Chapter 45: Repeating the Old Trick
"The first group retreats, the first group retreats" The old cat's call came from the walkie-talkie, and the leader of the first group of scouts, the barbarian, put away his rifle a little stupidly, pulled a few scouts in his group from the bushes where he was hiding, and ran towards the old cat's hiding point along the retreat road that had been left for a long time. As the best team of scouts in Yu Dazhi's hands, this time the task of rushing to the direction of the Maliang River to reconnoiter the movements of the Japanese army fell on the old cat again, which was already close to Madian, and the old cat had already found the traces of the Japanese search team.
According to the arrangement of the 37th Division of the Japanese Army, the Japanese search team that set off in front of the 225th Wing had the strength of a large group, and the 37th Division was a three-three division, and the 37 Search Wing under it was also a three-three formation, so the number of this search team that served as a top soldier was about 600 people. The 600-strong Japanese search team was divided into three waves and marched in squadrons, and even if it was divided into squadrons, such a number was not something that the old cats regretted.
"Let's go, go around, let's touch behind them" The old cat wrote down the reconnaissance information on a piece of paper and handed it to the operator who came out with the team, they were far away from the stone beach, and the walkie-talkie was not used at all, and the only way to contact Zhao Zhi was to use the transmitter. The retreating barbarians followed the old cat to make a big circle along the terrain, avoiding the Japanese search team coming from the direction of Yuncheng, their main task was to reconnoiter the number of personnel and weapons of the Japanese army, and these Japanese search teams could not fight.
"Why don't we beat them?" After moving to the top of the mountain, the warlike barbarian took his Garand and squinted at the old cat, hoping that the old cat would order the cleaning up of the Japanese soldiers who were leading the way. The old cat who was looking around with a telescope glared at the barbarian, these Japanese soldiers walking on the mountain road with probes were just a few sharp soldiers, and there were hundreds of Japanese soldiers behind them, and his scout team only had a dozen people.
The Japanese search team spread out more than 300 meters on both wings of the mountain road, carefully inspected the mountains and trees on both sides of the mountain road, and when leaving, there was also a squad of Japanese soldiers guarding the pass on the mountain road. "Damn, let you jump for a few days, and when you get to the stone beach, Guan Bao will let you not eat and can't leave" The young and vigorous Liuzi lay on the top of the mountain and spat hard at the bottom of the mountain, but was unexpectedly blown back by the headwind, which happened to make him face.
"Quietly you are out of the air" the old cat smiled and touched the handkerchief and threw it on the face of the six sons, although the six sons are not very old, not only smart and clever but also a good flying knife, the old cat is old, and the six sons are raised as sons. "Let's go, let's go" the old cat grabbed the six sons from the ground, and took the barbarians all the way down the mountain to the direction of Madian, where the Japanese 225 Wing must pass through, when the old cat set off from Zhangwu County, Zhao Zhi clearly ordered them to find out the situation of the Japanese army, as the Japanese army once garrisoned area, Madian naturally became the first choice of the old cat's reconnaissance location.
According to Zhao Zhi's calculations, the Japanese army's line head troops should have rushed to the Madian Railway Station now, and now it seems that he still overestimated the speed of the Japanese army's march. Zhao Zhi didn't pay attention to this brigade of Japanese search teams, all he was worried about was how to hide from these Japanese soldiers and prevent them from discovering the arrangements and traps on the rocky beach.
This Japanese search team, Zhao Zhi planned to let them pass through the stone beach, the infantry battalion of the Eighth Route Army should have rushed to Zhangwu County, Sun Jin, who had greatly increased his troops, was already straight at this time, and he was ashamed to send troops to support Zhao Zhi's side. Thinking that Sun Jin was in a panic when he stayed in the county seat, Zhao Zhi simply prepared to let this Japanese search team go, just to see how effective their Eighth Route Army was.
Taking advantage of Yan Wudao's efforts to dig trenches with the people, Zhao Zhi personally led people to bury the large-caliber cannonballs he brought deep in the tidal flats of the stone beach, and before dark, Yu Dazhi led the mercenaries to use the fresh shrubs that the people didn't know where to get them, and the original messy tidal flats were just like before. The wires that were twisted into a strand were pulled from the tidal flats on the other side of the river to the trench that Yan Wudao and they had dug up, and the wires were also buried deep in the ground.
"Let the machine guns be withdrawn to the county seat, there is no need for these here" Zhao Zhi stood on the trench, looking at the machine gun that Luo Ying was fiddling with, the ambush on the stone beach was just to reduce the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, slow down the Japanese army's journey, and win time for the construction of mountain fortifications in Zhangwu County, not to fight to the death for the Japanese army here, and the heavy machine guns were not conducive to retreating after the ambush. "After the trench is finished, just leave a few snipers to follow me, and the rest of you will withdraw to the county seat with the people of Banqiao, there is no need for such people here"
"That's not good, when Madam left, she told me to watch you, if I don't leave, I'll follow you" Luo Ying, who was lying on the ground fiddling with the machine gun, pouted, looking unhappy. When Luo Lin left, he did tell him to look at Zhao Zhi, but that meant not to let other women approach Zhao Zhi, and did not say that he should follow Zhao Zhi when he was fighting, Luo Ying was simply making excuses.
"I don't know how much benefit Luo Lin has given you, see the sky to help her say good things" Zhao Zhi pointed at Luo Ying and scolded with a smile, and looked around at Yu Dazhi and a few of them who were probing their brains, "There are still a few of you, can there be so many people left here?" Once the Japanese army goes crazy, the people who broke off the explosion point can only run for their lives, I said that your heads are full of tofu brains, don't think about it"
Zhao Zhi's reprimand made Yu Dazhi and several of them a little stupid, the last time they successfully ambushed the Japanese army at Stone Beach, one was that the Japanese puppet army last time was not many in number, and the other was the cooperation of tank armored vehicles and more than 20 light and heavy machine guns regardless of the number of shots. This time they came to Stone Beach, and the sharpest weapons in their hands were only submachine guns and sniper rifles, and it was indeed a fool's dream to rely on such weapons alone to cooperate with the bombs on Stone Beach to defeat the invading Japanese troops. Zhao Zhi arranged for the redundant people to withdraw first, and it was reasonable to arrive, but Yu Dazhi and none of them were willing to leave, so they would procrastinate and make excuses.
