Chapter five hundred and fifty third firm
After receiving the order from the battalion leader, Toshio Eguchi, the leader of the Japanese squadron, pursued them all the way north without hesitation.
He knew very well that his mission was to be both a bait and a surprise soldier, either to lead out the Eighth Route Army, or to cross the Eighth Route Army Blocking Line unimpeded.
Regardless of whether he made sacrifices or bravely shouldered important tasks, it was all for the holy war of the imperial army, and he was equally passionate. As for what kind of mission his team would ultimately undertake, the initiative was not in his hands.
But it doesn't matter, because there is one thing that is always in his hands, and that is time.
No matter what the Eighth Route Army wants to do, it remains true that their ultimate goal is to prevent them from sending reinforcements.
So as long as he pursues him regardless, the Eighth Route Army will have to intercept him.
Of course, in doing so, he had to bear some risks, and he was very likely to be ambushed by the Eighth Route Army, but this was not a problem at all, because he had the delay bait and was prepared to bear casualties.
However, marching alone was too boring, so Eguchi Toshio found something to do for himself, which was to pursue the Eighth Route Army troops who attacked his own reconnaissance team.
With purpose, it can transfer the boring feeling of troops marching, make soldiers no longer sensitive to fatigue, and effectively increase the marching speed of troops.
Of course, it would be even more perfect if we could catch up with the Eighth Route Army in front of us.
However, the Eighth Route Army in front of them was very slippery. They always used their usual tricks, sneak attacks with black guns, and ran away after the attack. They always cleverly avoided their pursuit, and even suffered a big loss.
This is the only thing about the Eighth Route Army that makes people annoying. They can't fight or run away. They will attack you at every turn. They don't do much damage, but they can always arouse your anger.
The movements of the Eighth Route Army in front of us were also very strange. One moment they were attacking from the west, and the next moment they were jumping out from the east. It was very uncomfortable, and it was hard to catch up with these damn guys.
However, he endured it and did not forget the mission, so he ordered his team to ignore the sneak attack from the Eighth Route Army and speed up the march, intending to rely on his own speed to get rid of this Eighth Route Army harassment.
Toshio Eguchi never tires of being harassed by the Eighth Route Army, while Tiedan also realizes that when he encounters hard problems, he should not be harsh.
They followed these little devils, keeping a distant distance, and never gave them a chance to get close.
Always keep yourself and the opponent within a controllable range, and pounce on them whenever you have time, firing a burst of machine guns or cold shots, or throwing a few grenades at intervals.
It seems that he should be taking the initiative, but this little devil is really ruthless. No matter how he teases the other party, he will not be moved.
The goal is also very clear, that is, to rush on the road. The Japanese who were injured in their sneak attack will be left alone once they catch up with the speed of the troops.
Yes, even though he knew that there were eight soldiers and wolves looking around, he still left his wounded behind just so as not to slow down his speed.
The Japanese who were left behind were also stubborn. They would never surrender when faced with the eight forces surrounding them. One or two people could form a line of defense to resist. In the end, they were defeated. They all destroyed their weapons and fired the prepared grenades. Sometimes they could still resist.
Lead the Eighth Route Army to death together.
Tiedan hated the Japanese very much, but he had to admire their ruthlessness.
The soldiers on our side will be frightened when facing the Japanese wounded soldiers who are lagging behind.
Bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes. The Eighth Route Army has always played the role of bare feet, but this time they were robbed by the Japanese. The little Japanese were ruthless and were equally desperate for their lives.
What Tiedan didn't know was that because the Japs were stationed in the southeastern region of Shanxi, they almost participated in large-scale operations in North China. However, the casualties of the troops were not large, so there were many elite veterans in this unit, and they had a very tenacious will to fight.
.
The little Japs have a crazy and ferocious energy in their bones, and the ferocity of this Japs unit ranks among the top among all the Japs troops.
Although Tiedan admired the Japanese's will to fight, he would never have the slightest sympathy or mercy. Instead, he aroused his anger. He had never been afraid of anyone more ferocious.
But now it's no use gritting his teeth. The Japanese don't stop even if they pay a high price, and stick their iron eggs against the wall.
He wanted to hinder the Japs' marching speed, but the more sneak attacks they had on this group of Japs, the faster the Japs would run. He really had no choice.
Faced with this new situation, Tiedan knew that it was futile, so he could only do his best to carry out a formulaic sneak attack as fate dictated, and immediately sent someone to report the situation on his side to Zhang Yunfei.
Tiedan and Eguchi Toshio are completely at odds with each other. One wants to leave without caring about him, and the other wants to stay. There is a lot of back and forth between the two parties, and they are very entangled.
Tiedan was very annoyed that these Japs didn't know how to show appreciation. He was so sincere in keeping each other here, but they still wanted to leave.
As for Jiangguchi's sneak attacks and harassment, and his repeated teasing, his anger had reached its peak, and he was already on edge.
The more the Eighth Route Army refused to let him go, it meant that his combat ideas were very correct. The Eighth Route Army was already getting impatient, so he turned his anger into motivation and continued to implement the established plan.
While Tiedan and Jiangkou were entangled, the communications troops sent by Tiedan reported the situation of the Japanese reinforcements to Zhang Yunfei.
Regarding the situation of the Japs, Zhang Yunfei also scratched his head. With the casualties in the war, the combat effectiveness of many of the Japs' troops had declined somewhat, so Zhang Yunfei was somewhat confident that he could wrestle with the Japs.
But according to the information sent back by Tiedan, these little devils are obviously ruthless characters, which makes them even more difficult to deal with.
Tiedan obviously can't delay it for long, it won't take long for the Japs to reach him, but the problem is that the Japs are divided into two parts.
My plan to ambush a wave and weaken part of the Japs' strength at the beginning of the battle also came to nothing.
Zhang Yunfei never even considered the idea of letting the Japanese front team pass and ambush the Japanese rear team.
Even if they try their best to block the enemy's fighting strength reported by Tiedan, they may not be able to withstand it. If they are attacked by the enemy from both sides, it will be fine.
Zhang Yunfei did not consider that the Japanese had even considered attacking him from a flank, but made reinforcements his first priority.
But if we knew that the Japanese were thinking this way, we would not be able to let them pass through our defense line one by one.
The current situation was developing in the direction that Zhang Yunfei least wanted to see. He could not severely injure some of the Japs in the sneak attack at the beginning, so he could only fight with the Japs.
Heavy damage to the enemy in one step... Heavy damage to some of the enemies...
