Dragon Boat Festival never does loss-making business. The enemy is strong and quickly sends out signal flares to order the troops to retreat. Only the Japanese who rushed into the forest were left, not even a soul was seen.
Rice is not meant to be eaten in one bite. If you can’t finish it in one bite, you have to eat it in multiple bites. And when it is discovered that the original plan will cause huge casualties, the plan must be modified quickly to avoid unnecessary sacrifices.
And to put it bluntly, the cavalry battalion in Dragon Boat Festival is only good at fast combat, and the previous setting of the cavalry battalion in Dragon Boat Festival was exactly the same.
Through the rapid maneuverability of the cavalry battalion, the enemy can be caught by surprise, and then quickly leave the battlefield without waiting for the enemy to react.
So at this time, Duanwu used this tactic to catch the Japanese by surprise and cause a large number of casualties.
And if the enemy is not scared off and abandons his vanguard, he will quickly leave the battlefield and mount his horse and leave without any delay.
As for the little devil, he was still in a dazed state and had not yet woken up.
Because the speed was too fast, red signal flares rose into the air, and gunshots sounded like a heavy rain in the woods on both sides.
The colleagues in front were shot and fell to the ground, and then they rushed forward amidst the shouts of their commander.
However, at this time, a green flare shot up into the sky, and then there was no one in the forest.
In other words, it took less than three minutes from the beginning of the ambush to the retreat of Duanwu and others.
The speed was so fast that if it weren't for the corpses lying on the mountain road, the Japanese wouldn't believe that they had just encountered an ambush.
After a while, the Japanese commander was the first to wake up. Their enemy had run away again and they had to chase him immediately.
This place is mostly mountainous and wooded. If it is not on the mountain road, even if the opponent has a horse, it cannot be that fast. What's more, it's very dark now. Even if there is moonlight, the other party may not be able to gallop, otherwise an accident will happen.
So the little devil thought about it and decided to continue the pursuit. However, in order to prevent the ambush from happening again, the Japs' machine gunners fired into the forest at regular intervals, not giving Duanwu an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Only this time, Dragon Boat Festival has changed its strategy. The little devil chasing along the mountain road was equivalent to bypassing the forest, so he pulled the cavalry deep into the forest and stopped moving at all.
Zhao Weidong and another group of people naturally received orders from the Dragon Boat Festival.
Duanwu is a rich man, and the entire independent regiment is equipped with low-power radios at the company level.
Therefore, it is not a big deal for a cavalry battalion to have two or three radio stations during the Dragon Boat Festival.
He had so many radio stations that he gave them away, but Ma Ping'an got a big deal. From the headquarters in Dragon Boat Festival to the war in Lai'an, he got at least twenty radio stations.
So although Duanwu and Zhao Weidong are separated, they can keep in touch at any time. The two groups of people evacuated on horseback first, creating the illusion that they were far away, but in fact, they were hiding on the other side of the forest. When the Japanese soldiers rushed out on the mountain road, they led the people out of the forest again.
But at this time, not all the Japs left. Some Japs were holding flashlights to collect weapons and equipment from the dead Japs.
And judging by their condition, these people are probably the Japanese's baggage troops.
Danwu motioned for everyone to stop. Zhao Weidong came over and said: "Commander, these dozens of little devils are picking up guns. I'm afraid they won't be finished for a while. Let's go around."
Duanwu smiled and said: "Why go around, everyone rests where they are. Let's watch and see how serious the little devil is at work? You all should learn from this, and you can clean the battlefield like this in the future.
If we pick up a lot of these weapons and equipment, we will be hard-pressed in battle. On the battlefield, we don't care about bullets, but when the battle is over, it's time for us to be careful.
In fact, in the final analysis, the weapons and equipment of the little devil are not very good. Although the Type 38 rifle has a long range and a long gun body, it has an advantage when it comes to stabbing at close range.
But its disadvantages are also obvious. Because of its long gun body, the shooting speed will be slow, and it is not very convenient to carry.
But the most important thing is that the little devil has no advantage when shooting at close range, and can only rely on machine guns to suppress fire.
However, the little devil's crooked machine gun is not very good either, and the failure rate is too high.
So, if it's not useless, I don't like these little devil's things at all. "
Zhao Weidong smiled apologetically and said: "Commander, the things you don't like are in other troops, but they are all rushing to get them."
Duanwu said: "That's because they haven't seen the world. Wait until I get Lao Maozi's weapons and equipment back, and then you can take a look. We are a regiment, and it's not our ability to fight against a Japanese regiment. Let's fight him alone. Brigade.”
"Hahaha!"
The soldiers laughed, but in the end they forgot that there were little devils picking up weapons and equipment on the mountain road.
A Japanese soldier heard the laughter and asked, "Who is it?"
Duanwu replied in Japanese: "It's one of our own."
The little devil was very surprised, because didn't the large army leave to pursue the enemy? Why did you come back again?
He took a flashlight to take a photo, but it was too dark to see anything clearly. He saw a young man wearing a Shaozuo uniform, and a group of people followed him.
Another Japanese guy came and asked, "What's wrong?"
The Japanese from before said: "We have our own people, but the large army should be chasing the enemy. Why are they coming back?"
The other Japanese was also very surprised. He also took a flashlight to look at it, but at this moment, Duanwu cursed loudly: "Baga!"
Hearing the scolding, the kid quickly put away the flashlight, because everyone knows what it is like to be illuminated by a flashlight at night.
At this moment, a young leftist from the Japanese baggage troop also came over and asked, "What's going on?"
The Japs from before repeated it, and the Japs' Shao Zuo was also a little surprised and asked: "Where are you from?"
Duanwu replied in Japanese: "We are, yes,... an independent group, hahaha!"
Duanwu suddenly laughed, and quickly drew his gun, aiming at the Jaap Shao Zuo who was less than thirty meters away, and fired three shots in a row.
The little Japanese Shaozuo died on the spot, but at the same time, the other Japanese finally understood that the other party was not one of their own, but the enemy.
The Japanese threw away the weapons and equipment they had just picked up and were about to organize a defense, but at this moment, a series of gunshots had already followed.
Chuchuchu! Chuchuchu! ...
The cavalry battalion of the Dragon Boat Festival took the lead in firing. This was a case of preparedness and unpreparedness. Although the little devils were thinking about shooting the enemy quickly, they were always half a beat too slow.
Under the fire of the cavalry battalion's machine guns and shell guns, the Japanese fell to the ground one after another without a chance to fire back.
There were more than forty Japanese in total. In less than two minutes, they all received their lunch boxes. They also left three trucks and two 75mm mountain cannons for the Dragon Boat Festival.
The Dragon Boat Festival ordered: "Load all the guns picked up by the Japanese into the car. Let's go to join the Northeast Army first!..."
