Chapter 548: Eat the Ninth Division!(1/2)
"Eat the 9th Division, Mr. Lu, did I hear it wrong?" Ying Ruoyu stared at Lu Shan with an incredible look on his face to see if he had dizziness and heat stroke because the weather was too hot.
"Of course it is impossible to eat the entire Ninth Division, but we can eat the 6th Brigade of the Ninth Division we are facing!" Lu Shan explained..
Ying Ruoyu lowered her head and thought, it was not impossible!
"Although Zhang Hanqing refused to send troops to the Northeast, his situation would be of great help to us!" Lu Shan said, "The 14th Division's new defeat will inevitably be difficult to organize an offensive in a short period of time unless they receive assistance. However, the Kwantung Army must be prepared for the possibility of the Northeast Army entering the pass at any time, so it is difficult to draw troops out. The same is true for the Ninth Division. Although they have a win or a loss with us, in general, we still won a small victory. If the Ninth Division suddenly retreats at this time, then we will have no choice!"
"Always Lu wants to lure the 9th Division into the army?" Ying Ruoyu said.
"This is our established strategy. Now the Japanese Seventh Regiment attack in Shuguang Town is frustrated. If we pretend to lose and take a step back, will they catch up?" Lu Shan said.
"The Japanese army was newly defeated in Zhangjiakou. The 9th Division had no extra reinforcements to send the Ninth Regiment of Cavalry. However, according to the usual style of the Japanese army, they would not give up the rescue of the Ninth Regiment, and would definitely send reinforcements again!" Ying Ruoyu said, "Where did this reinforcement come from? Only the Seventh Regiment that attacked Shuguang Town and the 35th Regiment that attacked Shancheng!"
"The 35th Regiment has just occupied Shancheng Town. It is in full swing and will definitely not pull back. Then there is only the 7th Regiment that is hit by the attack!" Lu Shan nodded, agreeing with Ying Ruoyu's judgment.
"Report, 121 telegram, the Japanese attack on the Seventh Regiment of Shuguang Town showed signs of retreat!"
"Sure enough, the Japanese army was going to dispatch the Seventh Regiment to rescue the 300 remaining soldiers of the Ninth Cavalry Regiment trapped in Chaoyang Town!"
The Seventh Regiment plus the puppet army had more than 4,000 troops. To eat so many enemies, it would take at least two or three times the strength!
Zhang Yihou, Zhou Baosheng and Zhai Lequan's 1st Agricultural Reclamation Division combined can barely do it. But the Japanese army still have troops at Meihekou.
Therefore, if we want to annihilate this Japanese army, we must have an army that will restrain the Japanese army at Meihekou, so that he cannot send reinforcements to the Seventh Regiment!
In this way, there are only Lin Nan and Bao Jinghua from Shuguang Town!
The two units combined only have 3,000 people. Can they restrain Japan's troops?
"Bao, Lin, ask for instructions. If the Japanese army retreats, will they pursue them?" After a moment, another telegram was sent.
Chase?
Lu Shan was not sure. The Japanese didn't just know how to do recklessly in wars. Their commanders have all received formal military education and are smart!
"What is the situation of the Japanese retreat? Are you walking in a hurry or orderly manner?" Lu Shan ordered.
Soon, Bao and Lin called back: "The Japanese army left in a hurry. A lot of equipment and supplies were discarded directly and not taken away!"
"General Lu, is the Japanese army a suspicious plan?" asked the combat staff officer Zhou Yubin.
"In this case, first, the order received is very urgent. The Japanese army must react as quickly as possible, discard some equipment and supplies, and advance lightly. Second, it is to set up an ambush halfway and lure the enemy to pursue it!" Lu Shan said slowly. "Lao Ying, Yubin, which kind of Japanese army do you think would be?"
"I think it is the second type. Now our army besieged Chaoyang Town, but it just sieges and does not attack. It is obvious that the remaining Japanese soldiers in Chaoyang Town are not at risk of being destroyed for the time being. There is no need to be so anxious to return to the rescue. Even if they are in a hurry to return to the rescue, there is no need to discard the equipment and supplies. I think this is what Japan did for us to show, and induce us to send troops to pursue. Once we send troops to pursue, it is equivalent to falling into their trap. I think the target of the Japanese army is still Shuguang Town!" Ying Ruoyu said.
"Mr. Lu, I have the same views as General Ying!" Zhou Yubin echoed.
"Think of from the perspective of others, what would I do if I were the Japanese commander?" Lu Shan did not answer positively, but raised another question.
"Ignore those three hundred remaining soldiers. Even though I knew that the opponent was going to surround and fight for help, I was so stupid that I came to the door. Isn't this awesome!" Zhou Yubin said, "After having a lesson, should I do it again?"
"I deliberately made the illusion of withdrawing troops, tempting us to pursue, and then..." Ying Ruoyu's eyes lit up. He just considered it from a single battlefield, but now he was considering it from the perspective of the Japanese army from the entire battlefield.
"Yes, while the Japanese made the illusion of sending reinforcements to rescue the Ninth Regiment of the Cavalry, they ordered the 7th Regiment to evacuate in a panic, tempting us to take the bait. In fact, they had no intention of evacuating at all!"
"The Japanese army was defeated one after another. What they wanted was not just rescued a remnant soldier, but a victory!" Lu Shan said, "This is crucial to their coming."
"So, they set up this strategy and deliberately lure us to take the bait. As long as we send troops to pursue, they can take the opportunity to fight back. Then we will be defeated and throw away Shuguang Town." Lu Shan concluded.
"Mr. Lu, since we already know the Japanese's tricks, we will order Brigade Commander Bao and Commander Lin to stop chasing him!"
"No, we have to pursue, and we have to send out our most capable team!" Lu Shan said.
"Mr. Lu, why is this?" Ying Ruoyu and Zhou Yubin looked at Lu Shan in discomfort, not understanding why it was a trap, so they insisted on getting in.
"If we don't chase, how can we lure the enemy into the deep?" Lu Shan smiled slightly, "As we analyzed, the Japanese army made us the next condom, why didn't we make a condom for them?"
"Haha, I understand!" Ying Ruoyu slapped his thigh and said, "We are falsely chasing, but we are tempting the Japanese army to really pursue it, right? Mr. Lu!"
"Haha, Lao Ying learned from it and thought that it was not bad. I just wanted to bring this Seventh Coalition in. Shuguang Town is too close to Meihekou. The Japanese army may draw troops to support at any time. It is not good for us to encircle and annihilate the enemy, but they went deep alone, so it would be different. We can eat it calmly when the Japanese reinforcements arrive!" Lu Shan explained.
"Come on!"
Shuguang Town, the 121st Regiment Command.
"The headquarters telegram, let us send troops to pursue the Japanese army immediately!"
"Old Bao, the headquarters' orders are a bit weird. We have clearly reported the situation of the Japanese army when they retreat, so why do we still have to make a chasing order?" Lin Nan asked in confusion.
"Maybe the headquarters has the idea of a headquarters." Bao Jinghua also frowned slightly. "You didn't read the headquarters' orders and said that if you were ambushed by a Japanese army, you can retreat with your camera!"
"The headquarters also expected that this was the Japanese army's trick, so why did we still pursue it?"
"Maybe it's confusing the Japanese army. What does this retreat mean? Is it withdrawing from Shuguang Town or..."
"Shuguang Town is now an empty town, which has no effect on us. Is the headquarters luring the enemy?" Bao Jinghua murmured to himself.
"Old Bao, what did you say?"
"Captain Lin, Shuguang Town is your defense zone. You are the largest here, and you will be the commander." Bao Jinghua said.
"Okay, since the headquarters has an order, then we will each send out one force to form a team to chase and kill the Japanese army!" Lin Nan nodded.
"good!"
The two went down separately to select soldiers and gathered the troops.
In half an hour, a elite cadre team of about 800 people was formed. They were all veterans in the army and had rich combat experience.
The pursuit war is easy to be ambushed, and as long as the veterans know it, they don’t need Lin Nanduo to say anything, they will be careful!
In the Artemisia annua bush, there was an ambush on both sides of the official road leading to Meihekou. Judging from their outfits, they looked like a group of jackals in human skin!
They are the Seventh Regiment of the Sixth Brigade of the Ninth Division of the Japanese Army.
"Col. Will the Chinese people chase after me?"
"Of course, when we saw the equipment and supplies we discarded along the way, they would definitely think that we were in a hurry to go. Will they give up such a good opportunity?" Izoican said with a sneer.
"What if they don't come?" Junichi Takagi asked carefully.
"If they don't come, then we can only rescue Morissebu's stupid pig first!" Isaican said gloomyly.
Suddenly, dust rose at the end of the road, and a murderous army appeared. The vanguards in front of the investigation were only three or four hundred meters away from the brigade, and were following the route of the Japanese evacuation!
"Colonel, they are here!" Junichi Takagi said admiringly.
"Yaoxi, the Chinese are indeed here. Order to go on and wait until they come in before firing!" said Izoican.
The team was leading the pursuit of Xia Fuxing, the leader of Bao Jinghua's subordinates. Before leaving, Bao Jinghua called him over and gave him a face-to-face instruction.
"Pay attention to the grass on both sides. If there is any movement, shoot immediately!" Xia Fuxing walked along the way, and was very cautious.
Although the direct team has taken the lead and opened the way for them, he still did not let go of every inch of the roadside as he walked along the way. Only when he was sure of safety would he lead the troops to pass!
"Captain, leader..."
"What?" Xia Fuxing was slightly shocked when he heard the news from his correspondents. The Japanese were actually not far ahead!
"Tell your brothers, be on guard!" Xia Fuxing said. His trip was not really about pursuing the Japanese army, but about making the Japanese army think that their pursuit fell into a trap, and then pretended to be defeated and lured the Japanese army to pursue it!
It’s impolite to come but not go!
Commanders at all levels who were prompted in advance immediately conveyed Xia Fuxing's orders one by one. Although the speed of progress remained unchanged, the internal and external alertness increased to a higher level.
Since Xia Fuxing knew where the Japanese were, of course he would not be polite. Under the command, he set up a machine gun and shot at the Artemisia anise on the roadside as he walked.
This kind of firepower reconnaissance is often done by the Japanese. When encountering dangerous areas, this is the most effective way to find ambush. Only when someone is shot or moves slightly, they will be discovered!
In the past, the anti-Japanese armed forces were all unlucky. After all, the anti-Japanese armed forces were poor, so they could only ambush with the Japanese army. Now, the Japanese ambush and the Gengdong clan pursued them. It should be the Japanese that tasted the power of their own methods.
Although I don’t know the specific location of each of the Japanese troops, it’s okay to hit the lowered gun.
This made the Japanese army ambushed in the grass. One of their shoulders was pierced, and half of their heads were knocked off. Some were even more miserable, and their eyes were blinded.
But Colonel Izo's strict orders were made, and no one was allowed to make a sound, otherwise military law would deal with it!
"Colonel, this won't work. Order an attack!" Takagi Jun whispered, wiping the sweat from his forehead. A bullet just now almost flew over his forehead.
"Wait a little longer!" A layer of sweat also emerged from the canal of Izo's nose. He was also extremely nervous at this moment. If he could destroy these Chinese troops here, it would be much easier to attack Shuguang Town again.
Within three hundred meters!
Izo Chi-no could no longer wait and ordered an attack!
In an instant, countless bullets were shot out from the hillsides on both sides of the road, and densely rammed towards Xia Fuxing's team!
"Let's go down!" Before Xia Fuxing could give the order, just as the Japanese army pulled the trigger, soldiers who had already received the order in advance fell down and looked for cover!
Except for some slow reactions, those who were hit by Japanese bullets and suffered casualties, the first wave of Japanese attacks did not have much casualties.
"Baga!"
Izoican angrily pulled out his command knife and ordered the Japanese army to launch a fierce attack, and Xia Fuxing naturally commanded the troops to launch a counterattack!
However, soon, due to the Japanese army occupying favorable terrain, the Eastern Column troops led by Xia Fuxing were obviously at a disadvantage and the team began to become chaotic.
Izoichiro was overjoyed to see this situation and ordered the Japanese army to attack more rapidly, and sent Japanese troops to charge!
Xia Fuxing led his troops and retreated, and soon the team could not control it.
Izoichi was as if he was injected with chicken blood, and was extremely excited and commanded the Japanese army to chase him.
Xia Fuxing led his team to flee to Shuguang Town like a "lost dog". Izoican led the Seventh Japanese Regiment to chase him.
