Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2138 The war is about to break out!

At Lushunkou in the early morning, the heavy city gate slowly opened, and groups of Japanese soldiers rushed out fiercely.

They have been brainwashed by Kitahara Hiroyuki, and they want to find Harue's good guerrillas and tear them apart as soon as they leave the city.

So Sato may have made a mistake by letting Kitahara Hiroyuki come on stage to boost morale.

The morale of the Japanese is too high, and the Japanese have always been very arrogant, including the old Japanese Sato. He has never taken any guerrillas seriously.

But precisely because of this, they may overlook something.

However, this sweep should not be underestimated.

Although Kitahara Hiroshi did not lead the expedition, he still assigned a security team to Sato and others.

The number of the security team is not very large, only about four to five hundred people.

Their role is more like a guide.

Of course, they are also cannon fodder. When Colonel Sato finds the guerrilla station, they are most likely to be used as cannon fodder and sent to the front line to test the enemy's firepower.

At the same time, the Chunjiang Hao guerrillas were naturally making active preparations.

The guerrilla scouts riding fast horses have arrived at the gate of Lushunkou.

When he saw a large number of Japanese soldiers leaving the city, he was shocked. There are a lot of Japanese soldiers, probably at least several thousand people, and there are also a lot of heavy artillery, which are not what the guerrillas have.

The guerrillas also have artillery, but mostly mortars and grenade launchers.

Moreover, the number of mortars is pitifully small, only four, while the number of grenade launchers is relatively large, nearly thirty.

Of course, this scout didn't know the purpose of Dragon Boat Festival.

Because the number of mortars does not determine the strength of the firepower. Because there is a continuity.

For example, I have four mortars but 200 shells, but you have 200 mortars but four shells.

The firepower of the two is clear at a glance.

Therefore, the scout only saw that the enemy had many artillery pieces, but did not know that the guerrillas also had many artillery shells.

He immediately rode back to report.

At this time, Dragon Boat Festival was sleeping.

And not only did he sleep but everyone else except Scout did too.

Because this will be a fierce battle, and once the battle starts, there is no telling when the next break will be.

So while Dragon Boat Festival sent people to investigate, he asked Ma Ping'an to escort Mrs. Zhang and a group of common people rescued by the guerrillas. There were also a hundred and ten people who quickly evacuated the guerrilla station, while everyone else took a rest, including him. Same.

He didn't sleep much last night, and when he came back, he performed operations on Lao Mo and Miss Zhang.

So I was really tired from doing the Dragon Boat Festival.

Of course, he could endure this bit of exertion, but he had to think about the next battle.

Most of the guerrillas are new recruits, and their weapons and equipment are all Japanese-style equipment.

This is simply a fatal weakness for the guerrillas.

Therefore, Duan Wu had no idea how this battle would turn out. He had to prepare for the worst, and even deal with the Japanese for a long time.

Moreover, the camp was exposed, and the Japs would most likely take a detour to sneak attack on the guerrilla camp after the battle. Therefore, before the battle begins, some baggage and non-combatants also need to be moved.

However, Long Wenwen, Wan Shanhong and others are responsible for these things.

By the way, there are also Tang Jiujiu and Gao Yanan.

Of course, Dragon Boat Festival was lying again, saying how important the baggage force was. In addition, Gao Yanan was assigned to the baggage force, so Tang Jiujiu had nothing to say.

What's more, the Dragon Boat Festival had been arranged in this way in the past, and there had been incidents in which the supply troops and medical staff were attacked by kidnappers, so Tang Jiujiu had no doubts at all.

So I slept for more than two hours during the Dragon Boat Festival, until the scouts came to report that the Japanese had left Lushunkou, and there were at least 3,000 people there, including Japanese and puppet troops.

The scouts were not very professional, and there was nothing Duanwu could do about it.

The time is too short and it is impossible to train professional scouts.

Duanwu thought for a while and asked the scout to tell Long Qianyan and others to act according to the original plan.

The Dragon Boat Festival divides the combat troops into two parts.

The first part, Duanwu temporarily calls it their main force.

In other words, it is a relatively capable force. This force is mainly used for ambushes.

The second force is called the reserve force, which is used only when there is no other way. Because their combat capabilities can be said to be very average, perhaps even worse than the puppet army.

Therefore, leading such a force into battle will really test Duanwu's combat command capabilities. If one is not careful, there may be a danger of the entire army being annihilated.

The tactics of the Dragon Boat Festival are also his most commonly used tactics, ambush and sneak attack, and then quickly evacuate when the combat is unfavorable, never entangled with the Japanese.

It is okay to fight the Japanese head-on, but at least they must have the quality of a regular army. But obviously, these guerrilla soldiers do not have such conditions.

When Duanwu left his residence, he saw a slight chaos outside. Although Ma Sanpao and Long Qianyan were trying their best to direct, many recruits still couldn't find their temporary teams.

Previously, Dragon Boat Festival formed a new main force with good conditions, but something went wrong. They couldn't remember which team they were in, so they seemed a little confused.

Duanwu immediately asked Ma Sanpao to number everyone, and then each group wore a unified logo. Some wear handkerchiefs, and some sew a strip of cloth on their clothes to distinguish them from each other.

At this time, Duanwu called Long Qianyan and asked him to quickly take people to the ambush site to lay mines.

This ambush site is not very far from the guerrilla station, only about seven or eight kilometers.

The reason why Duanwu chose this place was not because of how dangerous the terrain was, but because if the Japanese did not encounter any fighting along the way, they would be sure that their actions were not exposed and their enemies were still in a state of ignorance. .

Motivated by this idea, although the Japanese would send scouts to the station to investigate, they never expected that the guerrillas would ambush him when he was closest to the guerrilla station.

What's more, the terrain here is clear. Although there are small highlands with gentle slopes, they are more than two hundred meters away from the mountain road. At this distance, even the regular army may not be able to meet the requirements for an ambush. After all, the Chinese military had almost no troops at that time. The soldiers can accurately hit the enemy's troops from a distance of 200 meters.

What's more, the nearby woods are not very dense. There is more than 90% chance that the Japanese will not think that the enemy will ambush under such conditions. After all, such terrain is not the best terrain for an ambush.

The Japs would think that if they encountered an ambush in this kind of terrain, they could quickly spread out their troops and build fortifications to fight their enemies in positional warfare.

This is exactly what the Japanese want. He has always liked to fight positional warfare, so that their firepower advantage and the combat quality of individual soldiers can be maximized.

Of course, they never expected that the enemy they encountered was Duan Wu, a commander who never followed common sense.

Because in addition to location selection, the most important thing for an ambush is tactical command and surprise. Only in this way can the Japanese with rigid tactics be hard to guard against!
