The war will continue, but the casualties of veterans do make Dragon Boat Festival feel a little painful.
Although it is said that no one is immune to death in a war. But it is undeniable that the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment is gradually weakened.
But on the contrary, although the little devils suffered heavy casualties, they were all well-trained veterans.
The little devils have not been idle since they occupied the Northeast. In just six years, they have more than doubled their military strength. The total strength reached 450,000.
Moreover, these devils have been trained for six years and are very powerful.
And this is also the reason why China lost the battle in Songhu even though it had an absolute superior force.
So what should we do in the face of such a fierce enemy?
One word - lie!
Duanwu once told Xie Jinyuan and Zhao Beishan. In addition to some conventional tactics, there are only two words in war, one is hiding and the other is cheating.
Hiding means hiding oneself from being discovered by the enemy, attacking decisively, and killing with one blow.
This hidden word was used many times in the tactics before the Dragon Boat Festival. Quiet as a virgin, active as a rabbit.
As for deception, Dragon Boat Festival also used it many times, such as deceiving the Japanese to seize the commanding heights on the left and right sides of Sihang Warehouse.
In fact, Dragon Boat Festival had already buried explosives in those two buildings.
But Duanwu still tricked them into committing suicide, and in the end, all the smug Japanese who finally broke into the building were buried in the ruins of the building.
And it's the same today, the Dragon Boat Festival deceived the Japanese again.
On the phone, when he heard that Yang Huimin would send them a battle flag, he came up with such a clever plan.
Ask Yang Huimin to stay close to the south bank when swimming in the water. This will not only prevent the patrol police on the south bank from seeing her, but also attract the attention of the Japanese.
Of course, the British also contributed a lot here.
The British consul, under pressure from the Japanese, blocked the entire south bank of the Suzhou River. This provides a reasonable explanation for Yang Huimin's wandering in Suzhou and Hanoi.
The Japs noticed Yang Huimin, and there were Japs who wanted to shoot her. But the Japanese officer said that he would report it to the captain of the Imperial Guards.
So Konwei Xun got the news and sent people to watch Yang Huimin's every move, and finally discovered this shipping waterway.
Konoe was very happy and formulated a detailed battle plan for this purpose.
If his plan can be implemented, then the bet to capture the Sihang Warehouse in three hours tomorrow will be completely unnecessary.
Because tonight, all the Chinese defenders in the Sihang Warehouse will be killed by his death squads.
Isao Konoe organized a suicide squad and launched suicide attacks not once or twice.
Just when the Japs were planning to seize the commanding heights around the Sihang Warehouse, more than a hundred Japs formed a suicide squad and launched a suicide attack on the Sihang Warehouse.
Although, all the Japanese death squads were eventually wiped out. But the little devil still grabbed the commanding heights around Sihang Warehouse.
Of course, although these devils could not escape death, they said that this kind of suicidal attack by the little devil was still very bluffing.
So at around 11 o'clock that night, little Japanese soldiers, all shirtless and with bayonets in their mouths, floated into the waterway of Sihang Warehouse.
They touched it from the river and were a little happy. Because in the waterway, the Chinese had no defense at all.
Not far away, a dozen Chinese soldiers were sleeping soundly, and the sentry's attention was also outside the warehouse.
One of the Japanese officers was a little excited, lowered his voice and said to the other Japanese officer beside him:
"Little Inu-kun, the time has come for us to make a contribution. His Excellency Isao Konoe has a brilliant plan. He knew that the Chinese people are still waiting for the decisive battle tomorrow. But little did they know that we have discovered this secret waterway."
"Yes, Koizumi-kun. This time, we have done a lot of credit. As long as we deal with the enemies on the first floor of the warehouse, Lord Konoe Isao will rush over with the imperial army.
And when that time comes, these abominable group of China pigs will only become meat on our chopping board. "
"Hmph! The Chinese people, I'm afraid they never dreamed that we would have a sneak attack tonight and discover this waterway, right?"
"Youhe, what are we waiting for? On my side, on your side, kill all those Chinese pigs."
The two Japs, Captain Cao, each selected a target and led the Japs one by one to climb ashore.
One, two, three,...ten, twenty,...one hundred,...
At this moment, nearly a hundred Japanese soldiers quietly climbed onto the shore, preparing to launch a sneak attack on the sleeping soldiers of the Independence Regiment.
But at this moment, a Japanese soldier just raised the knife in his hand and was about to attack a sleeping soldier. The sleeping soldier suddenly opened his eyes.
The rifle in his hand pulled the trigger, and the 7.92mm rifle bullet not only penetrated the little devil's chest at close range, but also directly knocked the little devil away.
"Nani?"
Xiao Quan and Xiao Quan were shocked and suddenly felt that they had been cheated. Because all the soldiers who were sleeping suddenly opened their eyes and shot at them.
When soldiers are sleeping, there are either no bullets in the gun or the safety is turned off. But the other party shot directly. In other words, the bullet was pushed into the barrel of the gun and has been waiting for them?
"Retreat, retreat, the Chinese are already prepared."
The two Japanese officers gave loud orders, and the Japanese quickly ran towards the water.
But at this time, they wanted to leave, but it was already too late.
On the second floor of Sihang Warehouse, when a dark green tarpaulin was lifted up, the muzzles of five black machine guns were all exposed. They aimed at the Japanese on the shore and fired wildly.
The little devil was shot dead on the spot, and more than thirty little devils were beaten into a sieve. The little devil's body lay on the ground.
Koizumi fled with the rest of the Japanese and jumped into the water again.
The machine gun fired randomly into the water, but the effect was no longer great.
Xie Jinyuan was sighing and letting the Japanese go. But at this moment, a cable with flashing electric sparks fell into the water.
The lights in the four-row warehouse flickered on and off. After a while, the little devil's body floated up like a cooked dumpling.
Duanwu stood on the second floor of Sihang Warehouse, threw the half-smoked cigarette in his hand into the water, and then said nonchalantly: "Clean this place up."
"Yes, Danzao!"
Zhu Shengzhong responded with a smile. He never obeyed others, but at this time he was willing to follow the Dragon Boat Festival horse's lead.
Dragon Boat Festival is a god in his eyes. Although he had just arrived at Sihang Warehouse, he wanted to give Duan Wu a showdown.
But unfortunately, it was him who was repaired in the end.
After that, Duanwu's superb command ability made killing Japanese as easy as eating and drinking.
Although they also had casualties, more than 2,800 Japanese soldiers...
No, after tonight's battle, I'm afraid the number of casualties among the little devils will increase to 3,000! ...
