Chapter 608 Why not a sneak attack
Chapter 608 Why not a sneak attack
Yuan Shuai and others ran for a while and saw that there were no birds flying above the woods in the distance, so they stopped quickly.
Then, Yuan Shuai quickly climbed up a big tree and looked at the situation in the distance with a telescope.
The terrain here is higher than that of the Japanese and puppet troops.
From a distance, through the telescope and the dense branches, I could vaguely see the Japanese and puppet soldiers sitting on the ground eating, and Yuan Shuai was shouting towards the tree.
"The Japanese puppet army has stopped to eat, let's take a rest too!"
Yuan Shuai and others are not robots. They have been fighting and running all day. The brothers are so tired that their clothes are soaked with sweat.
The group quickly sat down against a big tree, took out their kettles and cans and started eating and drinking.
However, Yuan Shuai did not come down.
In order to observe the movements of the Japanese, he sat on the tree.
They even sit on trees to eat and drink.
"Boss, do you think the Japanese puppet troops will go back?"
While chewing on the canned meat, Little Sweet Potato raised his head and stretched his neck to look at the Marshal in the tree.
"No! Since so many Japanese soldiers have come, they must be here to kill us. They will never give up easily! Besides, this place is so far from the road, the Japanese soldiers will not withdraw easily! In a few hours, it will be dark! Xiaogang, contact Jack and Du Dafeng and ask about the situation over there!"
"Yeah! Du Dafeng has no problem, but the pretty boy doesn't understand what I'm saying!"
Tie Xiaogang smiled while eating.
"Contact Du Dafeng first!"
"okay!"
Tie Xiaogang quickly contacted Du Dafeng via radio.
At this time, Tie Xiaogang had already seen that the puppet soldiers responsible for forward reconnaissance had been killed by Jack and others.
But the puppet troops and Japanese soldiers behind did not move forward after hearing the gunshots.
Because the guns used by Jack and others were British guns.
When the Japanese squadron leader heard the sound, he felt something was wrong.
For safety reasons, the Japanese squadron leader did not let the team chase after them.
Instead, let the team continue to stay where they are and rest.
After receiving the news, Tie Xiaogang quickly reported the situation to the marshal on the tree.
Yuan Shuai chewed the canned meat while thinking and didn't say anything.
Hu Dacai reminded.
"Boss, I guess the Japs over there may not continue to pursue us! Let's see if the Japs over here will continue to pursue us!"
"Yes! We have consumed a lot of artillery shells today. Inform them that if the Japanese puppet army does not pursue us, let Du Dafeng go to Jack's place to join us before dark! We will go there later!"
"As for the devils here, we have to lead them for a walk to further deplete their physical strength!"...
Sure enough, after finishing their meal, the Japanese puppet troops over there still did not continue the pursuit, but stayed where they were.
The Japanese puppet troops here continued to pursue in the same direction after taking a short rest after their meal.
However, the puppet army still sent a squad of scouts to continue to lead the way.
Let the artillery be in the middle of the team, and the Japanese troops continue to press behind.
Yuan Shuai originally wanted to take his men to launch a surprise attack on the puppet army's artillery, but now the puppet army's artillery was still in the middle of the team, so they could only continue to circle the woods with the Japanese and puppet army.
Finally, it got dark.
The Japs were so exhausted before dark that they had to stop, find a place to set up camp and light a bonfire.
However, the Japs were also very cunning. They had the puppet army set up defensive positions on the periphery and hid the puppet army's artillery company in a place where there were no fires.
Because they were worried that Yuan Shuai and others' mortars would bombard the fire.
In that case, their artillery would counterattack immediately.
Similarly, the Japanese and puppet troops on the other side did the same.
The two Japanese squadron leaders had the same idea.
Everyone thought that Yuan Shuai’s team would launch a sneak attack.
Yuan Shuai ignored the puppet troops and devils in the devil's third squadron, and instead led his men back to Jack to reunite with the team.
At this time, Wang Shuncheng's team had also joined the artillery.
Soldiers from all teams have gathered here.
However, in order to avoid being discovered by the Japanese, the artillery had dug a number of smokeless stoves in the woods, burning fires to dry wet clothes and heat dry food.
Seeing Yuan Shuai coming back, everyone here breathed a sigh of relief.
For them at this moment, Yuan Shuai is their boss, the highest leader of their team, and their backbone.
Even Jack hummed with excitement.
"Boss, you're finally back. We've been waiting for you for a long time. Here, have something hot first!"
As he spoke, Jack handed the heated can to Yuan Shuai.
Other artillerymen also handed the hot cans to Yuan Shuai's brothers.
Yuan Shuai and others did not hesitate to take the hot cans, opened the lids and started eating.
"Boss, the devils have been tired for so long today, and night is a good opportunity for a surprise attack! We just need to arrange for people to get close, and then cover them with artillery fire, and we should be able to kill the devils and puppet troops here!"
Jack looked at Yuan Shuai happily.
After all, they now have 8 artillery pieces, which are enough to provide artillery coverage for the Japs and puppet troops.
Yuan Shuai said while eating.
"It's a good idea! However, if you can think of it, the Japanese can definitely think of it too! Besides, the visibility is poor at night. If there are not many people around the campfire, we will not only waste a lot of shells, but also be easily surrounded by them!"
Hearing the first sentence, Jack smiled even more proudly, but when he heard the second sentence, he curled his lips in embarrassment and said.
"No way, how could they know we were going to attack them by surprise!"
"Don't treat the devils as fools. Not only are they not fools, they are also very cunning! So, let's rest tonight! During the day, they will definitely gather together to light a fire and eat! Then it won't be too late for us to bomb them again! Besides, our mission is to delay these devils and let Hamigua and others reach the prisoner-of-war camp as soon as possible and rescue the prisoners!"
"Go contact Hami Melon and see what's going on over there!"
"Ok!"
Jack nodded and quickly asked the signalman to contact Hamimel.
By this time, Han Migua was already close to the prisoner-of-war camp.
The prisoner-of-war camp was located in a prison cell on the outskirts of the county town.
This cell was originally a prison cell in Myitkyina. After the Japanese occupied this place, they used it as a prisoner-of-war camp.
There were more than 500 prisoners in the prisoner-of-war camp.
Every day some people would be dragged out and forced to escape, becoming mobile targets for the Japanese army to shoot.
Some were used as living targets by the Japanese army in bayonet fights.
There were originally more than 800 people in this prisoner-of-war camp, but now only more than 500 are left after being killed.
Among these more than 500 people, more than half were British troops and more than 100 were national troops.
However, the county town also had a regiment of puppet troops, a squadron of Japanese soldiers, an infantry machine gun squadron of Japanese soldiers, an anti-aircraft anti-aircraft machine gun squadron, a field artillery heavy squadron with 4 75 field guns, and an infantry artillery squadron with 4 infantry guns.
The puppet army also had a 6-gun mortar company and an anti-aircraft machine gun company.
After surveying the situation of the troops here, Hami melon didn't dare to enter the city.
