"Tuanzuo, I found a cave, just on the mountain less than 800 meters away from us. The cave is big enough to accommodate thousands of people. Hehe! It seems that there is something living in it. Look, there are furs here. !”
While Dragon Boat Festival was thinking about the next plan, Lao Baanpan ran back with a smile on his face and an extra pinch of hair in his hand.
Dragon Boat Festival looked at the downy hair with a light khaki color, but what he thought in his heart was that there might really be tigers in this Wild Tiger Mountain. But the soldiers didn't see it before. Maybe the tiger is gone, not sure.
After all, although tigers are solitary animals, they also have estrus periods, so they may not necessarily leave to find a mate.
What's more, there are so many people in the Special First Battalion and they have guns and they are not afraid of tigers.
"This cave is suitable for us to hide in. We order everyone to immediately eliminate the traces of our stay and enter the cave immediately to avoid the search of the little devils."
Dragon Boat Festival immediately gave the order, and Lao Abacus went to deliver the order. As a result, the time was short, but Zhou Tianyi ran over and asked, "Tuanzuo, do we want to hide in the cave? This is a Jedi. Once we are discovered by the little Japs and they block us in the cave, the consequences will be disastrous."
Duanwu looked at Zhou Tianyi's watch and said: "What time is it now? It will be dark in two hours. The little devil may not have the time to find this place, and even if he finds this place, he may not be able to find it." A cave.
To put it bluntly, even if the Japs found the cave, we could still get out before the Japs mobilized heavy troops. When the time comes, just place two scouts at the door. When the Japs discovered the cave, we fought our way out. It was dark at that time, and we were wearing Japs clothes, so it was very easy to sneak out. "
Zhou Tianyi thought about it for a moment, then quickly said with a silly smile: "Hey Tuanzuo, I was wrong. I just think about the problem according to common sense."
Duanwu said: "Your idea is correct. Once you are discovered hiding in a cave, it is indeed a dead end. But we also need to analyze the specific situation. The person who tells you must not leave any traces for the little devil."
"Yes, Danzao!"
Zhou Tianyi responded, and immediately went to gather the troops and erase the traces. Under the leadership of Lao Abacus, the group headed straight for the cave.
Before entering the cave, Duanwu asked Lao Abacus to send a message to Shangguan Zhibiao, Lao Snoring, and Wanjialing that the radio station was about to enter a silent state. Let them not worry, because they will have to jump out of the little devil's circle next.
When Shangguan Zhibiao, Lao Snoring and Tang Jiujiu received the news of the Dragon Boat Festival, they were happy at first, but a little more worried. Because the radio station is silent, it also means that they will not be able to contact Duanwu in a short period of time unless Duanwu turns on the radio station again.
But there is nothing that can be done, because sometimes, in order to prevent the enemy from finding their location through radio signals, turning off the radio is the best choice.
Fortunately, Tuan Zuo is still safe now, and with Tuan Zuo's wisdom, they believe that Tuan Zuo will return safely.
At the same time, Shangguan Zhibiao also joined Zhu Shengzhong. They were hiding in Renjiacun for a short rest. Once it got dark, they would break out from the direction of Yushan Mountain.
There are probably five infantry brigades of Japanese and puppet troops near Yushan.
And especially above Yushan, there are two infantry brigades of the Little Japanese stationed.
This line of fire was more than ten kilometers long. The Japs stationed an infantry squadron or a battalion of the puppet army almost every five hundred meters, completely cutting off the Yushan Mountain that was more than ten kilometers long.
Shangguan Zhibiao has sent scouts to investigate, and there are many imps. If they attack Yushan head-on, the troops they have are simply not enough.
Shangguan Zhibiao did some statistics and found that the first battalion, the second battalion, and the fourth battalion totaled about 3,000 people. But the total number of imps and puppet troops exceeded 6,000.
It's definitely not possible to go head-on, and there's no way around it. To the east, they need to walk more than thirty kilometers, taking the road to Mumu Mountain, while to the west, they have to walk further, they need to walk fifty to sixty kilometers and then take a detour to the racecourse. Only by crossing the border can one enter the territory of Mount Tai.
This is too far, and if the little devil wants to stop them, the distance is much closer than them, and he can go around in front of them at any time.
And coupled with the fact that the little devil's plane has been flying around in the sky, it is even more dangerous.
So Shangguan Zhibiao decided that no matter how difficult the battle tonight was, he would still tear a hole in the enemy's line of fire.
But it was still early, and he wanted the soldiers to have a good rest before crossing the Japs' line of fire with full energy.
···············
At the same time, the Japs from Yehu Mountain were still shrinking their encirclement in Yehu Mountain.
Although they encountered losses and obstacles again, they finally narrowed the encirclement to a radius of about ten kilometers within the time specified by Doihara.
The Japanese didn't leave at this time, even though it wasn't completely dark yet. But the little devil didn't leave anymore. They stopped to wait for Doihara's orders and began cutting down trees. A ring of about twenty meters wide was cleared, surrounding the entire central area of Yehu Mountain.
Doihara let out a long breath with a smile on his face, because he had learned from the reports from the front that Duanwu had not broken out and was still in Yehu Mountain.
In other words, Dragon Boat Festival planned to wait until dark before making a breakthrough.
But he will not wait until dark. And originally, he didn't expect the imperial army of three infantry regiments to really surround Dragon Boat Festival. What he wanted was to compress Dragon Boat Festival's living space, and then use his big killer weapon, the imperial air force. .
He immediately ordered all Army Aviation bombers to dispatch, carrying a large number of incendiary bombs, to bomb the target area of Yehu Mountain. He wanted to turn the last ten kilometers of Yehu Mountain into a sea of fire and burn the Dragon Boat Festival alive. Die inside.
At the same time, the little Japs in Yehu Mountain had already lit torches, and under the orders of the Japs officers, they lit up the combustibles in the forest.
In an instant, blazing flames ignited in the woods, forming a huge ring of fire.
The scouts of the Special 1st Battalion were the first to discover this and immediately reported it to Duanwu.
Dragon Boat Festival was slightly happy, and he knew that the little devil must have made this wishful thinking. They trapped them in Yehu Mountain and set them on fire without firing a shot.
"Brother Dragon Boat Festival, this little devil set a fire. I'm afraid we won't be able to get out for a while. With this mountain fire, it doesn't necessarily last how long."
At this moment, Ma Pingan frowned. Because he once encountered a little devil setting fire to the mountain. That wildfire killed many people. Even he almost died in that wildfire!
