Doihara was angry and wanted to kill everyone. But little did he know that the Japanese in Gangcheng Village had already died.
Perhaps Doihara never dreamed that more than 2,000 Japanese would be wiped out by just a few dozen people.
The gap in Gangcheng Village has been opened. Even if Doihara discovered this gap, it would not be able to block it in a short time.
So at around three o'clock in the morning the next day, Li Yunlong's decisive column and Lao Snoring's third battalion escorted a large number of weapons and equipment of the Japs and broke out from the direction of Gangcheng Village. Dragon Boat Festival led people to break out from the front, attracting
The kid's attention.
The baggage troops moved slowly, and there was nothing we could do about it.
If Duanwu and Li Yunlong break through the encirclement together, then Duanwu's supervision team and Li Yunlong's transportation brigade will be surrounded by the little devils in circles.
And by then, I'm afraid no one can leave.
Therefore, this move during the Dragon Boat Festival can be regarded as attacking in the east and attacking in the west, breaking out from the front and creating opportunities for Li Yunlong, Lao Snoring and others to leave.
Even if the little devil notices something, I'm afraid he won't be able to attack Li Yunlong and Lao Snor with all his strength, because they will use all their strength to surround and annihilate the Dragon Boat Festival.
This is the purpose of the little devil's battle, and as for losing some weapons and equipment, it is actually not that important.
There are only a few thousand guns. If there is no good commander to command them, what is the use of having so many weapons?
Therefore, Duanwu was sure that the Japs would come after him and let Li Yunlong and others go.
What he wants is this effect. Only by letting all the little devils come towards him can he complete his long-planned plan.
At the same time, Doihara naturally knew that something had happened to the Japs in Gangcheng Village. Dragon Boat Festival would most likely escape from the direction of Gangcheng Village.
He ordered people to set up defenses 20 kilometers north of Gangcheng Village, preparing to intercept Duanwu who might escape.
But at this moment, the Erhe post coming from the northwest of Xintai County was attacked by the Dragon Boat Festival troops.
There were not many Japs in this Erhe post, probably only a small team of Japs and a company of puppet troops.
When Dragon Boat Festival went to Xintai County before, he didn't touch them at all. But this time, he picked them up directly and headed straight for Mount Tai.
Doihara's brain briefly short-circuited. He didn't know what Dragon Boat Festival was going to do, because there was a gap in the defense line of Gangcheng Village. So why did the main force of Dragon Boat Festival not go from Gangcheng Village but to the line of Erhe Post?
But then he understood that Dragon Boat Festival was using this method to cover the departure of the baggage troops.
This was exactly what he wanted, because from the beginning to the end, what Doihara wanted was not arms.
If the arms are lost, just take them back. What's more, he has left a backup force in Wanjialing.
Momotaro and his men were already ambushing at the foot of Wanjialing Mountain, but because Dragon Boat Festival had not entered the game yet, Momotaro remained still.
Because you can imagine that if Momotaro took action in advance, the people on Wanjialing would definitely report to Duanwu, and Duanwu had not entered the ambush circle at that time and could leave at any time.
However, Duanwu's surprise attack did catch Doihara off guard. Unexpectedly, the scouts he sent out were just decorations. Not only was he exposed, but Duanwu also took advantage of the loophole under his nose. In a short time
In less than two hours, they appeared in Xintai County, and in less than thirty minutes, the entire Xintai County fell.
Most of the people in the Fifth Division were killed in the battle, and the puppet troops in Xintai County also suffered heavy casualties.
The only good thing is that there were no casualties in the Fourth Division.
Doihara was really speechless, thinking: These are indeed the elite of the empire. After the battle with the Supervisory Corps, there were zero casualties. I am afraid that the Fourth Division will become the legendary elite.
Of course, now is not the time to settle accounts after the fall, but to block the Dragon Boat Festival and not let him escape.
The Fourth Division and the Japs near the original Xintai County quickly formed a defense line to block Duanwu's continued attack and buy time for other troops.
In addition to the 14th Division, the 5th Division, the 4th Division, and the 20th Division, there is also a mixed brigade of the Imperial Alliance Army that is gathering to continuously build a three-layer encirclement in Xintai County.
As for Li Yunlong's troops, Doihara thought for a while and actually only called in two squadrons of Japanese soldiers to harass them.
Doihara's intention was to use two squadrons to hold back Li Yunlong's troops, and then turn around and deal with the transportation brigade after the Dragon Boat Festival was eliminated.
And Doihara gave Momotaro an order to let them continue to lurk, because the Dragon Boat Festival was in full swing at this time. If the Dragon Boat Festival knew that another army was attacking Wanjialing at this time, he would definitely fight to the death to break through.
But because Dragon Boat Festival moved too fast, his encirclement had not yet closed.
Therefore, at this time, Doihara would never let Momotaro attack Wanjialing. Even Momotaro's request for investigation was rejected by Doihara.
Because even if we don't attack, if the enemy discovers that there are scouts scouting Wanjialing, I'm afraid the enemy will be able to figure out what's going on.
So Momotaro continued to stand still, while Doi Principle continued to improve his encirclement.
But Duan Wu would not sit still and wait for death. He was waiting for news about Li Yunlong. As long as Li Yunlong and Lao Shou were safe, he would naturally break through.
And he can't stay in one place for too long.
After capturing the Erhe post, Duanwu led his people directly to the west.
Ma Ping'an's underground party comrades discovered that Japs were moving near Shanghe Village.
The enemy probably has an infantry brigade.
This group of Japanese soldiers is moving northward, and its specific purpose is unknown.
But this provides a new combat direction for Dragon Boat Festival.
If the Japanese army wants to encircle him, he must quickly tear the enemy's encirclement into pieces.
Moreover, he could not leave at this time and could not escape the enemy's sight, otherwise the enemy would definitely change their target and intercept Li Yunlong's transport brigade.
So the Dragon Boat Festival ordered a rapid march to intercept the Japanese infantry brigade halfway.
But during the reconnaissance of the march, a battalion of scouts sent out by the Dragon Boat Festival discovered that to the north of them, there were also Japanese troops moving in the direction of Shanghe Village.
Duanwu quickly checked the map and discovered that the Japs' target was a fork in the road east of Shanghe Village. If the Japs occupied this place, they could form a line of defense to prevent them from breaking through to the north.
The specific number of the little devils is unknown, but Duanwu feels that his speed must be faster than the little devils.
Dragon Boat Festival asked Zhu Shengzhong to lead two companies of the first battalion to quickly occupy three highlands at this fork in the road, where they wanted to fight the Japs.
This battle may last until dawn, this is the preliminary estimate of the Dragon Boat Festival. Because they must withdraw from the battle before dawn. Otherwise, the Japanese plane bombings will definitely follow.
At this time, the Jaap had realized that he had no anti-aircraft weapons, and the machine gun alone could not stop the Jaap's bombing!
