The sudden appearance of the little Japanese completely disrupted Dragon Boat Festival's rapid breakout plan.
Originally, Duanwu wanted to jump out of the little devil's circle and return to the mountain city when he thought he was dead and relaxed, but now it seems that he thought of things too simply.
The little Japanese will not let go of anyone who is his enemy, including Li Yunlong's desperate column.
This time, Li Yunlong's troops suffered heavy losses, with more than a hundred people killed in the entire column.
But it was the sacrifices of more than a hundred people that enabled most of the soldiers to break through.
Li Yunlong's department is currently active in the Zhoujiadian area and is sending scouts westward to conduct investigations.
Because Li Yunlong discovered another thing when he asked the fellow villagers. The Japanese who retreated from Wanjialing seemed to have gone west.
Li Yunlong felt that there should be Japs on the west side of Zhou's store, so he sent scouts to investigate.
But there is no definite news yet, and Li Yunlong is not sure whether the Japs are still there.
However, Duanwu believes that regardless of whether the Japanese army is present or not, they need to fight as if the Japanese army is there. Otherwise, when the two armies are anxious, the Japanese army suddenly comes out to support the army, and Duanwu will be very passive.
After he asked Lao Shou to send out the scouts, he called everyone from the supervision team, including the big cat Duan Wu, to the conference room.
Duanwu used his armed belt to make a collar for the big guy. The big cat sat on the chair majestically, like a victorious general.
Everyone saw that the big cat was funny, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud. Because everyone knows the ferocity of this big guy. If it enters killing mode, only Danzao among the people present can subdue it.
At this time, Duanwu took out a map and drew the attack route of the little devil while saying: "The little devil was fighting with Lao Li's second column in Jiazhuang an hour ago, so they are now far away from Wanjialing. There are still sixty to seventy kilometers to go.
Lao Li said that they also brought a lot of baggage and chariots, so I think they must not be moving fast.
Of course, it is not ruled out that they will send their vanguard troops to arrive at the foot of Wanjialing Mountain in advance and block us in the mountain.
The other group of Japs is most likely still staying at the racecourse.
This racecourse is very large, and it is very convenient for the little devils to station troops here. They can go directly to Tai'an if they go north, and they can go directly to Taierzhuang if they go south.
I heard before that many Japanese troops went to the front-line battlefield from this road. "
Shangguan Zhibiao said: "Well, how are we going to fight this battle? Now we have seriously reduced our personnel. There are only more than 4,000 people in the five battalions, and the little devils had more than 6,000 people deployed in Yushan before. In addition, The Japs who come to our west will have at least twice as many troops as we do."
Before Shangguan Zhibiao finished speaking, the others already had worried looks on their faces. They were all thinking that this battle might be another fierce battle.
And this time, unlike the surprise attack on Xintai County, they were not hit and run, but wanted to defend Wanjialing. And if this happens, the casualties can be imagined.
"Haha, brother Dragon Boat Festival, why didn't you call me in this fight?"
At this moment, Li Tianyou and Ma Pingan from the 686th regiment came uninvited.
Duanwu smiled and greeted him: "In this battle, I need the Eighth Route Army to help me defend Wanjialing, so I didn't ask you, Lao Li, to come. And Lao Ma, in this battle, you all have to defend Wanjialing." ridge."
Li Tianyou said: "Brothers Dragon Boat Festival, we are not outsiders. If we fight against the Japanese, our Eighth Route Army will definitely be at the front. In this way, you can let the brothers rest, and I, the 686th Regiment, will follow you out to fight against the Japanese."
At this time, Ma Ping'an also said: "Brother Duanwu, yes! Captain Li is not an outsider. If anything happens, just give me your orders."
Duanwu smiled and said: "Don't worry, two big brothers, I will speak up if necessary. It's just that in this battle, we really need you to defend Wanjialing. Because I'm leaving, and after fighting this foot, I will directly Leave Wanjialing."
"oh!"
Captain Li nodded, and then said: "In that case, we will go back so as not to affect your meeting."
Duanwu grabbed Captain Li who was about to leave and said: "Since you are here, let's all sit down and listen. There is no secret. This information about the little devil came from Brother Li Yunlong, otherwise we wouldn't know. The little devil has already passed Jiazhuang."
"Roar!"
At this moment, the big cat roared in dissatisfaction, which meant: "Hey, there's me too! I was the first to discover the little devil."
Duanwu immediately smiled and said: "Yes, there is also this big cat. It was the one who discovered the scouts of the Little Japs first, otherwise I would not have thought that the Little Japs would come to attack Wanjialing."
Ma Pingan looked at the big cat and smiled and said: "Brother Duanwu, didn't you send this big cat away? Is it living in the mountain again?"
Duanwu said: "Let it go. Anyway, it won't hurt anyone if it's full."
As the three of them sat down, Duanwu said again: "My plan is like this. There are many enemies and very sophisticated weapons and equipment. However, our combat personnel have been severely reduced, and the automatic weapons are not comparable to before.
But this time, we brought back a large amount of explosives, grenades, and artillery shells from Xintai County. These will be very effective weapons for us to kill our enemies.
So my plan is this. Except for the Special 1st Battalion, all members of the Supervision Corps will be dispatched to ambush the vanguard of the Japs.
I guess that the Japs' baggage troops and chariot troops cannot move fast, which will definitely slow down the Japs' marching speed.
At this time, there is a great chance that the Japs will send a vanguard force to arrive at the foot of Wanjialing in advance and block the road down the mountain from Wanjialing.
So we attacked their vanguard troops and after eating this group of Japanese, one troop continued to lure the enemy deeper, while the other troop went to join Li Yunlong's troops to ambush the invading enemies in the direction of the racecourse.
After the ambush was successful, we quickly withdrew and surrounded the Japanese troops that had already penetrated deeply with the troops that lured the enemy in, thereby achieving the effect of annihilating them or severely damaging them.
Considering that the enemy has tanks, Sun Shiyu's artillery battalion needs to be separated and specially prepared to fight the Japs' tanks.
The Japs' tanks and grenades do little damage to them. It is even useless, and only mortars can pose a threat to it.
So, Old Sun, you must keep an eye on the artillery camp and the mortars in your hands, especially the large-caliber mortar shells. Don’t shoot them all at once, otherwise we will be in trouble when dealing with the little devil’s tanks. very troublesome. "
"It's a group seat!"
Sun Shiyu stood up to accept the order, and immediately stood up at Dragon Boat Festival and said: "Now that everyone understands this combat mission, let's get ready to go. Lao Snoring's third battalion will set off first. Find all the Japanese spies near Wanjialing, and let Xiao Xiao The Japanese became deaf and blind.
Chen Shusheng, you led the fifth cavalry battalion and carried explosives to lay a mine in Zhongkuang Mountain. If the little devil wants to reach Wanjialing as quickly as possible, he must go to Kuangshan Mountain! "
