Chapter 531 The Japanese army pursues wildly
The 60th Japanese Army Regiment of Lianyungang made Ouyang and others feel extremely lucky.
The actions heading westward, with the help of the cover of the night, became extremely smooth and almost without any greater resistance.
After all, the Japanese army was smart enough to think that this was a conspiracy between our army.
And we mistakenly treat our army as the anti-Japanese force in northern Jiangsu, without thinking that our army fled from Shanghai.
Because no one thinks that our army can escape from East China where the Japanese army deployed heavily, namely Suzhou, Nantong, Huzhou and other places.
This is a blessing in disgrace!
A series of wrong judgments led to almost all of the Japanese troops in Lianyungang deploying their main forces in key areas such as counties and Lianyungang city.
However, in towns and villages outside the county town, no troops were deployed, at most, some puppet troops and Japanese military posts.
The Japanese army had few sentinels, which posed no threat to our army, and they were pulled out in an instant;
Although there were quite a lot of puppet troops on the periphery, they all had a negative attitude of not being attentive to themselves. Even if we saw that our army had enough troops, they did not dare to intercept them at all.
Even if they reported this simple move to the Japanese army, they did not do it.
As a puppet army battalion commander said: "We cannot be stupid. Once we report the real situation of tens of thousands of enemies, we will not only not expect the Japanese army to reward us, but also very likely to let us intercept it."
"There are tens of thousands of people in the crowd, and one can drown us with just one spit. If we are stupid and rush up to the ground, wouldn't we beg for death?"
"You all kept your mouth shut. If Taijun knew about this, it would be better than us. If one of them was not good, it would be the result of the human head falling."
Therefore, wherever Ouyang's army passed, the puppet army posts passed by surprisingly did not suffer a single resistance.
Not only did our army not encounter any resistance, but many puppet troops even took the initiative to surrender and provided bags of rice, flour and food to our army without hesitation.
When we first saw this situation, even Ouyang and Chief of Staff Wang Yaqiao, who had been through many battles, laughed out loud.
This is the first time they have seen this situation!
The gang of soldiers and gangsters in our army also laughed out loud.
Everyone was overjoyed, their eyes were round and round.
"Dog~Damn, what's going on?"
"The puppet army is too fucking bored!"
"That's right, not only surrender, but also take the initiative to hand over guns, ammunition and food? This is the first time in the first place!"
"Forget it once or twice, we all seem to be like this along the way!"
"Yes, we have paid at least twelve and three puppet army posts along the way, right?"
"What's wrong?"
"Made, why didn't we encounter this good thing in the battlefields of the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing before?"
"So good!"
The actions of a group of puppet army posters directly confused many of our army!
The advancement was as smooth as the winds, and the number of guns seized reached more than 500, and there were quite a lot of materials such as grain, rice, flour, etc.
The smooth journey has caused many soldiers who were originally determined to escape to temporarily suppress this mentality.
Because Ouyang not only stated to them the interests of leaving the large army at this moment, but also made promises to many of them.
"As long as you arrive at a safe area, whether to join our army or not, it depends on your voluntary voluntary."
The effect of this promise is huge!
No matter how much favorable or a sense of belonging they have for our 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, there is one thing that cannot be erased.
That is my 512th Brigade, and my Eighth Route Army is their life-saving benefactor!
"Forget it, we won't run away now. Let's talk about it when we get to a safe place!"
"Yes, the commander of the Eighth Route Army is also for our own good!"
"You are right. Let's leave without saying goodbye now, which also makes us look petty, right?"
"The commanders of the Eighth Route Army have made promises, so they will definitely not break their promises. After all, they are such a big official, right?"
"That's sure, do you think the brigade commander will spray feces like our Long Wen Commander, who doesn't keep his mouth shut and doesn't have a door on his mouth?"
As a result, only more than 300 prisoners of war finally escaped, and the rest followed Ouyang's troops!
The more than 300 people fled, which did not make Ouyang very sad.
"Those who keep them cannot keep their hearts!"
Ouyang Yan said: "After all, we are the Eighth Route Army, and our soldiers are all voluntarily joining. We can't do that, otherwise it will ruin our team's reputation!"
Only more than 300 people left, which exceeded Ouyang's expectations.
Although Ouyang made a promise to them, when he arrived at a safe area, he would only stay or stay by themselves.
But Ouyang is confident that after his own actions, he will definitely be able to allow the vast majority of people to join our army willingly.
After all, Ouyang has two treasures in hand!
First, complaining about the movement;
Second, political work.
The complaint movement was first a form of class education during the Red Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Even during the National Liberation War, it was widely used.
Complaints are complaining about the sufferings given to the working people by the old society and reactionaries.
Through complaints, we will improve the awareness of all commanders and fighters to fight bravely to liberate the exploited working people.
At the same time, it strengthened the strong unity of all commanders and fighters under the leadership of **, so that the troops were united, not afraid of sacrifice, were brave enough to kill the enemy, and ensured the victory of the war.
During the Red Army period, the most prisoners of war captured by our army would hold a complaint meeting, and the effect was very obvious.
During the Red Army period, our army faced a million-dollar encirclement and suppression, and every time we encountered difficulties, our party and army survived tenaciously and had a strong momentum. This is all the benefits of the complaint movement!
The National Liberation War was even more obvious!
During the Liaoshen Campaign alone, our army directly or indirectly converted the number of officers and soldiers to accept more than 300,000 through complaint movements!
During the Anti-Japanese War, the political and ideological workers of our party and army were extremely powerful!
During the 8-year full-scale war of resistance, our party and army have been hiding in the corners of Shaanxi, with tens of thousands of people. Not only has it not been eliminated in the confrontation with the Japanese army, but the number of people in our army has also grown to millions, and the number of people covered by the base area is more than 100 million.
These not only cause our army to win step by step, but also contribute to our party and our army's political and ideological work.
Awaken the people's fighting spirit in the fight against Japan and enhance the anti-Japanese passion of military soldiers!
Including the transformation of the defeated ** soldiers into our soldiers, their role is also very significant!
Ouyang couldn't help but laugh and said, "The complaint movement, coupled with the current political work of our army, these two heavy punches will definitely be fooled. Oh, if you are wrong, it will definitely allow many people to voluntarily join our Eighth Route Army family!"
After all, paper cannot contain the fire.
At around 8 o'clock in the morning, it was dawn and the specific forces of our army were discovered by the Japanese army.
After all, there are too many people in our army!
Even if Ouyang adopted the plan to split his troops and break through the siege, the same would be true!
But when the Japanese army discovered it, our army had already run away!
Seeing that our army had already run out of Lianyungang in one breath, the Japanese army in Lianyungang had just reacted, but it was too late.
For this reason, Noda Gang, the captain of the 69th Japanese Army Regiment, was furious!
"Baga! We misjudged the enemy's strength, and even misjudged the enemy's motives, causing tens of thousands of enemy troops to run out of Lianyungang from under our noses. This is a shame that my 69th Regiment has never experienced! It is a shame that my great Japanese Empire has never experienced!"
"This time, all the officers and soldiers of our army will be blamed. We will completely become the laughing stock of the empire and be nailed to the pillar of shame forever!"
The anger of the team leader Nodagang is really hard to cover up!
The Japanese officers present were even more embarrassed and angry!
All of this can be said to be caused by their arrogance and frivolity.
If they used all their strength from the beginning, they would definitely be able to intercept our Zhongzhao team in Lianyungang, and they would be more likely to make great contributions and eliminate our army!
Not to mention the credit that they should have won, they will still have to bear the adverse consequences of the battle!
How could the captain of the regiment, Colonel Nodagang, not angry?
How could the Japanese officers present who claimed to be the elite of the empire not be ashamed and angry?
"Your Excellency the United Team Captain, we are to blame for this humiliation. I, Kumamoto Takuma, am willing to make meritorious contributions and lead my troops to pursue them. Even if I chase them to the ends of the world, I will definitely eliminate them all to wash away the shame of our United Team!"
"Your Excellency the United Captain, this is what it should be!"
"Although the enemy ran out of Lianyungang, we haven't run far yet. We will march with our army in Zaozhuang and Xuzhou, and we will definitely be able to wipe it out in one fell swoop!"
"Yes, although the cunning enemy can show off his momentary power, no matter how cunning the enemy is, facing the powerful military front of our army, as well as the entire Xuzhou and Zaozhuang, we can atone for our sins under the blockade of our army!"
Finally, the corps leader Noda Gang made the final decision and said in a deep voice: "Contact my army in Xuzhou and Zaozhuang immediately. At the same time, the main force of our corps will prepare immediately. In an hour, we will pursue the corps** team! Be sure to annihilate them all!"
"Hi!" The Japanese officers and soldiers answered in unison.
Chapter completed!
