Chapter 1157: A Big Table of Meals (First Update!) )
"I see!" He Jun exclaimed with a sudden realization.
Then he stared at Li Hao with a twinkle in his eyes and asked, "Regiment leader, now that the little devil has been fooled, how can we fight!" ”
"I just calculated, minus the two striking troops, there are only three artillery squadrons left in our assembly area with less than three hundred artillery, one infantry squadron, and two companies of the puppet army, a total of more than 500 people."
"As long as we kill these two strike troops, we will definitely be able to eliminate the remaining Japanese puppet army before they withdraw to Datong."
Li Hao thought for a moment and replied, "Do you remember the wolf pack tactics I once told you?" ”
"Remember!" He Jun's eyes lit up and he replied.
"Then we'll use wolf pack tactics against these two strike forces." Li Hao made a decision immediately.
"The first step is to retreat while fighting the sneak attack troops, and lead the Japanese puppet army deep into the mountains."
"The terrain there is more complicated, with bushes and a lot of forests, and the troops hide in them in squads and platoons to fight the enemy, and even if the little devil planes fly close to the ground, they can't find any trace of us."
"When the Japanese puppet army entered the pocket formation, the ambush troops launched an attack from all directions, giving the enemy the illusion that the Eighth Route Army was all over the mountains, so that they could not be guarded against it, and could only be beaten passively. Little by little by us. ”
"The Hunyuan Independent Battalion is all under your command to deal with the Japanese puppet army killed in the artillery position."
"The regimental headquarters is directly under the guard company, the spy company, and the independent company, and I personally command it to deal with the Japanese puppet army killed in the assembly area."
"The Flying Thunder Artillery Unit is divided into two and fights with us."
"The reconnaissance company stays here and keeps an eye on the remaining Japanese puppet army."
Captain Ishida was the commander of the Japanese puppet army that came out of the assembly area.
As a veteran who has been promoted step by step from an ordinary soldier relying on his military exploits, he has a lot of combat experience and is very brave.
After receiving the order to lead the attack, Captain Ishida's first reaction was that his opportunity to perform meritorious service had come.
The chief of staff is of the rank of Dazuo, and is the closest senior officer to the division commander.
He is only a captain squadron leader, regardless of his rank or position, he is separated from the chief of staff by several levels, and he has almost no chance to meet in peacetime.
If he can defeat the sneak attack of the garrison regiment in the next sortie, he will definitely attract the attention of the chief of staff, and then get his affirmation and promotion.
I have saved enough military merits to be promoted to the captain of Shaozuo, and what I lack now is an opportunity.
If he can seize the opportunity and get the advice of the chief of staff, the promotion to the captain of the Shaozuo Brigade will definitely be a sure thing.
With this in mind, Captain Ishida led his troops to kill them as soon as he received the order to attack.
Tightly biting behind the garrison raiding troops, he was afraid that he would let them slip away if he didn't pay attention.
"Company commander, the devil bites us too hard, if we continue like this, we will catch up in ten minutes at most, and then outflank us from both wings." The instructor of the spy company said anxiously.
The company commander was not in a hurry at all, and comforted him very confidently: "Don't panic, I can tell you for sure that the closer the devil follows, the worse he will die in the end." ”
"Just wait and see the show! The head of the regiment has thought of these problems for a long time, and has prepared solutions for us. ”
"Boom ......"
As soon as he finished speaking, an explosion sounded behind him.
The company commander's eyes lit up and said: "It must be the regiment commander who has started to act, we will continue to retreat and take the devils to the mountains, where the regiment commander has prepared a table of dishes for them." ”
After the reformation of the garrison regiment, the assault team remained the most combat-ready unit in the whole regiment, and then the guard company.
And in the middle of the guard company, the most powerful is undoubtedly the guard squad.
In the words of Xiao Yuan, the captain of the commando, every soldier in the guard squad has reached the level of entering the commando, and if there is a vacancy in the commando, they can directly join the commando without any assessment.
The explosion just now was caused by the guard squad.
The mountainous terrain is complex, and the ground is overgrown with weeds, which is a natural battlefield for arranging treacherous mines.
Before the spy company retreated, they had arranged a lot of tricky mines on the road, and after the spy company passed, they immediately hung strings on these tricky thunders and waited for the devils to hit them.
"Boom ......"
Two successive thunderbolts exploded at the same time, black smoke quickly rose in the flying firelight, and three devils fell to the ground with a scream, two of them quickly lost their breath, and one devil hugged his right leg that had been blown off, and let out a painful wail while squirming.
"Sir, the terrain ahead is too complicated, and in the face of the treacherous mines arranged by the Eighth Route Army, we can't guard against it at all." A second lieutenant in the forward ran up to Captain Ishida and reported with both heartache and helplessness.
"We only encountered three treacherous mines, and we killed three imperial soldiers and wounded two."
"If this continues, the casualties of the imperial army will definitely increase, and the morale will become more and more low."
"Let the Imperial Army take the lead." Captain Ishida gritted his teeth and ordered.
After thinking for a while, he continued to order: "You lead the forward troops to personally supervise the battle, and if anyone is afraid to move forward, directly engage in military law." ”
"I don't care what method you use, I must ensure that the speed of the troops' march is not affected."
"Hey!" The second lieutenant replied immediately.
The low-level officers of the Japanese army are generally veterans, and they have killed countless people and are very ruthless.
In their eyes, the lives of ten imperial armies are not worth one imperial army.
As long as there are no casualties among the Imperial Army, no matter how many Imperial Army deaths are, they will not be heartbroken.
The garrison's view of the Imperial Allied Army was the opposite.
Although the Imperial Allied Army is also an enemy, it is Chinese after all, and most of the Imperial Allied Army is forced to be a scoundrel to give life to the devil.
If he can be captured, there is a good chance that he will join the Eighth Route Army and become his comrade-in-arms.
So you can't just ignore them like you do with devils.
Seeing that the devil opened the way with the puppet army, the guard squad decisively stopped arranging tricks.
"Bomb with mortars!" The guard squad leader made a decision on the spot.
"Our task is to slow down the pursuit of the devils and reduce the pressure on the special service company, not to stop them."
"As long as we can kill the devils and make them worry about chasing them, our goal will be achieved."
Two hours later, Captain Ishida's sharpness had obviously been worn off a lot, and the whole person was not as arrogant and confident as he was at the beginning.
The Eighth Route Army, which was chasing and killing by itself, seemed to be deliberate, speeding up the march when it was close to itself, and slowing down the march when it was far away, and the two troops always maintained a distance of 400 meters.
The dozen or so Eighth Route Army soldiers who were active around him hated Captain Ishida so much that he gritted his teeth.
Thunder, shells, bullets, staring at the Imperial Army.
In just two hours, more than 20 of the more than 300 imperial troops under his command had died, and more than a dozen were seriously wounded.
