Bright Sword Rising from Picking Rewards

Chapter 118: Give residents of the county a good impression
Following the rapid investigation by the Japanese intelligence agency, Lieutenant General Abe Heisuke, the commander of the No. 40 [-]st Division headquarters, soon received the designation of the national army troops stationed in Wutai County.
"The Chinese Army stationed in Wutai County is actually the 601st Regiment of the Jinsui Army that killed Captain Bantian?"

"And the force is not enough to form a regiment?"

"Hiss! Baga Yalu! Damn the 601st Regiment of the Jinsui Army! Give me an order to dispatch an elite unit to carry out encirclement and suppression. We must kill this China Army that dares to resist our 41st Division. Annihilate them all!"

"I want them all to die!"

"There is no need to persuade us to surrender or keep alive!"

As soon as I knew it was He Xiaoyang's 601st Regiment of the Jinsui Army, after fighting the devil troops under his command,
The division commander, Lieutenant General Abe Heisuke, suddenly became furious and issued an order to encircle and suppress He Xiaoyang's troops.

However, the reason why he only sent one regiment of troops instead of sending the entire division to fight was because the telegram sent back by the intelligence agency showed that the strength of the troops He Xiaoyang took to Wutai County was less than one regiment. The troop strength is only two battalions at most.

So he doesn't pay special attention or attention to it.

Because he felt that the elite of his regiment, plus an infantry brigade, were enough to encircle and destroy the 601st Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army, which was not even full.

He knew exactly what kind of army the Jinsui Army was.

Because he has commanded troops and fought with these timid Jinsui Army troops,
Basically, their army of Japanese soldiers chased the Shanxi-Sui Army troops and frightened them into fleeing.

Or the opponent suffered heavy casualties.

There were even many Jinsui officers and soldiers who surrendered.

It is also because of this that the division commander Lieutenant General Abe Heisuke is not optimistic about the Jinsui Army troops at all. He feels that dealing with the Jinsui Army troops is really an easy task.

Although he still didn't know why the 2nd Infantry Battalion was attacked by the 601st Regiment of the Jinsui Army stationed in Wutai County and suffered heavy casualties. Even the captain, Lieutenant Colonel Sugata Shoji, was killed.

But as soon as he heard that his opponent was the Jinsui Army, he had no worries or doubts at all. He even felt that most of the responsibility for this defeat was the underestimation of the enemy by the captain, Lieutenant General Shoji Sugata, and was defeated by the opponent. Got ambushed and attacked.

Just like the Eighth Route Army usually, they like to ambush and conduct sneak attacks.

"Hay!"

"Hay!"

"Hay!"

Following his combat order,
A series of Japanese officers' voices of agreement immediately rang out in response.

Then, at the headquarters of the 41th Infantry Regiment under the 239st Division,

Yamada Takahito, the commander of the 239th Regiment, received a combat order from Lieutenant General Abe Heisuke, the commander of the division, ordering his entire regiment to attack He Xiaoyang's troops in Wutai County immediately.

And will immediately dispatch the aviation force to support the operation,
After receiving the telegram,

The captain of the 239th Regiment, Yamada Takahito, also stared at him.
Immediately issue a combat order for the entire army to attack.
So, soon, the entire 239th Regiment set off and marched to Wutai County to support the 2nd Infantry Brigade in the battle and to encircle and suppress He Xiaoyang's troops.

But at this time, the 2nd Japanese Infantry Brigade was defeated and was running around to escape.

Especially in the face of the crazy pursuit and bombing by He Xiaoyang's aviation force, a lot of the heavy firepower weapons and equipment of these Japanese soldiers were destroyed.

Especially with the heroic fighting of He Xiaoyang's clone troops and the recruit troops who have been trained to kill enemies, they are no longer recruit troops, but troops with certain precise shooting skills.

So under the joint attack of these new recruits,
The Japanese of the 2nd Infantry Brigade fled even faster and panicked, and suffered huge casualties.

In particular, the casualties suffered by the Japanese officers and soldiers who responded quickly and resisted tenaciously were particularly huge.

Inside the city of Wutai County,
"The Japs troops outside seem to have been defeated by our troops from the 601st Regiment of the Jinsui Army and have begun to flee!"

"No way! When did our Jinsui Army, who are greedy for life and afraid of death, become so brave? We were able to defeat an army of more than a thousand Japs? Are you dazzled? Or are you just talking nonsense?" "Who? If you don’t believe it, go out and take a look for yourself. I just transported ammunition to the troops outside, so I can see it clearly. At first, I didn’t believe it myself, but after I looked at it for a long time, it was still true!”

"Hi! Is it really that powerful? The 601st Regiment of the Jinsui Army is actually better than the other Jinsui Army and the Central Army? It seems that I have to go out and take a look. This is simply the first time I have seen Jinsui after the loss of Taiyuan. I will go out and see if the army can kill the Japanese with such force!"

"What's so surprising about that? Don't forget that the 601st Regiment of the Jinsui Army killed Captain Sakata, and their leader was even published in the newspapers. If he doesn't have a certain amount of combat effectiveness, how can he kill the Japanese leader?"

"Well said! And we should be lucky to have such an outstanding army to protect us from the Japs' troops. Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be chatting here this time, but have been killed by the Japs' troops. They entered the city and started killing people!"

At the same time, the residents in Wutai County began to get excited and talk about it.

Especially when they heard that the incoming Japanese troops had been defeated by He Xiaoyang's 601st Regiment of the Jinsui Army and fled, their emotions became even more boiling and their discussions became even more heated.

There were even people celebrating their victory, singing and dancing,

Moreover, the enthusiasm of the people who supported He Xiaoyang's unit in the war of resistance also increased.

Everyone was thinking of ways to support the 601st Regiment of the Jinsui Army that had repelled the incoming Japanese troops.

Give them food, drink, carry ammunition, etc.

Even the county magistrate personally led a group of well-known people in the county to condolences to the officers and soldiers under He Xiaoyang,

It's just that the battle is still going on, so the officers and soldiers under He Xiaoyang's command have no time to pay attention to their condolences.

It was not until the Japanese troops from the 2nd Battalion were beaten and evacuated that they suffered heavy casualties.
Only then was he free to accept the visits, condolences and thanks from the county magistrate and those around him.

However, such a short and fierce battle allowed He Xiaoyang and his troops of the 601st Regiment of the Jinsui Army to give these residents of Wutai County a good first impression.
