The 300-plus puppet soldiers still needed to guard the stronghold, so after the commander received the order, he only brought 200 people to support them.
They ran quickly along the road. These puppet soldiers knew that the Japanese were not easy to serve. If they were late, they would be slapped lightly.
However, the puppet soldiers did not expect that more than 50 Japanese soldiers had been completely dealt with.
After Yang Chen observed the puppet army through the binoculars, he directly gave Sun Xiu the order to fire.
The two mountain cannons took the lead in firing long-range shots, while the four mortars began to move forward.
The artillery shells landed on the puppet troops, causing them to fall into chaos.
These puppet soldiers were not as strong as the Japanese. After encountering the artillery, they began to cry for their parents.
When the four mortars reached their designated positions and entered the battle, the mortars fired in groups, and grenades fell to the ground.
"The main force is the main force of the Chinese army. Retreat quickly, retreat quickly.”
The puppet battalion commander was so frightened that his entire body trembled. His hat fell to the ground and he did not even bother to pick it up. He ran back in panic.
After the battalion commander was the first to escape, the hundred puppet soldiers retreated in panic like sheep.
The artillery stopped firing. They didn't have many shells left, so they naturally wouldn't waste them on these puppet soldiers.
Yang Chen looked at the situation of the puppet army. More than 30 of them had suffered casualties. He waved his hand and Zhou Baoguo led the 2nd Platoon to clean up the battlefield.
In this battle, they had fought head-on with the Japanese, and they had also fought with the Yamamoto Special Agent Team. The district team had suffered casualties.
Yang Chen looked at everyone. He first cleaned up the battlefield and then returned to the prisoner of war camp.
"Monk Wei, do you have any plans?”
Yang Chen said to Monk Wei and the others as he treated the wounded after finding some medicine in the prisoner of war camp.
Monk Wei and the other captives looked at each other and pondered for a while.
"Sir, if you don't mind us, we'll fight the Japanese with you.”Monk Wei expressed his stance.
"If you guys are willing to join the district team, we would definitely welcome you.”Yang Chen said excitedly.
He also knew that it was almost impossible for Monk Wei and the others to find the old troops.
The district team was well-equipped and had killed more than 50 Japanese in an instant. Moreover, they had saved their lives. They were likely to stay.
After confirming this, Yang Chen was delighted. With these dozens of prisoners, the combat strength of the district team would increase by a lot.
The team rested in the prisoner of war camp for a while. Because of the addition of Monk Wei and the other prisoners, Yang Chen had to reorganize the team again.
Currently, there were about 200 soldiers. Yang Chen planned to organize a reinforced company.
The platoon leader of the first row was Gao Jin. Before he was captured, he was the platoon leader of the Direct Line's regular troops.
Zhou Baoguo, the platoon leader of the second platoon, Hu Dali, the platoon leader of the third platoon, were both Yang Chen's men.
These three platoons were all infantry platoons. They had three squads under their jurisdiction, each squad had thirteen people, equipped with ten Type 38 rifles and a crooked light machine gun.
Including the platoon leader, each infantry platoon had a total of 40 people.
In the fourth row, the platoon leader, Sun Xiu, had a total of fifty people. They were equipped with two mountain cannons, four mortars, two carriages, and two motorcycles.
Fifth Platoon, Squad Leader Monk Wei, a platoon of 30 people, equipped with a heavy machine gun, three machine guns, 11 submachine guns, and Garand rifles.
According to Yang Chen's plan, the 4th Platoon would be an artillery platoon, and the 5th Platoon would be a special forces platoon.
These two platoons were the main force of the district team and had the right to choose weapons and soldiers first.
However, the other three infantry platoons had experienced combat after the replacement of some prisoners of war.
Moreover, as long as a team had veterans leading new recruits, their combat strength could be improved sooner or later.
After the formation of the troops was completed, Yang Chen led Sun Xiu and the others on their motorcycles and left the prisoner of war camp.
Currently, the squad had only seized a motorcycle from the Japanese. Unfortunately, other than Yang Chen, no one else knew how to drive.
Sun Xiu and the others were taught by Yang Chen at the last minute. Their driving was very crooked.
After this battle, the strength of the district team had increased a lot. Yang Chen led the team back to Nanzhuang Village!
……
The news of the prisoner of war camp being attacked quickly reached the 4th regiment headquarters.
When the regiment commander of the major general's brigade, Kagawa Shinji, received the news, he slumped into his chair weakly, his face filled with anger.
He discussed with the chief of staff for a while and immediately contacted the First Army's headquarters. He was prepared to gather the main force of the exploration team and launch a crazy sweep.
Shinji Kagawa's request for battle soon received a reply from the First Army's headquarters. Commander Yoshio Shinozuka gave him a battle order.
However, when the 4th Brigade studied the order in detail, their expressions were not very good.
Although this was a battle order, they realized that the 4th Brigade was just a bystander in this battle.
As the main combat brigade, they did not even receive the mission of assisting in the battle. Shinji Kagawa was furious.
Of course, if he knew the overall battle plan of the First Army, he would be even angrier.
This was because the First Army's plan was to let the 4th Brigade play along with the Yamamoto Special Agent Team.
As for the Yamamoto Special Agent Team, they only had about a hundred people.
Dragon City, the capital of Jin Province, the headquarters of the First Army.
Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka and Major General Takeshi Tanaka stood in front of the map.
Near the map, an officer in a colonel's uniform was holding a baton and explaining in detail.
This officer was none other than Yamamoto Ichiki, the captain of the Yamamoto Secret Service Team.
Yamamoto Ichiki had studied abroad in Country D and was good at mountain special operations. He was specially recruited by the First Army.
Shinozuka Yoshio was an outstanding talent in the military. He had received a military saber from the Japanese Emperor and had once commanded the 10th division to participate in the Battle of Hankou.
During the Battle of Hankou, the 10th division performed well and was promoted to the position of commander of the First Army.
However, after Shinozuka Yoshio arrived in Jin Province, he realized that the situation was not right because the Eighteenth Army was very difficult to deal with.
The Japanese army's previous combat methods were completely unable to deal a blow to the 18th Army. Instead, they paid a lot of casualties.
Especially in this battle at Ashen Cloud Ridge, the elite Sakata United Army had suffered heavy losses one after another. This made Shinozuka Yoshio realize the need to reform his tactics.
Thus, Shinozuka Yoshio directly used Yamamoto Ichiki, giving him a chance to prove the feasibility of his new tactic.
