Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 840 Beat the dog first, then kill the chicken!
"A second generation ancestor, what's so scary?"

Zhou Weiguo sneered, thinking that Endo Kinichiro was only a second-generation ancestor.

But Duan Wu didn't think so, because there was no problem with the opponent's defense.And it can be said that the other party is more serious about his opponent than any officer he has ever met.He started to deploy his defenses half a month ago. This is not aimed at him, but at all Chinese soldiers.

This is very rare in the devil army. Many devil officers are crazy on the battlefield in China. Except for a few Chinese troops, they don't pay attention to other Chinese troops at all, even dozens of them, Hundreds of people dare to chase a regiment or division of the Chinese army.

So when facing such an opponent, if you are careless, what awaits you will be a disastrous end.

Duan Wu asked Qiu Ming: "Did you guys see the devil's artillery in the city?"

Qiu Ming thought for a while and said, "They didn't say that, but if the other party is a brigade, I think there must be artillery."

Duan Wu asked: "What is the specific number of people and the maximum scope of activities?"

Qiu Ming thought about it again and said: "If necessary, these comrades of mine can sacrifice to resist the invaders."

"have to!"

Duan Wu hurriedly asked the other party to stop, because he was looking for the internal response to reduce the number of deaths, but in the end, the battle was not fought yet, and the other side was ready to sacrifice.

Duan Wu thought it was better to think on his own, so he turned his face and continued to investigate.

It's just that this little devil's defense is watertight, and it is blocked by a city wall, which is very difficult.

There are heavy artillery in the Dragon Boat Festival, but if he wants to knock down the city wall and grate the positions outside the city like a grate, I am afraid that the shells he brings are not enough.

Although the Dragon Boat Festival seized a large amount of artillery and ammunition from the Sakata Wing of the Japanese Army, at least half of them were lost during the bombing.

So if you want to carpet-bomb the devil's position like a grate, the ammunition is simply not enough.

What's more, it's not cost-effective. For the Dragon Boat Festival, these shells are used to destroy the army of devils. It hurts him to throw them all on the battlefield and kill a few devils.

Of course, if there is really no other way, he will do the same. After all, it is people who fight, and he can still grab the weapons and equipment when they are depleted, but if the people are gone, then there is nothing.

He was short of men, and especially veterans who had fought hard battles.

"Report, we have just intercepted a message from the little devil that the Japanese army's Akasaka Brigade is sending reinforcements to Lai'an County."

At this moment, it was the communication soldier who brought him good news.The little devils in the city have reinforcements.

"Hey, hahaha!"

Duan Wu smirked, making everyone present laugh stupidly, because the enemy has reinforcements, what's so funny about that?

But at this moment, Duan Wu squashed all the sketches he had just drawn, slapped his butt and said, "Let's go, let's meet the little devil's reinforcements."

"You mean? Hey, that works!"

Zhou Weiguo suddenly realized, and Qiu Ming also saw the clue at this time.He guessed that the Dragon Boat Festival was a reinforcement who wanted to fight the devils, but what about the devils in the city?
Because the devil's reinforcements were attacked, would the devils in the city watch their colleagues be wiped out by the enemy?

The devils in the city would come out and attack back and forth with the reinforcements. Qiu Ming felt that this might not be a good idea.

He caught up with Duan Wu and stopped him: "Comrade Duan Wu, I know you are a reinforcement who wants to fight the devils, but what about the devils in the city? They want to go out of the city to cooperate with the reinforcements, and we will face the enemy?"

"All I want is for him to come out."

Duan Wu smiled evilly, because Lai'an County was heavily defended, and it would take time and effort to attack frontally, and it would only increase casualties, so it would be better to get the little devil out and fight.

The Dragon Boat Festival sent scouts to search for the location of the little devil's reinforcements, while the large forces were assembled and ready to go.

About an hour later, the scouts sent the news that the little devils came from the southwest for reinforcements. The force was a brigade with two 150mm howitzers.

Except for the main battlefield, this is very rare in the devil's forward positions. Two 150mm howitzers are enough to knock down the walls of a small city.

Take Laian County as an example. The city wall is only seven or eight meters high and a little over two meters thick. Such a city wall can collapse with just a few shots.

Zhou Weiguo said: If we get this thing, then we are sure to attack Lai'an County head-on.

Duan Wu curled his lips and said, "Aren't you afraid that the little devil will hit you with this thing?"

"..."

Zhou Weiguo was speechless, because the most annoying thing about the Dragon Boat Festival is that he likes to pour cold water on people when they are very interested.

However, Duan Wu is telling the truth, the opponent has a large army, if the enemy is given a chance to respond, then I am afraid that this battle will be fought.

The combat style of the Dragon Boat Festival has always been to not give the enemy any chance to breathe. If he does not make a move, he will use thunder.

So if you want to deliberately keep those two cannons, it doesn't exist.In the first round of ambushes, the heavy weapons in the hands of the enemy must be completely destroyed, otherwise once the battle falls into anxiety, the enemy will use these weapons to fight back.

No one will underestimate the power of a 150mm howitzer, which is enough to fill a two-meter-deep trench.

What's more, this time the ambush was very hasty, and it was too late for Duan Wu and others to dig trenches.

The location of the ambush is Yandang Mountain, which is five kilometers southwest of Lai'an Xiancheng. The terrain here is flat, so it is not suitable for ambushes. If it weren't for the forests on the left and right to block the devil's sight, I'm afraid the ambush would be exposed to the devil's vision .

But it was precisely because of this that the devils didn't realize that someone was going to ambush them, not to mention that they were about to arrive in Lai'an County.It would be madness for the enemy to ambush them in this position.

It doesn't take long, only about 10 minutes, the Endo brigade in the city can arrive for reinforcements, and join forces to completely wipe out the enemies who ambushed them.

What's more, Captain Akasaka is very confident in his subordinates, because they have just retreated from the frontal battlefield, and the Northwestern Army that fought with them has been safely defeated and is retreating to rest.

So the little devil's morale was high, and he rushed to Lai'an County with arrogant footwork.

Duan Wu, who was hiding in the woods to investigate, watched the devils stepping forward one by one, then nodded and said: "The winner will be decided within 5 minutes, and the battle will be over within 10 minutes. The death rate of the little devils is over [-]%. Let the brothers fight harder, and we will strive to increase the death rate of the little devils to [-]%."

"Yes!"

The old abacus accepted the order with a smile, and then quietly retreated to deliver the order, and a victory without any suspense will be kicked off! .
