Lieutenant Commander Chinatsu was slightly happy when he heard the report from his scouts.
Like his scouts, he believed that the Yoshida Battalion was as timid as a mouse. It was just two companies of enemies, but it was as if they were faced with a formidable enemy. Moreover, they fought for so long without repelling their enemies. It was almost embarrassing.
Brighten the face of the Japanese Imperial Army.
So at this time, Chinatsu Japanese had the intention of teaching Yoshida Battalion a lesson and letting Yoshida Battalion see how his Chinatsu Battalion fought.
"Order the First Squadron to quickly occupy the mountain southeast of Jiapigou and attack the enemy with the Yoshida Brigade.
The Second Infantry Squadron was ordered to make a detour to the enemy's right rear, with the purpose of blocking the enemy's retreat.
Order the 3rd Infantry Squadron to conduct a feint attack on the enemies on the northeastern highlands, forcing them to abandon the highlands and fall into our trap.
The rest of the people are waiting, follow me here and watch the battle. Hum, I can’t imagine that the results will come out in half an hour.”
Lieutenant Colonel Qianxia sneered, he had already defeated the Chinese army that was separated from him by a mountain.
In his opinion, these Northeastern troops were simply acting like a mantis.
Of course, the Qianxia Japanese would have never dreamed that it was not the Northeast Army that was in danger now, but himself. He had already fallen into the trap prepared for him by Dragon Boat Festival.
However, why did Duanwu wait for Zhou Wei's troops to drive over, and then use his own special agent battalion to ambush the Qianxia Infantry Brigade and Jiang Qi Artillery Brigade? Wouldn't this save more time?
The reason is simple. What we need during the Dragon Boat Festival are cannons, not a pile of scrap metal.
If an ambush is carried out during the Dragon Boat Festival, the success rate can reach more than 90%, but the consequence is that heavy weapons cannot be used in the battle, resulting in inevitable casualties.
Because the Japanese truck not only pulled heavy artillery, but also contained artillery shells. Once it exploded during a firefight, the Japanese would naturally suffer heavy casualties, but the artillery and shells that the Dragon Boat Festival wanted would be gone.
What's more, these cannons will be used to deal with the Japanese pursuers during the Dragon Boat Festival!
Because you can imagine that although the Dragon Boat Festival deceived the Japanese for a while, it will definitely not be able to deceive the Japanese for the rest of their lives.
Chuzhou and Lai'an County are too close to each other, and there are telephones to contact them.
So it was only a matter of time before the Japanese found out they had been deceived.
Would the Japanese allow themselves to be deceived into an infantry brigade and an artillery brigade, and then let the Dragon Boat Festival go so easily?
This is simply impossible. Once the Japanese discover that they have been deceived, they will immediately assemble their troops to pursue him.
Therefore, Dragon Boat Festival must not only protect these cannons, but also end this battle as quickly as possible.
Because you can just imagine, what is the purpose of this long-distance attack during the Dragon Boat Festival?
He came all the way to Laian County not to attack the Japs, but to pull back the Japs' artillery.
Carrying such a heavy guy, you don't need to think about it to know that you won't be able to move fast on the road, and it will only be a matter of time before the Japanese catch up.
So Dragon Boat Festival had already made follow-up preparations, not only to pull back the Japs' cannons, but also to defeat the pursuing Japs with lightning speed and quickly get out of the battle.
Of course, the most important thing is the cannons of the Little Japs. Not only are all of them indispensable, but the trucks of the Little Japs are also required for the Dragon Boat Festival.
Because the truck was going to be bombed, he couldn't take the cannons with him either.
So, this was the plan for the Dragon Boat Festival. He asked his spy battalion to put on a show with Zhou Weiguo's troops in Jiapigou.
During the march, Yoshida's brigade, also known as Zhou Weiguo's headquarters, encountered a certain unit of the Northeast Army, and the two sides exchanged fire.
Then Duanwu pretended to let Ma Ping'an go to investigate and reported back that the enemy had many troops.
Of course, you can't say too much, because if there are too many, the Japs will be scared. But you can't say too little, because if there are too few, it will be unscientific for Yoshida's team to fight the opponent for so long.
So Ma Ping'an came back and reported that he had discovered two enemy battalions, or a regiment.
This is a big battle, because the organization of a regiment is similar to that of a Japanese brigade. (Here we are talking about a thousand-man regiment, a thousand-man brigade.)
At this time, Dragon Boat Festival said that they wanted to completely annihilate each other, and the two old Japs, Qian Xia and Jiang Qi, would not have any objections. Judging from the experience of Japanese Japs fighting against the Chinese army, two infantry brigades, plus an artillery battalion, could defeat one Chinese regiment.
, just like playing.
What's more, the tactics of the Dragon Boat Festival were very appropriate. The artillery battalion supported the Yoshida battalion from the front, while the Chinatsu infantry battalion circled back and wiped out all the troops without leakage.
It's just that they were deceived by Duanwu. Since Zhou Weiguo and Duanwu's spy camp were pretending to fight, then there were people on the peak southeast of Jiapigou that the Japanese misjudged.
The Japanese believed that the Yoshida Battalion was exchanging fire with the enemy. But in fact, the two groups were working together. So the Chinatsu Infantry Battalion stupidly fell into the trap set by the spy camp.
At the same time, the Japanese artillery brigade also fell into the trap.
Behind the mountain on the west side of Jiapigou, there is a camp of Zhou Weiguo.
There are not many people in this camp, with more than 500 people.
The Japanese artillery brigade only numbered more than 500 people.
The Japanese thought that the imperial troops from Yoshida's brigade were protecting them. Some pulled the cannons, while others moved the shells, and then they all walked obediently into the trap that Zhou Weiguo had set for them.
Zhou Weiguo watched from the top of the mountain, calculating the time to kill.
Of course, he was also waiting for the Secret Service Battalion to take action first, because his mission here was much easier than that of the Secret Service Battalion.
What the spy battalion had to face was the well-trained infantry of the Japanese army, but what he had to face was just a group of artillerymen who were not good at infantry combat.
This battle was simply too simple for Zhou Weiguo. As long as he gave the order, the Japs' artillery would be wiped out in seconds.
"You go and take a link to meet the Dragon Boat Festival. The infantry brigade on his side is not easy to eat. Remember, you must protect that boy in the Dragon Boat Festival. His life is more precious than gold now."
Zhou Weiguo ordered the adjutant beside him, who responded and quietly left with his men.
At the same time, the Dragon Boat Festival sent out a signal on the mountain, and all the soldiers began to tie the white towels they carried with them on their arms to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. After all, they were all wearing Japanese military uniforms. Once a fight broke out, they would inevitably
Inadvertently hurting one's own people.
So this hand towel will play a vital role.
But this handkerchief cannot be tied early because it is too obvious. Because except for the Japanese gendarmerie, which army would tie a white handkerchief on their arms when they are idle?
So even though Zhou Weiguo also knew that this would arouse the suspicion of the little devil, he still did it.
And sure enough, when the old devil Jiang Qi saw the strange behavior of the Yoshida Brigade, he was a little surprised. He called his messenger and ordered: "Go and ask the imperial soldiers of the Yoshida Brigade, why are they tied up on their arms?"
