Chapter 406 Yuan Shuai ran away
Not only that, all the gunfire from the surrounding Eighth Route Army and Black Wolf Army had ceased.
The Japanese felt something was wrong and quickly ceased firing.
For a moment, all the sounds of gunfire disappeared, leaving only the wounded Japanese soldiers lying on the ground wailing in pain.
The other Japanese soldiers lay on the ground, gasping for breath, secretly thanking their lucky stars that the guerrillas had ceased firing.
Otherwise, if they continue fighting like this, I'm afraid they will be completely wiped out.
The Japanese regiment commander couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Bagayalu, damn guerrillas, they always fight and then run away, Baga!"
"Gather everyone here for a head count. Don't disperse any more. Once you disperse, you will be defeated one by one by the guerrillas!"
The order was given, and the Japanese soldiers around here quickly moved towards him, and then began to set up defensive positions around him to prevent guerrilla attacks!
But after counting the number of people, they found that the battle had caused more than 500 casualties.
Now they only have more than 1,500 people left, many of whom are wounded.
More than two hundred of them stayed on the hillside where they had set up an ambush.
And a small number of these devils turned into corpses.
Many of the injured Japanese soldiers were choked by the pepper bombs and could not see the road clearly, so they could not follow.
The Japanese regiment commander was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he had no other choice but to bite the bullet and send a telegram, hoping that nearby troops would come to support him.
When the Japanese brigade commander received the telegram, he was so angry that he slammed the table and cursed.
His troops were almost able to surround the entire Hirai Castle, except for the people from Murakami Tono who had not yet arrived.
But no one expected that this guy Murakami Tono would be beaten like this by the guerrillas.
"Bakayaluo, it's not 200 guerrillas, it's 2,000 guerrillas!?"
"Damn it! The guerrillas are small units. How can there be a guerrilla force of 2,000 people?"
In order to request support, Murakami Tono simply increased the number of guerrillas many times.
Because only in this way will his brigade commander send troops to support him.
If it was just a guerrilla force of a few hundred people, even if his brigade commander sent people to support him, he would definitely not send many people.
"Hey, there are indeed more than 2,000 guerrillas. They should be the main force of the New Fourth Army, combined with the National Army!"
Murakami Tono hurriedly continued to lie.
"Baga! The main force of the New Fourth Army! They have joined forces with the Nationalist Army!"
The Japanese brigade commander quickly ran to the map, pointed at it and took a look, then a cold sweat broke out on his back.
"Bakayaluo, it seems that they want to attack us from behind while we are surrounding the county town!"
"Bakayaro, notify the Niijima Regiment and bring a battalion of puppet troops over to support us immediately. We must kill them!"
Murakami Tono made a classic phone call, patted his chest and let out a long sigh.
"Yoshi, reinforcements are finally here. Notify everyone that a regiment and a battalion of the Imperial Army will soon be here to support us. You must hold on. Reinforcements will arrive after daybreak!"
Although he didn't know when the reinforcements would arrive, he could do this to boost morale.
Sure enough, when the Japanese soldiers heard that so many reinforcements had arrived, they became very strong.
And the other side.
The guerrillas and the Black Wolf Army had already retreated, hoping to attract the Japanese to pursue them, thereby dispersing their forces again and engaging in guerrilla warfare with them.
But who would have thought that the Japs were not fooled.
The guerrillas in all directions quickly stopped.
Each side sent people back to scout the situation.
Although the cunning Japs did not build a fire to prevent the guerrillas from continuing to bombard with mortars.
But under the moonlight, you can still see the Japs gathered on a hillside, ready for defense.
The captains from all directions quickly ran to Xiao Liangchang.
Xiao Liangcai had no choice but to lead his men to run towards Yuan Shuai.
Except for Tie Xiaogang who left behind to take care of the new recruits, Yuan Shuai himself had already left with his men.
By the time he got here, Yuan Shuai had already disappeared.
"Tie Xiaogang, where is your old man?"
Xiao Liangchang couldn't see Yuan Shuai, and shouted at Tie Xiaogang with an anxious look on his face.
"Don't mention it, this guy ran away with the Black Wolf Army!"
Tie Xiaogang complained unhappily.
"He ran away? After fighting this hard, he actually ran away with his men?!"
Xiao Liang was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
The plan was proposed by Yuan Shuai, but the Japanese haven't been killed yet, and they actually abandoned them and ran away!
"I'm not running away. Ahem. He's leading us to attack the enemy's artillery position. Wasn't there an artillery position on the hill where the enemy ambushed us? Although it was bombed by us, there must be a lot of infantry guns and mortars on the position! So the boss took his men there and left me here. I'm so pissed!"
"Damn it, why doesn't this bastard ever give me a heads up? It's not even in the plan!"
Xiao Liangcai gritted his teeth and cursed angrily, even slapped someone directly, and muttered to himself.
Damn it, why didn’t I think of this!
If I had thought of it earlier, those infantry guns and mortars would have been mine!
At this moment, he finally understood why Yuan Shuai did not tell him about this move in advance.
It turns out you wanted to eat alone!
But he quickly came to his senses and continued asking.
"What did he say before he left? What plans did he have?"
“That’s true…”
Although Yuan Shuai left, he left Tie Xiaogang behind and also left behind the subsequent battle plan.
After Tie Xiaogang told his plan.
Xiao Liangcai burst into laughter.
"What a good plan! Yuan Shuai really didn't let me down! Very good, very good. Let's execute the battle plan immediately!"
Guerrillas in all directions quickly acted according to the plan.
But when they heard that the guerrilla warfare was going to be turned into an offensive, everyone was unsure.
"Damn it, Yuan Shuai must have been kicked in the head by a donkey!"
"We only have so few people, and he wants us to besiege an entire regiment of the Japanese! Isn't this just asking us to die?"
"We are good at guerrilla warfare. Not to mention siege warfare, even positional warfare is not something we are good at!"
"Don't be so long-winded. Yuan Shuai has already taken action. This is the captain's order. Follow it!"
Although many guerrillas opposed and complained, the team leaders had no choice but to suppress them by force and continue to carry out orders.
At this time, Yuan Shuai had already brought his men to meet up with Hu Dacai's three brothers.
Before, Hu Dacai was responsible for serving as his artillery observer.
Afterwards, Hu Dacai focused on scoping the situation on the front hillside where the Japanese had previously ambushed.
"Boss, you're finally here!"
Seeing Yuan Shuai coming, Hu Dacai was extremely excited.
"What's going on ahead?!"
Yuan Shuai also asked anxiously.
Because there are less than three hours left until dawn.
Once daybreak comes, Japanese reinforcements may arrive, and after daybreak, the Japanese will have a wide field of vision, making them more difficult to defeat.
Therefore, he must try to resolve the battle within these three hours and even take away all the spoils.
