Chapter 158: The Eighth Route Army Headquarters is Shocked
After the battle, the soldiers of the county brigade quickly began to clean up the battlefield.
Gaoda walked in Xiaoli Village. There were huge bomb craters everywhere and the bodies of Japanese soldiers were scattered all over the ground. The scene was horrific.
A large number of Japanese soldiers were killed by artillery shells in this general attack. In order to completely wipe out the Japanese Fourth Brigade, the county brigade moved all the artillery shells out of the warehouse.
Gundam continued walking towards the center of the village.
Li Dakang rushed over happily with a knife.
"Captain, we found the enemy's headquarters. All the devils inside were blown to death."
"Look, I found the Japs' general's sword."
Li Dakang raised the saber in his hand.
Gundam grabbed the saber and pulled it out.
The blade is particularly bright in the sunlight, like a mirror.
"A good sword, worthy of being a Japanese general's sword."
"The craftsmanship is amazing. I'll take this knife."
Li Dakang was dumbfounded.
"Oh, no, I'll just show you."
"You actually tried to snatch my knife. Captain, you are so rude."
Gundam smiled and said, "Hahaha, once this knife falls into my hands, it's mine. You can go find another one."
"Okay, then I'll give you this knife. Fortunately, there are a few lieutenant's swords in the command center." Li Dakang said unhappily.
When Gundam heard this, his eyes lit up.
"Captain Dakang, you take one of the lieutenant's swords, and put away the others. I will give them to the brigade commander and the head of the headquarters."
"Yes, Captain."
After Li Dakang finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Gaoda found Kong Jie in the center of the village.
"Lao Kong, tell the soldiers to clean up the battlefield quickly. We will retreat."
"The Japanese reinforcements are on the way."
"Yes, Captain."
After half an hour.
The soldiers of the county brigade cleaned up the battlefield and evacuated Xiaoli Village.
Shortly after.
The Japanese reinforcements arrived at Xiaoli Village.
At this time, Xiaoli Village was empty. All the Eighth Route Army soldiers had disappeared, leaving only the corpses of the Japanese devils all over the ground.
The Japanese captain looked at the devastated Xiaoli Village and couldn't help feeling terrified. The 4th Brigade was actually wiped out. This was simply too terrible.
The Japanese captain immediately sent a telegram to the Taiyuan headquarters.
After receiving the telegram, Yoshio Kozuka's face turned blue with anger.
"Bagaya road!"
"The Eighth Route Army County Battalion is dead."
"Adjutant, pass on my order to immediately dispatch the 36th Division to completely destroy the Ping'an County Brigade."
"Hi."
Just as the Japanese adjutant was about to go down to convey the order, he was stopped by the Japanese chief of staff.
"Commander, the 36th Division cannot be mobilized now, but the hundreds of thousands of Central Army troops in the Zhongtiao Mountain area are not made of paper.
Once we mobilize the 36th Division, the Central Army will most likely take the initiative to attack, and then the other two divisions will be in danger......."
After hearing what the chief of staff said, Yoshio Kozuka calmed down.
The First Army has three divisions confronting the Central Army's troops of more than 36 in the Zhongtiao Mountain area. Although the Central Army has not come out of Zhongtiao Mountain yet, once the th Division is transferred away, the Central Army is likely to attack into Shanxi.
Now he has no other troops to mobilize. A large number of troops are needed in various places to maintain order. The 4th Brigade is the only troop he can mobilize freely, but now it has been wiped out by an armed force of the Eighth Route Army.
"idiot!"
Yoshio Kozuka slammed the table beside him.
"boom."
The loud noise frightened the other Japanese officers in the headquarters.
"Chief of Staff, are we just going to allow the Ping'an County Brigade to grow stronger?" Yoshio Ozuka said angrily.
"Commander, we don't have any extra troops to encircle and suppress the Ping'an County Brigade."
"I propose to request the North China Front Army to send troops to support us."
After hearing the chief of staff's words, Yoshio Ozuka fell into deep thought.
In fact, he did not want to ask Commander Tada Shun for soldiers, as this would only make him look incompetent.
But the current situation is that he has to ask the North China Front Army for troops. In addition to dealing with the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, the First Army also has to deal with the Shanxi Suiyuan Army and the Central Army.
The First Army has a size of less than 8 people and is simply unable to defend an area as large as Shanxi. Apart from major cities, they have no reach to other vast rural areas.
Kozuka Yoshio sighed.
"Chief of Staff, send a telegram to the North China Front Army Headquarters, requesting that the North China Front Army send troops into Shanxi."
"Hai."
..............
The Eighth Route Army Headquarters in Daxiawan.
The chief of staff received news from the intelligence personnel below.
When he saw the contents of the telegram, he was completely shocked. He simply couldn't believe what was written on the telegram.
The Japanese 4th Brigade was completely wiped out, and it was the Ping'an County Battalion of the Eighth Route Army that wiped it out.
"Damn, is this true?" the chief of staff cursed.
Then, he was ecstatic. This was a great news.
If we tell others that the Eighth Route Army wiped out the Japanese Fourth Brigade, who would believe it?
But it is what it is.
The chief of staff rushed to the headquarters in ecstasy.
The voice arrived before anyone even entered the command center.
"Commander, this is a great victory. We have won a great victory."
The leaders in the command center were very confused when they heard the chief of staff's voice.
There are no troops fighting now, so how can there be any great victory?
The chief of staff ran into the headquarters panting.
"Chief of Staff, what did you just say?"
"Where was the great victory won?" the leader asked.
"Commander, the intelligence personnel below just sent back news that the Japanese Fourth Brigade has been completely wiped out."
The chief's face changed and he said loudly.
"Tell me quickly, which friendly army unit is so powerful that it actually wiped out the Japanese Fourth Brigade."
The Chief of Staff shouted excitedly.
"Commander, it was not someone else but our own Eighth Route Army who wiped out the Fourth Brigade of the Japanese."
"The Ping'an County Brigade surrounded and wiped out the fourth brigade of the Japanese."
The chief of staff's words made everyone in the command center look at him in shock.
There was only one thought in everyone's mind at this moment.
What the hell!
really?
When did the county brigade become so powerful?
The chief asked in shock.
"Is what you just said true?"
"Our Ping'an County Battalion wiped out the fourth brigade of the Japanese."
The chief of staff nodded heavily.
The chief was overjoyed upon seeing this.
"Hahaha, okay, okay, okay"
"I never thought that our county brigade could actually wipe out the Japanese Fourth Brigade."
"Chief of Staff, the captain of the Ping'an County Brigade is so-and-so. I want to reward him greatly. It's simply a miracle."
