Just when Kunizaki was hesitating, in the Yucrack Valley, known to the locals as Xigou, northwest of Baichengzi, an anti-alliance force consisting of two and a half companies was quietly lurking there, obviously the leader. , several people with pistols on their backs were lying on the edge of the ditch, holding up binoculars to carefully observe the headquarters of the 7th Division in the woods to the north of Baichengzi, which was only more than a thousand meters away from their lurking position. What else should we discuss in a low voice?
If Su Yingqi were here, these people who were observing Baichengzi with telescopes would definitely be familiar. These people were all separated from the troops who had been unable to contact them during the melee last night. One of them carried The man holding a pistol and followed by guards was none other than his chief of staff, Miao Zhihe.
As for how they came from the Zhagastenoor line to Baichengzi, which is exactly the opposite, I am afraid no one can explain it clearly except themselves, but at least they are now on the entire Aruhorqin Banner battlefield, 100 meters away from the 7th Division Headquarters. The nearest anti-alliance force.
Putting down the binoculars in his hands, Miao Zhihe turned around and went down to the bottom of the Yucai ditch. He said to the only two infantry company commanders around him and the machine gun company commander who only had two heavy machine guns and half of the men left: "Now we can be sure that what we have in front of us is the headquarters of the Japanese Seventh Division."
"Due to the bombing by the aviation force, they did not dare to enter Baichengzi, so they placed the division headquarters in the woods outside Baichengzi Village. The high-power cable in the woods was erected for a short time but was erected very frequently. Radio antennas are only equipped at the division level."
"Grandma, these little devils are very cunning. They placed the division headquarters here, not far from the battlefield, and also had Baichengzi as the scapegoat to distract our aviation force from focusing on this area. When we came here last night , if you really fall for their trick, you won’t be able to touch anything if you rush into Baichengzi Village.”
"Thanks to me, when you bunch of brainless bastards were about to take action, I had a little more foresight. I heard the sound of a gasoline generator in the woods and suppressed the action. Otherwise, I would have to alert the snake. At that time, it won’t be as simple as drawing water from a bamboo basket and getting nothing.”
"This is where the little devil's division is located. The security must be tight, and it is so close to the battlefield. The number of security forces will definitely not be as large as it seems on the surface. If we really alert the snake, we may not take advantage. We have to It’s impossible to hide everything here.”
Hearing Miao Zhihe's words, a company commander next to him chuckled and said: "Chief of Staff, let's not worry about anything else. You tell us how to fight this battle. You are the commander, and we all have to listen to you on how to fight. You Just give me the order, we didn’t fight much this night, and we ended up going the wrong way.”
"Now that we've touched here, we can't just stare at such a big piece of meat. Now that we're separated from the main force, we can't just wait here until dark and do nothing, Zagastanol. We didn’t get anything from the battle. It would be weird if we didn’t get laughed out of our brothers’ troops if we just went back like this.”
"We have now lost contact with the main force. We don't even know where most of them have evacuated. One of the two walkie-talkies was damaged in the battle last night. The antenna of the remaining one was also given to We lost it, and now our walkie-talkie has become an ear ornament for the deaf. If you hadn't gathered us up, we new recruits wouldn't have been able to herd the sheep completely."
"You tell me how to fight now. Finish this battle as soon as possible and join the main force as soon as possible. Grandma's departure from the main force is like becoming a child without a mother. She always feels empty in her heart. Finish this battle as soon as possible. In the first battle, go find the main force. If you are lucky, you can get a radio station, and maybe it will be easier to find the main force."
After the company commander finished speaking, Miao Zhihe slapped him on the head and said, "If you hadn't been deceived inexplicably, half a squadron of little devils would have stuck you and dragged him in this direction, and in the end you would have been dragged by two squadrons. The counter-siege was not to save you. We were able to be separated from the main force, and we were cut off from the route to join the main force. Even on the battlefield, I can still hear the sound of gunshots over there."
"Are you really stupid usually, or are you just pretending to be smart? It only takes half a squadron of devils to trick you. It's better this time. I, the regiment's chief of staff, disappeared on a battlefield. Go back and the regiment leader and political commissar will come." Don’t curse me to death, or Commander Wang might not be able to spare me.”
"You kid, I can't let you act alone. I have to watch you under my nose. Otherwise, you kid will cause some trouble. If you kid runs away, it doesn't matter if you go back and deal with it yourself. You will be implicated. With so many brothers accompanying you, you still have the nerve to say these things."
"However, now is not the time to pursue this matter. I will deal with you when I get back. I, the chief of staff of the regiment, are not in a hurry. You are so anxious. Let me tell you, now is not the time. We are going in alone now, and the main force is running away. Where it went, no one knows."
"Our bombers have just withdrawn. The few people and ammunition we have now are not enough to fill the gap between the enemy's teeth. Did you see that the enemy only guards the perimeter outside the woods, which is enough for a squadron?" We don’t know how much security there is in the woods. If we go out now, it can only be to deliver breakfast to people."
Having said this, Miao Zhihe drew a rough terrain on the ground with branches in his hands, and said to the three company commanders beside him: "In this fighting in the middle of the night, I don't know where the main force went. What's on hand now?" The ammunition has not been replenished and is no longer sufficient. Each person in the rifle still has less than thirty rounds of ammunition on average, and each person in the submachine gun still has about one magazine."
"There are two heavy machine guns, and the total ammunition is less than 200 rounds. Your fucking machine gun company commander is a waste. After a small encounter outside the forced march, two of the four heavy machine guns escaped and lost 40,000 rounds of ammunition." , I also lost two-thirds of my running. When fighting, I didn’t know how to control the rhythm. The bullets were like splashing water."
"There are only 10,000 rounds of ammunition left. After less than half an hour of fighting, there are only 200 rounds left. If this were in my old army, you, the machine gun company commander, would have been dismissed from your post long ago to take the blame. I really don’t know what your fucking machine gun company commander and instructor do, and how you graduated from the teaching team.”
"A forced march and retreat, a small-scale encounter, can actually cause such huge losses. A total of four machine guns escaped and two were lost. There are three squads in an ammunition platoon. It's better that you can't find two squads. If these losses were They were all destroyed in the battle, and I am not angry, because as long as the battle starts, there will be certain battle losses, but all your equipment and ammunition were lost."
When talking about machine guns and ammunition, Miao Zhihe seemed very angry. The four heavy machine guns had 40,000 bullets, but not many were fired, and not a single one was damaged. In fact, half of them were lost in the melee last night. Three-quarters of the bullets were lost, not only the heavy machine gun company, but also other companies.
Although not many weapons were lost, during the retreat, ammunition and dry food were severely lost. The only 60 gun and most of the shells it carried were also lost. Some recruits even lost their water bottles and dry food bags. After losing it, except for the veterans, the entire army was in a miserable state.
This time he also took the opportunity to hit the machine gun company commander and hit several other company commanders. Miao Zhihe was very dissatisfied with the performance of the troops last night. According to what he said privately, this was not a good thing. A troop that has completed full training is simply a new regiment.
After banging the table to scare the mice, Miao Zhihe ignored the blushing machine gun company commander and the company instructor who were being scolded by him. Instead, he continued: "The light machine guns of the two and a half infantry companies, together with the five captured The total number of the new Japanese machine guns is quite a lot, eleven, but they don’t have as many bullets as the heavy machine guns.”
"But what we are most fortunate about is that in the melee last night, the ammunition for the five new Japs machine guns was seized in greater quantities, as well as the grenades. Together with the seizures, not only everyone is now It’s fully equipped and has two spares.”
"This is a good thing, but the captured Japanese Type 97 grenades cannot be used by new recruits. They have impact fuzes. People who are not familiar with them may blow themselves up. After you go back, don't divide the company again. Adjust the grenades in the hands of all soldiers and give the captured Type 97 grenades to veterans for use."
"Grandma, I really don't know what the little devil is thinking. A light and heavy machine gun of one caliber uses two types of ammunition that are not universal. So many light machine gun bullets have been seized. A heavy machine gun of the same caliber without many bullets can only be left on the side. Look at it, there is no point in staring."
"We don't have much ammunition now, so we can only fight quickly. In other words, when we act, we must be fast. After destroying the 7th Division's headquarters, we should immediately break out to the southwest without any delay. Once we are attacked, If the Japanese are entangled, then we people will really have a narrow escape from death."
"Although we still don't know how many opponents we have to face, one thing I know is that the actual strength of the Japs in the woods must be much greater than what appears on the surface. Don't forget, how did we do it? Those who touched this place followed about a squadron of Japanese soldiers who broke up and rushed here."
"And this Japanese army with more than one squadron was defeated and never appeared again after retreating into the woods. This shows that there are at least two more squadrons of Japanese soldiers here now. That is to say, the strength of the Japanese army is at least no less than ours. According to the Conventionally, as the headquarters of the 7th Division is located, the Japs’ security force is at least two squadrons.”
"In this way, even if we don't add some messy baggage troops and engineers, as well as search regiments and some combat-effective miscellaneous soldiers, the enemy's strength far exceeds ours. We not only need to win the battle quickly, but also Think more tactically."
"Judging from the number of troops between the enemy and ours, as well as the actual battles between the troops, it is definitely impossible to fight head-on. The enemy's superiority in troops and ammunition is too obvious. If we fight hard, even if we are wiped out, we will be gone. We must be able to achieve our goals.”
"So what I mean is, let's deploy a group of veterans to disguise themselves with thatch to form a commando team. Later, when our bombers come to bomb again, we will take advantage of the bombers to interfere with the concentration of the enemy's peripheral security forces. These veterans will Try to touch the outside of the woods as much as possible."
"You will give half of the submachine guns and all the pistols to these veterans. The remaining half of the submachine gunners will hand over all their ammunition to the attackers, and each of you will be given two of our own grenades and The four captured Japanese grenades, the submachine guns without ammunition, were all dismantled and buried, and replaced with the Japanese's new rifles."
"The rest of the people concentrated all the bullets of our French-made light machine guns on the two light machine guns, and the heavy machine guns also concentrated the bullets on one. The remaining machine guns without bullets were all disassembled, and together with the submachine guns Bury it, remember to mark it when you bury it."
