Chapter 267 Waiting anxiously
Chu Jie listened to Zhao Zhiguo's method and fell into deep thought. If the Japanese army really chose to break out after hearing the news, things would be simpler!
"Division Commander, if you are not satisfied, I have a second plan. Of course, this plan does not change our plan for street fighting with the Japanese army. It just changes the formation of our troops so that we can no longer fight fiercely."
The human wave tactic is an act of killing people in street fighting. The more troops are sent, the denser the troops are, and a heavy machine gun can block the entire street.
"I think the method is feasible!" The chief of staff believed that the plan proposed by Zhao Zhiguo could be tried.
Zhao Zhiguo didn't have to worry about whether Chu Jie could speak Japanese. There were many officers in the Shanxi-Sui Army who studied abroad in the military academy of the island country and served as officers in the Shanxi-Sui Army after they came back.
Chu Jie took a look at the time: "I'm going to discuss with several other division commanders and try to formulate an action plan before dark."
Time is running out. The Japanese army may be able to fight back tonight, so they must hurry up.
"Teacher, won't you listen to my second plan?"
"You write down the second plan. If the plan doesn't work, I will consider the second plan."
Zhao Zhiguo's second plan is actually a three-by-three plan. Based on the current combat effectiveness of the Jinsui Army, Zhao Zhiguo plans to organize them into groups of five.
Now Chu Jie no longer cares about any plan, as long as there is room for improvement, he decides to adopt them all.
There were no artillery or aircraft bombings outside the city all afternoon. As evening approached, the Japanese troops inside the city became increasingly worried.
They were also looking forward to their large army entering Pingcheng and joining them.
Now they have no news about the large army. The Japanese detachment leader also sent a telegram to their supporting troops to inquire about the results, but the telegram was like a stone's throw, without any response.
Just as the Japanese detachment leader was thinking about what happened to their large army, the Chinese army shouted into the city.
Through shouting, the Japanese detachment leader understood that their large force was defeated and there would be no more reinforcements to support them.
Regarding the propaganda of the Chinese army, the Japanese detachment leader was skeptical. First of all, he believed that the Chinese army was deliberately shaking their morale, so he believed that the news was probably false.
Secondly, they have been unable to contact their main force, and there were no explosions outside the city. This did not make him doubt that their large force was indeed what the Chinese army said.
If they lose their reinforcements and his remaining troops are trapped in the city, even if the Jinsui Army does not attack them, they will be trapped alive in the city.
"Continue to contact our support troops!" The Japanese detachment leader began to become anxious.
"Report, your Excellency, the detachment leader, the Chinese army is retreating from the city!" A soldier reported to the Japanese detachment leader.
After shouting to the Japanese troops, the Jinsui Army began to give up all the occupied streets and retreated one after another!
When the Japanese detachment leader learned of this situation, he quickly went to check and saw that the Chinese troops had really withdrawn. His doubts became more and more serious. He gradually began to believe that the Chinese troops' propaganda was true. Otherwise, how could they retreat?
.
"Order Team Seko to launch a counterattack in the direction of the city gate!"
All this is not enough to prove that everything is true, he has to prove it with his own actions.
But the Japanese detachment leader did not know that he was following the rhythm of the Jinsui Army step by step towards a trap.
In war, once you are led by your opponent, failure will happen sooner or later.
"Da da da"
The Japanese squad launched an attack on the Jinsui Army at the city gate. The troops guarding the city gate opened fire directly, killing and wounding more than a dozen little Japs. Seeing the fierce firepower of the Chinese army, the Segu squad immediately withdrew with their troops.
Come.
"Your Excellency, detachment leader, the Chinese army has indeed evacuated the neighborhood. They are guarding the city gate, and the firepower at the city gate has been strengthened."
Captain Seko's report made the Japanese detachment leader feel that his guess was getting more and more correct.
First, there was no fighting outside the city all afternoon, and secondly, their telegrams could not contact the main army. Now the Chinese army has withdrawn from the city and is guarding the city gate. There are various signs that the Jinsui Army wants to trap them alive in the city.
.
Suspicion gradually began to grow in the mind of the Japanese detachment leader, just like the fear of soldiers on the battlefield, slowly eroding the body of the Japanese detachment leader until it was out of control.
As the sky darkened and soldiers from both sides ceased their activities, Chu Jie felt restless in his headquarters. He didn't like to hear the sound of gunfire before, but now he was looking forward to hearing the sound of gunfire.
Even more uneasy than Chu Jie is the Japanese detachment leader. They have been trying to contact reinforcements, but there is no news at all. Isn't this equivalent to giving them a death sentence?
He had never been so anxious before, and now there were two villains fighting in his mind. One villain said to hold on, and the other said to break out. If they didn't break out, they would have no chance.
The Japanese detachment leader was not in the mood for dinner and struggled for three or four hours without making a decision.
Zhao Zhiguo had a big appetite. The pasta made in the area where the Jin-Sui Army was located was the best in China, and he didn't eat much after he withdrew from the battlefield.
When dinner finally started, Zhao Zhiguo and his brothers had a great appetite, which made Chu Jie even more anxious when he saw it.
"Commander, if the Japanese army really breaks through, they will definitely not choose to do it in the middle of the night. It is just ten o'clock at this time, when the troops on both sides are at their most energetic."
Zhao Zhiguo looked at Chu Jie with a somewhat unkind look and quickly comforted him.
If it were ten o'clock in normal times, there would be no entertainment activities and everyone would go to bed early! But now we are on the front line, and the slightest noise will make the soldiers on both sides nervous.
Master Chu rolled his eyes at Zhao Zhiguo, why didn't he know? But before the matter really came to an end, he always felt that something was controlling him in his heart.
"If the little Japs don't break out tonight, our work will be in vain, and we will give up the city we finally captured!" Chu Jie said, "If the Japanese army doesn't break out, you can charge me with your gun.
Take back the city we lost."
"Commander, you know better than me. In fact, we can't take Pingcheng today. We have to evacuate tomorrow. There is no need to risk my life again, right?"
When Zhao Zhiguo heard Chu Jie's words, he thought to himself that he couldn't stop his mouth even though he was eating. Why should he talk to his immediate boss when he had nothing to do? Wouldn't he be causing trouble for himself?
Chu Jie knew that what Zhao Zhiguo said was right. The plan tonight would not work. They must be prepared to evacuate tomorrow. The Japanese troops coming to support again would definitely not have only such a small number of troops, and they would no longer be directed at Pingcheng, but
Chapter completed!
