Chapter 432 It’s Quiet Now
Yuan Shuai pointed at the map and said.
"The Japanese here have a baggage train squadron and a Japanese regiment, and also a puppet army corps! The total number is estimated to be more than 4,000! The team carries a large number of light and heavy machine guns, infantry guns, mortars..."
Before Yuan Shuai finished speaking, Dou Jiande couldn't help but exclaimed.
"With so many people, their military strength is more than twice ours. This battle will be difficult to fight!"
"Don't interrupt, let Yuan Shuai finish!"
Xiao Liangcai glared at him fiercely and told him to shut up.
Yuan Shuai's bayonet slashed on the ground towards the left wing.
"This is the county town. We don't know whether the Japanese have taken the county town, but at least, there are definitely Japanese in this direction, and they are Yamazaki Shota's brigade! Once we open fire here, the Yamazaki Brigade will definitely come to support us quickly! Therefore, we must arrange people here to block the Yamazaki Brigade! Make sure we have enough time to capture the Japanese baggage train!"
Hearing this, everyone gritted their teeth with a serious expression and said nothing.
Marshal Yuan then slashed his bayonet towards the right wing.
"Here, there is another Japanese troop, carrying a large number of tanks, field artillery, and even 105mm howitzers..."
"105mm howitzer!?"
Everyone was shocked, but only Dou Jiande spoke out what was in his heart.
Then he shook his head repeatedly.
"General Yuan, we can't fight this battle. The enemy's Yamazaki Brigade is in front of us. We don't know how many people are left in the Yamazaki Brigade. If their number is over 105, how many people can we allocate to block the enemy? And how long can we hold off the enemy? In addition, the troops behind us have tanks, artillery, and Type mm cannons. This team is at least at the brigade level! The number of people is at least over ! It may even be over !"
"How many people can we spare to fight and how long can we hold off the Japanese? So, I suggest giving up and moving immediately before the Japanese know we are out! We are a collective now. Since we are holding a meeting, we should seek advice from all officers. The minority shall obey the majority and vote by raising hands! I suggest a quick evacuation!"
After saying this, he immediately raised his right hand and winked at the team leader beside him.
Unfortunately, after these team leaders looked at each other, none of them raised their hands.
No one on the national army side raised their hands.
Because Yuan Shuai hadn't finished speaking yet.
They didn't want to give up this opportunity either.
Even if they couldn't get the baggage train, as long as they destroyed it, they could slow down the Japanese's attack speed.
The national army commander Fu Hongfei said to Yuan Shuai.
"You continue first!"
"Why should we continue? This war is impossible to fight. We should move away and fight guerrilla warfare against the devils!"
Dou Jiande shouted again.
"If you don't want to fight, just get out!"
Before Yuan Shuai could say anything, Hu Dacai couldn't help but shout at him.
"Me! Captain! You must express your opinion when the time comes! This war cannot be fought at all! Once the war starts, all of us here will die!"
Dou Jiande looked at Xiao Liangcai anxiously.
"Shut up! I told you not to interrupt. You always interrupt. Yuan Shuai is the top leader of our team now. We must first understand Yuan Shuai's plan!"
"..."
Dou Jiande was so angry that he put his hands on his hips and remained speechless for a long time.
Xiao Liangcai said to Yuan Shuai.
"Yuan Shuai, ignore him and continue!"
Yuan Shuai ignored Dou Jiande and continued.
"The devils in the rear could be a brigade, a division or even a detachment! I know this battle will be difficult! But if we win, the Yamazaki Brigade will lose its weapons and ammunition supplies. They have been fighting for so long, they must be short of supplies! Even if we can't get the supplies from the baggage train, even if we blow up these convoys, the damn Yamazaki Brigade will slow down its advance due to the lack of ammunition and supplies!"
"Also, according to the map, the county town is more than 30 kilometers away from us. If Yamazaki has entered the county town, he is more than 30 kilometers away from us. If he is outside the city, he is at least 20 kilometers away from us! Even if they bring field artillery to support us, it will take at least two hours before they can open fire! We just need to leave real and fake minefields on the way to delay time. Without blocking them, we can delay them for at least an hour! Then we have three hours!"
"As for the Japs behind us, they are only fifteen kilometers away from us!"
At this time, Dou Jiande couldn't hold back his words and said in surprise.
"Fifteen kilometers?! So close, and they are carrying a 105mm howitzer, a Type 10.5 howitzer with a maximum range of kilometers. As long as they advance five kilometers, they can carry out a long-range bombing on us! Then we will..."
"If you say one more word, I'll seal your mouth!"
Xiao Liangcai couldn't hold it back any longer and cursed at him in a low voice.
"I, I'm talking about the actual situation. Suggestions should be made during a meeting! And you can't joke with the lives of your brothers!"
Dou Jiande also got angry and refuted directly.
"You guys take him away!"
Xiao Liangcai shouted at the little boy.
"I won't leave. I'm the vice-captain. I have the right to attend the meeting! I..."
Dou Jiande wanted to say something, but Fu Yidao rushed over and knocked him unconscious with a palm strike.
The little boy quickly hugged Dou Jiande.
"Like a woman, I don't have as good a temper as the boss!"
"It's quiet now, Boss Yuan, please continue!"
Many officers around him gave him a thumbs-up.
Yuan Shuai couldn't help but give him a thumbs up and continued.
"Although the Japs have 105mm howitzers with a maximum range of 10.5 kilometers, if they want to bomb accurately, they must have an artillery observer in front! Otherwise, it's so dark, even if the dog has night vision, it can't see through 10.5 kilometers! Moreover, I have carefully surveyed the road. There is only one road here. There is a river next to the road about three kilometers in front of the Japs camp. As long as we blow up this road, hehe!"
After saying this, Yuan Shuai's lips curled up into a smug, evil smile.
"Damn, this is a good plan. As long as we blow up the road, the Japanese tanks won't be able to get through!"
"That's right. There's only one road. The Japanese tanks can't get through. Even if the Japanese 105mm cannons are dismantled and carried through the forest by mules and horses, it will still take a lot of time!"
"We just need to bury mines in the woods or on the road. Hehe! We can kill some Japanese soldiers and delay time!"
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
"General Yuan, you are worthy of being the leader of the Black Wolf Army. This method is indeed brilliant!"
Fu Yidao and several other National Army officers laughed cheerfully, and even gave Yuan Shuai a thumbs-up.
Even Xiao Liangcai couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"That's a good idea, General Yuan. Stop talking nonsense and give the order quickly. We guerrillas will listen to you!"
"Aren't you going to vote by raising your hands? I dare not touch your guerrilla troops!"
Yuan Shuai looked at him with a smile.
