Chapter 538: The Day When the Old Cat Was Not Home (3)

The Japanese army was subjected to several small-scale attacks on the area between the Xinqiang River and the Miluo River. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In these attacks, the number of Japanese casualties varied, ranging from three or four to five or six, and the vast majority of the attacks were encountered by the Japanese on the way.

The largest number of casualties was a lone squad of Japanese troops, with 34 people and one person not left behind and completely wiped out by the other side.

However, the Japanese casualties were from the brigade on their way, and it was obvious that the Chinese squad that attacked them also knew that they were too many to mess with, but they only fired one shot and ran away, so the Japanese casualties in this situation were not many.

As far as the Japanese army is concerned, they have a more important offensive task on their part, and if they compete with these small groups of Chinese troops, they will feel like a cannon and a big mosquito.

To those Chinese squads, they don't care how strong the Japanese army is, elephants, or small numbers, just a fat pig, bite and run.

Many Japanese troops were crossing roads with high ground on both sides, or crossing a small river that was not deep enough to be shallow by boat, but also crossed the waist and belly, and the attack came unexpectedly, and after a cold shot or a volley of guns, the Chinese squad drilled into the mountains.

For a while, the Japanese army was annoyed by the fighting style of the Chinese team, but they were helpless.

This was an unprecedented situation encountered by the Japanese army, although the Japanese army had also encountered a flank ambush by the Chinese army during the march of the previous general battle, but they ran away after hitting the other side.

Even the Japanese sometimes sent a small number of troops to pursue, and those Chinese who came to attack were not very good in weapons and physical strength, and often they would also be severely damaged in the process of being pursued.

But this attack of the Chinese squad was different, they were bold, even when they encountered a brigade of thousands of people, they dared to shoot, and the marksmanship was extremely accurate.

Moreover, the location they chose to shoot cold guns was good, the Japanese army marched mostly in the mud, and when the division of troops caught up, the other party had already run away without a trace in the dry and easy-to-walk mountainous terrain.

Through various indications, the top brass of the Japanese army determined that it was Huo Xiaoshan's unit that was responsible for these attacks that annoyed them.

In view of the fact that Huo Xiaoshan's battalion now has a reputation among the Japanese army, the Japanese army did not dare to be careless, and ordered the two brigades that originally pursued Huo Xiaoshan's various units not to return to the formation, and then strengthened the clearance on both sides of the main road, and if they encountered such a Chinese team, they must be completely annihilated.

Originally, there were also high-level commanders of the Japanese army who proposed to let the Nanyun Ninja Division, who had dealt with Huo Xiaoshan's subordinate battalion, participate in the war, but because Nanyun Shinobu lost too much in the battle with Huo Xiaoshan in the last time, this proposal was rejected.

As expected by the Japanese army, these small-scale attacks were carried out by the small detachments of Huo Xiaoshan's battalion directly under Huo Xiaoshan.

It doesn't matter if the old cat is not at home, the rat goes to the house, or that there is no tiger in the mountains, and the monkey is the overlord, anyway, now that there is no command of the leaders, the battalion departments directly under the command are like wild horses that have taken off the leash, changing their tricks and exerting their own whimsical ideas to toss the Japanese army.

And at this time, the people who did these things were really the non-backbone elements who were not well known in the direct battalion.

Of course, when it comes to non-backbone elements, they are compared with Huo Xiaoshan, Shen Chong, and Xiaoshi, but in fact, they are also excellent soldiers compared to the soldiers of the Japanese army or the national army.

The original battle was only those backbone elements who showed their faces to create magic, but now these non-backbone elements finally have the opportunity to "bear blind man to stand upright -- show such a small hand", how can they be willing to turn back if they don't toss enough and don't hit the south wall?

Moreover, when they were pursued and separated by the Japanese army, although Zheng Youjian said the meeting place, he did not say the meeting time.

The leaders of these squads and Huo Xiaoshan have long had the ability to think independently, but they knew that if they put the location of the attack on the Japanese army near the peach forest shop, the Japanese army would see the abnormality and then invest heavily in encirclement and suppression, but it was definitely their own battalion that suffered the loss.

Therefore, only the farther away from that peach forest shop, the more freely you can attack the Japanese army without scruples.

However, they saw that the Japanese army was searching and encircling more and more tightly, and the Japanese army strengthened its vigilance on both sides of the march, so the fast squad stopped attacking the Japanese army on the march and began to make other calculations.

However, at this time, there was no contact between the squads of the battalion directly under them, and some did not know that the Japanese army had strengthened the encirclement and suppression of them, so they chose to attack on the way of the Japanese army, but unexpectedly, the praying mantis caught cicadas and yellow finches behind.

On this day, there was such a team, after firing cold guns at the devil brigade in the mud, only to find that the Japanese clearing troops attacking them from the flank had already approached.

This squad is not stupid, how could it be carried hard with the Japanese army, and the girl ran into the mountains, but because the Japanese army pursued closely, it was impossible to get rid of it in a short time.

The army's clearance troops held their breath, and finally caught the target, how to let them escape again, so regardless of casualties, it was a pursuit.

And the squad of the battalion directly under the front also discovered the resoluteness of the Japanese army's will to fight this time, and they could only run desperately in front.

In this way, the two sides fled and chased into the mountains.

Seeing that the Japanese army was really chasing too closely this time, the platoon commander in charge of the squad also knew that his actions were reckless this time, but he secretly decided that no matter what, he couldn't let everyone be implicated in him.

He naturally understood that with the temperament of his brothers, if he only left himself behind to cover them, they would definitely not agree, so he proposed to divide the thirty or so of them into several squads to run.

When the battalion was pursued, it was customary to divide the troops and flee, at least this time, and the rest of the soldiers naturally did not raise objections, so they divided their forces again.

As soon as the Japanese troops in the back saw that the Chinese army had divided their forces again, they also had to divide their troops to pursue, but the platoon commander who was deliberately dragging at the end at this time suddenly fired a burst with the box gun in his hand, and attracted the pursuers behind him with close gunfire.

At this time, when the soldiers who had already divided their troops found that he had "fallen behind", it was too late to look back, and the platoon commander had already used up all the bullets in his box gun and pulled the grenade to die with the Japanese troops who surrounded him in order to cover them.

With his obstruction, the pursuing Japanese army finally temporarily lost the whereabouts of the small detachment, and the commander of the Japanese army hurriedly ordered a separate pursuit, while he himself led more than 30 soldiers to chase along a mountain trail.

When the Japanese commander led his men over a hill, he saw a small village of less than 100 households in the valley.

The Japanese commander had been chasing the squad of the battalion directly under him for some time, and naturally knew that the other side was only more than 30 people, and the other party had divided his troops, so he expected that the Chinese soldiers he was chasing in front of him would not exceed 10 at most.

Therefore, he was not afraid of any ambush, and with a wave of his hand, the Japanese army rushed towards the small village.
