Chapter 80 Gourd Valley

After six days of pulling away, a fleeting fighter jet finally appeared.

The core essence of mobile warfare is to hold the opponent and fight in the deep mountains and forests. The reason why we have to hold the opponent and wander in the deep mountains and forests is to mobilize the opponent.

Because only by completely mobilizing the opponent can fighter appear.

The reason in the middle is very simple. Let’s talk about people first. There are physical differences between individuals. Some soldiers have excellent physical fitness, but some soldiers have poor physical fitness. After a long marching period, the soldiers with poor physical fitness will slowly fall behind, and the entire army’s marching queue will be disconnected from each other.

Then let’s talk about the composition of the small Japanese troops. The small Japanese have infantry, cavalry, engineers and artillery. The marching loads of each group of troops are different, and the intensity of logistics support is also different. Although the cavalry has strong maneuver power, the logistics support pressure is high. Although the artillery has strong firepower, the marching loads far exceed that of the infantry.

After six days of high-intensity mountain marching, the marching queue of the 14th Brigade of the Japanese Independence Mixed 14th Brigade was inevitably disconnected. After all, Takayo Fujido is not a god. It is impossible for him to install hot wheels on the artillery in one breath to help them catch up with the marching speed of the infantry.

The current situation is that the two vanguard brigades of the Fujido Brigade have arrived at Heilongzhai. The other two infantry brigades, cavalry, engineers, military police, and puppet army's Dragonkou Mixed Brigade were about ten miles behind. Before dark, they could probably go to Heilongzhai to join Fujido Gaoying.

However, Major Ikeda's 14th Independent Artillery Brigade is still far away in Hulu Valley, and is at least nearly thirty miles away from Heilong Village. Before it was dark today, Ikeda's brigade could not have arrived at Heilong Village to join the main force of the 14th Independent Brigade.

"The mountain road is rugged, and it is difficult for the pack horse to walk?" After listening to the correspondent soldier's report, Takayo Fujido frowned.

Because the Ikeda Brigade had to carry bulky cannon parts and a large number of shells, it was inevitable that marching in the mountains. Takayo Fujido Takayo was mentally prepared for this. In order to strengthen the mobility of the Ikeda Brigade, Takayo Fujido even specially equipped the Ikeda Brigade with more than 200 additional pack horses.

However, after actually entering Erlong Mountain, Takayoshi Fujido found that he was still too optimistic about the mobility of the Ikeda Brigade. Starting from Huangyangao, Ikeda Brigade landed behind the entire marching queue.

Now, Ikeda Brigade has been delaying nearly a day's trip, and the distance will continue to widen further.

"Hayi." The communications soldier carrying the walkie-talkie bowed heavily and continued, "Captain Ikeda also said that he would camp in Hulu Valley tonight and would continue to enter the mountain tomorrow."

"Gourd Valley?" Takae Fujido said again, "Map."

Adjutant Ogasawara quickly opened the map bag, took out the map and spread it out on the low table.

Takae Fujido found Hulu Valley on the map, and then measured it with a corner ruler. He found that the straight line distance between Hulu Valley and Heilongzhai was more than five kilometers. Considering the undulating terrain in the mountains, the actual marching distance is at least ten kilometers and ten kilometers. It is not far away, but it is not close anymore, and it is impossible to catch up within at least an hour.

At that moment, Takayoshi Fujido asked Ogasawara again: "San Ogasawara, please contact the 58th Independent Infantry Team and the UU Infantry Team immediately to see where they have arrived now?"

"Hayi." Adjutant Ogasawara Atsushi called the correspondent with the walkie-talkie carrying the walkie-phone.

A moment later, Ogasawara came over to report: "God General, the 58th Independent Infantry Battalion, the UU Independent Infantry Battalion has passed the Black Dragon Ridge, less than two kilometers away from the Black Dragon Village."

The 58th Independent Infantry Brigade and the UU Brigade are less than two kilometers away from Heilongzhai. If they are asked to go back to protect the artillery Brigade in the dark, it would be a bit unkind. Even if it is infantry, the marching in the mountains is not a joke. After a day of marching, they are all very tired.

However, it is absolutely impossible not to send infantry to protect artillery. Although Ikeda Brigade has more than 500 officers and soldiers and even has a garrison squadron in its organization, neither pure artillery nor this garrison squadron belonging to the artillery brigade are considered infantry in the true sense.

After years of practical training, artillery observation, artillery operation, bullet point correction, and other techniques have become extremely skilled. Each division and brigade can easily pull out an artillery, which is excellent, but it is a bit difficult for them to fight like infantry and fight bayonets. And this is also a huge waste.

Technical troops are much more valuable than infantry after all.

At this moment, Fujido Takae said: "Order that the military police brigade does not have to come to Heilongzhai again, and order them to return to Hulu Valley immediately and meet with the artillery brigade."

"Hayi." Adjutant Ogasawara took his head heavily, then turned around and signaled the communications soldiers to issue orders to the military police brigade through the walkie-talkie.

Takayo Fujido thought about it, but still felt a little worried. Although the melee ability of the military police brigade is much stronger than that of the Ikeda brigade, it is not a real field force after all. He continued: "In addition, the Dragongu Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army does not have to come to Heilongzhai anymore, let them go back to Hulu Valley as well."

Takayo Fujido Tengdo was sympathetic to the officers and soldiers of the infantry brigade. He didn't want them to march back and forth and wasting their physical strength, but he was not as easy as the people in the Dragonkou mixed brigade of the puppet army.

"Hayi." Adjutant Ogasawara took his head again.

"Old Gao, please explain the situation to everyone." Xu Shijiu said.

Xu Shijiuzheng held a meeting in a cave less than ten miles from Heilong Village.

"Okay, this is the case." Gao Shenxing signaled Noguchi to help him hang the map on the wall of the cave, and then shine the map with a car light, saying, "The two infantry brigades' vanguard of the Fujido Brigade had arrived at Heilongzhai in the afternoon. The main force was about ten miles behind. It had just passed the Dragon Back. Of course, two hours have passed now, and the main force of the Fujido Brigade should have arrived at Heilongzhai."

Xu Shijiu interrupted: "Old Gao, tell me the key point."

"Okay." Gao Shenxing nodded, and continued to move down the map with his right hand, and then said, "The main force of the Fujido Brigade has arrived at Heilongzhai, but their artillery brigade is still twenty miles away. When Noguchi comes back to report, the Japanese artillery brigade has not yet arrived at Hulu Valley. If nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese artillery brigade will only be able to camp in Hulu Valley tonight."

"There are more than twenty miles from Hulu Valley to Heilongzhai, and more than twenty miles of mountain roads. Even if you force yourself to march, it will take at least one and a half hours." Li Zihan clenched his left fist and his right palm and slammed hard, saying in a deep voice, "One and a half hours, as long as you have sufficient preparation, it will be enough for us to eat the artillery brigade of the Tengtang Brigade."

Xu Shijiu said: "Tengdo Gaoying is not stupid. He may not let his artillery brigade be alone. If nothing unexpected happens, the old Japanese will definitely send troops back to protect his artillery."

Gao Shenxing said: "I kept Xiaomai and monitored the Japanese artillery near Hulu Valley. I believe there will be news soon if Fujido Takayoshi will send troops back to Hulu Valley."

Before he finished speaking, Li Mu ran in with anger and stuttered, "Captain, little Japanese, little Japanese, little Japanese, have sent troops back to Hulu Valley."

Xu Shijiu and Gao Shenxing looked at each other and asked, "How many troops are there?"

"Xianxianxianxianxian, military police brigade, and the puppet army's Longkou Mixed Brigade." Li Mudao.

"The military police brigade and the puppet army's Dragonkou Mixed Brigade?" Xu Shijiu said, "Xiao Mu, are you sure?"

"Captain, don't worry." Li Mu had already recovered and gritted his teeth, "I see it really. Even if the old Japanese devils turned into ashes, I would not admit my mistake."

After pausing, Li Mu continued viciously: "One day, I will break his neck with my own hands.
