Chapter 1597 Breaking through the first line of defense!
"Yes, you are right, Lao Sun. When we came out this time, we not only got a lot of weapons and equipment, but also killed so many Japanese. We made a profit. Damn it, Grandma Te, what am I thinking about?"
Zhu Shengzhong suddenly realized, but little did he know that his sixth sense was correct. In addition to smashing the little Japanese's siege plan, this battle also had another plan of the Dragon Boat Festival.
It's just that no one knows about this plan, because once this plan is implemented, the sky will collapse.
Naturally, Sun Shiyu didn't know either. But he felt that there was nothing wrong with this battle.
What is the most lacking thing in the Supervision Corps today? It’s weapons and ammunition.
All units in the entire corps were howling for lack of ammunition.
And in this case, what would be wrong with Tuanzuo taking the risk to get the Japs' ammunition? Moreover, it can support the Taierzhuang battlefield from the side.
Because you can imagine that if the Supervisory Corps suppresses a large number of Japs near Xintai County, then the Japs strength in Taierzhuang will be greatly reduced, so that the brothers in the Fifth Theater will be able to fight more easily.
Therefore, in Sun Shiyu's eyes, Tuanzuo's tactical thinking was not wrong.
After Sun Shiyu's explanation, Zhu Shengzhong felt that he had thought too much and continued to participate in the battle.
With the artillery battalion joining in, the battle suddenly became one-sided.
Half an hour later, the enemies on the west side were the first to retreat. Although there were 1st Battalion on the left and 4th Battalion on the right to intercept them, the little Japs still managed to escape a squadron of about a hundred Japs, while the remaining Japs were
All were annihilated.
On the battlefield on the east side, after the Japanese troops on the west side retreated, they also quickly retreated.
Duanwu felt that they must have received some order, otherwise they would not have been able to retreat so resolutely.
From this, Danwu also deduced that all of this was probably Doihara's handiwork.
Doihara, an old Japanese devil, is very cunning, and Danwu has noticed it from the previous battles. If he wants to reap benefits from Doihara and annihilate a large number of his effective forces, he must be more careful, otherwise he may be the one who suffers.
.
Moreover, in this frontal battle, although he annihilated more than a thousand Japs, the supervision team also suffered more than 200 casualties.
On the plains where frontal hard steel is used, tactics are actually of little use. What both sides fight is basically firepower.
Of course, the firepower of the Supervisory Corps was unparalleled. A large number of weapons and ammunition seized in Xintai County were playing their due role at this time.
The two Japanese blocking troops were defeated, and Dragon Boat Festival immediately ordered the battlefield to be cleaned.
Nowadays, it is not easy to obtain weapons and ammunition. At least most of the bullets of the little devils must be collected, and the weapons of the little devils must be destroyed intensively.
This matter was left to Lao Abacus, who at this time was in charge of all the personnel and firepower ratio of the entire supervision team.
He wanted to distribute the captured weapons and equipment according to needs. For example, the dozen or so machine guns captured were given priority to be replenished to the first battalion.
The First Battalion suffered more than a hundred casualties this time. If its firepower could no longer keep up, its combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.
The eight captured grenade launchers were also added to the first battalion, and the four mortars were added to the second battalion. The remaining 38-type rifles and heavy machine guns of the little Japanese were all gathered together and destroyed.
Logically speaking, heavy machine guns have strong firepower and long range, so the supervision team should carry them.
But what they are competing with the Japs now is speed. If they are fast enough, they can escape from the Japs' circle, but if they are not fast enough, they will be surrounded in Xintai County.
Therefore, except for the artillery battalion, all troops did not carry heavy weapons to avoid slowing down the marching speed.
Boom!
After a violent explosion, the soldiers felt very painful. So many weapons and equipment could not be taken away, and they were all destroyed. Anyone would feel heartache!
But there is no way, they simply can't take away so many weapons and equipment at this time.
Dragon Boat Festival looked at the watch. It was already three o'clock in the night, and dawn was only two hours away. They had to set off as soon as possible.
However, at this moment, Ma Ping'an ran over and said: "Brother Duanwu, we can't walk the road ahead. The little devils ambushed people in Luoxia Valley. Although there is only one brigade of troops, the terrain of Luoxia Valley is difficult and difficult.
It is difficult to defend and attack. It is not that easy for us to break out."
Duanwu thought for a while and asked: "Brother Li, where are they?"
Ma Ping'an replied: "They are still more than thirty kilometers away from Mount Tai, and they are entangled by the Japs. The Japs ambush and sneak attacks, but do not fight head-on with the desperate column. It is really annoying."
Fortunately, you asked the Third Battalion to protect the baggage, otherwise Lao Li would definitely be held back by the Japs. The Third Battalion is blocking the Japs now. Lao Li's desperate column is speeding up, striving to reach Mount Tai before eight o'clock tomorrow morning.
Mountainous area.”
"Eight o'clock!"
Dragon Boat Festival repeated the sentence, because eight o'clock is easy to say, but it was only three o'clock at this time, and there were still five hours until eight o'clock.
And he must persist for five hours before breaking through.
Duanwu thought for a while and said: "From here, the troops will divide into two groups and bypass the Luoxia Valley."
"What? Divide the troops?"
Ma Ping'an was surprised, as were Shangguan Zhibiao, Zhu Shengzhong and others.
At this moment, Duanwu looked at Lao Abacus, who quickly took out the military map.
At this time, a soldier brought a flashlight to illuminate the map for the Dragon Boat Festival.
Duanwu pointed at the map and said: "Now the little devils must be planning to encircle and annihilate our main force. And the encirclement they set up will also have this purpose. Then we will disperse our forces to break through.
Judging from the battle just now, the Japs were planning to build the first encirclement at the fork in the road. But this encirclement has been torn apart by us.
Then the little Japs will make a fuss in the second encirclement. For example, the Japs who just escaped, I estimate that nine out of ten went to Luoxia Valley to strengthen the defense there.
In other words, if the little devil is convinced, we will go to Luoxia Valley and force our way out from there.
Because we walked through Luoxia Valley, we could return to Mount Tai the fastest, and we had the best chance of jumping out of the encirclement they had set up after passing through Luoxia Valley.
The third encirclement of the little Japanese is the largest and the weakest. If we jump out, the old Japanese in Doihara will not be able to do anything."
"Then why don't we jump out?"
At this moment, Zhou Tianyi asked in confusion.
Duanwu said with a smile: "If we jump out, the little Japanese army will bite the baggage troops of Lao Li and Lao Snoring.
The Japs are letting the baggage troops leave now just to deal with us with all their strength. In other words, I am sure that the Japs do not have enough troops. Otherwise, they would not send only a small group of troops to harass the baggage troops.
I guess Doi originally planned to use a small group of troops to hold off the baggage troops first, so that he could attack on both sides.
But I had expected this a long time ago and asked Lao Shou to escort the baggage troops.
Therefore, if the Japs want to stop the baggage troops, they need to mobilize at least two infantry brigades to do so.
But now it seems that the Little Japanese can't even mobilize two infantry brigades, which is enough to show that the Little Japanese has insufficient strength.
And if we divide our forces into two groups here and spend some time bypassing Luoxia Valley, then what will the little devils do? They don't know where I am, so they will choose to intercept our two groups at the same time.
In other words, if we divide our troops here, we will directly break the little Jaap’s original plan and at least make the little Jaap busy for a while!”
