Most of the officers and soldiers of Liu Jingnuan's guard even had the idea of defecting to Sun Weiguo, but they didn't say this idea, but everyone knew it.

Tang Chunhua also gradually understood that the guard company he brought was no longer following his own deployment.

looked at Tang Chunhua in front of him, and after looking at Sun Weiguo not far away, Tang Chunhua had a smile on his face and walked towards Sun Weiguo.

He knew that if he wanted to save his life now, he had to have a good relationship with Sun Weiguo, and it would not do him any good to anger Sun Weiguo.

Tang Chunhua, who came to Sun Weiguo's side, naturally wanted to curry favor with Sun Weiguo, but Sun Weiguo ignored Tang Chunhua's currying.

He was worried about the wounded in the regimental positions, and he was also worried about the armored company and the cavalry battalion.

This time, the independent regiment was wounded, the infantry battalion was almost completely wiped out, and two of the three company commanders were wounded.

The cavalry battalion and the armored company were the last strength of the independent regiment, and if something went wrong with them, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Sun Weiguo, who was hiding under the eaves, frowned tightly, and he looked at the regimental headquarters position with worried eyes.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, the troops of the armored company unexpectedly appeared outside the village of Nanru Village, and after receiving the report, Sun Weiguo hurriedly came to the outside of the village.

The Panzer Company took action against Tianjing Village only after meeting with the troops on Naozhai Mountain, and their strength currently occupies a large part of the remaining strength of the Independent Regiment.

When he came to the outside of the village, the cold air blew into Sun Weiguo's body, and the biting cold wind made Sun Weiguo feel as if he had fallen into ice water.

Yin Jinshan, the company commander of the armored company, walked quickly in front of Sun Weiguo with a sad face, his eyes looked at Sun Weiguo, and he stopped talking.

Sun Weiguo glanced around, the losses of the armored company were not small, and the number of tanks and armored vehicles, as well as anti-tank guns, was significantly reduced.

Looking at the several artillery pieces towed in the back of the truck, Sun Weiguo felt someone stab him in the heart.

The artillery battalion of the independent regiment is a reinforced artillery battalion, and the whole battalion has twelve mountain guns and more than twenty mortars.

However, now the armored company only brought four 41-type mountain guns, the commander of the artillery battalion was killed in battle, three company commanders were killed and two were wounded, and the whole battalion had less than 100 surviving artillerymen.

The losses of the artillery battalion were heavy, and it was a battalion-sized unit that was crippled by the Japanese after the infantry battalion.

"Liu Xi, the second company commander Liu Xi." Sun Weiguo looked left and right, and his face turned pale.

A dozen infantrymen came over carrying a stretcher, on which lay a man in military uniform, his eyes tightly closed.

The man on the stretcher was none other than Liu Xi, the commander of the second company.

Liu Xi was hit by a Japanese light machine gun bullet during the breakout of Tianjing Village, and he was hit by five bullets at the same time, one of which hit him in the heart.

At present, only more than 20 lightly wounded soldiers in the second company can barely fight, and only six platoon commanders of the three platoon commanders, Wang Tieniu, survive.

Sun Weiguo looked at Liu Xi's corpse blankly, thinking of the officers and soldiers who died that day, Sun Weiguo felt indescribable pain in his heart.

"Deputy Commander." Chen Zhengwei, the guard squad leader, obviously saw Sun Weiguo's body swaying slightly, and when he saw that there was obviously blood on Sun Weiguo's chest, he hurriedly supported Sun Weiguo's body.

"The bodies of the dead officers and soldiers will be buried on the spot, and the officers and men of the artillery battalion and infantry battalion will be temporarily incorporated into the armored company, Yin Jinshan, and the guard post will be strengthened, and the troops will rest here."

Sun Weiguo reluctantly gave the order, he closed his eyes in pain,

Yin Jinshan immediately carried out Sun Weiguo's order, and the soldiers began to bury the bodies of Liu Xi and others.

At the same time, tanks and armored vehicles began to be deployed around the village to serve as a protective role.

Wang Tieniu commanded more than 20 infantry to be incorporated into the armored company, and Li Jiaxin, who was the least wounded, commanded four mountain artillery guns to also be incorporated into the armored company.

This day was the most difficult day for the Binh Dinh County Independent Regiment, and it was also the day when the Independent Regiment suffered the greatest casualties since its establishment.

It was also on this day that the Independent Regiment of Pingding County of the Eighth Route Army of the Second War Zone became famous all over the world.

After the Central News Agency received the telegram from Zhang Yue, they began to report at length on the battle of the Pingding County Independent Regiment.

Not only in China, but also in foreign newspapers to which Catherine belonged, began to report on the battle.

The Japanese army gathered tens of thousands of troops to carry out an encirclement and annihilation operation against a regiment-level unit of the Eighth Route Army, and for a time it spread almost all over the world.

Especially in China, almost everyone knows that there was a siege and annihilation operation in Pingding County, Shanxi Province, where there was a huge disparity in troops.

The telegrams from the headquarters of the commander of the Second Theater began one after another, and they were sent directly to the radio station of the Independent Regiment, and Yan Xishan kept asking about the situation of the Independent Regiment.

Sun Weiguo was too lazy to pay attention to Yan Xishan's telegram, but Sun Weiguo quickly replied to the telegram sent by the head of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters and the head of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.

When they learned that the troops of the Independent Regiment had broken through, the leaders of the Eighth Route Army breathed a sigh of relief, but they were very worried that the Independent Regiment would be completely annihilated.

At one o'clock in the morning, the cavalry battalion that had launched an attack on the county seat of Pingding County gave up the attack, and the cavalry battalion quickly withdrew according to the plan.

But Chen Guitang didn't know that the troops of the 20th Division in Yangquan County had already reacted.

Lieutenant General Kawagishi Fumizaburo, commander of the 20th Division, received a strong telegram from Yamashita Fumi, and he immediately dispatched two tank squadrons and a cavalry wing to reinforce him.

And the direction of the cavalry battalion's withdrawal happened to be here in Yangquan County, which meant that the two sides were likely to encounter each other on the way.

Beiping, the headquarters of the North China Front, is already past one o'clock in the morning.

The battle on the Pingding County side was directly planned by the staff officers of the North China Front Command, but for this battle, the North China Front did not intervene after that.

In the eyes of these command personnel, they have mobilized enough troops to encircle and annihilate Sun Weiguo's independent regiment, and this time Sun Weiguo's troops will definitely be completely annihilated.

It was only after a day of fighting that the North China Front command began to realize that something was wrong.

In particular, after the major newspapers reported on the situation of the battle, the commander of the North China Front, Shouichi Terauchi, did not rest, but came to the headquarters in person.

After continuously inquiring about the current situation, Terauchi Shouichi's face turned iron-blue.

After a day of fighting, the garrison corps, which had more than 10,000 troops, did not completely annihilate the independent regiment, but allowed the other side to break through.

For Shouichi Terauchi, this is simply a great shame, and if Yamashita Fumimi is in front of him, he will definitely slap Yamashita Fumi.

"Your Excellency, Commander, a telegram of inquiry has been sent from the base camp, and they are very dissatisfied with this operation."

At this time, the chief of staff of the North China Front, Okabe Naosaburo, came to Terauchi Shouichi, and he still had a telegram in his hand that he had just received.
