Chapter 554: Road Encounter Devil Squad
The Chongqing government, at 8:30 pm, Chairman Jiang received information reported from the Second War Zone, and the Eighth Route Army launched an attack on the Japanese Lishi County.
In just two hours, the entire Luliang area was in chaos and there was a tendency to expand toward the entire Shanxi. According to the observations of personnel from the Second War Zone, the 129th Division, 115th Division and other troops of the Eighth Route Army were mobilized, and it seemed that there was a tendency to engage in large-scale battles with the Japanese.
"Darling, what happened again?" Mrs. Song asked.
Chairman Jiang shook his head and frowned and said, "It's about the Eighth Route Army. I need to know the specific situation."
Seeing this, Mrs. Song understood Chairman Jiang's slightest bit, and said softly that she would go back early and leave after she went back to rest. It would be better for her to not get involved in military and national affairs.
After Mrs. Song left, an officer sent specific information about the battle in Lishi County for Chairman Jiang to make a judgment.
"It seems that the Eighth Route Army troops have developed well and can't stand the loneliness anymore." After reading the information in his hand, Chairman Jiang said.
Chairman Jiang frowned. The changes in the situation in Shanxi made him feel a little confused. But overall, the changes in Shanxi can undoubtedly reduce the pressure on the national army in western Hubei. Once the Eighth Route Army troops show too strong strength in Shanxi, the Japanese will definitely take action to suppress them directly.
"Did the Eighth Route Army realize something?" Chairman Jiang whispered in a low voice, but did not issue any orders to mobilize a force.
Before the situation in Shanxi was clear, Chairman Jiang was not going to do anything. Since the Eighth Route Army was going to make trouble, let the Eighth Route Army go and see what the Eighth Route Army could make trouble.
...
On the way from Wubao County to Shilou County, Liu Gen and others looked a little solemn. Along the way, the soldiers who were reconnaissance in front of the team found many Japanese troops going to support. For this reason, they changed their direction of progress several times in order to avoid these Japanese soldiers going to reinforce.
It has to be said that the Japanese troops have a very fast reinforcement speed. Even if the road conditions here are not good, the Japanese support speed is still very fast. According to the Japanese's current speed, they may be able to withstand the Lishi County area in less than two hours.
Of course, on the road, these Japanese reinforcements would also be blocked by various units of the Eighth Route Army. According to the original combat plan, these Japanese reinforcements could successfully arrive at Lishi County where they needed support after dawn. By then, the soldiers of the Division Decisive Teaching Regiment had already evacuated safely.
"Captain, there is a small Japanese army in front of us, and we can't avoid it." As we advanced, a soldier rode a horse to Captain Yao, his face a little ugly.
Captain Yao frowned. Their cavalry detachment had already investigated on this road, so there should be no problems. But now, how could he encounter a small Japanese army that could not be avoided?
"What the hell is going on?" Captain Yao asked with an ugly face.
"Now we are at the Hongqiu location. In order to support it as soon as possible, a small Japanese army chose to take this route. It was the Japanese from the Xiemadian stronghold, and there was a small team." The soldier said quickly.
Captain Yao's face became increasingly ugly. It was not so easy for a small team of Japanese soldiers to solve the problem. Moreover, this is a mountain road, and the soldiers of the cavalry detachment gathered together. Once they fought with this Japanese team, there would inevitably be considerable casualties.
You should know that there will be light machine guns and grenade launchers in the hands of the Japanese squad. If the cavalry detachment charges on the mountain road, its speed will inevitably be affected and it will become a target that the Japanese can easily hit. It can be said that even if the cavalry detachment can successfully kill this Japanese squad, the casualties will be somewhat unbearable.
"Captain Yao, if you can't avoid this Japanese team, we will kill him directly!" Liu Gen said on the side.
There are mountains and forests on both sides of this mountain road. If you want to avoid these Japanese, you can only enter the mountains and forests. This will undoubtedly greatly affect the speed of Liu Gen and others moving forward. Moreover, it is not that simple to enter the mountains and forests. Instead of considering entering the mountains and forests, it is better to think about killing these Japanese soldiers directly.
The Cavalry Detachment, Liu Gen and others, had nearly 300 people. With so many people, can't I still be able to reach a Japanese infantry team?
"Comrade Liu Gen, we don't have any heavy weapons in our hands. The comrades in the artillery battalion have mortars, but we don't have enough shells. If we really want to fight this Japanese squad, it will not be too easy for us to win." Captain Yao did not have much idea of fighting with the Japanese. It would be fine if he could win, but he could not win, which would affect the entire combat plan.
Liu Gen shook his head, "We don't have heavy weapons in our hands, but the Japanese don't know our existence. As long as we can ambush, it will be very easy to catch the Japanese off guard."
"It's night now, and the soldiers all carry grenades. At worst, we can just use all the grenades. I don't believe that the Japanese can survive so many grenades."
Captain Yao was a little moved, and Liu Gen was right. If so many grenades were left, even if all the Japanese were unable to kill them, there would not be too many Japanese left. In terms of shooting skills, the soldiers may not be able to match the Japanese, but when throwing grenades, the soldiers are more good at throwing them.
"Okay! Then we'll ambush and kill this Japanese team directly." Captain Yao thought for a moment and finally made a decision.
Liu Gen nodded with satisfaction. Killing this Japanese squad is the best choice. In his opinion, as long as it is handled well, it will not take too much time to kill this Japanese squad. At the same time, killing this Japanese squad can also reduce the pressure on some division headquarters to kill the secret service regiments.
"The Japanese are still a certain distance from us. We don't need all the soldiers to ambush them. Just take half of them out. The remaining soldiers stayed one thousand meters behind with their war horses. After the battle, we will continue to set off." Liu Gen said again.
Captain Yao had no objection to Liu Gen's arrangement, and soon the soldiers were divided into two parts. The soldiers in charge of ambushed quickly walked forward under the leadership of Captain Yao. They needed to reduce the distance between them and try to kill this Japanese team as soon as possible.
Before leaving, Captain Yao and his friends took away all the grenades. They couldn't kill the Japanese with so many grenades, so what do you need to say.
