Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1197 The cunning and mysterious opponent (first update!)

"Retreat, reinforce the left behind squadron..." Nakazuo Harada ordered with a sullen face.

He can't afford to gamble, if the Eighth Route Army is really going to break through and kill himself if the back road is cut off, then the whole army will be finished~

Therefore, he decided to give up the hundreds of imperial troops that had been divided in front, and keep the remaining nearly thousand imperial troops around him first!

The devil quickly turned around, carrying light and heavy machine guns, dragging mountain cannons, infantry cannons, and ran towards the left behind squadron.

"Commander, the devil's main force has retreated... If he knows that there is only one infantry company attacking his left-behind squadron, even if they are given one night, they may not be able to take it down. The devil commander will definitely be so angry that he vomits blood! "The deputy battalion commander next to him shouted excitedly.

"Your move is too high, true and false, so that the little devil can't understand our true strength, so we can only retreat!"

Holding up the binoculars and staring at the battlefield, Rong Jun didn't show any smile on his face.Instead, he ordered with a serious face: "Old Zhang, you saw the devil walking in the artillery unit at the back! Take two or three companies, give me a hard hit, and directly raid their artillery unit. Can grab a few mountain cannons and infantry cannons!"

"By the way, let the devils be more confused about our true strength, speed up and don't retreat!"

The Japanese mixed brigade retreated in a hurry. After running for nearly three hours, although the brigade leader, Major General Shibazaki, had horses, his face was very tired.

Not to mention ordinary soldiers, carrying dozens of kilograms of weapons, ammunition and quilts, and without rest at night, they had to travel all day during the day.Now marching all the way in a hurry, even a man of iron will not be able to hold on at this time.

Seeing that the marching speed of the troops was getting slower and slower, the deputy next to him couldn't help reminding: "General, the soldiers are all too tired~"

"Should we let everyone rest for 10 minutes before leaving... I am afraid that if we continue to go on like this, everyone will be unable to hold on and fall behind!"

"Also, the hoofbeats of the cavalry galloping can be heard for several kilometers. Now there is no sound of hoofbeats coming. It must be our rear troops who blocked them!"

"Then rest for 10 minutes, and continue to set off in 10 minutes!" Major General Shibazaki decided after hesitating for a long time.

A few kilometers away, Ma Houshi led more than 200 cavalry around for a long time, and finally returned to the road.

"Battalion Commander, the devils are four kilometers ahead of us. If we kill them now, it only takes 10 minutes to catch them by surprise~ I suggest that the cavalry battalion go directly to it!" The deputy battalion commander suggested with excitement on his face.

Ma Houshi shook his head hesitantly and replied: "No!"

"Remember the rear troops left by the devils just now! I don't want to do it again, and let them kill a cavalry platoon for no reason!"

"In order to slow down our pursuit, the light and heavy machine guns equipped by the devils must be concentrated at the back of the team. Once we start to charge, they will know that we have killed them. The so-called being caught off guard is all our own thinking. It is impossible to kill a devil by surprise!"

"Maybe the devils will turn around and kill us by surprise. Don't forget, there is 10 minutes between the start of the raid and the encounter with the enemy. The devils in front of us are all elites, and 10 minutes is enough for them to deploy with light and heavy machine guns. Come out with a line of defense!"

"Then what should we do?" the deputy battalion commander asked back, frowning.

"Continue to detour, bypass the devils, rush to their front or flank, ambush, and then launch a surprise attack at close range!" Ma Houshi decided.

"The devil's light and heavy machine guns are concentrated at the back of the team. The automatic firepower in the front and the middle is definitely not enough. Even if they want to block us, they don't have enough firepower!"

"And what I want is a close-range surprise attack, and I won't give them too much preparation time!"

"As long as our cavalry battalion rushes to the road and meets the little devil, the initiative on the battlefield will be in our hands."

"At that time, no matter how elite the little devil is, he can't be the opponent of our cavalry in close combat!"

"Good way!" The deputy battalion commander's frowning relaxed immediately.

After resting for 10 minutes, the devils continued on their way. At this time, the marching speed of the troops was obviously much faster.Major General Shibazaki's nerves, which had been tense for several hours, slowly relaxed!
"General, it will be dawn in three hours. As long as the aviation soldiers arrive in time, we will be completely safe!" The adjutant next to him couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

A team leader followed up and added: "I haven't heard the sound of the cavalry chasing. There is only one possibility. They are still blocked by our rear troops. Even if they break through the interception of our rear troops now, wait until they chase all the way. Come on us, it will be dawn soon, and we can send a rear guard to continue to block them until the aviation soldiers come over!"

Although Major General Shibazaki breathed a sigh of relief, he still reminded: "Although we have said that, we still cannot let our guard down!"

"I haven't seen Xinyituan before, but this time I have seen it thoroughly!"

"The deepest impression left on me is cunning. They are too cunning. They don't play cards according to common sense at all in war. They often like to surprise!"

"Facing such an opponent, we must be cautious and cautious. No one can guarantee when they will come up with a new trick to deal with us!"

"Rumble..."

As soon as Major General Shibazaki finished speaking, there was a faint sound of horseshoes, and the sound became louder and louder.

"Bageya Road, he will come here for whatever he is really afraid of. The cavalry came to kill us. We pulled out a squadron of heavy machine guns and an squadron of infantry, and set up a defensive line on the spot to block them. We must not let them surprise our troops!" His face suddenly changed. Major General Shibazaki called out loudly.

The stretched brows also wrinkled into a big Sichuan character at this moment.

The adjutant next to him didn't move, but reminded with fear on his face.

"General, the sound of hooves seems to be coming from the front, not the back!"

The already pale face became even paler at this time, and he became terrified, and shouted in shock: "Front, how could they run in front of us!"

After only a few seconds, Major General Shibazaki showed a sudden realization expression on his face.

"I understand, they must have crossed the blockade of our rear troops long ago, but they have not raided us, but bypassed our front and flanks, and then attacked!"

"What a cunning Eighth Route Army, we concentrated almost all the light and heavy machine guns in the rear guard, and the front troops had almost no automatic firepower. Once attacked by the cavalry, they didn't even have the equipment to fight back!"

The adjutant and the captain next to him were in a hurry.

They were veterans and knew exactly what would happen to a group of riflemen in front of cavalry.

As soon as his face changed, he asked: "General, what should we do?"

"There is a way!" Major General Shibazaki gritted his teeth and replied with a painful face!
