Chapter 365 Gaojia Town Crisis 5
"Bagayalu, where's Miss Hua? Why aren't there any Chinese people in sight?"
Half an hour later, the Japanese soldiers searched the entire Majia Village but found no one. Captain Ishino was immediately furious.
After being stuck in Baoding for so long, he wanted to have some fun this time. However, he failed at the first stop, which made him feel extremely depressed.
"Sir, the squadron leader found an old man and has been brought here."
Captain Ishino's face immediately turned green at the words of his squad leader. So what if there is no one there? Why are you searching for an old man? You might as well leave him there.
Especially after seeing the dying old man, Captain Ishino became even angrier.
There was no doubt that the squad leader had received a few slaps for no reason, except that Captain Ishino was angry.
After a few minutes of stalemate, Captain Ishino asked coldly, "Have you found any food, pigs, sheep, or anything else?"
"Sir Captain, we only found a small amount of coarse grain. The rest was taken away by the Chinese people!"
When the team leader who came later saw his colleague being slapped, his voice became softer, and he didn't dare to offend Ishino at all.
"Bakayaloo! All the houses have been burned down, and all the wells have been filled up."
Captain Ishino, furious, began to vent his dissatisfaction on the houses of ordinary people.
Not satisfied after saying that, he pulled out the Nambu pistol from his waist and shot the dying old man.
boom!
Gunshots rang out and the old man left.
In fact, if he really didn't want to leave, the militia soldiers would have taken him out. Unfortunately, he felt that his time was up, so he chose to stay at home and wait for death.
Ten minutes later, thick smoke billowed from the entire village of Majia Village, and with the help of the wind, a raging fire soon broke out...
Captain Ishino left and returned to the team with his two squads of Japanese soldiers.
Little did he know that their actions were clearly seen by the militia soldiers who were left behind to conduct reconnaissance in the distance.
"Company Commander, let's go kill these beasts. The Japanese burned down our home and my great-grandfather..."
Ma Xiaoxi, a soldier from the militia company, pleaded in a tearful voice.
Company commander Ma Sanjin is also from the village and understands Ma Xiaoxi's feelings very well.
However, since he was elected as the company commander of the Majia Village militia company, his abilities must be good.
He knew very well that with just a few of them, and being fresh recruits who had no experience of the battlefield, it was impossible for them to defeat these little devils.
Militiamen need to be tempered and also need to go through the baptism of war.
"Xiaoxi, you have to stay calm. The villagers have already evacuated. You have to trust the soldiers of the Independent Regiment. They will definitely avenge us."
"Now most of our independent regiment's main forces are out fighting the Japanese invaders, so we have to rely on ourselves at home."
Ma Sanjin was trying to persuade his younger brother, but he was also trying to persuade himself.
This crisis is for the entire Gaojia Town, and their danger has just begun.
"Xiao Xi, I have a mission for you. We still have a lot of grenades in the company. Bury them along the roadside later. Don't bury them too close together."
"Remember, try to place the minefield towards Vulture Mountain."
In order to divert everyone's attention, Ma Sanjin came up with this idea.
The people of Majia Village are not in Vulture Mountain, but in another direction.
He planned to make arrangements in advance so that if the Japanese searched the mountain, he could mislead them.
After receiving the mission, Ma Xiaoxi naturally didn't say anything else and walked back with a row of soldiers.
Wu Mazi naturally heard the noises coming from Majia Village while the 37th Battalion was in ambush position, but he didn't care. The people had already evacuated, and it was just a few houses. The Japanese could do whatever they wanted to them.
They are even going to give up Gaojia Town, so Majia Village is not worth mentioning.
Anyway, Gu Changfeng will get the money and lead everyone to rebuild their homes.
Huangtuling battlefield, time goes back a few hours ago.
Gu Changfeng brought more than 2,000 militia soldiers to the Qiantian Regiment's security zone. Colonel Qiantian, the regiment commander, soon received reports from his subordinates.
"Sir, a group of Chinese have arrived from our northeast. They number about one or two thousand and are equipped with a large number of Imperial weapons."
"But our people found that these people didn't carry many heavy weapons, only some machine guns."
Hearing this, Colonel Chida's brows almost turned into a "川" shape.
It doesn't matter whether the weapons are heavy or not. The people on the opposite side are obviously reinforcements of the independent regiment. As long as he dares to move, the people on the position inside will come out.
In fact, the battle has continued to this point, and he is very clear that he can no longer fight. The problem is that the division commander and brigade commander have not said to evacuate, so he, as a regiment commander, can only bite the bullet and continue.
"Reporting to His Excellency, the commander of the regiment, news has come from the front that the Chinese on the position have begun a counterattack."
Colonel Chida understood what the communications soldier said. He guessed right that the army outside was indeed about to enter.
Without thinking too long, Colonel Chida said, "Order all frontline units to withdraw from the battlefield and reduce defense."
He is now prepared to bide his time. If the fighting continues, his newly replenished regiment will be destroyed. Will he still be able to serve as the regiment commander then?
Of course, it’s not that he doesn’t want to destroy the Independent Regiment. The problem is that the heavy artillery regiment has been destroyed, and their entire 26th Division has not been able to take the Huangtuling position or defeat the Independent Regiment so far.
Sadao Chida is a smart man, especially after fighting with the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the Independent Regiment.
"Reporting to Commander Gu, the Japanese have opened the way and it seems they want us to enter."
A militia soldier who was scouting ahead discovered that the Japanese had retreated, and quickly ran back to the team to report to Gu Changfeng.
Hearing this, Gu Changfeng said with some amusement: "It seems that these devils have been frightened and dare not attack."
He then looked at several deputy company commanders of the militia companies and gave direct orders: "Let the soldiers be on alert and quickly pass through the enemy area."
He still had to make the necessary preparations, as he was afraid that the Japanese would set a trap for him.
Moreover, he believed that if the Japanese commander knew that he was inside, the Japanese would be able to capture him even if they had to fight with the entire regiment. There was no need to think about it.
Indeed, Chida Sadao didn't know that the captain Gu Changfeng was inside, otherwise he would never have been able to shrink his defense.
Half an hour later, Gu Changfeng was successfully taken to Huangtuling by Luo Xiong.
The Japs did not attack, and they simply retreated and took a defensive stance against the counterattack of the Fifth Battalion soldiers.
This situation made Gu Changfeng realize instantly that the Japanese didn't want to fight anymore, which was a good thing.
Just as he was about to express his thoughts, Luo Xiong spoke up: "Captain, Gaojia Town was attacked by the Japanese, and fighting has already begun."
Gu Changfeng's radio sometimes worked and sometimes didn't, so most of the time the regiment wouldn't send him telegrams, and basically they would wait for him to contact them.
It’s not Gu Changfeng’s fault. He usually hides the radio in his space and doesn’t carry it with him all day.
Moreover, the members of the Independent Regiment are all his confidants. Many people are accustomed to his magic, so he is not so shy.
"How many Japanese are there?" Gu Changfeng asked in a deep voice.
"A regiment has 4,300 soldiers, plus over 2,000 puppet troops."
After getting the answer, Gu Changfeng felt relieved. The number of Japanese devils was neither too many nor too few.
If it was a brigade of Japanese soldiers, he would have to break out quickly, as Gaojia Town’s troops would not be able to withstand it.
But if it's just a regiment, with the 37th Battalion and Xiaowu, they should be able to hold on for a while.
"Lao Luo, send a telegram to the regiment headquarters, asking them to retreat to Xianyaling for defense, and for the people to evacuate to the mountains."
These things were anticipated and not rushed. Shelters had already been built in the mountains. The only thing the people were worried about was being found by the Japanese. Nothing else mattered.
The most important thing for him now is to break out as soon as possible. The safety of the base is important.
