Chapter 1168 Looking back!
Three hours later, the scouts from Laos Secret Camp came to report: "There was no trace of the Japanese in the direction of Bengbu," he said.
"Didn't the Japanese come?"
Dragon Boat Festival talked to himself, thinking: Kitashirakawa Shi was really calm. The 10th Regiment was surrounded by him, but he didn't come to save him.
It turns out that the Dragon Boat Festival is surrounded without fighting, and there is another meaning, which is to give Kitashirakawa a chance to reinforce.
In Bengbu City, Dragon Boat Festival can be said to have been in a tough battle with the Japanese. More than a thousand people died in the Sichuan Army who pointed to Lu Jian alone and Wang Tong's Northeast Army.
This also included his machine gun company and cavalry battalion. Nearly 400 people were killed or killed in these two troops.
Therefore, the cost of this street battle in the city is not bad. Although the Japanese also suffered a lot of losses, in general, the two sides fought a draw.
In such a battle, Dragon Boat Festival really doesn't want to continue, because it's just fighting with the Japanese.
Before, he was looking forward to the Independent Regiment reaching Bengbu first, so that the Independent Regiment's firepower would be enough to crush the Japanese.
Although street fighting is cruel, if one side has enough troops and strong firepower, it can reduce many unnecessary casualties.
But unfortunately, the Independent Regiment encountered the 10th Japanese Regiment and could not reach Bengbu at all.
Dragon Boat Festival quickly adjusted its tactics, abandoned the Japanese in Bengbu, and gave the 10th Regiment a big mouth.
This slap directly annihilated half of the opponent's troops.
Originally, Dragon Boat Festival believed that it had caused such a great loss to the 10th Japanese Regiment and besieged it in the No. 3 Highland, so why didn't Beibaichuanxi do anything?
But no, except for Zhou Weiguo's report to Dragon Boat Festival that the 26th Brigade of the Japanese army had the action of breaking through the defense line, Dragon Boat Festival did not receive any other reports. Including the 51st Army, there was no intention of the Japanese to break through the defense line.
Therefore, the plan to surround the points and attack aid obviously no longer works at this time. And for some reason, there is always a bad premonition on the Dragon Boat Festival.
Kitashirakawa Se did not chase him, nor did he mean to save the 10th Regiment. In other words, the Japanese were going to give up the 10th Regiment.
The meaning of giving up is cannon fodder. Although the 10th Regiment is probably only left with less than two infantry squadrons, it is unreasonable to just give up like this.
And at this time, another Japanese army should have arrived in Bengbu.
At this time, the Dragon Boat Festival refers to the 63rd Japanese Regiment, but he just guessed that the Japanese would encircle left and right, and the 10th Regiment was encircled from the east, so there should be another Japanese army on the west side. This is why Dragon Boat Festival suddenly left Bengbu. Because his reinforcements had not arrived, the Japanese reinforcements arrived, so he would definitely suffer a loss if he stayed in Bengbu.
So the Dragon Boat Festival ran overnight and captured the 10th Japanese Regiment.
It’s just a pity that Kitashirakawa Se did not chase him, otherwise this time the Dragon Boat Festival would definitely be a big deal.
But even so, it can severely damage the 10th Regiment, or even encircle and annihilate the 10th Regiment. Such results are not that other combat troops dare not contradict each other. Because you can imagine how much battle can there be to encircle and annihilate a Japanese corps at that time?
Even in history, the 10th Regiment was surrounded by three armies and was still run away by him.
So at this time, the Dragon Boat Festival should be content.
But he felt that it was abnormal. Kitashirakawa Xi had been staying in Bengbu so honestly, and this was not his personality at all.
Dragon Boat Festival fell into a brief meditation because he was thinking about whether there were any important strategic goals near Bengbu.
After a moment, Dragon Boat Festival suddenly opened his eyes because he thought of something, his baggage troops, wounded soldiers, etc., as well as the villagers who escaped from Bengbu were in Liutaizi Village. Last night, the Japanese sent someone to follow the old abacus.
Although the Sichuan Army who rushed there later destroyed the group of Japanese devils and sent a telegram saying that none of them ran back. However, the straight-line distance between Liutaizi Village was only about 25 kilometers from Bengbu. If the Japanese sent scouts to search, and so many people gathered in Liutaizi Village, they would definitely be exposed.
Thinking of this, the Dragon Boat Festival ordered: "Give power to the old abacus immediately and tell him to take his people out of Liutaizi Village, the faster the better."
"yes!"
The communications soldier received the order and immediately went to generate electricity. At this time, Shangguan Zhibiao asked, "Group, is there any situation in the old abacus?"
Dragon Boat Festival said with a serious expression: "I hope I think too much."
Speaking of this, Dragon Boat Festival picked up the telescope and investigated the Japanese's positions.
He wanted to fight quickly and then go back and clean up Kitashirakawa.
At this time, he had already figured out Kitashirakawa's tactics, and the Japanese were coming for him.
Since that's the case, he first cut off Kitashirakawa Shi, and Kitashirakawa Shi was left with only reinforcements from the west.
Judging from the reinforcements on the west side, it is very likely that the west side is also an infantry corps.
However, even if the Japanese have the remnants of the Ito United in the city, Dragon Boat Festival did not take it seriously.
And if these Japanese were squeezed into Bengbu City, that would be interesting. After disposing of the 10th Regiment, the Dragon Boat Festival surrounded Bengbu with the backhand. No one could come up with the Japanese, and even if they were hungry, they could starve the Japanese to death.
So the speed of Dragon Boat Festival is also faster, and he hopes to end the battle within two hours.
But when Dragon Boat Festival picked up the telescope and looked at the Japanese position, he was angry and laughed.
The Japanese really had two brushes. During the three or four hours of the Dragon Boat Festival break, they not only dug trenches, but also connected the three main positions of the No. 3 Highland into one.
Dragon Boat Festival handed the telescope to Shangguan Zhibiao, who was beside him, and said, "Old Master, look at what the Japanese have done in these three or four hours?"
Shangguan Zhibiao took the telescope and looked at it. He frowned and said, "Mall, this Japanese man dug so many trenches, so our cannons may not be of great use. If we had known, we should have rushed up the mountain in one go."
Dragon Boat Festival shook his head and smiled, "We can't rush up. Our soldiers didn't have the physical strength at that time. The Japanese were condescending, both in the shooting world and the physical strength were above us, so even if our people really rushed up, they were just at the end of their strength. At that time, the soldiers risked their lives to rush to the top of the mountain, but were exhausted and panting. What should we use to fight with the Japanese to bayonet?"
