"Yes, you are right, Lao Sun. When we came out this time, we not only got a lot of weapons and equipment, but also killed so many Japanese. We made a profit. Damn it, Grandma Te, what am I thinking about in my head?"
Zhu Shengzhong suddenly realized, but little did he know that his sixth sense was correct. In addition to smashing the siege plan of the little Japanese, this battle also had another plan of the Dragon Boat Festival.
It's just that no one knows about this plan, because once this plan is implemented, the sky will collapse.
Naturally, Sun Shiyu didn't know either. But he felt that there was nothing wrong with this battle.
What is the most lacking thing in the supervision team today? Just weapons and ammunition.
All the units in the corps were howling for lack of ammunition.
And in this case, what would be wrong with Tuanzuo taking the risk to get the kid's ammunition? And it can support the Taierzhuang battlefield from the side.
Because you can imagine that if the Supervision Corps suppresses a large number of Japs near Xintai County, then the Japs strength in Taierzhuang will be greatly reduced, so that the brothers in the Fifth Theater will be able to fight more easily.
Therefore, in Sun Shiyu's eyes, Tuanzuo's tactical thinking was not wrong.
After Sun Shiyu's explanation, Zhu Shengzhong felt that he had thought too much and continued to participate in the battle.
With the artillery battalion joining in, the battle suddenly became one-sided.
Half an hour later, the enemy on the west side was the first to retreat. Although the Special 1st Battalion was on the left and the 4th Battalion was on the right to intercept them, the little Japs still managed to escape a squadron of around 100 Japs, while the remaining Japs were All were annihilated.
On the battlefield on the east side, after the Japanese troops on the west side retreated, they also retreated quickly.
Duanwu felt that they must have received some order, otherwise they would not have been able to retreat so resolutely.
From this, Danwu also deduced that all of this was probably Doihara's handiwork.
Doihara, this old devil, is very cunning, and Danwu has already noticed it from the previous battle. If he wants to reap benefits from Doihara and annihilate a large number of his effective forces, he must be more careful, otherwise he may be the one who suffers.
And in this frontal battle, although he annihilated more than a thousand Japs, the supervision team also suffered more than 200 casualties.
On the plains where frontal hard steel is used, tactics are actually of little use. What both sides fight is basically firepower.
Of course, the firepower of the Supervisory Corps is naturally incomparable. A large number of weapons and ammunition seized in Xintai County have played their due role at this time.
The two Japanese blocking troops were defeated, and Dragon Boat Festival immediately ordered the battlefield to be cleaned.
It is not easy to obtain weapons and ammunition nowadays. At least most of the little devil's bullets must be collected, while the little devil's weapons must be destroyed intensively.
This matter was left to the old abacus. This old man was in charge of all the personnel and firepower ratio of the entire supervision team.
He wanted to distribute the captured weapons and equipment according to needs. For example, the dozen or so machine guns captured were given priority to be replenished to the first battalion.
The First Battalion suffered more than a hundred casualties this time. If its firepower could no longer keep up, its combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.
The eight captured grenade launchers were added to the first battalion, and the four mortars were added to the second battalion. The remaining Japs' Type 38 rifles and heavy machine guns were all gathered together and destroyed.
Logically speaking, heavy machine guns have strong firepower and long range, so the supervision team should carry them.
But what they are now competing with the little devils is the same speed. If they are fast enough, they can escape from the encirclement of the Japs, but if they are not fast enough, they will be surrounded in Xintai County.
Therefore, except for the artillery battalion, all troops did not carry heavy weapons to avoid slowing down the march.
Boom!
After a violent explosion, the soldiers felt very painful. So many weapons and equipment could not be taken away, and they were all destroyed. Anyone would feel heartache!
But there is no way, they simply can't take away so many weapons and equipment at this time.
Dragon Boat Festival looked at the watch, it was already three o'clock in the night, and it was only two hours before dawn. They must leave as soon as possible.
However, at this moment, Ma Ping'an ran over and said: "Brother Duanwu, we can't walk the road ahead. The little devils ambushed people in Luoxia Valley. Although there is only one brigade of troops, the terrain of Luoxia Valley is difficult and difficult." It’s hard to defend. It’s not that easy for us to break out.”
Duanwu thought for a moment and asked, "Where are Brother Li and the others?"
Ma Ping'an replied: "They are still more than thirty kilometers away from Mount Tai, and they are entangled by the Japs. The Japs ambush, sneak attack, and do not fight head-on with the desperate column. It is really annoying."
Fortunately, you asked the Third Battalion to protect the baggage, otherwise Lao Li would definitely be held back by the Japs. The Third Battalion is blocking the Japs now. Lao Li's desperate column is speeding up, striving to reach Mount Tai before eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Mountainous areas. "
"Eight o'clock!"
Dragon Boat Festival repeated the sentence, because eight o'clock is easy to say, but it is only three o'clock at this time, and there are still five hours before eight o'clock.
And he had to persist for five hours before breaking through.
Duanwu thought for a while and said: "From here, the troops will be divided into two groups to bypass Luoxia Valley."
"What? Divide the troops?"
Ma Pingan was surprised, as were Shangguan Zhibiao, Zhu Shengzhong and others.
Duanwu looked at Lao Abacus at this time, and Lao Abacus quickly took out a military map.
At this time, a soldier brought a flashlight to illuminate the map for the Dragon Boat Festival.
Duanwu pointed at the map and said: "Now the little devils must be planning to encircle and annihilate our main force. And the encirclement they set up will also have this purpose. Then we will disperse our forces to break through.
Judging from the battle just now, the little devil planned to build the first encirclement at the fork in the road. But this encirclement has been torn apart by us.
Then the little devil will make a fuss in the second encirclement. For example, I estimate that the Japanese who just escaped probably went to Luoxia Valley. Strengthen the defenses there.
In other words, if the little devil is convinced, we will go to Luoxia Valley and break out from there.
Because we walked through the Luoxia Valley, we could return to Mount Tai the fastest, and we had the best chance of jumping out of the encirclement they had set up after passing through the Luoxia Valley.
The little devil's third encirclement circle is the largest and the weakest. If we jump out, the old devil in Doihara won't be able to do anything about it. "
"Then why don't we jump out?"
At this moment, Zhou Tianyi asked in confusion.
Duanwu said with a smile: "If we jump out, the Japs' troops will bite the baggage troops of Lao Li and Lao Snoring.
The little devil is letting the baggage troops leave now just to deal with us with all his strength. In other words, I am sure that the Japs do not have enough troops. Otherwise they wouldn't have sent only small groups of troops to harass the baggage troops.
I guess Doi originally planned to use a small force to hold off the baggage troops first, so that he could attack on both sides.
But I had expected this a long time ago and asked Lao Shou to escort the baggage troops.
Therefore, if the Japs want to stop the baggage troops, they need to mobilize at least two infantry brigades to do so.
But now it seems that the Little Japanese can't even mobilize two infantry brigades, which is enough to show that the Little Japanese has insufficient strength.
And we divide our forces into two groups here and take some time to bypass Luoxia Valley. So what will the little devil do? They didn't know where I was, so they would choose to intercept both of our troops at the same time.
In other words, our division of troops here will directly break the little devil's original plan, and at least make the little devil busy for a while! .”
