Chapter 1563 The last chance for the Dragon Boat Festival!

"Report to the group, there is a call from Shancheng and they approve your plan. But they also said that this is the last time."
The signal soldier reported to Duanwu again, but Duanwu only waved his hand.
Danwu closed his eyes, his brain analyzed quickly, and he couldn't help but think of Doihara.
This old Japs was originally a senior Japs agent, and it couldn't be easier to play such a little trick to alienate people. That's why Shancheng was so determined.
"It seems that there are also spies of the Japs in the mountain city."
Duan Wu shook his head helplessly. He originally wanted to contact Zheng Yao to investigate first, but felt that this was inappropriate.
Zheng Yaoxian is a kite, and his position in the underground party is also very important. He cannot be exposed just because of this trivial matter. Even with his current status, he cannot be exposed.
The military commander and the central commander have no way to deal with Japanese spies, but they have many conspiracies and tricks to deal with their own people.
So about this matter, he should wait to talk to Ma Pingping when he has time!
Thinking of this, Duanwu stopped thinking about this matter and focused all his energy on Xintai County.
He is not as optimistic as Li Yunlong and Ma Pingan.
He thought this must be a trap set by the Japs.
The little devil knew that he was in Wanjialing, so why did he suddenly launch an attack on Taierzhuang? He also revealed that Xintai County had a weapons transfer station.
Because you can imagine how secretive the Japs weapons transfer station is. Even if Ma Pingan is capable enough, he won't be able to investigate it so easily, right?
And the most suspicious thing is its location, placed right next to the Dragon Boat Festival's mouth.
How could such a coincidence happen in this world?
So Duanwu was sure that this must be a trap.
But Duan Wu not only wants to jump into this trap, but also has a big plan of his own.
Duanwu smiled slyly, and then ordered the troops to set off tomorrow. Only White Snake, Leng Xiumei, Hou Junbao, Tang Jiujiu, Arou, and Chen Shusheng were left to look after the house. The rest followed Duanwu to fight and went straight to the Japanese arsenal in Xintai County.
At the same time, Li Yunlong also went back to make preparations. Although the combat effectiveness of his troops was indeed not very good, and they were all new recruits. But he, Lao Li, was the most qualified porter.
When you get back, go find someone who is strong. It doesn't matter if you bring a gun or not. Leave the fighting to Brother Duanwu. He went to buy a lot of donkey carts and prepared to move things to Xintai County.
Of course, if this desperate column is good at marksmanship, he still needs to be armed. Although he is just a porter, the baggage corps also needs to be able to protect itself, right?
So the old gentleman divided the army into two parts.
Five hundred people took nothing with them, pushing or driving carts quietly toward Xintai County.
The remaining more than 300 people were armed with live ammunition and the most advanced firepower equipment in the entire brigade as escorts.
He, Lao Li, had to leave first, otherwise the large army of the Dragon Boat Festival brothers would move quickly and everyone would arrive in Xintai County before others arrived. Wouldn't this delay things?
So Li Yunlong set off early, took a small road, and bypassed the little devil's blockade to set off first.
On the other hand, during the Dragon Boat Festival, we take people with us and set off early the next morning. And we are not in a rush.
Because Duanwu had already understood the Japs' plan in advance, the Japs would not suddenly transport all the weapons in Xintai County, not to mention that Ma Ping'an's underground party was watching.
But Duanwu wondered whether Ma Pingan's comrades had been exposed?
However, there is no need to worry. Even if Ma Pingan's comrades are exposed, the little devil will wait until he reaches Xintai County before taking action.
Therefore, there is no hurry at all during the Dragon Boat Festival. The Dragon Boat Festival decided to walk for two days to conserve energy for the one hundred kilometers journey.
Otherwise, according to Duanwu's fighting style, he would have reached the gates of Xintai County in just one and a half days.
Do you still remember the Japanese artillery brigade next to Chuzhou during the Dragon Boat Festival? It was more than 150 kilometers away, and he had already killed it in two days, and deceived the Japanese into leaving the city. He had all the Japanese artillery and a group of Japanese infantry.
A spoonful of it.
Therefore, what Dragon Boat Festival is best at is surprise attack and quick combat.
But this time, he was going to be uncharacteristic.
In addition to this, the combat troops will not be so tired, and it will allow Ma Ping'an to carefully investigate the actual situation of the little devils in each county, and even some towns, small villages, etc. near the county, and carefully draw cards.
Duanwu didn't believe it. The little Japanese wanted to plot against him, but he didn't send Japanese soldiers from various ministries to ambush him.
Duanwu guessed that the Japs must be near Xintai County, or relatively far away.
The purpose of the little devil was to deceive himself into leaving the mountain, and then after he captured Xintai County, he would quickly cut off his retreat and encircle him.
According to his current firepower configuration, even if he breaks out, the large army will suffer heavy losses.
This is what the little devil wants to see most.
Because the little devils have also noticed that the firepower of the Dragon Boat Festival troops is no longer as good as before.
And it was none other than Doihara who discovered this.
When Doihara left Wanjialing, he ambushed an infantry brigade in order to vent his anger by killing a few scouts who were supervising the brigade.
But unexpectedly, his plan was seen through by Duanwu. Duanwu sent two battalions to the foot of the mountain and caught the little Japanese by surprise.
The little Japanese ambush soldiers followed Doihara's order and quickly escaped after being attacked to join Doihara.
As a result, of an infantry brigade, less than one squadron of Japanese soldiers escaped.
However, this made Doihara aware of the lack of firepower and combat personnel of the supervision corps.
Because if the previous supervision team and this infantry brigade encountered a counter-ambush, it would be impossible for anyone to escape alive.
So Doihara made a bold assumption that in the previous battles, not only had a large number of soldiers been consumed by the Supervisory Corps, but also a large number of his advanced weapons and equipment.
For example, the anti-aircraft weapons of the Supervisory Corps were a huge headache for the little devils before.
But now? The imperial planes bombed Wanjialing indiscriminately, but no more losses were suffered.
And what is the reason?
It is precisely the supervision corps that lacks anti-aircraft weapons. The maximum range of ordinary machine guns and heavy machine guns is only about one or two kilometers.
And because of the elevation angle, the effective range will be greatly shortened.
So if bombers drop bombs at an altitude of two thousand meters, machine guns and heavy machine guns will have no effect on them.
Even so, the bomb's accuracy was much worse.
But what the empire is most indispensable for is aerial bombs.
Of course, this is bragging by the Japanese. With their little financial resources, they don’t even dare to use submachine guns as standard weapons. How dare they say that they have plenty of bombs?
But at least when it came to dealing with the Dragon Boat Festival, they were not stingy at all. They bombed twice a day and never stopped!
