The first tactic of the Dragon Boat Festival is to be quick, to resolve the battle quickly, and to retreat quickly without any delay. The second one is ferocious. After the battle begins, it is like a scourge, directly devouring one's enemies without giving them any chance.
The slightest chance to counterattack.
However, the enemy is defending according to the danger and has stabilized the situation, so Duanwu will choose to retreat without hesitation.
Dragon Boat Festival will not fight with his enemies in a certain battle.
Because the enemy has already established a firm foothold, any further attack will only increase casualties.
In other words, the Dragon Boat Festival has taken mobile warfare to the extreme, destroying enemies in motion.
But at this time, it was obvious that there was no need to retreat, because the emergence of anti-aircraft cannons had shattered the last morale of the Japanese and puppet troops. They fled in panic and did not choose their way. They were just like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
How could he miss this opportunity during the Dragon Boat Festival? If he could directly annihilate the Kunisaki detachment, then he would not have to escape anymore. Even if they stood dancing on Feiyun Ridge, the Japanese and puppet pursuing troops on the Western Front would not dare to come in again.
But that Momotaro was not a fool. When he discovered that the Kunisaki detachment was under attack, he quickly mobilized troops for reinforcements.
As a result, the fled Kunisaki detachment gained a firm foothold.
Duanwu used his binoculars to find that the Japanese and puppet troops were building a defense line on the spot. If they continued to attack, their side might suffer heavy losses, so he immediately fired three green signal bombs in succession.
This is a signal to retreat quickly. All soldiers of the Supervisory Corps who are pursuing the fight against the Japanese and puppet troops must retreat immediately when they see the three green signal bombs rising into the sky, no matter how big their own advantage is.
Because the time to retreat on the battlefield is fleeting, it is very likely that you may have had the advantage one second, but the next second you will be trapped in a tight siege.
What's more, it is the rule in the Supervisory Corps to enforce orders and prohibitions, and Zhu Shengzhong, the only one who doesn't understand the rules, was kicked dozens of times during the Dragon Boat Festival.
So the battalion commander was kicked, not to mention them?
What's more, the group is doing this for their own good.
So at the moment when three signal bombs were launched into the air, the entire command team retreated.
Of course, the little devil also saw the green flare that flew into the air and exploded. Kudo Shinichi, Nikaidou Konan, and Daigaido Minami, who had suffered huge losses, knew very well that this was the enemy's retreat signal and immediately ordered a pursuit.
But in the next second, streaks of light struck, and the anti-aircraft cannon once again taught the little devil a lesson.
This high-speed machine gun is simply killing gods and killing gods, sweeping across the battlefield. Even if the little devil hides behind the tree, it is useless. After one shot, a hole will appear between the man and the tree almost at the same time.
Several Japanese soldiers were even hit by a cannonball, and their bodies were all broken into pieces and died.
It can be said that this kind of weapon is absolutely a disaster when it is manufactured. It is also a disaster for infantry. If it touches it, it will die, and if it touches it, it will die.
The little devil was beaten to the point of losing his temper in just an instant. He lay on the ground. How could any devil dare to charge?
Seeing this, Kudo Shinichi, Nikaidou Konan, and Daigado Minami had no choice.
Because even they didn't dare to risk the enemy's machine gun fire and charge at this time. That was completely seeking death.
So, within five minutes of the machine gun stopping firing, no one dared to get up again.
However, at this moment, there was a loud explosion, and at the moment when the flames started to rise, all the Japs understood that their enemy was gone, and that the big killer weapon just now had been blown up by the opponent.
Of course, there was nothing Duanwu could do. If these machine guns still had ammunition, he would definitely find a way to take them away.
However, not only did the machine gun have no ammunition, but it was also not very convenient to carry. So after using the machine gun to prevent the enemy from pursuing it, Duanwu quickly blew it up.
Also blown up along with it were several mountain cannons.
This is also to reduce the burden on the supply camp and to bring in more wounded people.
As the number of battles continues to increase, the number of wounded is also increasing rapidly.
The increase in the number of wounded will slow down the marching speed of the supervision team.
But at this time, what the Dragon Boat Festival needs is speed.
Although the Dragon Boat Festival battle had severely damaged the Kunisaki detachment, the Kunisaki detachment had not completely lost its combat effectiveness. And coupled with the Momotaro mixed brigade that arrived later, the Dragon Boat Festival continued to fight in Feiyun Ridge. It cannot be said that there was no chance of winning.
But the Dragon Boat Festival cannot be delayed.
Once he is bitten by the enemy, the Japanese army will roll over like a snowball to surround him in the Feiyun Ridge area.
But Feiyunling is not as good as Mount Tai. Mount Tai is vast, and entering Mount Tai during the Dragon Boat Festival has enough strategic depth.
But what about Feiyun Ridge? It’s only a little over fifty kilometers in total. The little Japanese can definitely use the large army to grate Feiyun Ridge like a grate.
So after Duanwu blew up some of the heavy weapons, he quickly left with his troops. On the contrary, although the little devils felt that the supervision team should have retreated, they really didn't dare to pursue it like before.
Because just now, the Kunisaki detachment suffered huge losses, at least more than a thousand Japanese and puppet troops were killed in the battle.
Kudo Shinichi, Nikaidou Konan, and Daigatou Minamikawa were in tears. They were the iron triangle known as the Kunisaki Detachment. They had no defeat since entering China, and were trusted by the old guys from Kunisaki.
And this time, the command of the army was completely handed over to three people. But what was the result? The army suffered heavy casualties, and nearly half of its strength was lost in just one night.
Therefore, it is undeniable that after today, I am afraid that Kudo Shinichi, Nikaidou Konan, and Daigatou Minamikawa will be demoted.
Of course, Momotaro was also horrified. As the best commander of the younger generation of the Japanese army, even he did not understand the opponent's tactics very well.
Everything happened too suddenly and too fast. He had only seen such a fast-paced battle in his life.
And he once asked himself, if he encountered such a rapid battle, whether his troops would be like the Kunisaki detachment.
The answer is yes, because there is no time to react at all. Moreover, the enemy's firepower is too fierce, and the mountains and fields are filled with the sound of machine guns, heavy machine guns, and machine guns.
If they were judged solely by the sound of gunfire, I'm afraid the opponent would have several divisions ambushing them.
"Baga, why is the firepower of the supervision team so fierce?"
Momotaro was puzzled, because even the elite of the Japanese army would probably not be equipped with so many machine guns and heavy machine guns. As for machine guns for anti-aircraft, there was no need to think about it.
But the supervisory corps not only has such superior machine gun firepower, but also has at least more than a hundred artillery pieces of various types.
So when facing such a terrifying force, even Momotaro would feel very powerless, just like the Chinese troops faced them after they entered China. That is simply impossible to erase, and there is a huge gap in weapons and equipment.
.
Then, Momotaro suddenly came up with an idea: if the Imperial Japanese Army all replaced automatic weapons, would it greatly shorten the time it took them to conquer the giant dragon of China?
