Yoshino had just escaped the Dragon Boat Festival bombardment with forty or fifty little Japs, but not long after they walked out, they were attacked again.
A group of people rushed out from their flanks and fired shots at random, catching Yoshino and other little Japs off guard.
More than ten Japanese soldiers were killed in an instant. They shot them twice symbolically and then fled.
They were now so frightened that they didn't even see clearly who their enemy was, so they changed directions and continued running.
The other party chased after him, pointing his machine gun at the enemy's buttocks and shooting at him.
More than a dozen Japanese who were running slowly received their lunch boxes one after another, but less than ten of them were able to escape.
At this moment, Zhao Weidong came out of the woods with about thirty people. It turned out that he was the one pretending to be a scout. They went around behind the little devil to beat up the drowned dog.
But Duanwu told me, we can't kill all the Japanese, we have to leave a few alive for them to go back and report the news. Otherwise, none of these little Japanese will be able to escape, and they all have to explain here today.
"Let's go and pick up the kid's equipment, and then go back and resume his life."
Zhao Weidong ordered, but at this time, a soldier said in confusion: "Yingzuo, what does this Tuanzuo mean? This little devil is obviously a piece of meat in our bowl, why is he not allowed to eat?"
"
Zhao Weidong thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "We can't guess what the group members are thinking, so we just have to obey your orders."
The soldier said: "Yes, many of the regiment's tactics may not seem to make sense at all, but they often have miraculous effects in winning unexpectedly."
Zhao Weidong chuckled and said: "I know you still ask? Pick up the little devil's weapons and equipment, let's go back and recover!"
After that, Zhao Weidong and his men picked up all the Japs' weapons and ammunition, and then rode back to resume their lives.
At this time, Dragon Boat Festival was ordering the artillerymen to hang the cannon back on the back of the truck, and the unfired shells were also repacked and placed on the truck.
The team was about to set off, but at this moment, Zhao Weidong and others came back.
Zhao Weidong asked the soldiers to take off the weapons and equipment from their horses and put them in the car. Then he came to see the Dragon Boat Festival.
Zhao Weidong rode up to Duanwu and said, "Tuan Zuo, according to your instructions, seven or eight Japanese were let go, and we took care of the rest."
Duanwu nodded and said: "Very good, let them go back to report the news, and we will chase them at a constant speed, which will not only make the little devils feel nervous, but also allow them to run away."
Zhao Weidong smiled naively and said: "Tuanzuo, what do you mean by this? Why should we let a few go when we can obviously get rid of all these devils?"
Wang Tong also said at this time: "Yes, Commissioner, logically speaking, this group of Japs is spying on us. We should surround and annihilate them and not let anyone escape back. Is this the best policy?"
Duanwu glanced at Zhao Weidong and Wang Tong, but he didn't want to say that Wang Tong was still an outsider. If he didn't explain, Wang Tong would probably say that he was aloof.
Thinking of this, Duan Wu could only say: "These Japs from Bengbu were transferred from the mainland of Japan. They are the elites of the Japanese First Division. Together with the Japs Prince Kitashirakawa, they came to China with great arrogance.
, and captured an empty city in Bengbu.
Their morale is very high, and they do not take us Chinese soldiers seriously.
This is not good for us. Fighting is all about morale. If our enemy's morale is high, then it will be difficult for us to fight this battle.
Therefore, we need to weaken the morale of the little devils so that when they hear my name during the Dragon Boat Festival, they will feel chills on the back of their necks. In this way, fear will spread among the little devils' army and crush their samurai spirit.
Without this spirit, they little devils are no different from those stragglers. They are just a group of bandits.
So don’t look at the little devil occupying Bengbu, it’s useless. Bengbu, he will spit it out to us sooner or later.”
"oh oh!"
Wang Tong and Zhao Weidong suddenly realized. They finally understood the intention of the group. It turned out to be to lower the morale of the little Japanese.
And if you think about it carefully, this is really the case. The Japs came from the mainland and occupied Bengbu, where morale was at its peak.
But at this moment, they drove the Japs back like dogs. The Japs then told their miserable experiences to other Japs. What else could the Japs do?
Thinking of this, Wang Tong and Zhao Weidong both admired him very much and thought to themselves: He is indeed a Chinese lunatic who scares the Japanese. A casual plan can be fatal.
The two people couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and Duanwu smiled and said: "Let's go, let's go to Bengbu to join the brothers from the Sichuan Army."
"yes!"
Wang Tong and Zhao Weidong responded at the same time, then gathered their troops and set off towards Bengbu again.
The cavalry was in front, the infantry was behind, and a small team from the cavalry battalion not only explored the way in front, but also made a move to pursue the escaped Japanese Yoshino and other Japanese.
When Yoshino saw the cavalry, he was so frightened that he led his men into the woods again.
They panicked and entered the bush full of thorns.
His hands, neck, including his face and ankles were all cut by thorns, and they were bleeding profusely.
But running for their lives was the most important thing at this time, and they couldn't care less. They ran all the way, almost vomiting blood, and finally spent nearly two hours running back to Bengbu.
The city gate of Bengbu was closed at this time, because Kitashirakawa had received the news from Yoshino before. Duanwu had already taken action, leading a large group of troops to go straight to Bengbu. But what about Yoshino? He wanted to ambush Duanwu halfway.
After reading the telegram, Kitashirakawa scolded Yoshino for being stupid enough to go on his own to ambush Dano?
He quickly used electricity to stop it, but it was already a step too late. Yoshino was running away at that time, and even the communications trooper was killed.
Therefore, Kitashirakawarai could not contact Yoshino at all. He could only take precautions in Bengbu City.
Additional manpower has been deployed on the city walls, including sentries at the city gates. From the previous six men per city gate, the number has been increased to ten today, and a machine gun has been added to each city gate.
The air in Bengbu suddenly became tense, including the Japanese soldiers guarding the city. Moreover, they had heard of cases where the Dragon Boat Festival makeup was used to infiltrate the imperial army, so they were particularly concerned about the defeated soldiers wearing imperial army uniforms.
Of course, they didn't shoot when they saw a few Japs running back in a panic, but instead asked for their identities.
Yoshino said angrily: "It's me, Captain Yoshino of the First Infantry Brigade. I went out through this gate. Don't you recognize me?"
The people guarding the city have long been changed, but the Japanese in charge of guarding the city is also from the First Battalion, and after a closer look, he is not Captain Yoshino? It's just that it's so miserable at this time, not only is he covered in black ash, but also
There was blood everywhere on his face, neck, hands, and wrists.
The same goes for the Japanese soldiers behind him. They saw that they were defeated, and they returned in a great defeat.
This was quite a shock to the Japs guarding the city, because no one dared to underestimate Captain Yoshino of Ito's First Battalion. This man was their instructor back then. He not only had excellent military skills, but also had rich combat experience. He was very close to the Russians.
Everyone has fought in wars.
So when they saw this, the Japanese soldiers in the city hurriedly went down to the city and opened the door to Yoshino, asking their instructor Yoshino to enter the city!
