The battle situation has changed again. It is not clear what Takeshita Jun said to another pursuing force about the Dragon Boat Festival. So in his opinion, this may be another uncertain factor.
But think about it, the conditions of the two pursuit forces are similar. Even if another Japanese squadron arrives as scheduled, it will be a failure.
But what Dragon Boat Festival never expected was that the Japanese searching westward encountered a caravan.
The Japanese killed the people in the caravan and left the goods in the mountains but took the carriage as a means of transportation.
Therefore, these Japanese soldiers not only marched faster, but were also much stronger physically and mentally than Takeshita Shun's pursuit squadron.
But Danwu didn't know this. He only sensed that there might be changes from the connection between Takeshita Shun and the pursuit force on the west side.
But it was too late to change tactics at this time. Takeshita Shun was about to speak. If you don't eat the meat on your lips, you will fight first. If the battle situation is unfavorable, retreat immediately after firing the shells.
This is in the mountains, and as long as there is enough depth, the devils under Jun Takeshita are really not in Duanwu's eyes.
However, the level of fatigue of the soldiers at this time made Duanwu a little worried. The long-term continuous fighting not only exhausted the little Japanese but also them.
Fortunately, the soldiers' spirits were still high, they had won two battles in a row, and had rested for nearly two hours, so they looked very energetic.
As for the two infantry squads of Kira Battalion, Danwu didn't take it to heart at all.
When Shun Takeshita sent a telegram to Kira Battalion, the message was intercepted at Danwu. However, Kira Battalion's blockade force was still thirty kilometers away, and they wanted to come immediately unless they had wings.
If the ambush of Takeshita Jun goes well, it will be very easy for Danwu to seize Takeshita Jun's weapon and then attack the two Japanese squads.
So Duanwu continued to stay in Sandaoliang until about two o'clock in the night, when the scouts saw the light of fire on the north side of Sandaoliang.
The little devil is here. Although the marching speed is very slow, he is slowly rushing towards Sandao Liang.
Pang Hu joked: "Tuanzuo, this little devil is as crawling as a tortoise."
Duanwu said: "You can still see them running like dogs after a while!"
"Hahaha!"
The soldiers laughed loudly after hearing this. After more than an hour of rest, they had recovered from the previous battle.
But this is definitely temporary. If they can find a place to settle down, Duanwu would like to let them rest for two more days.
The high-intensity combat was not only overwhelming for the soldiers, but it was also the case for Dragon Boat Festival. He not only had to fight, but also command, which made him physically and mentally exhausted.
But even so, he had to insist on reaching a safe area, otherwise these two dozen soldiers and he would be buried in this mountain.
Duanwu didn't want to die in Sandao Liang like this, because the battle to defend Nanjing was not over yet, and the Battle of Xuzhou was about to begin. He must take his brothers and kill more Japanese to stop the Japanese attack.
···················
At the same time, Takeshita Toshi was as tired as a dog and was still running for his life. Although he rested for ten minutes in the middle, the ten kilometers of rapid march had once again exhausted the little strength he had accumulated. Moreover, they also ran out of water.
My throat was so thirsty that it was smoking, and many of the Japanese were coughing violently.
Takeshita Shun could only comfort his soldiers by saying that they would have water and meat to eat when they saw the pursuing troops on the west side. Because the Japanese pursuing troops on the west side attacked a Chinese plainclothes unit and took away their horses.
There is plenty of drinking water, food, etc.
But it was actually a caravan, which transported goods from the south to the north for sale. Unexpectedly, the Japs came and they stayed in the mountains for three days, but they still did not escape the clutches of the Japs. There were more than thirty people in the caravan, one person
Most of them were killed by the Japs, and only seven or eight escaped by chance.
All the goods on the car, as well as the horses and carriages, etc., were robbed by the little devils.
The little devil opened the goods, picked up the valuable ones, and threw the rest of the goods into the mountains. Then he drove back in a carriage pulling supplies.
So Takeshita Jun didn't lie. The Japanese chasing on the west side were indeed much more comfortable than them.
However, the little Japs did not report to Takeshita Jun that they were just killing a group of ordinary people. Instead, they said that they were a Chinese team that made up and infiltrated.
In this way, they not only robbed things, but also gained military exploits.
The little devils often do this kind of thing, killing some civilians and then falsely claiming that they are Chinese soldiers. Therefore, the number of Chinese soldiers they kill is always much greater than the actual number of Chinese soldiers.
But no one went to investigate this matter thoroughly, because what the top Japanese leaders always wanted were battle reports on the number of enemies killed and the defeat of the Chinese army.
Therefore, even though Takeshita Shun guessed that his troops had killed Chinese people again, he could only choose to turn a blind eye.
What's more, all the Japanese troops are doing this, what can he, a small major, do?
He only has one idea now, which is to annihilate the Dragon Boat Festival special forces and become a hero of the Japanese Empire.
Takeshita Jun's advocacy worked. Although the Japanese were very tired, they followed his footsteps and moved step by step towards Pingshan.
But little did they know that the Dragon Boat Festival was not in Pingshan, but in Sandaoliang.
The terrain of Sandaoliang is dangerous, and half of the mountain stretching for nearly one kilometer is like a giant beast crawling in the darkness.
Takeshita Jun looked at the mountains in front of him and stopped.
The captain of the guard asked: "Sir, why don't you leave? We can see Pingshan after crossing three beams."
Jun Takeshita looked out with a telescope and said: "The three beams are so close to Pingshan. Do you think the Dragon Boat Festival will be waiting for us here?"
The captain of the guard also held a telescope for investigation. After a moment, he said: "Sir, although the terrain here is dangerous, it is not suitable for encirclement. If the enemy really ambush us on the mountain, we can not only retreat, but also hide in the woods on the east side.
inside.
What's more, the Chinese special forces don't have many people, so we can't encircle us at all. But the most important thing is that if the Chinese special forces ambushe us here, then we will lose five to six kilometers of mountain roads. I
Do you think this is the generous gift that Mr. Dragon Boat Festival gave us?"
Takeshita Jun nodded and said: "You are right. If that Dragon Boat Festival ambushes us here, it will indeed be a generous gift and will be of great benefit to us. However, we cannot take it lightly. We must investigate if the enemy has laid mines on the road.
It will also cause us a lot of casualties."
The captain of the guard gave a thumbs up and said, "Your Excellency is still smart."
Takeshita Jun smiled proudly, and then ordered the vanguard to explore the road ahead to see if there were any mines ahead.
The vanguard of the little Japs walked tiredly at the front of the road. In this way, if there were landmines, they would be the first to step on them, and the Japs behind would be safe! ...
