Chapter 348 Escape
This is an unprecedented battle for Okamura Yasuji.
As a famous general of the empire, Okamura Yasuji always works hard to command until the last moment to minimize losses even if he loses a battle.
But now, there is a situation of defeat. The last three mechanized squadrons and a squadron of infantry were surrounded, and even Endo Shino was surrounded and whereabouts were unknown.
The reason why Endo Shino's whereabouts are unknown is that his armored vehicle was exhausted halfway through fuel, so he had no choice but to blow up the armored vehicle and go on the road with light loads.
Originally, Shino Endo wanted to take the radio station together so that he could at least contact the command center or meet with reinforcements on the road.
But Endo Shino looked at the map and felt that this hope was too slim: they only collected more than 30 remaining soldiers, and the nearest reinforcements were more than 70 kilometers away from his location. They had to walk so far on their backs without being beaten by the Eighth Route Army and the Guerrillas... It was almost a day-to-day night talk.
So, Shino Endo ordered all the equipment, including the radio station, to disguise themselves as the people and escape in disguise.
Endo Shino's choice is right.
Because even if you can join the reinforcements at this time, you may not be able to escape. Even the more reinforcements, the larger the target, the easier it is to be surrounded by the Eighth Route Army... This is the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army, and the imperial army is still in a state of falling into the water and fleeing around and being chased by people.
In this case, instead of being chased together after joining, it would be better to let the large troops attract the main force of the Eighth Route Army and sneak away secretly by disguising themselves as the people.
But in fact, Shinobu Endo has another small plan in mind.
Endo Shino was considering one issue along the way:
If you escape back, can you survive? With the style of the imperial army, this matter must be a person who takes responsibility for this failure!
So who will be responsible?
Is it Okamura Yasuji? Or is it the consultant Kano Mata from Hans?
It's unlikely!
The greater possibility is yourself.
In other words, even if you escape back for a lifetime, you will never be able to escape from death.
Then why do you still have to escape back and die?
So, Shino Endo had a seemingly perfect plan. He ordered his subordinates to disguise themselves as Chinese people to retreat in dispersed ways, and he only brought one staff officer and one guard.
The reason why he only brought one staff officer and one guard was Endo Shino's explanation was that too many people and too big a goal would arouse suspicion of the Eighth Route Army.
This is indeed understandable, but the route chosen by Endo Shino was Moriyama Lao Lin. After walking in, when the staff and the guards were unprepared, they drew out a pistol and shot two subordinates to death at close range, and then pushed the bodies into the lake and destroyed the corpse.
After that, Shino Endo intends to leave his bloody notebook... If intelligence personnel or other imperial soldiers come, they will take it for granted that Shino Endo and his men were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army or guerrillas.
In the end, Endo Shino threw away all the things related to him, including the pistol.
Endo Shino knew very well that the pistol could not protect himself at this time, but would instead harm his life.
He can also be regarded as "putting himself to death and then having a child".
Then Endo Shino disappeared like this.
The Eighth Route Army thought he had fled, but the Japanese thought he was dead on the way to retreat.
It was not until a few years later that a mute man who was pulling a rickshaw on the streets of Yuncheng covered his face and cried after hearing the news of the Japanese surrender, and choked up a few words of the Japanese, which aroused the suspicion of passers-by...
The other Japanese troops were not so lucky. The three mechanized squadrons were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army on the way to retreat, and in the end, more than 100 people surrendered.
A large group of reinforcements broke through the siege, but was blocked by Li Yunlong's independent regiment and could not move. In the end, with the cooperation of the main force of the 21st Division on the other side, he barely broke through more than 200 people, and the rest remained in the encirclement.
After achieving such a great victory, the leader called Wang Xuexin immediately. He said: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, it's well organized! Especially the improved 'high fire' eliminated the Japanese airports and their air force, and they fought beautifully! This made the Japanese stunned. I guess I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time!"
"The chief has been too rewarded!" Wang Xuexin replied: "These are thanks to Sanjiadian Arsenal, which can produce the pulse engine in such a short time!"
"Hey!" said the leader: "If it weren't for your idea, they wouldn't have come up with it! Very good! But... you have to think of a way to fight a 'high fire' of 200 kilometers. I'm afraid this can't be hidden from Yingshang!"
Wang Xuexin felt a headache when he heard this.
The leader is right. The "high fire" thing is different from other equipment, such as any gun or rocket launcher, and the secret use can be hidden from others.
But "high fire" flies in the sky, and it is flying at a low altitude of hundreds of meters. Anyone can observe it with a telescope.
And there were hundreds of them in a dozen, flying from Yuanchang Airport to the Japanese temporary airport... Many people can see witnesses of this thing, and they can't hide it even if they want to.
Wang Xuexin guessed correctly, Ying Jiang got the news immediately.
The latest news is Sun Erwei. He used the funds to buy many intelligence personnel, some of which are staring at the "Gaohuo"... Although these intelligence personnel are Chinese, they are not considered traitors, because China and Ying Jiang are allies themselves, and these intelligence personnel have been approved by the Eighth Route Army. Even the intelligence personnel themselves do not know that providing these intelligence to Ying Jiang will make Wang Xuexin embarrassed.
After Sun Erwei got this situation, he immediately reported the information to his superiors, then reported it one by one, and finally came to the hands of the Admiral and General Doolittle.
The Admiral immediately denied: "Is this unlikely? The bomb of two hundred kilometers... and it was developed by the Eighth Route Army!"
General Doolittle hesitated.
"General!" Dulite said: "When the Eighth Route Army developed a rocket worth dozens of kilometers, we also thought it was impossible, but that was a fact. If the Eighth Route Army's rocket could hit fifty kilometers, then wouldn't it be relatively easy for them to increase their range to two hundred kilometers?"
The Admiral was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "What's important is how they can keep the rockets accurate at such a long distance. Range is indeed not a big problem!"
The Admiral also understood this point. If the range was to be extended, at most it would be to equip this rocket with a more efficient engine.
This is indeed not an "impossible" category.
But even Hawks can't do it if you have to hit the target two hundred kilometers away.
