Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2226 Every failure makes you wiser!

In the woods two kilometers away from Sato, members of the Chunjianghao guerrilla team were leaning casually against tree trunks or sitting on thick fallen leaves to rest comfortably.

Some team members were eating white flour pancakes, which were baked by Wan Shanhong and the kitchen team before the battle. Each soldier had ten pancakes, which were enough to sustain them for three days.

In addition to the pancakes, each person also received a bag of dried pickled vegetable strips.

The soldiers ate dry biscuits and chewed pickled vegetables as if they were eating delicacies from land and sea.

Because right in front of them, it was Duanwu who was telling them about the delicious food that the Japanese devils had.

Canned beef, compressed biscuits, coffee, red wine, etc.

Duanwu said that when I led troops to fight in the past, I captured a lot of things from the Japanese. The soldiers under my command were tired of eating the Japanese canned beef, so they liked to eat this white flour and corn flour pancake, paired with this small pickled vegetable, the taste was beyond words.

A soldier laughed and said, "It turns out that we are eating well now, and some people envy us!"

Duanwu said: "Yes, when you get tired of the Japanese canned beef and other things, you will remember how happy you are to eat pancakes now."

A young soldier asked shyly: "Leader Ye, when can we live like that?"

Duanwu smiled and said, "I think it won't take long. As long as we can escape the enemy's encirclement and develop in a wider area, I guarantee that within half a year, we will eat what the enemy eats and use what the enemy uses. Moreover, our weapons and equipment must be much better than the enemy's."

"it is good!"

The soldiers cheered in unison, because if someone else said this, they might not believe it. But when Duanwu said this, they believed it without a doubt.

Because Leader Ye is so great, he led them to win countless victories.

Moreover, Leader Ye is kindhearted and always rushes to the front in every charge. He also completes dangerous tasks alone.

Who wouldn’t love such a leader?

So they all believed in Duanwu's words without a doubt.

However, unexpectedly at this moment, Ma Sanpao came back with two guerrilla fighters.

Duanwu sent them to investigate in the direction of the mountain stronghold.

Duanwu guessed that with two reconnaissance planes circling over his head, the Japanese would definitely take action.

So during the break, Ma Sanpao personally took two soldiers to conduct reconnaissance.

As expected, the news that Ma Sanpao brought back was that the Japs had arrived. There were about three or four hundred of them, and they were coming towards them aggressively. They were probably less than a kilometer away from them, and could pounce on them and surround them at any time.

Duanwu looked up at the reconnaissance plane still hovering in the sky and thought: It's time to get rid of the Japs.

But before getting rid of the Japanese, he would teach them a lesson that guerrillas are not so easy to chase.

Duanwu ordered: "According to the original plan, everyone disperses to disrupt the vision of the Japanese reconnaissance plane, and then we will meet at Yingzuigou."

At this point, Duanwu said to Ma Sanpao, "You and your team will be responsible for leading the enemy into Yingzuigou."

"Yes!"

Ma Sanpao took the order, and immediately all the guerrillas dispersed again, moving in all directions like ants.

The Japanese soldiers on the reconnaissance plane were stunned for a moment, because with so many targets, how could they follow them? They could only choose targets while contacting Colonel Sato and telling him that the enemy had scattered and fled.

After receiving the report, Colonel Sato gnashed his teeth in anger, because the guerrillas had used this method to escape the detection of reconnaissance planes before.

However, he had already discussed a countermeasure with Kitahara Hiroyuki, which was to kill one or several teams, because the guerrillas would reunite sooner or later.

Sato also slowed down his pace at this time.

  Because there was no point in continuing the pursuit. His enemies were escaping in different places, so he couldn't just split up his own troops to chase them, right?

In this way, he would fall into the enemy's trap again.

So Sato had no choice but to slow down and wait for feedback from the reconnaissance plane.

However, at this moment, the No. 2 reconnaissance plane suddenly brought a message that a guerrilla team had joined, with about thirty people. They were hiding in the woods with unknown purpose.

"Yoohee!"

When the old Japanese soldier Sato received the news, he thought: It would be great to have a reconnaissance plane to cooperate with me, as the enemy's every move can be fed back to me at any time.

As for what a small group of more than 30 people could do together? Sato didn't even think about it. He was leading nearly 400 people. Would a guerrilla group of more than 30 people dare to ambush him? That was a joke.

What's more, there are reconnaissance planes in the sky, which can report the enemy's movements at any time. If the enemy has an ambush, the reconnaissance aircraft will discover it in the first time.

So Sato quickly gave orders, and all the Japanese soldiers immediately chased after an unknown team of Chunjianghao's guerrillas.

But at this moment, news came that reconnaissance plane No. 1 also discovered a team of unknown actions.

Sato thought about it for a moment, then sneered, "I see, that's what the cunning guerrillas were planning!"

The adjutant beside him asked in confusion: "Sir, what kind of tactics are these guerrillas using? Why don't I understand it?"

Sato said proudly: "The guerrillas discovered that we were approaching them, so they used the same trick again and fled in different directions. But we were prepared, and we had two reconnaissance planes. Our enemies found that they could not escape, so they gathered together again to discuss countermeasures. And we took advantage of this time to eliminate them."

"Your Excellency, that is a very wise idea."

The adjutant flattered the old Japanese Sato, and the old Japanese Sato naturally enjoyed it very much.

But at this time, the adjutant said: "Sir, then there is another enemy team appearing over the No. 1 reconnaissance plane. What should we do?"

Sato was stumped by the adjutant's words, because based on experience, the worst thing to do in the mountains is to divide your troops, as there is a possibility that they will be defeated one by one by the enemy.

But a small enemy team of more than 30 people was targeted, but no one cared about it. Wasn't this a bit too cautious?

If it were in the past, he probably wouldn't even have to think about it, but now, it's a different matter.

His enemies were too cunning, so cunning that they gave him a headache.

It is precisely because of this that Sato, the old devil, had to consider the risks after dividing his troops.

After thinking for a long time, he decided to send out an infantry squad of 60 people to annihilate the enemy. Because there was a No. 1 reconnaissance plane on the scene, he believed that his squad would not be ambushed by the enemy.

Moreover, when this infantry squad was leaving, Sato repeatedly reminded them to retreat immediately and not hesitate if they found anything wrong.

  Facing the Chunjianghao guerrillas, Sato has learned a lesson from his mistakes!
