Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 1651 The devil is a turtle!
After Duanwu noticed that the little devil was very cautious and stopped, he quickly made tactical adjustments.

Traditional ambushes are no longer feasible. As the war continues, the little devils are getting smarter and smarter.

Of course, this is not entirely true, because the little devils were not all idiots from the beginning.It's just that they fought so smoothly in the Battle of Songhu, so they were proud.To put it in plain language, it’s just floating around.

But the successive defeats gradually made the little devils understand that if they didn't go all out, they would all die on this land of China.

So take the 27th Brigade in Mito as an example. If they stop and don't move, Danwu will not be able to ambush them.So what should you do at a time like this?
It's very simple, fight first and then talk.

Use large-caliber mortars to attack the tank troops of the Japs.

This is the main force that the little devils are most proud of.When attacking, the Japs' chariots will rush ahead to act as a cover, and the infantry will follow behind.

This tactic is very effective for Chinese soldiers who lack anti-tank weapons.

So the Dragon Boat Festival hit was his pride, and he asked Sun Shiyu to lead the best artillery to attack in a sneak attack. The first wave of artillery attack blew up two of the Japs' tanks.

Then Sun Shiyu and others fired three more artillery shells. Although these three artillery shells only broke the tracks of one tank, six rounds of artillery shells destroyed two Japanese tanks and injured one, which was considered a profit.

Then Sun Shiyu and his people evacuated immediately, because the little devil's artillery response was not slow at all.When Sun Shiyu fired the second wave of artillery shells, the Japanese artillery was already aimed at the direction in which Sun Shiyu fired.

And if Sun Shiyu hadn't obeyed Dragon Boat Festival's orders and not been eager to fight, I'm afraid they would have been drowned in the carpet bombardment of the Japs at this time.

Sun Shiyu and a dozen soldiers carrying large-caliber mortars laughed loudly, because this sneak attack was really dangerous.Because not only the Japs' artillery discovered their location, but several Japs' scouts also discovered them.

But they ran fast, and the Japs' artillery bombed at them, so the Japs' scouts were blocked by their own artillery attacks.

Of course, even if the Japs come after them, they can't be hurt, because the whole forest is full of people who are supervising the general team. Not to mention the Japs coming with a few scouts, even if there is a brigade of Japs coming, Dragon Boat Festival will have a way to prevent him from coming back.

But the little devils didn't dare at all. Although they suffered a loss, Mito did nothing and only sent out scouts to investigate without taking any retaliatory action.

It was obvious that Mito was really very careful this time, and he never thought of revenge even after suffering such a big loss.

But this hindered Dragon Boat Festival's plan.

He still has to finish fighting the 27th Brigade to join Li Yunlong's department, and then go to fight Momotaro's department on the Western Front.But in the end, the Japanese 27th Brigade simply did nothing.

However, seeing that the Japs were still stationary after firing a burst of artillery, Duanwu could only change his tactics and ordered Sun Shiyu to lead a company from the artillery battalion to fight with Lao Snoring, focusing on harassment, making the Japs suspicious and afraid to march quickly.And he took the troops of the supervision team to join Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong's scouts have discovered Momotaro's tribe, and they are rushing towards Wanjialing.

Li Yunlong said this was a good opportunity, and he also had hundreds of kilograms of explosives in his hand.

These explosives were brought out from the arsenal in Xintai County.There were more than a ton of explosives in total. After entering Taishan territory, the explosives, grenades, artillery shells, guns and ammunition, etc. were divided into [-]% by Dragon Boat Festival, while Li Yunlong took [-]%.

And coupled with Li Yunlong's success on the road, Li Yunlong also had more than 500 kilograms of explosives.And if Li Yunlong hadn't blown up part of the guns while crossing the Mushan fire line, Li Yunlong would have been able to equip a reinforced regiment with the captured rifle.

But even so, Li Yunlong was extremely rich and had five or six small warehouses where weapons and ammunition were stored.And the weapons and ammunition taken back by the little devils in Jiazhuang were only the tip of the iceberg.

In that battle, Li Yunlong fought so hard that the enemy suddenly came. He was not prepared at all, otherwise the losses to the troops would not have been so great.

So at this time, Li Yunlong was really angry, and he was worried that he would be unlucky to find the little devil, but Momotaro led the troops and showed up.

But it would be a joke if Li Yunlong wanted to defeat Momotaro with his military strength.

Li Yunlong's army accounted for [-]% of the new recruits. It might be possible for such an army to fight against Japanese baggage troops or something like that. After all, Li Yunlong had a lot of clever ideas. As long as the difference in strength between the two sides was not too big, there was still a high chance of winning.

But Momotaro was different. This little devil had rich combat experience and strong command ability. If Li Yunlong ambushed him, he would never get any advantage.

So Li Yunlong thought again and again, and then monitored Momotaro while waiting for Dragon Boat Festival to come with a large army to join him.

·············
At the same time, Momotaro had just received news from the 27th Brigade. The vanguard of the 27th Brigade had lost contact. In all likelihood, it was an ambush by the Supervisory Corps.

And its main force has also been harassed by the supervision team. Now it can only send out scouts to investigate while slowly advancing.And Mito proposed the intention to join the Momotaro tribe and then march towards Wanjialing together.

Looking at the telegram, Momotaro ordered the troops to stop.Because he needs to think.

Judging from the operations of the Supervisory Corps, this is very similar to the Dragon Boat Festival combat style.

In other words, Dragon Boat Festival is not dead.

This news was terrible for him.If he had received this news before taking action, he would definitely have urged Isado Hihara to cancel the action.

Because the Dragon Boat Festival Supervisory Corps had just received a replenishment of weapons and ammunition, and then occupied the ground.On the contrary, they were severely under-manned.

Of course, if those sick men from the Fourth Division can come with him, then these troops will be enough.But the people of the Fourth Division were all acclimatized and were preparing to go to the rear for training. He really had no choice at all.

So when he looked at the less than 2000 troops under his command, he suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.

Because compared to the 27th Brigade, he is the soft persimmon, right?
Momotaro even guessed that Dragon Boat Festival and his troops were coming towards him.

The more he thought about it, the more wrong he became. He immediately sent scouts to investigate his area and began to set up defenses in place.

The Japanese officer was puzzled and asked: "Sir, this is still far away from Wanjialing. Is it too far for us to set up defenses here?"

Momotaro pretended to be calm and said: "I need to connect with Doihara-dono in a safe environment, so during this time, you can just obey my orders."

Momotaro was very cunning. He did not tell his men that Danwu was still alive at this time, and it was very likely that Danwu's next target would be them.Otherwise, once his subordinates become afraid of war, the consequences will be unimaginable!
