It was completely dark, and Kato Kazuki kept walking back and forth in his headquarters.
He also did not expect that a simple encirclement and suppression battle would turn out like this. He even felt in a dilemma. Although his troops were surrounded outside, he was not really sure.
After getting Zhang Mangui's suggestion, he was still very satisfied, and immediately ordered Zhang Mangui to prepare. But he has already emphasized that he must come back before dark, and he doesn't know if the Eighth Route Army inside the encirclement will break out after dark.
But now the sun has already set, and Kato Kazuki did not wait for Zhang Mangui's return.
"Is there any news about Captain Zhang?" When he saw a person walking in from outside, he immediately asked.
"Reporting to Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, I have sent people to search nearby, but we did not find Captain Zhang and his men. During our search, we found that the nearby villages are empty. Captain Zhang is likely to go to a further village .¡±
At the original time. Kato Kazuki was not overly worried. It was not easy for Zhang Mangui to take people to kidnap some ordinary people. But when it was getting dark, Kato Kazuki was already a little anxious before waiting for anyone, so he sent people to look around.
The subordinates searched the vicinity, but found that there was no one at all, and were afraid that Kato Kazuki would be in a hurry, so they came back to report. At least Zhang Mangui was not seen near them.
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Kato Kazuki nodded. There is a war here, and it is normal for the people in the nearby villages to flee. Zhang Mangui couldn't find the common people nearby, so he had to go further afield, which was also a matter of course.
But his idea only existed for a moment, and then he immediately denied it.
If it is normal, then this kind of speculation is not a problem, but now it is not the usual state at all. Now they face a most cunning opponent. Although it is said that the village is surrounded by many Eighth Route Army, are all the Eighth Route Army in the encirclement? Are there any small units of the Eighth Route Army that have been active outside? Have they killed Zhang Mangui outside?
With the experience of the previous two times, Kato Kazuki had to make the worst consideration at this time. Like the cavalry brigade and artillery brigade, Zhang Mangui's people probably disappeared as well. If this is the case, it means that it is impossible for him to use the tactics mentioned by Zhang Mangui, at least temporarily.
So what should he do? If you want to guard against the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack from outside, do you need to evacuate all the people who surrounded the village?
This idea existed in my mind for a moment, and then it was denied by Kato Kazuki, absolutely not. Even if there is a small group of Eighth Route Army cavalry outside, the number will definitely not be particularly large. They have several infantry brigades, and they are firmly surrounded here, so there can be no accidents.
They don't have to worry about the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army outside making trouble, but they have to worry about the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army inside breaking through. Especially, there will definitely be a big battle tonight.
Thinking of this, he said to his men: "Everyone be on alert. The Eighth Route Army may break out at night. As long as you hear movement inside, open fire immediately."
He has no other choice but to persevere. If the Eighth Route Army wants to break through tonight, it will be a tough battle. The Eighth Route Army launched a general offensive.
Thinking of this, he regretted a little. If he had known that it would be like this, then he would not have to hesitate at all, and immediately asked Binjiang for help. If this is the case, the reinforcements will probably arrive by now.
It was already getting late when he asked for help, and now he has to wait for the reinforcements to arrive, probably tomorrow. This night will be very difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, they must hold on here.
The night is getting darker. On the Eighth Route Army's position outside Li Laozhuo's village, except for a few people left to watch the devils outside, most of the people were lying in the trenches and fell asleep.
Sun Desheng was also asleep in a dilapidated room in the village. It's just outside his house, Lei Biao still can't sleep.
Lei Biao couldn't figure it out. Under the current situation, how could Sun Desheng still sleep soundly inside? Their Eighth Route Army Independent Cavalry Regiment is surrounded by little devils here, how come they are not afraid at all? During the day, they had already dealt the little devil the heaviest blow. Now that it was night, they had already completed their mission, and it was said that it would be best to break out as soon as possible while the night was dark.
butIt was the Eighth Route Army that did not retreat, and Sun Desheng seemed to be sticking here.
If the terrain here is dangerous, such as some bearded cottages, and you can stick to it, then that's fine. The problem is that this place is in a plain area, and there is no danger at all. As soon as the kid's artillery comes, fire on their village, even if they want to fight back. Then you will also suffer a great loss.
What cards do the Eighth Route Army have? Now Lei Biao can only fantasize like this. According to the news from the superiors, it is indeed an Eighth Route Army cavalry regiment, so there will not be more people. They must have some powerful weapons, right? It is estimated that there will be more people waiting for the little devils to come, and with a bang, all the little devils will be blown to death?
Lei Biao couldn't sleep. The devils outside them couldn't sleep even more. According to common experience, tonight, the Eighth Route Army inside the encirclement will definitely break through. They're going to have a tough fight, so they're just waiting outside.
Time passed little by little, one minute, two minutes, ten minutes. Half an hour, an hour. The devil's commanders kept looking at their luminous watches. From six or seven o'clock after dark to 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, there was no movement in the encirclement, and they even heard the sound of some people snoring. The snoring was so loud that it could be heard from far away.
The Eighth Route Army must have a conspiracy! Kato Kazuki didn't sleep either, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said to his subordinates, "Be vigilant, the Eighth Route Army will definitely break through in the middle of the night."
The appearances made by the Eighth Route Army inside were clearly intended to paralyze them. Kato Kazuki would not be fooled, he believed in his own judgment.
All the little devils kept their eyes open, looking at the Eighth Route Army inside the encirclement. There was no movement inside, and they were not harassed by the small Eighth Route Army cavalry outside.
They didn't even know what the conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army they were waiting for was. By the time they know it, it already means that their end is coming. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
