The power of the explosion was huge, because the soldiers ignited ten kilograms of TNT, and its explosion power was enough to blow a private house directly into the sky, let alone dozens of little Japs.
So this explosion killed nearly thirty Japanese soldiers, and at least a dozen were injured.
A reconnaissance team of the Little Japanese was almost wiped out.
The Japanese officer was at the end of the entire team. Fortunately, he survived and retreated in embarrassment with the remaining troops.
Of course, the little devils did not give up the attack, but because the damage was too great, they went back to report to Captain Ito that they encountered a tenacious resistance from the Chinese troops in Liutaizi Village, and I am afraid that Miss Tang Jiujiu, whom they wanted to arrest,
Just inside Liutaizi Village.
Ito was very satisfied after hearing the report.
He brought a large force with him on this trip to capture Tang Jiujiu. He also issued a military order in front of Kitashirakawa Xi. If Tang Jiujiu could not be captured, then he would commit hara-kiri to express gratitude to the emperor.
Of course, Ito actually didn't want to say that, because who would want to die if he could live? What's more, Ito will soon be promoted to the rank of major general.
So he didn't want to die even more, and he didn't want to die in China.
He was sure that Duanwu had led his people to Laoye Ridge, and since there were no decent Chinese defenders near Liutaizi Village, capturing Duanwu's wife was a sure thing.
In order to avoid accidentally injuring Tang Jiujiu, Ito ordered that all women must be captured alive. All men can be killed.
So in addition to the frontal attack by the two infantry squadrons of the Ito regiment, the other two infantry squadrons surrounded them from the left and right, trying to trap everyone in Liu Taizi Village.
But during the Japanese movement, we discovered that the Chinese seemed to have been prepared for it, and many people, including the supply troops, had already gone very far.
Ito frowned and ordered the outflanking Japanese troops to march quickly to stop the baggage troops and Chinese people who had left the village, because he felt that Tang Jiujiu might have left early with the baggage troops of the Independent Regiment.
But little did he know that Tang Jiujiu had not left. Tang Jiujiu had always regarded herself as the leader's wife, and even though Lao Baopan kept calling her his wife, she never denied anything.
At this time, Duanwu was away, and Tang Jiujiu believed that it was his responsibility to lead the troops to resist the Japanese and cover the evacuation of the baggage troops.
So at this time, Tang Jiujiu did not leave, and was commanding the troops to divide into four groups according to Duanwu's order to harass the Japanese.
The Dragon Boat Festival's tactics were very effective. No matter how many groups the Japanese soldiers were divided into, whether they were outflanking the enemy from the left or right or attacking from the front, they made no progress.
His infantry squadrons outflanking him on the left and right were the first to encounter the attack.
The Japanese ignored it at first, because their mission was to quickly intersect, stop the independent regiment's baggage troops and capture the Dragon Boat Festival's wife.
But the troops that attacked the Japanese were two companies of nearly a hundred men.
If the Japs ignore them, they will keep chasing the Japs. If the Japs stop, then these people will retreat quickly.
The Japs wanted to divide their forces. Some of them would intercept these pesky harassing teams, while the other part of the Japs were ready to continue the pursuit.
But at this time, the troops that were harassing the Japs also immediately divided their forces, completely consumed by the little Japs.
The little devil was so angry that his teeth were itching, but there was nothing he could do. Because they would hit each other and run away, and if they ignored them, their enemies would chase them and beat them.
Although the opponent's marksmanship is not very good, he can't stand against a large number of people. Even if ten bullets kill one person, the little devil can't bear such a loss at all.
The outflanking troops on the left and right were blocked, and Ito also had a headache after receiving the report. He had never seen such tactics before, and even felt that the Chinese were too cunning to confront the Japanese Imperial Army head-on, so they would hide behind
Shooting cold shots from the side.
But Ito was experienced in combat after all, and after a short period of thinking, he decided to quickly annihilate the enemies blocking them.
Ito ordered the troops that crossed to the left and right to quickly encircle them, but they did not pursue the harassing troops, but instead seized the nearby commanding heights.
Because they control these commanding heights, no one of the Chinese troops who are surrounded can escape.
Ito had seen the battle between the Japanese army and the independent regiment's supply camp before. He felt that his enemies were not strong, and could be said to be very weak. It was just that they were as slippery as loaches, making it impossible for his imperial army to catch them.
.
Therefore, he changed his tactics and directly occupied the commanding heights of major intersections and encircled and blocked a five-kilometer radius.
He surrounded the Chinese army in this area, and then only needed to send out a squadron of imperial troops to end the battle.
For Ito, his opponent was simply too weak.
At the same time, Lao Abacus also became aware of the troops, and the little Japanese made a show of chasing them. However, when they were halfway through, they immediately changed their route and occupied the main intersection, which was obviously to trap them and beat them.
Although this old abacus doesn't know how to fight, he still has good eyesight after being with Duanwu for a long time.
He quickly found Tang Jiujiu and said, "Madam, the little devils are going to surround us and then annihilate us in one fell swoop. We must break out immediately and jump out of the enemy's encirclement, otherwise we won't be able to get out."
Tang Jiujiu had no idea, because she had seen either commanders or generals. She looked at the map and pointed, and then said: Let so-and-so army occupy this position. Let so-and-so army hold on, and so on. So she issued the order.
He's good at it, but he doesn't know how to fight.
However, Tang Jiujiu still pointed to the north intersection and said: "Quickly seize the commanding heights of the intersection and let's fight out."
"yes!"
Lao Abacus didn't have any idea at this time, so he could only respond, and then asked the first company commander to lead people to seize the Japanese position at the north crossing. The second company was responsible for covering at this time.
Because the little Japs were very fast, after completing the blockade, a squadron of Japs came in directly.
These little devils are extremely arrogant and do not take their enemies seriously at all.
But it is true that in front of them, apart from some wounded soldiers, they were soldiers from the baggage troops. There was a huge gap in strength between the two sides, and there was no comparison at all.
So precisely because of this, the Japanese came right in and went on a rampage.
If I saw such a Japs in the Dragon Boat Festival, I would probably laugh again. Because such proud Japs are the best to fight. If you dig a hole for him, he will jump in.
It's a pity that Dragon Boat Festival is not here at this time. There is only Tang Jiujiu, who has seen the world, and an old abacus who only knows how to manage accounts.
These two people are both outstanding in their respective fields. But they are not good at fighting with little devils.
Soon, the battle situation took a turn for the worse. The first company that went to attack the northern crossing was blocked and quickly retreated. The second company that was responsible for blocking also suffered heavy casualties in the Japanese attack. In just ten minutes, fifty soldiers
Several soldiers died heroically, and the Japs were still attacking fiercely. Seeing that the second company was defeated, it was only a matter of time before they retreated!
