Chapter 890 Dawn of Victory
By sacrificing soldiers to protect the chariot, the Japanese commander would not be easily detected if he acted alone.
Let him escape from the battlefield with a few guards, and the possibility of returning is still very high.
In fact, the little Japanese officer thought very clearly that in the hands of the Chinese army, a Japanese joint captain, as long as it was publicized in the newspapers, it would have a very negative impact on the Japanese army.
On the Chinese battlefield, the Little Devils have never seen a regiment of troops wiped out by the Chinese army, and a regiment leader was killed.
This kind of news will inevitably boost the confidence of China's anti-Japanese military and civilians.
When the anti-Japanese sentiment was at its lowest and the people and the army lost confidence, this was tantamount to letting them see that there was still hope for the anti-Japanese war.
And the person who destroyed them was none other than Zhao Zhiguo!
Originally, Zhao Zhiguo was a difficult opponent for them. If Zhao Zhiguo became famous and came to defect to Zhao Zhiguo, people who participated in the anti-Japanese war would flock to him.
Zhao Zhiguo used this to strengthen his army, wouldn't it soar into the sky?
By then, will the Japanese army still be Zhao Zhiguo's opponent in this area?
A series of results will have a chain reaction, which is something that the little devil cannot bear.
However, many people will lose because they think their face is more important than their lives.
He buried a whole regiment of troops in a mountain that he couldn't even name, but the regiment leader managed to survive. How could he have the face to meet Jiangdong's elders?
Moreover, the commander of the regiment who escaped alone will have a foothold in the army in the future.
Thinking that he would be spurned for the rest of his life, the Japanese captain suddenly gained some backbone: "Imperial soldiers would rather die in battle than settle for nothing!"
With the war going like this, even if he doesn't go to court-martial after he returns, he will still be a walking corpse from now on.
At this time, the Japanese commander would rather die in battle, and he didn't care what the consequences would be if he died in battle.
After all, as a dead person, it is really unnecessary to consider the affairs of the living.
The battle continued until dawn, but it was a pity that many people never had the chance to see the sun today.
Yesterday's blood has not dried up, and today there will be people who will continue to shed blood for this country.
After a battle last night, the Japanese troops in the direction of the canyon were completely extinguished.
After a night of excitement, the turtle retreated back into the canyon and continued to act like a bastard, motionless.
The little devils who were surrounded were already extremely short of water. After all the fuss last night, some of the little devils had already fainted due to lack of water.
The little devils who were still able to move were also powerless. If it weren't for the lack of sunlight in the canyon, they would have turned into mummies.
Listening to the gunfire that was still ringing, the Japanese soldiers felt that the kite of hope in their hands was flying farther and farther, and the kite string was about to break free from their hands.
The troops brought by the Japanese commander to support him were already at the end of their strength. Let alone supporting them, the Japanese commander was already unable to protect himself.
After a night of hard fighting, the Japanese commander's strength had been reduced by half.
Zhao Zhiguo's losses were not small. By daybreak, there were still more than 90 veterans of the two companies, including the wounded.
All the soldiers in the cannon platoon were killed in the battle, and only three soldiers were left in the squad that Gao Cang came to support.
They fought this battle very hard, but they also ushered in the dawn of victory.
"Captain, all the troops have been deployed! Let's stick to the old method and waste time with the little devils!"
Not taking the initiative, not refusing, and not taking responsibility is Zhao Zhiguo's consistent style towards little devils.
Although the Japanese army had unfavorable terrain and did not have the initiative on the battlefield, Zhao Zhiguo would never take the initiative to attack.
The little devil's marksmanship is not bad. Even if he can kill the Japanese army, the price he pays will be relatively high.
On the battlefield, it's not like playing a game. Soldiers can't be resurrected after they die.
Every soldier was raised by his mother's parents. Now that the outcome of this battle has been decided, Zhao Zhiguo will of course choose to bring more soldiers back alive.
"If you had come a step later, I might have been glorious. Yesterday's battle was well arranged."
Zhao Zhiguo knew that squad of soldiers were sent by Gao Cang.
If that squad had not appeared on the battlefield, I am afraid that Zhao Zhiguo would not have had the chance to see today's battle situation.
"Captain, I've been in the Northwest Army and I've been in the Jinsui Army. To be honest, this is the first time I've been in your position and personally led a charge."
"You don't need to teach me how to fight!"
"Look at you, you are not happy as soon as I say it. According to the military position, I really should call you captain. In terms of age, I am nine years older than you. We have known each other for so long, so you call me big brother.
Isn’t it too much? What’s wrong with listening to Big Brother’s advice?”
Zhao Zhiguo narrowed his eyes and looked at Gao Cang: "When did you learn to take advantage of this? If you were fifty years older than me, I could just call you grandpa."
"That won't work. If I were fifty years older than you, I wouldn't be able to hold this gun!" Gao Cang said with a smile. In fact, he felt lucky to have met Zhao Zhiguo.
Every soldier hopes to meet a commander who dares to lead them into battle, rather than someone who just lets the soldiers charge and the commander steps on the corpses of the soldiers to get promoted.
"There's another thing I don't understand. How did you judge that the Japs would have a squadron of troops to steal Tian Kezhi's ass?"
Zhao Zhiguo used his troops like a god, and Gao Cang admired him.
But this kind of ability to open one's eyes and predict the future made Gao Cang feel a little scared.
If this is really the case, how dare the little devils continue to attack? That's not like lighting a lantern in the toilet and seeking death!
Zhao Zhiguo pointed his finger: "Brain! Think about it more. If you are the captain of the Japanese army, how can you ensure that you have a higher chance of winning this battle?"
Fighting sometimes does require a little bit of luck.
But more often than not, it is very difficult to be good at calculations and overall arrangements. It is very difficult to increase the winning rate a little bit in each battle.
Facing such a difficult opponent as Zhao Zhiguo, the Japanese army certainly needed to choose a more stable style of play.
"Rescuing the besieged troops will suddenly double the number of troops, and the combat effectiveness will increase linearly. You can surround us with your backhand. If I were the captain of the Japanese army, I can't think of a better way than this."
The behavior of the Japanese commander at the beginning was so strange.
Especially the "mosquito incense" way of moving forward made Zhao Zhiguo feel even more strange.
The Japanese army must have had their own plan for marching like this. The result was to send a unit near the canyon so that they could be concealed during the rescue.
"But this is too mysterious. Why do I feel like I'm listening to a story?"
Thinking about the issue from the position of the Japanese army captain, one can indeed think of many things.
But Gao Cang was a little busy with what happened in his own army, and it was really hard for him to think about the little Japanese.
