Doihara spent a lot of money on this plan to lure the enemy. Not only did he bet his entire 14th Division, but he also ambush Sakurako from the Special High School in Xintai County early.
The Special High School Section has been monitoring Li Yunlong's second column of desperate troops.
Of course, it's not just the special high school, but also the scouts of the Japanese 14th Division and so on.
But is Li Yunlong really that stupid? Let the little devil spy on him?
Li Yunlong had actually known for a long time that there was a Japs spying on him. But at this time, there was no news about Brother Duanwu, or in other words, Brother Duanwu hadn't taken action yet, so he was not in a hurry at all.
This old gentleman burped after eating in Xintai County, and then swaggered back to his station.
He wanted to see if there was any good news about his Dragon Boat Festival brothers.
···············
At the same time, Duanwu had already reunited with Shangguan Zhibiao and others.
Shangguan Zhibiao and the large army are now less than 20 kilometers away from Xintai County.
They were resting in a dense jungle in order to prepare for possible enemy air raids.
The little devil has never been stingy with bombs for the supervision corps. If he could completely eliminate the supervision corps, I am afraid that the little devil would not hesitate to use up all his aerial bombs.
But it is a pity that the Supervisory Corps has never given the little devil this chance. Even if the little Jaap knows that the Supervisory Corps in the Dragon Boat Festival is on Wanjialing and bombs twice a day, most of them return without success.
The first point is that the Japs' bombers dare not fly low, which greatly reduces the accuracy of bombing. The second is that the air defense of the Supervisory Corps is good. Once the Japs' planes arrive, sentries will ring the bell to warn. At this time
, all the soldiers, including the folks in Wanjialing, will quickly escape danger. Even if the Japs blow up some houses, as long as the people are fine, the houses will be rebuilt.
The little devil also tried throwing incendiary bombs, but the damage was about the same as that of aerial bombs.
Incendiary bombs can burn some houses and trees, but the burning speed is not very fast. In order to deal with the incendiary bombs of the Japs, the Dragon Boat Festival ordered the soldiers and villagers to cover the roof with some mud, or smear mud on the outside of the wooden house.
This makes it flame retardant.
Therefore, in the past half month, although the bombing by the Japanese was fierce, it did not cause any substantial damage.
However, the report from the Little Devils' Luhang Brigade said that the supervision team on Wanjialing had been severely damaged.
But Doihara didn't believe it at all, and he wanted to cut off the roots of Dragon Boat Festival. He had another purpose in luring Dragon Boat Festival out of Wanjialing, and that was Wanjialing.
The terrain of Wanjialing is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and Doihara has already learned this. So after dispatching the main force of the Dragon Boat Festival this time, Momotaro, an infantry brigade and a reorganized regiment of the Imperial Association Army quietly went back.
When Doihara was encircling and annihilating the main force of the Supervisory Corps, he made a surprise attack on Wanjialing.
Originally, Momotaro's troops and a regiment of the Fourth Division were preparing to encircle Li Zhongren's troops in the fifth theater in the southwest direction.
However, Doihara proposed a new battle plan, and the headquarters of the Japanese Second Army believed that Momotaro's ability to force the Dragon Boat Festival back was enough to demonstrate his strength, so they asked him to lead an infantry brigade, including a member of the Imperial Association Army.
Reorganize the regiment and obey Doihara's orders.
Momotaro naturally did not dare to complain about this. After all, this was the order of his most respected senior, Lord Doihara.
It's a pity that the infantry regiment of the Fourth Division has more important tasks to do, otherwise it would be a piece of cake to capture Wanjialing.
Of course, Momotaro would never imagine that the Fourth Division had anything important to do and was simply hiding. They did not want to be cannon fodder for Momotaro.
So Matsuyama directly sent a message to the commander of the Fourth Division to report his dangerous situation at this moment.
The division commander directly ordered him to retreat to assist other members of the Fourth Division in stabilizing local security. He said that the Fourth Division had been attacked by resistance elements. In order to consolidate the rear security in the areas occupied by the Empire of Japan, the Fourth Division
An unprecedented sweep is to be carried out.
Of course, this is just a joke, no matter where someone attacks them, it is entirely their own directing and acting, they just don’t want to die.
But Momotaro didn't know that he really had more important things to do as a member of the Fourth Division.
So he took his people and after confirming that the Dragon Boat Festival supervision team had left the territory of Mount Tai, he took a small road and went straight to Wanjialing.
But at this time, Duanwu didn't expect that the little Japanese had such skills. Although when he left, he left behind a cavalry battalion, a machine gun company, White Snake, Leng Xiumei, Hou Junbao and others.
But its total strength will never exceed 800 people.
As for the little devils and the Imperial Alliance Army, there are at least more than 2,500 people, which is three times the strength of Wanjialing.
But at this time, Duanwu didn't know about this, and all his attention was on Xintai County.
This is a trap set by the little devil, but Duanwu has to enter this trap to complete his big plan.
If he succeeds, he can get out of his current predicament.
What's more, arrangements had been made for the Wanjialing Dragon Boat Festival, so he stopped thinking about Wanjialing and instead planned a night attack plan in Xintai County.
Previously, Duanwu originally planned to sneak into Xintai County during the day, seize the city gate and catch the Japs off guard.
However, considering that the Japs had originally set a trap in Xintai County, they were bound to take precautions, so Duanwu decided to launch a night attack.
Even if the little devil takes precautions, the night attack will catch the opponent by surprise.
Moreover, there is another advantage of operating at night, that is, there are fewer pedestrians on the streets. This can prevent ordinary people from being affected by the central government.
Of course, the most important point is that they are now more than 20 kilometers away from Xintai County. Even if the little devil noticed his current location, he would never have thought that during the last 20 kilometers, the Dragon Boat Festival would march directly to
Xintai County, and there is no warning.
According to common sense, if you want to attack a county town, you must conduct multiple investigations and arrange for people to enter the city in advance, and the inside and outside should be coordinated.
But for the Dragon Boat Festival, these are not needed at all.
Because the horses are safe during the Dragon Boat Festival and the underground party is there, all the troubles are saved.
Although Duanwu did not enter the city, he already understood the deployment of the Japanese troops in the city. And as long as his troops entered the city, there would be underground party members to guide him.
Therefore, when the Dragon Boat Festival troops enter the city, they definitely don’t have to worry about unfamiliar road conditions.
And he doesn't have to worry about the location of the little devil's arsenal.
But at this time, Duanwu was a little worried. When he attacked Xintai County, the little Japs would go crazy and detonate all the weapons and ammunition in the general arsenal in the city. Duanwu had to guard against this!
