Sakata United's new commander, Yoshida Ma, also received the report very quickly. After knowing that Kawashima Yu's reinforced team had been completely wiped out, he was extremely angry.
The 1st Battalion wanted to attack the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army. Yoshida Maya thought for a while and immediately agreed.
In the report from the 4th Brigade to the 1st Army, the Sakata Army suffered heavy losses, and it was related to the Jinsui Army.
Yoshida Ma didn't know the truth either. He originally planned to take care of the new regiment first before attacking the 358th regiment.
However, now that the 1st Battalion reported that Kawashima's squad had been annihilated by the Jinsui Army, Yoshida Ma decided to teach the 358th Regiment a lesson.
Chu Yunfei didn't know what was going on at all. He was simply hiding in the cellar and getting shot.
The 1,000 Japanese soldiers from the 1st Battalion quickly advanced towards the 358th Battalion's base. The main force of the Sakata Battalion also began to mobilize.
The other three teams that were responsible for acting as bait were still on patrol duty in the vicinity of the Gray Cloud Ridge.
Yoshida Ma was also very shrewd. He was worried that if his regiment attacked Regiment 358, the new regiment would launch a sneak attack.
The three reinforced teams stayed near the Gray Cloud Ridge. This way, they could ensure that the Sakata United Team would be the first to receive news of the new team's appearance.
However, Yoshida Ma did not know that it was the militia of Nanzhuang Village that had truly annihilated Kawashima Yu.
Everything that the Japanese found out was fabricated by Yang Chen.
At this moment, Yang Chen had already led his team to the west of the Gray Cloud Ridge and was closely watching the Japanese army's movements.
"Type 38 rifles, crooked light machine guns, and Type 92 heavy machine guns. These are all Japanese weapons.”
"Oh my god, with so many weapons and equipment seized, how many Japanese did you kill?”
"Captain Chen, we're convinced. This time, we're completely convinced. We're willing to listen to your command.”
"Captain Chen, can you give us some weapons and equipment? We also want to fight the Japanese.”
As night fell, a few 100-man militia teams gathered near a high ground in the western region of the Gray Cloud Ridge.
When the militia captains saw the weapons and equipment brought by the Nanzhuang Village militia, their eyes widened in shock.
As for the militia, their eyes were almost glowing with envy when they saw the weapons and equipment.
The weapons and equipment of the 18th Army were very poor, and most of the militia formed in the villages used cold weapons.
These people joined the militia because they wanted to fight the Japanese. They were very eager for weapons and equipment.
Now that Nanzhuang Village was extremely rich, and they could kill so many Japanese, they were completely convinced.
"Since we have merged into a small team, these weapons and equipment will naturally be given to you.”
"But before that, I need to emphasize one thing. After the district team is formed, all actions will be under the command of the commander.”
Yang Chen was happy to distribute the weapons and equipment, but before that, he needed to give these people a heads-up.
After all, with the increase in the number of people in the team, it was easy to be exposed. If someone disobeyed orders and acted on their own, it would bring danger to the entire team.
"Captain Chen, don't worry. We promise to listen to your orders.”Several captains expressed their opinions.
Soon, Yang Chen reorganized his forces according to the current weapons and equipment.
There were currently about 100 people in the district team, and Yang Chen had formed three platoons.
First Platoon, Platoon Leader Sun Xiu, equipped with two mountain cannons, two machine guns, three mortars, two carriages, forty soldiers.
Second Platoon, Platoon Leader Zhou Baoguo, equipped with 34 Type 38 rifles, 34 soldiers.
Third Platoon, Platoon Leader Hu Dali, equipped with five light and heavy machine guns, six submachine guns, five semi-automatic rifles, thirty-six soldiers.
Due to the continuous battles, the weapons and ammunition rewarded by the system had been used up quite a bit. Fortunately, there were some rewards for killing enemies continuously.
Yang Chen found a dilapidated courtyard house nearby, communicated with the system again, and took out the ammunition.
In addition, the system's reward for the light machine gun was also taken out and given to the third platoon.
A few of the militia team captains went to their platoons to take on the positions of class leaders.
Yang Chen organized the three platoons according to the artillery platoon, infantry platoon, and heavy weapons platoon.
Of course, the militia that had just been able to achieve a certain level of combat effectiveness would definitely have an impact on the overall combat effectiveness after the merger of the village militia.
After all, there were quite a number of people in the village militia who did not know how to shoot at all.
Yang Chen couldn't help but think of the prisoner of war camp where Wei Da Yong was imprisoned in the 'Drawing Swords' incident.
The prisoner of war camp was filled with veterans. If they could join the district team, the veterans could lead the new recruits. This could quickly increase the combat effectiveness of the troops.
Of course, the Japanese were all around, so Yang Chen put the issue of the prisoner of war camp aside for now. He was ready to continue fighting the Japanese.
The district teams weren't strong, but they had an absolute advantage in weapons.
The sky turned dark. Dazzling lights kept appearing in the west of the Gray Cloud Ridge. The sound of gunfire could be heard faintly.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the Sakata Regiment's First Brigade and the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army started fighting.
Regiment 358 was not a pushover. Furthermore, they had a certain advantage due to their defensive stance. The battle between the two sides quickly fell into a stalemate.
Under such circumstances, the newly formed district team started to move again after a simple dinner.
Previously, Yang Chen did not dare to use the mountain cannons and machine guns because he was worried that the Japanese's mechanized troops would quickly chase after him.
After all, the mobility of these two types of artillery was very slow. Relying on mules and horses, it was easy for the Japanese trucks to catch up.
But now that the Japanese and Chu Yunfei were fighting, Yang Chen didn't have to worry about that anymore.
The 100-man team quickly moved. Their target was naturally the Japanese team that was responsible for the search and alert.
Not long after, Second Platoon Leader Zhou Baoguo and his men arrived in front of Yang Chen.
"Captain, six kilometers ahead is Dongxiang Village. More than 60 Japanese are resting and eating there.”Zhou Baoguo reported.
Yang Chen nodded. He signaled for his team to hide while he carefully observed the surrounding terrain.
Soon, Yang Chen stopped in his tracks. He was less than four kilometers away from Dongxiang Village, and there were two highlands nearby.
After observing for a while, Yang Chen immediately pulled the team over and quickly deployed them.
Sun Xiu's first row went straight to the two high grounds, while Zhou Baoguo's second row dug and stood near the high grounds.
Hu Dali's third row was personally led by Chen Yang and was lying in ambush on the flank of the high ground.
The district team quietly got busy. By 10 o'clock, the district team had completed their deployment.
Artillery was set up, and the infantry also built simple trenches. Light and heavy machine guns were also set up, and a relatively complete machine gun position was set up.
Immediately after, Yang Chen gave Sun Xiu a signal, and the first row began to fire.
(I know that the big shots are chasing after a lot of books. I don't expect all the flowers to be given to me. I just want a flower. Please leave a flower for this book. I bow and thank you.)）
