Dragon Boat Festival quickly escaped from the sight of the little Japanese, and the little Japanese reconnaissance plane lost sight of the supervision team again.
Doihara was naturally furious, but he still didn't know that Danwu and others had already changed into the clothes of the imperial army. Otherwise, the old Honda devil would have been chopped into pieces by him.
Because Honda concealed such important information, Doihara would be sorry if he didn't kill him.
But Honda also has his own cleverness. Honda thought that although Danwu ran away wearing the clothes of the Imperial Army, he would never have thought that he did not report it to Lord Doihara. So even if he was wearing the clothes of the Imperial Army, he would not dare to go around.
Publicity.
And as long as he finds them before the supervision team reaches the third line of defense, it will be fine.
So this Honda actually decided to take advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival without knowing about it.
Of course, his guess was correct. Danwu really didn't know that Honda, an old devil, had concealed such important information. Let alone Doihara, even if there was an officer in the supervision corps who dared to do this, he would probably kill him with one shot.
Lose.
After escaping from the pursuit of the Japs, Duan Wu led his men directly to the northwest. He was going to join Sun Shiyu, Shangguan Zhibiao and others.
They would unite and pass through the Japanese's third blockade, and then return to support Wanjialing.
Although the distant water cannot quench the near thirst, if they escape from the enemy's encirclement, they will put great pressure on the enemy and force them to give up attacking Wanjialing.
Of course, this is just Duanwu's hope. After all, it will only be one day before he can return to Wanjialing. What's more, can the little devil let them go so easily?
Fortunately, Ma Ping'an sent back news that the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army had ordered a regiment of troops to rush to support after learning that the Japs had made a surprise attack on Wanjialing. This regiment was more than fifty kilometers away from Wanjialing.
The earliest we can arrive is between three and four o'clock this afternoon.
Based on this calculation, they would have to walk about seven or eight kilometers in an hour.
This doesn't seem like much, and I'm afraid every adult can do it. However, this requires continuous marching, which requires very high physical strength of the soldiers.
And if it weren't for the Eighth Route Army, I'm afraid only the iron army of the Dragon Boat Festival could do it.
Dragon Boat Festival also traveled a long distance, it was a combination of coaxing and deception, he tried his best.
But the Eighth Route Army is different. The Eighth Route Army often operates in the mountains, and what they practice is the soles of their feet. So this fifty-kilometer rush march is really nothing to them.
I remember one time, the Eighth Route Army spent a day and a night traveling more than 100 kilometers to fight against the enemy. That was a great feat.
Of course, such a battle was also done in the Dragon Boat Festival, but it took almost two days in the Dragon Boat Festival.
Duanwu had no choice. He had been fighting on the front line and had no time to train. The new recruits were following Duanwu purely with their thoughts. So looking at the marching speed of the Eighth Route Army, Duanwu could only envy him.
But envy is envy, Duanwu's thoughts on this battle are becoming clearer and clearer.
He wanted to quickly join up with Shangguan Zhibiao and others, and then break out of the siege together.
The Dragon Boat Festival and his team were very fast, although the soldiers were already panting from exhaustion. But in order to quickly jump out of the enemy's encirclement, they could only persevere and constantly challenge their limits.
They have been fighting continuously since last night, and their physical strength has almost reached its limit.
But Dragon Boat Festival cannot let them stop now. Because if they stop at this time, the anger in the hearts of the soldiers will definitely be relieved.
Therefore, Duanwu planned to let the soldiers arrive at Renjiacun, eight kilometers away, to rest. This was also where he and Shangguan Zhibiao would meet.
Duanwu guessed that if the Japs wanted to set up a third line of defense, it should be in the Yushan area outside Taishan.
The terrain there is difficult, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Only one infantry regiment is needed to block the main transportation route into Mount Tai.
And now that it's dawn, the Japs' air support will also play a major role. So as long as they are held back by the Japs for more than half an hour, the Japs' planes will cause huge casualties to them.
And this is also the reason why the Dragon Boat Festival has to rest in Renjiacun. The last line of defense will probably be a fierce battle.
Dragon Boat Festival was walking, calculating how big the victory was and whether there was any other way around the Japanese blockade. But at this moment, a scout from the first battalion hurried back and reported: "Report
Regiment seat, two kilometers ahead, we found the Japanese cavalry."
"cavalry?"
Duanwu was surprised, he didn't expect there were cavalry in Dofeiyuan.
Cavalry is difficult to deal with. Although the power of cavalry has been greatly reduced after the emergence of machine guns, cavalry that encounters Japanese soldiers in plain areas may still cause great damage to infantry.
The cavalry kills not only the Japs on horseback, but also the horses under the Japs' crotches.
And the iron hoof of the empire that we often hear refers to the war horse.
Further ahead is the plain area. If the Japanese cavalry ambushes here, the consequences will be disastrous.
Duanwu immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing and hide in the woods. He wanted to wait for the little devil's cavalry to pass in front of him. After all, the last place the cavalry wanted to go was the woods.
The woods will cause obstacles to the war horses, and the speed of the cavalry will be greatly reduced.
So theoretically, the little devil's cavalry will not enter the woods.
But Dragon Boat Festival only needs to order the troops to hide in the woods and wait for the cavalry to pass from the plain in front, and then they can continue to move.
So Duanwu immediately issued an order for all soldiers to rest where they were.
When the soldiers heard the Dragon Boat Festival's order, they felt like deflated rubber balls. They fell to the ground and didn't want to move anymore.
This is also the thing that worries me the most during the Dragon Boat Festival. During the long march, although rest is necessary, if you get to the end of the road and take too much rest, it will often be counterproductive.
The soldiers were all very tired. The more he rested, the more he wanted to rest. In the end, he even lost the motivation to continue walking.
But there was no way at this time. The Little Japs were in front, and they were just scouts from a small cabinet. If a large force of the Little Japs cavalry arrived and the two fought in the plains, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Therefore, Duanwu had to stop and order the troops to evade for a short time.
Unexpectedly, Duanwu had just ordered the troops to stop, but another scout came to report that the Japs seemed to have discovered them, and that a dozen Japs were riding towards their direction.
Zhu Shengzhong was the first to lose his temper. He picked up the guy and wanted to fight with the kid.
But Duanwu felt that the matter was not that bad. After all, they were still wearing Japs' clothes at this time. Even if the Japs saw them, they might not attack immediately.
Duanwu felt that he still had a chance, so he might as well try to deceive the Japanese. After all, it was not the time to fight the Japanese yet. Otherwise, it would affect his plan to meet Shangguan Zhibiao in Renjiacun!
