"These little devils are too arrogant. When they see us having breakfast together, are you really not afraid that we will kill them?"
Ma Ping'an sneered when he saw the little devils eating together.
Although he is not very good at commanding and fighting, isn't it too arrogant to eat in front of the enemy like this?
Duanwu shook his head and said: "They are not weak or stupid at all. On the contrary, they are much smarter than other Japanese devils. They know that even if they win this war, they will get nothing. The benefits belong to those in power. And
They are just pawns used by those in power to gain profits.
They don’t want to be pawns, so they are avoiding the war in their own way. So as long as they don’t attack us, we won’t move either. Because starting a war here now is not good for us.”
Speaking of this, Duanwu said to the guards behind him: "Go and order the baggage troops. When the first battalion passed, they quickly carried weapons and ammunition across the enemy's line of fire. Tell them not to panic when they see the Japs. As long as the Japs don't move, they will be safe."
Let them pretend they didn’t see it at all.”
"yes!"
The guard took the order and immediately went to deliver the order.
As time was short, the baggage battalion took the baggage around the racecourse and headed east to follow the first battalion.
Then there are the second battalion, the first battalion, the fourth battalion, and the third battalion.
The third battalion was responsible for finally blowing up the truck and the abandoned heavy artillery.
Boom!
A moment later, a huge mushroom cloud suddenly rose in the northwest direction of the racecourse. The frightened little devils in the racecourse took their guns and pointed them in the northwest direction.
But no one of them left the camp, they just made a defensive posture.
At this moment, Colonel Matsuyama woke up in a daze. He cursed and said, "Baga, what are you doing? I didn't go to bed until 12 o'clock yesterday. I was so sleepy."
"Reporting to Mr. Songshan, a violent explosion occurred in the northwest. The cause is currently unknown."
At this moment, a Japanese officer came to report.
Matsuyama narrowed his eyes and said, "Are there any enemies coming?"
The officer thought for a while and said: "Someone reported before that they found a lot of Chinese troops bypassing the north side of the racecourse. According to intelligence speculation, these people should be the Supervisory Team of the Dragon Boat Festival."
"Nani?"
Songshan was surprised because he remembered that he was ordered to come to the racecourse just to block the way into Mount Tai during the Dragon Boat Festival.
"This is not going to be easy. Our mission is to prevent the supervision team from entering Mount Tai. But now the supervision team has escaped. What should we do?"
Matsuyama seemed to be talking to himself, or asking his officers.
Naturally, the officer didn't want to fight, let alone supervise the corps.
So he quickly replied: "Your Excellency, our mission should be to station at the racecourse to block the supervision team that may flee eastward.
But we are currently stationed at the racecourse, and we are well prepared. But we did not expect that the enemy was very cunning, and even bypassed it from the northeast of the racecourse. Therefore, we carried out the order, but the enemy was too cunning."
"Shao Kar, you are really a smart person. Hahaha, I will report it to the superiors in a while. It is best to add some vocabulary descriptions of our heroic battles. Hahaha!"
Matsuyama laughed, but the Japanese officer was a little embarrassed at this time, because they didn't even fire a shot. Is this a good photo?
However, at this moment, some Japanese soldiers came to report in a panic: "Your Excellency, we observed through telescopes from a long distance that about one kilometer northwest of the racecourse, the Chinese blew up a large number of trucks, and also
There are heavy artillery. And the explosion just now came from there."
"Hahaha!"
Hearing this, Matsuyama laughed again and said to the Japanese around him: "Did you see? Amaterasu is helping us. First, go see if all the Chinese are gone, and then send people to kill those who were bombed."
The destroyed wreckage was brought back, and an infantry brigade was sent over to fire a few more shots to make the fighting more intense.
Then we told the superiors that we destroyed the enemy’s transport convoy, including the heavy artillery of the Supervision Corps. Today’s Supervision Corps is like a tiger with its teeth pulled out. Hahaha!”
"Hi!"
The Japanese officers bowed and saluted with joy on their faces, because it was obvious that not only could they do their job, but their superiors might also reward them for their bravery!
So just a moment later, Juichi Terauchi at the headquarters of the Japanese Second Army received good news from the Fourth Division.
The victory report read: The Songshan Regiment of the Fourth Division of the Japanese Army fulfilled its mission and severely damaged the Supervision Corps at the racecourse, blowing up nearly a hundred of its transport trucks (Matsuyama exaggerated, in fact, there were only more than 60 transport trucks in the Supervision Corps).
Destroyed more than fifty heavy artillery pieces of the Supervision Corps (Matsuyama is exaggerating here, the Supervision Corps has always used mortars the most, and even heavy artillery rarely exceeds 100 mm caliber, so the actual number of more than fifty pieces is
Less than twenty).
Therefore, Songshan was very skilled in reporting, and the headquarters would not send anyone to verify it anyway.
And even if someone is sent to verify, the debris after the explosion is enough to explain everything.
But maybe what even Matsuyama didn't expect was that Touichi Terauchi believed it. Even though it didn't say how many enemy troops were annihilated, but so many transport vehicles and heavy artillery were blown up, could the casualties of the supervision corps be less?
Of course, the most important thing is that Juichi Terauchi has had enough with the recent news of defeats and battle losses.
So when he received such a good news, he instinctively believed that it was true. Otherwise, the Imperial Army of the Empire of Japan was too weak, right? If he sent a team of people, the whole army would be wiped out, if he sent a team of people, the whole army would be wiped out.
Heavy losses? Could it be that the Imperial Japanese Army was all paper?
But now, what he finally saw was not the annihilation of the entire army, or heavy losses, but the destruction of almost all the baggage of the Supervisory Corps at once, and the coordinates for Lu Hang's bombing.
However, it was the Japanese reconnaissance plane that took off first. After Touichi Terauchi determined the exact location of the Dragon Boat Festival, he sent bombers to conduct an aerial attack on the supervision team.
In the eyes of Juichi Terauchi, the supervision team of the Dragon Boat Festival has become a serious problem for him.
Before, he was still laughing at the Shanghai Expeditionary Army as a bunch of losers who couldn't even defeat a small Dragon Boat Festival.
But now it seems that maybe what he thought was too simple. This Dragon Boat Festival is indeed not as easy to deal with as imagined. He must go all out to kill it within the territory of Mount Tai.
However, Mount Tai is too big and the terrain is complex, which gives the temple a headache.
But there was nothing he could do about it. Duan Wu had already fled into Mount Tai, and he could only change his tactics. While guarding against sneak attacks by the Supervision Corps, he stepped closer to Xuzhou, hoping to capture the Supervision Corps in one fell swoop when it was suppressed.
