Chapter 239 Guerrilla attack

(...There are no exceptions for several major victories at the level of the battles I have participated in, with a large number of guerrillas to cooperate. They attacked behind enemy lines and prevented infiltration and reverse infiltration in every gap on the battlefield; but unfortunately, on those battlefields where multiple forces are confused, regular troops cannot get guerrilla cooperation at all, and the enemy's mobilization comes and goes smoothly... Excerpted from "My Memories of the War of Resistance - Cao Xiaomin")

"Woo ang~!" A harsh roar came from the air. The guerrillas on the ground turned their heads and looked at the sky. Most people didn't care about moving forward at all. Only a few guerrillas who were facing the head of the plane fell down. Although the aviation machine guns opened fire in the high sky, the gunfire was still reflected in the fish ponds and paddy fields. The "twist" gunfire still seemed very loud, but the people on the ground were really not afraid!

One day, the Japanese planes were hovering above their heads, but the guerrillas scattered very well, and often the farthest people in a squad were more than 200 meters away. The Japanese planes had no choice but to target them. Every time they dived, they could only find two or three people as targets. Often, after a round of dives, they would see the guerrillas lying on the ground getting up and patting their butts and continuing to walk.

"Boom!" A bomb fell in a fish pond in the distance, causing the water column to rise for half a day. After a few seconds, I saw the entire fish pond splashing waves around like a bowl of water. Some of the guerrillas who were moving on the ground not far from the fish pond were knocked to the ground by the wave with huge impact, and then stood up and checked whether the equipment on their bodies was damaged.

"It's a fierce boy..." A guerrilla suddenly pointed at a field, where a person with a pale face and blood was sitting. It was a team member who had been killed by air strikes. His posture was corrected by other brothers passing by, which means that the four grenades and big knives on his body, and the dry food had also been searched.

"Mengzi" usually likes to joke and has good popularity, but after his death, his brothers could not take his body away. The guerrillas passing by were speechless, and no one called for revenge or beat their chests and stamped their feet, but just walked by silently. Although the Japanese air strikes did not pose too much threat to them, they would always cause some casualties. The brothers were used to it; they had no way to counterattack the enemies from the air. These guerrilla soldiers had only three guns and sixty rifle bullets in a squad.

Some people were a little resentful and looked back at the Japanese in the distance. The Japanese were just about one kilometer away. Everyone could see each other and were walking on the field. But now both sides were like nothing happened. You walked yours and I walked mine, without even scolding each other, and they were slowly walking their own path.

The distance was too far. At the beginning, both sides had fired with guns, and there was no threat at all. Both sides had cursed each other, but they couldn't hear what they shouted, so everyone stopped. The two sides were fighting at this distance and moved to their respective destinations according to the command of their respective commanders, as if they were not fighting at all.

The guerrillas were unable to fight head-on with the enemy because of their poor equipment. The Japanese army was restricted by paddy fields, fish ponds and rivers, and they couldn't get up even if they wanted to. At first, the Japanese still ran very fast. They thought they were smart enough to chase the footprints left by the guerrillas, but soon they found that it was useless. After walking for a while, they would find that these footprints often brought them into dead ends and were blocked by several small rivers.

Can the guerrillas pass? Of course, most of these small rivers originally had bridges, small bridges built with bamboo ladders, but after the guerrillas passed, these "small bridges" were taken away; often the Japanese would see guerrillas moving from afar carrying the bridges that followed people.

There are sporadic gunfire everywhere in the area dozens of kilometers wide, and occasionally there will be explosions, just like the sound of firecrackers in the days after the Chinese New Year. There are also dead people in the wild, mostly corpses of guerrillas, but occasionally there will be Japanese who crash into the ambush circle and be beaten with a stick or injured guerrillas who cannot be transferred. If the Japanese come closer, they will launch suicide attacks when they launch.

"Boom!" There was another loud bang in the distance. You could see the shells break out of the gun flames and flew to a group of moving guerrillas on a dazzling track. The attacked people quickly fell down. The shells that had passed by flew for another five hundred meters before they fell into the paddy fields. A splash of water splashed but did not explode. The artillery bombardment like this that disappointed the Japanese cannon can often be seen. The Japanese's enthusiasm for artillery was extinguished with the effect of almost no killing. They rarely fired, and they just declared their dominance from time to time...

The Japanese chasing basically stopped. They suffered a great loss, just the night before. Now they did not dare to part ways, so they could only move forward step by step like ants crawling forward. They themselves knew that at this speed, they had to wait until dark before they could prepare to fight the *** opposite the Huaisi River, but they had no choice but to do so.

Will the *** guerrillas who have been in ambiguous distance from them tonight launch attacks like last night? The answer is yes. The Japanese who have been tortured for a whole night and have no longer had the power and desire to attack.

"Is this the same thing in other directions?!" Sakai Tokutaro asked softly with a gloomy face. Looking at the tanks that were wrapped in weeds and mud on the tracks, and all had to stop because of the mud on the road and other vehicles that had all become decorations for the same reason, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"Yes, the brigade commander, the troops that occupied Jiangdu and Yizheng have been encountering such obstacles since they marched north and cannot move forward quickly..." This is actually not the first time that the staff members have answered Sakai. When they see the commander ask the same questions from time to time, they can deeply feel the commander's helplessness.

On this day, all units of the 6th Division received a report on the war situation. On the northern line, the Japanese army attacked rapidly and had already attacked Taierzhuang, the northern barrier of Xuzhou. The General Command asked them to go north quickly to meet. But in this case, how can they get up quickly! (The above is the real situation of large-scale guerrilla forces in the water town coordinated with the main force in the defense battle in Changsha, Hunan. Imagine that hundreds of square kilometers can be fought like this, how can the Japanese exert mechanized and superior firepower? However, this large-scale guerrilla cooperative war can only be launched on the absolute national *** line...)

At this speed, the Japanese can advance ten kilometers in a day! This is still the situation where the defense line is not as strong as the deadly blocking; if this continues, it is estimated that the Japanese may not be able to defeat Baoying after Taierzhuang has finished fighting, right? Cao Xiaomin silently calculated the time and distance in his mind, and the power of several major blocking belts on the road...

If this continues, one day will it be possible to open the Jinpu Road! Yanbai Liu was so angry that his face turned blue by the report of the war. Now his heart was filled with regret: he should not send the Sixth Division to fight northern Jiangsu! This unit that is notorious for burning, killing, looting and plundering cannot make his opponent surrender anywhere, and every inch of Chinese territory fights with them. Even Yangzhou, which had been occupied by the Third Division, had a death battle in the entire region... Also, the battlefield in Anhui, which originally wanted to stop and slowly fade, now has to continue the extremely unfavorable battle: No one expected that the brave Li Tianhao did not break through but counterattack, and now Chuxian has turned upside down, and a section of Chuxian in Jinpu Road has been destroyed by the war. Could it be that Bai Chongxi was determined to eat all the Anhui departments in one bite? Can he eat it?

The battle situation on the battlefield in Anhui made Yanhata Ruo worried. Although there were still many Japanese combat troops there, more than four infantry corps and other fully equipped combat troops. However, these troops are currently very scattered and all tortured by cold and hunger for a long time. Any of these troops is surrounded and may be completely wiped out. Among these troops, the lowest morale among these troops are the units that were originally fighting along the Huai River. But now Li Tianhao cut off the way back and blocked the battle group in northern Anhui. If no troops are sent to reinforce, major changes may occur at any time. Which troops should be sent to reinforce? Now there are no more troops in the central China dispatched troops!

Seeing the wind and clouds on the northern front, the battle situation in the Jianghuai region was almost corrupt, Yanhata Roku felt a vicious curse in his heart: I hope there will be a crushing defeat on the northern battlefield, and teach those guys who always sarcastically when telegramming to the base camp...

"The southern line has stabilized, Taierzhuang will let go!" Bai Chongxi finally breathed a sigh of relief after carefully studying all the battle reports on the southern line: "According to the progress of the Japanese army, even in May, they would not be able to threaten the Taierzhuang battlefield; as long as Li Tianhao's troops entered northern Jiangsu, the 89th Army would go back to meet soon. If the battle situation in the north can hold on, the Japanese army would not even be able to open up the Jinpu Road!"

Li Zongren also looked happy: "I originally just wanted to engage in some pragmatism, and at least defeated tens of thousands of Japanese troops through this battle. Now it seems that the battle between the north and the south is just around the corner. This Xuzhou battle not only annihilated the enemy's number much larger than expected, but also at least it will be unbeaten in the situation..."

"The Commissioner's Secret Message..."

"Remember!" Li Zongren was a little proud and stopped robbing the telegram.

"According to Northeast intelligence, the Kwantung Army has been dressed up and will not go south again. De Gong should be careful. Can you also use the strategy of seducing and annihilation against the 6th Division of the Japanese Beast Army in the northern battlefield? This beast will not be destroyed and will not be suppressed by the resentment of the people who are unable to die..."

The two commanders who had just smiled and smiled bitterly when they heard the call...
