Xiao Anbao's explanation of the intimidating sneak attack actually made no sense. However, when the Sakamoto detachment quickly came to support, Sharp became more convinced of him. The Americans may have been too high-minded, but thanks to Xiao Anbao's life, I have seen its various tricks one after another, but now I have no complicated thoughts at all: "General, have you already detected that there are Japanese troops ambushing in front?"
Huang Haifu kept the 14th Brigade in order to give the Japs a surprise. A unit surrounded by enemy forces was actually used by him as a sharp blade to plot against the enemy. Perhaps, only he, who was a bandit leader, could There was such a crazy idea. In order to prevent them from being exposed, Huang Haifu contacted them once and agreed to implement radio silence. After the Sakamoto detachment took over the main offensive position of the 4th Division, out of his confidence in Xiao Anbao, he did not report it. As a result, Xiao Anbao actually did not know the existence of the Sakamoto detachment.
The Sakamoto detachment suddenly broke out, and Xiao Anbao also broke out in a cold sweat. He said to himself that he was lucky to be merciful. If he wanted to pursue and attack the fourth division, he would definitely be surrounded by counterattacks now. It was not easy to answer Sharp's question. question, he responded with a wry smile,
But in Sharp's view, this smile had an incomprehensible meaning, which made him admire him even more.
The harvest from this attack on the camp was pretty good. After the Americans and the Philippines obeyed Xiao Anbao's words, he counted them among his own forces. Fifty percent of the troops in the Fourth Division were equipped with new Type 15 semi-automatic rifles. , after these guns were seized, they were used to arm Americans and Filipinos,
Sawada Shigeru didn't know that the student army that attacked him had no plan to annihilate them from the beginning to the end. Therefore, he was ashamed of the Sakamoto detachment's timely support and was very moved at the same time. After meeting Sakamoto Takashi, the old Japanese took the initiative sincerely. He showed his goodwill, praised him without hesitation, and finally suggested: "Sakamoto-kun, how about we join forces together, and our fourth brigade will also be under your command."
After all, Sawada Shigeru is a lieutenant general, and he is also a veteran division commander of the Army's standing divisions. Although Sakamoto Takashi is quite disdainful of the Fourth Division, and is even ashamed that such a force still exists in the empire, the old devil offers a smile. He Yinqin, but he could only restrain his true emotions and put on a faint smile. However, when Sawada Shigeru sincerely proposed to join forces and handed over the command to him, he was almost shocked. He jumped up and quickly waved his hand and said: "Your Excellency, I appreciate your kindness. We'd better camp separately. For tomorrow's battle, your department will serve as our reserve team."
The First Loser Division has a good reputation. With this army participating in the war, battles that could have been won can also be lost. Sakamoto has also heard about this legend, so how could he dare to accept Sawada's kindness? Perhaps he was afraid that Sawada would do it again. Raising a similar question, the little devil immediately integrated his team and retreated to his own camp. Moreover, he set up a cordon with the Fourth Division and gave a clear order: No soldier from the Fourth Division was allowed to cross this cordon.
Perhaps they thought they had just carried out a devastating sneak attack on a Japanese camp, so the exhausted American soldiers and Filipinos all behaved vigorously during the retreat. However, after retreating to a safe area, none of them looked like they had just. When he walked out of the swamp, he immediately collapsed on the ground. Instead, he happily discussed the sneak attack just now and joked about the Japanese fleeing naked without fighting.
The number of Japs killed in this attack on the camp was not large, but a lot of materials were seized.
As both time travellers, Koizumi Toshiichiro and Ouyang Yun have one thing in common. They both care about the logistics and supply equipment of the field troops, perhaps in order to win over the Fourth Division, which is a unit that belongs to the Army, even though a considerable part of the division has The soldiers were Indonesian and belonged to the category of puppet troops, but Koizumi still gave him preferential treatment. Therefore, in addition to guns, a lot of cans, biscuits, etc. were also seized, and these were the supplies that the Chinese, American and Philippine coalition forces were most lacking. ,
Cans and boxes of biscuits were distributed one by one. Because Xiao Anbao paid special attention to the fact that there was no need to save money and supplies would be available tomorrow at the latest, so everyone could basically eat half full, and the atmosphere of this temporary habitat also changed. Be more joyful,
The soldiers were all eating cans and biscuits, while the mid-level and senior officers headed by Xiao Anbao were discussing something around a pile of weapons.
In addition to canned biscuits and even blankets, a number of firearms were also seized, including 25 Type 92 heavy machine guns and 71 crooked light machine guns.
Xiao Anbao means: With so many weapons, we can definitely fight a tough battle. We intend to use these light and heavy machine guns together with the original machine guns of our army to form a machine gun reinforcement company, and use them together.
During the escape, similar military meetings were held every day by the 14th Brigade. At first, Sharp, Marunan and others did not participate, but later they listened on the periphery. However, since breaking through the Ipil defense line, they would join the discussion in every meeting, and I will try my best to provide ideas, which can be considered as a complete integration.
Unconsciously, Sharp, the American major general who was most disgusted with Xiao Anbao at the beginning, has now become Xiao Anbao's staunchest supporter. Basically, whenever Xiao Anbao makes a suggestion, he will express his agreement and express his agreement. Therefore, Wang Laohu and others were quite speechless. They felt that this American was too unprincipled.
It is the practice of the Xuebing Army that the purpose of holding such military meetings is to bring out the best of everyone, so different opinions are encouraged. Therefore, a very interesting scene appeared. Regarding Xiao Anbao's proposal, Wang Laohu and other Xuebing commanders were skeptical. They put forward their own opinions to counter-evidence from different angles, but the Americans and Filipinos led by Sharp took the attitude of supporting Xiao Anbao and resolutely supported any proposal of Xiao Anbao. This made such meetings directly become Xiao Anbao's talk hall, Wang Laohu's Even if others' suspicions are correct, it becomes meaningless because of the one-sidedness of Americans and Filipinos.
This time it was the same. After hearing the translation, Sharp immediately expressed his opinion: "I think it's great." Ma Lunan continued: "I think it's great too." Du Disheng thought for a moment and said: "I support Chief Xiao's decision." proposal."
Wang Laohu rolled his eyes and asked: "Brigade, I agree with the centralized use of machine guns. However, when you say you want to fight a tough battle, are you preparing to attack the Japanese army that comes later?"
Xiao Anbao nodded and said: "Obviously, the Japanese army that appeared later should be the main force attacking Kapatagan. This Japanese army should not have appeared for a long time. Otherwise, the division headquarters would not have informed us. One thing is certain. , even this Japanese army plus the Fourth Division cannot capture Kapatagan. Once they are exhausted, our opportunity will come. Next, I will find an opportunity to contact the division headquarters. Above, I would like to suggest that the commander should make a serious attack from the north and the south and directly swallow up the Japanese army. If the commander agrees with this suggestion, then we will undertake the combat mission of preventing the Japanese army from escaping north. This will definitely be a scene. tough battle."
