The Dragon Boat Festival cross-river operation went very smoothly. After seizing the second patrol boat, all the people were quickly transported to the north bank.

Although the third patrol boat was not far away from them when the soldiers were transported for the last time, the patrol boat did not come forward to inquire about the situation.

Duanwu guessed that the first reason was that the patrol boat was too far away, and the second reason was that it was getting bright and the Japanese saw that the boats were all Imperial soldiers, and the patrol boat belonged to them, so they did not bother and continued downstream.

Sail away.

Duanwu placed booby traps and explosives on the two Japanese patrol boats before jumping off the boat.

At this time, everyone had arrived, and Lao Baanpan came to report: "Commander, a small group of Japanese soldiers just passed by. I will send them away according to your instructions."

"How long has the other party been gone?"

Duanwu rolled his eyes because he was worried that he had no goals.

Because what was his purpose of crossing the river this time? It was to create the illusion that the Independent Regiment had crossed the river.

The reason why we avoided a head-on encounter with the Japanese patrol boat during the Dragon Boat Festival was because they were part of the Army and were not good at water warfare. Once the hull of the boat was damaged and the fifty-five soldiers on board fell into the water, the possibility of survival would be almost zero.

Therefore, in areas where you are not good at, avoiding combat is also a victory.

But it's different on land. Although there is still no comparison between Duanwu's soldiers and the Japanese's soldiers, he has enough people. With a strength advantage of more than 300 people, coupled with Duanwu's excellent command ability,

It is very easy to annihilate a Japanese squad.

But, how can it be an encounter?

In other words, it is easy to kill the Japanese, but it is not easy to make the Japanese think that this is an encounter.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

Otherwise, the Japanese would think, why did the Independent Regiment attack this Japanese team? There was no encounter between the two sides. It was the Independent Regiment who took the initiative to expose themselves. So what was his purpose?

This would violate the original intention of the Dragon Boat Festival plan, and Zhou Wei's Ministry of National Defense would also be put in danger.

In other words, Zhou Weiguo's march to Changzhou with a large force was not without danger. They were very likely to encounter the Japanese who were searching for him.

So this is also the reason why Duanwu chose Zhou Weiguo to lead the team. Zhou Weiguo not only received professional military training, but also studied in Germany. Many of his tactics are also remarkable.

In a word, it means that Zhou Weiguo has the qualifications of an excellent commander.

At this time, it seems that Zhou Weiguo can only serve as a foil to Duanwu. That is because Duanwu is too strong, not because Zhou Weiguo is too weak.

Of course, even so, the Dragon Boat Festival must make this scene more realistic.

He asked the soldiers to walk around the river, leaving a lot of footprints, while looking at the map.

The map shows that there is a river bend that winds northward in the upstream position, so the road that was originally about one kilometer apart was forced to form an intersection.

This location is very good. As long as Duanwu and his people pass here to encounter the Japs, then kill most of them and let a few escape, the Japs will know that Duanwu has crossed the river.

Of course, this requires luck, because the little devils have already left ten minutes early, and they have two motorcycles.

It is impossible for a Japanese officer to ride a straddle motorcycle. It is impossible to run with the soldiers. This is the prerogative of a Japanese officer.

Of course, this requires sufficient conditions. Otherwise, without motorcycles, the junior officers of the Little Devil can only run with the infantry.

But this is not the point. The point is that Duan Wu is wondering whether he can catch up with the opponent, and also creates the illusion of being attacked by a large army.

After a while, Duanwu thought it was possible.

Although the Japs left ten minutes early and had motorcycles, they were on daily patrols rather than marching in a hurry, so the Japs would not be so fast.

Therefore, it is precisely because of this that Duanwu has the possibility to catch up with the opponent and stage a perfect encounter.

"Old Abacus, left with a platoon, leaving no trace of our whereabouts to the Japs except for the footprints of our landing. After completing the mission, meet us at Sanchagou.

Chen Shusheng, you take the rest of the people and follow me, we will chase the Japanese from another way and try to meet them at Sanchagou."

"Yes, Tuanzuo!"

Lao Abacus took the order and left first with his men to find tools to erase the footprints of the following soldiers.

But at this time, Chen Shusheng thought for a while and said: "Tuanzuo, the distance between us and Sanchagou is about five kilometers longer than that of the little devil, and the other party has been gone for ten minutes. Can we catch up with him?"

Duanwu smiled and said: "It must be possible. The little devil has to walk, but we have to run. Brothers? Can we catch up with the little devil?"

"Yes! Yes!"

When the Dragon Boat Festival roars, all the soldiers drink.

At this time, what Dragon Boat Festival wanted was this kind of momentum. He led the team and ran five kilometers in one breath, and it only took them thirteen minutes to complete the five kilometers.

It can be said that even Duanwu did not expect such a speed. After all, the people he is leading now have never even had systematic training.

Of course, after running such a long distance, many soldiers showed signs of asthma.

Dragon Boat Festival saw this and immediately slowed down his running speed and taught all the soldiers the essentials of long-distance running.

Duanwu gave a loud order: "Adjust your breathing. Let's run at a constant speed. Don't rush. We just need to maintain the current speed. It is a sure thing to intercept the little Japanese at Sanchagou."

Now everyone follow me, take a deep breath,...exhale,...breathe,...exhale, okay, you must master this rhythm, and take moderate steps.

If the steps are too small, we will waste a lot of energy; if the steps are too big, we will easily pull our hips and sprain our feet..."

While cheering for the soldiers, Duanwu explained the key points of long-distance running to the soldiers. Because he did not want every soldier in the team to fall behind.

Because falling behind at this time is equivalent to death.

Moreover, the Dragon Boat Festival requires warriors to conserve their physical strength to cope with the coming battle.

Although the Japs only have a small team of about fifty-five people, these fifty-five people theoretically have the combat effectiveness of a company. They are even stronger than the combat effectiveness of a company.

Therefore, to eliminate such a Japanese army requires not only a smart mind but also sufficient physical strength.

Because since it is an encounter, close combat is very likely to occur, and that is when the psychological quality of each warrior will be truly tested.

Hand-to-hand combat is always the cruelest. Maybe one shot and one life from a long distance is nothing to you, but when you get close, you will see the opponent's blood flowing with your own eyes. There are broken limbs and broken arms everywhere on the entire battlefield.

Internal organs may even burst out of wounds on the body.

That kind of horrific scene is not something anyone can bear.
