"Regiment Commander, Battalion Commander Fang has already eaten these Japanese!”
"Yes! Order the troops to continue moving forward. After we finish off this group of Japanese, their main force will probably rush over. Let's move forward immediately."
Zhou Weiguo nodded and did not ask about the casualty data. He would report it to Fang Shengli later.
Then, the convoy began to move. However, just as it started moving, a cannonball landed beside the convoy behind it. Zhou Weiguo heard the explosion clearly.
"This is the Japanese's Type 92 Infantry Cannon. It looks like the Japanese have at least a brigade of soldiers. Order everyone to get off the vehicle. Xu Hu, arrange for someone to take care of Xiao Ya and Sun Xinpu. The rest of you, follow me!"
Upon hearing the sound of the explosion, Zhou Weiguo immediately realized that it was the Japanese's Type 92 Infantry Cannon.
Zhou Weiguo picked up his weapon and saw Chang Debiao running towards him.
"Regiment Commander, we are being pursued by the Japanese from behind. A squadron of the Japanese is pursuing us. Our people behind us have also discovered that the Japanese are continuously sending reinforcements. I estimate that the Japanese have at least a large battalion behind us.”
Chang Debiao ran over and said loudly. His meaning was very simple. He wanted Zhou Weiguo to make a decision. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come over. He could just send a telegram to inform him!
"Yuchen, get me the map!"
After Zhou Weiguo finished speaking, He Yuchen, the temporary chief of staff of the regiment headquarters, quickly took the map over.
"We are now in Shuikou Town. The Japanese are chasing us from this direction, and they have Type 92 infantry cannons. It seems that the situation is not that simple. I reckon "
"Regiment Commander, Battalion Commander Fang sent a telegram. There are Japanese in front of them. The current estimated strength is about a brigade!”
At this moment, the confidential personnel beside him suddenly said.
"A brigade? It seemed that the Japanese had come with ill intentions! There's a brigade in front and a brigade in the back. I think the Japanese should have a regiment of soldiers approaching us. The Japanese are really fast! It's biting so quickly!"
When Zhou Weiguo heard that, he immediately made a judgment. At the same time, he also understood that he was being targeted by the Japanese's 13th Regiment. It couldn't be the 101 Regiment.
The main force of the Japanese's 101st Regiment was still far from here. Even if there were troops, they would only be the vanguard of one or two squadrons. Only the 13th Regiment that had crossed the river could have rushed over so quickly.
"We can't leave by car. De Biao, your 2nd Battalion will immediately abandon their original position and move towards Wuji Village. Agent, send a signal to the 1st Battalion to move towards Wuji Village. At the same time, they blew up the car. Even if they blew it up, they would not leave it for the Japanese.
Since the Japanese are biting us, we'll fight them tonight and see if they're stronger or us!”
Under the pursuit of the two Japanese teams, if they wanted to retreat like this, it was very likely that they would be defeated. It was better to shrink their forces and fight with the Japanese. It was pitch black now, and the Japanese did not have any aircraft or cannons to support them. The Japanese's Type 92 Infantry Cannon just now, judging from the intensity of the artillery fire, was only the artillery of an artillery squadron. Zhou Weiguo still had a way to deal with him. The rest would depend on the weapons, equipment, and combat strength of both sides.
Zhou Weiguo believed that his nearly 1,000 men were not necessarily worse than the Japanese. They were also troops that had been withdrawn from the Nanjing battlefield. He had already gained a little confidence during the battle to break out of the encirclement.
As for weapons and equipment, Zhou Weiguo believed that the Japanese's Type 92 heavy machine gun and crooked light machine gun were not his match.
Since that was the case, he would fight the Japanese here and see who was stronger!
After Zhou Weiguo gave the order, Fang Shengli and Chang Debiao began to lead their troops to Wuji Village, ready to fight the Japanese.
The Japanese immediately started to chase after them. Soon, Zhou Weiguo and the others arrived at Wuji Village. The distance between Shuikou Town and Wuji Village was not far.
.........
In Zhou Weiguo's temporary headquarters in Wuji Village.
This temporary command center was just casually built in a mountain valley. After all, there was no time now!
"Regimental Commander, we've already figured out the Japanese's military strength. They have about the strength of a regiment! Right now, a large group of them is moving towards our rear. They probably want to cut off our retreat.”
He Yuchen told Zhou Weiguo about the information he had received from the front line.
"Humph! Cut off our retreat route? Order the troops to retreat again. Our headquarters will also be transferred. We will move to Lijiaba. This way, we'll have the Shilei River as our back. Let's see how the Japanese are going to cross the river in the dark. We're in a hurry to chase after them, so we definitely don't have any ferry tools. He clenched his fists and told his brothers not to be anxious. We'll counterattack when we're ready!”
Zhou Weiguo snorted coldly and said. They were very close to Li Jiaba of Shilei River, which was next to a village. With Shi Leihe as their back, they clenched their fists tightly. Even if the Japanese wanted to attack them from behind, it would be impossible.
"Good! I'll give the order immediately!"
He Yuchen went to give the order, and the regiment headquarters moved again. They moved to the foot of a hill in Lijiaba, which was a blind spot for artillery fire.
"Regiment Commander, the national army major we rescued in Branch River Town has woken up.”
Xu Hu ran over and said.
"Haha! Weiguo, I didn't expect us brothers to meet here!”
At this moment, Sun Xinpu walked in with a big laugh.
"Xinpu, I'm afraid I don't have time to reminisce with you now. Our situation is very serious! The Japanese have surrounded us. After I eat this Japanese, you and I can catch up!”
Zhou Weiguo said with a smile on his face.
"No rush! I'm also a soldier. How's the situation now?"
"The situation is alright. Our troops have blocked the Japanese's attack.”
Han Ling looked at the sky outside and then at his watch.
"Wait?"
Sun Xinpu said in astonishment.
Zhou Weiguo smiled. His troops had slept the entire day, and now was the time to be full of energy. On the contrary, the Japanese were marching during the day. They must be very tired by now!
Wait a little longer! After a while, the Japanese would be even more tired. At that time, it would be time for him to counterattack!
