311 Assault 5
The torrential rain passed, and the pouring rain finally turned into a misty drizzle, and within a radius of 100 miles near Baimaling, there were waterfalls, springs, and rivers gushing everywhere. The small streams continue to converge, and the rainwater, which still carries a bit of the atmosphere of the old forests in the deep mountains of the northeast, washes into the ravines. All of a sudden, the flowing water is worshipped, the river water is clear, its momentum is turbulent, and the stones in the ditch are bubbling and bubbling, and the momentum is huge.
Seeing that the Japanese troops on the mountain were ready to attack, Zhao Yun also got the latest news from the branch and the surrounding camp warriors. The entire Japanese contingent moved, except for the Japanese troops on both flanks of Shibata, the mobile units of the rest of the Japanese wing had also been mobilized, and they were rushing here, looking at their marching route, they just wanted to open a big pocket and eat Zhao Yunbu in one fell swoop.
When it was almost three o'clock, the Japanese wing headquarters on both flanks of the Shibata Wing received an urgent request for help from the Shibata Wing. For Shibata, who has always been known for his elite, it was the first time that he asked for help. So when they received the telegram, the two teams also confirmed again, because Shibata United is an elite and guards the location, so they didn't expect that this would become a breakthrough point for their opponents when they went down to Shibata and up to Takeuchi. After the confirmed telegram was replied, the Japanese army sent reinforcements in a hurry. However, at this time, Shibata had not only sent a request for help to the surrounding brother troops, but also Takeuchi had sent several telegrams in a row to report the situation at the scene.
Because he was worried that the Huaxia army would be a small surprise attack, "diverting the tiger from the mountain" and "attacking the west in the east", Takeuchi, who was very suspicious, also repeatedly confirmed that it was not until the artillery positions of the Shibata Wing were all ended, that Takeuchi ordered Shibata to break through the siege while ordering the five roads to be encircled, so as to preserve the establishment and number of the troops. In case an elite team is "gnawed" by the other party, no matter how much the other party pays, for Takeuchi, this "trip to China" will have no meaning.
The reinforcements that Zhao Yun was the first to detect were the Japanese troops who walked the mountain road and carried them into the ambush circle.
Zhao Yun stared at the curves representing the mountain roads on the map, his face was solemn, Shao Lao Er flipped through the pamphlet on the side, and said: "According to the information obtained by Lord Wang Huaiqing Wang, this wing is a newly formed wing of the Japanese, and the wing leader Gao Shan has been a captain for ten years before becoming the wing leader. After the fierce battle with the Jin Feng coalition army, the wing suffered some losses, and the number of soldiers was less than 3,000. It is worth noting that there was a squadron of cavalry organized into three squads, one hundred and fifty cavalrymen. The rest of the infantry is 1,000 and 5, the auxiliaries and servants are 1,000, and the total number of regular soldiers in the whole army is 2,000. This wing is mainly responsible for the supply of weapons and ammunition and medical assistance for the Huaxia Task Force in battle, so there are more auxiliary soldiers and servicemen. "Shao Lao Er only had a hint of a smile when he talked about the last one." Young master, you said before, there are 4,000 of us, there are mental calculations or unintentional, ambushes, and it is two to one, and we will win this battle. ”
Speaking of ambushes, not only Shao Lao Er, but also Zhao Yun showed a hint of please: "The Japanese sent this team, and it is estimated that they want two thousand soldiers to join up with Shibata and them first, and then use this as a "bait" to drag us down. As soon as we bite the hook, then the other teams they swarm will form a circle around us and eat us in one bite. If we don't bite the hook, then there are more than 2,000 Japanese troops fishing, and there are cavalry to cooperate, even if we can't win, it will not be a problem to entangle our army. Wait until the rest of the troops catch up, then destroy our main force, and then turn back to besiege the Jinfeng coalition army on the mountain. It's a pity that with this ambush circle, we can wipe out this support army of theirs! ”
"Young master, you are so relieved about the ambush circle, what place did you choose? The terrain of the ambush is so good? Can the Japanese see this? What if they don't go down this path? Shao Lao Er saw that Zhao Yun was full of confidence in the ambush site, and couldn't help but worry, if this is a dangerous place like the choice of two mountains and a line, it is not a problem to completely annihilate the Japanese, but this will have to be taken by the Japanese. If I don't take this path, then it is really possible that the battle situation will follow the Japanese script.
That's right, it is difficult for more than 2,000 Japanese troops to eliminate more than 10,000 camp samurai, but it is still possible to fight just a sabotage battle and rescue the Shibata Wing, which still has the strength to fight. Although the mountain battle was not good for Shibata, he could not invest too many troops at one time, but could only fight with Zhao Yun to consume. At the same time, the mountains also limited Zhao Yun's biggest advantage, the large number of people.
Although Zhao Yun led more than 10,000 warriors at this time, the twisting mountains also affected the samurai's encirclement.
Facing Shao Laoer's inquiry, Zhao Yun raised his head and smiled: "I chose this!" ”
"Here?!" Shao Lao Er's expression was full of emotion, "This....this is the valley!" A rare piece of open land in this area....", he couldn't go on anymore, and could only sigh at the four thousand samurai who went to block it.
What happened to the open ground? Zhao Yun came from the afterlife of the information explosion, he had never eaten pork and seen pigs run, and those "military observations" and the like also floated by occasionally. Although he used a samurai carrying cold weapons as "thugs" and barely lagged behind, Zhao Yun asked himself in his heart, what kind of weapons are still used to resist the invasion of foreign enemies? Of course, there is nothing to be desired, and it is not a camp unit that has not been completely reloaded, but this is the same as Takeuchi's idea, attacking Shibata is just the first step to eliminate the Japanese Huaxia Task Force, and it is a "bait". If it is too strong, it will directly scare the Japanese army away, and that will be more than worth the loss.
However, if you listen to it, it will be clear, and if you listen to it, it will be dark, Zhao Yun suppressed his temperament, and first listened to what Shao Lao Er said, but when he heard Shao Lao Er sigh for these four thousand soldiers and horses over and over, it seemed that he would definitely lose.
Zhao Yun had to cough twice, interrupting Shao Laoer's thoughts, and then sat down to the side, "Don't sigh in a hurry, look at the surrounding mountains." ”
After Zhao Yun reminded him, Shao Laoer's eyes lit up, "Could it be that the young master has arranged a large-scale artillery group near here, ready to bombard this group of rabbit cubs?" ”
"Uh...... This is also a good idea," Zhao Yun wanted to speak and stopped, and the artillery group carpet bombed? Wait, Shao Laoer, this old boy seems to have fought with the Japanese before, and eighty percent of them have been shelled by the Japanese! Otherwise, why haven't I seen him make such a ruthless move before? But this time Zhao Yun really didn't expect this trick, he was silent for a moment, and said with difficulty: "You think too much, the range of Napoleon's cannon seems to be a little out of reach." ”
"That's okay, don't we still have Lao Maozi's 76 field gun? Pull it over and fuck it! ”
"This... I didn't even have any artillery ready this time! ”
"What!" Shao Lao Er was speechless for a moment, in addition to artillery in his mind, what else could he do to kill these Japanese soldiers in one fell swoop?
"Hey, second child, you still have to study more in the future! In addition to fire, water can also kill? Zhao Yun laughed and pulled the confused Shao Lao Er to point around, "Come and see, the mountains around here have been rainy recently, and there is more rain on the mountains." So I had people build two stone walls in this area, where waterfalls are easy to form, to trap the water, and form a large dammed lake. As soon as the Japanese arrived, our men would blow up the stone wall, and the rest of it, you know......"
According to Zhao Yun's plan, the 4,000 samurai sent were to mend the sword, and they would not contact the enemy first, but would be responsible for monitoring and blowing up the wall, and in case of other circumstances, they would also ignore life and death, pounce on the Japanese army, and buy time for the elimination of the Shibata Wing. Their battlefield was basically set in a valley ten miles south of the Shibata Wing's station.
In order to ensure that the Japanese army must take this road, Zhao Yun also sent people to other mountain roads in advance to make a suspicious state of ambush.
The reason why it was chosen in the open area of the valley was due to the following two reasons: First, although this unit is a new wing, and it seems to be biased towards the baggage wing, the main combat strength still depends on those demobilized veterans, who will only have more survivability than new soldiers on the battlefield. And they are also dragging a large number of arms on the march, which is equivalent to dragging the arsenal forward. In terms of firepower, unless the musketeers who have changed their equipment come in groups, relying on the samurai who carry machetes and axes alone is completely dead. In addition, before, when cleaning up the reconnaissance teams sent by the Japanese army, Zhao Yun's samurai and the Boar Legion fought with them, and found that all of them were hard stubble, no worse than Shibata's team, plus the newly built wing composed of demobilized soldiers of Shibata Wing, before the war, Zhao Yun even had the illusion that there were three elite Japanese troops stationed nearby. When encountering a suspected ambush, the Japanese army sent a large number of small detachments to reconnoiter many times before moving forward, from the fact that they only sent 300 people to the road, and the brigade slowly followed up, it can be seen that Gao Shan is a very cautious guy. Unlike the Shibata demobilization unit, he didn't rush in as soon as he heard that the Shibata wing was in trouble. Strong strength and cautiousness are Zhao Yun's evaluation of them. 2. The plan of the Japanese army Takeuchi was to use an army as "bait". Catch Zhao Yunjun on the predetermined battlefield. And this army, which is the "bait", of course, cannot be stronger than the enemy army. That is to say, to show the enemy weakness. And this "weakness" must be outwardly weak. Otherwise, if you don't rescue the Shibata Wing and join another Wing, then whether Takeuchi can continue to be the commander of this task force is still two words! In this way, the Alpine Wing, which is biased towards the baggage troops, is undoubtedly the most suitable for the requirements. At the same time, in order to make a full set of plays, this "bait" did not only bring arms, but really carried a large number of horse-drawn carriages and mules and horses carrying goods to march together, so that some difficult mountain roads were directly abandoned by Zhao Yun, and a valley with a good walk and a wide vision was chosen to ambush.
