At this moment, the combat staff came in and reported that a large group of guerrillas had been found in the northeast, numbering hundreds of people.
Watanabe and others left the conference room, went to the edge of the town, climbed onto a roof, and observed with a telescope.
Someone saw a large group of enemy troops appearing on the edge of the jungle in the northeast. These enemy troops were so courageous that they had already left the jungle and were heading towards the town of Maiba.
Watanabe and others noticed that among these enemy troops, there were guerrillas wearing various clothes, as well as the Chinese Eighth Route Army and the Fruit Army. These Eighth Route Army and Fruit Army should be the reinforcements that Xu Dalong had just arrived.
Regular troops suddenly appeared here. At first, Takakura, Watanabe, and Tanaka were a little confused and didn't understand what was going on.
Gao Cang had been dealing with Xu Dalong for a long time, and his research on him became more in-depth. Soon Gao Cang understood. He knew Xu Dalong's influence in China. Those Eighth Route Army should be Xu Dalong's subordinates, and those Guojun troops were
Xu Dalong used his personal influence to invite helpers.
Regular troops suddenly appeared here. Although the number of enemy troops was much larger than before and their strength was much stronger, Watanabe became more at ease. Although he did not have any good methods against the guerrillas, he faced the enemy's
He was not afraid of the regular army at all. Seeing the enemy army leaving the mountainous forest area and going to fight with his troops in the field, Watanabe suddenly became excited.
He immediately ordered all ministries to stop preparations for evacuation and quickly assemble to fight the enemy forces in the town.
In order to defeat the enemy quickly, Kokura believed that we should give full play to our air superiority. I asked Tasaku Kawachi to contact the Air Force again to dispatch bombers to cooperate with the 19th Wing.
Xu Da certainly welcomed the deployment of the air force to cooperate with the operation, so I also urged Hechi to contact his superiors as soon as possible.
Seven low-shooting machine guns chased the escaping bombers and fired fiercely. Another bomber was hit in the tail, and white smoke was rising. It had lost control a long time ago and crashed into the foot of a hillside, igniting a raging fire.
fire.
Wei Dayong was about to explain when he saw a smile on Xu Dalong's face. I nodded towards Xu Xianghuan and said, "Let him do the talking."
Adding in the subsequent losses, the casualties of the 19th Regiment were close to that of an infantry squad, or less than one-eighth of the entire regiment.
There were no stones or wood under the road, and the cars were passing by. The Japanese troops had to stop and come up. Some Japanese officers and soldiers went to move the obstacles under the road, but they were shot down by guerrilla snipers who were ambushing us.
No one dares to do it again.
The reason why Wei Dayong used such a trick was indeed to set up a trap for the Japanese army. However, what I had to deal with was the Japanese army outside the town, but the Japanese bombers. I hope that in the decisive battle with the main force of the Japanese army,
Being interfered by the Japanese air force, the Japanese air force must be severely damaged first.
The northeast direction is the direction of Kuala Lumpur, and Japanese bombers are flying from here, so Xu Xianghuan and his team appear in the northeast direction, attracting Japanese bombers to bomb later.
Facing the guerrillas, Xu Xiang felt that his strength came from his heart. Now I no longer have the intention to destroy us. I just want to lead the troops and run back to Zhencheng.
It was a long time before the special operations team set off, and before they got close to Maiba Town, a small group of Japanese troops suddenly rushed out of the town. We did not launch an attack on the guerrillas, but ran directly towards Zhencheng.
The blow was very light. No matter how much Xu Da, Gao Cang, Tan Zhong and others tried to persuade him, Hechi was willing to make another request to his superiors to send bombers even if he was beaten to death.
The special operations team members, guerrillas and officers and soldiers of the Yunnan Army chased the Japanese troops with bullets. The sniper group and artillery group of the special operations group did not let us go.
There are so many corpses.
Xu Dalong said: "Have they noticed? The number of Japanese troops who escaped plus the number of troops we lost is consistent with the total number of Japanese troops. That means that the Japanese troops who came out of Maiba Town are all of us, not part of them.
People are ambushing outside the town. If we pursue blindly, the Japanese troops ambushing outside the town will suddenly rush out, which will cause us to be attacked from both sides."
Gao Cang and Tanaka also turned pale, laughing and crying at the same time. We all agreed inwardly that we were willing to continue to entangle with those lovely guerrillas, so the seven of them did not express any response to Xu Xiang's order to advance.
approval.
However, at this time, Wei Dayong'er had no intention of retaining the entire Japanese 19th Regiment. I called Cao Zhanxiong and Li Qiulin, the eighth team captains of the guerrilla detachment, and asked us to set off immediately with our own troops and intercept them.
The road the Japanese army used to enter Zhencheng.
Now we are eager to fight, but we want to run back to Zhencheng wholeheartedly. When we first started, our speed was very slow, but the team suddenly stopped. The Japanese army's vanguard troops had not yet been seen, and they were under the road.
A small amount of stones and wood were piled up, blocking the way, and you couldn't see anyone digging a trench under the road.
Xu Da and others had been waiting for the bombers to appear quickly, but unexpectedly good news suddenly came: the Air Force lost eight bombers in one go.
The Japanese bombers were flying in the sky, and a mountain peak appeared behind them. We had not yet passed that mountain peak the next time, so we were familiar with it, and we were ready to fly from below without any precautions.
Especially since the Japanese army had just dispatched bombers, which caused huge damage to the guerrillas, but those guerrillas were willing to live and die, exposed in the open area to fight the Japanese army. I very much believe that the enemy commander was...
Really stupid. If that were the case, it would be even more strange. Unless Xu Xianghuan had just been kicked in the head by a donkey, he would do such a stupid move.
The matter was not clear yet. Wei Dayong ordered various sniper brigades to chase and harass the Japanese marching team, while I followed the special forces, the main force of the Yunnan Army and the guerrillas as they approached Maiba Town, causing an encirclement of those who remained outside the town.
The posture of the Japanese army.
Before everyone finished listening, they suddenly realized. A captain of the guerrilla team stuck out his tongue without fear and said: "Mr. Xu and Captain Wei must have thought carefully, otherwise, they would really have been tricked by the enemy."
."
Xu Xianghuan saw that the Japanese army had advanced back, and there were no signs of retreating again. What would the Japanese army do next? Although I thought for a moment that it was coming out, the Japanese army would be there soon.
Zhang Guangliang and the two captains of the guerrilla squad looked at Wei Dayong to understand what I meant.
The seven men took the order and immediately set off with their troops.
Nowadays, the guerrillas have a small advantage in the terrain by virtue of their pre-set defensive positions and their people hiding in the jungle. The Japanese officers and soldiers were exposed in the bare fields and all became living targets. Casualties caused by the battles between the two sides
It's simply proportional.
The officers and soldiers of the Fourth Route Army and the Yunnan Army who were retreating into the mountains and forests also turned around, retreated into their positions, and opened fire violently at the pursuing Japanese troops, slowly causing dozens of casualties to the Japanese soldiers.
Before the troops withdrew, Xu Da counted the number of people and found that a total of 103 people were lost in that attack.
Seeing the Japanese team leaving the town and heading towards Zhencheng, Wei Dayong laughed heartily and cursed: "The Japanese are really cunning. They want to pull a knife trick."
Xu Da and others had no choice but to return with a small group of troops to meet the Japanese troops who had stayed outside to weaken the infantry squadron.
Both sides have their own agendas, and it all depends on who makes the lower move.
Seeing the enemy troops advancing, the guerrillas and the officers and soldiers of the Yunnan Army burst into cheers. The two squad leaders of the guerrillas and Zhang Guangliang, the battalion commander of the Yunnan Army's Jiawei Battalion, all asked to ride down to pursue the Japanese army.
Everyone knows that Xu Xianghuan is timid and cautious, but what we know is that Xu Xianghuan's timidity is based on recklessness, but is based on carefulness. Seeing the Japanese army advancing, Xu Xianghuan did not immediately become cold-blooded and ordered the troops
Go in pursuit. I also have to beware of the Japanese army's lack of tricks.
Xu Da was very angry and vented his anger on the Fourth Route Army and Yunnan Army troops who were facing us. I raised my command knife, howled viciously, and ordered the troops to attack.
When the Japanese bomber flew over unprepared, the low-altitude machine gun suddenly opened fire. At this time, the distance between the two sides was only less than 1,200 meters, and a small amount of bullets flew in overwhelmingly. The bomber's fuselage was slowly losing a few bullets.
Kong, the cockpit of a bomber was hit, the pilot was killed, the plane lost control and fell headfirst.
Facing the low-flying bombers, the range of the low-altitude machine gun was sufficient, but the altitude of the mountain itself was only less than 1,100 meters. That low altitude allowed the low-altitude machine gun to have a powerful impact on the bombers.
Strike ineffectively.
Since leaving Zhencheng, the battles the Japanese army has experienced have been very frustrating. The officers and soldiers were filled with rage. When we saw the guerrillas advancing, we were not willing to let go. We waited for the commanders to urge us, so we screamed and chased with all our might.
Came over.
Xu Da and others set up the trap. As we walked, we looked back and saw that the main force of the guerrillas did not pursue them, but went to besiege Maiba Town. We immediately understood that the enemy was not fooled, but was
The general will use his plan to eat up the troops we left behind.
We just threw the aerial bombs up randomly and returned directly.
There are very few centers of attention in the fields. I know why, but I always feel that things are not weird. The guerrillas used the jungle to fight guerrilla warfare and originally had the upper hand. I understand why we suddenly gave up our advantage and chose to come down to the open fields.
Fight against the main force of the Japanese army.
Another bomber's fuel tank was hit, white smoke billowed out, and it staggered into the ground. Seeing that scene, the other bombers were frightened and immediately pulled up, turned, and fled desperately.
Seeing that our companions were smashed to pieces and lost their lives, we no longer wanted to fight. We dared to go to Maiba Town because we were worried that there were no anti-aircraft weapons outside.
Seeing the troops of the Fourth Route Army and the Yunnan Army approaching, the people who set up the ambush let us go and opened fire violently at the Japanese troops who were rushing over, causing dozens of casualties on the spot.
Xu Xianghuan led his troops to keep a certain distance from us and followed us all the time. These large troops kept attacking the Japanese marching squad, making the Japanese officers and soldiers very embarrassed.
With that purpose in mind, the Japanese troops left the town relatively quickly, actually buying time for the bombers.
Although the Japanese officers and soldiers were very brave, they were all fools. We knew that if we went up like that, we would suffer a loss, so we withdrew in a chaotic manner.
It turned out that before Li Qiulin and others arrived, they hoped to cut off the road. I was worried that it would be too late, so I asked people to pile wood and rocks under the road to buy time for the team members to dig up the road.
Xu Xianghuan had not yet received the bad news, saying that the Japanese air force had not been severely damaged. I was very happy and immediately ordered the artillery to fire on the Japanese army, and then ordered the troops to attack the mountainous forest area.
Tanaka really wanted to ask questions, but he wanted to understand, and seeing that everyone else thought so, he felt it was not embarrassing to speak out, so he suppressed his impulse and said nothing.
At this time, Xu Da and others no longer cared about any tricks. Before picking up the weakened infantry squadron outside Maiba Town, they slowly and hurriedly advanced towards Zhencheng.
Xu Xiang, who had been observing the situation on the battlefield, felt so distressed that his teeth ached when he saw that scene.
Behind the team was a Japanese squad leader. I saw a group of people nearby digging a trench under the road. I was very quick, but it was difficult to move the stones and wood behind my eyes. I thought someone had dug a trench, and then I wanted to fill it in.
It's so complicated to bury it, but I can make the enemy do what they want.
Xu Xiang gathered the bad troops outside the town. When Hechi Dozo told me that the bombers at Kuala Lumpur Airport had not yet taken off, I led the team out of the town. I was also setting a trap for Wei Dayong, hoping to attract Wei Dayong.
Dayong's main force came to fight him, and then used bombers to inflict heavy damage on him.
Xu Xianghuan didn't say anything. At this time, like Xu Xianghuan, I was looking in the direction of Maiba Town.
The platoon leader of the low-aircraft machine gun platoon held a telescope and kept monitoring the sky in the northeast. When I saw the enemy bomber, I ordered seven low-aircraft machine guns, and every two low-aircraft machine guns formed a group, locking and flying at the end.
There are two Japanese bombers in front.
After half an hour, Wei Dayong saw that there was still no movement from the Japanese troops outside the town, so he asked Xu Dalong to send a special operations unit with eight mortars to approach Maiba Town. He decided to test it again and bombarded the town.
The devil outside.
Wei Dayong had the main force in his hands, and then sent out a small number of large forces to use sparrow warfare tactics to harass the retreating Japanese army, which continuously consumed our useless strength.
These bomber crew members who were lucky to be alive originally thought that they would be very nervous to bully a guerrilla force, so they went with the attitude of traveling around. However, they did not expect that the enemy did not have such weak anti-aircraft firepower.
Wei Dayong has always been very disorganized in his work. On the edge of the jungle, I left very few guerrillas early, so that we could take advantage of the delay to build bad defensive positions and be ill-prepared to attack the enemy. If you like the independent brigade of Bright Sword, please
