As Sasaki was drunk at that time, he had sufficient confidence in his 300 guards.
Therefore, when he was attacked, he did not rush to ask for help from the outside world.
Instead, they hurriedly organized their troops and rushed to the west gate to fight.
What he did not expect was that he would be completely annihilated by the powerful independent regiment.
As a result, the news of the attack on the Tiger Pavilion base did not spread out immediately.
Therefore, there would not be any reinforcements for the time being.
Half an hour later, Zhang Dabiao ran up the city wall excitedly.
He came to Chen Liang's side and could not help but say excitedly,"Regiment commander, we've made a huge profit this time. We seized a large amount of food, vegetables, meat, and other daily necessities from the Japanese's warehouse.”
The guns and ammunition are enough for us to rearm a reinforced battalion!”
"That's good." "When has our Independent Regiment ever made a loss?" Chen Liang said.”
"This battle is something our Independent Regiment has never seen before." Zhang Dabiao chuckled. Moreover, after this battle, the surrounding people will definitely have confidence in us.”
"Yes, report to the brigade. Tell them that the acting commander of the Independent Regiment, Chen Liang, led his troops to successfully take down the Huting Stronghold. They wiped out more than 300 Japanese soldiers and seized countless! No one from my division was injured or killed." Chen Liang ordered in a good mood.
"Also, order the troops to bring back all the supplies. We're retreating!”
"Yes, sir!" Zhang Dabiao quickly stood up and promised.
It was worth mentioning that the Independent Regiment had seized a batch of trucks and carriages inside the Tiger Pavilion Stronghold, which were used to carry the spoils of war.
Soon, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment loaded all the weapons, ammunition, and daily supplies they had seized.
Chen Liang led them back to the Wang Fortress.
After returning to the base, Chen Liang ordered people to unload the loots while sending people to the surrounding villages to spread the news that the Independent Regiment had taken down the Tiger Pavilion stronghold.
……
The next day, at the Japanese garrison headquarters in Pingan County.
A Japanese soldier ran in with a panicked expression.
He reported to the commander of the Peace Garrison, Ichiro Hirata,""Sir, we just received news that Huting Stronghold has been captured by unknown Chinese militants. The garrison has been completely annihilated!”
"Nani?" Ichiro Hirata was shocked when he heard this. He stood up from behind his desk.
He grabbed the signalman's collar and shouted,"Where's Sasaki?"
"He also died in battle." "The heads of Lieutenant Sasaki and 300 warriors of the Empire were all cut off by the enemy and hung on the top of the stronghold," the signalman replied in a trembling voice.
Moreover, the Chinese people even used their corpses to spell out the word 'death'!
Last night, a caravan passed by and discovered this situation. As soon as they returned to the scene today, they reported it urgently.”
"Bagaya Road!" "Who did this?" Ichiro Hirata was furious. The Jinsui Army or the central army of the Chongqing government?”
Ichiro Hirata didn't think that the Eighth Route Army was involved because, in his opinion, with the strength of the troops and the strong fortifications of the Huting stronghold, it was impossible for them to escape.
It was impossible for Tubo to take down the stronghold and wipe out Sasaki's troops without anyone knowing.
The signalman lowered his head and said,""Sir, we're not sure yet."
"Baka!" Furious, Ichiro Hirata raised his hand and slapped him. He shouted,"Go and investigate immediately. You must find out which army did it!”
"Ha Yi!" The signalman suddenly nodded and quickly turned around to leave.
……
Eighth Route Army, brigade headquarters.
After hearing the report from the chief of staff, the brigade commander could not help but be shocked."What is it? The Independent Regiment had taken down the Huting Stronghold and wiped out all the devils in the Huting Stronghold?”
The Chief of Staff nodded excitedly." That's right. This is the news we just received. The most gratifying thing is that there are no casualties in the Independent Regiment."”
The brigade commander was surprised and delighted. He could not help but sigh."This Chen Liang's ability is really amazing. More than 300 Japanese, and it was a tough battle. He took care of them all just like that?
Moreover, there were zero casualties. This was simply a miracle!”
After pondering for a while, the brigade commander said to the chief of staff,""Report this matter to the headquarters immediately. This kind of miraculous victory has never happened before. We must report it to the head of the headquarters!”
"Yes, sir!" The chief of staff nodded.
……
Three days later, at the Wang Fortress, the Independent Regiment's encampment.
Chen Liang was having breakfast when Zhang Dabiao walked in from outside.
"Regiment Commander, the higher-ups have sent us a political commissar. He is already outside.”
"Oh?" Chen Liang was a little surprised. He thought to himself, Could it be that Zhao Gang is here?
He quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks and said,"Come, follow me out to welcome them."”
As soon as he walked out of the house, he saw a young officer carrying a bag and a guard behind him waiting in the courtyard.
This person had a square face and was full of righteousness. It was Zhao Gang.
Seeing Chen Liang come out, Zhao Gang quickly went forward and took the initiative to salute,"The new political commissar of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, Zhao Gang, has been ordered to report.”
As he spoke, he reached out to shake hands with Chen Liang.
Chen Liang smiled and shook his hand." Welcome, welcome. Did you encounter any trouble on your way here, Political Commissar Zhao?"”
"Also, when I passed by Wan Jia Town, I was attacked by some puppet troops, but fortunately, it was a scare.”Zhao Gang said with a smile.
"Did you save any captives?”Chen Liang was naturally asking Monk Wei. His own security company did not have a company commander yet. Monk Wei, who was both loyal and brave, was the most suitable candidate.
Zhao Gang shook his head." No, I didn't. Why would Commander Chen ask that?"”
Chen Liang understood that because of his existence, Zhao Gang's life had changed. He did not meet Wei Da Yong, so he naturally could not save him.
"Oh, oh, I was just asking."”
Pausing for a moment, Chen Liang said," Commissar Zhao, you came at the right time. Our Independent Regiment just won a great battle. We have many things to do now. Now that you're here, I have help."”
"Oh right, I've also brought along a commendation from the head of the headquarters!" Zhao Gang said.”
As he spoke, he took out a document from his briefcase.
He read it out loud." I'm very pleased to know that your troops wiped out more than 300 defenders of the Tiger Pavilion Stronghold at the cost of zero casualties. I've specially sent a message of commendation to your troops. We'll continue to work hard and bravely make new contributions."
Zhao Gang will be appointed as the new political commissar of the Independent Regiment to assist Comrade Chen Liang in commanding the Independent Regiment. I hope that you will unite and lead the troops well.”
Chen Liang was not surprised by this. He immediately received the commendation message and said with a smile,"Thank you, Chief of the headquarters. Political Commissar Zhao, you came at the right time. Let's discuss the recruitment and expansion of the army.”
As he spoke, he called Zhao Gang into the house.
