"The spirit stone Japanese?"
Hearing the instructor's words, the third battalion commander was stunned for a moment, and his expression immediately turned ugly.
"Damn it, how did it come so fast?”
"It's not that fast. After all, we've been walking the Japanese for almost three hours.”
"Tsk, Old Fang, you're right. I had so much fun playing tonight that I forgot that so much time had passed.”
Facing the instructor's ridicule, the third battalion commander scratched his head and smiled happily. When the instructor heard this, he couldn't help but smile. It could be said that he was carrying forward the optimistic spirit of finding joy in hardship.
After laughing, the third battalion commander looked in the direction of the spirit stones and asked,
"How many Japanese are coming from the spirit stones? How far are they from us?”
"Yes... It was dark, and the scouts couldn't count how many Japanese there were, so they had to form a squadron. The distance between us now…It was about 8 kilometers away from us before, but now it's only about 7 kilometers away, right?”
"Tsk ~ We're being attacked by the Japanese from both sides.”
"Old friend, you're right. Should we break out of the encirclement eastward now?”
(PS: Jiexiu is in the north, Lingshi is in the south, Tongpu railway and Fen River are in the west, and Taiyue Mountain is in the east)
"Let me think."
As the Third Battalion Commander spoke, he took out a map that Bai Xian had given to Li Yunlong. Li Yunlong then gave it to the Third Battalion Commander. The third battalion commander unfolded the map, and the instructor quickly took out a flashlight to illuminate it. The two of them glanced back and forth between Jie Xiu and the spirit stones.
"Old Fang, look, we're at the north side of the canal. The Japanese from Jie Xiu are at the west side of Zhangbi Castle.”
"The Spirit Stone Japanese have probably passed the Song family's small village and are surrounding us.”
"In that case, Old Fang, look at the terrain of the canal pond. There are two ditches that run from northwest to southeast. If we build fortifications in the canal pond, these two ditches will be our natural advantage. If the Japanese want to attack us, they will have to cross these two ditches to reach our fortifications.”
The instructor hesitated for a moment, then pointed at the map and said,
"But old friend, don't forget. If the Japanese come from the east, not only can they cut off our retreat, but they can also bypass these two ditches and attack the canal from the southeast. This place is a wide expanse of flat land ~"
"Hehe, if even you think we're going east, then will the Japanese think the same?”
"Hmm? Old friend, what do you mean?"
"The Jiexiu Japanese are in the north, and the Lingshi Japanese are in the south. We were attacked by the Japanese in the canal. However, with these two ditches, they would definitely not be able to rush up to the canal in a short period of time. If I were the commander of the Japanese, I would definitely try to outflank them from the east, bypass the ditch, and attack the canal from the southeast. What if we take this opportunity to head northwest and take a detour around the West Song Wall?”
“... Alright, old friend. This idea of yours is quite interesting ~"
After hearing the third battalion commander's plan, the instructor's eyes lit up.
Moreover, he was also Li Yun Long's old subordinate, so he had a lot of tricks up his sleeve. He stared at the southeast direction of the canal. The two large ditches that sandwiched the canal were split in the southeast direction of the canal, which was equivalent to two small ditches. This terrain could make a lot of trouble.
Thinking of this, the instructor immediately said,
"Old friend, I have an idea too.”
……
" Tank squadron, assault!!"
The Japanese army was ready to attack again. Captain Fujita waved the pennant at the Eighth Route Army position and then got into the Type 95 light vehicle. The 14 vehicles and armored vehicles immediately rushed towards the Eighth Route Army position under the cover of two infantry squadrons.
The 14 tanks and armored vehicles were split into 4 teams, with each team having 2-4 tanks and armored vehicles. The 14 tanks and armored vehicles formed a T-shaped formation, and each team also formed a T-shaped formation (see picture). The tanks and armored vehicles were 30 steps apart from each other. Under the cover of the infantry squadron, they slowly pressed toward the Eighth Route Army position.
The Japanese grenade launchers fired flares at the front of the Eighth Route Army almost continuously, while providing fire support to the infantry advancing with the chariot troops. The Type 94 37mm tank cannon mounted on the Type 95 light tank kept firing at the Eighth Route Army positions, clearing the firepower points of the Eighth Route Army positions that dared to counterattack.
In this regard, the Eighth Route Army on the front line seemed to have no way to resist the tank squadron. The firepower of the counterattack at the front line was extremely sparse, and even such sparse firepower could not be sustained. Occasionally, grenades were thrown from the trenches, but the Japanese soldiers did not rush up. These grenades only exploded.
"Oh my, it seems that these Chinese soldiers were scared out of their wits by the chariots of the imperial army.”
Seeing the sporadic resistance from the Eighth Route Army, Senior Captain Fujita couldn't help but laugh proudly in the Type 95 light tank.
He originally wanted to command the chariot squadron to stay 200 meters in front of the Eighth Route Army position and use machine guns and tank cannons to weaken the resistance of the Eighth Route Army. However, seeing that the resistance of the Eighth Route Army was so weak, he immediately gave up on the unnecessary plan. He used the signal flag to command the remaining 13 tanks and armored vehicles to directly rush toward the Eighth Route Army position.
"Crunch ~~"
The tracks of the tanks and armored vehicles ran over the bodies of the dead Japanese soldiers on the ground. Blood splashed on the faces of the Japanese soldiers who followed the tanks and armored vehicles. This made some of the Japanese soldiers look timid, but more of them showed bloodthirsty and crazy expressions. They were ready to follow the tanks and armored vehicles into the Eighth Route Army's position to avenge the Japanese soldiers who were crushed into minced meat.
However, when they carefully entered the Eighth Route Army's position, they were surprised to find that the Eighth Route Army's position did not even have the sporadic resistance from before. Several Japanese soldiers who followed the attacking troops saw this and quickly fired a few flares over the Eighth Route Army position. The Japanese soldiers realized that the huge Eighth Route Army position had become empty, and even a person's shadow had disappeared.
“……”
Senior Captain Fujita came out of the chariot and glanced at the empty Eighth Route Army camp. He immediately showed an embarrassed expression.
"Damned Chinese, how dare you humiliate the Japanese Imperial Army!!”
At this time, he understood that the 8th Route Army had already retreated. As for the previous sporadic resistance, it was just a few people left behind by the 8th Route Army to confuse them and make them think that the 8th Route Army was still in the position.
Speaking of which, this was also the habitual thinking of the Japanese army.
Previously, Ding Wei and Cheng Kang had withdrawn their troops to the second and third line positions. When the Japanese army rushed to the front, they quickly returned to the front line to catch the Japanese army off guard. Affected by this, the Japanese army, including Senior Captain Fujita, thought that the Eighth Route Army was using the same trick and wanted to let them in before fighting. They didn't expect that the cunning Eighth Route Army had already fled before the battle started!
"Baka Yalu ~!"
The humiliation of having his intelligence played made Senior Captain Fujita fly into a rage. He gritted his teeth, then lowered his head and ordered the signalman,"
"Telegram Miyano Cavalry Squadron, the Eighth Route Army of China has fled upon hearing the news. I hope he will quickly attack and pursue the fleeing Eighth Route Army!”
"Hey!"
