Chapter 1198: The Roundabout Bear and Wolf Squad
The three of them are all veterans of the battle, and they can see the battle situation very clearly, as long as Liu Tuanzuo can lead his troops to occupy the Japanese artillery position or even just defeat it, then the two Japanese infantry wings in the Jiuguan and Niangzi Pass areas are strong and weak.
But being vulnerable doesn't mean that people won't slip away, but if you want to block them, you have to pay a sufficient price. Without the cannon, they are not weak.
Niangziguan is the Third Army of the Central Army, and the nearly 20,000 troops of the two divisions are not their turn to worry. But the 77th Infantry Wing on the Jiuguan side will have to look at them.
In the past few days, the Japanese army has suffered a lot of losses in the offensive and defensive battles at Jiuguan, and the number of casualties counted in front of the positions of the two armies is more than 1,000, and if you count those who were killed by artillery and those who were blown up, it is estimated that there will be no less than 1,500 people, but an infantry wing has 3,800 people, and the Japanese army still has more than 2,000 troops.
The hundred-legged insect is still dead but not stiff, not to mention the elite Japanese infantry with a lot of personnel and equipment still alive? The 772nd Regiment still has less than 1,800 people in the battle, the casualties of the first battalion of the Independent Regiment are slightly smaller, but the number is not much, and the number of soldiers who can fight is only 700 people, plus the less than 5,000 troops that the 17th Division can use, a total of only about 7,000 people, it is not difficult to defeat this large number of Japanese troops in the field, but if you want to completely annihilate the Japanese army, it is not an easy job.
Without howitzers, they still have infantry guns and heavy machine guns, and even planes, if they come and do the opposite, according to the mountain terrain, attack and defend the position, they want to kill them without paying huge casualties and no price, it is difficult.
In the end, it was the opinion put forward by Deputy Commander Wang that was adopted by the other two surnamed Ye, although it was a bit bold and radical, but as long as it really worked, then the 2,000-odd Japanese army could not slip away at all.
The tactic proposed by Deputy Regiment Commander Wang was actually somewhat similar to the most commonly used tactics of the Japanese army, sending a small group of troops to the rear of the enemy to harass and ambush.
I said that it was radical because the whole battle situation had not yet been completely clear, and the Japanese 26th Artillery position had not yet been captured, an infantry battalion would be sent to make a detour from the right side to the mountainous area of the rear flank of the Japanese army. However, it is not an encirclement, but a company platoon, occupying the commanding heights.
If the Japanese army did not want to run and honestly stayed in the position or fled along the road, this infantry battalion would naturally not play a role, but if the Japanese army found out that something was wrong and fled lightly along the mountain road, then this infantry battalion, which was seven or eight miles away from the positions of both sides, would have a role, and told them with bullets that this road was impassable.
At the very least, it is to block them, waiting for the main force to pursue them and encircle them in the mountains.
It is said to be bold because, after all, an infantry battalion is only five or six hundred people, and they must at least support the desperate counterattack of the No. 2000 devils until the main force arrives, and because the mountain roads are rugged and difficult, they must all be lightly armed, and without heavy firepower, can they still harvest the lives of the devils as easily as they did on the Jiuguan position?
If you can't, you will have to pay for your own life.
It was like a double-edged sword, blocking the retreat of the Japanese army and making them miserable, and at the same time, they would cut themselves if they were not careful.
However, there was no other way to stop the Japanese from escaping into the mountains. Once they are allowed to flee into the mountains like wild dogs, not to mention the 7,000 people here, even the 100,000 troops on the Jindong front line, I don't know how much work it will take to clear this Japanese army.
Except for the first battalion of the independent regiment, there is no other unit suitable for this task.
At 3 o'clock in the morning, with the help of the cover of night, the main position of the Jiuguan front line quietly completed the change of defense, and the 3rd Battalion of the 772nd Regiment was stationed in the main position of Jiuguan. The 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment was composed of three infantry companies, which were divided into three groups from the right flank to the mountains behind the Japanese position.
A detour in the mountains is not like being in the plains, and you can take a detour of seven or eight miles. According to the reconnaissance before the war, if you want to go around from Jiuguan to the rear of the Japanese army, it is at least 20 miles, and it is all sheep intestine paths, and if you are not careful, you will get lost.
It's not easy to arrive in 4 hours in full gear.
This time, they didn't bring heavy machine guns, they didn't bring 82 or even 60 shells, and each gun only had a capacity of 10 rounds. Because of the long distance, the rugged and steep terrain of the mountains, and the fact that the march was at night, in order to ensure sufficient physical strength and rush to the designated place before the start of the battle, each person was allowed to carry only 100 rounds of ammunition and four grenades, and the light and heavy machine gun teams were only allowed to carry half of the usual ammunition base.
But this time, they brought Xiong Er and Xiong Si, and with these two guys who belonged to the mountains and forests to escort them along the way, it might be a lot easier. God knows how many miles the Japanese army has expanded the warning range of its own spearheads, and a battalion will attack lightly, but don't let the Japanese army make dumplings that will shame all the officers and soldiers on the Jiuguan front!
Not to mention, the green wolf and the giant panda really belong to the elves of the mountains, and Ye Zifei really didn't transfer them from the field hospital in vain. At 6:50 a.m., when the sky was already slightly bright, prey was found in the mountains and forests four or five miles away from the Japanese position.
The two Japanese soldiers who were sleeping soundly in the grass were awakened from their sleep by a strange wheezing, and when they suddenly opened their eyes, in the thin morning light, a large mouth of blood spraying a fishy smell almost did not stimulate their bladders to contract wildly.
A wolf, a big wolf, was looking at them coldly with their heads down.
The wolf, really big, bigger than people imagined, and he was wearing a small vest. But that doesn't detract from its horror at all.
Anyway, the screams of the Japanese army out of fear were like Xiong Er was about to burst his chrysanthemum, which was very poignant. In the silent mountains, spread far and wide.
Of course, in the mountains, no matter how loud you scream, the mountain peaks will block and absorb the sound waves, and it is only three or four hundred meters away.
The first instinct of the two Japanese soldiers was to go and get their guns, which they put next to them while they sleek. But they were tragic.
Guns, gone.
Someone stole it.
To be exact, it was stolen by a bear, a large flower bear.
Under Bear Four's ass sat two rifles, which he had quietly stolen from the two earthy humans with his huge bear paws. Although the giant panda was disgusted with this yellow, because it did not receive the attack order, it did not immediately slap the neck of the yellow figure with its claws exposed.
In addition to wolves and bears? The two over-fertilized Japanese soldiers had no guns again, so they could only touch the bayonets hanging from their waists.
According to its experience, once a hostile human touches its waist, it will be a threat to it.
The body is slightly prostrate, and the lips are turned up, revealing three-centimeter-long fangs, which is a precursor to the wolf's imminent attack.
But the Japanese knew this, they only knew that without guns, only bayonets were their most solid support.
As a result, the one with the most quick hands and feet was the first to be unlucky. Before his hand could touch the bayonet sheath, the green wolf who had been staring at it jumped violently, and a sharp pain began to spread.
The green wolf bit the Japanese soldier's neck with great accuracy, and the sharp four canine teeth were firmly embedded in his soft neck. Any prey that is bitten by a wolf's neck, let alone a person, is a bison, and will eventually die of suffocation.
Of course, the Japanese soldier is not a bison, he still has hands, and he is still struggling desperately, and his hands are still desperately trying to pull out his bayonet and deal a fatal blow to the terrifying beast in front of him. If Xiong Er is the only one, maybe he will still succeed.
However, wolves have always been creatures that the team assists in hunting. Xiong Er, there are also helpers.
As a result, this desperate Japanese soldier suffered another blow very sadly.
A huge bear paw slammed into his forearm, and after a muffled "bang", the Japanese soldier's right arm turned out strangely, and it was properly fractured. If a person who understands martial arts sees this scene, it is estimated that his teeth hurt, this move is not the collapse of the Baji Boxing!
It's just that it appears on a panda, which seems a little too abrupt.
However, he has been beaten by Liu Tuanzuo at least hundreds of times with the same trick, not to mention a clever giant panda, even if it is a pig, I am afraid he has learned it. What's more, Xiong Si doesn't rely on moves, but on the strength of Xiong.
Xiong Si, who can lift more than 200 pounds of heavy objects and walk in a large circle, is a strong man in the independent regiment second only to Liu Tuanzuo, and he smashed the arm bones of an ordinary person with one palm, isn't that just like playing?
It is not the first time that a wolf and a bear have cooperated in hunting, and even the 200-kilogram wild boar is not their opponent, and the end of this tragic Japanese army can be imagined, no matter how hard the only remaining arm of the Japanese army that lost the last resistance force, in the end it can only be waved in vain a few times in the air, and then it hangs down weakly, and its eyes are completely white.
And the other Japanese soldier survived by luck, not that he was frightened and wanted to surrender to the two brutes, but he was really powerless! Before the bayonet could reach its hands, a huge bear butt suddenly sat down from a height of nearly a meter with a weight of 110 kilograms, almost not pressing his shit out.
The most terrifying thing is that as long as he moves his hand, the giant panda sitting on him will open its mouth close to his head, and the seemingly stupid bear wearing a pair of big sunglasses looks very cute even with its big mouth open. But this one knows that this murderous guy is actually very terrifying, and without that big mouth, just two big bear paws that "stroke" him can smash his head, even if he is still wearing a Type 90 steel helmet on his head.
Dead companions still slightly tilted their stiff arms as evidence.
It's just that why didn't the terrible wolf and bear kill him right away? Could it be that you have to wait for other wild creatures to come to dinner together? Do they still have a habit of eating hot?
When there was obviously a creature approaching not far away, and the sound of "rustling" came, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that the miserable Japanese army let out a large pool of heat.
The smell was so exciting that Xiong Si's eyes were a little circled, and he almost didn't beat this unhygienic guy into slag with one palm.
This may also be the first time that the old monkey saw the little devil who was a little excited to meet the Chinese who was going to kill him, and at that moment, he even felt that he had met a friendly army disguised as a devil, if not the other party's standard Japanese.
When they saw that it was a group of Chinese, the Japanese soldiers who were bursting with feces and urine wept with joy, and they didn't need to ask the old monkey who was still hanging on their arms, so they took the initiative to explain.
After all, people may kill people, but they won't eat people! Especially when he's so cooperative.
