Chapter 1779: The Japanese, this is what you asked for!
"Brother Dragon Boat Festival, how are you doing?"
Ma Ping'an hurried over when the Dragon Boat Festival ordered. He also came to tell the Dragon Boat Festival that the Japanese had prepared for a long time and the ferry had been blocked.
Of course, he had just received the news, and heard the sound of cannons coming from the direction of the river bank, so he rushed over and told the Dragon Boat Festival about this.
But I didn't want to know it early in the Dragon Boat Festival.
However, Dragon Boat Festival still pretended to be what he had just known and said that the news sent back from the first battalion also confirmed this.
Ma Ping'an said: "Brothers of Dragon Boat Festival, how about we enter Henan along the east bank of the Yellow River?"
Dragon Boat Festival smiled and said, "This doesn't work at all. The Japanese just want us to go south from the east coast. Because the terrain of the east coast is flat, if Japanese ships chase us and fight, we can only eat cannon fodder on the plains.
Moreover, plain combat is beneficial to the Japanese. The Japanese have heavy artillery and air advantages. In addition, the Japanese ships in the river channel make us live targets one by one.
So this is the difference between the east and the west banks. There are enough bunkers on the west banks, and the Japanese army has weak forces. This is why the Japanese did not allow us to cross the river."
"What should I do?"
Ma Ping'an brows were deeply locked, because it was obvious that this would be a dead end again.
Dragon Boat Festival thought for a while and said, "This is the Japanese who forced me, so I will let them know what the consequences would be if they forced me to be too impatient. Lao Ma, go and ask where the Japanese 110th Division has reached and how strong its troops are. The more detailed the better. There is also news about the Japanese Fifth Division on the Eastern Front, the more comprehensive the better."
"Yeah, I'll go right away."
Ma Ping'an responded and left with the two correspondents. At this time, Duan Duan said to Lao Nu: "Have the weapons and ammunition of the surprise attack troops collected?"
Lao Nu smiled and said, "I have collected it. There are more than 400 German-style mullet guns and about 10,000 bullets, which is enough to make up for the consumption of our battle. But the cavalry battalion suffered a bit of great losses, alas!"
Lao Nu sighed at the end of his speech, and the Dragon Boat Festival also knew that the casualties of the Cavalry Battalion were indeed a bit serious this time.
But there is nothing we can do about this. The opponent is too strong. If it weren't for the shadow letting go of the war in today's battle, I'm afraid the casualties of the Cavalry Battalion and the Special Battalion would be greater.
"In this way, tell Zhao Weidong. When there are new recruits, I will let him choose first. His current mission is not to be sad, but to prepare for the next battle. Let him send scouts to the east to conduct reconnaissance. I want to know where the Sakata United, the closest to us, and the brigade of the puppet army, are now."
Speaking of this, Dragon Boat Festival thought about it and said: "The war horses should be idle. First lend them to the baggage camp, and let them transport weapons and equipment and wounded soldiers."
“Yes, the group.”
Lao Nu took the order, but at this time, the Dragon Boat Festival thought of something and quickly ordered the Special Battalion not to come back, stay in place to set up defenses, and the trenches should be dug according to the highest requirements, and the craters should be dug to avoid bomb craters, etc.
··············
At the same time, Zhou Tianyi had just ordered the soldiers to pack up their things and prepare to leave, but he did not want the correspondents to report, "There is an order from the reporting camp, the regiment seat, so that we will still stay on site to set up defenses, and the trenches must be excavated according to the highest standards."
"What does this group of seats mean?"
Zhou Tianyi was puzzled, but at this time the company grew up, the dog said angrily: "Will the Dragon Boat Festival fight be fought? The orders are changing every day? We were asked to dig on this small mountain before, but in less than two hours, we were asked to retreat. Then we were left in place. Will he command?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Have you not seen these few battles of the ranks? They all won a great victory."
Zhou Tianyi reprimanded and ordered: "Everyone will follow the orders of the group leader. If anyone dares to lie to me, don't blame me for kicking him in the ass!"
"yes,......"
A group of people replied weakly, but when Zhou Tianyi stood up his eyes, he immediately went to dig the trenches obediently.
Zhou Tianyi personally supervised that in addition to digging trenches, he also found several veterans to dig craters. This thing was not something new recruits could dig, because if they couldn't dig well, the shells fell and formed a landslide, and people would have to be buried inside.
So, let the veterans dig the bullet craters and continue to dig deeper the trenches that had been dug before, at least about two meters.
However, at this moment, the sentry discovered that from the back of the high ground, more than thirty cavalry soldiers riding fast horses were coming to them. He immediately ran to report to Zhou Tianyi.
At this time, Zhou Tianyi also noticed these cavalrymen, and stood on the mountain and shouted loudly: "Brother? What are you doing?"
The officers of the Cavalry Battalion knew that the mountain was the 1st Battalion and were also part of the Supervisory Corps, so they replied: "Perform the mission."
The officer did not stop, and just replied, he left. Moreover, he did not say what the task was, because it was the rule of the Supervisory Corps. No matter what the order was, it was a secret, and even the most trusted brothers around him could not reveal any of them.
However, since the Special First Battalion joined relatively late, they didn't know many things. The old cat said angrily: "What awesome? Just a mission?"
Speaking of this, Lao Mao complained to Zhou Tianyi again: "You see, people don't regard us as their own people, and they don't tell us if they have a task."
Zhou Tianyi also frowned and said, "You guys keep doing it, I'll go and ask."
Zhou Tianyi was also a little emotional, because as a front-line commander, he didn't even know the purpose of the battle. Isn't this funny?
He picked up the intercom on the radio, called the team headquarters, and requested a call with the regiment seat.
At this time, Dragon Boat Festival was looking at the map because he wanted to cheat the Japanese. He wanted to jump out of the Japanese encirclement, but the Japanese stopped him. Well, I will kill you.
Of course, there is no way to do this. If there are some choices for Dragon Boat Festival, he will definitely choose to send the wounded soldiers out, replenish weapons and ammunition, and then bring people back.
But unfortunately, if he jumped out of the Japanese encirclement as planned, it would only increase a lot of casualties.
The ferry was guarded by the Japanese, and the Japanese warships were cruised in the river. If he wanted to force a breakthrough, the Supervisory Corps would lose at least half of the people.
Because they do not have heavy weapons to deal with warships. The largest caliber artillery of the Independent Regiment is the 80mm caliber mortar.
Even if this kind of artillery can hit the Japanese warships on the river, it is just tickling the other party. Moreover, once the Japanese warship counterattacks, their artillery will disappear in an instant.
Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival will not be fought in such a battle that is obviously sent to death. What's more, the Dragon Boat Festival does not have enough ammunition and food. At worst, the submachine gun will be redistributed after the submachine guns have no bullets and replaced them with Japanese equipment.
