Chapter 125 The choice between the dilemmas
The tactic of the bull, also known as the tactic of leading the bull's nose, refers to the use of bait on the enemy under unfavorable terrain or situation conditions, and turns the difficult-to-beat enemy into an easy-to-beat enemy under unfavorable terrain or situation conditions.
Target enemies in favorable situations into unfavorable situations, divide the powerful enemy into several sections and turn them into weak enemies, and then concentrate our elite forces and concentrate our efforts to annihilate the enemy.
Take advantage of the enemy's greed for victory, throw bait at it, and immediately attack after the enemy takes the bait. This is actually quite ancient tactic, but because it is extremely deceptive, it can often achieve good results in actual combat.
The one who is most skilled in playing this tactic is undoubtedly the commander of the Eighth Route Army who is in the northern War of Resistance. As a special officer trained by the Republic in later generations, Hu Biao naturally knew that if this tactic is used well, he could defeat the strong with the weak.
Several mortars were transferred from the Avenge Camp and carried out artillery bombardment not far from the Japanese troops, which angered the Japanese to send troops to encircle and suppress them. Then, they deliberately sent only one platoon of troops to lure the greedy Japanese to start a pursuit.
In the mountains, as long as you go around a few circles, the pursuit troops will be disconnected from the rear guard. This move can also be called luring the enemy into depth. Even if the Japanese react, they want to end the pursuit, they cannot retreat quickly.
The Japanese who lured into the mountain were divided into two parts. Even if there was a Japanese army not far away, the Japanese who were cut could no longer have the advantage of military strength against Hu Biao, so Hu Biao naturally had to bite hard.
Looking at the Japanese team in front of him who had been lured into the mountain and had already become dizzy, Hu Biao still arranged the guard platoon to take the lead, the other four combat platoons, one platoon was responsible for the periphery and blocking, and the other three platoons joined the encirclement and annihilation battle.
When the battle started, listening to the dense gunfire coming from all directions, the two Japanese squadron captains who were pursuing changed their faces instantly: "Baga! We have been fooled! This is the main force of the Chinese army, hurry up! Break through and break out of the mountain!"
"You can't break out! Look, they have formed a situation of encirclement on all sides. We must organize defensive counterattacks on the spot and wait for the subsequent troops to come for reinforcements. When the captain heard the gunshots, he would definitely send troops to support him!"
Faced with the sudden and huge change, the two squadron captains could not agree on their opinions. Fortunately, after some identification, the two finally reached a decision to fight back on the spot. The question is, how could Hu Biao give them a chance?
"Concentrate the grenade launcher and tap the grenades you carry as fast as possible. The rest of the platoons are ready for charge and melee!"
"Yes, battalion commander!"
The guard platoon soldiers stayed by Hu Biao quickly took off the grenade launcher he carried from his body. After more than a dozen grenade launchers were set up, grenades flew towards the Japanese in the ambush circle, and immediately bombed the Japanese and ran around.
At the same time, the three platoon leaders who cooperated with the battle commanded the soldiers to line up in a column, surrounding the three sides to reduce the Japanese's activity space. When the charge sounded, all the soldiers participating in the battle rushed down.
"Brothers, rush! Kill the Japanese!"
The guard platoon soldiers who rushed into the Japanese team first were undoubtedly better than the physical strength. Faced with the surviving Japanese, the guard platoon soldiers who were mostly kung fu were fighting with the Japanese.
Hu Biao, who has the best kung fu, holds a triangular bayonet in his left hand and a box cannon in his right hand. He often stabs the Japanese in the throat with a bayonet, and shoots and kills the Japanese in the attempt to shoot cold guns from time to time.
When the soldiers from the other three combat platoons rushed down the mountain, three of them surrounded and killed the Japanese. When a soldier was unfortunately stabbed by the Japanese, the soldiers who were stabbed also said bravely: "Brothers, avenge me!"
Holding the bayonet that pierced into the body with both hands, creating opportunities for the comrades around you. The result is obvious, how could the comrades around you not seize the opportunity for the comrades to sacrifice their lives to bury the Japanese?
He stabbed the rifle left and right, and watched the bayonet pierce into the Japanese devil's body, the soldiers did not forget to curse, "Little Japanese devil, cao, go to die!"
On the other hand, Hu Biao, who saw this scene, was excited and shouted directly: "Guard platoon! Use a pistol to solve the Japanese devils as soon as possible. The old rules are: I don't want to capture prisoners, kill all the Japanese devils!"
"Yes, battalion commander!"
Even if there were surviving Japanese devils, it was seen from Hu Biao's order that Hu Biao should be the commander. Just when they were trying to pull Hu Biao to bury him, how could the guards surrounding Hu Biao give them such a chance?
After throwing away the infantry with bayonets in his hand, the soldiers of the guard platoon took out box cannons from their waists. Two-gun generals like Xu Sandao even shot the Japanese with their bows left and right. Even if they were seriously injured, some soldiers came forward to finish the attack.
Seeing that the smoke of gunpowder had not yet dissipated and a bloody battlefield, Hu Biao quickly said: "Rescue the wounded! The seriously injured will be sent back to the camp for treatment immediately. The slightly injured soldiers will return to the garrison together. The rest clean the battlefield, hurry up!"
"Yes, battalion commander!"
Thinking of the doctors who lacked the skill of medical skills at the moment, some soldiers who had the opportunity to treat them often died because they could not receive timely treatment. Thinking of this, Hu Biao felt a little uncomfortable, but knew that he was unable to reverse the situation.
Although he can have some first aid on the battlefield, he has no experience in treating serious injuries. As a military commander, he cannot delay the ongoing battle to treat serious injuries.
What can be done is to use all the Western medicine purchased and robbed from Shanghai earlier to treat the seriously injured. Whether they can survive depends on the luck of the injured. For more, Hu Biao asked himself that he could do nothing.
A combat platoon was left to be responsible for the aftermath and cleaning the battlefield. Hu Biao immediately led the remaining troops to the mountains not far away. There was also a Japanese pursuit team there, waiting for Hu Biao and the others to annihilate it?
At this moment, the Japanese infantry captain who was still staying on the other side of the mountain, listened to the fierce firefighting sounds coming from the mountain, and his face changed a little: "No! Our troops are exchanging fire with the main force of the Chinese army! Hurry up, go to support immediately!"
Under his order, there were few troops around him and soon collectively dispatched to reinforcements. When they followed the route of searching for troops to reinforce, they found traces of people running everywhere in the mountains.
The most fatal thing is that the place where the fire exchange was obviously not far from them, but they just couldn't hear it. They originally planned to rush towards the direction where the gunfire came, but suddenly they saw the troops rushing in front were ambushed by thunder.
The explosion sounded, and the Japanese following immediately squatted down. After the explosion, the screams of several Japanese wounded soldiers ordered the Japanese brigade commander who ordered reinforcements soon realized that if this continued, I was afraid that the entire brigade would be wiped out.
"Baga! Didn't the reconnaissance force say that the main force of the Chinese army is staying in the mountains without any movement? Is the main force of the Chinese army now attacking now? The main force of the Chinese army that ambushed ours emerged from where?"
The Japanese squad leader, who was originally ordered to restrain the troops of the avenge camp, never expected that when the troops entered the mountain, they would encounter harassment, ambush or even shelling one after another. This feeling seemed like he was clearly here to fight for soybeans, but instead became the protagonist of the battlefield.
Seeing that the road ahead was blocked, the Japanese brigade commander immediately ordered the troops to choose another way to continue to rush for reinforcements. As a result, it was obvious that after walking for a while, the Japanese devils, who were responsible for exploring the way, were ambushed by thunder again, and the troops had to stop advancing again.
Before they arrived at the battlefield, the originally fierce gunfire in front seemed to have quickly calmed down. The Japanese infantry captain who was rushing to reinforce immediately signaled the troops to stop advancing and said hesitantly: "Is the battle over?"
From the calmed gunfire, it is not difficult to hear that the battle ahead has ended. In such a short time, who is the winner? Although many Japanese officers were unwilling to believe in their inner answer, they roughly guessed what the answer was.
A captain who was staying next to the Japanese captain also said at the right time: "Captain, in this situation, we cannot be led by the other party anymore. I think whether to send someone down the mountain, and ask the captain for tactical guidance!"
"Baga! An infantry brigade enters the mountain and is responsible for the task. But now, more than half of the brigade has suffered casualties. But what about our enemy? I haven't even seen the body of a Chinese soldier. How do you ask me to ask for tactical guidance?"
"Captain, we don't know the situation of the second, third and fourth squadrons. Continue to move forward rashly, and you may encounter an ambush. Can you send a team to find the troops entering the mountain and let them retreat and meet with us?"
The scolded captain did not dare to ask for tactical guidance anymore, and could only suggest that the troops that had been scattered and pursued were retrieved. Sending a search team into the mountain just to recall the troops that were pursuing, the risk should not be significant.
But there was still an officer saying, "If you send the team out, there will be not many troops around us!"
"But in this situation, do we have more choices? Don't forget that it's not too long before dark. If we can't leave before dark, we must stay in the mountains overnight.
Now in this weather, it will definitely be very cold to spend the night in the mountains. When we entered the mountains early, we did not bring any necessary camping equipment. Without tents and quilts, how can the soldiers rest at night?"
The captain did not say anything else, but officers, including the captain, knew that the captain was worried very well. In order to reclaim the dispatched troops as much as possible, the Japanese captain quickly adopted the captain's suggestion.
Unfortunately, not long after the search team was sent out, fierce gunfire and explosions came again in the mountains on the other side. Compared to hearing the exchange of fire before, the Japanese brigade captain tried to send troops to support him, but this time the Japanese brigade captain was very quiet.
Perhaps the captain had realized that the dispatched troops would be difficult to come back. What he had to do next was to lead the remaining troops out of the mountains, or choose to live and die with other missing troops!
And this is undoubtedly another dilemma!
