Under the Dragon Boat Festival attack, the Utamaro Squadron once again suffered heavy losses.
Dragon Boat Festival asked the special forces to clean the battlefield, and after checking, more than fifty Japanese died. In other words, no more than forty Japanese escaped, and a large amount of weapons and equipment were left behind.
The little Japanese escaped in a hurry. Some heavy weapons, explosives, grenades, etc. were not taken away and were all left in the camp.
At this time, these things all belong to the Dragon Boat Festival.
Duanwu had new ideas when he looked at these weapons and equipment, so he was not in a hurry to pursue them, because these Japanese soldiers were already a group of defeated soldiers. They have two options. The first option is to escape to the main peak of Pingshan to linger. The other option is to just run away.
Of course, there is also a third option, which is to hide in the woods and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
But from Lao Baanpan's description, I'm afraid the Japanese don't have the guts. When Lao Abacus and his men fired at the Japs with machine guns, the Japs didn't even have the intention to fight back and just left behind the thirty-eight corpses and fled.
Therefore, Duanwu had reason to believe that the Japanese had made up their mind to leave, and Nineteen Eighty-Nine had gone to the main peak of Pingshan to wait for help.
Because the Japanese reinforcements will arrive within two hours, and if the Japanese have escaped now, then the reinforcements will be tricked by them. Dragon Boat Festival didn't believe that the little devil could be that stupid. Reinforcements arrived immediately but they fled.
So Utamaru Squadron Dano ignored it for the time being, and focused all his attention on Inomura Jiro, who was about to rush for reinforcements.
Because we knew from the previous Japanese military telegrams that the Utamaro Squadron had only such a supporting force near Hirayama. The other Japanese troops are much further away than Inomura Jiro.
Therefore, Dragon Boat Festival has every chance to kill the Inomura Jiro squadron and completely smash the Japanese encirclement and annihilation plan.
In other words, even though they were just two Japanese squadrons, these two Japanese squadrons completely bankrupted the Japanese army's encirclement and annihilation plan.
Takeshita Shun's plan is to mobilize two Japanese brigade: Fujiyama brigade and Kira brigade.
The Fujiyama Brigade set up defenses with two squadrons from the west and northwest direction, and two squadrons conducted searches.
Order the Kira Brigade to set up defenses with two squadrons from the east and southeast direction, and the two squadrons will conduct searches.
They will meet at fifty miles northwest of Pingshan and build a temporary base there.
If Jun Takeshita still fails to catch up with the Chinese special forces after arriving at Luohun Stream, he will also return to this base. Then one squadron was stationed in the camp, and the other Japanese troops returned to their original positions, where they began their search.
At this time, the checkpoint will be moved forward 20 kilometers due to the strengthening of troops, a new checkpoint will be established again, and infantry will be sent out to search again.
The cycle starts again and again, and within three days, Dragon Boat Festival and others will be compressed into a jungle of only a few square kilometers and become caged beasts.
However, what would happen if the Dragon Boat Festival wanted to destroy the two squadrons of the Japanese army?
Jun Takeshita's troops will be obviously insufficient to effectively set up checkpoints, and there will not be enough troops to search in the jungle.
And when that time comes, Duanwu will have too many choices if he wants to escape from the enemy's encirclement.
Either march westward through the Japanese fire line and circle back to the Nanjing battlefield from the rear, or go north to Shandong and do the same. Anyway, this battle in Xuzhou must be fought, go early or late. When you arrive in Shandong, you might be able to meet Chief of Staff Li from the Fifth War Zone. It would be a good idea to discuss life with him.
Of course, this depends on Li Zhongren not killing him.
So no matter what the subsequent plan is, these two Japanese squadrons must eat him during the Dragon Boat Festival.
Of course, the troops are insufficient, but Dragon Boat Festival has many methods.
Dragon Boat Festival asked Pang Hu to take eight people and carry the grenades of the Japs to the main peak of Pingshan to continue to entangle the Utamaru squadron. The firearms used were a machine gun and seven Type 38 rifles.
But Pang Hu brought five wounded soldiers. These wounded soldiers were not seriously injured. They were all slightly injured and could still move. Otherwise, they would have been left behind after running for so long.
So Danwu asked Pang Hu to take them to entangle the remnants of Utamaru Squadron. And he took the remaining seventeen people, including Lao Baanpan, to the Black Mountain Col with a large number of explosives and grenades.
Black Mountain Col is the only way for Inomura Jiro Squadron to go to Pingshan. Perhaps they had many options for their route of action before, but there was only Black Mountain Col that he could not bypass.
And during the Dragon Boat Festival, this group of Japs will be wiped out in Heishan'ao.
Of course, brute force alone is not enough. The special team led by Dragon Boat Festival only has seventeen people, and the hard steel of the Inomura Squadron can only ask for trouble. Because the opponent is a squadron with ten times their strength. No matter how powerful his soldiers are in combat, they cannot defeat ten little Japs one by one.
And in a head-on confrontation, the casualties among the special operations team members will definitely be huge.
Therefore, Dragon Boat Festival would not be so stupid as to fight the Japs one by one in Heishan'ao. Instead, they would plant a large amount of explosives and grenades in advance to destroy the little Japs directly, and then defeat them one by one.
Of course, this is a technical job. When planting grenades and explosives, Duanwu personally guided him. Because if one explosion point is not exploded, it will affect other explosion points.
This is called a chain thunder, which affects the whole body. When the explosion occurs, the entire Pig Village Squadron will be caught in a series of explosions.
And in order to increase the lethality, not only seven to eight grenades but also at least one kilogram of TNT were planted in one explosion point.
In order to increase the power of the explosion, Dragon Boat Festival asked the soldiers to pick up some gravel and spread it on top of the explosive.
Twenty-four such explosive spots were buried in the Dragon Boat Festival, divided into east and west sides. There are exactly 12 fried points on each side, connected to each other with hemp rope, and then the hemp rope is hidden under the leaves.
In this way, a chain of mines is formed, with twelve explosive points. As long as one is detonated during the Dragon Boat Festival, the rest of the explosive points will explode instantly.
After all arrangements were completed, Duanwu asked Lao Abacus and his men to ambush on the west side of the col, while he and seven men waited on the east side.
Everything is ready and the time is just right.
Duanwu and others had not even been hiding for ten minutes when they saw fire in the distance, and a long fire dragon was approaching quickly.
Danwu took out his binoculars and saw with the help of the torch in the Japs' hands that this Japanese squadron was obviously more numerous than the Utamaro squadron.
The total strength of the Utamaru Squadron is only about 160 people, while the Inomura Squadron has a visual estimate of at least 180 people, and they have two carriages pulling weapons and equipment. This is much more prepared than the Utamaru Squadron.
Looking at the extremely rich man in front of him, Duan Wu pursed his lips and smiled, because with these things, he would arrange for Takeshita Jun next.
This naughty little devil chased him for two days and two nights and he didn't even know he was tired! ...
ps: Thanks to brother 'Long Lovexuan' for the tip, thank you!
