Chapter 167: Pursuit from behind, ambush preparations in front
This is something I never dared to think about before.
The boss naturally would not miss such an opportunity and immediately ordered the large force to continue the pursuit.
The chief of staff next to him could say with a smile.
"This is all thanks to Wang Lin's judgment. If he hadn't warned us in advance, we wouldn't have known about the Japanese conspiracy."
"We took adequate precautions this time. When the Japanese troops arrived, we never expected that so many troops would be waiting here."
"The Ninth Brigade is finished this time."
Others were equally excited.
It was rare for the entire Eighth Route Army command to be so relaxed.
However, a serious atmosphere soon spread again, and everyone knew in their hearts that the battle was not over yet.
They only defeated one brigade of the Japanese, and the Japanese had more troops.
This war of resistance requires even greater efforts.
The boss looked at the chief of staff next to him and said with a smile.
"Send a telegram to Wang Lin to inform them of the situation here."
"Looking at the situation, the Japanese are now retreating towards the Huting stronghold. Wang Lin must have been waiting for a long time. Let them seize the opportunity and choose a hillside to ambush the Japanese."
"Remind them not to engage in a head-on fight. Even if the Japanese's main force is crippled, there are still many left. Let them fight according to their capabilities. They are all good soldiers. Try to avoid casualties as much as possible."
Wang Lin had already said that he would come to support.
The location is right near the Huting stronghold.
I believe we are already on the way. As long as we are well prepared, we will be able to strike the Japanese again.
……
On the way from Huting stronghold to Dashawan.
At this moment, Wang Lin was driving a vehicle with his special forces troops to the Eighth Route Army headquarters in Dashawan.
As the distance gets closer.
Wang Lin also became more vigilant to avoid encountering the Japanese patrol troops.
But what surprised him was that there was no Japanese patrol force around.
It was definitely not because Wang Lin was unlucky. You have to know that the Japanese have always been very vigilant. Even during combat, they would definitely send patrol troops behind their rear to check the situation.
Prevent unexpected situations.
But they didn't encounter a single Japanese soldier along the way.
However, Wang Lin quickly guessed the reason.
"It seems the battle situation on the front line is tense. The Japanese can't attack and can't even squeeze out the patrol troops."
"However, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters has made all the necessary preparations, and with the assistance of the special forces, the Ninth Brigade is not yet able to withstand it."
Wang Lin had a faint smile on his face and was very confident about the situation that would follow.
He believed that the special forces of Daxia Bay would not let him down.
The soldier next to him was in charge of communications and suddenly turned around and looked at Wang Lin in surprise.
"Captain, we just received news from headquarters. Good news."
"Battalion Commander Wang led over 500 special forces soldiers in a surprise attack on the Japanese artillery positions, directly eliminating them. Our main force seized this opportunity to launch a counterattack."
"The Japanese were caught off guard and were immediately defeated. Their entire army was badly defeated and is now retreating towards the Huting stronghold. Our troops are also pursuing them from behind."
"The boss told us to look for opportunities to ambush the enemy, but also told us to do it within our capabilities."
The Japanese army was defeated!
When Wang Lin heard the news, a smile appeared on his face.
"We've worked so hard for this moment."
"The Ninth Brigade is doomed. We must prepare in advance and take advantage of this opportunity to give them a good fight."
Wang Lin would not miss such a good opportunity to kick a drowning dog.
He quickly stopped the car.
The truck following behind also quickly stopped.
All the soldiers gathered together, and Wang Lin also told the news of the Eighth Route Army's victory.
As soon as the news came out, all the special forces soldiers cheered with joy.
"Great! We defeated the Japanese Ninth Brigade."
"This is an entire brigade, and we actually defeated them head-on."
"Trying to launch a surprise attack on our headquarters is simply courting death."
Everyone was very excited and morale was high.
Wang Lin had previously thought that it was impossible for the Japanese to break through the defensive positions, so he was not too worried.
But no one expected that the Japanese would be defeated so quickly.
Arrangements are also being made quickly at this moment.
The following battles were mainly aimed at the retreating Japanese troops, so the wounded soldiers naturally could not continue to participate in the battle and would slow down their speed.
Wang Lin simply left behind a platoon of soldiers to take care of the wounded, while the rest of the troops followed him to the target location to find a suitable place for an ambush.
Fortunately, the terrain in northwest Shanxi is complex.
The thing that is most abundant here is hillsides, making it easy to find a suitable ambush position.
The soldiers who stayed behind to take care of the wounded took the remaining wounded and prepared to return to the Eighth Route Army headquarters via another route.
The main combat locations now are Dashawan and Huting strongholds.
If you go around from other roads, you will basically not encounter the Japanese.
The Ninth Corps will be defeated, and it is very likely that there will be Japanese troops from other units coming to support it in the rear. The Fourth Brigade and other Japanese troops that have been dispatched will certainly not stand idly by.
The Japanese troops in front are definitely returning to the Hucheng stronghold.
In order to avoid encountering a large number of Japanese troops and the support troops behind, Wang Lin asked the wounded soldiers to take a detour.
Afterwards, Wang Lin asked more than 50 soldiers to ride on two trucks carrying supplies as the vanguard, and the other more than 200 soldiers followed at a rapid march.
The Japanese were still more than 20 kilometers away from them and would not meet them so soon. They continued to advance for a while before looking for an ambush location.
This place is not far from the Huting stronghold. If other Japanese soldiers from the rear come to support us, it will be very dangerous.
……
At the same time, on the battlefield in Daxia Bay.
Wang Gensheng and others saw that the main force of the Eighth Route Army had launched a charge, and they pursued the Japanese devils relentlessly, ready to kill them all.
Wang Gensheng's troops would naturally not stand idly by and had already made sufficient preparations.
"Brothers, it's time for us to perform."
"Kill these little devils, kill these invaders!"
Under Wang Gensheng's command, a special forces force of more than 400 people immediately launched an attack on the surrounding Japanese devils.
The Japanese troops passing by were retreating and were caught off guard by the sudden attack, resulting in a large number of casualties.
The Japs barely managed to hold off a counterattack.
However, when fighting against Wang Gensheng's special forces, they chose the wrong target.
The Japanese troops have begun to suffer a major defeat.
Some officers were still able to gather their troops as much as possible, but many soldiers had already been separated from the main force, and many Japanese soldiers could be seen all over the battlefield.
At this moment, the Japanese brigade commander's personal guards also arrived at the front line.
