Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

Thinking of this, Commander Huang immediately issued an order to the 21st Regiment, asking it to harass the Japanese regiment at night and make it unable to sleep at night.

At the same time, the 6th Regiment retreated to the mountains to rest.

Who made them spend the night in Li Dongwang Village? Is it really a good place for you Japanese devils to spend the night in a village in the Eighth Route Army base?

The only pity is that there is not enough explosives. Most of the explosives must be used in the rear to block the Japanese reinforcements. Otherwise, if the entire village is buried with explosives, it will be enough to cause trouble for this regiment.

As Commander Huang issued the order, the commander of the 21st Regiment, Han Guangyu, began to lead the 21st Regiment to hide underground in the village where the Japanese troops were resting along the tunnel.

Early morning on the 30th.

At this time, most of the Japanese troops in the village, except for some sentries, began to rest.

In the kitchen of a private house, a stone slab suddenly loosened, and then the entire stone slab was lifted up by a pair of hands, and then a figure appeared under the stove.

Afterwards, figures began to emerge from the stove one after another, quietly checking the sleeping Japanese soldiers in each room.

Then, everyone quietly pulled out the grenade fuses, tied them up one by one and began to place booby traps everywhere.

Finally, wait until most people retreat to the tunnel.

He took out a grenade, pulled the fuse, and threw it into the room where the Japanese soldiers were resting, then evacuated the tunnel.

Suddenly, the whole village was filled with explosions.

The whole village suddenly became lively.

In a house in the center of the village, the commander of the 136th Regiment was awakened by a series of explosions.

He immediately stood up and called the guard to ask him to find out what happened.

It was just that Nagata Fumio was lucky, because the house he lived in was the residence of a former village chief. The village chief had just been eliminated by the armed work team behind enemy lines not long ago, and had not had time to dig a tunnel. Otherwise, Nagata Fumio would have been in danger of life or death.

After a while, the chief of staff ran in with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Your Excellency, the commander of the regiment, we were attacked in the village. The Eighth Route Army sneaked in through the tunnel at the entrance of the village."

"A large number of grenades were planted and the troops suffered heavy losses."

Upon hearing this, Nagata Fumio's face suddenly turned dark.

We had checked during the day, and some of the discovered holes were directly sealed with large stones by the locust army, but we didn't expect that they still hadn't checked thoroughly.

If I had known this earlier, I would have let the troops camp outside the village. At that time, I thought that the locust army was very tired after marching for a whole day and being harassed by the Eighth Route Army. If they camped in the wild, it would affect the morale of the army.

I didn't expect something like this to happen.

Afterwards, Nagata Fumio immediately asked people to count the casualties and decided to set up camp outside the village again.

I don’t care about that anymore.

Half an hour later, at a tent outside the village.

Nosuke Matsushita was reporting to Fumio Nagata the losses suffered after the sneak attack by the Eighth Route Army.

As Nosuke Matsushita reported, Fumio Nagata's expression gradually became serious.

After thinking for a while, he immediately ordered the signalman to send a telegram to a battalion in Wangdu, ordering them to set off immediately to the regiment headquarters.

At the same time, he reported to the division headquarters what had happened before and requested an additional regiment in Wangdu so that it could support the 136th Regiment at any time.

It turned out that after the 139th Regiment lost three squadrons during the day's march, the entire force was reduced to just a little more than a battalion.

The results just calculated scared Fumio Nagata.

In the explosion just now, the entire army lost more than 200 people, and more than 500 people were injured to varying degrees.

As a result, the entire regiment had less than 700 troops capable of taking up arms and fighting.

When he thought of the large number of Eighth Route Army troops around, Nagata Fumio suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

As early as when I came to the battlefield in China, I heard that the North China Front Army had lost countless regiments. I scoffed at it at the time, but I didn't expect that my regiment would suffer such a thing just after I set foot on the battlefield.
