Watanabe thought about it carefully and found no other better way. He decided to accept Gao Cang's suggestion and divide his troops into three groups.
Watanabe said: "Okay, let me inform you now."
He sent the communications staff who followed him to call the three brigade captains, and gave them the marching route and the time to assemble in Maiba Town. Then the three infantry brigade launched operations separately. Watanabe, Takakura and others
The man was following one of the infantry regiments.
Tanaka was able to fulfill his responsibilities. He had promised to stay and deal with the surveillance posts sent by Xu Dalong. He divided an infantry squad given to him by Watanabe into three teams, each with personnel from the Special High School Course he had brought.
The commander set up an ambush in the direction of the three infantry brigades, hoping to catch the people sent by Xu Dalong to follow them.
Needless to say, Tanaka's method worked very well. The people sent by Xu Dalong had been monitoring the actions of the Japanese army. After the Japanese army started taking action, they continued to follow. Because it was dark, they did not notice that Tanaka had left an ambush.
When they saw the black shadows rushing toward them, they realized it and hurriedly shot at those black figures.
The ambushing Japanese troops opened fire on them. A special operations team member and a guerrilla guide were shot and died, and the walkie-talkies they carried also fell into the hands of the Japanese troops.
When the lurking Japanese special high school personnel saw that the following guerrillas had been eliminated, they reported the news to Tanaka.
Tanaka was very happy when he heard this and reported the good news to Takakura and Watanabe. Hearing that the guerrilla surveillance post had been knocked down, Watanabe felt much better and was full of energy. He urged the troops to speed up their march.
, try to get to Maiba Town as soon as possible.
However, the Japanese army still underestimated Xu Dalong. They thought they had destroyed the surveillance posts of Xu Dalong's faction, but they did not know that the surveillance posts of Xu Dalong's faction were always divided into two groups. There was a special agent behind the two surveillance posts that they destroyed.
The team members and a guerrilla guide were trying to prevent something from happening to a group of surveillance posts. When they saw a battle taking place ahead, they could tell from the flash of the muzzles that the Japanese army had a large number of people.
The two knew that they could not rescue their comrades in front, so they could only hide quietly with grief and indignation. After the Japanese troops left, they continued to track them. They reported what happened to Xu Dalong.
The Japanese army that eliminated the two guerrilla surveillance posts joined Tanaka and handed over the captured walkie-talkie.
Tanaka is also very smart and hopes to use the walkie-talkie to confuse Xu Dalong, or at least to determine his location by talking to Xu Dalong.
It's a pity that he didn't know the connection between Xu Dalong and the special operations team members at all. He used special operations terms, which Tanaka couldn't understand at all.
Although Tian Zhong and Xu Dalong were using the same channel, they did not dare to speak rashly after listening for a long time. He knew very well that as soon as he opened his mouth, his secret would be revealed. However, Tian Zhong was still relatively comforted. After all, he had killed Xu Dalong's surveillance team, which made
Xu Dalong has become blind and deaf now, and it will not be so easy to attack the Japanese army by surprise again.
After receiving the report from the surviving surveillance team, Xu Dalong learned that the Japanese army had divided into three groups, one of which continued along the road to the direction of Maiba Town.
Xu Dalong was worried that the entire Japanese infantry regiment was gathered together and it was difficult to eat them. When he heard that the Japanese dared to split up their troops, this was an elusive opportunity. He hurriedly obtained the information from several other guerrilla brigades.
Contact him and ask them to come and join him to attack the Japanese army along the way.
The main force of the guerrillas was deployed in the Maiba Town area. They were originally preparing to attack the Japanese army in stages. After they heard Xu Dalong's call, the main force of the guerrillas, including Li Qiulin, immediately began a forced march.
At this time, the morale of the guerrillas was high. Although they heard that the enemy was powerful, they were confident that under Xu Dalong's command, they would be able to win the battle.
Rapid march is a high-intensity exercise. Supported by the confidence of victory, the guerrillas were all very excited and did not feel tired at all.
Xu Dalong also fully considered how to fight this battle next. He knew that although the Japanese army had been divided into three groups and their forces were relatively scattered, each group of Japanese troops had at least one infantry brigade, especially the ones they wanted to fight.
The Japanese army along this route has an infantry brigade, including the wing headquarters and the direct-affiliated team, with more than 1,300 troops. It is very powerful. Even in an ambush, it relies on dozens of special forces under its command, plus most of the
The guerrilla detachment, which was composed of all new recruits, could not possibly eat up all the Japanese troops in one go.
Therefore, the goal set in this battle was to consume as many Japanese troops as possible. Xu Dalong did not plan to annihilate all of them. In arranging the troops, he decided to adopt the tactics of sparrow warfare, using the brigade as a unit and fighting individually.
Attacking in all directions, confusing the enemy and forcing them to fight, can effectively limit the Japanese army's combat effectiveness and cause heavy casualties to the Japanese army.
The Japanese army was marching. This time, in order to avoid being ambushed, the Japanese army followed suit and sent an infantry squad in front of the marching group to serve as a guard.
At this time, Xu Dalong sent a new surveillance post in the direction of the Japanese army's advance. He quickly discovered the situation of the Japanese marching brigade and reported the situation to Xu Dalong.
Xu Dalong only had one brigade of guerrillas at hand at this time, and he did not have an advantage in terms of strength or firepower. With such strength, if he attacked the Japanese marching brigade, although he could cause more damage to the Japanese army, once he was entangled by the Japanese army,
There are also great risks in itself. As the saying goes, it is better to cut off one finger than to bite off more than you can chew.
Xu Dalong gave up the idea of attacking the Japanese marching brigade and decided to target the enemy's infantry squad that served as the vanguard. To this end, he readjusted his deployment.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xu Dalong first ordered Li Qiulin's troops to move closer to him, and the two brigades joined together, and then made specific battle arrangements.
The Japanese army finally appeared. The first one to appear was an infantry squad serving as vanguards. Although those Japanese soldiers were serving as vanguards and were very vigilant, they were still mentally paralyzed and somewhat underestimated the enemy. After all, they were followed by a large group of Japanese soldiers.
If you are attacked, you will be rescued immediately.
Therefore, in order to speed up the march, the Japanese soldiers still lined up in a relatively orderly queue and ran forward.
Seeing the Japs' vanguard troops entering the ambush circle, Xu Dalong fired the first shot at the Japs' formation with the help of the faint moonlight.
The sound of gunfire was an order, and the guerrillas of the two brigades immediately opened fire and attacked the Japanese infantry squad. In order to give full play to their firepower, Xu Dalong set up an inverted triangular ambush position. The guerrillas could attack without any
Shoot without fear of hurting one of your own.
The Japanese officers and soldiers of the 19th Regiment had also fought with the guerrillas. In their impression, the guerrillas lacked weapons and ammunition. They often fired a few shots and then came up to fight the Japanese with bayonets, or turned around and fled. Although
They have heard that part of the Japanese and puppet troops were annihilated and weapons and ammunition fell into the hands of the guerrillas, but the long-term impression still makes it difficult for them to change this idea. This is also the main reason why they dare to march forward in queues on the road.
The reason. It was this idea of underestimating the enemy that caused the Japanese soldiers to suffer a great loss.
The two brigades participating in the ambush battle had more than 500 people. Everyone had a gun, and each person had an average of more than 50 rounds of ammunition. They also had a total of 6 light machine guns, and each light machine gun was equipped with more than 2,000 rounds of ammunition.
Before the battle started, Xu Dalong told all the team members participating in the battle that once the battle started, they should not think about saving bullets, but shoot out the most bullets in the shortest time, and use the fastest time to annihilate the enemy in front.
Therefore, as soon as the battle began, the special forces and guerrillas fired a large number of bullets at the Japanese infantry squad like a heavy rain.
Under the rain of bullets, an infantry squad of Japanese soldiers lost more than four-fifths almost instantly.
In order not to give the enemy time to breathe, Xu Dalong gave the order to charge less than a minute after the battle started.
More than 500 special forces and guerrillas quickly rushed onto the road to eliminate the remaining Japanese troops.
The Japanese army also maintained a high degree of vigilance during the march. After the vanguard troops were attacked, they immediately charged forward in an attempt to rescue the infantry squad that was attacked in front.
Xu Dalong had already made careful arrangements. After the six light machine guns fired two magazines at the Japanese infantry squad, they immediately turned to the following Japanese infantry brigade, blocking their way forward with firepower, and providing a heavy blow to the main force of the guerrillas.
Get rid of the Japanese vanguard squad and buy time.
Since it was at night, it was easier to hide, so the ambush site set by Xu Dalong was only a few dozen meters away from the road. After Xu Dalong gave the order to charge, more than 500 special forces and guerrillas rushed onto the road in a very short time.
Like a flood, they quickly submerged the remaining Japanese troops, then quickly swept the battlefield and quickly evacuated. The entire battle lasted less than three minutes.
In order to avoid retaliation by the Japanese army, Xu Dalong ordered the troops to evacuate quickly according to the pre-planned plan. The machine gun team also began to evacuate. As they ran, they turned back and fired at the Japanese army with machine guns. The Japanese army had to dodge and temporarily stopped the pursuit. Just like this guerrilla
The team was quickly out of danger and disappeared into the vast night.
This battle came so suddenly. In just a few minutes, the Japanese army lost another infantry squad. All their weapons and ammunition were taken away by the guerrillas. The Japanese marching brigade also encountered enemy machine gun fire, causing casualties.
The number of people also exceeded 20.
The battle came so suddenly, and the enemy retreated so quickly. In the blink of an eye, the guerrillas disappeared without a trace, and a dead silence returned to the battlefield. It was like a dream, and more than 80 Japanese soldiers were lost, although they were not injured.
Bones, but it cast a shadow over the hearts of all officers and soldiers.
They looked at the dark night, wondering where greater dangers were waiting for them.
Gao Cang and Tanaka were extremely angry. They wished they could catch those damn guerrillas and cut them into pieces. But looking at the dark wilderness, their wishes could not be realized at all. The anger with nowhere to vent made them miserable.
extremely.
Watanabe felt very depressed. He felt that continuing like this was not an option. If he continued to march at night, he didn't know what kind of blow he would encounter.
Watanabe made up his mind and ordered the troops to stop advancing and build a defense line in place to prevent the guerrillas from attacking again. At the same time, he ordered the signal corps to notify the other two infantry brigades and put them on guard in place to guard against guerrilla attacks.
Wait until daybreak before making plans.
Gao Cang and Tian Zhong felt that if things continued like this, Xu Dalong and the others would definitely escape. Even the logistics personnel in Maiba Town would probably be able to evacuate calmly. In this case, the Japanese army's operation would be in vain, and they would lose this opportunity.
The meaning of this attack.
They really wanted to persuade Watanabe to continue marching, but seeing Watanabe's depressed look, they knew it was impossible to persuade him, so they had to keep silent. Fortunately, it was already 5 o'clock in the morning, so they had to be patient.
The wait is over.
Just when the Japanese army sent out a guard post and prepared to camp on the spot, a large number of bullets were fired from the right side of the road. This was the arrival of another guerrilla group, and they launched an attack on the Japanese army who were resting on the road.
When the Japanese troops formed a fighting formation and fought back, they had already withdrawn. The entire battle lasted only one minute and ended quickly.
The Japanese officers and soldiers were very angry and hoped to catch up with the guerrillas and eliminate them. However, in the vast night, they quickly lost traces of the guerrillas. In order to avoid an ambush, they could only leave a guard post and then return
Return to the road.
While the Japanese troops were counting their casualties, another heavy barrage of bullets came from the left side of the highway.
This time the guerrillas appeared at the left rear of the Japanese marching group. Since the Japanese army had set up a guard post in advance, these guerrillas were discovered by the Japanese guard post 100 meters away from the Japanese marching group.
.
These guerrillas had no choice but to shoot at the Japanese marching group on the road from a long distance. From such a long distance, they could not see clearly where the Japanese troops were. Fortunately, the Japanese troops were large in number, and these blind bullets still caused them harm.
There were certain casualties.
This attack came so suddenly and ended just as quickly. The Japanese army organized a counterattack, but still achieved nothing.
The effect of these two attacks was not very significant because the Japanese military had taken precautions in advance. However, despite this, 26 Japanese officers and soldiers still died unexpectedly.
