Chapter 267 Tune the tiger away from the mountain!
When Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe followed the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops and fought all the way to 500 meters away from the battlefield, an accident happened.
The gunshots and explosions that were still ringing just now suddenly stopped.
"Have the attacking troops been killed?" Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe's heart skipped a beat, and a very bad premonition came into his mind.
But he quickly rejected the idea.
The total number of attacking troops was more than 700. Although the Imperial Army was larger than the Imperial Army, there was still an infantry squadron of nearly 200 people in total!
How could so many troops be killed in such a short period of time?
And even if the battle ends, it won't end so suddenly.
Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe himself had fought many battles. Even when a battle was about to end, the sound of gunfire would slowly stop, rather than stop abruptly, as if the battle just now had never happened.
"There is a conspiracy here!" Another idea came to Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe's mind, and it was very strong.
Although he didn't know what the conspiracy was, the soldier's fighting spirit and unwillingness to admit defeat encouraged him to find out.
It was late at night, and after running so far, there was no way he could return without success.
Moreover, the Eighth Route Army had such a big battle, with light and heavy machine guns and mortars. It was definitely not just to make a sound for themselves. There must be a conspiracy in it.
Now that he has arrived and brought the main force to fight all the way, he must find out what the conspiracy is no matter what.
"The troops continue to move forward. I want to know what the Eighth Route Army has done tonight!" Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe ordered with a stern face.
"The troops have stepped up their vigilance. If they are ambushed by the Eighth Route Army, they will immediately switch to defense and hold them back. The other two imperial troops will circle around to outflank and attack them!"
"No matter what conspiracy they play tonight, we will break their conspiracy and kill them!"
Commander Watanabe regained his confidence and ordered with a murderous look on his face.
He led the troops and rushed forward another three hundred meters. When he was already very close to the so-called battlefield, there was no movement on the battlefield.
It's too quiet out front.
Just when Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe frowned again, the long-lost gunshots and explosions rang out again.
But not in front, but in the station behind him.
"Tune the tiger away from the mountain!"
Lieutenant Commander Watanabe was shocked, and these four words came to his mind subconsciously.
The deputy captain also noticed it and quickly reminded: "Sir, have we fallen into the Eighth Route Army's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain? The Eighth Route Army used the trick to lure us here, and then took the opportunity to attack our empty military base."
If this is true, the station is in danger, and this danger is caused by himself.
Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe's brows suddenly knitted into a big "Sichuan" sign, and his expression became ugly.
The vice-captain seemed to see the captain's dilemma and hesitated for a moment before continuing: "Sir, I think there is another possibility!"
"Surround Wei and rescue Zhao!"
"We still don't know exactly what happened ahead, but one thing is certain. The three-pronged attack force we sent will never be killed by the Eighth Route Army in such a short period of time!"
"Will the Eighth Route Army force us to retreat by attacking our base and buy time for them to continue besieging the three-pronged troops?"
Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe looked much better and replied calmly: "It's possible!"
"Then what should we do?" a squadron leader nearby shouted anxiously.
"It's possible to surround Wei and rescue Zhao, and it's also possible to lure the tiger away from the mountain. We can't just wait here and do nothing!"
"There is really no other way. We can divide our forces, continue to advance all the way, and fight all the way back to the base!"
"The Eighth Route Army is too cunning, and their main force is probably ambushing us and watching us. It is too dangerous to divide our troops now!"
"What should we do?" the squadron leader asked anxiously.
Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe hesitated for a few seconds and then gritted his teeth and ordered: "The troops continue to move forward!"
"There are five to six hundred people from the Imperial Army and the Imperial Association Army remaining at the station. They rely on their positions for defense. The Imperial Association Army's combat effectiveness is quite acceptable!"
"Even if the Eighth Route Army uses a tactic to divert the tiger away from the mountain, with the strength of the remaining garrison, they will definitely be able to hold on until we return for reinforcements!"
"Keep moving forward, rush to the battlefield just now to see what's going on, and then return to the reinforcement station!"
"This place is not far from the battlefield just now, and we can't waste more than a few minutes!"
The Japanese and puppet troops were temporarily stationed. Hong Linfeng, who was at the front, held a box gun and had already emptied three magazines of bullets.
Seeing that there were not many enemies left in front of him, he simply put the box cannon into his holster, took the rifle on his back in his hand, loaded the bullet, and continued to rush forward.
The last unarmed Japanese gunner was stabbed to death by him, and behind him were only the Japanese corpses lying on the ground, and the only remaining puppet soldiers kneeling on the ground holding their heads.
They looked at the Eighth Route Army around them as if they were seeing a god of death, and were very frightened.
These Eighth Route Army troops were so ruthless. This was the first impression these puppet troops had on Hong Linfeng.
Kill the Japanese when you encounter them. After hitting them with bullets, stab them again with a bayonet to make sure there are no survivors.
Then he used a grenade to blow up the cannons. In the blink of an eye, the six mountain cannons and two infantry cannons that were regarded as treasures by the Japanese were blown into scrap metal. There was no heartache at all.
Hong Linfeng didn't care what they thought. Although the cannon exploded, the boxes of shells piled next to the cannon had not exploded yet.
The captain said that the cannon can be seized after it is gone, but the cannonballs are different, they have many other uses, and they are not wasted when stored.
Now that there are no artillery, these shells that everyone can move are also treasures.
He frowned and ordered: "What are you still doing? Everyone put down their weapons and stand up. Each person should carry a box of shells. Retreat with us and get out of here!"
"If you don't obey orders, these devils will be your fate!"
"We have killed enough little Japs today, and we have also killed a lot of puppet soldiers who were willing to sacrifice their lives for the Japs. We don't mind killing two more people!"
"The machine gun squad of the fire platoon will keep an eye on them as they carry the shells and retreat. If anyone disobeys, I will shoot them with my machine gun!"
"Others are cleaning the battlefield. We only want weapons, ammunition and medicine, and nothing else."
"Everyone must carry at least five guns for me when they go back. If there are no gun slings, they will carry ammunition for me. I will punish anyone who returns empty-handed!"
When Li Hao led his men to fight all the way to the puppet army headquarters, the commander of the puppet army had already fled with his men.
He ran away with a map in the tent that was too late to take away, so he ordered: "Pack up all the maps and take them away. Don't leave any of them to the Japanese~"
"Others go to the prison camp to look for ammunition and medicine, and let the prisoners carry them back. We are not empty-handed. The more we can carry back, the better!"
"Behind the guard platoon, prepare more grenades to blow up all the supplies and ammunition that the Japanese transport team cannot take away!"
"We can't let the devils use these equipment and ammunition to kill our Eighth Route Army members!"
