The tactic of pulling the bull, which can also be called the tactic of leading the bull by the nose, refers to turning a hard-to-fight enemy into an easy-to-fight enemy by applying bait to the enemy under unfavorable terrain or situational conditions to make him act according to our intentions.

Lure the enemy in a favorable position into a disadvantageous situation, divide the strong enemy into several sections and turn it into a weak enemy, and then concentrate our elite forces to destroy the enemy.

Take advantage of the enemy's greed to win, throw a decoy at them, and attack as soon as the enemy takes the bait. This is actually quite an old tactic, but because of its great deception, it often works well in actual combat.

The most skillful player in this tactic is undoubtedly the commander of the Eighth Route Army who is in the northern war of resistance at the moment. As a special officer trained by the Republic of China in later generations, Hu Biao naturally knew that if this tactic was used well, he would be able to defeat the strong with the weak.

A few mortars were transferred from the Snow Shame Camp and set up an artillery bombardment not far from the big army of the little devils, provoking the little devils to send troops to encircle and suppress them. Then he deliberately sent only one platoon of troops to lure the greedy little devils into pursuit.

In the mountains, as long as you go around a few circles, the pursuing troops will be disconnected from the rearguard troops. This trick can also be called luring the enemy deeper. Even if the little devil reacted and wanted to end the pursuit, he couldn't retreat quickly.

and other little devils lured into the mountain, which were divided into two parts. Even if there is a little devil's army not far away, the little devil who can be cut off can no longer form a strength advantage over Hu Biao, and Hu Biao naturally wants to bite hard.

Looking at the team of little devils in front of him who had been lured into the mountain and had already fainted, Hu Biao still arranged for the guard platoon to take the lead, and the remaining four combat platoons, one platoon was responsible for peripheral vigilance and blocking, and the remaining three platoons joined the encirclement and annihilation battle.

When the battle began, listening to the dense gunfire coming from all directions, the two Japanese squadron leaders who were pursuing changed their faces instantly: "Baga! We were fooled! This is the main force of the Chinese army, fast! Break through, break out of the mountain! ”

"I can't get out! You see, they have formed a situation of encirclement on all sides, and we must organize a defensive counterattack on the spot and wait for the follow-up troops to arrive for reinforcements. When the captain hears the gunshots, he will definitely send troops to support! ”

In the face of sudden and huge changes, the two squadron leaders could not agree on their opinions. Fortunately, after some identification, the two finally reached a decision to fight back on the spot. The question is, how could Hu Biao give them a chance?

"Concentrate the grenadiers and use the grenades as fast as possible. The rest of the platoons, get ready to charge in close combat! ”

"Yes, Battalion Commander!"

The soldiers of the guard platoon who stayed by Hu Biao's side quickly removed the grenadiers they were carrying from their bodies. More than a dozen grenadiers were set up, and one grenade after another flew towards the little devils in the ambush circle, and the little devils were blown up everywhere in an instant.

At the same time, the three platoon commanders who cooperated with the operation commanded the soldiers to form a column and compress the activity space of the little devils in a three-sided encirclement situation. When the trumpet sounded, all the fighters who participated in the battle rushed down.

"Brothers, rush! Kill the little devils! ”

The first to rush into the ranks of the little devils were undoubtedly the guards platoon fighters with better physical strength. In the face of the surviving little devils, most of the guard platoon fighters with kung fu also tore and killed with the little devils.

And Hu Biao, who has the best kung fu, holds a three-edged bayonet in his left hand and a box cannon in his right hand, piercing the throat of the little devil with a bayonet from time to time, and shooting those little devils who try to shoot cold guns from time to time.

Wait until the fighters of the remaining three battle platoons rush down the hill and surround the little devils in groups of three. When a soldier was unfortunately stabbed by a little devil, the stabbed soldier also said heroically: "Brothers, avenge me!" ”

Holding the bayonet pierced into his body with both hands, he created opportunities for his comrades-in-arms. The result is obvious, for the comrades-in-arms who sacrificed their lives to pull the little devil to accompany the funeral, how could the comrades-in-arms around them not seize the opportunity?

Holding a rifle to the left and right, watching the bayonet stabbed into the body of the little devil, these soldiers did not forget to scold angrily: "Little devil, cao your grandma, go to death!" ”

Hu Biao, who watched this scene, shouted directly while his blood was boiling: "Guard platoon!" With a pistol, get rid of the little devil as soon as possible. The old rule, don't take prisoners, kill all the little devils to Lao Tzu! ”

"Yes, Battalion Commander!"

Even if there are surviving little devils, from Hu Biao's orders, it can be seen that Hu Biao should be the commander. Just when they tried to pull Hu Biao to accompany him to the funeral, how could the soldiers of the guard platoon around Hu Biao give them such an opportunity?

Throwing away the infantry with bayonets in their hands, the fighters of the guard platoon took out box guns from their waists. A double-gun general like Xu Sandao is even more of a small devil who shoots left and right with a bow and moves. Even if they were seriously wounded, there were fighters who stepped forward to mend their swords.

Seeing that the smoke of gunpowder had not yet dissipated and a bloody battlefield, Hu Biao quickly said: "Rescue the wounded!" The seriously wounded were immediately sent back to the camp for treatment. Lightly wounded soldiers, return to the garrison together. The rest of the people clean up the battlefield, hurry up! ”

"Yes, Battalion Commander!"

Thinking of the lack of skilled doctors in the Snow Shame Camp at the moment, some soldiers who had the opportunity to be treated often died because they could not be treated in time. Thinking of this, Hu Biao also felt a little uncomfortable, but he knew that he was powerless to reverse this situation.

Although he knows some battlefield first aid, he has little experience in treating serious injuries. As a commander of the troops, it is impossible for him to delay the ongoing battle in order to treat the seriously wounded.

What can be done is to use all the Western medicines purchased and looted from Shanghai earlier to treat the seriously injured. Whether they survive depends on the luck of these wounded. For more, Hu Biao couldn't do anything about it.

Leaving a combat platoon responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, Hu Biao immediately led the rest of the troops to the nearby mountain. There is also a pursuit team of little devils there, waiting for Hu Biao and them to annihilate it?

And the captain of the Japanese infantry brigade, who was still staying on the other side of the mountain at this moment, listened to the fierce exchange of fire coming from the mountain, and his face changed a little: "Not good! Our troops are exchanging fire with the main force of the Chinese army! Hurry up, go to the support now! ”

Under his orders, the few troops that remained around him soon rushed to reinforcements en masse. As they reinforce along the route the search force had previously taken, they found that the mountains were littered with traces of people running.

The most deadly thing is that the place where the fire was exchanged was not far from them, but they couldn't hear it and couldn't see it. I was going to rush in the direction where the gunfire came from, but I suddenly saw the troops rushing in front and was ambushed by the thunder.

The explosion sounded, and the little devil who followed immediately crouched down. After the explosion, the screams of several little devils and wounded soldiers made the captain of the Japanese brigade who ordered reinforcements quickly realize that if he continued like this, he was afraid that the entire brigade might be wiped out.

"Yaga! Didn't the reconnaissance unit say earlier that the main forces of the Chinese army stayed in the mountains and did not move? Is the Miura Brigade attacking now the main force of the Shina Army? Where did the main force of the Chinese army, which ambushed us, come from? ”

Originally, the Japanese captain who was only ordered to contain the troops of the Snow Shame Battalion did not expect that when the troops entered the mountains, they would encounter harassment, ambush and even artillery bombardment one after another. It's as if you're here to make soy sauce, but you've become the protagonist of the battlefield.

Seeing that the road ahead was impassable, the Japanese captain immediately ordered the troops to choose another road to continue to rush to reinforcements. As a result, it was obvious that not long after walking, the little devil who was in charge of finding the way was ambushed by the treacherous thunder again, and the troops had to stop advancing again.

Before they arrived at the battlefield, the fierce gunfire in front of them seemed to quickly subside. The captain of the Japanese infantry group, who was rushing to reinforce, immediately signaled the troops to stop advancing, and said with some hesitation: "The battle is over?" ”

From the sound of gunfire that had subsided, it was not difficult to hear that the battle ahead was over. In such a short period of time, who is the victorious side? Although many little devil officers don't want to believe the answer in their hearts, they can roughly guess what the answer is.

A captain who stayed beside the captain of the Japanese army also said in a timely manner: "Your Excellency, in the current situation, we can no longer be led by the other party. I think it's better to send someone down the mountain and ask the co-captain for tactical guidance! ”

"Yaga! An infantry brigade entered the mountains, and was only responsible for the task of diversion. But at the moment, more than half of the brigade has been killed or wounded. But what about our enemies? So far, I haven't even seen the corpse of a soldier of the Chinese Army, how can you ask me to ask for tactical guidance? ”

"Your Excellency, we don't know the situation of the second, third, and fourth squadrons at the moment. If you continue to move forward, you will most likely be ambushed. Is it possible to send a squad to find the troops entering the mountains and have them quickly withdraw to join us? ”

The scolded lieutenant did not dare to ask for tactical guidance again, and could only suggest that the troops that had previously dispersed the pursuit be retrieved. Sending a search team into the mountains, just to recall the pursuing troops, should not be too risky.

But there were still officers who said: "If we send the team out, there will not be many troops around us!" ”

"But in this situation, do we have any other options? Ladies and gentlemen, don't forget, it's not much time left until dark. If we can't leave before dark, we'll have to stay in the mountains for the night.

With this kind of weather, it will definitely be cold to spend the night in the mountains. When we went up the mountain early, we didn't have the necessary camping equipment with us. Without tents and quilts, how could the soldiers rest at night? ”

The captain didn't say anything else, but the officers, including the captain, knew that the captain's worries were very reasonable. In order to withdraw as many troops as possible, the Japanese captain quickly adopted the captain's suggestion.

It's a pity that not long after the search team was dispatched, fierce gunfire and explosions were heard again in the mountains on the other side. Compared to hearing the exchange of fire before, the Japanese captain tried to send troops to support, but this time the Japanese captain was very quiet.

Perhaps this captain has realized that the troops sent out are afraid that it will be difficult to come back. And the next thing he has to do is to choose to lead the remaining troops out of the mountain, or choose to live and die with the other missing troops!

And this is undoubtedly another dilemma!
