Chapter 33: Tactics
There was only a heavy rain last night, and the soil under the ground was already soaked with rain. Unable to find the dry soil, a soldier picked out a handful of thin mud from the ground and pasted it for the young man under the mountain.
Yamashita has never seen a wound covered with mud when he grows so big. How black and dirty is the mud underground? How many bacteria are on it? Will there be parasite eggs? If it causes an infection in the wound, will it kill you? Besides, this thing is not comfortable when it sticks to the wound, it hurts! Yamashita Shaozo let out another terrible scream.
The one who dug the mud just now was annoyed, and you still don't appreciate the feelings I will treat you? The man casually pulled out another piece of mud from the ground and covered the devil's mouth. This is good, Yamashita Yong can't call it even if he wants to.
Ji Jinbiao looked with interest at a few of his subordinates who could make up and change their clothes, and seeing that the devil was struggling and unable to shout, he lost interest. Let his soldiers tie up the devil's hands and feet, put it horizontally on the horse's back, just like when he robbed a woman back to the cottage, and left on the horse.
As for the identity of this devil, when he is free, he has a way to make this devil tell the truth! Now that the battle is not over, Ji Jinbiao has to hurry up and lead the troops to the battlefield to kill the devils!
Ji Jinbiao didn't know that the make-up devil he captured was the commander of this Japanese army, and he didn't know what kind of chain reaction would be brought about by capturing Yamashita alive. He only knew that he had caught a devil who seemed to have some identity, and there were more devils on the battlefield that he needed to fight and kill!
Isamu Yamashita is the captain of the Second Brigade of the Japanese Army, and even if he absconds with makeup, there will be devils who will pay attention to him, because he himself is the focus of this battlefield. There were a few devils who wanted to run with Yamashita Shaozo but didn't have time to run over because of the distance, and they witnessed the arrest of Yamashita Shaoza.
Ji Jinbiao's cavalry ran fast, and after grabbing the mountain bravery, the people got on their horses and went to fight elsewhere, and the devils who witnessed the incident were too late to save people! However, although these boys can't save people with their actions, they can use their voices to pass on the news of Shaozuo's arrest!
"Shaozo has been arrested! Yamashita Shaozo was captured by a group of cavalry! These witnesses told the devil soldiers they had seen and met, and the devil soldiers were shocked and then told the other devils, and the news spread as quickly as if they had spread their wings among the Japanese troops in the second brigade.
The original intention of the initiator was to figure out this way so that the imperial officers and soldiers who knew about this matter could rescue the captured Shaozuo. The more people who know, the better the chance of rescue! However, what they never expected was that this news actually caused panic among the Japanese army!
The morale of the devils, which had already been reduced, fell sharply after the news of Shaozuo's arrest spread, and even the devil officers on the battlefield were difficult to control, and the devils in the Yamashita brigade showed signs of being completely out of control!
The cavalry unit led by Ji Jinbiao and Xiong Wei, as the protagonists of this rumor, was naturally intercepted and blocked by some Japanese troops who wanted to rescue Yamashita Yong. However, with the current state of the Japanese army on the battlefield, when a small group of devils faced the charge of our cavalry force, they were all torn to pieces without exception.
As for the big share of devils, where will there be a big share of devils after the rumors of Shao Zuo's capture appear?
Originally, there were three infantry squadrons besieging Mantou Ridge, and in order to rescue his brigade headquarters, Yamashita Ito's squadron was broken, Sato and Yamamoto's two squadrons, and the artillery squad were ordered to return to the defense.
Liu Dong, the chief of staff who was commanding the battle on the mountain, found that the devil's strength had been greatly reduced, so he immediately made a decision and personally led his troops down the hillside to attack the broken Ito squadron.
Ito's squadron had already lost its strength after fighting from the bottom to the top of Mantou Ridge for most of the day, and now the common enemy of their three squadrons suddenly rushed down to deal with him with a squadron, so where could he stop it?
Originally, in terms of the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, they may not really be able to withstand it, mainly because the influence of the spiritual level is too great! With the strength of three squadrons, the onslaught for most of the day had no effect at all. Now that the other two squadrons have run away, even the artillery squad has withdrawn, leaving the Ito squadron itself to resist the attack of the Chinese from top to bottom, how can they resist? Isn't this a stupid boy?
As soon as Liu Dong led the troops to make contact with the devils, he found that the problem was wrong, and these devils were also impatient to fight! If that's the case, then you're welcome! Liu Dong ordered all the officers and soldiers of the Mantouling defenders to immediately launch a full-scale attack on the enemy in front of them! That is, everyone must pick up their guns to fight, and the whole army will charge, including Liu Dong himself!
Liu Dong knew how to grasp the shape of the battlefield, and Yang Jinsheng would lead the soldiers to charge. These two people were in one gear, and the less than a hundred devils left in Ito's squadron were quickly cut into several pieces, and then they were overwhelmed by the crowd of our army's charge!
For the devils who have lost their establishment and become stragglers, Liu Dong has adopted the practice of ignoring them. What he wants is to pursue the victory, strive to defeat the main force of the Japanese army as much as possible, and achieve an overall victory on the battlefield!
When Liu Dong was the chief of staff in Zhang Zongchang's army, he had seen how Zhang Zongchang fought. Let go of the small and grasp the big, as long as the overall battle situation is won, the remaining stragglers will not be a problem at all! Otherwise, how could Zhang Zongchang's troops expand so quickly?
Of course, the devils were not those opponents of Zhang Zongchang at the beginning, and it was impossible for Liu Dong to incorporate these devil soldiers into the cavalry brigade. But some of the tactics here still work. Just like now, Liu Dong let go of those scattered devils, and led a large army to chase down the two retreating devil squadrons!
Sato and Yamamoto, the two devil squadron leaders, were ordered to rush to the aid of the brigade headquarters, but before they reached the brigade headquarters, they heard the news that Yamashita Shaozo had been captured! The two squadron leaders are experienced old devils, and they still have a little battlefield experience. As soon as the two devils discussed, this news could not be trusted, so they quickly contacted the brigade headquarters, as long as they made sure that His Excellency Shaozuo was safe and sound.
The phone doesn't work! This is a military wireless phone, it is impossible to have a zĂ i busy line or no signal problem, now this situation can only mean that the other party is turned off or there is no one in front of the radio!
The two devils rushed to the brigade headquarters with their troops in a panic, but they met the cavalry troops led by Ji Jinbiao and Xiong Wei, two fierce generals, halfway through. When the two sides meet, it is a hard-fought battle!
Ten minutes later, the two cavalry units were defeated and withdrew. However, it is also possible that the cavalry troops retreated on their own initiative. Cavalry is originally a mobile class, and it is one of the tactics of people to run after a fight, and then come back to fight after a circle.
Second Lieutenant Yoshino, the leader of the artillery squad, reminded the two squadron leaders: I heard that Yamashita Shaozo was captured by the Chinese cavalry, could it be the two cavalry just now?
