boom! Bang bang!
Following the Japanese at Dragon Boat Festival was not just to watch the fun. He wanted to lure away the Japanese Fifth Brigade and create conditions for Zhou Weiguo to completely annihilate the Japanese Third Brigade.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, he ambushed the Japs in the woods and killed more than a dozen of the Japs' vanguard troops.
Naturally, the Japanese would not let Duanwu go if they suffered a loss. They howled and followed Duanwu and others.
After just a moment of pursuit, Captain Asuka of the Fifth Battalion felt something was wrong. His mission was to rush to support the missing Third Battalion, and he was not here to play a cat-and-mouse game with the Chinese.
He immediately ordered the pursuing troops to come back and continue to search for the final position sent by the third group.
At this time, Lao Snoring said that he would take his men to fight the Japanese again, but Duanwu said, "The little Japanese are getting smarter and smarter as they fight. Now they are very cautious. I am afraid that our harassment will not play a key role."
Lao Snoring said: "It would be great if we brought a radio station."
Duanwu said: "We have three radio stations in total. Commander Qiu brought one, Zhou Weiguo brought one, and I asked Sun Shiyu to take the other one. After all, they have to go with Zhou Weiguo and Qiu Ming to encircle and annihilate the Japanese Third Brigade. If there is no How can the radio station cooperate?”
Lao Shou nodded helplessly, because it was too inconvenient not to have a radio station, and now he didn't even know what was going on with Sun Shiyu.
However, at this moment, the special forces team member who had gone to deliver the order ran back panting. When he saw Duanwu and others, he sat down on the ground and gasped violently.
He had traveled more than ten kilometers back and forth, and the cotton-padded jacket on his body was soaked through, and steam was coming out from his hat.
Lao Snoring asked anxiously: "How's it going?"
Dragon Boat Festival stopped Lao Snoring at this time, and said to the soldier: "Don't be anxious, take your breath first."
"Water, water!"
The soldier asked for water, but just as Lao Shou was about to give it to him, Duanwu stopped him: "Wait a minute, if he wants to drink a lot of water, his lungs will explode."
After that, he told the soldier: "You can drink less and just moisten your throat, do you hear me?"
The soldier was speechless and could only nod. Duanwu took a kettle and fed the soldier water. He only let him take a small sip and then took it down, waiting for him to breathe again.
After a while, the soldier finally said: "Captain Zhou and the others are in trouble. The Japs were not completely wiped out, but they were forced into a funnel-shaped mountain col. The maximum slope there is 40 degrees. There are three slopes from the slope to the bottom of the col. More than a hundred meters away. The Japs have a bunker about fifty meters away from the bottom of the col. It will be difficult for our people to rush down and wipe out all the Japs. Commander Zhou asked me to come back and report to you. What should they do? Otherwise, we can only launch a full-scale charge into the mountain col and fight the Japanese with bayonets."
"This won't work. Many people will die."
Duanwu just listened to Zhou Weiguo's plan and felt that it was not possible, because it would cause a lot of casualties. Even if the Japanese Independent Regiment, the 522nd Regiment, the Hutou Mountain Independent Regiment and a group of bandits were all wiped out, they would not be able to fight anymore. .
The Dragon Boat Festival cannot allow such a thing to happen, but how can we eliminate the Japanese without causing heavy casualties?
And the speed must be fast, otherwise with the speed of the little devils, they will hear the gunfire within five minutes and arrive at the battlefield within thirty minutes. By that time, Zhou Weiguo and others were attacked from both sides and had to retreat even if they didn't want to.
"Our current strength is not enough to fight against the two Japanese brigades, even if these two Japanese brigades have suffered heavy losses."
Duanwu frowned, because he encountered another extremely complicated situation. It would be great if Zhou Weiguo, Commander Qiu, and Sun Shiyu could annihilate the Third Brigade before the Japanese Fifth Brigade arrived, because in this way, the Japanese Army's Third Brigade The fifth team is here to deliver food.
But now the third brigade has not been annihilated, but the fifth brigade has arrived, so they will be trapped in the dilemma of being attacked from both sides by the enemy.
Of course, what Duanwu never imagined was that his danger was not just that, because the reconnaissance plane of the Little Japs had arrived near Datoushan and was conducting reconnaissance on the battle situation here, so as to carry out bombing of Chinese military positions or assembly areas. position.
Therefore, when Sakata said that he would use aircraft and cannons to deal with the Dragon Boat Festival, he was definitely not just talking about it.
But at this time, Duanwu had no time to think about this. He needed to make a decision on how to kill the Japs in the col in a very short period of time, and then turn back and annihilate the Japs' fifth brigade.
In his brain, he constantly used his own thinking to recast the information that brought the soldiers back, and displayed the scene of the battlefield eight kilometers away in his brain:
The funnel-shaped mountain col is surrounded by mountains. It is more than 300 meters from the top to the foot of the mountain. The devils hid fifty meters away from the bottom of the valley, where there were rocks as shelters.
In other words, Zhou Weiguo and others are more than 250 meters away from the Japs. At this distance, our shooting skills cannot confront the Japs head-on, unless we are the sharpshooters in the team.
The charge distance of two hundred and fifty meters will also cause huge losses to our side.
Zhou Weiguo used a grenade to bombard the Japanese, but it had little effect, because if he shot at the valley bottom, the angle of the grenade would be very high, and the slope of the valley bottom was about 40 degrees, making it difficult to cause effective damage.
It's no wonder that Zhou Weiguo has nothing to do. Is there only one way to charge?
Duanwu frowned again and paced back and forth, but at this moment, he suddenly saw Lao Shou who was smoking.
When Lao Snoring saw Duan Wu looking over, he quickly put his pipe on his back and pretended to be nonchalant, because during the investigation, Lao Snoring had scolded him many times for smoking Duan Wu. But this is what Lao Snoring is like.
Of course, he would definitely not smoke close to the kid. He knew that smoking would expose himself, so he waited for his free time to smoke, or when the kid was far away, he could take a puff.
But when Duanwu looked over, he instinctively carried the pot on his back.
But behind him was a evergreen coniferous tree, and the pipe pot happened to be pressed against the pine leaves. The pine leaves smoked when exposed to an open flame and caught fire in a moment.
A soldier saw it and quickly put it out. This prevented a big mistake, otherwise the pine branches would have been impossible to put out.
At this moment, Lao Shou quickly apologized: "Hey Tuanzu, the last time, the last time, if I do it again, I will puff out this cigarette bag."
Lao Snoring swore, but at this time, Duanwu ignored it at all because he had already thought of a way. As the saying goes: Fire and water are merciless. Once these two things go wild, there is no telling how many people will die.
Thinking of this, Duanwu quickly ordered: "Send power to Zhou Weiguo immediately and tell him to burn the Japanese Third Brigade and don't let anyone escape!..."
