Duanwu ignored Wang Tong and Lu Jian's roars and even insults. Because if you don't want the little devils to continue to destroy the bodies of the people, the most effective way is to retreat quickly. Otherwise, you can only rush forward like a reckless man and snatch the bodies of ordinary people.
But if this happens, I'm afraid that the bodies of the common people will not be recovered, but Wang Tong's entire regiment will be taken in.
Because the city of Bengbu is very high and the city walls are very thick, there is no heavy artillery to break through the city gate. Unless there is a group army, at least two divisions can do it.
And this is the most brutal siege battle.
If you attack a city without heavy weapons, you will just use people as fire sticks to fill them up.
In this process, there is almost no difference between veterans and recruits, rushing upward against the enemy's bullets.
Gambling on luck? Forget it. The Japs were condescending and formed a three-dimensional defensive formation with the Japs outside the city. In this case, there was no heavy artillery to rush up. Just one of Wang Tong's regiments went up, and not even a splash was made.
And this is one of the reasons why Dragon Boat Festival besieged but did not attack after arriving in Bengbu.
The other reason is much simpler. Now that the Japanese have occupied Bengbu, it is not them but the Japanese who are anxious.
Although I don't know what the Japs have planned in Dragon Boat Festival, Bengbu is an isolated city at this time. If the Japs want to stay here for a long time, unless they have some back-up plan, they will all die here.
And this is another reason why the Dragon Boat Festival siege did not attack. Nowadays, the little devil's intentions during the Dragon Boat Festival are all based on speculation. I don't know what the little devil's intention is. At this time, you can only fight or test out the Japs' intentions. Otherwise, if you attack blindly and desperately try to recapture Bengbu, you may play into the Japs' hands.
So at this time, Dragon Boat Festival retreated directly, making the little devil bored and impatient. Of course, the most important thing is to stop the little devils from destroying the bodies of ordinary people.
Because just imagine, the little devil dropped the body just for Duanwu and others to see. Otherwise, if he struggled to carry the corpses of the people to the city wall and then threw them down, wouldn't he be full of food?
Therefore, as long as the Dragon Boat Festival stops watching, the little devil will definitely stop.
And the Dragon Boat Festival is also for testing, to test whether the little Japanese will pursue him after he leaves.
As long as the little devil dares to chase him, he will reveal his flaws. And this is another commonly used tactic in the Dragon Boat Festival, which is to disrupt the situation when the battle is unfavorable or reaches a stalemate, confusing the entire battle situation and forcing the little devil to reveal his flaws.
But Kitashirakawa Aoi is not the kind of person who is impulsive and has no regard for the consequences.
Although he was tricked, he still regained his dignity with the corpses of ordinary people.
He frowned slightly as he looked at Duanwu and the others who were gradually retreating. It can be said that he actually wanted to chase, but he also knew that if the imperial army pursued them, they would most likely fall into the trap set by Dragon Boat Festival.
At this time, Aso Taro saw Kitashirakawa's thoughts and lowered his voice and said: "I think the senior should be thinking about the same thing as me. If we pursue now, we will definitely fall into the trap of the Dragon Boat Festival."
Kitashirakawa nodded with satisfaction, then glanced at the other Japanese officers, and said in a low voice: "This Dragon Boat Festival is really smarter than a monkey. I forced him so, but he didn't attack the city, but left. But The purpose of our operation this time is to kill this Dragon Boat Festival. This makes me feel that our goal is getting slimmer and slimmer."
Taro Aso chuckled and said: "Senior, Dragon Boat Festival will not leave so easily. Now that Bengbu is in our hands, the 51st Army has no way out, and he does not know our plan. I think , He must be scratching his head now, not knowing our intention of occupying Bengbu and staying here."
"Hahaha!"
Kitashirakawa finally felt a little relieved. At least in this battle, Dragon Boat Festival didn't suffer, but he didn't take much advantage either.
Just at this moment, Ito suddenly came over with a frown and reported: "Your Excellency, I just received news that all the imperial troops who went out to investigate were ambushed and suffered heavy losses. No one has come back alive yet, and Koharu Squadron Contact has been lost, and I think they may have been poisoned a long time ago."
Kitashirakawa's mood that had just recovered suddenly fell to the lowest point again.
He said angrily: "Ito, I have always thought that our First Division of the Empire of Japan is invincible. But after coming to China, your regiment disappointed me so much. The reconnaissance squadron sent out, but Attacking can be defended, and they went out for reconnaissance, but they didn't find the enemy, but they were ambushed by the enemy one by one? No wonder the Chinese are so arrogant, it's because the soldiers and officers of our empire are too stupid."
Kitashirakawa roared angrily, and Ito bowed repeatedly in response, but he said in his heart: Do you still have the nerve to call us stupid? You are much stupider than us. He killed eight outstanding imperial soldiers, but didn’t even attack the city during the Dragon Boat Festival? Didn’t those imperial troops die in vain?
Of course, even if Kitashirakawa Aoi borrowed some courage from Ito, he wouldn't dare to say such words, so he could only say yes again and again.
Kitashirakawa scolded for a while and found it boring, then calmed down and said: "Without my order, no one can leave the city from now on, and find a way to contact the imperial army outside the city. If they are not dead yet, don't come back for the time being. I want them to continue to monitor every move of Chinese soldiers outside."
"Hi!"
Ito bowed and accepted the order, then retreated.
At this time, Taro Aso said again: "Senior, I wonder if you have this feeling. It seems that the number of soldiers that Dragon Boat Festival can mobilize is much more than imagined?"
Kitashirakawa nodded and said: "Yes, Dragon Boat Festival was just outside the city, but it was the imperial army on the south and west sides that were attacked. In other words, Dragon Boat Festival is far from being as peaceful as we thought. He was outside the city. Delay us, and then mobilize the other two troops to ambush our reconnaissance squadron. He played this move really well!"
Speaking of this, Kitashirakawa nodded slightly. Although he had not thought of this, with Aso Taro on the side, he would be really stupid if he couldn't guess it again.
Therefore, this is also the brilliance of Aso Taro. Whenever he speaks, Kitashirakawa is the centerpiece. If he thought about it, Kitashirakawa Aoi didn't. He would say, Senior, I think you have the same idea as me, and you have even thought of it in front of me.
In other words, Taro Aso has mastered the art of flattery to the pinnacle. Even if the idea came from him, he wanted to make Kitashirakawarai think that Kitashirakawarai came up with this plan by himself, and then he flattered him greatly. It would be strange if Kitashirakawarai didn't like such Taro Aso. ! .
