Chapter 291: No Regrets
After the communications officer left, a lieutenant beside Tsuruta Numu walked up to Tsuruta Nunan's side: "Sir, are we launching an attack on the eight frontal roads, and cooperate with the attack of the pig lieutenant over there to speed up the progress of the battle?" This eight-way force is fiercely tight, and with the strength of Lieutenant Pig Stock, I am afraid it will be difficult to solve the problem in a short time. ”
"Sir, this area is the lair of the 129th Division with the most cunning tactics and changeable tactics among the eight routes, and it is also the nest of the 129th Division with the most fierce combat effectiveness. Whether there are eight roads around, we don't have accurate information at the moment. What if the gunfire here attracts the Eighth Route Army? Until the arrival of reinforcements of troops from the rest of the directions, the overall situation was not very favorable for us. ”
In response to the lieutenant's suggestion, Tsuruta Numan shook his head: "The strength on Lieutenant Pig's side is sufficient, and we only have a small advance team and an infantry detachment on our side, and it is easy to expose all our strength if we attack rashly." My opinion is that they can contain the eight ways in front of them right here. ”
"As long as the eight roads in front of you don't go to reinforce there, it won't put too much pressure on Lieutenant Pig Stock. Rest assured, as long as we solve the more than 100 eight-way combat troops in person, the remaining non-combatants will be caged birds with no way to escape. We'll be able to catch it when the time comes, Lieutenant, and you won't be able to run away from your exploits. ”
Speaking of this, Tsuruta Numan raised the telescope in his hand again, shook his head and said, "When the enemy meets, this is extraordinarily red-eyed." Lieutenant Pig is still a little anxious, what he should do most is not to fight so hard, but to grind slowly with his opponent. Like the grinding disc used by the people of China, the strength of the eight roads, which is only more than a hundred people, is polished. ”
"As long as this eight-way is polished, other things are not easy to catch? Why be in such a hurry? It was a pleasure to do so, but his troops were going to be scrapped after this battle. It was a loss-making deal, and he did it unwisely as Lieutenant Pig Stock. Revenge for Lieutenant Mashiko, not in a hurry at this time. ”
"It seems that Lieutenant Mashiko Shigeo is still very popular, he died in the previous battle with this Eighth Route in Cross Ridge, and let his subordinates meet with this Eighth Road, but there is a tendency for some enemies to be very angry when they meet. Even my tactical intentions have been forgotten. ”
There was obviously some ridicule about Tsuruta Nunan's words, and it could even be said that he didn't respect the former captain of the advance team too much, but the lieutenant didn't answer. Although the lieutenant was a little disapproving of Tsuruta Numa's current tactics. According to his tactics, it was such a waste of time.
If the surrounding Eighth Route rushed over before the reinforcements, and it was the Eighth Route or themselves who were unlucky at that time, then it would be difficult to say. Who can know if there are eight roads around here, or start early to solve the problem, so as not to have many dreams at night? It's just that the official level crushes people to death, and he has no way to change this stubborn Shaozuo idea.
The stubbornness of this young lieutenant is no worse than that of Lieutenant Pig Stock. The battle was fought like this, and the stubbornness of Lieutenant Inogu, eager to avenge Lieutenant Mashiko, was one thing. This Tsuruta Shaozo only believes in himself, and what kind of grinding tactics he has come up with is another problem.
When this Eighth Route was retreating, there were so many fighters left for the imperial army along the way, and he had to wait for the opponent to move before he had to make a preemptive strike. As a result, two detachments plus a heavy machine gun were eaten by the opponent in such a short time, resulting in a shortage of troops at the moment. If those two detachments were put into the battlefield, this would have been solved long ago.
It's just these words, this lieutenant didn't dare to say it. If you say it, I can't be sure that this Tsuruta Shaozuo, who looks calm now, but what he thinks in his heart, no one knows, will give himself a big slap? Don't dislike this person yourself.
Here, Tsuruta Numan made up his mind, consumed Li Ziyuan to death little by little, and repeatedly urged the surrounding troops to rush over for reinforcements as soon as possible. When the time comes, Li Ziyuan and the old, weak, sick and disabled people he escorted will be completely wiped out. Even if he eliminated his own henchmen, he also caught a group of cadres from the Eighth Road, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
And Li Ziyuan over there was in a dilemma. Although the Japanese army invested more than 100 troops before, it was not that its own blood was exhausted, but it was necessary to divide troops to control the pass, so as to avoid Li Ziyuan, who was exposed to the enemy on his belly and back, and could really resist him.
Li Ziyuan, who had more limited vitality at hand, was almost drained at the last bit of blood in this bitter battle of a company-level battle on the whole scale. At present, he only has more than 30 troops in his hands, and in the face of the Japanese advance team of 50 or 60 people, he cannot advance or retreat.
Although everyone said that they were defeated and wounded, these Japanese troops still had some follow-up forces, and they were already exhausted. At present, he still needs to control the pass, and he does not dare to mobilize Wang Changfeng to come over for reinforcements, in fact, he is already in the point of being divided and surrounded.
In fact, Li Ziyuan doesn't want to transfer Wang Changfeng back now, but now that he is trapped on this mountain, whether Wang Changfeng can control the pass there is no longer much use, but he has dispersed his limited forces. But now, even if Wang Changfeng is close to him, he can't get in touch.
Although the number of Japanese troops below the mountain was small, they also controlled the road down the mountain. It is almost impossible to send someone to inform Wang Changfeng by himself. Playing the flag, Wang Changfeng couldn't see it at all. If he comes back with a trumpet, Wang Changfeng is not the only one who knows. At that time, it was not only Wang Changfeng who was transferred, but also the Japanese troops on the other side of the pass.
When the time comes, he will send his last bit of vital strength to the mouth of the enemy. During this time, he has been biting the number of Japanese troops in his own force, and Li Ziyuan still has a lot of numbers in his heart. He knew that on the other side of the pass, there were at least dozens of Japanese troops who had not yet been put in.
These Japanese troops did not enter at the beginning, and I am afraid that Tsuruta Numan fought with the determination to contain Wang Changfeng in the pass. In order to completely separate the last bit of vitality of himself. Wang Changfeng did not move, and the dozens of Japanese soldiers would not move. But if Wang Changfeng leaned over, the dozens of Japanese soldiers would pounce on Wang Changfeng's back like hungry wolves and bite him.
When the time comes, Wang Changfeng, who is attacked by the enemy on his back and has no strength to meet him, is afraid that the last bit of strength will be consumed on the way to retreat. Thinking of this, Li Ziyuan couldn't help but sigh that Tsuruta Nuan's arrangement was too meticulous. In a hurry, this guy was able to come up with such a hand, but he could be regarded as exhausting.
Although knowing that the longer you stay here, the greater the danger you face. But right now, Li Ziyuan is really stuck in a situation where he can't move or leave, which is also a situation he has always avoided and is the most unwilling to see. The current predicament makes Li Ziyuan almost at a loss.
Although Li Ziyuan shrank his forces, the control point was transferred to defense. The Japanese advance team that was driven to the bottom of the mountain by Li Ziyuan's hard fighting, and the remaining troops were only fifty or sixty people, and they also fell into a situation where they could not attack. But this Japanese army was nailed there, and it was enough to do nothing but block Li Ziyuan's retreat channel with firepower, and watch Li Ziyuan just down the mountain.
Looking at the Japanese troops under the mountain, and looking at the non-combatants behind him who had asked to participate in the battle several times, Li Ziyuan took a lot of effort to suppress the idea of temporarily reorganizing these people into battle, relying on Wang Changfeng, who was now firmly guarding the pass, to cut off the connection between the two enemy armies and strive to rush out in one go.
These non-combatants, at present, have several hundred people, and if they can be reorganized, they can also increase some of their strength. However, these people have no combat experience, and second, they basically have no experience in weapons and the use of weapons. Throw them into the battlefield, the real combat effectiveness of these people, I'm afraid is not as good as an infantry platoon.
When the time comes, don't open up the situation, but lose all these people. At that time, even if he can rush out, after seeing the division commander and political commissar, what should he say? Snatched out from under the bayonets of the Japanese army, these intellectuals who were extremely valued by the headquarters and division headquarters were exhausted by their own battles?
Li Ziyuan suppressed the idea of reorganizing these intellectuals into battle several times. But the situation is pressing, and it is not known whether there are any brother troops around the area, and how long it will take for the Japanese reinforcements to arrive Li Ziyuan. Looking at the bottom of the mountain, where they were staring at themselves, and they no longer had the strength, the Japanese troops who drove them farther away were a little worried.
I know that the longer I delay here, the worse it will be for me. But now, in addition to sticking to this place, using the terrain to clamp down on a few routes up the mountain with limited troops, and covering the old, weak, sick and disabled behind him, Li Ziyuan can almost be said to be helpless against the current crisis.
Since he joined the Red Army, he can be regarded as fighting for several years. But this is the first time he has encountered such a helpless situation today. Holding the binoculars, Li Ziyuan's eyes did not let go of the dozens of disguised Japanese soldiers under the mountain, but constantly observed the surrounding terrain and the movements of all aspects.
Especially the pass, which is the target of Li Ziyuan's key observation. For Li Ziyuan, once the Japanese army appears in the pass on both sides of the current situation, it will be really in danger. Li Ziyuan's heart has been hanging, looking forward to the sun setting in the west as soon as possible. But the question is to wait until it gets dark, can you do it? Li Ziyuan kept asking himself in his heart.
However, although he is in a critical situation now, Li Ziyuan has no regrets about this battle. Sooner or later, this battle was to be fought, and it was much better to fight early than late until the Japanese troops from other directions rushed over. Unless he can completely get rid of the tail behind him, under the call of Tsuruta Numan behind him, once the Japanese troops from other directions rush over, he will be the biggest threat to himself.
The Eighth Route is good at ambushes, but the Japanese army, which has a variety of tactics, is not much inferior in ambush warfare. The level of ambush warfare of the Japanese army is also quite level. He marched with this tail on his own, in a situation where he could not force himself out. No matter how much action on his side, including the route of the march, he can't escape the eyes behind him.
As long as reinforcements arrive, it would be strange for this guy not to take advantage of the convenience of radio communication and set up an ambush circle for himself. At that time, the Japanese army will not need many soldiers, and only one reinforced squadron will be enough to kill themselves. If you don't get rid of this tail that bites yourself, your safety will not be guaranteed at all.
Instead of waiting for the reinforcements summoned by this guy to arrive and set a trap for himself, it is better to fight now and try to take the initiative into your own hands. Of course, if there are fraternal troops nearby, it is best to be lured by the sound of guns and cannons in the past.
