"Bagaya Deer!"
Kishida no longer cared about his image at this time. He was jumping on the spot and yelling angrily. He even had a tongue-in-cheek tone when shouting.
Will these Chinese people just run away?
He had lost count of how many waves of enemies he had repulsed.
It should be at least a dozen times, right?
This average of two kilometers is a blocking position
Every time, trenches were dug and bunkers were placed.
As a result, he fired a few shots and ran away every time.
At first, Kishida ordered a pursuit and destroyed bunkers and so on.
However, there were only a few people in the entire position, and they were all like rabbits. It was impossible to catch up even if they tried to run away, and occasionally there were a few landmines.
I had no choice but to stop and repair myself before moving on.
But soon they encountered the next blocking position.
The scene just now was replayed.
There are only a few people on the Eighth Route Army dispatched at a time, and different teams are responsible for each blocking position.
But the devils are the same group.
Nearly two hundred people were fooled around by a dozen people every time. No matter how stupid the commander was, it was impossible not to take countermeasures.
Immediately ordered the detachment (13 people) as a unit to take turns to explore forward for reconnaissance.
Once a blocking position is discovered, a feint attack will be carried out. If it is the same small group of enemies as before, the false attack will be turned into reality and the defenders will be driven back.
But their movements were clearly visible to the observation posts that had been disguised long ago.
There are two people at each observation post.
One person goes to report the news, and the other continues to observe in case there are changes.
After the person who reported the report retreated to a safe area, he took out two small flags and held them crossed over his head to join forces, and held them apart on both sides to separate forces.
Another person two hundred meters away immediately made the same move after seeing it.
There is another soldier two hundred meters behind this man...
Just like that, one by one.
The Eighth Route Army used this crude method to set up a primitive communication network between each blocking position.
The Japanese had no idea about this.
In this way, the enemies of Kishida Squadron seemed to have turned on the full picture display and knew their movements as well as the back of their hands.
When the detachment came to conduct reconnaissance, they still could only see a few sporadic enemies.
When they attacked, they found that the number of people and equipment on the opposite side were several times that of theirs.
The end can be imagined.
When the few remaining people withdrew in disgrace, Kishida felt that he could finally have a good fight with the Eighth Route Army, but found that the opponent had long since disappeared.
Originally, Kishida wasn't that angry.
It's just a tactic to tire out the enemy, what a big deal.
If the opponent was just a group of reckless men who didn't know tactics, how could they have fought against them for so long under the eyes of the imperial army?
The stronger the enemy, the more extraordinary he is, which is a good thing.
The Yangquan headquarters may have seen his achievements and no longer asked him to retreat. Instead, he forcefully ordered him to speed up and rush to Shouyang.
Especially from Shouyang, there were even three telegrams a minute.
"The enemy is so vulnerable, the bastards over at Yangquan actually say they can't stand it anymore!"
"What a waste! What a waste!"
Qi Gui Qi, but Kishida has nothing to say. If others are not stupid, how can they show his power?
"Go forward at full speed! If you encounter a blocking position, attack directly without reconnaissance with firepower!"
"Hi!"
As expected, none of the blocking positions encountered much resistance.
There are some added casualties, but it is absolutely acceptable in the face of the increased speed.
This short distance of more than 40 kilometers was delayed by these complete positions but few people guarding them for nearly a day.
When they arrived less than two kilometers away from the Shouyang stronghold, they could already hear the sound of fierce fighting.
But such a short section, even a distance that could be covered in a few minutes with an all-out charge, was stubbornly held back by the last line of defense.
The troops originally responsible for attacking Shouyang should have been the 16th Regiment and the 772nd Regiment of the 386th Brigade.
However, due to changes in the timeline, the 16th Regiment was pulled over by Commander Chen to fight Yuci.
But in contrast, as the core battlefield for winning the three major strongholds, the 772nd Regiment has also received enviable reinforcements.
Not only were there countless weapons and ammunition, but 2,000 people from the local army were also transferred to support them.
As the top priority, Madman Wang personally commanded the original old troops to encircle and attack from the south, north and west.
The city towers and bunkers that should have caused our army to suffer heavy losses received cordial condolences from recoilless rifles at the first opportunity.
It was destroyed immediately before it could play any role.
With the suppression of mortars and machine guns, our army quickly entered the city.
It is different from a stronghold like Yuci where an isolated city is surrounded and has no escape route.
The soldiers here don't have to bite the bullet and fight for their lives against the Japanese.
They were more like herding sheep, slowly forcing the Japanese army to the east of the city.
And this is exactly the direction of Kishida's reinforcements.
"Major Fujimoto, the Eighth Route Army's offensive is too fierce, and they have obtained new equipment specially designed to deal with fortresses. Now 80% of our bunkers are gone!"
"Nani? Where are they now?"
"It's only a few blocks away from our headquarters!"
"Where are Kishida's reinforcements?"
"It was blocked two kilometers away. Thousands of people from the Eighth Route Army came this time. By the time they rush over, I'm afraid this place has already been lost!"
"Where are the gas bombs? Use gas bombs to force them back! Buy time for Kishida Squadron!"
"The gas bomb warehouse has long been captured by the Eighth Route Army."
Major Fujimoto was stunned. It seemed that the Eighth Route Army was really prepared this time.
They have found a way to break all the reliance they have on their side.
Immediately, Fujimoto showed his fierce look, his eyes filled with determination, and ordered loudly:
"The Chinese have bullied me too much! Our army has no retreat. We organize the remaining people to go to civilian houses to capture the Chinese as shields, and hold on to the fortress position, waiting for Kishida's reinforcements!"
"Major! We have no way out!"
The second lieutenant on the side was naturally not opposed to arresting civilians as shields.
He just couldn't accept it, so he gave up treatment and resigned himself to fate.
"The east side of the city has not been attacked. It is still in our hands. The distance is two kilometers. It only takes one charge to reach Kishida Squadron."
"So what?! This time the Eighth Route Army is coming with a force that is ten times ours. It is obvious that they must win this place. Even if Kishida Squadron comes in, it is only a matter of time before everyone is shattered!"
"My Excellency, Major, the whole of North China is in chaos right now, and fighting is happening everywhere. I just received a telegram saying that Yangquan has also been besieged."
"The hundred or so members of Kishida Squadron are already the only troops in our brigade that are still active outside."
"What? You mean Yangquan is also in danger?" Major Fujimoto's body stiffened, and the determination in his eyes disappeared visibly.
It's not that he cares much about Katayama's safety, he's just thinking about himself.
The trick played by the Eighth Route Army was Wei Sanqueyi, who was mentioned badly in military books.
At the grassroots level, as long as there is a little hope of breaking out alive, they will have some concerns during battle and will not be able to exert their full combat effectiveness.
But at the commander's level, it has another meaning.
This is what the commander on the other side tells you clearly, I have no intention of annihilating you.
Killing you is not my goal, this city is my goal.
Under normal circumstances, the commander would have to consider whether it was a strategy to lure the snake out of its hole.
But this time it was different.
The direction they let you go is exactly the direction from which reinforcements are coming.
It shows that this direction is safe.
Moreover, the top management of this kind of county that has access to trains attaches great importance to it.
Once this battle is over, the Japanese army must mobilize heavy troops to recapture it.
With the ability of the Eighth Route Army, it is impossible to defend it.
This is equivalent to a direct showdown with the person playing against you.
I just want this place, just to look good on my face.
Even if your Japanese army is very powerful and can defeat ten of them, I have brought 20 times as many people and have special weapons for attacking fortresses, so I really won’t be able to defeat you.
A way out has been left for you. Both sides can save a few casualties. There is no need for us to fight to the death.
It can be said that Major Fujimoto understood the other party's hint immediately.
But the question is, does he dare?
There has been no such precedent since the war began on the Chinese battlefield.
I'm ten times better than you, why do I need to care about what you think?
The fewer people you die, the more confident you will be to fight against me.
Even if you want to surrender to the Japanese Empire in the end, you will still use the army in your hands as capital to open your mouth to us lions.
What's more, the more people I kill, the less you dare to resist, and the sooner you can occupy all of China.
But now the offensive and defensive positions have really changed, and the opponent is ten times stronger.
To break through and retreat directly would be cowardice and defection.
But reinforcing Yangquan is completely different. It's called actively looking for fighters.
This is a reasonable step down.
"Order, gather the troops, go out of the city to reinforce Kishida Squadron, and move towards Yangquan!"
