Major General Ono's face became more and more ugly, and finally he couldn't help but cursed: "Baga, we can't be so passive anymore. We must have countermeasures to prevent the independent regiment from continuing to fire artillery shells at our station. We can't bear such a huge attack."
casualties!"
"The general is wise, and this is what the humble position means!" the chief of staff immediately said.
"The humble position means to dispatch an infantry squadron, go directly into the woods, find this Eighth Route Army, and destroy them!" When he said this, the chief of staff paused for a moment.
Seeing Ono's pensive expression, he continued his analysis: "The Eighth Route Army that attacked us was equipped with six mortars. Given the importance the Eighth Route Army attaches to mortars, infantry to protect these artillery units must be indispensable. As long as we send troops, we will definitely find them.
them."
Ono's brows furrowed immediately, but he did not object directly.
"If a squadron enters the mountains, they will definitely find the Eighth Route Army. But have you ever thought about the possibility that the Eighth Route Army would find us first and then ambush us in the woods? If a squadron has such a big target, it is possible for the Eighth Route Army to attack the surrounding area.
The forest is more familiar to them, and for them, the forest is full of battlefields!"
The chief of staff's face instantly turned pale.
Ono had no direct objection and left no sympathy for himself. However, what Ono said was true, and he could not find any explanation.
In the end, he could only reply with a helpless expression: "But, General, I can't think of any other solution except this. Unless we can send out bombers to chase them and bomb them. But, it's night now, and it's impossible to send out bombers!"
"The large army must not move!" Ono replied decisively.
Then he changed the topic and said: "But, we can dispatch a small force, a small force that the Eighth Route Army cannot detect!"
"Don't the Eighth Route Army like to fight guerrilla warfare and are good at fighting guerrilla warfare? This time, I will use the Eighth Route Army's best guerrilla warfare to crack their artillery guerrilla warfare!"
“In Chinese language, it’s called repaying him with his own way!”
The chief of staff's expression changed again, but this time he was excited.
"General, this is a good idea. If you attack in units of combat units, the Eighth Route Army will definitely not notice it. But they can easily find the Eighth Route Army through the sound of artillery, and then use the guerrilla warfare that the Eighth Route Army is good at to continuously attack them, so that they have no chance to stop and fire!
"
The chief of staff became more excited as he talked and continued his analysis.
"Also, even if the Eighth Route Army discovers our combat detachment and then uses their familiarity with the terrain to ambush us, we will lose one or two combat detachments at most, but the Eighth Route Army will definitely be eliminated, and we will definitely make a profit!"
More than half an hour later, Zeng Quan led two artillery platoons to launch a third attack on the Japanese garrison.
Just when the first round of shells had just been fired, "Bah, bang, bang..." a series of gunshots suddenly rang out in the dark surrounding forest, and then several soldiers were seen falling down in response, including two gunners.
.
"The artillery continued to fire, and then retreated as planned. The others were on alert to counterattack. They must be the Japanese. We must find them and kill them!"
"Da da da!" Before Zeng Quan finished his order, the crooked handles of a company's equipment began to fire at the place where the gunfire had just been fired. An infantry platoon, under the cover of machine guns, quickly surrounded it.
"Chief of Staff, the Japanese who attacked us ran away, leaving only some bullet casings." Not long after, a platoon leader ran over with his head lowered and dejected.
"How many are there!" Zeng Quan asked with a frown.
"A combat unit in the sky!" the platoon leader replied immediately.
"Pap tap tap... tap tap tap..." Suddenly, another burst of gunfire rang out in the surrounding woods.
Because the opponent not only had rifles but also machine guns, seven or eight soldiers fell to the ground miserably on the spot.
"Da da da... the second platoon counterattacks head-on, and the third platoon outflanks them and kills them!" This time, before Zeng Quan could give an order, company commander Yang Xiong issued a counterattack order.
Soon the gunfire ended.
"Chief of Staff, only one Japanese was killed, the others escaped!" Yang Xiong ran over and reported, his face both aggrieved and angry.
He had killed so many soldiers, but only one Japanese soldier was killed. It would be uncomfortable for anyone else.
"Move now, move the position quickly, the Japanese artillery fire is about to counterattack!" At this moment, the order to move came from the artillery position.
Zeng Quan, who frowned, immediately ordered: "Move first!"
"Let the soldiers be more vigilant. The forest is very dense. If the Japanese want to sneak attack, we can only attack at close range. If there is any movement, shoot back immediately!"
On the way to transfer, no one was attacked. But as soon as the troops stopped and the six mortars had not been set up, gunfire rang out.
Although only three soldiers died, Yang Xiong also commanded the troops to quickly counterattack.
However, Zeng Quan's face suddenly turned pale, and then he hurriedly ordered.
"The artillery stops setting up artillery and moves immediately!"
After walking less than fifty meters, the place where everyone had stayed was covered by artillery fire. Many people, including Zeng Quan, had expressions on their faces as if they were surviving a disaster.
"It must have been the gunfire from the Japanese sneak attack troops that attracted the artillery fire?" Yang Xiong analyzed with a stern face.
"We must kill the Japs who are moving around us, otherwise our whereabouts will not be hidden at all, and the Japs' artillery fire will follow us!" Zeng Quan said with a firm face.
Yang Xiong's face showed an expression of embarrassment.
"But these little Japs are so cunning. They used the cover of the forest to fire only one round of bullets each time and then retreated after the attack. In the counterattack just now, it took a lot of effort for the comrades to kill two little Japs!"
"Guerrilla warfare!" Three words suddenly popped out of Zeng Quan's mouth.
"Hit and run, and it's a small group of troops fighting dispersedly. Isn't this just the guerrilla warfare we usually use against the Japanese?" Seeing that Yang Xiong didn't react, Zeng Quan immediately explained.
"It's true!" Yang Xiong's face showed an expression of sudden realization.
Then he said with a sneer: "The Japanese are really good at applying what they have learned, but they have forgotten that we, the Eighth Route Army, are the ancestors of guerrilla warfare. If they use guerrilla warfare to deal with us, they are just pointing the gun at themselves and destroying themselves!"
The expression on Zeng Quan's face is also very wonderful.
There was emotion, shock, and ridicule. Then he stared at Yang Xiong and asked.
"Is there a solution already?"
"As long as you know how the Japs were defeated and what the specific methods were, everything else is easy to explain!" Yang Xiong affirmed.
