Walking a hundred miles is easier said than done. What's more, this special force in the Dragon Boat Festival was originally on a long-distance raid, and they fought a battle in Huishan Town. They didn't have to rest for an hour before they had to march again.
Rush to the tiger's mouth between Changzhou and Baijia Town.
And Duanwu felt that the Japanese would set up defenses in the Mopanshan area east of Laohui. After all, he had done something big this time.
If the five tons of chemical bombs are used up, the little devil will definitely be in pain for a while.
And sure enough, the old Japanese Ban Heng was furious after hearing the news. He never thought that the people of the Navy Special Forces were so useless. Two squadrons and so many Imperial Army troops could not defend a chemical weapons depot.
He didn't even bother to deal with the surviving Gauchos, so he just threw them back to the Marine Special Forces and let them deal with them on their own.
His goal is Dragon Boat Festival, and he wants to intercept him before he returns to Changzhou.
And he had just received news that the left-wing troops had achieved significant results on the southern front. The Ma'anshan defense line had been breached. Although it was only the outer line, there was a large group of imperial troops rushing to Baijia Town, behind the Changzhou line, to cut off
The 112th Division, the 103rd Division, the 522nd Regiment of the 88th Division, and the independent regiment under the Third Military Police Brigade.
In other words, in less than a day of fighting, the Japanese army had already thoroughly investigated the troops fighting with them. It must be said that the Japanese army's powerful intelligence agency was the magic weapon for victory.
But no matter what, it may not be that easy to return to Laohui during the Dragon Boat Festival.
Duanwu felt that it was not that easy, but theoretically, he had this time to join the Independent Group and the 522nd Group.
In a normal emergency march, the five-kilometer journey would only take thirteen to twenty minutes. And the straight-line distance between his location and Tiger's Mouth was only about forty kilometers.
Calculated in this way, the total journey of 40 minutes will take 160 minutes, which is two hours and 40 minutes to reach the tiger's mouth.
But there are a lot of complicating factors that are unavoidable here.
The first soldiers were already very tired from the long-distance attack. I am afraid that they would not be able to do a normal forced march, not to mention that they still had wounded soldiers, which would greatly slow down their marching speed. Therefore, Duanwu estimated that they would take the most time for five kilometers.
It will take up to half an hour. In other words, theoretically, they cannot reach the tiger's mouth within three hours.
But he had to fight for it, because once trapped in the enemy's circle, it would be difficult for his special operations team to survive.
They had no supplies of weapons and ammunition, and no medical staff to treat the wounded. But the most important thing was that they only brought two days of rations for this operation.
So no matter what, we must take them out during the Dragon Boat Festival.
He asked the soldiers to take turns carrying the more seriously injured wounded, including him. And he was the first one, because when they arrived near Mopan Mountain, I was afraid there would be another battle, and he would not be able to carry the wounded at that time.
Seeing the thin Tuan Zuo panting violently while carrying him on his back, the seriously injured soldier cried. He asked Duanwu to keep him as long as he was given a gun and a grenade.
Duanwu said with a smile: "It's easiest to die on the battlefield, but it's difficult to survive. And the hardest thing is to kill more Japanese to survive. Don't worry, brothers, as long as we control every five kilometers to 20
Within minutes, we will definitely be able to cross the line of fire and reach the tiger's mouth."
"yes!"
When Dragon Boat Festival comforted the injured soldiers, he did not forget to boost their morale. After all, only morale could overcome the fatigue of each of them at this time.
However, at this time, let’s not mention that he put down the Dragon Boat Festival and led the special forces to Lahuzui. But he said that Ban Heng’s Japs had noticed that the Chinese defenders on the front line in Changzhou would retreat. He ordered the front-line troops to kill the Chinese defenders, and absolutely not
Get them off the battlefield.
So, just when Commander Huo and Zhou Weiguo were preparing to retreat, something strange happened in the Japanese camp.
Although the Japanese did not attack immediately, the number of scouts sent was more than four times the usual number.
At this point, the cards have almost been revealed. One side wants to withdraw, but one side will not let the other side withdraw. It depends on who will be better.
Zhou Weiguo's 522nd Regiment and the Independent Regiment are under the greatest pressure. They will face the entire Botian Detachment and the remainder of the 23rd Regiment of the Japanese Fifth Division.
Although the Japanese 23rd Regiment was beaten before, only more than 500 people escaped. However, under the heavy troops of the Botian Detachment, it played an icing on the cake. The number of enemies was too great, and it was enough to defeat the independent regiment.
He and the 522nd Regiment were surrounded in Baijia Town and could not move.
But the Bo Tian Japanese did not do this. He was imitating the tactics of the ancients.
In ancient times, troops would usually only surround three city gates, but never all four city gates, because in this way the defenders in the city would have no way out and would have to fight to the death.
And when that happens, casualties will increase.
What's more, this old Japs has another trick up his sleeve. He has secretly sent a large group of Japs to set up an ambush on the road outside the west gate of Baijia Town.
In other words, if the Independent Regiment and the 522nd Regiment in the city withdraw from Baijia Town, they may be surrounded by Japanese soldiers on the empty highway.
There are no bunkers on the road. Under the Japanese artillery fire, the Chinese army will become their target and even cannon fodder.
Therefore, the intentions of the Japanese are quite sinister.
But Zhou Weiguo was not a vegetarian. He knew as soon as the Japanese made a move that the Japanese had noticed their intention to retreat.
Originally, he wanted to ask Duanwu what to do in this situation. But then he thought again, it was already very difficult for Duanwu to retreat from the direction of Huishan Town. He could no longer leave this problem to Duanwu.
He asked Commander Huo of the Changzhou garrison via telegram. Commander Huo and Zhou Weiguo said that the same was true in Changzhou. The Japanese had already noticed their attempt to retreat. If they did not come up with a practical way, it would be difficult for them to leave safely.
Zhou Weiguo thought so too, but what was the practical solution? If he wanted to know, there was no need to contact Mr. Huo.
Naturally, Master Huo didn't know either, so the two of them could only think of solutions separately. Once they had a feasible plan, they would contact each other via telegram.
There was almost no progress in this power connection, but the two people reached an agreement at the same time. They would not contact him again until Duanwu was out of danger. Because it would be good if Duanwu could arrive at the tiger's mouth at the scheduled time. They couldn't
Add more weight to Dragon Boat Festival.
But they thought so, but the commander of the Japanese fifth division, Ban Heng, did not think so. He called a young Japanese officer in front of him and said: "Takeshita-kun, if you want to kill that Chinese lunatic, you need to personally take action."
