Qianxia Zhongzuo was slightly happy when he heard the report from his scouts.
Like his scouts, he believed that the Yoshida Battalion was as cowardly as a rat. It was as if they were faced with a formidable enemy against only two companies, and they fought for so long without repelling their enemies. It was almost embarrassing. Brighten the face of the Japanese Imperial Army.
So at this time, Chinatsu Japanese had the intention of teaching Yoshida Battalion a lesson and letting Yoshida Battalion see how his Chinatsu Battalion fought.
"Order the First Squadron to quickly occupy the mountain southeast of Jiapigou and attack the enemy with the Yoshida Brigade.
The Second Infantry Squadron was ordered to fight in a detour to the enemy's right rear, with the purpose of blocking the enemy's retreat.
Order the 3rd Infantry Squadron to launch a sheep attack on the enemies on the northeastern highlands, forcing them to abandon the highlands and fall into our trap.
The rest of the people are waiting and watching the battle with me. Humph, I can't imagine that the results will be available in half an hour. "
Qianxia Zhongzuo sneered, already determined to defeat the Chinese army that was separated from him by a mountain.
In his opinion, these Northeastern troops are simply acting like a mantis.
Of course, the Qianxia Japanese would never have imagined that it was not the Northeast Army that was in danger now, but himself. He had already fallen into the trap prepared for him by Dragon Boat Festival.
However, why did Duanwu wait for Zhou Wei's troops to drive over, and then use his own special agent battalion to ambush the Qianxia Infantry Brigade and Jiang Qi Artillery Brigade? Wouldn't this save more time?
The reason is simple. What the Dragon Boat Festival wants is cannon, not a pile of scrap metal.
If an ambush is carried out during the Dragon Boat Festival, the success rate can reach more than 90%, but the consequence is that heavy weapons cannot be used in the battle, resulting in inevitable casualties.
Because the Japanese truck not only pulled heavy artillery, but also contained artillery shells. Once it exploded during a firefight, the Japanese would naturally suffer heavy casualties, but the artillery and shells that the Dragon Boat Festival wanted would be gone.
What's more, these cannons will be used to deal with the Japanese pursuers during the Dragon Boat Festival!
Because you can imagine that although Dragon Boat Festival deceived the Japanese for a while, it will definitely not be able to deceive the Japanese for the rest of their lives.
Chuzhou and Lai'an County are too close to each other, and there are telephones to contact them.
So it was only a matter of time before the Japanese found out they had been deceived.
Would the Japanese allow themselves to be deceived into an infantry brigade or an artillery brigade, and then let the Dragon Boat Festival go so easily?
This is simply impossible. After the Japanese discover that they have been deceived, they will immediately gather their troops to pursue him.
Therefore, Dragon Boat Festival must not only protect these guns, but also end this battle as quickly as possible.
Because you can just imagine, what is the purpose of this long journey during the Dragon Boat Festival?
He came all the way to Laian County not to attack the Japs, but to pull back the Japs' artillery.
Carrying such a heavy guy, you don't have to think about it to know that you won't be able to move fast on the road, and it will only be a matter of time before the Japanese catch up.
So Dragon Boat Festival had already made follow-up preparations, not only to pull back the cannons of the little Japs, but also to defeat the pursuing Japs with lightning speed and quickly get out of the battle.
Of course, the most important thing is the cannons of the Little Japs. Not only are all of them indispensable, but the trucks of the Little Japs are also required for the Dragon Boat Festival.
Because the truck was going to be bombed, he couldn't take the cannons with him either.
So, this is the plan for the Dragon Boat Festival. He asked his spy battalion to perform a scene with Zhou Weiguo's headquarters in Jiapigou.
During the march, the Yoshida brigade, also known as Zhou Weiguo's headquarters, encountered a certain unit of the Northeast Army, and the two sides exchanged fire.
Then Duanwu pretended to let Ma Ping'an go to investigate and reported back that the enemy had many troops.
Of course, you can't say too much. If there are too many little devils, you will be afraid. But it cannot be said that it is too little, because it is too little, and it would be unscientific for the Yoshida team to fight with the opponent for so long.
So Ma Pingan came back and reported that he had discovered two enemy battalions, or a regiment.
This is a big battle, because the organization of a regiment is similar to that of a Japanese brigade. (Here we are talking about a thousand-man regiment, a thousand-man brigade.)
At this time, Dragon Boat Festival said that they would completely annihilate each other, and the two old devils Qian Xia and Jiang Qi would not have any objection. Because judging from the experience of the Japanese fighting against the Chinese army, two infantry brigades, plus an artillery battalion, fighting a Chinese regiment is just like playing.
What's more, Dragon Boat Festival's tactics were very appropriate. The artillery battalion supported the Yoshida battalion from the front, while the Chinatsu infantry battalion circled back and wiped out all the troops without leakage.
It's just that they were deceived by Duanwu. Since Zhou Weiguo and Duanwu's spy camp were pretending to fight, there were people on the peak southeast of Jiapigou that the Japanese misjudged.
The Japanese determined that the Yoshida brigade was exchanging fire with the enemy. But in fact, these two groups are one and the same. So the Qianxia Infantry Brigade stupidly fell into the trap set by the spy camp.
At the same time, the Japanese artillery brigade also entered the trap.
Behind the mountain on the west side of Jiapigou, there is a camp of Zhou Weiguo.
There are not many people in this camp, with more than 500 people.
The Japanese artillery brigade only has more than 500 people.
The Japanese thought that the imperial troops of Yoshida Brigade were protecting them. Some pulled the cannons, while others moved the shells. Then they all walked obediently into the trap set by Zhou Weiguo for them.
Zhou Weiguo watched from the top of the mountain, counting the time to kill.
Of course, he was also waiting for the secret service battalion to take action first. Because his mission here is much easier than that of the secret service camp.
What the spy battalion has to face is the well-trained infantry of the Japanese army, but what he has to face is just a group of artillerymen who are not good at infantry combat.
This battle is simply too simple for Zhou Weiguo. As long as he gives an order, the little devil's artillery will be annihilated in seconds.
"You go and take a liaison to the Dragon Boat Festival. The infantry brigade on his side is not easy to eat. Remember, you must protect that boy in the Dragon Boat Festival. His life is more precious than gold now."
Zhou Weiguo ordered the adjutant beside him, who responded and quietly left with his men.
At the same time, the Dragon Boat Festival sent out a signal on the mountain, and all the soldiers began to tie the white towels they carried with them on their arms to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. After all, they are all wearing Japanese military uniforms. Once they fight, they will inevitably injure one of their own.
So this hand towel will play a vital role.
But you can’t tie this handkerchief early because it’s too obvious. Because except for the Japanese gendarmerie, what other troops would tie a white handkerchief on their arms when they are idle?
So even though Zhou Weiguo also knew that this would arouse the suspicion of the little devil, he still had to do it.
And sure enough, when the old devil Jiang Qi saw the strange behavior of the Yoshida Brigade, he was a little surprised. He called his messenger and ordered: "Go and ask the imperial soldiers of the Yoshida Brigade, why are they tied up on their arms?" Hand towel?…”
