"Come, come, borrow the light, borrow the light, we will also join the independent group."
A group of puppet soldiers who were about to leave separated from the crowd and wanted to line up on the right side.
But at this moment, Zhao Weidong stopped him and said, "Aren't you going to leave? Why do you want to join our independent group again?"
Several veteran veterans quickly laughed and said: "Hahaha, sir, it's like this, we have figured it out, only by fighting the Japanese and defending the country will you show your true nature as a man!"
Zhao Weidong sneered: "Everyone, let's talk about the ugly things at the beginning. All of our independent regiments are good, there are no deserters, and there are no cowards. So you should think it through before talking about joining."
"Well!"
Several veterans paused for a moment, then quickly laughed and said: "How can this be possible? They are all peeing standing up, one with spit and one with nails."
"Then please!"
Zhao Weidong moved out of the way and asked a few veterans to pass through with most of the puppet troops lined up on the left.
At this time, more than 100 puppet troops joined the independent regiment, which was about double the number of soldiers who died in the independent regiment in Dongping County.
Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival's skill of using war to support war is really beautiful. I am afraid that many Chinese armies can't match it.
In fact, the little devil is also using war to support war. Otherwise, with his national strength, he would simply not be able to support such a huge war.
But many people have not seen this. As long as you keep robbing the little devil of supplies, he will probably have to use old tricks that the Chinese don't want before long.
That's why the Dragon Boat Festival war was so smooth. Because he has already understood the nature of this war.
What was the war about? What we are talking about is weapons and equipment, what we are talking about is the quality of soldiers, and what we are talking about is the command ability of officers. What was the fight then? It's all about money.
Duanwu is very good in this aspect. Whether it is his ability to make money or to make equipment, he is incomparable to ordinary officers.
Therefore, it is precisely because of this that his troops can be invincible and invincible.
And the small Dongping County is just the beginning. With these weapons and equipment, and a steady stream of soldiers, he can severely deal with the Sakata Regiment, and then slap the Japanese Fifth Division with a big mouth.
However, it seems that the Japanese Fifth Division is not as stupid as imagined. The same goes for Lao Bantian in Ningyang County.
He suffered a big loss when he was reinforcing Dongping County, so when a regiment of the 56th Army pretended to attack Ningyang Town, the old Japanese just started to shrink back. Even if the regiment of the 56th Army deceived the old devil Sakata, he would not come out.
Just like the Dragon Boat Festival tricked Bei Baichuan into washing out of Bengbu.
This old devil doesn't know how to get in. Even if you scold him for eight generations, he won't come out.
The 56th Army had no choice but to send a telegram to Liao Guangyi. And Liao Guangyi sent the telegram to Duanwu. Duanwu immediately ordered the regiment of the 56th Army to evacuate quickly.
Because the little devil couldn't hold on, he must have received an order from the top. There are even reinforcements rushing towards Ningyang County.
Therefore, if the regiment of the 56th Army does not leave now, once the Japanese reinforcements arrive, the regiment of the 56th Army will not be able to leave even if it wants to.
And Dragon Boat Festival also sent a message to Zhu Shengzhong, because it was he and Sun Shiyu who led the people to ambush Bantian.
So the Independent Regiment also retreated, and retreated without leaving a trace to Wudaogou southwest of Wuming Village to join the baggage troops.
However, at this moment, a piece of extremely bad news came one after another. The 29th Division of the 56th Army was actually repelled, and the losses were considerable.
Liao Guangyi was also in a dilemma when he sent the telegram to Dragon Boat Festival. Because this battle was really not very beautiful, a division, no, to be precise, it was not a division, but a brigade. After all, it was impossible for the 29th Division to surprise Surabaya Town and arrive in Surabaya Town in such a short period of time.
Only one brigade of the 59th Division arrived in Surabaya Town, but it was repulsed and lost about four to five hundred people, including some weapons and equipment.
Liao Guangyi meant to wait for the two brigades to converge before attacking Sishui Town.
Duanwu immediately ordered to shrink the defense line, and the 29th Division returned to its original position. And when marching, no flashlights or torches are allowed, and no car lights are even turned on, and they must retreat quickly. Be prepared for air defense.
At the same time, Dragon Boat Festival also ordered the independent regiment, including the Special 1st Battalion, to withdraw from Dongping Town, and ordered the baggage troops and Zhu Shengzhong and others to stay in place after arriving at Wudaogou. Hide your whereabouts.
At this time, not long after Duanwu and his people left, the roar of airplanes was heard above Dongping Town, and then bombs fell like a strong wind.
In an instant, Dongping Town burst into flames. And if Duanwu had not notified the people of Dongping Town to flee in advance, I am afraid that even if the independent regiment did not suffer losses, the original people in Dongping Town would have suffered heavy casualties.
So this is war. The battlefield is changing rapidly. Maybe you had the advantage one second, but in the next second, your enemy will turn defeat into victory.
But this time the little devil is moving. Dragon Boat Festival will wait and see what the little devil will do.
And what deserves special attention is the Royal Guards in Surabaya County.
This is an imperial association army from the north, a guard force of Emperor Pu.
Of course, that's just what they call it. After all, all military and political power is in the hands of the little devils.
However, the combat effectiveness of this Royal Guards cannot be underestimated. Although the 56th Army is not an ace army. But its commander Liao Guangyi is not as simple as it seems.
And this can be easily seen from his brother, Zhou Tianyi.
Therefore, no matter how useless the 29th Division is, it will still be stronger than the average puppet army, right?
But they failed, and they failed miserably. According to Liao Guangyi's report, more than 400 people were lost at once, which was equivalent to the strength of a battalion.
Of course, there is no comparison between the battalion of the 56th Army and the battalion of the Dragon Boat Festival. There were more than a thousand people in a battalion in the Dragon Boat Festival. Let alone the 56th Army, which battalion had more than a thousand people even in the Central Army!
However, even if there were more than 400 people, it would still be considered a huge loss. After all, how many such full battalions would a 29th Division have?
Therefore, Duanwu will begin to re-evaluate the overall strength of this Royal Guards force, and if necessary, he will personally deal with this force.
After the Japanese air raid, the Duanwu group also slowly drove toward Wudaogou southwest of Wuming Village without turning on their car lights.
The terrain of Wudaogou is complex, which is convenient for hiding troops, and the Dragon Boat Festival supply camp, Zhu Shengzhong, Sun Shiyu and others, including Tang Jiujiu, Tiedan, Arou and others, are all lurking here.
And this kind of lurking will even lurk during the Dragon Boat Festival until the full-scale war begins.
And this can be considered a type of special operations.
The so-called special operations is to lie in wait and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy when the enemy is paralyzed.
However, traditional special operations are limited to lurking and surprise attacks by small groups of troops. But in fact, it is equally effective when used in surprise attacks with large forces.
Of course, the key to the problem is how you hide yourself.
As a result, all the radio stations of the Dragon Boat Festival troops went into silence, as if they had disappeared from the defense zone of the fifth theater!
