The Kawaguchi detachment encountered big trouble during the mopping up operation against the Dameishan base area. Being helpless against the authentic tactics of the Dameishan Independent Regiment, Kawaguchi Heiji came up with the idea of retreating. [The fastest and most complete update of Maofu is free]
For the Japanese army, authentic warfare is a brand new way of fighting. The Japanese army has never been exposed to it before, so it naturally has no good countermeasures. As for how to crack it militarily, professional issues should be left to professional personnel. Wait for domestic
The military experts have found countermeasures, and it will not be too late for them to come to Damei Mountain to raid again.
Frankly speaking, Kawaguchi Heiji's idea of retreating is not unreasonable, because the Japanese army has nothing to do with the squadron hiding in the tunnel, and staying here is a waste of time. What's more, the Kawaguchi detachment has nearly 10,000 people and consumes a lot of food and wages every day.
All are huge numbers.
There is a more serious problem. Once the time in Meizhen exceeds a week, the supplies carried by the army will be exhausted. At that time, the supplies can only be transported from Feicheng or Pukou to Meizhen. But the problem is, from Feicheng or Pukou
The highway to Meizhen is not safe, and it is unclear whether the supplies will arrive as scheduled.
After hesitating for a moment, Kawaguchi Heiji still said to Tatsuya Nagashin: "Nagashin-san, give orders to all units to evacuate Meizhen before noon and return to Feicheng."
"Nani, withdraw the troops?" Yong Jinda also raised his head from the sand table after hearing this, his face full of disbelief.
It’s no wonder that Yongjin Tatsuya couldn’t believe it. It had only been less than two days since the Kawaguchi detachment advanced into Dameishan District, and they had only exchanged fire twice with the Dameishan Independent Regiment. Although they had paid a certain price of death, this was not enough for a
As far as the detachment is concerned, it is an insignificant number. How come it has reached the point of withdrawing troops?
After swallowing his saliva, Yongjin Tatsuya asked: "Your Excellency, Commander, are you serious?"
"You think I'm joking with you?" Kawaguchi Heiji glanced at Tatsuya Nagashin coldly.
Yong Jinda was suffocated when he heard this, and after a long while he asked in a low voice: "But, why is this?"
"Why?" Kawaguchi Heiji put his hands behind his back, looked at the sky outside the window, and sighed, "The reason is very simple, because the imperial army has nothing to do against the Chinese army hiding in the tunnel. Since there is nothing to do against the Chinese army, the imperial army will stay here."
Meizhen is just a waste of time and food, so why not just withdraw the troops as soon as possible?"
"But, but..." Tatsuya Yongjin said, "Isn't this a wasted trip?"
"It's better to make a trip in vain than to waste food and salary." Kawaguchi Heiji said, "What's more, the transportation and supply lines from Feicheng, Pukou to Meizhen are not safe. If we are trapped in Meizhen by the Chinese army, supplies will be delayed.
Until then, I’m afraid it won’t be as simple as a wasted trip and a loss of face.”
Yong Jinda was not reconciled and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, although the China Army's underground warfare methods are unheard of and very difficult to deal with, it does not necessarily mean that there is no way to crack them..."
Kawaguchi Heiji immediately interrupted Nagashin Tatsuya and said: "Do you have a way to solve it?"
Yongjin Tatsuya was speechless. If he had a solution, he would have offered it just now.
Kawaguchi Heiji snorted and said in a deep voice: "So, let's face reality."
"Hai." Yong Jinda also responded feebly, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait." Kawaguchi Heiji suddenly and unexpectedly called out to Nagashin Tatsuya again. Nagashin Tatsuya immediately turned around and looked at Kawaguchi Heiji with hopeful eyes, hoping that Kawaguchi Heiji would change his mind.
Unfortunately, Kawaguchi Heiji did not change his mind and said: "Eongjin-san, let the baggage regiment hand over all the oil to the engineer regiment, and then let the engineer regiment burn Meizhen and all the surrounding villages."
"All burned?" Yongjin Tatsuya said with a puzzled face, "Your Excellency Commander, if we burned Meizhen and all the surrounding villages, wouldn't it make the Chinese people here hate the Imperial Japanese Army even more?
The Chinese people will hate the imperial army even more, and in turn they will support the Chinese army even more, which will make it more difficult to deal with them in the future."
"What do you know?" Kawaguchi Heiji said coldly, "What I am doing is called drawing fire from under the cauldron. It is the only way to crack the China Army's tunnel tactics."
"The only way to crack the authentic warfare method?" Tatsuya Yongjin was stunned and said, "Didn't you just say there is no way?"
Kawaguchi Heiji said: "I just said there is no way, it is because there is no way militarily, but there is no way to crack it militarily, it does not mean that it cannot be cracked politically, but this trick can remove the firepower from the bottom, but it can crack the authentic tactics politically
.”
Nagashin Tatsuya stared at Kawaguchi Heiji with wide eyes, expressing his confusion. He really didn't understand how this radical attack method could defeat the independent regiment's authentic tactics?
Kawaguchi Heiji was too lazy to explain.
(Dividing line)
At this time, Xu Rui also had a premonition that something was not good.
As mentioned before, Xu Rui's hearing, smell, and vision are far different from ordinary people's, and his intuition is also very powerful. From the sudden withdrawal of the Japs from Xiaoli Village, Xu Rui had already keenly felt that the Japs might want to
Withdraw troops, at least the old devil Kawaguchi Heiji has had the idea of withdrawing troops.
Of course Xu Rui hoped that the Kawaguchi detachment would not withdraw so quickly, because such a large piece of fat from the Kawaguchi detachment reached his mouth. He just took a small bite, and the fat that reached his mouth was about to fly away. Of course Xu Rui did not
Happy, no matter what, I have to bite him a few times before I can let the Kawaguchi detachment go, right?
Therefore, Xu Rui was really worried that the Kawaguchi detachment would just leave.
"Old Xu, what are you talking about? Retreating the troops?" Wang Husheng didn't believe it, "How is it possible that the little devil has only been in our Dameishan base for a few days? He hasn't even fought a serious battle, and now we have to withdraw the troops? What about the little devil?
Isn’t this raid just child’s play? Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible.”
Xu Rui said: "Why is it impossible? If I were an old Japanese like Kawaguchi, I would withdraw my troops without hesitation."
Wang Husheng said: "But the problem is that you are not Kawaguchi Heiji. You know that our tunnels are powerful, but Kawaguchi Heiji, an old devil, doesn't know that. With the little devil's bird nature, they will never withdraw their troops."
"Just be afraid, Kawaguchi already knows how powerful we are." Xu Rui said.
Speaking of this, Xu Rui suddenly figured it out. No wonder before the war started, he always vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out. Now he understands that this tunnel battle is too unsolvable.
Beyond the capabilities of the little devil, the little devil is very likely to withdraw his troops knowing that there is no hope of victory.
It would be a good thing if the little devil could be forced to return without success, because in any case, it also means that the anti-mopping operation is won, and both the people in the base area and the morale of the independent regiment can be encouraged and improved.
But I was afraid that the little devil would not return empty-handed.
If the little devil accidentally does something else, he will be in big trouble.
Tunnel warfare cannot be cracked militarily, but that does not mean it cannot be cracked politically.
If the Japs had burned down all the Meizhen and surrounding villages before leaving, the independent regiment would have suffered no casualties and had not failed, but the people in the base area would have suffered and they would all be homeless.
This also means that from a political perspective, this counter-sweep operation has actually failed.
If it's just one time, it doesn't matter. The people in the base area can still afford the loss.
It's scary to be afraid. The little devils come here every once in a while, and they burn it just once. The people in the base area have gold and silver, and they have to be poor. Once or twice, the people
You won’t know what to say yet, but after three or four times, it’s impossible for the people to stop complaining.
Why do we send our own children to the army? Isn't it just to protect us? Now the little devils come to the base area to run wild at every turn, but your independent group has never been able to protect our property safety, so why should we send our own children to the army?
To the army?
If this continues for a long time, the independent regiment will lose the support of the people and will not be able to gain a foothold in Damei Mountain!
And this is to pull the fire under the cauldron at the political level. This is very powerful, because it has been proven in history. The public security war launched by Okamura Neji in North China is such a fire under the cauldron, and the effect is that, in a short period of time,
In just over a year, the strength of the Eighth Route Army dropped sharply from more than 400,000 to less than 200,000.
Therefore, Xu Rui is also very afraid that Kawaguchi Heiji will give him a blow.
But things in the world are like this, the more you fear something, the more it will happen.
Xu Rui was worried when Sai Hongfu walked in with a telegram.
After receiving the telegram and only looking at it, Xu Rui's expression changed. Wang Husheng noticed that Xu Rui's expression was different, so he took the telegram from his hand. Then Wang Husheng immediately shouted.
"My dear, is this old Jaap Kawaguchi really going to withdraw his troops?" Wang Husheng said in surprise.
That's right, it was a surprise. Leng Tiefeng's observation post reported that the Japanese were packing up and seemed to be withdrawing their troops. Wang Husheng's first reaction after seeing this was that he was happy, because the Japanese would withdraw from Meizhen at this time and return without success.
Returning without success means that the independent regiment has succeeded in this anti-mopping operation.
However, Xu Rui poured cold water on Wang Husheng and said: "Political Commissar, you are too happy too early. Even if the little devil chooses to withdraw his troops, he will never just pat his ass and leave. If I am not wrong,
If so, the Japanese will definitely be preparing to set fire to it."
"Set fire?" Wang Husheng said in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Xu Rui sighed: "What I mean is that the Japs will definitely set fire to Meizhen and all the surrounding villages before leaving. The people in the base area will soon be homeless."
"What?" Wang Husheng's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he said anxiously, "That won't work, we have to stop them!"
"Stop them?" Xu Rui smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "How to stop them? The devils are eager for us to show up so that they can fight us in a decisive battle."
"Then what should we do?" Wang Husheng asked, "Are we just going to watch the Japanese burn down the whole town?"
Xu Rui sighed: "I'm afraid this is the only way."
