Chapter 1078 The Vanishing Imperial Fighter Plane!
Chapter 1078 The disappeared imperial fighter plane!
Although Zhou Weiguo looked calm on the surface, he was also beating a drum in his heart because once the Japs' plane dropped a bomb, the consequences could be imagined.
This is just like buying a lottery ticket. Even if it is one in millions, someone will always win.
What's more, if they bomb according to the route the Japs are currently flying, their chances of being damaged will be much greater than buying a lottery ticket.
However, Zhou Weiguo was worried, and when the little devil's plane kept circling above his head, suddenly, the little devil's plane made a big turn in the air, and then headed straight south.
Zhou Weiguo was very surprised, because even if the Japs really didn't notice them, they shouldn't have flown south but continued to fly north. What's more, it was obvious that the Japs' plane had discovered them, otherwise why would they have been hanging around nearby?
But why did the plane leave again? Zhou Weiguo was a little confused.
"Could it be?"
After a long time, Zhou Weiguo finally thought that the Dragon Boat Festival was still behind him. It must be that the Dragon Boat Festival saw Japanese planes coming to bomb, so he deliberately exchanged fire with the Japanese and lured the Japanese bombers back.
Zhou Weiguo frowned, because he was safe, but the Dragon Boat Festival might be in danger, and there were many Japs chasing him. Once he was surrounded by Japs, it would be difficult.
Thinking of this, Zhou Weiguo ordered: "Xu Hu, you take the third battalion to meet the Dragon Boat Festival."
Xu Hu thought for a moment and said quickly: "Yes!"
"The men from the third battalion are following me to pick up the leader of the Dragon Boat Festival."
Xu Hu greeted, and the soldiers of the third battalion were extremely happy because they could fight side by side with the Dragon Boat Festival Tuanzuo again.
Although they obeyed the orders of Dragon Boat Festival and followed Zhou Weiguo to the 522nd Regiment, they still thought about the Independent Regiment.
At this time, seeing the happy looks of the soldiers, Zhou Weiguo shook his head. Because he also felt that when these soldiers came to him, they always seemed a little unnatural.
However, he will not let him go because he is currently short of people.
And not only is he short of men, many combat troops are short of men. So if Zhou Weiguo lets go of such a force that can fight tough battles, he would be extremely stupid.
Nowadays, the Eight Immortals cross the sea and show their magical powers. Don't worry about robbing or deceiving. You can only deceive yourself and make up for it. That's what you're good at.
Zhou Weiguo's regiment can definitely be called a full regiment at this time. There are more than 1,700 people in the regiment, and it has three battalions, an artillery company, a machine gun company, and guards directly under the regiment headquarters, etc.
This can only be envied in the eyes of others.
But little did they know that Zhou Weiguo was also envious. What he envied was the Dragon Boat Festival, because there were five camps in the Dragon Boat Festival, totaling more than 5,000 people.
Zhou Weiguo wanted to laugh when he thought about it. With a regiment of 5,000 men, the local army could almost catch up with a division.
Just imagine, a thousand people can be organized into a regiment. Two regiments form one brigade, and two brigades form one division. Although it is not enough, the combat effectiveness of the Dragon Boat Festival regiment is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary troops.
What's more, the weapons and equipment of the Dragon Boat Festival regiment are so good that if any Japanese group encounters the Dragon Boat Festival regiment, it will definitely be ruined for eight lifetimes.
So this is also the reason why you can't fight according to the opponent's number.
Because just imagine, a certain Japanese brigade, after hearing that there was only one regiment defending the opponent's high ground, rushed forward with their men.
And what's the result? Good guy, more than 5,000 people came out to beat the little devil, and the little devil didn't cry?
Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival group is very confusing.
Zhou Weiguo burst into laughter and thought that although the Dragon Boat Festival seemed to have only one battalion, it actually had the strength of a full regiment.
In addition, the Japanese 116th Regiment in Lai'an County was left with only two brigades of troops. Therefore, Zhou Weiguo guessed that although the Dragon Boat Festival would not gain much advantage, it would not suffer a loss.
Thinking of this, Zhou Weiguo felt relieved and led the convoy to speed away in the direction of Mingguang.
And he would be safe for another twenty kilometers, because there was a net there. If the Japanese dared to take a step beyond the boundaries, there would be only death waiting for the little Japanese.
In other words, this is a series of pits.
Coming to Lai'an County to fight the Japanese artillery during the Dragon Boat Festival is just the beginning. If the Japanese dare to pursue us, it will be a bloody road.
The Dragon Boat Festival will eat up the Japanese pursuers bit by bit, even leaving no bones.
Just imagine, what did Duanwu do before he came to Anxian? He mobilized a large number of troops. In addition to his independent regiment and the remnants of the 522nd Regiment, he also transferred a full regiment from the 51st Army and generated electricity.
It was given to Qiu Ming's Hutoushan Independent Regiment.
And with so many people put together, it is more than enough to be a division.
But the little devils are not fools. They have already noticed the mobilization of the Chinese army. Although it is a little late, Matsui Iwane received a message from the Bengbu area around two o'clock in the afternoon, during the fierce battle with the Japanese 116th Regiment during the Dragon Boat Festival.
The news came back from the spy.
Although the three strongholds of Japanese spies were eradicated during the Dragon Boat Festival and all the Japanese spies were driven out of the city, there were still Japanese spies operating outside Bengbu.
Duanwu and Zhou Weiguo left at night, and the spies' dens were all taken away, so people were in panic, so no spies noticed that Duanwu and Zhou Weiguo left with their people at that time. What's more, the spies sneaked into the city again that day.
At that time, everything was normal in Bengbu City, and the Dragon Boat Festival troops and the soldiers of the 522nd Regiment were still patrolling, training, etc. in the city.
Therefore, they believed that Zhou Weiguo and Duanwu were still in Bengbu.
It was not until the large troops left that the Japanese spies realized there was a problem and quickly reported it to the headquarters.
After receiving the news, Matsui Iwane immediately convened an emergency military meeting.
Because based on past experience, such a mobilization of troops during the Dragon Boat Festival must be a big move.
Matsui Iwane asked the thirty or so combat staff in front of him: "You are all top students at the Imperial Army University. Now the intelligence department has sent back the news that in addition to the Dragon Boat Festival's first unit, the Zhou Weiguo Department of the 522nd Regiment, there are fifty
A regiment of the First Army disappeared mysteriously. Where do you think they went?"
One of the staff officers said: "Your Excellency, I think Duanwu is cunning and cunning. The sudden disappearance of his troops this time must be extraordinary."
"Ozawa-kun is right, so right!"
Others echoed, and some even applauded Ozawa.
Matsui Iwane's nose crooked in anger, and he thought to himself: I need you to tell me? I know damn well that there is a purpose, but what is the key purpose? And where did these troops go?
But at this time, Matsui Iwane could not block the flow of speech, otherwise when he cursed his mother, other staff members would not dare to speak. So he could only say patiently: "Ozawa-kun said it very well, he opened one for us."
Hello, how about you? You can all express your own opinions and express your opinions."
"Your Excellency, I think that during the Dragon Boat Festival, it is very likely that our pursuers will be beaten."
At this moment, a more understanding staff officer finally spoke up.
