Chapter 869
Zhao Zhiguo split a Japanese regiment in half without using a single soldier.
The Japanese commander pretended to be calm on the surface, but was already very panicked inside. He knew very well that it was impossible to find another road within one day, otherwise they would not have to build a plank road on the cliff.
The little devil also understood very well that since Zhao Zhiguo had taken action against them, he must have been prepared.
If half of their regiment cannot find a way out, they will inevitably be attacked by Zhao Zhiguo's troops.
However, the Japanese regiment leader underestimated Zhao Zhiguo's appetite. His target was not half of the Japanese regiment, but the entire Japanese regiment.
Half of the little devil's regiment was already trapped on the cliff side, and it was already the fat on Zhao Zhiguo's mouth.
If the Japanese troops of this regiment decisively choose to break through today, they still have a glimmer of hope.
They waited until they ran out of supplies before breaking out. Faced with being pursued and intercepted all the way, Zhao Zhiguo would not give them a chance to satisfy their hunger.
The Japs in half the regiment were already meat in the pot, so Zhao Zhiguo targeted the other half of the Japanese regiment.
If you want to kill the Japanese army, the most important thing is to cut off the enemy's retreat.
Although the Japanese army still has half its strength, its combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.
"Captain, why don't I stay with the troops? You only have one company of troops around you and there is no one to take care of you..." After Yao Pengju completed his mission, he took him to join Zhao Zhiguo.
Gao Cang led the main force to set up an ambush. According to the original plan, Yao Pengju was to lead his troops to Pingcheng.
Zhao Zhiguo and his company of soldiers had to deal with half the regiment of Japanese troops. They might fall into a ditch and be made dumplings by little Japanese soldiers.
If Zhao Zhiguo is in danger, all their plans will be ruined.
"Don't worry, I won't give the little devil a chance to catch me. Besides, I never like to do things like throwing eggs against stones."
"Why don't I ask Lao Qin to send another company over? At least we can cooperate with each other!"
Zhao Zhiguo nodded: "You have one more task when you go to Pingcheng, which is to monitor the Japanese army. Once you discover the Japanese army's movement, you will immediately send someone to inform Qin Dongsheng and let him be prepared."
Yao Pengju set off eastward with his troops. Their special forces team was very courageous.
Except for the Japanese commander, the little Japanese did not feel that danger was approaching them step by step.
Only the captain of the Little Japanese Army knew the information about Zhao Zhiguo and his troops. After dawn, he immediately put his troops into a defensive posture.
Although a mountain fire last night caused no casualties to the Japanese army, it burned a lot of Japanese army supplies.
While arranging their troops to deploy defenses, they were counting their supplies. Their soldiers carried sufficient ammunition, but there was no ammunition reserve.
The Japanese commander believed that as long as he stood firm, Zhao Zhiguo's troops would not be able to devour them in one day, no matter how good they were at fighting.
In one day, their reinforcements arrived, which was more than enough.
The captain of the Little Japanese Army believed that after Zhao Zhiguo dispersed their troops, he would definitely launch a strong attack on him.
However, bad news came one after another. Zhao Zhiguo led a company to attack the Japanese troops transporting supplies.
"Reporting to your Excellency, Wing Commander, one of our squadrons transporting supplies was ambushed two kilometers away and suffered heavy losses!"
The little devil's transport team unloaded the supplies near the highway, and soldiers stayed behind!
The Japanese brigade in charge of the rear sent a squadron of troops to deliver these supplies to the mountains every day to supply their troops.
"How are the supplies?"
In the view of the Little Japanese Captain, it is a trivial matter for hundreds and eighty soldiers to die.
The key is supplies!
Are they left to graze on the mountains and chew tree bark without supplies?
There was a fire last night, and not even the grass or bark was left to them.
And it’s not autumn or winter, so if you want to drink the northwest wind, you have to wait a few days.
"Materials...Materials..."
The little Japanese soldier stammered, and the Japanese commander's heart was in his throat.
Take a deep breath at this time. After this battle is over, we must find a signal soldier who doesn't stutter, otherwise he will have a heart attack.
"What happened to the supplies!"
The Japanese commander roared angrily.
"The supplies were all burned."
I almost had a heart attack, but now I feel out of breath.
"Your Excellency, Captain!"
The surrounding officers hurriedly gathered around, pinching those who needed to be pinched, and carrying water to those who needed to.
After a while, the Japanese commander came to his senses and said, "Zhao Zhiguo wants to starve us to death in the mountains. How many troops do they have?"
The purpose is obvious: to pay the maximum price for the Japanese army with the minimum effort.
"The soldiers who escaped said they only had one company, but they had fierce firepower."
"A company? The strength of a company of Zhao Zhiguo beat a squadron of ours to the point of being unable to fight back? Waste! A loser! Incompetent!"
The Japanese commander thought that the strength of his squadron was being attacked by more than ten times the enemy.
"Deploy additional troops and continue to transport supplies. I don't believe that Zhao Zhiguo dares to use a company of troops to ambush two of our squadrons!"
Their supplies must be protected.
If there is a large supply of supplies, they must retreat.
Their half of the regiment withdrew, and the remaining half of the regiment lost its safety guarantee.
"Your Excellency, Captain, what if Zhao Zhiguo hides his troops?"
So far, they don't have any information about Zhao Zhiguo's large army.
If they spread their troops out little by little, wouldn't they just let Zhao Zhiguo defeat them one by one?
"I know Zhao Zhiguo is very powerful, but are the troops of our two squadrons also vegetarian? Aren't they going to stand firm and wait for reinforcements?"
If a squadron is poorly prepared and is defeated by a company of Zhao Zhiguo's troops, appropriate reasons can be found.
However, even if the two squadrons were ambushed by a battalion of Zhao Zhiguo's troops, they could still hold on until their troops arrived to support them.
There was only one route for the Japanese army to transport supplies, and Zhao Zhiguo and the others were completely waiting.
However, Zhao Zhiguo did not expect the Japanese commander to be so bold.
As soon as the Japanese army encountered an ambush, they immediately dispatched troops and planned to continue to transport supplies.
"Captain, the Japanese troops are here again. There are about two squadrons of troops. Should we let them pass?"
"The geese are plucking their feathers, and the little devils are passing by. No matter what, we must leave them with a few lives. Remember, don't be reluctant to fight!"
No matter whether the little devil is going or coming back, what they have to do is to use all possible means to leave a hole in the little devil's body.
The two squadrons of the Little Devils passed by the place where the battle took place, and there were also the corpses of their soldiers and burned supplies.
"alert!"
A Japanese squadron leader gave the order, and then asked several soldiers to come forward to check the situation.
