The first thousand one hundred and seventy-seventh chapters come back
Just as the Japanese captain Takahashi was making intensive arrangements to eliminate several groups of surrounded guerrillas before dawn, the Japanese communications staff officer came over with a solemn expression.
"Your Excellency, Captain, we have emergency power." The Japanese staff officer stood up and saluted, and reported loudly.
Upon hearing the urgent call from Baoying, the haggard-looking Japanese captain Takahashi looked away from the map: "What's going on?"
"The Chinese Army is launching a large-scale attack on Baoying overnight. Baoying is about to fall. Your Excellency, the detachment leader, urgently orders reinforcements."
"Nani?!"
After hearing this, the Japanese captain Takahashi could no longer remain calm. He took the message and took a look at it in the light of the fire, and his face suddenly darkened.
"Your Excellency, Captain, how is the situation?" Seeing that Captain Takahashi looked bad, the combat staff officer next to him asked curiously, also wanting to know the situation.
Captain Takahashi handed the message to the combat staff and said: "We underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Army. They have actually penetrated into the city, and several lines of defense have been breached in the city."
"Isn't there still a combat squadron in the city? Isn't it possible that we can't hold on for one night?" A Japanese officer couldn't believe it.
After all, the combat effectiveness of their squadron is very powerful. Even if they are up against a squadron of a squadron, they have a great chance of winning.
But now that a squadron relies on the fortifications in the city and is unable to stop the attack of the Chinese ** Squadron, this can only mean one thing, that is, the Chinese ** Squadron is extremely powerful.
"If what the detachment leader said is true, then there is no doubt that those who appeared in Baoying may be the main force of the Chinese Army." A Japanese staff officer judged.
They had never believed that the main force of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps would appear in Baoying, but judging from the current situation, they were already inseparable.
"The Chinese army is too cunning, and I was fooled by them again." Takahashi, the leader of the Japanese army, looked at the village with luxurious houses in the darkness, and his hands squeaked loudly.
Judging from all kinds of intelligence, they surrounded only some small groups of guerrillas, but the real main force of the guerrillas came back while they were in the countryside to attack Baoying again.
"What do we do now?"
Faced with the current situation, whether to eliminate the guerrillas here first and then return for reinforcements, or to abandon this place and immediately return to Baoying for reinforcements, has become a problem that the Japanese soldiers have to face.
"Since the main force of the China Army is in Baoying, the China Army here is no longer important." Takahashi, the Japanese captain, said.
"Order the First Squadron to stay and continue to besiege this place and the other Chinese guerrillas surrounded by us. The remaining troops will immediately return to Baoying to aid."
Now the Japanese captain Takahashi is eager to get his wings and fly back to Baoying, and then wipe out the main force of the guerrillas under Baoying City.
"Isn't it too thin to leave only one squadron? If the Chinese guerrilla forces that were divided and surrounded by us break through..." A Japanese staff officer was worried.
After all, they had finally surrounded these guerrillas, and if they were allowed to run away now, they would be in vain, and they were unwilling to do so.
"These guerrillas of the China Army have reached the point where they have run out of ammunition and food. There is only one squadron left to deal with it. Besides, there are security forces not far from here. They can be ordered to come over immediately to assist."
After hearing the words of the Japanese captain Takahashi, the Japanese staff members all nodded. For now, it seems that this is the only way.
The order from the Japanese captain Takahashi was quickly issued to the troops, and the Japanese gathered in the dark to prepare to return to Baoying's aid.
"Batalion Commander, Battalion Commander, there's something going on over there with the Japs."
The large-scale gathering of the Japanese made a lot of noise, and the brothers quickly notified the battalion commander Blacksmith.
The blacksmith did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, and immediately led a group of officers to the outermost defense line to observe the Japanese movements.
The Japanese have already set up tents in the wilderness, lit fires, and are now packing their things in a hurry. It can be said that there is a lot of people.
"I'm afraid the little devil is about to attack."
Seeing the Japanese yelling and screaming, the face of the company commander became particularly solemn.
Although they repelled the attacks of the Japs several times, the Japs were too strong. If they really launched a desperate attack, it would be difficult for them to withstand them.
"If you are afraid of a bird, the worst possible outcome is that the fish will die and the net will be broken!"
These besieged brothers all had a blood feud with the Japs and never lacked the courage to fight against the Japs.
"Yes, let's fight the little devil!" The brothers shouted, holding up their weapons.
"No, the Japs are trying to retreat." The blacksmith, the commander of the first battalion, said nothing and kept holding a telescope to observe what was going on over there with the Japs.
Although the field of vision of the telescope was limited at night, the little devil lit a lot of fires and used flashlights, which allowed him to see some things clearly.
"What? You want to retreat?" The brothers all looked at each other: "Maybe I saw it wrong."
The brothers are really unbelievable. After all, the Japs have an absolute advantage now. How can they retreat?
"The Japs are packing their things. It doesn't look like they are going to attack." The blacksmith added, handing the binoculars to the first company commander.
The first company commander doubtfully raised his telescope and observed, and sure enough, the Japanese were packing their things, and groups of Japanese were walking towards the distance with flashlights on.
Soon, the brothers were sure that the Japanese were really going to retreat, and their faces were filled with joy.
"Inform us and let the brothers prepare for a breakout."
Although they don't know what happened to the Japanese, the blacksmith also knows that this is a golden opportunity for them.
Now they are heavily surrounded by the Japs. No matter how many Japs withdraw, the encirclement will be weakened. As long as they fight hard, they can open a way out.
"Is it possible that the Japs are plotting to lure us out of the encirclement on purpose, and then surround and kill us in a flat place?" The first company commander frowned.
They can still have a bunker by relying on the village. If they reach the wilderness and the Japanese attack them, they will be dead.
"I can't control so much now, it's better than waiting to die here."
Although they know that there are many dangers once they leave the village, the brothers don't want to be surrounded by the Japanese here.
Blacksmith and the others observed for a while, and when they confirmed that most of the Japs were gone and only a small group of Japs were surrounding them, they began to break out of the encirclement.
Before they could break through, the mobile sentry on the outside caught a person sneaking over and sent him to the blacksmith.
"Captain Tie, I have finally found you." When this man saw the blacksmith, his face showed uncontrollable joy.
"Liangzi." When he saw this brother clearly, the blacksmith was also in disbelief: "Why are you here?"
Because this person is none other than one of Yang Ling's guards, and they are all familiar with the blacksmith.
"I came here with Commander Yang's order. The enemy's blockade was too strict. I stayed outside for a whole day and now I'm looking for an opportunity to sneak over."
When they heard that Liangzi came with Yang Ling's order, everyone cheered up. They had cut off contact with Yang Ling, and they didn't expect that Yang Ling still cared about them.
"What is the order?" asked the blacksmith.
Liangzi replied: "Chief Yang is leading his men to pretend to attack Baoying to attract the Japanese reinforcements, so that you can break out of the encirclement in time. After breaking through, all the troops will assemble in Yushugou."
"I'm still wondering why the Japanese suddenly withdrew. I think their home base is going to be taken away." Some brothers laughed.
"I told you that Chief Yang would not leave us alone, but you still don't believe it."
The brothers are all very happy. Now that they finally know the situation outside, they are no longer so blind and desperate.
"Without further delay, prepare to break out."
"I sneaked here from the west. There are not many Japanese there, so we can break out from there." Liangzi said hurriedly.
