Chapter 14 In the blunt knife butchering the cow
Xu Shijiu is still a little embarrassed.
As soon as the two sides exchanged fire, Xu Shijiu knew that he was probably too optimistic about the war. After the last expansion of the army, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui received more than three months of hard training, but did not experience the baptism of actual combat. From the bottom of the matter, this was just a new army that had not been in actual combat.
Many new recruits were confused as soon as they entered the battlefield. They were already very skilled in training, and they forgot at this time. The commander asked to lie down, they stood there, the commander let the gun open, they stood there, the commander let the charge, and they were still standing there, but they couldn't even play 50% of the level of training.
In addition to the offensives of the 4th, 1th, 3rd Regiment, and 3rd Regiment, which were left to serve as the reserve team, all of which were frustrated. In less than half an hour, the three main battalions that were responsible for the main attack were basically disabled.
The Japanese army that entered the mountains to sweep this time was only a third-rate garrison. Not to mention that it was incomparable to the seventeen permanent divisions, it was even more unsuccessful than the dozens of special divisions organized in the early stage of the Sino-Japanese War. Most of the soldiers of these garrisons were reserves, and many of them were retired for many years. Their military literacy was severely degraded and their fighting will was far from comparable to that of young people.
However, these local garrisons have participated in actual combat, and they have extremely rich combat experience
Experience has made the Japanese soldiers more powerful. They can more accurately understand the intentions of the chief and execute the chief's orders more timely and effectively. In contrast, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, let alone those big-headed soldiers who have joined the army for less than half a year, even many grassroots officers were stupid and were in chaos as soon as the war started.
Gao Shenxing put down his telescope, and a hint of anxiety appeared on his face. He said to Xu Shijiu: "Old Xu, the situation is not very good. The casualties are a bit serious, which has affected morale."
Cases and casualties will affect morale. After all, people are living creatures rather than machines. No matter how strong the will is, when a person with a strong will dies before his eyes, he will inevitably shake his will. Once he shakes his will, the officers and soldiers' spirits will immediately fall.
At this moment, the morale of the troops was obviously not as high as it was at the beginning.
If this situation continues, morale may collapse.
"I'm passing the order, and each regiment will leave a company responsible for the feint attack, and the main force retreats for five miles to rest." Xu Shijiu also felt that this situation could not be continued, so he decisively issued an order, "The little Japanese stupid cow is quite stubborn. He has been here and can still struggle to make such a big move, but it's okay, we have time to play with it."

Ito Shigeru discovered that the attack intensity of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui has dropped significantly.
"Haha, the Chinese people are no longer available." Ito Shiro suddenly became excited, turned his head and shouted at Noguchi Takayuki, "Noguchi, what did I say just now, the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was just a group of mobs, they could no longer resist it. Ha, order the squadrons to immediately turn into a counterattack, and kill them."
(Split Line)
"Old Xu, the little Japanese has turned into a counterattack." Gao Shenxing turned his head and yelled at Xu Shijiu.
"I see it, so let's counterattack." Xu Shijiu put down his telescope and turned his head to command Heixiazi, "Tell me the order, and all regiments and battalions retreated, leading the Japanese to the deep mountains. I want to see if the Japanese dare to divide their troops, hum."
"Yes." Hei Xiazi responded with a loud noise and turned around to convey the order. Gao Shenxing said again, "Old Xu, little Japanese is not stupid, I'm afraid he won't be fooled."
If you are familiar with the terrain in the mountains, the little Japanese can't match the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui.
If the little Japanese really dared to divide their troops and go deep into the mountains to pursue them, the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army would be able to bite them to death bit by bit. After all, the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army also had two thousand small troops. It would be more than enough to eat a brigade of the little Japanese, but it would be more than enough to eat a squadron of the little Japanese.
(Split Line)
The Japanese army was still not as familiar with the terrain as the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui.
Therefore, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui retreated with great strides, and the Japanese army was blind.
Seeing that the Japanese army's positions expanded and the front line grew longer, Noguchi Takayuki soon realized something was wrong and turned to Shigeru Ito and said, "Ito San, you can't pursue it anymore. The Imperial Army is not familiar with the terrain here. If you pursue it in the deep mountains, you will most likely be divided and surrounded by the Chinese army, and you will be passive at that time.
Although Ito Shigeru was arrogant, he was not stupid, and he also saw the hidden danger.
Ito Shiro nodded and ordered the adjutant to say, "Order, all squadrons will stop pursuing."

Gao Shenxing put down his telescope and said to Xu Shijiu: "Old Xu, what am I saying? Little Japan is not that stupid."
"Hmph, the little Japanese is not stupid, but they are not very smart." Xu Shijiu snorted lightly and ordered the black-shaved man to say, "Tell me the order, each regiment and battalion immediately turn to counterattack, bit the little Japanese butt and beat it to death. If the little Japanese turns around to fight, they will immediately turn around and retreat. Never be allowed to fight, go quickly."
"Yes." Hei Xiaozi hurriedly took the order.
Gao Shenxing looked at Xu Shijiu and asked, "Old Xu, where are you singing?"
"Where did you come out?" Xu Shijiu smiled and said, "How come Shangwen's sixteen-character policy is said?"
"The enemy advances and retreats, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, the enemy is tired, and I will fight, the enemy retreats and chases me, and this is not what Shang Wen said, but what their Communist leader Mao Zedong said." Gao Shenxing said, "I heard that Mao Zedong is amazing and a character. The Red Army was at a loss in Guizhou, but as soon as he came to power, he immediately crossed the Chishui River four times. What a powerful person Xue Yue? He was all confused by him. In the end, the Red Army entered Sichuan, and he also led the Central Army to pursue Guiyang."
Xu Shijiu smiled and said, "I only take the eight characters of it. It means that the enemy advances and I retreat. I chases the enemy retreats. But it is not vivid enough. Our style of playing is more like cutting flesh with a blunt knife. Although the flesh stabbed by each knife is not much, it is enough for the Japanese to drink a pot of it. If the Japanese don't know what to do, they will feel better at that time.

"Bagayaru, these damn china pigs" Ito Shigeru put down his telescope, and fire almost spurted out of his eyes.
What tactics does the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army have? As soon as the Japanese army attacked, they immediately scattered, flew into the mountains and forests and disappeared without a trace. However, as soon as the Japanese army turned around and retreated, the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army would immediately emerge from all corners, then gathered together to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese army.
The Japanese army turned around and launched a counterattack, and the anti-Japanese and national rescue army in southern Anhui scattered again.
After several repetitions, the Japanese army was at a loss. They could not advance or retreat, so they could only passively defend their positions and endured fragmentary attacks by the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui. Although this fragmentary attack was not scary, it was extremely annoying, disturbing people and restless.
Noguchi Takayuki realized that the situation was not good and advised Ito Shigeru: "Ito San, please retreat quickly."
"Retreat, no, I will never," Ito Shige refused to give up, saying a fierce voice, "If the Chinese people think that using this rogue tactic can stop the attack of the imperial army, it would be wrong. The order is to use the 1st squadron as the leader and the cavalry as the rear guard to chase me towards the southwest, and eat the Chinese army in this direction first."
Ito Shigeru is still of some level. He knows that being passively beaten is not a solution, and he must fight back decisively, but he cannot bloom from all sides and fight back from all sides. After all, the Japanese army is still at a clear disadvantage in terms of military strength. If it blooms from all sides and fights back from all sides, it is very likely that it will be divided and surrounded by the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.
But if you choose one of them, you will have no such concerns if you fight back with all your might.
The Japanese army was embraced in a group, and the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui could not swallow it.

"Old Xu, little Japanese is concentrating on chasing the L group." Gao Shen walked.
"It's interesting. It seems that the commander of the Japanese opposite is still of a certain level." Xu Shijiu nodded and said, "But this is in China's territory after all, and it's even more in Erlong Mountain. Japanese want to bite and eat our troops all the way, and they're too naive to think about it. Japanese will soon feel regretful."
After a pause, Xu Shijiu ordered Heixiazi again, "Heizi, pass me the order, the l regiment doesn't have to care about anything. Spread my legs and run towards Heilong's mouth. The other regiments and battalions all stick to me, attack from both wings and behind me, don't let the little Japanese have a moment of peace."
