The first thousand one hundred and eighty-six chapters do the opposite
Yang Ling and his brothers from the company pretended to be the main force of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps and fled south. Thousands of Japanese soldiers followed closely behind them, each one running like a pug, panting heavily.
The exhausted Japanese soldiers were already cursing in their hearts, why are these guerrillas like rabbits jumping so fast?
Although the Japanese soldiers have undergone rigorous training, they have not won many tough battles since they entered China's territory.
The main force of the Chinese ** Corps has been pushed back to southwest China by their field troops, and their supplementary troops responsible for guarding the occupied areas are naturally idle.
The Japanese soldiers relied on their tyrannical force to commit evil acts in the occupied areas. They hardly had to do anything. The traitors who maintained their own association brought good wine and meat to them.
If they feel that they have nothing to do in the city, they will go to the villages in the countryside in small groups to catch some chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep and women. Anyway, no one resists them, so they can do whatever they want.
The Japanese soldiers ate well and drank well, and no one touched the canned military cans they were issued. After all, there was fresh chicken, duck, and fish to eat, so who would eat canned food?
The Japanese soldiers were enjoying themselves, so they naturally carried the training with them. Moreover, most of them were supplementary soldiers or heavy supplies. They didn't have many combat missions, so they didn't pay much attention to training.
In this short period of time, these Japanese soldiers have been drained by alcohol and sex. They used to have strong explosive power and their combat effectiveness was not inferior to that of combat troops, but now they have big bellies and cannot run.
Although the detachment leader Juichi Watanabe organized the troops to conduct actual combat training again after taking office, after all, the time was short, and there was a long way to go before returning to peak combat effectiveness.
The Japs were eating a lot of meat and fish, and riding in trucks when they went out. On the other hand, the officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps were constantly fighting and training, and were always in a fighting state.
Now the two sides were engaged in a chase. The guerrilla brothers, who often carried out armed training, relied on their fast legs to throw the little Japanese away from a distance.
Now that the little devil had no truck to travel around, he started the pursuit on foot, which made it miserable.
The key is that Yang Ling and the others don't play their cards according to common sense. Sometimes they run south, sometimes east, and their directions are always erratic.
Sometimes the kid chases him far away only to realize that he has lost him, and gunshots are heard from the other direction.
They hurried towards the place where the gunshots were heard, and the repeated back and forth made the Japanese exhausted.
The guerrillas did not just run away, but often set up ambushes in areas with complex terrain.
Many pursuers who are excited and unprepared will slip into an ambush if they are not careful. When a hail of bullets comes over them, most of them will be killed or injured.
When the surrounding troops closed in, apart from the stripped corpses all over the ground, not even a shadow of the guerrillas could be seen.
Although the Japanese howled with anger, they had nothing to do with the guerrilla brothers. Instead, they were teased and made to run around.
The Japanese officers were not fools, so they naturally knew that the guerrillas were deliberately leading them in circles, draining their energy, and attacking them during the movement.
After two days of fruitless pursuit, several Japanese commanders gathered together for a meeting and decided to change their current passive state and proactively set up an interception, otherwise they would never be able to catch up.
Part of the Japanese troops began to set up blockades along various roads and bridges to prevent the guerrillas from suddenly turning back.
And some Japanese soldiers did not follow the guerrillas in pursuit, but went directly to the front in the direction of the guerrillas' escape to build an interception net.
The remaining Japanese soldiers followed the guerrillas unhurriedly and drove the guerrillas towards the predetermined area.
"Sir, something is wrong. Why didn't the little devil catch up?"
Yang Ling and the others attacked another Japanese search team by a river, but after running for a while, they found that the Japanese were no longer chasing after them as before.
Once the Japs start chasing them, Yang Ling and the others can lead the Japs by the nose and lead them in circles, making the Japs dizzy and then calmly jump out of the encirclement.
But now even if the little devil discovers them, he is not in a hurry to catch up with them. Instead, he drives them from different directions and drives them in one direction.
"I'm afraid the little devil has set a dragnet ahead and is waiting for us to get in."
After being reminded by Deputy Battalion Commander Wang Dongming, Yang Ling thought for a moment and guessed the little devil's intention.
"Then what should we do now?"
Hearing that this was a conspiracy by the Japs, everyone turned their attention to Yang Ling.
"We can't go any further, we have to turn around and go back." Yang Ling thought for a while and then ordered.
"But there are a lot of Japanese behind us. If we turn around, we will run into them head-on."
"Some people put on the clothes of little Japs, and we pretend to be Japs to fish in troubled waters."
Yang Ling and the others have discovered that several Japanese troops with brigade-level numbers have appeared in this area. They have ambushed several Japanese troops and seized a lot of military uniforms. They are going to take them back and sew them into military uniforms. Now they can only do it temporarily.
Put it on.
The brothers of the Fourth Company are considered to be the combat troops of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps. They all use the same 38 rifles and other Japanese equipment. As long as they put on their clothes and don't talk, they are no different from the Japanese.
Soon, most of the brothers put on the uniforms and equipment of the Japs, and the deputy battalion commander Wang Dongming wore the uniform of a Japs lieutenant.
Wang Dongming, disguised as a Japanese lieutenant, took some of his brothers to disguise themselves as young Japanese soldiers, while Yang Ling and others pretended to be prisoners, preparing to take advantage of the opportunity to escape from the encirclement.
Yang Ling and the others randomly fired a burst of gunfire on the spot, then blew up a few grenades to pretend to be a fighting scene, and then everyone turned around and walked back in a swaggering manner.
After walking for less than a few minutes, they ran into a Japanese squad of more than fifty people rushing towards them.
"Except those who can speak Japanese, no one else can speak."
Seeing the Japanese soldiers appearing in the field of vision, everyone became nervous, and Yang Ling had to remind them again in a low voice.
Deputy Battalion Commander Wang Dongming and the others were walking outside disguised as little Japs, while Yang Ling and the others were walking inside empty-handed, slowly walking toward the Japs.
When the Japs squad leader heard the gunfire and ran over, he was startled when he saw someone appearing in front of him. He waved his hand hastily, and all the Japs fell down.
"We are from the Takahashi Brigade, which unit are you from?"
Seeing that the Japanese were all lying down, Wang Dongming hurriedly stepped forward, waved to the Japanese opposite and shouted in Japanese.
Only then did the Japanese see clearly that it was their own people who had captured a group of guerrillas and were taking them into custody.
"We are from the Tanichuan Brigade." The Japanese replied.
The leader of the Japanese team heard Wang Dongming speak Japanese and saw that their bodies were covered in gunpowder smoke and blood. He didn't have any doubts. He made a safe gesture to the back, and then led the team over.
Wang Dongming took two brothers disguised as Japs and went forward to talk to the Japs team leader, while the brothers stayed where they were and waited.
Wang Dongming has the rank of lieutenant, and the squad leader opposite has the rank of second lieutenant. The Japanese squad leader nodded and bowed in apology, making his brothers look stunned.
Soon, the Japanese team leader led his men past the crowd and pursued in the direction pointed by Wang Dongming.
When the little devil was gone, everyone's hearts dropped. Unknowingly, the hands holding the guns were sweating. If there had been a slight mistake and the secret had been revealed, it would have been a fierce battle.
"Let's go, keep walking." Everyone did not dare to stop and continued walking in the opposite direction in the direction the Japs team came from.
They also encountered some small Japanese troops along the way, but the two sides greeted each other from afar and after confirming each other's identities, they went their separate ways, allowing Yang Ling and the others to escape from the encirclement without any danger.
