towards Pianguan County.
