Chapter 115 Unfamiliar with business
The puppet troops under Guo Hanting succumbed to the Japs because they were afraid of death, and they would also succumb to the Chinese troops because they were afraid of death.
Ichiro Toyoda did not want to push the puppet soldiers to the opposite side. If these puppet soldiers were cornered and turned their guns to fight with them, Toyoda Ichiro would have no place to cry even if he wanted to.
Even if he wanted to kill a few puppet soldiers to establish his authority, he couldn't do it on the battlefield.
"Order the two battalions of the Imperial Alliance Army to retreat!"
Ichiro Toyoda finally gave in to reality and let the puppet troops withdraw.
But the battle had to continue, and he was reluctant to let his men die. He had seen through the binoculars just how accurate the Chinese soldiers' marksmanship was.
And their cannons have been destroyed by Chinese artillery. Without artillery cover, charging like this is indeed no different from surrendering to death.
Toyoda Ichiro fell into the same deadlock as his previous commander, but he was not someone who dared not try.
"Night, yes, night is our best protective color!" Ichiro Toyoda thought of a perfect plan, "If the Imperial Army can pretend to be dead, our troops can also pretend to be dead."
Of course, Toyoda Ichiro did not ask his soldiers to pretend to be dead, but to use death to cover their troops close to the main position of the Chinese army.
"These little devils are so boring. They get so close to our position and they give in every time!"
Yao Pengju and Norihou were very dissatisfied when they saw the little Japanese's timid appearance. They both wanted to seize Ichiro Toyoda's command.
"The puppet troops have withdrawn, and the Japanese army has set up camp on the same spot. Could it be that the military skills of the little devils were all taught by a teacher?"
Zhao Zhiguo also did not expect that Ichiro Toyoda, who had made a desperate attack at the beginning, would become cowardly in front of their main position. Judging from yesterday's battle, this was not Ichiro Toyoda's fighting style at all.
"Does the little devil have any conspiracy?" Zhao Zhiguo looked at the brothers around him.
When Dianhou heard what Zhao Zhiguo said, he no longer said casually like before that the little devil was just scared by them. Instead, he imitated Zhao Zhiguo and thought seriously.
"The Japs have no artillery, no tanks or armored vehicles, only infantry. It would be too difficult for them to charge us," Dianhou said.
"Yes, there is no terrain advantage, and the puppet army will not cooperate with them in fighting. Their strength has been reduced by more than half, and Toyoda Ichiro will definitely become cautious." Qin Dongsheng also joined the discussion.
"If, I'm talking about if, you two are Ichiro Toyoda, how do you plan to attack our position?" Zhao Zhiguo asked the two men.
As everyone discussed together, Zhao Zhiguo's ideas became clearer and clearer.
"No way? Little devils rarely do this kind of thing. This is not what they are good at!"
Norihou also thought about the plan that the Japanese army might adopt, but this plan made him feel a bit outrageous.
Facing the Chinese army, the Japanese army had various advantages, such as individual combat effectiveness, guns, cannons, tanks and armored vehicles, and even aircraft.
Just move your body and you can crush the Chinese army with any one of them.
Therefore, when the Japs launch frontal attacks, they rarely use any tactics, and they rarely launch night attacks at night.
"There is a first time for everything. When you, Dianhou, encounter someone stronger than yourself who bullies you, will you choose to fight head-on with someone stronger than you?"
"Of course not, isn't that a fool? The harder you fight, the more you can arouse the opponent's toying mentality!"
Yao Pengju is a martial arts practitioner and has seen too much in this regard.
"Since you don't fight head-on, what will you do? Use weapons or fight with sap? These are all tactics! The little devil can't defeat us. If he doesn't have better weapons to help, he will definitely use tactics."
As Zhao Zhiguo analyzed step by step, several people became more and more certain that if the Japs didn't attack during the day, they would definitely resort to tricks at night.
"Dianhou, our original plan tonight is cancelled. Keep your eyes open and your ears upright. If there is any movement in front of the position, report it immediately." Zhao Zhiguo thought for a moment, "Also, report this matter to Gao Cang
, let them also be more prepared."
According to the original plan, Zhao Zhiguo originally planned to lead a platoon of soldiers to Heyun County, attack the Japanese troops in Heyun County, and evacuate the arsenals and warehouses in Heyun County.
But thinking that the Japs might attack at night, Zhao Zhiguo immediately canceled his original plan and decided to wait quietly on the position for the arrival of the Japanese troops.
In fact, Zhao Zhiguo thought of the Japanese night attack not because of this battle, but because of the future Japanese battles on the Pacific battlefield.
The Japanese opponent's firepower is fierce and powerful, which is completely different from the Japanese army. In order to win the battle, the little devils often organize manned night attacks and close combat.
After thinking of these, Zhao Zhiguo concluded that the Japanese army would definitely have the idea of a night attack, but Zhao Zhiguo could not guarantee 100%.
Ichiro Toyoda had never commanded troops to participate in a night attack battle. They were also crossing the river with stones. He asked the two squadron commanders who participated in the night attack to hold a combat meeting at his headquarters in advance to discuss countermeasures.
During the day, the two sides were in peace and quiet.
Zhao Zhiguo has also ordered that everyone except necessary sentry and duty personnel should go to bed.
As the sun gradually set in the west, Zhao Zhiguo became more and more determined that the Japs would launch a night attack.
Obviously, the little devil is not familiar with the business of night raids. If it were Zhao Zhiguo, he would definitely not be so quiet during the day, and why would he bother the other party? When everyone thought they were going to sleep well at night, he would suddenly do something
attack.
There was no movement from Ichiro Toyoda during the whole day. Even a fool could figure out that there must be something bad in the little devil's stomach, and he was just waiting to pour it out when the night was quiet.
After the night fell, Zhao Zhiguo never dared to sleep. He sat at the forefront and listened quietly to the noise outside.
"Company commander, you go and rest for a while, I'll keep an eye on you here!"
Yao Peng walked out of the underground fortifications with his hands in his hands. The cold air made him shiver.
"No, the colder the weather, the clearer my mind is. Once I go to the underground fortifications, I will easily become confused. Being a company commander for you is like being a wet nurse to the emperor. I have to worry about everything.
"
"Company commander, when you become the regiment commander one day, a few of us will serve as company commanders for you. Then we will ensure that everything is properly arranged for you."
"Go, go, go. If I become the leader, I will stay away from you guys. I don't know how many years I will lose if I stay with you, but by the way, the air in the mountains at night is good."
As he spoke, Zhao Zhiguo did not forget to sniff his nose a few times.
"Company commander, what if the little devil doesn't come tonight?"
"If you don't come, don't come. I really don't want them to come. It's much more comfortable to beat them during the day than at night."
