Chapter 18: Repeating the Old Trick
Ten minutes later, Wang Sirui gasped slightly and came to the location where the large army was.
And after seeing Wang Sirui come back safely, Wang Shuqi and the others also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, there were more than 100 Japanese soldiers and nearly 200 Japanese soldiers, so if they were entangled by the Japanese army, how could there be any hope of survival?
And Wang Sirui is their backbone, once Wang Sirui has a mistake or something, then they don't have to continue to fight, just throw away the gun, take off the clothes and go home directly.
"Let's go, immediately return to the railway line, and we'll go to the Japanese baggage troops to do something." Wang Sirui didn't stop for much, and continued to walk back with the troops.
For Wang Sirui, time is of the essence, unless they don't want to go to trouble with the Japanese. Otherwise, you have to fight for every minute and every second.
The coalition forces dared to do this because they were confident enough. And then again, if the leader is not Wang Sirui, they will change someone casually, even if it is a few commanders of the new army today, they will definitely not dare to do this.
"My lord, ...... over there?" Cheng Jin hesitated.
He also saw the strength of the Japanese with his own eyes, and compared with last night, no, it should be the night before, the strength of the Japanese has obviously increased a lot.
If the Japanese in front of them were the same as those the night before, then Cheng Jin would definitely not have the slightest worry at this moment.
But the problem is that although these Japanese are a little tired, they are a new force after all, and their combat effectiveness is only higher than those Japanese troops the night before.
Although Wang Sirui had arranged for people to divert most of the Japanese troops, everyone knew that their reinforcements were not far behind.
Moreover, the reinforcements, after receiving a call for help from the front, will definitely speed up their march. At this time, maybe the Japanese reinforcements have arrived, so they are returning at this time, and there is a possibility that the whole army will be wiped out.
"The Japanese reinforcements are not so fast, Ma Sanru is ambushing people on the side of the road, and the person sent back by the Japanese to report the news has long been **** dead. If we are in a hurry, I guess we still have about two quarters of an hour. Wang Sirui replied with a cold face.
He doesn't like it when people question his decisions, and of course, no superior would like his subordinates to question his decisions.
Moreover, when this battle came to this, Wang Sirui's battle plan had long been changed many times. The initial battle plan had long been left behind by Wang Sirui.
At the beginning, Wang Sirui just wanted to lure the Japanese out little by little, and then annihilate them one by one. If possible, he wanted to annihilate the Japanese before they arrived to settle down, and at the same time destroy the supplies.
It's just that the Japanese made a nest, causing Wang Sirui to abandon this plan and focus on destroying materials instead.
"My lord, if we are bitten by Japanese reinforcements, we won't even have a chance to escape, please think twice!" Cheng Jin continued to plead.
"What do you mean by Cheng Jin? If you're scared, you can get out of here, don't fucking confuse the army's heart here. Wang Shuqi suddenly got up and said.
"What do I mean? What do I mean you don't know? Fighting, no problem, but we do what we can, but there are two battalions of reinforcements behind the Japanese, and we are returning at this time? What is that not looking for death? It's okay to let the brothers die on the real battlefield, but this kind of battlefield where you go to find the battlefield to die, let alone others, I, Cheng Jin, am the first to disagree. Cheng Jin retorted.
To be honest, Cheng Jin was a little reluctant to come to the trouble of the Japanese this time. But since Wang Sirui has already made a decision, as a subordinate, he naturally has no way to interfere with the decision of his superiors.
But now the battle situation is obviously not in favor of one's own side, if you still stupidly rush to find death at this time, what is the difference between it and the Boxers?
They had already done such a thing once before, and as a result, the team of four hundred people was only one hundred or so in the blink of an eye.
And Wang Sirui also generously let go of dozens of people, plus more than ten people who were injured the night before, there were only more than 30 of them left, just such a few people, do you dare to toss like this?
"Fighting a war is either you die or I live, what does it mean to find death? Did you die or did I die the night before? If I'm scared, I just say, I don't want to make so many crooked excuses for Lao Tzu, and what Lao Tzu is most unaccustomed to is your kind of goods. On weekdays, it looks like a twenty-five or eighty-thousand, and when it comes to business, it will go back. Wang Shuqi scolded.
Wang Shuqi is usually below, and his previous identity is hidden deep enough, so he knows more about the situation in the army than Wang Sirui.
Regarding what kind of goods some of the people below are, Wang Shuqi obviously knows more than Wang Sirui. Therefore, when Cheng Jin showed his timidity, Wang Shuqi was also instantly annoyed.
"That's it!" Wang Sirui looked at the two angrily, of course, more at Cheng Jin.
"Is this battle going to be fought? How to fight? It's up to me to fight, you have to fight if you want to, and you have to fight if you don't want to. What is the crime of escaping from the battlefield? I don't think I need to tell you this, do I? Wang Sirui threatened Cheng Jin, changed his tone, and continued: "Everyone who can stay is a brother of life and death, will I see you go to death with my own eyes?" We don't necessarily have to fight when we go back, this battle can be fought, and if it can't, it will be retreated, anyway, there will be a war to fight in the future. ”
Under the coercion and temptation of Wang Sirui's one-handed killing rod and lollipop with the other, Cheng Jin finally had no opinion. But this is only on the surface, in the same way, Wang Sirui can be regarded as seeing through Cheng Jin.
The team crossed the valley as fast as they could.
Although they were able to intercept the ghost soldiers who returned to report the news, they couldn't intercept the gunshots, especially at night. Once heard by reinforcements from behind, they will speed up their march even if they don't have to report it.
Therefore, Wang Sirui must rush to the scene as quickly as possible, and then decide whether to fight or not?
When Ikeda's team returned to the convoy and saw that it was safe and sound, they did not raise their vigilance, but symbolically ordered everyone to be vigilant and put on a defensive formation.
Although defensive measures had been taken, Ikeda was still a little skeptical: would they really come?
If they did come, wouldn't it be the best time for them to do it when their team wasn't there?
Admittedly, Ikeda was careless. After seeing that the convoy was safe and sound, Ikeda was convinced that there was absolutely no ambush here, and in order to be able to see the surrounding situation, Ikeda ordered the torches to be lit.
In his opinion, as long as there is a bright light, they will be able to see the situation in the vicinity clearly, and those enemies who sneak up will be discovered by them from afar.
When he saw the ambush position full of torches everywhere, Wang Sirui instantly had 10,000 grass and mud horses roaring past in his heart, and secretly said that this is too fucking talented, right?
Sighing secretly, the Japanese thought that this would be seamless, but in fact, in Wang Sirui's view, it was full of loopholes. "Squad Leader Wang, you lead the remaining soldiers of this squad and the second squad to go around to the opposite side, shoot at this side from a distance, attract as many Japanese soldiers as you can, and then take them around the neighborhood.
If the Japanese are not fooled, you will lie on the ground and shoot in this direction, always keeping a certain distance from the Japanese to distract them.
If it succeeds, you take the first squad of soldiers around with the Japanese, and the soldiers of the second squad come back by a detour, and when they hear that the gunfire has stopped, they immediately withdraw from the battle, and find a way to move north, and if they can't find us, go to the camp of the eldest son, where we will meet early tomorrow morning. ”
"Okay, don't worry, I'll give this task to ensure that it will be completed." Wang Shuqi nodded, luring the enemy army away, this is not a difficult task for Wang Shuqi to get up.
"Squad Leader Cheng, join me to ambush here, and after Squad Leader Wang lures the Japanese army away, we will be in a gang." Wang Sirui continued to command.
The Japanese have already been fooled once, and Wang Sirui does not expect to be fooled again this time, at least, a fireteam of five people can attract the attention of the Japanese.
And at that time, the twenty-two guns on their side will become the main force. As long as the Japanese don't rush up, Wang Sirui is sure to kill them.
Of course, if the Japanese rush up, it will be even better, and then they will continue to divide their troops and lure the Japanese away, and then Wang Sirui will personally lead people around and continue to attack his convoy.
Anyway, the enemy is clear and I am dark, this battle is not how Wang Sirui wants to fight?
Clearly, however, Wang overestimated Ikeda's IQ. The sudden sound of gunfire shattered the calm in the convoy, and Ikeda did not choose to send troops immediately, but after a little hesitation, he asked a military officer to lead ten soldiers to test it.
As a result, they were counterattacked by the opponent's powerful firepower, and this time the opponent did not rush to retreat. Similarly, Ikeda did not want to stay in a convoy and shoot at the enemy.
Because there is a huge ammunition depot next to him, what if that bullet that doesn't have long eyes hits the ammunition, and the ammunition is directly destroyed?
Then, after being violently counterattacked by the Japanese army, Ikeda directly ordered the entire army to attack.
Of course, the troops were divided into three routes, with the ten-man troops of the previous soldier Cao attracting the enemy's fire from the front, and the remaining thirty or so people went to outflank each other.
Ikeda hesitated to see the enemy fleeing, but decided to attack. Of course, Ikeda also knew that they would not attack too far, and that they would return as soon as there was any movement in the rear.
