Chapter 404: The Vast Sea of the All-People War
War is always dead.
Victory can never be won in a vacuum, and can only be won by the shedding of blood and sacrifice by countless people.
Zhang Ran understands this truth better than anyone else.
But he's really scared to see someone sacrifice!
After all, no matter what ideals, the future, or other reasons are used, the dead can never be resurrected.
And the families of those who died will never see the faces of their loved ones again, as if they have been cut from life, leaving a blank that can never be filled again.
It's like a person who was extremely healthy and suddenly lost an arm......
That kind of blankness, without personal experience, can never be experienced!
So since coming to this era, Zhang Ran has been avoiding sacrifice as much as possible.
Whether it's guerrilla tactics that can almost be described as shameless, or collecting everything that can be seen like a miser who only gets in and can't get out, doing everything possible to make sulfuric acid, making flying thunder cannons, and digging out the hollow to get this dirt tank......
All of this is done in order to avoid sacrifice as much as possible and to die as little as possible.
Let those villagers in the base area who support themselves from the bottom of their hearts and are willing to send their relatives to stand with them and fight with them will experience less pain of life and death.
Because of this, when Zhang Ran looked at the rows of sacrificed soldiers under his feet, he felt extremely distressed!
More than seventy people died, and thirty or forty were wounded!
Although this battle is not as tragic as the sacrifice of Lu County when fighting the watchtower, the number of casualties is too much!
"it!"
Zhang Ran gritted his teeth and scolded, and immediately ordered at the first moment when the Xiaogushan position was cleared, and the team launched a pursuit at full speed, and none of the men and horses of the Yoshino Brigade wanted to run!
"Captain, it's too presumptuous to do this!"
Hearing Zhang Ran's order, Kang Ting's face changed, and he reminded Zhang Ran in a low voice - the Japanese puppet army that was attracted by the militia around him had quickly left the battlefield and rushed back to help at the moment when Xiaogushan was attacked!
Now in pursuit, not only will we have to face the fully mechanized Middle East led by Ryuichi who came to meet Yoshino, but we may also be surrounded by those small Japanese forces who have returned from all directions!
The correct way is to let Yoshino and Ryuichi converge, and the detachment will attack in all directions with the company as a unit, and cooperate with the militia to clean up those small groups of Japanese puppet troops first!
Just like cleaning up a crab, you should first get rid of its minions, and then you can fry and stew and fry!
Otherwise, I'm afraid that I won't be able to kill the enemy, and the anti-object will hurt it!
This is also one of the strategies that has been made in advance!
Zhang Ran waved his hand, saying that he was indeed very heartbroken because of such a large number of casualties, but he had not lost his mind because of this!
Therefore, he ordered the pursuit, not because he wanted to avenge the sacrificed warriors, but because the main force of Yoshinobe now has only about 400 people left, and they have been broken by the detachment!
If you can kill them before Ryuichi arrives, then the Japanese army besieging Dingzhou will only be left with Haradabe!
When the time comes, the detachment and Yuan Zhenfeng will attack inside and outside, even if they can't wipe out all the Japanese puppet troops in this area, they can at least defeat them, thus threatening the back of the Japanese army that is storming Pingtongguan!
And if now, if the detachment puts the main combat target on those small Japanese puppet troops on the periphery, Yoshino Harada will meet again, and the core strength will not suffer much loss at all, if the other party is willing to grit his teeth and defend it, I am afraid that the detachment and Yuan Zhenfeng's department will really be dragged to the side of Dingzhou......
This is what Zhang Ran doesn't want to see, even if at the previous military meeting of the detachment, Kang Ting and other generals had the most optimistic estimate of what the detachment could do in this battle, that is, to assist Yuan Zhenfeng to hold Dingzhou and drag Harada Yoshinobu here!
But now, because the detachment uses the newly equipped earthen tanks, the detachment has the opportunity to further expand the results of the battle, where is Zhang Ran willing to continue to follow the battle plan step by step?
"In that case, then I have no opinion!"
Although Kang Ting had to actively complete the transformation from a soldier to a qualified general because of his important position in the detachment, in his bones, this guy is still the kind of soldier who is more willing to charge forward with a gun and kill you with devils.
Therefore, after making sure that Zhang Ran was not killed and lost his mind, Kang Ting thought about it for a while, and immediately turned back to deploy the next battle plan - let Jia Quantao convey the latest combat orders to Li Dakou as soon as possible, and let the militia that contained the Japanese puppet army squad be sure to delay the plan of the Japanese puppet army to retreat as much as possible, and buy time for the detachment!
The wounded guarded the bodies of the martyrs, waiting for the militia and local activists to come and respond, and the large army immediately set off to continue the pursuit of Yoshinobu!
Although Yoshinobe has fled for more than ten or twenty minutes, there are many militiamen along the way who will use mines and grenades in their hands to slow them down, as long as the detachment is fast enough, the chance of catching up with the remnants of Yoshino should be great!
Looking at the bodies of those sacrificed soldiers, the sad soldiers got the latest battle orders, and one by one they roared and swore to the remains of those martyrs - now there is a chance to avenge you, you have to watch over!
Then pack up and go again!
Many of the wounded also immediately got up and followed the large army, ignoring the dissuasion of the health team members, saying that they were slightly injured!
Now that the detachment is employing people, how can he be slightly injured and left in the line of fire?
Yoshinobe runs wild!
From time to time, mines exploded in front of them, and many Japanese soldiers died unexplained because they stepped on mines!
Although there were definitely not many mines along the way, the sound of explosions from time to time, and the corpses of those bombed and shattered colleagues, made the Japanese troops of Yoshino's brigade tremble every time they fell, and the speed of the march was greatly slowed down!
Thundered......
There was another explosion at the front, and several Japanese soldiers were blown up in a blur of flesh and blood, screaming screaming!
Farther away, the Japanese soldiers could even see that in the shadowy darkness, there were many ordinary people hiding their heads and tails, some observing their course of action, and some were brandishing small hoes and brazenly laying mines......
"Bagayalu, you damned pigs...... It's so special, bully, you guys! ”
This scene made the eyes of the Japanese soldiers who hated me want to crack, and they scolded with grief and indignation!
If they could, they would have done a desperate carpet search of all the surrounding places and killed all these damn China pigs to vent their anger!
But they knew that they didn't have a chance at all - because in their rear, the Jindong detachment could catch up at any moment!
"Yoshino-kun, it's not a way to go on like this!"
Tun Ben was sad and indignant, staring at the shadowy figures in the distance, and blood was about to spurt out in his eyes!
Yoshino is also angry with steel teeth and crushes!
In the face of the Chinese army, the Imperial Army is often invincible and invincible, but now, it is actually humiliated by a group of Chinese people!
That kind of grievance and grief is simply incomprehensible!
"Damn the pig, you wait for me!"
Yoshino jumped to his feet and cursed in half-baked Chinese while ordering the team to abandon the main road and go to those fields or hillside paths!
Although these roads are difficult to walk, and the speed of the team will be slowed down, thus prolonging the time to join the Long Yiquan mechanized squadron that has rushed to help, it is better than now, and every step makes people feel like they are hanging their heads on their belts......
"Wait, wait, I'm afraid of you little devil......"
The villagers scolded each other in the distant darkness with their voices crossed their waists, and they were very proud, and said in their hearts that they were waiting for you little devils to come, and we all didn't have a good life, so don't you seize the opportunity to clean up your little devil once?
In the future, that's later, at least for now, Lao Tzu can kill your little devil!
The little devil gave up the road, and walked the mountain road between the fields and the shallow, angry and anxious, and smoked.
And in the rear, the Jindong detachment has been pursuing along the main road - those mines on the road will not have any impact on the detachment at all!
Because as soon as the little devil walked by, the villagers who were hiding in the shadows immediately poured out, checking every section of the road along the way, and digging out the mines that had not been triggered one by one......
At the same time, many villagers saw the detachment's team coming from afar, so they immediately greeted it, handed water to those who handed over food, and at the same time reported to the detachment the route of action of the little devils......
Don't say where the little devil has gone, even if the little devil loses a hair, the detachment has a clear grasp!
According to the clues provided by the villagers, the detachment was immediately divided into three teams, one of which was inserted to block the way of the Yoshino brigade, and the other team, under the leadership of the villagers, copied the flank of the path to pursue in parallel, while the other way, led by Zhang Ran, followed the pursuit......
Under the cover of night, the teams on both sides chased after me......
At the same time, the fully mechanized squadron that rushed to the aid of Yoshinobe, as well as the devil squads that came to the rescue, were in big trouble!
There were constant explosions, gunshots, and the sound of the all-mechanized squadron on its way!
There were mines buried in the ground, grenades that suddenly flew out of the darkness, or cold guns that came at us......
For the Long Yi squadron, which opened the way with three tanks, such an attack was not painful, but it was like a mosquito buzzing around it, which was very annoying!
But in any case, the Ryuichi Squadron can at least continue to advance in the direction where the Yoshino Squadron is located!
And those Japanese puppet army squads that were attracted out by the militia before were not so lucky!
For more than a day, Li Dakou was going to be driven crazy by various militia captains and the like!
Because the militia captains received an order to contain the Japanese puppet army, not to attack!
Therefore, the combat method of these militia teams is that when the devil catches up, they run quickly, and if the devil wants to run, then they catch up and fight again......
This kind of combat is a tailor-made tactic for the vast majority of the militia guerrillas!
But for the militia team under the leadership of the detachment, whether it is the militia captain or those militiamen, they all feel that they are being underestimated by the detachment......
Can we, the militia, be compared to ordinary militia and guerrillas?
Other militias and guerrillas, how can we have so many guns and ammunition, so many grenadiers?
And in almost every team, there is almost a machine gun!
Even machine gun grenadiers are available, so let's contain the devil puppet army?
Every militia feels that just letting themselves and others contain the devils is really an anti-aircraft gun to fight mosquitoes, and it is overkill!
You have to play decently!
