The Japanese were circling in the mountains, and Dragon Boat Festival was naturally not idle either. He also sent out sentries to investigate.
Lao Snoring's spy battalion had discovered traces of the Japs early on. They were following Tamura's reconnaissance team and watching the Japs circling in the mountains.
At first they followed, but then they stopped following at all. The little devil kept spinning in circles, and he was afraid that he would die of exhaustion in the mountains.
Lao Snoring asked a scout to report to Dragon Boat Festival, while he found a comfortable place to sleep.
Because it was obvious that the little Japs had no intention of attacking. They were also cooking pots and preparing to rest tonight, while the reconnaissance team was just wandering around in the mountains.
Lao Snoring looked at the German-style equipment with envy. His special agent company was equipped with less than half of its submachine guns due to insufficient ammunition.
But he was not in a hurry. He would wait for the little devils to run out of strength before leading his men to deal with them.
At the same time, Duanwu, who had taken a nap for a while, also received news from Lao Snoring. The Japanese had arrived, but they had no intention of attacking. They only sent out scouts, about a small team, and their weapons were all German.
equipment.
When Duanwu heard this information, his expression was almost exactly the same as that of Lao Snoring. Because isn't this the same as the little devil sending them equipment?
What's more, Lao Shou has confirmed that the formation left by Mr. Zhuge is indeed effective, and the little Japanese scouts have been circling in the forest.
"Go and invite Lao Zhou and Commander Qiu to come to me. Go quickly, go quickly!"
Originally, Dragon Boat Festival was very tired. After analyzing the current situation with Qiu Ming, Zhou Weiguo and others, everyone went to bed.
After days of running and fighting, everyone was so exhausted that they almost fell asleep when they lay down.
But after less than three hours of sleep, Dragon Boat Festival was no longer sleepy, because a new jungle hunt was about to begin.
If Bantian was still staying in Shamadian, there would be nothing he could do during the Dragon Boat Festival. If he wanted to attack Bantian, he would have to walk more than 20 kilometers to reach Shamadian, and then he would have to think of a way to attack the city.
But his independent regiment, Qiu Ming's Hutou Mountain Independent Regiment, and Zhou Weiguo's 522nd Regiment were all very tired.
This is equivalent to using a tired army to attack someone else's elite, while waiting for work, and the opponent's strength is more than three times that of the Dragon Boat Festival.
Unless Duanwu's head is rusty, he will never do this.
But Sakata, who was eager for quick success and quick profit, came to the door himself.
Relying on his strong military strength and the heavy weapons in hand, he did not take the Dragon Boat Festival seriously at all, even if he already knew that there were reinforcements in the Dragon Boat Festival.
He has five infantry brigades, plus an armored squadron, and an artillery battalion. These people are enough to fight against a Chinese division.
Moreover, the formations he set up were horns of each other, so the enemy would not have any opportunity to take advantage of it. Otherwise, Sakata would not dare to go deep into Big Head Mountain so rashly.
The Japanese were well prepared, but Duan Wu never cared about this. What he cared about was his own soldiers. Bandits such as Ma Zhenshan could only use them temporarily, not for fighting.
Therefore, in the battle between Shamadian and Erlangshan, the Dragon Boat Festival was very difficult.
Let’s not talk about the distance, let’s talk about the battle at Erlang Mountain. If Lao Snoring’s spy camp had been there, the sentries wouldn’t have discovered it until the Japanese had lowered their eyes.
If Dragon Boat Festival had discovered the Japs early, arrangements would have been made for them.
Therefore, Erlangshan was passive, and Dragon Boat Festival had nothing to do.
But things are different now. His soldiers are back again. These people, not only experienced hundreds of battles, but most of them have fought hard battles with him. They can understand his meaning with every look or even movement he makes.
Take Lao Snoring, he just saw the equipment on the Japanese scouts and wanted to get it over. Because he knew that if the regiment were here, they would do the same thing.
Therefore, he used the soldiers in the Dragon Boat Festival smoothly, and even sometimes they knew what they should do without even giving orders.
But Lao Dai hasn't taken action yet because he has to wait until dark.
The number of people he led was small, only about thirty, but there were about sixty Japanese.
The enemy's strength is twice that of his. If we don't use a stumbling block, it will be difficult to take down the opponent. After all, the enemy is not a soft persimmon.
From the opponent's march and tactical movements, Lao Snoring felt that these little Japs were unusual, at least much stronger than the Japs they had seen before, so he took action rashly, fearing that the fox would not be hit and he would be in trouble.
Lao Shou will not do a loss-making business, he will continue to wait until the little devil is exhausted, and then he will beat the drowned dog.
At the same time, the Little Devil reconnaissance team finally couldn't stand it anymore. They wandered in the mountains for more than two hours, and the sky became dark, but they still could not get out of the mountains and find their enemy.
Tamura asked anxiously: "Liu Sang, when can we arrive?"
Fatty Liu's face was covered in sweat. He kept wiping it with a handkerchief and said awkwardly: "Imperial Army, I remember that I left like this last time, but I don't know what happened today. I can't get out. In this way, the Imperial Army is here first."
Let me rest for a while. I will go to the front and take a look. If I find a way out, I will come back and call you?"
Tamura was really tired, and with this mountain, he wasn't afraid of Fatty Liu running away.
He waved his hand and told Fatty Liu to go on his own, and then sent out sentries to be on guard while taking out a map and compass.
The compass works, and he can tell the north and south directions. But forget about the map.
The map has become very general at this point, with nothing on it except a big mountain.
How to find this? They are easy to get in and difficult to get out.
A Japanese soldier said: "Sir, we shouldn't listen to that fat man. We should go back. Our troops should all be in the southwest. As long as we follow this direction, we will be able to go back."
Tamura said: "Baga, do you think I'm a fool? Do I really trust the Chinese? I just took a look while you were resting. Except for these mountain roads, there are no roads in the forest at all. You have to know,
If there were no roads, it would be very difficult for us to march. We don’t know enough about the mountains here, so it would be very dangerous.”
The Jaap Soldier said: "Then it's better for us to be trapped here and die? If this continues, I'm afraid we'll all be exhausted to death before the mission is completed."
Tamura thought for a while and said: "Then let's wait for Translator Liu to come back and try again. If it works, we can walk back, otherwise we still need him. Although he led the wrong way, he is more familiar with us here.
More, let’s just wait and see!”
The other Japs thought about it and felt that this was the only way to go. Otherwise, given the Japs' character, Fatty Liu would have killed him long ago by leading them around the mountains!...
