Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

After the cold gunshot, he used the terrain of Zhangjiagou Village to hide himself. In the dark early morning, the villagers of Zhangjiagou Village were familiar with the roads. Many of them grew up in Zhangjiagou Village and knew how to navigate many roads with their eyes closed.

But the Japanese army couldn't do that.

The guerrilla squads moved left and right, up and down, forward and backward, leaving the Japanese army disoriented. Each attack resulted in pitifully few casualties. Sometimes, a single surprise attack would cause no casualties at all. But when so many small squads attacked, the casualties added up to a significant number. Within three hours, the Japanese had once again suffered over a dozen casualties.

So what Aso Akashi is thinking about now is how to get back safely.

He needed to return home and think it over carefully. He also needed to write down the course of this battle and report it to his superiors. The Eighth Route Army's tactics were completely different from those of the Japanese army's previous opponents, so they must be taken seriously.

Of course, the first thing is to go back.

However, as soon as they moved, they were spotted by the guerrillas who were keeping an eye on the Japanese. Even Wei Hongjun, outside Zhangjiagou Village, had seen the Japanese movements. Zhang Dahu was already impressed. Although the guerrillas' tactics didn't seem particularly fair, they were incredibly effective.

He had fought for so many years that he was almost losing confidence.

Zhang Dahu once believed that China could not defeat Japan. If that were not the case, he would not have left the army. When Li Shiping kept Zhang Dahu, if Zhang Dahu had not considered Li Shiping's face, he would not have helped Zhang Dahu to form a guerrilla force. Because in Zhang Dahu's view, guerrilla forces were just childish play.

But now the idea has completely changed.

The small Zhangjiagou Village guerrillas, a group of newly recruited soldiers, had actually brought an entire Japanese squadron to the brink of collapse. Zhang Dahu had never imagined such a thing before. His lost confidence began to return.

"Chief of Staff, please count carefully and see how many of them there are."

"Yes."

Compared with some others, Zhang Dahu is a military talent who has truly received formal education.

Observation skills are very good.

A short time later, he came to Wei Hongjun and said, “There are only 59 Japanese soldiers who can still march on their own.

But they also have 21 seriously injured soldiers. As for the security team, there are only 16 people. In addition to those we captured, the commander and his men should have captured quite a few more.

Zhang Dahu was very excited when he said this.

It's only been one day and one night.

Of a force of over 167, only about 80 remained. Furthermore, the Japanese had 87 men when they set out, but now, including the wounded and the seriously injured, there were only . In other words, the guerrillas had killed Japanese soldiers in that one day and one night.

It's really amazing.

Zhang Dahu was even a little tempted to do something. He said to Wei Hongjun, "Instructor, there are only about sixty devils capable of fighting. Those seriously injured are a complete burden. We might as well eat them."

"More than sixty people are still difficult to deal with."

Wei Hongjun shook his head.

He said, "Most of our men are new recruits, so they can launch surprise attacks. But if we confront the Japanese head-on, they are no match. Moreover, we are few in number and cannot hold so many of them. What we need to do now is to continue to fight them in a 'sparrow war', weakening their strength and slowing down their march. When the commander and his men arrive with a large force, we can consider how to annihilate them. Chief of Staff, there is one thing you must remember. Fighting the Japanese devils is not a matter of one day or one night. We cannot defeat them in one or two months, or even one or two years. We must be prepared for a long-term war. If we want to fight a long-term war, we cannot always think of resolving the battle in one go."

Wei Hongjun patted Zhang Dahu on the shoulder.

Zhang Dahu is just not used to the Eighth Route Army's fighting style, which does not mean that he has no military ability.

On the contrary, the Eighth Route Army is in great need of such military cadres. Therefore, Wei Hongjun is willing to spend more energy to win over Zhang Dahu.

"Conde."

"arrive."

"How's the rest of the troops?"

"It's okay. Some people didn't get enough rest because of the constant gunfire in Zhangjiagou Village last night. But most people rested well."

"That's good. Just like yesterday, the troops will continue to divide into small teams to harass the Japanese, kill and wound them, and delay their retreat."

"Yes."

A new soldier becomes a veteran after fighting one battle.

After yesterday's day of fighting, the special forces team suffered some casualties, but they gradually became familiar with the "Sparrow Warfare" and began to better understand how to attack the enemy and how to protect themselves.

As soon as the gunshots were heard, Wang Qiuyun led a large force to attack quickly.

Soon he met up with Wei Hongjun.

After hearing about the current situation of the Japanese army, Wang Qiuyun frowned and said, "There are still so many people left."

"Commander, we are far more numerous than the Japanese. The special forces are slowing down the Japanese advance. Let's hurry over and wipe out this group of Japanese troops."

Gao Wei heard that there were only eighty Japanese soldiers left, and about twenty of them were seriously injured.

Therefore, he immediately challenged Wang Qiuyun to a fight.

Wang Qiuyun shook his head and said, "There are still too many Japanese troops. Most of us are new recruits. If we face them head-on, even if we can surround and annihilate them, our casualties will be heavy. There's only one squadron of devils in the entire Sheng County. Even if we let them go this time, we'll have plenty of opportunities to destroy them in the future."

"Commander, are we just going to watch them leave?"

"of course not."

Wang Qiuyun snorted coldly, "How could it be that easy? I remember the regiment commander once taught us that we should surround the enemy on three sides and leave one side open, giving them room to escape. If we surround and annihilate the Japanese, they will surely fight us to the death. If we pursue them and give them room to escape, I don't think they will fight us to the death."

"Old Wang, you are such a devil."

Wei Hongjun immediately understood what Wang Qiuyun meant.

Zhang Dahu quickly understood Wang Qiuyun's point and agreed, "The commander's point is that if we give the Japanese a chance to escape, they'll run for their lives. Right now, the Japanese not only have seriously wounded soldiers, but also many with minor injuries. If that happens, not only will the seriously wounded be unable to escape, but even the minor wounded will be left behind."

"Yes."

"We can't kill so many of them this time, but if we can kill half of them, we'll have won a great victory."

Chapter 020 Victory 3

After Wang Qiuyun expressed her idea, Zhang Dahu immediately began to formulate a battle plan.

What does the Chief of Staff do?

The chief of staff was responsible for helping the military commander formulate battle plans. Although Zhang Dahu had not yet fully understood the Eighth Route Army's fighting style, he had no problem formulating a plan for the troops to pursue the Japanese army.

This is Zhang Dahu's specialty.

"Da da da"

"boom"

"bang bang"

The special forces had previously been a fire-and-run operation, but suddenly their firepower increased. Even at its peak, the Japanese army had little to offer against the special forces' "sparrow warfare," let alone now, with their forces now relegated and defeated.

The Japanese army was currently facing a situation where there were many seriously wounded and many lightly wounded. Carrying the seriously wounded was a very slow process. Furthermore, in addition to the security corps, there were about 30 Japanese soldiers who could only carry stretchers and were unable to participate in the battle.

This meant that only about thirty Japanese troops were currently able to participate in the battle. With such a small force, they were completely helpless against the secret service's surprise attack, and casualties mounted rapidly. Less than ten miles from Zhangjiagou Village, casualties had risen by over a dozen.

"Lieutenant, the Chinese troops are chasing us."

"Baga, they want to eat us."

Aso Akashi understood why the special forces had suddenly intensified their attacks. They were trying to capture them all and then surround and annihilate them. But Aso Akashi had no other options. The troops were marching slowly, and at their current pace, it would take another half a day. Aso Akashi had no confidence he could bring all the troops back.

"Mr. Aso, let's go quickly. If we waste time here, we will be completely wiped out."

Zheng Jinsheng ran to Aso Akashi.

He spoke nervously to Aso Akashi. Aso Akashi glanced at Zheng Jinsheng, then turned his head and looked at the seriously injured soldiers.

In fact, some seriously injured soldiers are in a bad condition. Even if they are brought back, it is still a question whether they can survive or even whether they can return to the battlefield if they survive.

But he couldn't abandon them.

Losing wounded soldiers on the battlefield is a huge blow to military morale.

But it's different now.

Zheng Jinsheng was right. We had to make a decision now. If we continued to take these seriously injured soldiers with us, none of them would be able to escape.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant, I will take them and stay."

The Japanese army at this time was still very fanatical.

The eyes of the seriously wounded showed not despair but fanaticism. They knew the consequences of being left behind, but they refused to retreat. It was precisely because of this that the 115th Division failed to capture any Japanese prisoners at Pingxingguan.

These Japanese soldiers are all fanatical militarists.

Aso Akashi raised his hand and said, "For His Majesty the Emperor!"

"For His Majesty the Emperor!"

Aso Akashi left behind 21 seriously wounded soldiers and three lightly wounded soldiers to block the pursuers. This was what Gao Wei saw when he followed up with a guerrilla team.

"Comrades, the enemy is all wounded. Charge forward and kill them."

"Go ahead"

"boom"

"Da da da"

Although some seriously injured soldiers were unable to fight, some were still able to shoot.

Aso Akashi even left them a light machine gun.

Facing the team led by Gao Wei, he was not afraid at all.

"What a bastard."

Gao Wei saw several people fall down nearby and immediately asked his troops to find cover.

"Li Yong, Li Yong. Where are your machine guns?"

"Captain Gao, what kind of war are you fighting? Didn't the commander say that we should cut the meat with a blunt knife and slowly eat away the Japanese army?"

"It's not your turn to teach me a lesson."

Gao Wei was very angry.

In terms of seniority, Gao Wei is much more experienced than Li Yong.

During the Red Army era, Gao Wei was a company-level officer, while Li Yong was only a platoon-level officer. After the reorganization of the Eighth Route Army, Gao Wei became a platoon leader, while Li Yong was only a squad leader. Now, being reprimanded by Li Yong, Gao Wei, already in a bad mood, immediately retorted. Li Yong snorted coldly and deployed his two light machine guns.

The wounded Japanese soldiers were the rearguard troops and had no heavy weapons in their hands.

Gao Wei had two light machine guns and three times as many wounded Japanese soldiers. While the Japanese had better marksmanship, the guerrillas had the advantage in firepower. Gao Wei had made some mistakes earlier, but he was, after all, a grassroots commander who had experienced the Long March.

The problem of the wounded soldiers was soon discovered.

He immediately ordered: "Occupy the high ground on both sides and support us. We will eliminate this enemy in a short time."

After all, they were seriously injured.
