The captain of the Japanese 150th Regiment, Kanazawa Kaiichi, was restless, and the think tank Endo was also thinking hard.
Because their opponents were too strong, not only could they see through the weaknesses of the pocket formation at a glance, but they were also eating away at their strength bit by bit like ants eating elephants.
Of course, it is still unknown who is the elephant at this time, because Kanazawa Kaiichi and Endo only saw the tip of the iceberg of the 51st Army.
They simply thought that the 51st Army only came with one regiment, plus an artillery battalion.
But even so, after losing two squadrons of the Kumagawa Battalion and two squadrons of No. 1 and No. 2, the total force they could use was insufficient.
There are still three squadrons of imperial troops on position three and four, and nearly two squadrons of imperial troops on position six.
The remaining little devils are all on position five, and the total will not exceed five squadrons.
Endo didn't know how long these ten squadrons of imperial troops could resist, because in addition to the guards, there was also a baggage brigade.
Moreover, their truck was still between position three and position five. If position three was occupied, their truck would be unusable. Endo simply did not believe that their enemies would let them swagger down the mountain and get in the car. leave.
Endo was thinking about whether to make a strategic retreat first, but at this moment, there was the faint roar of an aircraft engine coming from his southeast direction.
Endo looked around and was overjoyed, because it turned out that the Imperial Air Force had arrived to support him.
It turned out that just before, when positions No. 7 and No. 6 were constantly harassed by the Dragon Boat Festival, Endo sent a message to the headquarters and requested air support.
The headquarters agreed to Endo's request, but this time, the Japanese aircraft were obviously not as many as before, with only fifteen bombers escorted by two fighter jets.
In many air raids, the Little Japanese's aerial bombs were also stretched, and the flying brigade suffered huge losses.
What's more, Nanjing's defenders fled and Japanese planes were chasing them. And those broken troops were much easier to bomb than the Dragon Boat Festival.
Therefore, the little devil could only temporarily transfer a flying group and several seconded fighters to temporarily form a flying formation to come for support.
Endo looked through the telescope. Although there were not as many aircraft as last time, the Imperial fighter planes with air superiority will play a vital role in this battle. As long as they can defeat the Dragon Boat Festival, then they will win this battle. There is still a chance for a comeback.
Thinking of this, Endo quickly ordered to the communications soldier: "You, call me the flying brigade immediately, tell them that there are our enemies in Highland No. 7 and the nearby woods, let them bomb, and they must severely damage the enemy."
"Hi!"
The little Japanese communications soldier took the order, and then began to call the Japanese flying brigade, asking them to annihilate the enemies on Highland 7!
················
At the same time, Duanwu, who was located on Highland No. 7, naturally heard the sound of the aircraft engine.
Duanwu looked out with a telescope, but saw that the Japanese plane was flying from the southeast, and it would probably reach the sky above Highland No. 7 in less than ten minutes.
Last time, Dragon Boat Festival gave the Japanese a wrong signal and caused the Japanese plane to bomb the Sakata Regiment by mistake, causing the entire Sakata Regiment to be almost wiped out.
But this time, can he still do it?
The same strategy cannot be used twice against the Japanese. Otherwise, if any accident occurs, every living life will fall to the Japanese bombing.
Moreover, these Japanese planes cannot be allowed to drop bombs on the Northeastern Army, because the Northeastern Army has more people and will suffer heavy casualties once it is attacked by the Japanese army.
Of course, Duanwu would never have imagined that the little devil's target this time was him and not the Northeastern Army.
And this is Endo's brilliance. If the Dragon Boat Festival is defeated, it will be useless no matter how fiercely the Northeast Army fights. His reinforcements will arrive soon. If the Northeast Army dares to come out of the solid defenses at this time, he does not mind gathering a few regiments. The troops launched a melee in the Yandang Mountain area.
Therefore, the Endo Japanese had a very far-sighted vision. If the Dragon Boat Festival hadn't gotten into the Japanese's belly like a monkey, I'm afraid the Northeast Army would have suffered a big loss this time.
As a result, the Dragon Boat Festival became the target of public criticism and became a serious problem for the Japanese.
At the same time, the Dragon Boat Festival naturally cannot sit still and wait for death.
Although if he repeats his old tricks, it is very likely that the Japanese will see through him, he still needs to make more preparations.
Duanwu ordered: "Contact Lao Qiu immediately and ask him to set fire in the forest. The sooner the better, the fire must be big and there must be thick smoke. Remember, don't set the fire in one place, but spread it to several places. Quickly , be fast!”
Duanwu gave a loud order, and then asked the soldiers on the mountain to immediately change into the clothes of the Japanese and put up the Japanese war flag on position 7.
Of course, these must not be discovered by the little devils, otherwise it will be difficult to deceive the devils.
And Dragon Boat Festival asked the communications troops to capture the frequency of the Japanese military radio, monitor it, and try to connect to the Japanese on the plane.
In other words, Dragon Boat Festival is about to start deceiving people again.
When he was at Sihang Warehouse, Duanwu told Xie Jinyuan what tactics were. There was only one word for tactics, which was deception.
If you have deceived the enemy, then you will win; otherwise, if the enemy has deceived you, then only death will be waiting for you.
As the creator of deception tactics, Duan Wu is naturally very skilled in deception. This time he wants to deceive the Japanese so that the Japanese will not only fail to bomb him, but also lead the Japanese bombs to the enemy's position.
Just as Duanwu was changing into the clothes of a Japanese officer, the communications soldier covered the walkie-talkie with one hand and whispered to Duanwu: "Regiment leader, the Japanese have ordered the flying group to bomb the No. 7 position. What do you think we should do?" "
Duan Wu smiled evilly: "Leave it to me!"
At this time, the communications soldier handed the intercom to Duanwu, and Duanwu panted into the intercom: "Flying Brigade? I am Major Kudo from Position 6."
The flight captain replied: "Kudo-kun, what can I do for you?"
Duanwu continued: "We are encountering an enemy attack. We have many enemies. Please be sure to eliminate them. Also, your course is wrong. I see why you are coming towards my No. 6 Highland. No. 7 Highland is in front of us." On the west side, they are wearing the clothes of the imperial army, you must not be deceived by them."
"Nani? Isn't position No. 7 on the east side?"
The flight captain was very surprised because the intelligence they had just received was that the No. 7 position was at the outermost position in the southeast.
But at this moment, Duanwu let out a long breath and said: "Thanks to me for urgently connecting you, otherwise the soldiers of the empire would have been killed by you. Highland No. 7, northwest of Highland No. 6, you Changing the course can not only severely damage the enemies attacking our No. 6 Highland, but also annihilate the enemies on No. 7 Highland in one fell swoop. Do you understand?
Also, you have to be careful. Our enemies are very cunning. One of them named Duanwu speaks Japanese very well. It is very possible that you have been misled by him. Please be sure to follow my route for bombing, please! ..."
