Chapter 500 Opposition Action
But soon, the signalman ran over with an anxious look on his face.
"Boss, something bad has happened! Xiao Liangcai and his men have been surrounded by the Japanese!"
"what?!"
Those people who had just been complaining in low voices that they had not been able to work together to rob the Japanese supply team now had their eyes wide open and their mouths opened, and some even had cold sweats on their backs.
Damn, it’s a good thing I didn’t follow them to rob the baggage train, otherwise I would have been doomed.
Yuan Shuai is really smart, he can even figure this out!
Before, almost everyone was disappointed and even resentful that General Yuan did not allow them to rob the baggage train.
And now, everyone understands.
Yuan Shuai guessed the Japs' plan correctly, and it was Yuan Shuai who saved them once again.
Otherwise, once their people fell into the Japanese ambush, no one would be able to come back.
"Boss, Xiao Liangcai has already sent a message for help, let's quickly find a way to save him!"
The signalman's words made everyone look at Yuan Shuai.
Xiao Liangcai helped their Black Tiger Village fight the Japanese invaders, so of course they couldn't just sit back and watch.
Yuan Shuai did not answer, but asked the signalman instead.
"Where are they?"
"Wild Dog Charge!"
"How many devils are there?"
"I guess it's a team!"
Yuan Shuai pointed to the sand table map and said.
"Yegouchong is more than 40 kilometers away from us. Xiao Liangcai only has about 200 people, while the Japanese have more than 1,000. Ladies and Gentlemen, the number of Japanese is five times that of Xiao Liangcai. And they are surrounded. Huzi, if it were your 200 people in Yegouchong and were surrounded by 1,000 Japanese, how long could you hold out?"
Hu Zi said awkwardly.
"It's not easy to fight the Wild Dogs here. If two hundred people go down the hill to attack the convoy and get ambushed by the Japanese, once the Japanese have deployed light and heavy machine guns, grenade launchers and mortars on the hillsides on both sides of the road, even the two hundred people I have now probably won't be able to hold out for two hours!"
"Zhao Zilong, how long can you hold on?"
Yuan Shuai asked again.
"It should be able to hold out for two hours. If the Japanese use cannon fodder to cover us, we probably won't be able to hold out for an hour! Because there are rice fields on both sides of the road, it is relatively open. Once light and heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, and mortars are set up on the surrounding hillsides, it is almost impossible for people who enter the road to survive!"
"Two hours! We are more than 40 miles away from Wild Dog Rush. Even if we march quickly, it will take four hours. Do you think we can make it?"
Yuan Shuai’s words made everyone look disappointed.
However, Zhao Ying'er yelled while gritting her teeth.
"Xiao Liangcai helped our Black Tiger Village fight the Japanese before. We can't just stand by and watch him die!"
"That's right, if we can save as many people as possible, then we'll save them. If we don't, who will help our Black Tiger Village fight the Japanese in the future?"
Several officers from the Black Tiger Camp started shouting.
Even Zhao Dalei couldn't help but speak.
"Ying'er and the others are right. No matter what, we have to go and save them!"
Yuan Shuai stretched out his hand to stop the shouting and continued.
"If the Japanese really wanted to wipe out all of Xiao Liangcai's men, they should have used dense artillery fire at this time. But listen carefully, are the gunfire sounds in the distance dense?"
Hearing this, everyone listened carefully to the sound in the distance.
After all, it was only more than 40 kilometers away. They could hear the sound of mortar and infantry artillery bombardments in the distance, and there were many of them.
But now, although the mortars and infantry guns are still firing, the intervals between them are quite long.
Yuan Shuai took a long breath and continued.
"Either Xiao Liangcai and his men have been killed, or the Japanese are just surrounding us without attacking!"
"Besiege but not attack? What does that mean?"
Someone in the crowd asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"They are playing the long game to catch the big fish, and you here are the big fish they want to catch!"
"At this time, the Japanese may have already set up an ambush on the road. Once we go over to support them, we will fall into the Japanese ambush circle! At that time, not only will we not be able to save people, but more people will die!"
"But we can't just stand by and watch someone die!"
Zhao Dalei frowned.
After all, this is not a matter of face, it is a matter of trust.
If they don't go to support, how will others view the Black Tiger Village in the future?
Say they are ungrateful and did not help others in need!
They say they are greedy for life and afraid of death, and have no moral principles...
If the Black Tiger Camp encounters trouble again in the future, there will still be a few people who dare to come and support them.
Yuan Shuai pointed at the map and said.
"We must save people, but we need a strategy! If we want to rescue people, we will definitely not go the front way, which is something the Japanese can guess, so... the Japanese will definitely ambush us in the direction of Yegouchong. If we want to save people, we can't go the front way."
"The Japanese will also think of this problem, so in addition to arranging people on the front, there will definitely be people on the two wings. What's more, the right wing is originally a Japanese-occupied area. Although we looted Pingyuan City, the Japanese will soon move into Pingyuan City. At this time, it is estimated that there are already Japanese soldiers defending Pingyuan City."
"So, we can only attack Pingyuan City now. As long as the devils come to support us, our people will have a chance to go over and rescue them!"
"But if that happens, the Japanese in Zhenlongkou may take the opportunity to attack our Black Tiger Village! At that time, we will be in a very passive position, so you'd better think carefully!"
After saying that, Yuan Shuai didn't say anything else. He just stood next to the sandbox map, smoking silently.
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Zhao Dalei.
Zhao Dalei said while gritting his teeth.
"We must rescue the people. Let's follow your plan. Leave troops to guard the Black Tiger Camp, send people to feint an attack on Pingyuan City, and then dispatch cavalry to rescue them! General Yuan, I still want you to command this battle!"
After saying this, Zhao Dalei looked at Yuan Shuai with pleading eyes.
Yuan Shuai exhaled a puff of smoke sadly.
"I'm afraid many people will die in this battle!"
"We are not afraid of death!"
"Well, the ultimate goal of the devils should not be the reinforcements we sent out, but our Black Tiger Village. Therefore, the devils may have gathered a large number of troops in Zhenlongkou, but we just didn't notice it!"
"That's impossible! We've been keeping an eye on Zhenlongkou, and there are no Japanese coming on the road!"
Hu Zi immediately retorted.
Yuan Shuai smiled faintly.
"Just because they didn't come doesn't mean we have to reach Zhenlongkou. They have been hiding in the woods behind Zhenlongkou. They won't come out until we set out! Or maybe at night! So, I will stay to guard the Black Tiger Village, the Hongfei Group will stay, and you guys can make arrangements for the rest. After all, I don't recommend fighting this battle!"
Zhao Dalei was also worried that the Black Tiger Village would be attacked by someone, so he said helplessly.
"Zilong leads the team to feint and attack Pingyuan City, while Huzi leads two hundred cavalry to rescue people!"
Yuan Shuai could only pat Hu Zi's shoulder and said.
"Be careful, if something goes wrong, retreat immediately!"
