In the darkness, the defenders in the Womachuan area quietly withdrew from their positions, and one of them, the defenders who retreated to Baijia Town, passed by the foot of the mountain where Dragon Boat Festival was located.
All the troops in the Dragon Boat Festival lay down in the mountain col to rest. Only Duanwu and Lao Abacus lay on the hillside and looked down.
The defenders retreated in such a hurry that they didn't even notice there were people on the mountain.
Dragon Boat Festival lamented that the commander of this unit was careless. If the enemy was ambushing here, none of the people at the foot of the mountain would be able to escape.
Fortunately, the order to retreat at night was delivered by messengers riding fast horses, so the Japanese did not notice it.
And when a Japanese scout discovered that there was no one on the Chinese position, it was already twenty minutes later.
The Japs began to assemble their troops at this time, and it was obvious that they were preparing to pursue them.
The road from the Womachuan area to Changzhou is flat. If the defenders are intercepted here, then the strength of these two regiments will be like giving away.
The Japanese mechanized troops set out first. With extremely fast movements, they drove to intercept the retreating Chinese defenders.
Lao Shou was a little worried when he saw this, because the Chinese defenders evacuated on foot and carried a large number of wounded.
He said to Duanwu: "Tuanzuo, the Womacuan area is only ten kilometers away from Changzhou. The Japanese can catch up in 1989."
Duanwu said: "Wait a little longer."
Duan Wu held the telescope and stared intently. Because he discovered an interesting phenomenon.
The Japanese soldiers are being mobilized and then gearing up to set off. So if they all leave, who will guard the Japanese pre-war headquarters?
Duanwu smiled evilly, because if the little devil's pre-war headquarters was taken away, the little devil would be mad.
However, it seemed that the situation did not develop as he imagined. Although most of the Japanese troops were chasing the retreating Chinese defenders, the Japanese command headquarters still had at least two squadrons of Japanese guards.
Although the headquarters is also packing up and preparing to move, with only 108 people, it is impossible for them to kill all the Japanese in a very short period of time.
Moreover, it is very likely that they stole the chicken but lost the rice. The Japanese did not say anything but were made dumplings by the Japanese.
Because the other Japs had just left, even if they waited a few more minutes, the Japs would still receive the news of the attack on the headquarters. He immediately turned back and surrounded them.
But he was really reluctant to let Duan Wu give up.
Because Duanwu speculated through his observation of the Japanese army that there were at least two Japanese regiments near this pre-war headquarters, it was most likely a brigade-level command post.
This is a big fish, but if the fish is too big, it may lead the angler into the abyss.
Duanwu lay on the ground thinking, but Lao Shou saw Duanwu's thoughts and lowered his voice: "Tuanzuo, do you want to attack the other party's command post? I saw that this is not possible at all. There are at least two Japanese command posts. The guards of a squadron, plus the Japs' communications troops and officers from the headquarters, will be at least four to five hundred people. We only have one hundred and eight people, and we can't eat them."
Dragon Boat Festival got up again and continued to investigate.
He didn't give up, even though he understood what Lao Shou said, but the fish was fat and big, so how could he let it go so easily?
And as a special forces soldier, you often have to face such extremely difficult tasks. Because for ordinary tasks, special forces are not needed at all.
So the more times this happened, the calmer Duanwu became. He carefully observed the Japanese headquarters, including the surrounding areas, and finally discovered the Japanese intentions.
The Japanese headquarters will move forward, then pass through the original Chinese position and fall behind the large Japanese army.
At this time, the Japanese army had left. If they made a surprise attack on the way, they might have some chance of winning.
But this is enough, because in a war there is neither a 100% win nor a 100% loss. Because there are simply too many variables on the battlefield.
And just one variable can often lead a victory to the abyss.
Therefore, Dragon Boat Festival is not 100% sure of success. He needs to take people to the position to take a look. If there was a possibility of a surprise attack, he would never let go of this opportunity.
Because he saw a big fish right in front of him, and just letting him slip past him was a waste of natural resources.
He and Lao Abacus said: "Go and inform everyone to prepare to move to the Womacuan position. You are not allowed to speak or make any noise. Even if you have farts, you have to hold them in your stomach."
"yes!"
Lao Abacus responded and whispered the order again, and then the entire team, under the cover of night, gradually approached the Womachuan position.
There were fires on the position, which were left over from previous battles. Some trees or wood from the fortifications had been ignited, and they have not been extinguished until now.
But this gave the Japanese an opportunity to set up defenses here. There were only a dozen Japanese soldiers setting up a checkpoint here.
The Japanese obviously did not expect that someone would come after the Chinese defenders had retreated.
They faced the east-west highway, as if waiting for the headquarters personnel to pass.
But this created an excellent opportunity for Dragon Boat Festival.
The Japs' headquarters is not ready yet, and they need to carry a lot of things. Many important documents, as well as tents, some weapons and ammunition, etc.
So Dragon Boat Festival has time to do it all.
He called Xu Hu and Lao Shou over and told them with gestures to go around to the opposite side and kill the sentry.
Xu Hu and Lao Shou were both old scouts, and especially Xu Hu, who had received the true message from Zhou Weiguo, so a few Japanese soldiers would not be a problem at all.
As for the south side of the mountain road, Duan Wu led Zhao Weidong and several company-level cadres to quietly explore it.
At this time, the enemy's attention was all in the direction of the headquarters, and some people were even complaining about why the people in the headquarters were so slow.
Because they were standing in the wind at this time, the cold wind at night made them shiver. And because of the rush to get out, they didn't even have time to put on their coats. So when the cold wind blows, my hands and feet are as cold as if they were scratched by a cat.
But this just created an excellent opportunity for the Dragon Boat Festival. Otherwise, the Japanese stood face to face and looked at each other's backs, and they would not be able to attack at all.
So while the Japs were muttering to each other and stamping their feet coldly, Duan Wu, Xu Hu and others started at the same time on both sides of the mountain road, wiping the Japs' neck from behind with a knife.
Duanwu's attack was clean and neat, and the people behind him hadn't caught up yet. The two Japs had already died under his sword.
Although Xu Hu was a little slower, in just one second, two Japanese soldiers were wiped from the neck.
Xu Hu also wanted to kill the third Japanese, but he didn't expect that one of his brothers was not quick enough and actually let the Japanese call out.
The other Japs were alert, but when they turned around, the first thing they saw was a pair of sharp steel knives! ...
