Chapter 154: Retaking Yabuli (4)
East of town, where the station is located.
The guerrilla squadron 500 and the th company of the rd battalion of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, which were urgently transporting supplies, inexplicably encountered a group of Japanese troops, who were coming along the railway line. There were about of them.
The two sides immediately exchanged fire and suffered casualties on both sides!
Because the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces occupied solid buildings such as buildings and had fierce firepower, they were not at a disadvantage!
When Yin Xinjun led his troops to the scene, he saw a tragic scene.
In the station, several boxes of ammunition were hit by Japanese grenades, causing a huge explosion, and several soldiers nearby fell in a pool of blood!
However, overall the Japanese army did not gain any advantage and failed in both attacks!
Yin Xinjun, with his heart burning, immediately led his troops to outflank the Japanese army.
He was a little puzzled. Could it be that the second battalion that was fighting for reinforcements in the east had been completely wiped out? That would be a loss!
The troops have won victory after victory and their morale has just been boosted. If an entire battalion is wiped out in one night, it would be a serious blow to Kang Huaifu's regiment!
The special forces team was still charging the fastest. The big bull who was rushing in the front was holding a Czech-style rifle and firing long bursts of shots from time to time. The scar-faced man and the dull man beside him were following closely, fearing that he would make any mistakes!
When Yin Xinjun encountered a slope of earth, he hurriedly squatted down, began to set up grenade launchers, and fiercely bombarded the Japanese troops in front!
It was already dawn.
After suffering a fierce attack from the special forces, the Japanese army, which suffered heavy casualties, panicked for a while and began to retreat gradually!
Da Niu, Men Zi, Scarface and others rushed too fiercely and protruded too much, so the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces soldiers behind them were more than 100 meters away!
Tang Junping, who felt something was wrong, shouted desperately from behind.
"Slow down, slow down! Wait!"
A string of machine gun bullets flew over, and Scarface and Menzi fell heavily to the ground!
After Yin Xinjun fired more than 30 grenades on his own, he saw the Japanese army fleeing desperately, so he blew the retreat whistle!
Don't chase the enemy who is desperate. At this time, the most important thing is to keep the fruits of victory. He has already fired the flare, which is also the general signal for retreat. As long as Kang Huaifu sees it, he can retreat on his own!
The enemy situation changed, and he ordered the soldiers in the station to speed up and evacuate!
The Anti-Japanese Allied Forces positions in the west were attacked by the Japanese twice. Kang Huaifu led his troops to fight and retreat.
This time, there were as many as 3,000 Japanese and puppet troops coming from Weihe County, and they were led by Ando Rikichi himself!
Fortunately, it was night and visibility was poor.
Coupled with the fierce firepower of the first battalion, the Japanese and puppet troops were somewhat frightened.
However, under the strong order of Ando Rikichi,
The pressure on the First Battalion is increasing!
They have taken turns to cover each other and retreated two kilometers!
At the critical moment, a fresh force suddenly emerged from the north and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army from the flank.
Surprised Kang Huaifu thought it was Yin Xinjun coming, and immediately ordered a counterattack!
In the dark night, no one can see anyone's true strength.
The key point is that Ando Rikichi was also stunned.
The phone in Yabuli was not connected and the radio station did not respond. All these results showed that the troops there were in great danger!
In addition, the pursuing troops were suddenly attacked from both sides.
This made Ando Rikichi immediately order a quick retreat. After all, he only had 3000 men. If the enemy could kill the 1500 Japanese troops in Yabuli, the total number must be at least or !
In the jungle, he saw the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces soldiers desperately chasing the Japanese army and retreating desperately. Kang Huaifu stopped only when he saw that they were about to chase them out of the forest!
The friendly forces that were attacking the Japanese army had already stopped because they didn't have much ammunition left!
At this time, Kang Huaifu finally saw the flare in the direction of the town!
This surprised him!
It turns out that this group of friendly forces is not the king of hell!
So he hurriedly sent someone over, and while keeping in touch, Kang Huaifu quickly evacuated northward!
The sky gradually brightens!
Kang Huaifu saw a group of people retreating northward with them. As expected, they looked very unfamiliar and he didn’t recognize any of them!
At this time, the staff officer in charge of liaison came over and reported that this was the troops of the Second Route Army!
Kang Huaifu didn't even have time to exchange pleasantries as the two groups of people retreated to Lianghe Town in one breath. This was also the contact point he and the King of Hell had agreed upon!
The regiment headquarters, around 4 p.m.
A group of people, with tears in their eyes, hugged each other excitedly regardless of whether they knew each other or not.
Especially the comrades of the Second Route Army, who endured hardships and fought for several months, finally established contact with the friendly forces.
The Fifth Army Commander Chai Shirong said excitedly,
"Last night, we finally got the news that you were fighting in Yabuli. When we were almost to the town, we suddenly heard the sound of your gunfire. We also accidentally got involved in a melee!"
Seeing so many big leaders, the young team leader Kang Huaifu was a little nervous. He said hurriedly,
"Dear leaders, if you hadn't arrived, I would have been eaten!"
Thinking about it, Kang Huaifu was still a little scared. He didn't expect that so many Japanese reinforcements would come!
Song Yifu asked about the situation and opened his mouth in surprise.
"Captain Kang? You only have one regiment? Where are your three armies?"
Not only Song Yifu, but several commanders of the Second Army were also extremely shocked!
Kang Huaifu said sincerely,
"Sanjun? I don't know. I used to be in Yilan, but since our division commander died, I have lost contact with Sanjun. I have no choice but to fight alone!"
Wang Guangyu was filled with emotion.
"That's amazing. Your regiment has grown to nearly a thousand people. Together with the guerrilla brigade, there are several thousand people, which is much more than our Western Expedition troops!"
The Second Army's Western Expedition troops were mainly composed of the 4th and 5th Armies. There were only 800 people when they set out, but by the time they arrived at Weihe, only half of them were left!
Kang Huaifu said sadly,
"Alas, there were too many casualties last night, and we are still counting them!"
San'er ran in hurriedly, followed by two soldiers.
"Commander, two comrades from the Second Battalion have returned!"
Kang Huaifu grabbed him and asked anxiously,
"What happened to the Second Battalion? Tell me now!"
Two people were crying.
"Captain! We just blew up the railway last night when we encountered a strange enemy patrol train. It was full of gun barrels and fired fiercely at us. The troops suffered heavy casualties. Captain Yang hurriedly ordered to evacuate to the woods. Later, thousands of enemy troops came to reinforce. Captain Yang ordered to fight to the end and not let a single enemy pass. In the end, almost the entire battalion was killed!"
When a few people nearby heard this, they realized that the Japanese army had sent a railway gun. This thing was just a lump of iron and was really hard to deal with!
Another warrior added,
"At the end of the night, there were only a dozen or so men left in the entire battalion, and they were all dispersed!"
"Where is Yang Conggui?"
"Sacrificed! The battalion commander was seriously injured by the shells at the beginning, and then..."
Kang Huaifu closed his eyes in pain!
San'er also looked gloomy, lowered his head and said nothing.
The first battalion commander Ma Shun and the third battalion commander Guan Qiang also ran in, with different expressions on their faces.
Ma Shun's face was stretched like a horse's, while Guan Qiang was arrogant and looked very complacent!
