Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Night Banquet Section 4 Junction
In the battle of Hekou Village, Shimizu Daisa has been pondering on the way to be carried and transferred, and the forward base heavily defended by the Eighth Route has been exploited so easily, where is the problem?
Before dawn, after the team arrived at the designated location of the Tubalu surnamed Yang, Shimizu Daizo finally figured it out.
Qing Shui thinks that the Japanese are too real, in fact, according to the Chinese, it is not real, it is a little lacking in heart, thinking that if they occupy other people's territory and build a few artillery towers and bunkers, the Chinese will not be able to attack it.
I don't have as many cannons as you, I don't have as many bullets as your machine gun, but I don't have more eyes than you! It's not okay to attack head-on, it's always okay to change skins and blend into your stronghold.
Can I keep it for you if I get in? If you look at the battles you saw them fight along the way along the Eighth Road, there were basically no strong attacks, they were all trying to find ways to find the weak points of the Japanese army and the places that were easy to be overlooked.
Shimizu also found that the combat rules and operational ideas of the Eighth Route were indeed different from those of the Japanese army, and they were too bad! According to common sense, there are only a few sets of military combat modes on this earth, what British, German, American, and what infantry artillery combined with air and ground integration, these clear waters are too clear.
But you said that the Eighth Route Army had nothing to offer, there were almost no artillery, and the planes didn't even take advantage of a single screw, but they could just turn the Japanese army that had been cultivated by various modern military ideas around.
The artillery is gone, not to mention thousands of planes, hundreds can still be concentrated, and even the equipment carried by an ordinary infantry can't be compared to the Eighth Road, but it dares to fight guerrilla warfare with your position.
After a few days, Qing Shui understood. The way to deal with the eight roads in the past is not good. This is not the method that can be effective when the Northeast fights the Anti-Japanese League. The boundary in the northeast is said to be more than a hundred years ago, there are big forests everywhere, there are no people, and the number of people is that it was developed in the last years of the Qing Dynasty when they went to the east to escape the famine.
But since the two emperors of Yan and Huang in North China, there have been people everywhere, don't look at the poor ravines and ravines, not to mention hundreds of years! The Japanese army relied too much on logistical supplies and left the road line. The time of the sweep is calculated based on the maximum amount of supplies carried, more than ten days and half a month, less than three or five or seven days, you have to retreat, such a sweeping method is useless!
So when you look at the Eighth Road coming out of Kawaguchi Town, you basically don't need to carry any supplies, you just go all the way to make up for the road, a team of more than 100 people, just find a mountain village, and the villagers will take care of the food. It's like your own home!
It's like the Japanese army, launch a big sweep. There are more troops on the front lines of communication and supply than on the front lines! The Japanese army could not learn the tactics of attacking from all sides with small units of troops on the Eighth Road! It's not that your own land is not good!
And Shimizu Daisa found that the ideology of the entire empire towards China and the Chinese people was also flawed, thinking that as long as they occupied large and medium-sized cities and transportation routes, the Chinese would automatically submit, which was very wrong!
Japan is a small place, in the past, a daimyo built a city, and all the people around listened to the lord who lived in the city, as long as the lord was defeated and the city was occupied, everyone around the city had to listen to the new master.
Move this set to China, it won't work! The Chinese place is too big! It's a bird in the city! Don't look at the rich people who are officials live in the city, only those who can manage it directly can listen to him, and the places that can't be seen by the eyes are far away! 90% of the population is in the countryside, who pees you don't occupy the city.
It was by taking advantage of this characteristic that the Eighth Route occupied the mountainous areas and rural areas far from the city, so that it could reach a draw with the Japanese army.
Qing Shui thought all the way, and has been thinking about how to find a new way to deal with the Eighth Road, if there is a chance to escape, he must report to General Gangcun and come up with some feasible plan to completely solve the problem in North China.
His Royal Highness has experienced such a tragicomedy on the hillside that he guessed the beginning but did not guess the end, and his spirit has become a little weak, and he has also found that he has problems in the way he used to look at China and the Chinese, and he has always viewed the holy war that Japan had to launch with the attitude of annexing the ignorant and backward China to a civilized and civilized Japan.
China is about to be squeezed dry by the United States and Britain and other Western countries, and if the Yamato nation does not help these poor Chinese, East Asia will really become a hunting ground for the West.
But after a few days, he found that he was thinking a little too much, there were too many capable people in the Eight Roads! A person in tattered clothes who looks no different from a big smoker, as soon as he puts on the uniform of the Japanese army, he can immediately bluff those officers of the imperial army one by one, not to mention them, even if the prince himself didn't know in advance, he would have to believe that this is the son of a family in Kyoto!
Look at what the soldiers of the Imperial Army did to the Chinese under the banner of rescuing the Chinese from the crisis of British and American colonization? Burn other people's houses, rob other people's already small property, spoil other people's women, and cut off people's heads!
What is the meaning of this holy war, this is not to rescue the savior at all, this is just a group of beasts more inhuman than bandits running to the land of Chinese to do evil.
They were also tied to sticks and carried on the road, and the prince and Shimizu Daisa went one after the other, and their ideas were very different, one thinking about the justice and injustice of this war, and the other thinking about summing up and finding a new way to defeat the eight roads.
In fact, there is another person who thinks differently from them, Yang Bangzi thinks that this devil's supply line has been smashed twice, and now whether it is Shunping and Baoding, the rear of the Japanese army must have been shaken, and the devil sweeping troops in Xiangshang in the northeast must have been alarmed, he is really a little uncertain, is it a blessing or a curse for Guojiabaozi?
According to the information that the old blind man got from the devil's night banquet, Guojiabaozi was still struggling to support and was not captured by the devil, although the devil said that taking this cottage was just around the corner, Yang Bangzi judged that if it was so easy to be attacked, the devils would not stay on the line from Xiwangzhuang to Hekou Village.
So when he watched the fire in the village below on the slope of Hekou Village, he wanted to take a gamble, and the gambler mistakenly thought that the large army of our Eighth Route was back, and he wanted to fight them on this line.
In this way, the battle line of the devil surrounding Guojiabao on all sides may reveal the gaps, so that he can jump into the encirclement with people.
After leaving Hekou Village, Yang Bangzi ordered the team to march westward for a while, and after walking about ten miles, they crossed two mountain beams, and immediately followed the mountain again, and the team turned to march in a northeast direction.
The Japanese army's mountain front advanced westward from Hekou Village to Xiwangzhuang, northward through Shangxiahetan Village, occupied the large and small ridges on the west side of Guojiabaozi, and extended to the southeast side of Huataling, forming a joint encirclement of the mountain area west of Mancheng with the clearing troops of the northern line.
And Yang Bangzi let the troops go around in a circle, bypassing Shangxiahetan Village, and did not break north from Hekou Village to the Japanese army's battle line to break into the encirclement, he had another heart, in addition to destroying the supply line of the Japanese army on the southern front, Yang Bangzi also wanted to find the intersection of the Japanese army on the north and south lines.
In fact, the most easily broken encirclement of the two forces is this confluence, which is often the end of the supply line, the farthest point from the supply base, and the most fatigued of all the participating troops, and the mental pressure that needs to be borne is also the greatest.
If you can break through the encirclement of the devils here, it will be a fatal blow to the entire Japanese army's encirclement and suppression operations!
Now that their whereabouts have been exposed, the wounded Japanese soldiers and military doctors who let them go will inevitably report some of the situation of their troops to the troops who came to the rescue, so they must find this junction in the shortest possible time!
Before dawn, the team arrived in the ravine south of Liugezhuang, there were no villagers in this area for more than half a year, and since the spring of 41, the Sixth Division has evacuated most of the villagers from more than ten villages in the vicinity to the west of Huataling to resettle, and the flood at the end of August has washed away several villages near Liugezhuang.
Yang Bangzi saw that the sky was almost dawn, and ordered the team to rest in the ravine, and he took Xiao Liangzi to climb the cliff to reconnoiter the enemy. (To be continued......)
