Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Wu Gan fully agreed with Duan Wu's idea and immediately ordered the troops to be reorganized. When Wu Gan continued to ask Duan Wu what else he needed to do, Duan Wu only answered him with two words: sleep.

Of course, it was Duanwu who needed to sleep. He hadn't slept for two days and two nights.

Even if it was just one or two hours, he needed to take a break, because next, he would not be required to command at all. He just needed to withdraw the troops and send out scouts to investigate.

In other words, the next step was not to fight the Japs directly, but to make them trapped deep in the grassland where they could not be found at all.

Wu Gan actually didn't like this kind of fighting style. As a member of the grassland people, he preferred to charge and kill with great enthusiasm. Even if he died in battle, he would still be an eagle on the grassland.

But Duanwu presented him with a fact, that is, whether Wugan wanted the Wugan tribe to become the sun on the grassland, rather than be wiped out forever on the grassland.

Wu Gan was silent for a moment and thought that Ye Anda was right. If he could only be the sun for one day, it would be better not to do it.

So Duanwu fell asleep after entering Wugan's tent. Even when Wugan's sister brought him water for washing his face, Duanwu didn't even have time to wipe his face.

I was so tired during the Duanwu Festival. I didn’t sleep for two days and two nights, and I was always on the road.

Wu Gan's sister felt heartbroken when she saw it.

At this moment, Wu Gan also came in. Wu Gan's sister sighed and said, "Ye Anda went to sleep as soon as he entered the room."

Wu Gan also sighed and said, "Ye Anda is such a good friend. According to him, he is currently active in the Songyuan area. I'm afraid he will have to ride a horse for a whole day and night to get here. And I also heard him say that before he came, he killed a Japanese officer named Qing Mu. That was a great fight."

Wu Gan's sister said in surprise: "You mean, he fought the enemy before he came here? Then he probably didn't have any rest for two days and two nights."

Wu Gan nodded and said, "That's why I said Ye Anda is a good friend. Compared with those sanctimonious tribes, they are like heaven and earth."

Wu Gan's sister also said angrily: "That's right, if there is any problem with the tribal alliance in the future, don't even think about coming to us."

Although Wu Gan didn't say anything at this time, he already agreed with his sister's idea in his heart.

The two of them went out immediately and no longer disturbed Duanwu's rest.

Wu Gan asked his sister to take good care of Duanwu, while he gave orders, ordering his cavalry to be divided into five teams, each with 400 cavalrymen, and the remaining cavalry to protect the central army, and a large number of cavalry were sent from the central army to conduct reconnaissance.

And this reconnaissance was also divided into groups of two according to Duanwu's request, with sixteen teams setting out one after another to ensure that the rear team could see the front team and to avoid the front team being ambushed by the Japanese and not even having the chance to pass on information.

After doing all this, four teams of four hundred cavalrymen evacuated the tribe in four directions, leaving only more than three hundred cavalrymen to protect Wu Gan, Duanwu and others.

The Japanese reconnaissance plane was still hovering over the Wugan tribe, but there was only one of them.

So five teams of cavalry left one after another, leaving the Japanese aerial reconnaissance troops somewhat confused.

The largest cavalry unit that had left earlier was naturally Wu Gan’s new cavalry.

Of course, from then on, the Japanese reconnaissance planes reported to General Takeda.

General Takeda was dismissive of this, because he had seen through the enemy's intentions.

He believed that the enemy was avoiding fighting and using time to wear down the army without follow-up supplies.

This kind of tactic was something he had often encountered in his previous battles with the guerrillas. Of course, it was also a rather troublesome tactic.

However, he had been prepared for this, so he was not afraid that the enemy would want to wear him down on the grassland. After all, he had reconnaissance planes constantly conducting reconnaissance in the air, and he would make his enemies run around on the grassland all the time. Moreover, his reconnaissance planes had already discovered where the herdsmen were going. As long as he attacked those herdsmen, he would not be afraid that the cavalry of the Wugan tribe would not fight him.

At that time, General Takeda sneered at this.

But at this time, four more cavalry groups left, and he was a little confused.

  What is the enemy going to do? Split up and break out?

General Takeda frowned, his eyes revealing an unspeakable confusion.

He unfolded the map in the car and lightly ran his finger over the marks representing the tribes and routes through the grasslands, quickly calculating the possibilities in his mind.

"Another scattered breakout? Not likely."

Takeda muttered to himself, looking at the map again and again.

Suddenly a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he began to realize that perhaps this was the cunningness of the enemy.

There is a guy among the enemies who is good at guerrilla warfare.

In guerrilla warfare, there is a tactic called sparrow warfare.

This tactic is to harass the enemy, making it too busy to respond and thus dragging down the opponent.

But this tactic is completely useless for Takeda, not to mention that this is a prairie.

The prairie is almost in full view, so how could the enemy find a chance to ambush us?

If the other party dares to ambush me, it would be no different from giving away my head.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the cavalry of the Wugan tribe is creating an illusion in order to confuse him.

The four enemy cavalry teams were moving in different directions, seemingly dispersing to prepare for a guerrilla war, but in fact it might be to cover an important action, or to mislead his judgment, so that he would disperse his forces to pursue and thus reveal a flaw.

Takeda felt that this possibility was very high, and immediately ordered: "Notify the air reconnaissance unit immediately to strengthen the tracking of the four cavalry teams. If there are not enough reconnaissance planes, apply to the headquarters for more, even fighter planes. We must accurately grasp the enemy's movements."

"Hi!"

A Japanese officer took the order and left. General Takeda stared at the map again, thinking to himself: "That Ye Xiuwen, what exactly are you planning? Are you trying to lure me deep into the heart of the grassland, or do you have another plan? No matter how thorough your plan is, I, Takeda, will not be fooled easily. The grassland will be my stage, and your every step will be under my control."

General Takeda sneered slightly, as if he had foreseen the coming victory.

And to win this battle, he not only has to defeat the mysterious Ye Xuwen, but also destroy his opponent's will.

Of course, all this may have to wait until tomorrow. Because most of the Japanese planes have been transferred to the southern battlefield, the Japanese Luhang Brigade now has only two reconnaissance planes. Even the fighter planes are pitifully few.

Previously, Kitahara Hiroyuki requested Takeda to transfer nine bombers, which were obtained with great difficulty by General Takeda.

Of course, the most important thing is that at that time, Kitahara Hiroyuki was acting together with Kujo Miyakita, who was a great noble among the Japanese, otherwise the nine bombers could not be deployed.

Moreover, the number of Japanese planes dropped sharply, and the reason was because of the Dragon Boat Festival. Because too many Japanese planes were shot down in the southern battlefield during the Dragon Boat Festival, a large number of them were transferred from the north! (End of this chapter)
