653: Captured
The tactics adopted by Feng Sixi is to encircle four and fight three, this tactic is actually very ancient, and has appeared in the art of war in the Chinese dynasties, and the most famous is the Yuan Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty was able to fight to Europe, and its practical tactics were only two, encircling three and fighting three, and slaughtering the city.

Because the Yuan Dynasty was all cavalry troops back then, and they had an absolute advantage in speed, there was no need for them to surround four or three, which would waste more troops.
Therefore, the people of the Yuan Dynasty always liked to leave one side and not fight, so that the people in the city would not feel hopeless, so that they would resist or have the attitude of dying with the enemy. And leaving one side for them, this actually gives them hope for life, so that they always retain a trace of possibility in their hearts, let them know that they are not in a desperate situation, so that they will not be so tenacious when resisting.
And when the people in the city find that they really can't resist the enemy, they will flee from the city from the side that remains. And at this time, the far superior cavalry played a huge role.
In front of the cavalry, any infantry is vulnerable, although the Yuejia army is fierce, and is not afraid of the cavalry of the Jin people, but after all, it is only a minority, and it is not suitable for most infantry to fight.
The fleeing infantry is even less of a match for the cavalry, at this time the cavalry is as if they are in a no-man's land, raising their scimitars and slaughtering frantically, while the infantry who have lost their fortifications, plus they are fleeing for their lives, cannot form effective resistance at all.
The other is the slaughter of the city, to put it bluntly, the people of the Yuan Dynasty hope to use this way to scare the enemy, make them give up resistance from the bottom of their hearts, and give them the illusion that as long as they do not resist, the Yuan army will not slaughter the city.
Now Feng Sixi is also using this trick, but because the troop mobility is insufficient, he can't use the tactics of encircling three and fighting three, so he can only arrange a team of ambush soldiers on the other side in advance, and wait for the Japanese to flee for their lives.
The mortar didn't come in handy this time, and although it was quite aggressive, it was unknown how much of that material would be left once it was used.
But even if the mortars did not come in handy, the machine gun and rifle fire alone was still difficult for the Japanese to bear, and in just a few minutes of contact, the Japanese army began to rout.
The heavy troops were equipped with only one-third of the weapons, plus a squadron of infantry, adding up to less than 300 guns, without any heavy firepower, relying only on 300 rifles to resist the strength of a company of Chinese, the Japanese had no chance of winning.
In addition, there are several snipers on Feng Sixi's side who ambush important personnel who specifically pick the Japanese army to attack, and these Japanese troops are also soldiers who are confused by the Japanese high-level, they do not know in advance how strong the Chinese are, the Japanese government only tells them that the Chinese are not terrible, the previous defeat is only the problem of the commander, they did not make the correct command, so they let the Chinese take advantage of the loophole, and the Chinese also won the victory with absolute superiority.
The Japanese government is certainly doing this to encourage the Japanese military and make them no longer have the intention of being afraid of war, but in reality? The Japanese soldiers have indeed become self-confident, but they have become blindly confident, they have not realized the gap between the enemy and us from the bottom of their hearts, and if they go to the battlefield with such a mentality, they will inevitably suffer a painful lesson.
This point, the Japanese government is the same as the practice during World War II in history, all bad things are not allowed to be sent back to China, including letters written by the Japanese army to their families, on which no negative news about the war is allowed, if you write that you killed a regiment of the enemy with a small team, how heroic the battle was, how vulnerable the enemy was, these are naturally no problem, but if you say that the enemy defeated us with twice the force, sorry, the letter is rewritten, More serious ones will even deprive you of the opportunity to write this letter.
After the Meiji Restoration in Japan, its fundamental ideas have almost been determined, and the Japanese army during World War II in history basically continued some styles of the Meiji period.
Several Japanese soldiers who had no way to retreat hid on the side of the vehicle, and although they had been shot several times, they were not hit because of the shelter of the carriage.
These Japanese troops were not equipped with grenades, so it was impossible for them to blow up these supplies. It was possible to burn it with fire, but it was a rainy day, and they couldn't even light a fire, so this trick naturally didn't work.
The wounded Japanese soldiers once again acted as bosses, leaning on the wheels of the carriage, motionless, pretending to be corpses, but the rifles in their hands still maintained a fighting posture, and they wanted to give the illusion that they had died in battle.
However, the Chinese, who have suffered numerous losses, do not believe in the Japanese at all, but whenever they see the corpse of a suspected Japanese soldier, whether they are really dead or not, the first thing they have to do is definitely to aim a rifle at your head and pull the trigger fiercely, they don't even bother to use a bayonet, what if you have a grenade in your hand?
Those Japanese soldiers who were wounded and still wanted to exert their last residual heat did not succeed in the end, and the Chinese perfectly captured all the supplies of the Japanese and annihilated all the Japanese troops.
In this battle, a total of 533 Japanese troops were annihilated, and 104 vehicles were captured, four of which were loaded with a large amount of Japanese Type 30 rifle ammunition and Type 38 rifle ammunition, and there were no rifles on the vehicles. The remaining 100 truckloads are wheat that has not yet been fully dried, and it is almost certain that it comes from the new wheat harvested this summer.
There were seven or eight bags of wheat on each cart, about four or five hundred catties. A hundred carts, about forty or fifty thousand catties of wheat.
This is obviously exceeded, according to the normal capacity, a pack horse in addition to the weight of the carriage, basically is to pull a cargo of about 200 catties is almost, even if the four-wheeled carriage is used, the burden of the horse can be reduced to the greatest extent, but if the weight is doubled, the pack horse will not be crushed to death, but it will become extremely difficult to drive normally.
Perhaps this is the reason why the Japanese army had traveled less than two kilometers in half an hour, and this was with an average of five people in a carriage, which would have been slightly better in normal weather.
grabbed the supplies of the Japanese army, but the soldiers were not too happy, because this is unprocessed wheat, and this is the battlefield, and the cooking class does not have enough time and energy to process it, so the only thing that can be determined is that in order to reduce the logistical burden, the next cooking class is likely to throw the wheat directly into the pot, just like cooking rice porridge in a pot.
Because the wheat has a very thick skin, and the surface of the wheat at this time has basically hardened, although the Japanese wheat is harvested in advance and has not reached the best maturity period, but after so many days of drying, its hardness is not much worse.
Although you can guarantee that you won't go hungry, it's not easy to digest if you eat too much, and for a warrior, not digest? What the hell is this meowing? Are you, a person who exercises dozens of kilometers every day, tell people about whether you eat it or not? Excuse me?
And the only thing to be thankful for is that because of the rapid firepower just now, all the brutes of the one hundred and four vehicles of the Japanese have been killed. So, they can have a good meal of meat next, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
By the time the two companies that had arrived at the battlefield had arrived at the battlefield, the battle had already ended, and the meat had not been eaten or the soup had been drunk.
Three companies of troops quickly cleaned up the battlefield, clearing the corpses so as not to block the road, and staying as far away as possible to prevent the outbreak of the plague from affecting the passing troops.
Pack up the weapons and equipment of the Japanese army, still burn them, and then stay here, waiting for the follow-up large troops to come and receive these grains.
Before coming to Japan, everyone thought about how dangerous it would be, but when they arrived, they suddenly realized that it was not the case at all.
The rain in the sky gradually stopped, and the soldiers began to take off their raincoats in twos and threes, cleaned up a little, and stuffed them directly into their backpacks, regardless of whether there were still water droplets on them.
The large army arrived here half an hour later, received the captured materials, and sent another company to replace Feng Sixi's company as the vanguard reconnaissance company, while Feng Sixi's troops returned to the formation and acted with the large army.
And Feng Sixi was also happy to do it, he killed five squadrons of devils in just one and a half hours in a row, and this battle achievement can be regarded as one of the best, at this time, he will not continue to be stupid to ask for battle, so that other comrades-in-arms will despise him.
For a while, Feng Sixi was constantly humming a little song in his mouth, not to mention the smugness on his face, and the people from the other companies next to him were even more jealous.
However, as the commander of the 51st Division, Hua Chunyong fell into silence very abnormally after learning the news that 40,000 or 50,000 catties of grain had been seized in front of him.
There is no doubt that the Japanese have already harvested the grain in advance, and the 51st Division has not found much grain along the way, so it is suspected that the Japanese may have moved all the grain to the barracks or other unknown places.
So before, Hua Chunyong didn't care too much about this matter, but now, where did the forty or fifty thousand catties of grain come from? Along the way, they hardly saw any men in the prime of life, saying that it was impossible for the grain to be harvested, and they did not see the granary.
But this grain came out from the direction they came, so where is this grain hidden?
