Chapter 1406 Poisonous Sting!
When he heard the scout's report, Shangguan Zhibiao actually laughed because he planned to ambush the enemy twice at the same place.
This crazy tactic, which is a taboo in military strategists, is very popular in independent regiments.
Of course, this tactic also has a slight risk. You must not do this in the enemy's hinterland, otherwise it will be extremely difficult for you to escape after an ambush.
However, Wuming Village is an exception, because it is not in the hinterland of the enemy, not to mention that there is no Japanese army that can swallow the independent regiment near Ningyang County.
So Shangguan Zhibiao planned to try it and sent a telegram to the group's Dragon Boat Festival to ask if it was feasible.
But the Dragon Boat Festival answer is: act according to the original plan.
At this time, Shangguan Zhi understood that although the purpose of the group was the Sakata United team, it is not the time to take action now.
Many officers are willing to chew tough problems, but this is not the case for Dragon Boat Festival. Dragon Boat Festival likes to eat soft persimmons. And the softer and sweeter the persimmon, the more he likes to eat it.
Although fighting against the Sakata United is the main goal of this trip, this does not mean that the Dragon Boat Festival will use its unsuccessful weapons and equipment, as well as the soldiers trained with great effort, to fight the Japanese.
Fighting hard in a war is the stupidest thing, because even if you win, you will still suffer heavy casualties.
Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival will never do anything to hurt the enemy by 1,000. Even if one day he really wants to fight the Japanese devils, he will minimize his casualties.
Of course, Shangguan Zhibiao’s secondary ambush plan is also feasible. But there is a huge problem here.
The information provided by Shangguan Zhibiao was that they ambushed an infantry brigade of the Japanese Sakata United, concentrated their superior forces and the firepower of the loser, and wiped out the Japanese infantry brigade, and failed to escape.
But then, the reconnaissance troops discovered a second Japanese patrol team that came to hear the sound.
The other party was about to leave. Although most of them were beaten to death, many people still ran back.
Shangguan Zhibiao inferred from this that the Sakata United will definitely send another reinforcement after learning that the reinforcement troops were attacked.
But Dragon Boat Festival believes that this is not a big chance. Even if the captain of Sakata United is stupid, he should understand what is going on. His infantry brigade was wiped out of the city and his army was wiped out. He even sent people out of the city to die?
Of course, if this is the enemy's hinterland, Sakata might consider sending troops to reinforce.
But this is the front line where the two armies intertwine. If he, an infantry brigade, cannot ensure his safety, then even if he sends all the remaining troops, he will just go to die.
Therefore, all the captain of the Sakata United had to do was to report this matter to the headquarters of the Fifth Division and send scouts to conduct reconnaissance.
Because this old Japanese would definitely think that the entire Fifty-sixth Army had come.
Although the Japanese were a little surprised by this, after all, in their unstoppable offensive, the Chinese army would only retreat again and again, and had no ability to counterattack.
But even so, the Japanese will not foolishly deny that Chinese soldiers do not have the courage under the premise that the facts are in front of them.
Therefore, Shangguan Zhibiao had to wait for the Bantian United team to send people there, and it was most likely that he would fail.
This is a waste of time, not to mention that the independent group has more important things to do.
The original plan for Dragon Boat Festival was that after defeating the reinforcements from the Bantian United, Shangguan Zhibiao quickly led the mobile department to support Dongping County, which was the battlefield where Dragon Boat Festival was located at this time.
Instead of mobile troops, that is, those without cars quickly withdraw from the battle, meet with the baggage battalion and prepare for the next battle.
What about the mobile troops led by Shangguan Zhibiao? It mainly cooperates with the Dragon Boat Festival to aid Dongping County in all the Japanese and puppet troops who will aid in Dongping County in the future.
In other words, before the Dragon Boat Festival attacked Dongping County, it was expected that in addition to the Bantian United team, the Japanese in Feicheng and Pingyin directions would also rush to Dongping County for assistance.
But the number of Japanese devils in these two positions is not very large.
Of course, this is an inference from Dragon Boat Festival. Because the Japanese pushed all their troops to the front line, there were almost no Japanese in small counties like Feicheng, Pingyin, and Dongping County.
Therefore, from this, the Dragon Boat Festival came to a conclusion that the Japanese reinforcements from Pingyin and Feicheng should be mixed Japanese and puppet troops.
Such troops may have a large number of people, but their combat effectiveness will definitely not be very strong.
However, in order to be on the safe side and not have too many casualties, the Dragon Boat Festival would kill and injure these Japanese and puppet troops in large quantities, and even wipe out the city of Dongping Town.
In this way, the Dragon Boat Festival will become more generous again, and it may not be possible to even block Li Zhongren's hole.
The chairman asked Dragon Boat Festival to stabilize Li Zhongren. In fact, Dragon Boat Festival was not very resistant. After all, only if Li Zhongren's morale was stable can the battle in Xuzhou be beautiful.
But under that situation at that time, Dragon Boat Festival could not agree. Because once he agreed, the situation of the war was deviated. What should I do?
The situation on the battlefield can be said to be changing rapidly, and even the Dragon Boat Festival is not guaranteed, everything will go very smoothly.
So even if he was thinking about this, he would not agree to it casually.
Moreover, this was originally the Chairman's order to cheat him. If the Dragon Boat Festival is really accepted, it may not be possible for any other trouble in the future.
What's more, he can also use these weapons and equipment on Dragon Boat Festival and go to Li Zhongren to exchange for something, and in general, he won't suffer a loss.
But if the Chairman gave Li Zhongren an order to leave the matter to Dragon Boat Festival, then Li Zhongren should not be too righteous to take his things.
So he won't do such a loss-making business, even if he kills Dragon Boat Festival.
Of course, capturing Dongping County and then destroying these three Japanese and puppet troops to support was only part of the Dragon Boat Festival plan.
Because the real purpose of Dragon Boat Festival is actually not even Sakata United.
The Sakata United was defeated to give the Japanese Fifth Division a warning.
The Fifth Division was very arrogant. In addition to being frustrated at Pingxingguan, it almost sang triumphant songs all the way north.
Therefore, if you want to move the Fifth Division in Dragon Boat Festival, you must destroy the other party's aura. Let them understand that they are not invincible in China, and this is not their amusement park, but their graves. They will die in the stinky ditch like dead dogs at any time.
And when the Fifth Division was in panic, it was when he took action.
At that time, he will attract the attention of the Japanese and then let the 56th Army launch a sudden raid. Even if he cannot completely wipe out the Fifth Division, he will defeat the Fifth Division, thereby affecting the morale of the entire Japanese Second Army.
Therefore, although the battle in Dongping County seems insignificant, it is a poisonous sting that stirred up the entire Shandong battlefield.
