He Daqing felt a little guilty. If this battle took place, he should continue to use artillery fire to sweep the enemy's camp first.

Then the casualties on our side will be much less.

Unlike this time, there were 28 soldiers killed in the battle, five or six seriously injured, and more than 50 slightly injured.

He still underestimated his men.

I thought these people would shrink back when the time really came to fight.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, this group of people were actually willing to fight to the death.

"Boss, what should we do with these puppet soldiers? Should we just insert them into our team?"

Just as He Daqing was lamenting the sacrifice of his brothers, Liu Yong came over.

"how many?"

"There were more than 70 people, more than 20 escaped, and several died."

After all, He Daqing's subordinates all came from the puppet army.

So when facing these puppet troops, they would show mercy most of the time.

As long as the puppet soldiers squatted on the ground and surrendered, they would not continue to attack.

But the Japanese didn't have this treatment.

Even if the Japanese knelt down to surrender, they would most of the time be shot to death.

Unless the battle is nearing its end, or the Japanese surrender collectively.

They will hesitate.

"We'll select the good ones who are willing to work with us and keep them. We'll just kick out the ones who don't want to work with us.

After these people join the team, we must explain our situation to them clearly.

We will reorganize them as we go. Now we will tell them their treatment in general. If they don’t want to leave, we will let them go directly.”

After receiving the order, Liu Yong went to deal with the puppet army prisoners.

After He Daqing buried his fallen brothers personally, he led his troops to move away.

He Daqing's team has a speed bonus, but Gao Degui and the villagers of Qinjiatun do not.

Therefore, the distance between the two sides is getting farther and farther.

"Rest where you are! Get ready to make a fire and cook."

After walking for a whole morning, He Daqing estimated that they had escaped from the Japanese encirclement.

Moreover, the soldiers were thirsty and hungry and had to take a short rest.

Half an hour later, when He Daqing and the others had finished their meal, Gao Degui and his fellow villagers arrived.

"Daqing, how come you are moving so fast? We can't march too fast during an armed march. We need to leave some physical strength for the soldiers.

Otherwise, if we suddenly encounter the enemy, it will be very difficult to fight or retreat."

As soon as Gao Degui met He Daqing, he started teaching He Daqing.

"It's okay. We are not marching at full speed. Please ask the soldiers and villagers to prepare for dinner quickly. After a short rest, we will continue on our journey."

Just when He Daqing and his men were resting, the Japanese had already started to get angry.

Upon learning that He Daqing and his troops had descended the mountain, the Japanese immediately sent troops to support them.

But when they arrived at the scene, He Daqing and his team had already moved away.

After leaving some people to clean up the scene and collect the bodies of the Japanese, the rest of the troops began to pursue He Daqing.

And according to He Daqing's marching route, troops were arranged in advance to block him in front.

Some puppet soldiers who were unwilling to follow He Daqing also returned to the army one after another at this time.

They reported the situation of the battle truthfully.

Only at this time did the Japanese realize who they were fighting against.

"Baga, what did you say? It was all done by the Imperial Army? Do you think I'm stupid? How could the Imperial Army defeat the soldiers of the Empire?"

The commander of the 63rd Division, Masanori Nozoe, did not believe his subordinates' reports at all.

"Division Commander, it is indeed a company of the 9th Regiment of the 4th Army of the Imperial Army, which was formed not long ago.

The company commander was called He Daqing, and his company was assigned to one of our squadrons during this mopping-up operation.

After that, our squadron disappeared along with theirs, and the squadrons adjacent to them were annihilated one after another.

Even if this matter was not done by He Daqing, it is still related to him. "

After hearing this, Nozoe Changde looked incredulous.

"Could it really be the Imperial Army that did this? But how could this bunch of rubbish be a match for our Imperial Army?

They are definitely not the main force, the main force is still the Eighth Route Army, I don't believe they have this strength."

In the opinion of Nobue Changde, this group of Imperial Army usually has difficulty in even normal marching, but now they are so powerful. Isn't this a complete fantasy?

Besides, how could it be possible for just one company of the Imperial Army to annihilate several of their squadrons in a row?

If the Imperial Army really had this ability, how could they have surrendered in the first place?

Only the weak will surrender; the strong will never bow to the weak.

"Yes, there were indeed Eighth Route Army soldiers at the scene, but the Imperial Army soldiers who came back said that the number of Eighth Route Army soldiers was not particularly large."

“What those idiots said is not credible. It is possible that they rebelled against the Qing army, or they joined the Eighth Route Army after being captured.

This matter still needs further investigation. The most important thing at the moment is to annihilate this team.

I don’t care whose army he’s in.”

By this time, Nozoe Changde was already somewhat numb.

A squadron, occupying an advantageous terrain, was defeated by a single charge by the enemy.

He didn't even have time to get support.

We had been thinking of encircling this troop on the mountain, but now they have already rushed down the mountain.

If they don't intensify their pursuit, they might lose track of this troop.

At that time, this force may appear anywhere and deal them a fatal blow.

After all, this force was able to quickly wipe out one of their squadrons.

This allowed their operational units to be upgraded directly from squadron to brigade.

Units below the brigade level did not dare to send out troops at will.

You know, now in many counties, the Japanese have a squadron or a team stationed there.

Now many Japanese squadrons in the counties have been drawn out to participate in the mopping-up operation or the siege of He Daqing.

If He Daqing's troops are not surrounded and annihilated, how can these squadrons and teams dare to return to their bases with peace of mind?

Not only might they be annihilated on the way back, but even the county towns might be destroyed one by one.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, we need support. If the headquarters does not send people, we will not be able to control the situation in Peking.

The casualties are too great now, and the soldiers are already tired of fighting. In addition, there is the problem of stationing.

Now many blockhouses and strongholds are no longer able to send personnel to garrison there.

Even if we withdraw all our manpower back to the county seat, we are still short of people.”

The previous policy of the Japs was to sow seeds of destruction throughout North China.

A blockhouse, a county town, or a small village was a Japanese garrison.

The Japanese soldiers stationed in these places sometimes formed a squadron and sometimes formed a company.

These devils formed a big network. As long as the Eighth Route Army attacked one stronghold, the devils in other strongholds would immediately come out to support.

But now, the number of Japanese deaths is too high.

It is no longer possible to meet the situation where there are Japanese soldiers stationed in every stronghold.
