Under Wen San's supervision, each squad and platoon immediately carried out three-three tactical training. Wen San even personally went to instruct the soldiers on how to position themselves, and how to change the roles of attack, cover and support between the three of them.
This is basically the movement form of an equilateral triangle. What needs to be grasped is the distance between each other, which can be flexibly changed according to terrain conditions. Three people form a group, and a large triangle is formed between the groups. The three groups of members combine to form a tactical formation. The three tactical formations are the basic charge team of a platoon.
It is not difficult to understand this thing, and the cooperation between three people is relatively simple, but the cooperation between groups requires time to practice. The coordination between tactical formations has increased the difficulty. Under normal circumstances, it takes at least a month of practice to initially form a tacit understanding.
Wen San knew that this could not be done in a hurry, and they did not have time for long-term practice. After instilling the basic concepts and practicing through combat, over time, the soldiers gradually mastered the essence of this tactic.
I didn't think about this during the rest of the past few days, which was indeed a mistake. Fortunately, they had an absolute firepower advantage in this battle and did not cause many casualties. It’s not too late to start practicing now.
While Wen's third company was enthusiastically practicing the three-three system tactics, several Japanese motorcycle teams had gradually moved towards them.
Including the Tengyuan Brigade, the forces of the two brigades were rapidly compressing the areas they had designated, and one by one they eliminated some locations where Tibetans might hide their troops.
At nightfall, Wen San suddenly heard the Japanese's voice in his head.
"We have been running for most of the day, and the oil on the motorcycle has almost burned out. We still haven't found the whereabouts of the Chinese army. I don't know where the army is hiding?"
"No matter where they hide, they will eventually be found. We have already searched half of the area designated by the headquarters. I don't believe they can still jump through this hoop..."
"We have two large groups of troops encircling us. It is impossible for the Chinese army to escape unless they are not in this designated circle at all."
"That's impossible. This range was drawn by the command and intelligence department based on the information they had. Don't question their professionalism."
Hearing the two Japs talking non-stop, Wen San stood up instantly and ran out quickly.
As a result, he had just finished running halfway when Wang Mazi came back from outside and said, "Company commander, our sentries found that there were Japanese motorcycles moving outside. They are probably searching for our unit."
"Are there any large groups of Japanese soldiers showing up?" Wen San was even more worried about this.
They have fought twice and eliminated more than 300 Japanese. The troops coming to hunt them this time will at least be in large groups.
"Not yet, but the Japs are wandering around nearby, and they might find their way here." Wang Mazi's worry is not unreasonable. If Japs are running over, it at least means that this area has entered the Japs' sight range.
After listening to Wang Mazi's report and the Japanese's own conversation, Wen San felt a little more relieved. But he understood that if his troops had been hiding here and not moving, there was a real possibility that the two Japanese groups would make dumplings out of them.
"No, wait for the Japanese motorcycles to leave, and then transfer the troops immediately. Just take advantage of the darkness to break out, and the Japanese brigade will probably be stationed at the key intersection. As long as you are careful enough, you have a chance to escape from the Japanese encirclement." Wen San immediately made up his mind. .
We can no longer stay in this temple.
However, just as Wen San made his decision, he heard several gunshots coming from the woods outside.
"Oops, it must be a Japs motorcycle coming over." Wen San ran outside again. He was very worried that his soldiers did not deal with the Japs, but instead exposed themselves.
After going out, Wen San found two Japanese soldiers lying on the ground and the motorcycle lying on its side.
"Report to the company commander, we killed two Japs and seized a motorcycle." A row of sentries saw Wen San approaching and reported quickly.
Wen San looked at the two dead Japs. They had a transmitter, a rifle, and a bastard box on them.
This kind of short gun is actually not very useful. It has a short range and not very powerful. It was only suitable for wearing on the waist for self-defense, so Wen San reluctantly put it away.
"Wang Mazi, immediately order the platoon leaders to assemble their troops. We must evacuate after dark." Wen San knew that once these two Japs died, their positions would soon be exposed.
A few minutes later, the entire company had assembled.
"Company commander, why don't you leave after dinner? The food will be ready soon." Old Yang ran over and wiped his apron with his hands, obviously reluctant to part with the meal he had just made.
After Wen San thought about it for a while, he agreed to Old Yangtou's suggestion, "Start the meal immediately after it is done. It must be finished within ten minutes."
When the soldiers heard that there was still dinner, smiles appeared on their faces. You must know that they only eat two meals a day, and only the wounded can eat three meals.
I was already hungry by now.
Ten minutes later, the entire company finished eating and the troops set off. Wen San still let a local soldier lead the team, and the entire company quickly disappeared into the night.
However, the troops had only walked a few miles when Wen San heard the voice of the Japanese again. This time the sound was more chaotic and there were a lot of people.
Wen San immediately stopped the team and ordered everyone to remain silent.
"Your Excellency, Major, our troops have blocked several adjacent intersections. No matter how the China Battalion moves, it is impossible to escape from our side. You can rest assured here," said a Japanese soldier.
"Yo Xi! At least one squadron of troops must be used at each intersection. Night patrols are carried out in squads. It must be ensured that there are troops patrolling at every time period, and there must not be any slack." Major Teng Yuan arranged the arrangements very carefully, without any traces. Don't give your opponent a chance to break through.
"Hi! We will strictly implement your Majesty's orders."
When Wen San heard this, a surprised smile appeared on his face. He was very familiar with Teng Yuan's little devil's voice. The remnant platoon he led had sacrificed many soldiers before, but he didn't expect that he would be here again tonight.
"There is a group of Japanese soldiers ahead. Do you know the distribution of those intersections?" Wen San asked the guide Zhao Wenzheng.
Hearing Wen San's words, many soldiers looked puzzled. They didn't know how the company commander made the judgment. Wen San didn't even explain it, it seemed very mysterious and magical.
"Report to the company commander, there is a main road two miles ahead, and there are three intersections within two miles of the main road, distributed in a zigzag pattern." Zhao Wenzheng said while drawing a simple figure on the ground with his finger.
