1423 Fishing Tactics

Kumamoto Masaki did not burst into flames when he saw the kimono that the woman was wearing, but his face was expressionless, but his subordinates shouted one after another: "Damn Shina people, dare to insult our samurai of the Great Japanese Empire like this, we must go out and give them some powerful tastes." ”

Kumamoto waved his hand coldly, stopping his subordinates from talking, and then asked the officer who sent the things in: "Who sent these things?" ”

The officer said: "It was a Korean businessman, and when he passed by here, he was caught by Lin Yuan's troops and asked him to deliver the letter." ”

Kumamoto Shoichi nodded lightly and said, "Very good." Then he lowered his head and pondered, and when Kumamoto Shoichi's subordinates saw that Kumamoto Shoichi was not angry at all, they couldn't help but walk up to him and said, "Captain, aren't we going to fight that person?" Is this the end of the matter? How can the dignity of our samurai of the Great Japanese Empire be humiliated by the lowly Shina people! ”

Kumamoto Shoichi smiled and said, "Don't you remember the story of the Three Kingdoms? Zhuge Kongming wanted Sima Yi to fight, so he sent Sima Yi a woman's clothes, and Lin Yuan's troops were following Zhuge Kongming's strategy and wanted to lead me to battle. ”

A staff officer said, "Captain, we should fight!" The previous battles have shown very clearly: our main artillery combat vehicles are not afraid of the shells of Lin Yuan's troops at all, and we are undefeated in this battle! ”

Kumamoto said with a smile: "You look at the time in the war book, four o'clock in the afternoon, what does this time mean?" It shows that the people of China are deliberately setting a trap and waiting for me to drill, this season in Northeast China, the sky is already dark at four o'clock in the afternoon, and by the time we fight with them, the sky must be completely dark, we are not the opponent of the people of China in the night battle, how can we agree? ”

A staff officer said: "But captain, if we don't agree, we will definitely be laughed at by Lin Yuan's troops, and our Yamato nation will also be laughed at by the people of China, and they will say that our Yamato nation are cowards like rats." ”

Kumamoto said with a smile: "Of course we have to fight, but not in the way set by Lin Yuan's troops!" After Kumamoto finished speaking, he said to one of his subordinates, "You go find a set of clothes for the Shina woman." ”

The subordinate quickly brought a set, and Kumamoto put the suit of clothes into the box, wrote another letter, handed the box and letter to the officer, and said, "You give this box and letter to the Korean merchant, and ask him to give them to Lin Yuan's troops." ”

The officer then came out and handed the boxes to the Korean merchant, who then sent them to Lin Yuan's tank battalion, and Li Mingshan opened the letter and saw that it read: "We agreed to go to war, but it was too late at four o'clock in the afternoon, it was already dark, we were all proud and heroic warriors, we should fight under the sun, only rats will bite in the dark." ”

"The people of China, come out tomorrow morning at nine o'clock in the morning for a decisive battle! If you dare to fight, we will fight; If you don't dare, please wear this woman's outfit and if the size is not right, we can change it for you. ”

After reading the letter, Li Mingshan told Zhou Xiao the contents of the letter, and Zhou Xiao asked: "If you are fighting in the daytime, are your tank battalions sure to win?" ”

Li Mingshan replied: "No problem, our firepower and mobility are stronger than theirs, don't be afraid of them!" ”

Zhou Xiao said: "Very good, then you can fight more with less and fight a big victory!" ”

As soon as Zhou Xiao's order came, Li Mingshan called the commanders of each company to a meeting, and Li Mingshan first said: "The Japanese army wants to start a war at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and I have decided to agree." ”

Zhang Yun said: "War at nine o'clock? It was daytime, we didn't have the advantage of night vision, and the Japanese army had more tanks than us, so we must be at a disadvantage. ”

Li Mingshan smiled: "I've already thought about it, let's use fishing tactics tomorrow." ”

Zhang Yun asked, "Fishing tactics, what does this mean?" ”

Li Mingshan replied: "Tomorrow we will first send a company of tanks to fight with the Japanese army, after the battle starts, we will not fight hard with the Japanese army, but quickly retreat to the Beishan area, if the Japanese army catches up, we will turn the gun port and strike the enemy near the Beishan, this has an advantage, because the battlefield side is Beishan, so the Japanese tanks can not outflank us from our flank, but we can give full play to the advantage of mobility and flexibility, we can fight if we want, and withdraw if we want." ”

Zhang Yun said: "We understand, this fishing unit belongs to us, after all, we have just fished!" ”

Li Mingshan smiled: "Okay, this fishing task will be handed over to you, you have to be careful, don't let the fish detonate yourself again." ”

At eight o'clock the next day, Zhang Yun led a company of tanks into an arrow team and slowly drove to the Japanese barracks, and the Japanese army also mobilized the tanks, and lined up the tanks in two rows in the open space in front of the barracks, and the tanks behind were in the direction of 45 degrees behind the tanks in front, and the whole army was divided into three phalanxes on the left, center, and right, each phalanx was a brigade.

Kumamoto Shoichi personally rode in an armored command vehicle and commanded behind his own tanks, and when he saw that Lin Yuan's troops had only 15 main artillery combat vehicles, he couldn't help but laugh loudly and said: "Lin Yuan's troops are really overwhelmed, and they want to use more than a dozen main artillery combat vehicles to defeat us!" ”

Everyone laughed, and Kumamoto Shoichi immediately ordered: "Surround the main artillery chariot of Lin Yuan's troops." As soon as the order was given, the left and right flank phalanxes of the Japanese army began to move to the left and right sides, trying to outflank the rear road of Lin Yuan's tank troops, Zhang Yun saw the direction of the Japanese army's action and instantly understood their intentions, and couldn't help laughing: "At the speed of your turtles, you still want to surround us!" Dream! ”

Zhang Yun immediately ordered: "Turn around and lead the Japanese army to take the bait." The tanks of Lin Yuan's troops immediately turned around and retreated to the area of Beishan, and Kumamoto Masashi immediately smiled when he saw it: "If the people want to escape, it's not so easy, chase me and avenge the destroyed main artillery tank!" ”

The Japanese main artillery chariot suddenly drove at full speed, rushing towards the tanks of Lin Yuan's troops, and came to the edge of Beishan in a short time, the width of the Japanese tank phalanx was very large, and the tank troops on the right flank were all blocked by Beishan, impassable, and if they wanted to continue the pursuit, they could only turn to the left, and join forces with the middle tank phalanx, but in this way, the middle phalanx and the right wing phalanx had to slow down, and the Japanese commander ordered in order to catch up with the tanks of Lin Yuan's troops: "Stop the tank phalanx on the right flank, don't come!" ”

The Japanese army's right-wing phalanx then stopped, and as soon as the right-wing phalanx stopped, Zhang Yun immediately ordered: "Turn back and attack the Japanese army's phalanx!" ”

Zhang Yun's order immediately asked the driver to turn around and drive towards the Japanese tank, completing a short stop at a distance of about 1,000 meters, and the gunner immediately took advantage of this short stop to aim at a Japanese tank, pressed the launch button, and the newly equipped armor-piercing bullet immediately flew towards the Japanese tank.

The armor-piercing projectile did not require much firing speed, so the number of propellants of the armor-piercing projectile was not large, and the gunner did not feel much vibration of the tank, he pressed the launch button and put his eyes on the scope, anxiously waiting for the result.
