Captain Sekiguchi became restless, and the gunfire in the village stopped. Koizumi's team was stubbornly blocked by Tubal Road, and lost several more people, unable to get close to the village entrance.
What's even more strange is that Tubal Road at the entrance of the village also stopped fighting back, and the whole village was silent.
It was so abnormal that Sekikou did not dare to send Xiaoquan's team into Wangcun again. He felt that the Tubal Road in the village wanted to let them in.
"Bagaya Road, Tubal Road is cunning and cunning!"
There was no news from the Imperial Association military camp, Nakamura's team lost contact, and Koizumi's team suffered nearly half casualties. He only had a complete team left, and only about 80 people were left including the wounded;
Guan Kou's heart started to get hairy. Now it was no longer a question of clearing Wang Village, but whether they could return to Black Spring Town safely, but he was willing to go back in such a dejected manner. He decided to wait a little longer. If there was no squadron yet, He returned to Black Spring Town after hearing the news about the team.
In Black Spring Town, Captain Otani has been waiting for Captain Sekikou for a long time. There is no news. The only radio station is at Sekikou Squadron. They can't contact each other now.
The Guankou Squadron went deep into Wang Village alone. If something went wrong, he couldn't bear the responsibility. After careful consideration, he decided to take the Otani Squadron to reinforce Wang Village;
Only after rendezvousing with the Guankou Squadron did he feel confident.
Just as he said, Captain Otani decisively withdrew from Black Spring Town and headed straight for Wang Village.
When the Japs left Heiquan Town, they naturally could not escape the eyes of Yilian. The investigators responsible for monitoring them quickly rode back to the vicinity of Wangcun to report to the main force of the Wangcun Soldier Company.
At this time, the militia company had already annihilated the puppet military camp. After learning that the main force of the Japs in the town had also come to kill them, they took the initiative to get out of the way for them.
This was a squadron of Japs. Deng Wu was not stupid enough to lead a militia company to fight a squadron of Japs in the field, so he asked them to come to Wangcun;
They wouldn't be happy staying in Wangcun. Calculating the time, the main force of the third platoon should be surrounding Lingshi. Can they still stay in Wangcun?
Otani Squadron rushed towards Wangcun unimpeded. Just when Guankou decided to withdraw to Black Spring Town, Otani Squadron's search team had already arrived.
The arrival of Otani Squadron made Captain Sekiguchi very excited. After receiving reinforcements from a squadron, he did not intend to let Wangcun go.
After the two old Japanese met, they reported each other's situation. Otani Squadron was fine, but Sekikou Squadron was in trouble...
"Mr. Sekikou, we may have fallen into the trap of Tubal Road. I didn't see a single Emperor's Association Army all the way here. You also said that you heard intensive gunfire, so now you can be sure that the Emperor's Association Army Camp has been destroyed by Tubal." All eight routes were wiped out!”
Although Sekiguchi was reluctant to face this reality, he did not refute Otani's judgment.
"Sekikou-kun, although the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Association Army is very poor, it still has more than 200 people with guns. This means that there is at least a hidden force on Tubal Road that can annihilate more than 200 Imperial Association Army troops!
If when we attack Wangcun, this Tubal army suddenly comes out from behind us, the imperial army will be in a dangerous situation;
There is Wangcun, which is full of landmines, blocking the road in front, and there are a large number of Tuba Road behind, and the imperial army is attacked from both sides..."
Cold sweat began to break out on Guankou's back. He had realized that he was blinded by anger. Tubalu was cunning and cunning, and he almost fell into Tubalu's trap.
"Otani-kun, if we withdraw like this without collecting a grain of food, what will the imperial army eat after we return?"
"Mr. Guankou, there are many villages in China. Since Wang Village is a tough one, let's go to other villages. At most, we can go to a few more villages and we can always collect enough food."
Sekikou actually wanted to withdraw his troops for a long time, but he couldn't calm down. Since Captain Otani tried his best to dissuade him, he went to other villages to collect food from Jianruliu.
"Yo Xi, just as Da Gu said, let Wang Village go this time. Let's go to Liu Zhuang and Cao Village. I heard that there is also a group of Tubal armed forces there to destroy them!"
Guankou said viciously. He was filled with pent-up anger and urgently needed a place to vent. Since Liuzhuang and Cao Village had Tuba Road, he could freely massacre the villages.
While the two little devils were discussing how to fight Liuzhuang, the signal soldier came over and reported a piece of news that made him even more crazy——
"Bagayalu, the Tu Eighth Route Army bullies people too much!"
"Mr. Guankou, the Tubal group that besieged Lingshi may be the group that annihilated the Imperial Association's military camp. Their purpose should be to encircle Wei and save Zhao."
After Otani finished speaking, he looked enigmatic. He had read the Chinese "Three Kingdoms" and "Thirty-six Strategies" since he was a child. When he heard that the Chinese were besieging the Lingshi stronghold, he immediately thought that the Eighth Route Army was besieging Wei to save Zhao. ;
The one who surrounds you is the spirit stone, and the one who saves is Wang Cun, cunning and cunning!
Sekikou nodded and said:
"Yo Xi, Mr. Otani is indeed a master of China. Their purpose is to force the imperial army to withdraw from Wangcun. They might even ambush the imperial army on the road. This is a good plan."
Captain Otani said in shock:
"Taniguchi-kun, you mean they might be surrounding the area for reinforcements? Then the imperial army can't be fooled by them!"
Taniguchi also pretended to be inscrutable and said:
“Yo Xi, the Tao is as high as the devil, Tubal Road is cunning and cunning, the imperial army can only be more cunning than them;
Don't worry, the fish didn't take the bait, they won't eat the bait easily. There is a small group of Imperial Army warriors and a company of Imperial Army soldiers stationed at the Lingshi station. There is no heavy firepower on Tubal Road, so they can't take the Lingshi.
We continued to send troops to Liuzhuang and Cao Village to catch them off guard. Taking advantage of the absence of Tubal Road in Liuzhuang and Cao Village, we massacred these two villages first!
Didn’t Tubal Road claim to be the people’s army? When the imperial army is having a carnival in Liuzhuang, can they still be in the mood to attack Lingshi? "
"Taniguchi-kun, you're so tall!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The two Japs, who had been holding back their bad feelings, looked at each other in a similar way, making them unfathomable. They had really seen too much of the Three Kingdoms, and they all liked to show off.
Due to Taniguchi's impromptu initiative, they did not return to aid Lingshi as Xiong Jun and others expected;
Instead, they unexpectedly came to Liuzhuang and Caocun. The defenses of these two villages were far inferior to Wangcun. The militia company only had a few dozen people and could not stop the attack of more than 200 Japanese.
The Japanese's abnormal behavior disrupted the company's deployment and made Xiong Jun's packed pockets useless. Now Liuzhuang is in trouble...
"If the enemy changes, I will change! Since we can't fight an ambush, we can fight mobile warfare with the Japanese. We now have a platoon of more than 500 main soldiers. Although it is difficult to deal with more than 200 Japanese, it is not impossible!
Notify Deng Wu and ask his militia company to harass the Japanese along the way and delay their movements;
The soldiers of Liuzhuang and Cao Village organized the villagers to evacuate, just in case. If the Japanese wanted to enter the village, they would let them in and use tunnel warfare to hold them back;
Inform the main force of the third platoon to quickly capture the Lingshi stronghold, and then rush to Liuzhuang to participate in the encirclement and annihilation battle against the Japanese..."
The plan could not keep up with the changes. Because the Japanese changed their minds, they returned to Deng Wu's original plan.
The difference is that the more than 200 puppet troops accompanying the battle have been annihilated, and the Japanese have lost a lot of troops in Wangcun. Now there are only more than 200 Japanese soldiers left, which is much easier to fight.
