Duanwu guessed that the Japanese cavalry was heading for Shangguan Zhibiao, but he was not sure whether the Japanese actions were really targeting Shangguan Zhibiao, Sun Shiyu and his group.
Because it is also possible that the little devil cavalry received other orders.
Of course, he would never have imagined that Shangguan Zhibiao and Sun Shiyu were not only discovered by the Japs, but that the matter was also related to him.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, he led the First Battalion and the Special First Battalion fought a victorious battle in the Luoxia Valley, and then the golden cicada escaped with the help of the little devil's body.
The direction of the whole thing was already clear at this point. But unexpectedly, a Honda who was afraid of death appeared.
He did not report the change of Dragon Boat Festival into imperial army clothes to Doihara, and Doihara made a wrong judgment because of this.
The little Japanese reconnaissance plane also lost traces of the Dragon Boat Festival.
After searching to no avail near Luoxia Valley, the reconnaissance plane flew west and happened to see the Second and Fourth Battalions led by Shangguan Zhibiao who had just successfully crossed the river.
And everything that follows is explained.
The Japanese reconnaissance plane reported the information to the Army Aviation, and the Army Aviation reported it to Doihara. Doihara immediately ordered the 18th Cavalry Regiment, which was closest to the supervision corps, to attack the supervision corps, and ordered the Army Aviation bombers to take off again to attack the supervision corps. The regiment launched a bombing campaign.
In other words, bombing has become the most effective method for the little devils to deal with the supervision team.
However, it would take forty minutes at the earliest for the Japs' bombers to arrive at the battlefield. In other words, if Shangguan Zhibiao can get rid of the Japs' pursuit during these 40 minutes, then they will most likely escape the Japs' bombing.
At this time, Shangguan Zhibiao had received the Dragon Boat Festival warning, but they were still stranded on the plain.
The artillery battalion slowed down the march of the entire army. And the little devil's cavalry went and came back again.
They had escaped the Japs' cavalry before, and there was a large reed swamp after crossing the river.
They took advantage of the cold river water and hid in the water to escape the search of the little devils. But it was precisely because of this that they slowed down their march. Because many soldiers were frozen after landing ashore.
These nasty little devils were afraid of supervising the regiment to cross the river, so they scuttled all the boats along the river, and all the ferries were guarded by Japanese puppet troops.
The location where Shangguan Zhibiao and others crossed the river was pointed out to Shangguan Zhibiao by the guide of the underground party.
This location is relatively secluded and the river is not very deep. That's why Shangguan Zhibiao led the people and walked through the water like this.
Otherwise, the troops would not be able to cross the river at all.
But unexpectedly, after they crossed the river, they were discovered by the Japs' reconnaissance plane.
At this time, Shangguan Zhibiao frowned slightly when he received the telegram from the group leader. Because the position they were in at this time was quite unfavorable. They had to pass through at least five kilometers of open land before they could enter the more secluded woods.
And these five kilometers will take them at least fifty minutes to an hour. Because they have a lot of heavy equipment to carry. Even if the soldiers wanted to run faster, they simply couldn't. What's more, many soldiers were frozen and have not recovered yet.
Moreover, there were wounded in Shangguan Zhibiao's team.
In the previous battle, there were also wounded in the supervision team, and they all followed Shangguan Zhibiao across the river.
Because the road to be taken during the Dragon Boat Festival requires climbing a cliff, the injured could not climb at all.
In addition, Shangguan Zhibiao's group had the largest number of people and safety was guaranteed, so the wounded followed Shangguan Zhibiao.
But even so, Dragon Boat Festival still attacked Luoxia Valley to attract the little devil's attention.
It's a pity that Shangguan Zhibiao and his party were eventually exposed.
Even if the marching speed of the troops can be increased, it will not increase much. And what they have to face is the little devil's cavalry.
The advantage of the cavalry on the plains is very great. Once the cavalry of the little devil gets close, Sun Shiyu's artillery battalion may be destroyed by the little devil's cavalry.
So without even thinking about it, Shangguan Zhibiao reported to Duanwu the difficulties they were facing at this time.
When he saw Shangguan Zhibiao's message, Duanwu had already expected it.
He needs to break the game, and the faster the better.
But there is no terrain, the Japs cavalry will arrive first, and then the Japs bombers.
The second and fourth battalions need to use all their strength to deal with the Japs' cavalry. What can they use to deal with the Japs' bombers?
What's more, the supervision corps no longer has anti-aircraft weapons. Do they need to use mortars and machine guns to attack the Japanese bombers on the plains? This is simply not realistic.
Dragon Boat Festival's brain was running very fast, at least thirty-six thousand revolutions per second.
Because there was really no time to delay at this time, it would take less than thirty minutes for the Little Japanese cavalry to appear in Shangguan Zhibiao's field of vision, while it only took more than forty minutes for the Little Japanese bombers.
"Brothers Dragon Boat Festival?"
At this moment, Ma Ping'an saw that Duanwu didn't speak for a moment, so he called out. But Duanwu didn't answer at all, but kept his eyes closed.
At this moment, Lao Abacus stopped Ma Ping'an and said, "Young Master is thinking about countermeasures. Don't worry, you will be fine."
"oh oh!"
Ma Pingan responded twice and then stopped talking.
At this moment, Duanwu suddenly opened his eyes, and he already had a solution.
Although this is an impossible solution, it is the best solution that can be thought of now.
He looked around, and Ma Ping'an happened to be near him. He echoed: "Old Ma, contact your people immediately, this way, this way, this must be done quickly."
Ma Pingan frowned slightly after hearing this, but still went to do it immediately. At this time, Duanwu said to Lao Abacus again: "Go and generate electricity for Lao Shang, and ask him to mobilize all the machine gunners from the army, and pair them with ammunition men to form his hundreds of machine gun teams. And if the small When the Japanese cavalry arrives, use machine guns to shoot at me. Don't save ammunition. Once the little Japanese cavalry gets close, the consequences will be disastrous.
Then dispatch an artillery squad of dozens of people, holding grenades to follow the machine gunners. If the machine gunner cannot hit it, the artillery team will provide fire support. After defeating the Japanese cavalry, they quickly went north to hide in the woods. The little devil's cavalry dare not enter the forest. If he dares to enter, he will destroy them on the spot.
As for the little devil's plane, tell them not to worry and just let them keep going north. After getting rid of the enemy, we quickly entered Renjia Village and met us as planned. "
"yes!"
Lao Abacus took the order and immediately went to generate electricity for Shangguan Zhibiao. Shangguan Zhibiao saw the contents of the message without any hesitation and immediately carried out Duanwu's order. The total number of machine gunners in the second and fourth battalions exceeded 500. After each of them was equipped with an ammunition hand and a sniper, a hundred people were transferred from the artillery battalion to carry grenades to provide cover for the machine gunners. .
The rest of the people, covering the artillery and the wounded, continued to go north! .
