Li Guotao shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not that they are timid, but that the devil commander on the other side is more rational."
They must have known that the little devils of the Ishikawa brigade have been annihilated by us, and a brigade that can annihilate the devils shows that our strength must be very strong, at least it is definitely not something that one of their squadrons can deal with.Now that the Ishikawa brigade has been annihilated, there is no point in them staying here any longer, and there is also the danger of being annihilated by us at any time, in this case, as long as a sober commander will make the decision to retreat, because this is the wisest choice, obviously the devil commander on the opposite side is very clear-headed, and almost without any hesitation, he chose to retreat. ”Zhao Yunfei nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, it's just a pity to watch the little devil run away like this." ”"There's nothing to be sorry for, there are quite a few little devils we have annihilated today.What's more, even if this group of little devils ran away this time, can they be so lucky next time As long as they don't leave the territory of China for a day, we will completely annihilate them one day. ”Li Guotao said with a serious face.Xu Feihu nodded and said: "The brigade commander is right, these little devils can hide from the first day of junior high school, and they can't escape the fifteenth, so let's let them go for the time being" "Hmm" Zhao Yunfei nodded, and asked with a smile: "Brigade commander, then what should we do next" Li Guotao waved his hand and said: "Since the little devil has retreated, leave a group of people to take on the guard task to prevent the little devil from suddenly killing back to the carbine, and everyone else will go back to clean up the battlefield" "Yes" Zhao Yunfei responded respectfully, and then ordered loudly:" The first and second squads stayed behind to take on the guard duty, and the others went back to clean up the battlefield with Lao Tzu," he said, turning around and walking back with Li Guotao.Although the soldiers felt a little disappointed that they had not been able to eliminate this little devil, it was not enough to offset the joy of a great victory just now, and after receiving the order, the soldiers went back to clean up the battlefield in high spirits.The battlefield had just been half cleaned, Tian Chen rushed over with more than 400 soldiers of the Eighth Route Army under his command, and saw Li Guotao, Zhao Yunfei and others chatting around a corpse, Tian Chen rushed over, looked down at the corpse on the ground, pouted and said: "This old devil is Segawa Shiro, he has been beaten and no one is like you, you are too ruthless" Zhao Yunfei was fiddling with Segawa Shiro's general knife in his hand at this time, and when he heard Tian Chen say this, he immediately laughed and said: " Just let this old devil die, it's too cheap for him, if he catches him alive, Lao Tzu has to cut him with a thousand knives" "Even if you deal with the little devil, you can't be soft" A special combat team member next to him couldn't help but interject.Li Guotao smiled and nodded, turned to look at Tian Chen, and asked with a smile: "Tian Chen, how is the situation over there?"
"Report to the brigade commander, everything is going well, the little devil has been completely annihilated by us."
Brigade commander, you are really clever, when we were at the Xinqiao Bridge, we killed nearly 200 little devils in one fell swoop, and then in Liyizhuang, the Baxian County Brigade killed dozens more.Outside Lizhuang Village, we successfully ambushed the little devils, and annihilated more than 400 little devils in one fell swoop, leaving more than 100 people to flee here, just annihilated by you in one fell swoop, so that the little devils of the entire Ishikawa brigade have all been wiped out by us, and even one of them has not escaped. ”Tian Chen said excitedly."
Well, good, well done."
Li Guotao said excitedly: "How about the casualties of the troops" As soon as Tian Chen heard this, his face immediately became serious, and he sighed helplessly and said: "The previous casualties were not big, but outside Lizhuang Village, in the end, we and the little devil fell into a white-knuckle battle.Although we are far superior to the little devils in terms of strength and morale, but the little devils' stabbing skills are indeed not covered, and after this battle, the first battalion of our new seventh regiment has lost more than 100 soldiers, and the losses of the Baxian County Brigade are not small, and it is estimated that there are more than 100 people.However, judging from the results, these losses are not too large.After all, this time we annihilated a whole brigade of little devils, and also captured a large number of weapons and equipment, and even the armored car of the old devil Shiro Segawa was captured by us, the little devil couldn't escape, and originally wanted to destroy the armored car, but fortunately, our soldiers were quick and stopped the little devil and captured the armored car intact. ”When Zhao Yunfei, Xu Feihu and others heard that an armored car had been captured, their eyes lit up with excitement.Li Guotao didn't care too much about this, after all, there was only one armored car, and even if it was on the battlefield, it wouldn't play much of a role.In contrast, Li Guotao was more concerned about the casualties of the troops, frowned and sighed slightly and said: "Although the casualties are not too big, they can be regarded as painful for us, after all, our current strength is too weak." ”Hearing Li Guotao say this, the others also frowned, and Xu Feihu said with a worried face: "Yes, although we annihilated the Ishikawa brigade, if the little devil sends troops to attack again, it will be troublesome." ”Li Guotao shook his head lightly and said, "We don't have to worry too much, if the little devils have enough troops, it is estimated that this time they will not just send a large team to encircle and suppress us."
Now in the entire North China region, the little devils' troops are seriously insufficient, and this time the Ishikawa Brigade has been eliminated, I estimate that we will be able to live a few days of peace, so we must seize this rare opportunity to develop and strengthen the anti-Japanese armed forces in the Pingnan area as soon as possible. ”"Well, the brigade commander is right, so what should we do next, what specific instructions does the brigade commander have?"
Tian Chen nodded approvingly and asked.Li Guotao said with a serious face: "Baxian is the closest to our base area, and we still follow the original plan, first gain a firm foothold in Ba County, and then gradually radiate to the surrounding counties, and slowly include the entire Pingnan area into the scope of our base area."
Of course, we can discuss the specific work slowly after we go back, after this battle, the soldiers are also tired, I decided that the troops will return to Lizhuang immediately, camp outside Lizhuang Village tonight, and the troops will immediately set off to return to Baxian early tomorrow morning. ”"Yes" Zhao Yunfei, Tian Chen and others responded respectfully.aa2705221:
