Chapter 330: Fatigue Tactics
The Araki detachment belonged to the 33rd Division, consisting of three infantry brigades and one mountain artillery brigade, and the detachment leader was Major General Araki Jiro.
After receiving the order and hearing that it was the Optimus Army to face, Araki Jiro immediately mobilized a puppet army of a surrounding division to jointly operate to encircle Dong Township, and when they arrived at Dong Township, there was still the shadow of the Optimus Army.
"General! That's just the way the Sky Army is! Didn't he run away too? ”
"You know what! If only one of our detachments comes, the Optimus Army will definitely not run! Most likely, there is still an ambush waiting for us! ”
"The general deliberately scared them away?"
"That's right! Because until now, the Imperial Army fighting against the Optimus Army has not yet won! Because they're too cunning! Araki Jiro said,
"Then what should the commander do next?"
"The Commander doesn't want us to fight the Optimus Army!"
"Ahh Is the Optimus so scary? ”
"It's not just terrifying, they're the nemesis of our Imperial Japanese Army!"
"Isn't there a division of the founding army here! Let them go and encircle the Optimus Army! ”
"That's a great idea!"
Araki Jiro called the division commander and wanted to order him to take the army to encircle and suppress the Qingtian Army in Huangshan, but what he didn't expect was that the other party refused without hesitation, on the grounds that the founding army was only responsible for encircling and suppressing the communist army and maintaining stability! Never against the Warring States Army and the Optimus Army.
Araki Jiro almost tilted his mouth, but he had no way, although the weapons and equipment of this founding army were not very good, but there were more than 8,000 people, he was afraid that these Chinese would rebel against him, and Anan did not have the military order to let them encircle and suppress the Qingtian Army, so he had to give up.
After being stationed in Dongxiang Township for less than a day, Araki Jiro received news from the Optimus Army, and they went to attack Qishan Town, which was only forty or fifty kilometers away from Chizhou, and another squadron and a company of puppet troops were wiped out by the Optimus Army.
Araki Jiro led the army to Qishan Town again, but after arriving, he still didn't see the shadow of the Optimus Army.
"Report! According to Scouting! The Qingtian Army has entered Jiuhua Mountain! ”
"Go in, go in! We're not going to chase it! "Araki Jiro made up his mind anyway and didn't take the initiative to fight with the Optimus Army.
Qin Tian didn't expect that he would hook up with devils like this, and they wouldn't be fooled.
"These little devils are scared by our Optimus Army! Don't dare to go into the mountains at all! Yuan Lang said,
"These puppet soldiers are so annoying! If it weren't for them, we would have been able to ambush the Araki detachment last time! The monk didn't fight and scolded,
"Little God! Those puppet troops seem to be stationed in Dong Township! There are not many people who follow the Araki detachment to Qishan Town! Si Wen received Yi Chen's investigation report and said,
"Cut! The devils don't dare to fight us, let alone the puppet army! Wen Qi sneered and said,
"I can't say that, some puppet soldiers are actually in Cao Ying's heart in Han, so it's good to have a chance to communicate with them!" Qin Tian said,
There are many puppet soldiers who actually don't know what is going on and become traitors, and their supreme commander will follow when they are traitors, and they will be excluded or killed to make an example of monkeys, in fact, many puppet soldiers and devils also have a deep hatred, and if they have the opportunity, they don't want to kill devils.
"Big brother! Do you want to convince them to convert? ”
"You don't have to do this deliberately, if you encounter it, persuade it, if you are determined to be a traitor, then we don't have to be polite!"
"Big brother! If the devil doesn't come out, what can we do? Yuan Lang asked,
"Why didn't they come out, didn't they go from Dongxiang Town to Qishan Town!"
"That big brother didn't ambush them!"
"At that time, I didn't know that the puppet army didn't follow, and besides, the ambush point on the way from Dongxiang Town to Qishan Town was not very good! So I'm going to walk these devils again! As a result, they did not dare to come! Then we'll have to think of something else! ”
"What's the solution?"
"Give them a good chance to destroy us!" After Qin Tian finished speaking, he looked at the map,
"Huh!?"
"Let's attack that Wangshan town southeast of Chizhou, west of Jiuhua Mountain! Do you guess if we slow down, will the devils in Chizhou come to support? ”
"Likely to come!"
"Qishan Town is not far away, will the Araki detachment come?"
"It's possible!"
"This is a good opportunity for the two armies to strike together to eliminate us, but a fool can also see this, but I don't know how the devil will react! All we have to do is be adaptable! ”
"Big brother! Brother Rui has also arrived with his army! Are you going to get him into battle? The monk asked,
"If you don't go to war, let him come all the way and come to the cold weather!"
"So! Eldest brother! You have to design it well, and we will strive to have a happy New Year! ”
"That's right! Canned Japanese meat is indispensable! And the more compressed cookies and stuff, the better! Qin Tian smiled,
"So is our goal there?"
"Haha! Eldest brother! Have you been thinking about the arsenal in Chizhou for a long time? Wen Qi asked,
Qin Tian pursed his lips and said, "There are also transport ships on the river!" If we can occupy Chizhou for two days, maybe we will have a bigger harvest! ”
The monk was shocked and asked, "Big brother! You said to occupy Chizhou for two days!? ”
"Yes! Just use the river defense in Chizhou to attack the devil's ship! How! Isn't that bad? ”
"Good! That's great! But there's a wing of devils stationed in Chizhou! ”
"That's why the eldest brother has to transfer them out! I'm afraid that the little devil won't be fooled! ”
"It's okay not to be fooled! If they don't come out, we'll go in! "Qin Tian has already deduced the battle plan with the weapon simulator, and the success rate is still very high.
Qi Rui took his army to Jiuhua Mountain to meet Qin Tian, Qin Tian picked out two hundred people to take it personally, and then asked Yu Su to take an army to Wangshan Town to attack the devils.
Expecting a possible attack, Wangshan immediately reported it to Chishu, and Taro Ishihara, who was guarding Chishu, immediately notified Anan Yuki when he received a telegram calling for help.
"It's the Optimus Army again! It's so hateful! How many troops do they have!? ”
"There are only three or four hundred people in these attacks!"
"Only three or four hundred! Then you immediately send a brigade to support! I'll let the Araki detachment go too! Fight according to my plan! Strive to wipe out these three or four hundred Heavenly Army! ”
"Hello!"
Anan Yuki's tactics informed Araki Jiro that he had his three brigades split into three divisions, one from the flank to support Wangshan Town, one cavalry and motorized troops marched to block the way to Jiuhua Mountain, and the third brigade attacked the Qingtian Army in Wangshan Town from behind! Fight to encircle them and annihilate them.
Anan's plan seems to be pretty good, and it is indeed possible to annihilate the Optimus Army.
"Little God! The devil is moving! They're coming! Si Wen reported,
"Yi Chen, they have a telegram?"
"It's coming! The Araki detachment in Qishan Town has all come out! One of their brigades has come to Wangshan Town, and the other two brigades seem to be planning to follow their back! ”
"Humph! That's right! If you don't come out, are you still called a devil! What about Chizhou? ”
"Only one brigade was sent!"
"This is more than 5,000 devils in four brigades!"
"Big brother! Are we going to support Lao Yu or send reinforcements? The monk asked,
"Our target this time is the cavalry and motorized troops who ambush the devils!"
"Where is the ambush?"
"Si Wen! Immediately telegram to the old Yu! Let him immediately retreat to Jiuhua Mountain! ”
"Big brother! What should I do if the devil chases after me? ”
"It's not just right to chase after you!"
"Big brother! Where are we ambushing the devil cavalry? ”
"Because they're here to follow their back! Where do you say they will intercept? ”
"Outside Jiuhua Mountain!"
"That's right!!" After Qin Tian finished speaking, he said to Qi Rui: "Qi Rui! You bring a team to pick up Lao Yu, and make sure they retreat to Jiuhua Mountain safely! ”
"Clear!"
"Big brother! What if the devil chases into Jiuhua Mountain? ”
"Chase in!? Do they dare! If we really chase it in, then we won't have trouble! "Qin Tian has long wanted the devil to enter the mountain, so that the ammunition this winter will not be worried, but it is obvious that the devil does not dare to enter the mountain at all.
"Yes! The devils have never taken advantage of entering the mountains, and they have basically been wiped out by us! If they dare to go into the mountains! That's not what we want! ”
"Let's go!"
Qin Tian led a team of 400 people, Qi Rui led 300 people, and this time all the troops of the Qingtian Army were here.
"Pass the order! This time try to keep the horses and cars intact as much as possible! ”
"Big brother! Do you want a war horse and a devil's car? Wen Qi asked,
"Cars, motorcycles!"
"Got it!"
The third brigade of the Araki detachment rushed over at full speed in order to block the Optimus Army, and when they saw Jiuhua Mountain, they were suddenly attacked, which scared these devils a lot, because what they were most worried about was being ambushed by the Optimus Army.
Because all the devils know that the Optimus Army is well armed, and each of them has at least two guns, a submachine gun and a rifle.
In fact, this is not a rumor, the main force of the Qingtian Army is indeed such equipment, because the submachine gun firepower is fierce but the range is short, and the soldiers who are over 200 meters will definitely not use submachine guns.
Sniper rifles, submachine guns, light and heavy machine guns suddenly beckoned to the ghost soldiers who were hurrying away, and the cavalry on horseback died as soon as they came up, and the devils on the car jumped out of the car to find cover and fired back and exchanged fire with Qin Tian and them.
Qin Tian They don't look at the only 400 people, but they are not afraid of the devil's brigade of more than 1,000 people, and soon the devil chose to retreat, because it will take at least half an hour for the reinforcements to arrive, and it is estimated that there are not many people left in such a brigade, and the reason for the devil's retreat is that the environment of their location is very bad, and the Qingtian army occupies a favorable terrain, and the charge cannot be rushed, and the devil can only be beaten.
Seeing the devil retreating, Qin Tian let the soldiers chase for a thousand meters, and then came back and snatched the devil's military uniform, horses, guns, ammunition and cars.
Qin Tian rode more than 50 war horses and drove the devil's military vehicle to support Yu Su and Qi Rui, but the devil didn't chase after them at all, and chased after Wangshan Town for a while and turned back.
Qin Tian guessed that it should be that after the devil cavalry was attacked, he immediately telegraphed the other devil troops, and they were worried that they would also be ambushed, so they did not pursue.
"Big brother! Grabbed six cars, more than fifty war horses! Is there such a devil military uniform to pretend to be a devil to go to Chizhou? ”
This is a common trick used by Qin Tianjing, and most of the main forces of the Optimus Army can speak Japanese, so even if they pretend to be devils, it is not easy to be discovered, and the Optimus Army has taken advantage of this point.
"It's not time yet! Wait for Yi Chen and Qiao Wu to hear from them! ”
The 3rd Brigade of the Araki Detachment was ambushed, and the cavalry wing lost more than half of its cavalry and horses at its maximum, and also lost six cars, because they did not go up again after jumping out of the car.
Araki Jiro reported the situation to Anan Yuiji, but he scolded him, Anan Yui thought that they did not dare to continue the pursuit, because according to the intelligence, the Qingtian Army was only six or seven hundred people at most, there were three or four hundred people in Wangshan Town, and there were three or four hundred people in ambush, this is almost all their strength, since they have already exchanged fire, why not hold on.
Anan Yui angrily reprimanded Jiro Araki and Taro Ishihara in a telegram, saying that they were cowards and did not have the momentum of the Imperial Japanese Army.
Before they could recover their strength, the Optimus Army attacked Wangshan Town again, and this time the firepower was fiercer than the last time, Anan Yui received a report that this time the Araki detachment was all going to support Wangshan Town, and it was still a flanking and encirclement attack.
This time it was the wing of Taro Ishihara of Chizhou who was ambushed, and this time Qin Tian was ambushed with a team of 500 people, and only half of the brigade fled back to Chizhou, and Qin Tian and they captured some horses, guns and ammunition.
At this time, Yu Su had already occupied Wangshan Town, and when the Araki detachment arrived, Qin Tian and they had already finished the ambush and Yu Su had all evacuated.
In this way, the Optimus Army continued to toss the Araki Detachment and the Ishihara Wing like a dogfight, and each time they tossed, they lost some troops, and after half a month, there were still two and a half of the three brigades of the Araki Detachment, and there were still two and a half brigades left in the Ishihara Wing guarding Chizhou.
Araki Jiro and Ishihara Taro were not in a hurry, Anan was only a few anxious, he sent the Jiang Teng detachment to support, this Jiang Teng detachment is a brigade of the 14th mixed brigade and a mountain artillery squadron, when they came, they still couldn't feel the shadow of the Optimus Army, they always ran away with two shots.
"Yaga! They are fatigue tactics! It's going to bring us down! ”
"Commander! If this continues, our soldiers will be mentally exhausted! I think it's better to solve them as soon as possible! ”
"I also want to deal with the Optimus Army as soon as possible! But now our army is afraid of war when it hears that it is the Optimus Army! ”
"Why don't you transfer the Sixth Division! Surely they are not afraid of the Optimus Army! ”
"But they're going to be transferred!"
"Then destroy the Optimus before they are transferred!"
"Good! I'll talk to General Kanda Masase! ”
Anan Yuji called Kanda Masasang, the commander of the Sixth Division, and explained to him the situation of the Optimus Army, hoping that he could send troops to assist the Araki detachment in encircling and suppressing this nasty army, to Anan Yuiji's surprise, this request was rejected by Kanda Masasang.
