Xu Shijiu is still a little overwhelmed.

As soon as the two sides exchanged fire, Xu Shijiu knew that his estimate of the war was a little too optimistic, and after the last expansion of the army, although the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese Salvation Army received more than three months of hard training, it did not experience the baptism of actual combat.

Many recruits are stunned as soon as they enter the battlefield, and they are already extremely proficient in tactical movements during ordinary training, and at this time they forget all about it, the commander tells them to lie down, they pestle there, the commander lets them shoot, they pestle there, the commander lets them charge, they still pestle there, and they can't play at the level of fifty percent of the usual training.

Except for the 4th Regiment, which was left as a reserve, the offensive of the L Regiment, the Regiment, and the 3rd Regiment were all frustrated, and in less than half an hour, the three main battalions that were responsible for the main attack were basically disabled.

The Japanese troops who swept into the mountains this time were only third-rate garrisons, not to mention that they could not be compared with the 17 permanent divisions and regiments, and compared with the dozens of ad hoc divisions and regiments formed in the early days of the Sino-Japanese War, most of the soldiers of these garrisons were reserve forces, and many of them were still soldiers in the countryside who had been retired for many years, and their military quality had seriously deteriorated, and their fighting will was far from being comparable with that of young people.

However, these local garrisons have participated in actual combat, and they have extremely rich combat experience

On the other hand, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, not to mention those who had joined the army for less than half a year, even many grassroots officers were stunned, and as soon as the battle began, it was completely chaotic.

Gao Shenxing put down the binoculars, his face was already showing a trace of anxiety, and said to Xu Shijiu: "Old Xu, the situation is not good, this casualty is a bit big, and it has affected morale." ”

Casualties will affect morale, in the final analysis, people are living creatures and not machines, and no matter how determined a person is, when he sees his comrades-in-arms who have just been alive dying in front of his eyes, and when he sees the severed limbs and blood stains all over the ground, he will inevitably waver, and as soon as his will is shaken, the morale of the officers and men will immediately come down.

At this point, the morale of the troops is clearly not as high as it was at the beginning.

If this situation is allowed to continue, morale is likely to collapse.

"Pass my order, each regiment will leave a company to be responsible for the feint, and the main force will retreat five miles to rest" Xu Jiu also felt that this situation could not continue, so he decisively issued an order, "Little Japan, this stupid cow is quite stubborn, it has come to this point, and it can still struggle to make such a big move, but it's okay, we have time to play with it." ”

Ito Shigeru found that the intensity of the attacks of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui had decreased significantly.

"Haha, the people of China are no good" Ito Shigeru suddenly became excited, turned his head and yelled at Noguchi Takayuki, "Noguchi-san, what did I just say, the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is just a group of rabble, they can't parry it, ha, order, all squadrons immediately turn to the counteroffensive, give me to kill them, kill them"

(Dividing Line)

"Old Xu, little Japan has turned to a counterattack," Gao Shenxing turned his head and yelled at Xu Nineteen.

"I see it, let's counterattack." Xu Shijiu put down the binoculars, turned his head and instructed the black blind man, "Pass my order, all regiments and battalions will retreat in great strides, and lead little Japan to the deep mountains, I want to see if little Japan dares to divide its troops, hum"

"Yes." The black blind man suddenly responded, turned around to convey the order, and said again, "Old Xu, little Japan is not stupid, I'm afraid I won't be fooled." ”

If you want to talk about the familiarity with the terrain in the mountains, the little Japanese can't beat the horses and can't match the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui.

If Little Japan really dares to divide its troops and pursue them deep into the mountains, then the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will be able to bite them to death bite by bite, and in the final analysis, the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army also has a small 2,000 men and horses, and it is more than enough to eat a small Japanese brigade and a squadron of Little Japan.

The Japanese army's familiarity with the terrain was still not as good as that of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui.

Therefore, the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui retreated in a big step, and the Japanese army was blinded.

Seeing that the Japanese army's position was expanding larger and larger, and the battle line was getting longer and longer, Noguchi Takayuki quickly realized that something was wrong, turned to Ito Shigeru and said: "Ito-san, you can't pursue anymore, the imperial army is not familiar with the terrain here, and if you pursue it further into the mountains, it is very likely that you will be divided and surrounded by the Chinese army in turn, and you will be passive at that time."

Although Ito Shigeru is arrogant, he is not stupid, and he also sees the hidden dangers.

At that moment, Ito Shigeru nodded and instructed the adjutant: "Order, all squadrons stop pursuing." ”

Gao Shenxing put down the binoculars and said to Xu Shijiu: "Old Xu, what am I talking about, little Japan is not so stupid." ”

"Hmph, little Japan is not stupid, but it is not smart either." Xu Shijiu snorted lightly, and then ordered the black blind man, "Pass my order, all regiments and battalions immediately turn to the counteroffensive, bite the little Japanese ass and beat me to death, if the little Japanese turn around to meet the attack, then immediately turn around and retreat, never fall in love with the battle, go quickly"

"Yes." The black blind man hurriedly took his orders.

Gao Shenxing looked at Xu Shijiu and asked, "Old Xu, where are you singing?" ”

"Where?" Xu Shijiu smiled and said, "Shangwen's sixteen-character policy, how do you say it?" ”

"The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase, and besides, this is not what Shang Wen said, it was said by Mao Zedong, the leader of their Communist Party." Gao Shen said, "I heard that this Mao Zedong is amazing, he is a character, the Red Army was at the end of its way in Guizhou, but as soon as he came to power, he immediately came to cross the Chishui four times, how powerful is Xue Yue?" was all dizzy by him, the Zuihou Red Army had entered Sichuan, and he also led the Central Army to Guiyang to chase. ”

Xu 19 said with a smile: "I only take the eight characters in it, that is, the enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and I chase, but it is not enough image, our way of playing is more like a blunt knife to cut meat, although there is not much meat under each knife, but the number of times it can be cut is more, and it is enough for little Japan to drink a pot, if little Japan doesn't know what to do, they will feel good when the time comes."

"Yaga Yaru, these damn Shina pigs" Shigeru Ito put down his binoculars, his eyes almost spewing fire.

What kind of tactic is the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui? As soon as the Japanese army attacked, they immediately scattered as birds and beasts, ran into the deep mountains and old forests and disappeared without a trace, but as soon as the Japanese army turned around and retreated, the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui would immediately come out of all corners, and then gather together to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese army.

The Japanese army turned around and launched a counteroffensive again, and the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui was scattered again.

After several repetitions, the Japanese army was a little at a loss, unable to advance, unable to retreat, so they could only passively hold on to the position, bearing the piecemeal attacks of the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui, although this kind of piecemeal attack, although not terrible, but extremely annoying, disturbing people upset and impetuous.

Takayuki Noguchi had already realized that the situation was not good, and advised Shigeru Ito: "Ito-san, retreat quickly." ”

"Retreat, no, I will never" Ito Shigeru still refused to give up, and said in a cruel voice, "If the people of China think that they can block the attack of the Imperial Army by means of this kind of rogue tactics, then they are wrong, and they order, with the L Squadron as the lead and the cavalry as the rearguard, to chase me in the southwest direction, and eat the China Army in this direction first." ”

Ito Shigeru still has some level, knowing that it is not a way to be beaten passively in this way, and must fight back decisively, but it cannot be counterattacked on all sides, after all, the Japanese army is still at an obvious disadvantage in terms of strength, and if it blooms on all sides and counterattacks on all fronts, it is very likely to be divided and surrounded by the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui.

But if you choose one of them and fight back with all your might, you don't have to worry about that.

The Japanese army was huddled together, and the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui really couldn't swallow it.

"Lao Xu, Little Japan has concentrated all its efforts to hunt down the L regiment." Be cautious.

"It's a bit interesting, it seems that the commander of the little Japan on the other side is still a little level." Xu Shijiu nodded, and said, "But after all, this is in the territory of China, and it is even more in Erlong Mountain, little Japan wants to bite and eat us all the way, it is too naïve to think about it, and little Japan will soon regret it." ”

After a pause, Xu 19 instructed the black blind man again: "Heizi, pass on my order, the L regiment doesn't have to take care of anything, spread my legs for me, run in the direction of the black dragon's mouth, and the rest of the regiments and battalions will stick to me, attack from both wings and behind, don't let little Japan have a moment of peace." ”
