Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

"Commander, let us go.

Yu Ping asked for a fight.

Wang Qiuyun looked at Yu Ping, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, your county brigade will support the first battalion. Remember, when supporting, don't rush over. Look for the right opportunity, preferably to strike the enemy's waist from the flank."

"Yes."

Yu Ping took the order and led the county brigade to support the first battalion.

Wei Hongjun looked at the simple sand table prepared before the battle.

After Wang Qiuyun assigned tasks to the county brigade, he said, "Old Wang, you see, there's no need to stop Wu Qinghe's troops. Can we let Wu Qinghe's troops participate in the battle?

The ambush was launched too early.

As a result, the Japanese army chose to retreat, putting great pressure on the battalion behind. On the contrary, Wu Qinghe's troops who set up positions in the front did not encounter any enemies.

"chief of staff.

"arrive."

"Take the guard company to Wu Qinghe's headquarters. Have them abandon their established positions and join the battle to eliminate the enemy as quickly as possible. The guard company will be under Wu Qinghe's command, and the chief of staff will be accompanying the guard company."

"Yes."

This was the first time Wang Qiuyun commanded so many people in battle.

My heart was beating fast.

Now that Wang Qiuyun had sent out all his troops, only the logistics company was left. If the battle could not be resolved in a short time, they would be attacked by the Japanese army.

"Old Wang, you are too nervous.

Wei Hongjun patted Wang Qiuyun.

Then he pointed at the battlefield and said, "Look, although our ambush opened fire early and there were some minor flaws, it was still a success overall. Listen to the Japanese gunfire, there are not many Japanese soldiers still able to fight. As long as the first battalion can hold on, we will have no problem annihilating this Japanese force."

"It's a good thing we put the first battalion in the back to block the attack. I originally wanted to put the second battalion there. If the second battalion had been there, I can't guarantee that it could have held out."

Wang Qiuyun looked relieved.

Compared with the second battalion, the first battalion has stronger combat effectiveness.

"how long it has been?"

"It's been twenty-six minutes since the ambush began."

"Twenty-six minutes. One hour. The battle must be resolved within an hour. Then, within half an hour, we'll clean up the battlefield and have the troops leave. Otherwise, we'll be caught by the Japanese army, and it will be difficult to retreat."

Wang Qiuyun made up his mind. He mentally ordered, "All troops advance forward, crush the enemy, and destroy them."

Chapter 064 A great victory

“What are the casualties?

The Second Battalion suffered 17 killed and 26 wounded. The Special Service Company suffered 11 killed and 19 wounded. The Firepower Company suffered 6 killed and 4 wounded.

The guard company suffered nine killed and eight wounded. The county brigade suffered six killed and fourteen wounded. The total was forty-nine killed and seventy-one wounded.

"What about the First Battalion?

The first battalion suffered slightly greater casualties, with 32 killed, 47 wounded, and 79 wounded.

After hearing the casualty report, Wang Qiuyun and Wei Hongjun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The casualties were lower than expected.

The total casualties of all the troops were nearly 200.

It wasn't low, but it was still within acceptable limits. After all, Xuan had annihilated 150 Japanese and puppet troops this time. That said, the independent detachment had too many new recruits. If they had been veterans of the Eighth Route Army, equipped with such weapons and equipment, they could have eliminated such arrogant Japanese and puppet troops, especially since the Japanese only numbered around . They could have easily kept casualties under .

“Where is Wu Qinghe’s army?

“Their casualties numbered nearly forty.

"Why are there so many?"

"The casualties occurred when we surrounded the Japanese troops. We should have been the three of us surrounding them together, but the National Salvation Army was not proactive, which exposed Wu Qinghe's troops. Fortunately, Wu Qinghe's troops were brave. If it were our troops, we might have been defeated in that instant.

"What about the National Salvation Army?

"Their casualties appear to be substantial. Although they didn't exert much effort in the subsequent cleanup, I can see they have suffered quite a few casualties.

The casualties should not be too few.

Wang Qiuyun and Wei Hongjun both sighed.

The ambush, which had seemed almost certain to succeed, ended in such a huge loss of life. The combined casualties on all three sides were estimated to be over 500.

Not only were the Japanese troops annihilated, but there were also many puppet troops mixed in.

“What about the seizure?

Two hundred and seventy-nine Type 38 rifles, two heavy machine guns, four light machine guns, and five ammunition transporters. There were also many other weapons, all damaged on the battlefield. We didn't have much ammunition, not even enough for the ambush.

The ambush wasn't easy. Killing a 500-man force meant they should have had over 400 rifles. But they ultimately captured fewer than 300, and the remaining 100 or so were broken. Of the six heavy machine guns the Japanese and puppet troops brought with them, only two remained intact.

The other four heavy machine guns were destroyed by the dropped grenades.

"Didn't the National Salvation Army rob us?"

"They can't clean up the battlefield as well as we do. We've only cleaned up half the battlefield before they react."

The Eighth Route Army was really poor.

In other words, since the Red Army period, our Party has been developing in a poor environment. Therefore, for the Red Army and the Eighth Route Army, cleaning up the battlefield after fighting was a must.

You can forget anything, but you can't forget to clean up the battlefield.

In comparison, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was much wealthier.

Even though they have fallen to this point, they still don't have this kind of awareness.

"But I don't think they cared much. After we cleaned up the battlefield, they took away some of the more seriously damaged guns. They also took away some Japanese bodies.

"They're reporting their results. The troops should quickly clear the battlefield and then evacuate.

"Lao Wang, come here, let's discuss this.

Wei Hongjun pulled Wang Qiuyun aside.

Wei Hongjun said: "Old Wang, tell me, when the Japanese army sees this battlefield, will they give up attacking Sheng County or continue to attack Sheng County?"

Of course we continued the attack. They sent so many men this time, intending to completely annihilate the newly established Jinchazhen Military Region. How could they easily give up halfway? Furthermore, the Japanese 1st Independent Mixed Brigade has been unstoppable since joining the Shanxi battlefield. After we wiped out an entire squadron this time, they will surely seek revenge.

"They must have heard our gunfire. The Japanese army will surely speed up their march. Do you think the Japanese brigade's Hanzhong team can catch up with the main force?"

"what do you mean?"

"How about we take them down from this position? Let's leave their main force alone, we can't stop them anyway. When their main force enters Sheng County, we'll use a unit disguised as the main force to lure them over. We'll eliminate their main force here. We fired too many bullets in this ambush. If we don't replenish them, how can we fight in the future? A main force, even if it doesn't have many good things, is enough for us."

"Another fight?"

Wang Qiuyun said in embarrassment:

"Another ambush at the same place? Will the Japanese 1st Army be prepared?

"Old Wang, think about it. We let the main force go, and use a unit to disguise it as the main force. This way, the Axis Heavy Unit following behind will be careless and won't be prepared. Besides, the Japanese Axis Heavy Unit won't have many people, at most about 100. There may be some puppet troops following. But the Han Heavy Unit is the Han Heavy Unit, different from those infantry companies. As long as we concentrate a force of to people, we can quickly resolve the battle.

The Hanzhong Team belongs to the logistics branch.

If an infantry squadron of 100 men had 70 or 80 rifles, then a 100-man detachment probably had less than 50 rifles. Only about 30 or 40. This was because the detachment was different from the infantry squadron.

"That makes sense. But it's a bit risky.

"It seems risky, but if successful, the benefits will be significant. Furthermore, the distance between the main Japanese force and the Hanzhong team won't be too close. It would be best if we formed a large force to attract the Japanese Tiandi team, causing them to speed up and increase the distance between them and the Axizhong team. Even if the main force returns for support, we don't have to worry. We can just retreat along this mountain. It might be a long detour, but we can return to Sheng County safely."

Wild Bear Valley is really suitable for ambushes.

It would be a pity to give up.

Wang Qiuyun nodded and said, "Then, fight.

"Old Wang, this is what I think. You lead the main force to retreat, but do it with great fanfare, and mobilize the main Japanese force. I will lead the first battalion and the special forces company to ambush the Japanese Hanzhong team here.

"That won't do. You lead your troops to retreat, and I'll set up an ambush here.

"Old Wang, when we were in the Soviet area, everyone knew that you were the best at leading the enemy by the nose. Whether we could defeat the enemy's Hanzhong unit depended on whether you could lead the Japanese Tian unit away."

"Old Wei, you're right. When it comes to pulling the strings of the enemy, I'm quite experienced. Back then, a few hundred of our battalion disguised themselves as the main force and drove two enemy divisions into a frenzy.

Speaking of this, Wang Qiuyun was very proud.

Because this was Wang Qiuyun's specialty when she was in the Soviet area.

To the point where, for a while, whenever there was a mission like this, the superiors would ask Wang Qiuyun to take charge. And every time, Wang Qiuyun was very successful. With a few hundred people, he could disguise himself as thousands.

At that time, even the leaders of the corps knew Wang Qiuyun's name.

"Alright, Old Wei, I'm worried about only giving you the First Battalion and the Special Agent Company.

I'll leave the Second Battalion to you as well. You'll have enough troops to do anything.

"If you leave the First Battalion, the Second Battalion, and the Special Service Company to me, what if the Japanese army attacks Songjiazhuang? You must have troops at your disposal.

Don't worry. I still have the county brigade, the recruit battalion, the guard company, and the logistics company at my disposal. Together, they make up a considerable force. I haven't considered a head-on confrontation with the Japanese. If they really hold on, I'll just have to flee. So, I don't need so many troops. And there's Wu Qinghe's unit. If the Japanese enter Sheng County, they won't be able to return to Beishuigou Town anytime soon, so they'll have to stay with us.

"it is good."

Wei Hongjun was not polite.

Time is precious now, and neither of them has time to argue.

So he said, "Before I came here, I heard from Comrade Duan Chengwei of the County Party Committee that since Yangquan Town and Xiaquan Town began their rent and interest reduction policies, many young people have wanted to join the army. Furthermore, many farmers in the areas of Yangquan Town and Xiaquan Town, driven to poverty by local tyrants and evil gentry, have fled to the mountains to become local gentry. Some local gentry have already expressed their desire to come down the mountain and accept our reorganization. If you encounter such a situation after you return, please arrange it as soon as possible. For us now, one more person means one more force."

"Okay, I get it.

"Report.

"What's wrong?

“The Japanese troops were spotted at Wuli.

"The Japanese are moving very fast. Old Wei, there's no time for discussion. I'm going to evacuate my troops immediately. I'm going to signal the main Japanese force to go into hiding and have them follow us. You have to pay attention."

"Don't worry, we'll be back as soon as we can after we've dealt with the Japanese Axis Heavy Corps. Take care.

"Take care of yourself.
