The Duanwu river-crossing operation went very smoothly. After seizing the second patrol boat, all the people were quickly transported to the north bank.
Although the third patrol boat was not far away from them when the soldiers were transported for the last time, the patrol boat did not come forward to inquire about the situation.
Duanwu guessed that the first reason was that the patrol boat was too far away, and the second reason was that it was getting bright and the Japanese saw that the boats were all soldiers of the imperial army, and the patrol boat belonged to them, so they did not bother and continued downstream. Sail away.
Duanwu placed booby traps and explosives on the two Japanese patrol boats before jumping off the boat.
At this time, everyone had arrived, and Lao Baanpan came to report: "Commander, a small group of Japanese soldiers just passed by. I will send them away according to your instructions."
"How long has the other party been gone?"
Duanwu rolled his eyes because he was worried that he had no goals.
Because what was his purpose of crossing the river this time? It was to create the illusion that the independent group had crossed the river.
The Dragon Boat Festival had just avoided a head-on encounter with the Japanese patrol boat because they were from the Army and were not good at water combat. Once the hull was damaged and the fifty-five soldiers on board fell into the water, the possibility of survival would be almost zero.
Therefore, in areas where you are not good at, avoiding combat is also a victory.
But it's different on land. Although there is still no comparison between Duanwu's soldiers and the Japanese's soldiers, he has enough people. With a strength advantage of more than 300 people, coupled with Duanwu's excellent command ability, It is very easy to annihilate a Japanese squad.
But, how can it be an encounter?
In other words, it is easy to kill the Japanese, but it is not easy to make the Japanese think that this is an encounter.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
Otherwise, the Japanese would think, why did the independent regiment attack this Japanese team? There was no encounter between the two sides. It was the Independent Regiment who took the initiative to expose himself. So what was his purpose?
This would violate the original intention of the Dragon Boat Festival plan, and Zhou Wei's ministry would also be put in danger.
In other words, Zhou Weiguo's march to Changzhou with a large force was not without danger. They were very likely to encounter the searching Japanese.
So this is also the reason why Duanwu chose Zhou Weiguo to lead the team. Zhou Weiguo not only received professional military training, but also studied in Germany. Many of his tactics are also remarkable.
In a word, it means that Zhou Weiguo has the qualifications of an excellent commander.
At this time, it seemed that Zhou Weiguo could only serve as a foil to Duanwu. That was because Duanwu was too strong, not because Zhou Weiguo was too weak.
Of course, even so, Dragon Boat Festival must make this scene more realistic.
He asked the soldiers to walk around the river, leaving a lot of footprints, while looking at the map.
The map shows that there is a river bend that winds northward in the upstream position, so the road that was originally about one kilometer apart was forced to create an intersection.
This location is very good. As long as Duanwu leads his people to encounter the Japs here, then kills most of them and lets a few escape, the Japs will know that Duanwu has crossed the river.
Of course, this requires luck, because the little devils have already left ten minutes early, and they have two motorcycles.
The motorcycle was for Japanese officers. It was impossible to run with the soldiers. This is the prerogative of a Japanese officer.
Of course, this requires sufficient conditions. Otherwise, in the absence of motorcycles, the junior officers of the Little Devil can only run with the infantry.
But this is not the point. The point is that Duanwu is wondering whether he can catch up with the opponent and create the illusion of being attacked by a large army.
After a while, Duanwu thought it was possible.
Although the Japs left ten minutes early and had motorcycles, they were on daily patrols rather than marching in a hurry, so the Japs would not be so fast.
Therefore, it is precisely because of this that Duanwu has the possibility to catch up with the opponent and stage a perfect encounter.
"Old Abacus, left with a platoon, leaving no trace of our whereabouts to the Japs except for the footprints of our landing. After completing the mission, meet us at Sanchagou.
Chen Shusheng, you take the rest of the people and follow me. We will chase the Japanese from another way and try to meet them at Sanchagou. "
"Yes, Danzao!"
Lao Abacus took the order and left first with his men to find tools to erase the footprints of the following soldiers.
But at this time, Chen Shusheng thought for a while and said: "Tuanzuo, the distance between us and Sanchagou is about five kilometers longer than that of the little devil, and the other party has been gone for ten minutes. Can we catch up with him?"
Duanwu smiled and said: "It must be possible. The little devil has to walk, but we have to run. Brothers? Can we catch up with the little devil?"
"Yes! Yes!"
When the Dragon Boat Festival roars, all the soldiers drink.
At this time, what the Dragon Boat Festival wants is this kind of momentum. He led the team and ran five kilometers in one breath, and it only took them thirteen minutes to complete the five kilometers.
It can be said that even Duanwu did not expect such a speed. After all, the people he is leading now have never even had systematic training.
Of course, after running such a long distance, many soldiers showed signs of breathlessness.
Dragon Boat Festival saw this and immediately slowed down his running speed and taught all the soldiers the essentials of long-distance running.
Duanwu gave a loud order: "Adjust your breathing, let's run at a constant speed, don't rush, we just need to maintain the current speed, intercepting the little Japanese in Sanchagou is a sure thing."
Now everyone follow me, take a deep breath,...exhale,...breathe,...exhale, okay, you must master this rhythm, and take moderate steps. If the steps are too small, we will use up a lot of energy; if the steps are too big, it will easily pull our hips and sprain our feet..."
While cheering for the soldiers, Dragon Boat Festival explained the key points of long-distance running to the soldiers. Because he doesn't want every soldier in the team to fall behind.
Because falling behind at this time is equivalent to death.
Moreover, the Dragon Boat Festival requires warriors to conserve their physical strength to cope with the upcoming battle.
Although the Japs only have a small team of about fifty-five people, these fifty-five people theoretically have the combat effectiveness of a company. They are even more powerful than a company.
Therefore, to eliminate such a Japanese army requires not only a smart mind but also sufficient physical strength.
Because since it is an encounter, close combat is very likely to occur, and that is when the psychological quality of each warrior will be truly tested.
Hand-to-hand combat is always the cruelest. Maybe one shot and one life from a long distance is nothing to you, but when you get up close, you will see the opponent’s blood flowing with your own eyes. There are broken limbs and broken arms everywhere on the entire battlefield. Even internal organs will burst out from the wounds on the body.
That kind of horrific scene is something that no one can bear.
If the fear brought by artillery attacks to soldiers is one, then the fear of hand-to-hand combat is at least ten, or even a hundred! .....
