"Report to the group, the little devils have regrouped and are chasing us again."
Just when Duanwu was about to find the little devil to buy equipment, the little devil came to his door again.
Duanwu nodded and smiled: "Check the weapons and equipment and prepare for battle."
"yes!"
Zhao Weidong responded and quickly passed on the order.
The troops quickly dispersed, waiting for the little devil to get in by himself.
Most of the Japanese 10th Division and 40th Regiment were new recruits, and their commanders had just been transferred. They were not used to fighting the Dragon Boat Festival, so after repelling the Dragon Boat Festival, they gathered again and the end came.
Of course, they thought they had just repelled the Dragon Boat Festival, but little did they know that the Dragon Boat Festival just retreated temporarily when they saw that there was no profit to be gained.
Moreover, the little devils simply thought that their enemy had escaped. After chasing for two kilometers and seeing no movement, they became bolder again.
However, why did the Japanese 40th Regiment insist on holding on to the Dragon Boat Festival?
The reason is very simple, it was Kitashirakawarai's order. But Kitashirakawarai's order was to ambush Dragon Boat Festival and annihilate Dragon Boat Festival and the reinforcements rushing to Bengbu in one fell swoop. However, the Japanese commander not only failed to ambush successfully, but also let Dragon Boat Festival run away.
And who exactly is Kitashirakawa? In the eyes of the Japanese, he is a devil. As long as he is slightly displeased, his life will be in danger. What's more, if an infantry regiment fails to ambush, the commander will die without thinking.
Going to move.
So it makes sense why, after encountering successive setbacks, the Japs still pursued them, even though they knew that it was very difficult for the infantry to catch up with the cavalry.
Because if they can't catch the Dragon Boat Festival, they will die, so they can only take a gamble.
It's a pity that they don't understand Duanwu's fighting style. Duanwu will not keep running away, and the Japanese who pursue him will not have a good end. As long as he sees the opportunity correctly, Duanwu will bite the little Japanese until he is killed.
Duanwu and Zhao Weidong still divided their forces into two groups to ambush the Japanese.
This is common sense for ambushing the enemy, because if you ambush along one direction of the road, the Japanese will rely on the other side of the road to launch a counterattack.
Once the Japanese counterattack, the Chinese troops responsible for the ambush will definitely suffer a great loss.
Because you can imagine that in an ambush, especially when there is insufficient firepower, the Japanese will suffer losses, but they will not lose all, and then rely on the road to launch a counterattack, which forms a positional battle.
But what the little Japs are least afraid of is fighting in positional warfare. First, they have special training and know how to fight in positional warfare, and how to fight with minimal losses. And secondly, the Japs’ shooting skills and 38-type rifles
of accuracy.
In addition, the Japs have heavy firepower support, so it is simply impossible for Chinese soldiers to gain advantages in positional warfare.
Therefore, in a conventional ambush, ambushes must be ambushed on both sides of the road. Once the ambush begins, crossfire will form from two directions, making it impossible for the Japanese to hide.
Moreover, this kind of ambush is always tried and true. Even if the kid knows everything, once he encounters such an ambush, he can only retreat to save his life.
So in the next second, Dragon Boat Festival taught the Japanese another lesson. The moment a red signal flare took off, the ambush soldiers on the left and right fired almost simultaneously, cutting off the Japanese's pursuit force by one third.
In other words, this time is different from the last ambush.
After being ambushed by the Japanese at Duanwu, he backhandedly ambushed the Japanese again. That time, Duanwu only attacked his forward troops, causing the Japanese to lose nearly a squadron.
But at that time, the Dragon Boat Festival quickly retreated because they did not know the specific number of Japs and were afraid that the Japs might have an ambush and surrounded the cavalry camp.
So Duanwu quickly retreated to distance himself, and sent out scouts to investigate the specific number of enemies, as well as their weapons and equipment.
Afterwards, the scouts came back and reported that judging from the enemy's configuration, there should be two brigades, and it seemed that they were not full.
But it is still not clear which army is the Japanese army.
But this is enough for Dragon Boat Festival. With less than two brigades of troops, although he can't eat one bite, he can eat one-third of him. And if the Japanese are stupid enough, it is possible to eat half of him.
.
Therefore, Duanwu made a bold decision to cut off the Japanese at seven inches, and with lightning speed, he directly stunned the little Japanese, causing their brains to short-circuit and unable to make correct judgments.
They even mistakenly thought it was the arrival of large Chinese troops.
And sure enough, after encountering the sudden attack, the Japanese became frightened. They even forgot the counterattack strategies they had used in training and how to deal with the unexpected situation of an ambush.
They ran around. The Japs in front wanted to retreat, but the Japs behind wanted to rush over. As a result, the Japs collided with each other, and no one had a chance to escape.
The Japanese fell to the ground one by one, letting out shrill screams.
Such screams in the hazy night were frightening to hear.
The same goes for the little devil's commander. He shrank his neck and bowed his body, for fear that a stray bullet would identify its owner and make a hole in his head.
He carefully drew out his sword, and then boldly ordered his men to rescue people in a loud voice.
But at this time, the old devil himself did not move, because if you rush forward when the enemy's situation is unknown, there is a high probability that you will not be able to come back.
Of course, the Japanese commander also understands this, but it is just like gambling, once you get into it, it is difficult to quit.
The same goes for the Japanese commander at this time. After losing one after another, he wanted to win too much. So even though he knew that the losses might be further expanded, he still ordered the Japanese soldiers to rush forward desperately.
But this is in conflict with the battle plan formulated by Duanwu.
The Dragon Boat Festival battle plan was to cut off one-third of the Japanese marching team, making the Japanese mistakenly believe that they were attacked by the main Chinese force, and then quickly retreated, abandoning the forward troops.
But he didn't expect the enemy to lose his sight, so he ordered the enemy to charge into the woods regardless of the cost.
At this time of the Dragon Boat Festival, I didn't want to fight hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese.
First, his cavalry battalion has just been formed, and the training of the troops is not yet complete. What's more, they have few spears, and even if they have sabers, they will not have an advantage in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese.
Because the Little Devil's Type 38 rifle is too long, just like a spear. This is why the Little Devil has an advantage in hand-to-hand combat.
Secondly, not only did the little devils have an advantage in weapons, but their unique stabbing skills were beyond the reach of the cavalry battalion at this time.
In addition, the Japanese had a sufficient numerical advantage, so once the two sides started a hand-to-hand battle, there was only one result, and that was that the cavalry battalion would suffer heavy losses.
Seeing this, Dragon Boat Festival didn't even think about it. A green signal flare was fired, and the cavalry battalion quickly left the battle without any delay.
Dragon Boat Festival never dwells on it. My battle plan has been formulated and must be completed. That is stupid. If the battle situation turns unfavorable and still stick to the old rules, it will definitely kill not only one person or a few people.
For example, if the cavalry battalion in the Dragon Boat Festival started a hand-to-hand battle with the Japanese now, the only thing waiting for the Dragon Boat Festival would be "heavy losses"!
