Chapter 114: The whole army retreats
Suzuki Daisa is still running wild, the current situation is enough to make him crazy, Akiyama Yoshiyoshi lost thousands of men and horses, and he used poison gas and suffered heavy losses, but the positions of these two regiments still have not been captured, and he swore in front of Yoshizumi Ryosuke that he would not come back if he could not capture it.

But now the position has not been captured, a brigade has been completely annihilated, the rescue force has basically been wiped out, and Yang Hongyuan's regiment has also lost most of the troops and been beaten back.
The most serious thing is that almost all the artillery of their wing was destroyed by the accurate suppressive artillery fire of the 60th Army, which also meant that it was difficult for them to have strong artillery support for a long time.
Just when Suzuki Dazuo was walking violently, Lu Hai picked up the 38 rifle in his hand and aimed at it, this Suzuki Dazuo was about 400 meters away from them, but the effective range of the 38 Dagai was above 500, so although this distance was difficult for Lu Hai, who was born in the infantry department, it was not as big as he imagined.
And the most difficult thing is that this Suzuki Osa has been walking around the field quickly, and it is not easy to shoot at such a long distance, after all, it is not fatal with one shot, and it is difficult for Suzuki to shoot if he is prepared.
At this time, Suzuki Osa in the field was still running wild, trying to think about how he should save the defeat, otherwise he could only commit suicide or have a disembowelment.
Coincidentally, at this moment, more than 100 Japanese troops who had retreated came to Suzuki Osa's place to report the battle situation, and a squadron leader of the Japanese army ran over with a disgraced face and said: "Osa, the artillery fire of the Shina army is fierce, and our army has suffered heavy casualties and can't rush through at all!"
Suzuki Osa snorted coldly and stopped his steps and scolded: "A bunch of waste, the Chinese army can hold up under such fierce artillery fire from our army, why can't you?" ”
Saying that, Suzuki Osa suddenly took out his pistol and pointed it at the Japanese squadron leader and said, "Your improper command has caused hundreds of my imperial warriors to suffer heavy losses, so I will give the warriors an explanation!" ”
Saying that, Suzuki Osa was about to shoot, and the squadron leader who was pointed at also changed his face and was about to open his mouth to beg for mercy, but at this moment, a cloud of blood mist suddenly burst out of Suzuki Osa's head, and his body fell down.
It was at this moment, and at this moment, that a gunshot finally rang out on the hillside in the distance.
Lu Hai, who had just finished putting the gun, hurriedly aimed and pulled the trigger, and the Japanese squadron leader in front of Suzuki Osa burst out a cloud of blood mist and fell, after doing this, Lu Hai hurriedly said: "Quickly retreat!" ”
In their panic, the Japanese did not determine where the gun came from, and they could not find the location of the shooter in the dense forest all around, so they fired indiscriminately into the forest.
In this way, Lu Hai and the others quickly withdrew from the territory of the Japanese army and hurried towards their own territory.
An hour later, Lu Hai, who had returned to the position, went straight to the brigade headquarters and said: "Brigade commander, the supreme commander of the Japanese army has been killed by me, but I don't understand why we were suddenly recalled"?
Wan Baobang laughed and said, "Okay! Okay, that's a great credit, I'll personally write a report to the commander and ask for credit for you! As for why we retreated, it was because our second line of defense had already been built, and Deputy Army Commander Zhang decided to let us withdraw to the second line to lure the enemy into a deep attack, and in order to prevent us from withdrawing and leaving you behind, we had to let you come back."
Lu Hai also understood the intention of retreating after listening to Wan Baobang's explanation, and then said: "When will you withdraw?"
Wan Baobang said: "After 8 o'clock this evening, we will withdraw from our positions on time."
"But it's only 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and if the Japanese army comes to attack us again, won't we lose our eyes?" Chen Liang said worriedly.
"Probably not, we have suffered heavy losses from them, even if we send troops and horses in a short period of time, we can't do it, so we just need to guard to the death!" Wan Baobang said.
"Alright, you can go down to the battlefield to help, and bring everything you can use." Wan Baobang said.
"Yes"!
After leaving the brigade headquarters Luhai, they came to the forward position, at this time everyone on the forward position was busy repairing the fortifications and collecting ammunition, and without exception, the 60th Army did something enough to make the Japanese army angry.
The Japanese troops who were annihilated on the position were stripped of their clothes and thrown at the front of the position, and a few wooden boards were written: "Wako Ten Thousand Graves"!
At the same time, the weapons and ammunition left over by the Japanese army have been collected, and the accuracy of the Belgian 79 rifle of the Dian Army is also very good and it is better than the formal rifle in comparison, but there are also great drawbacks, that is, the length of the 79 rifle is even a few points shorter than the formal onet, and the French bayonet is not too easy to use, but the Japanese army's 38 cover is the longest rifle at that time, and the accuracy of the 38 cover is higher, and the range is relatively long.
In addition, Yuwangshan was captured during the battle, and now the manpower is basically replaced with a 38 cover, the length of the 38 cover plus the length of the bayonet is close to two meters, which can be said to be very advantageous in white-knuckle warfare, but there is also a drawback that the bullets of the 38 cover are used by the Japanese army, and China's arsenal of all countries has no bullet supply, so their bullet supply can only rely on capture.
The corpses of the Japanese soldiers were all searched, including dry food and ammunition in their hands, and even geisha matches and cigarettes.
After collecting these ammunition, after they sat on the forward position to reinforce, Zeng Zesheng personally called Zhang Chong and said: "Deputy commander, do you still have explosives?" I want to put explosives on the positions after we withdraw from them, and wait for the Japanese to come up and give them some cruelty."
Zhang Chong frowned and said: "The explosives are almost used, and the insufficient quantity will not make any difference, but you can make some traps for them or something, can they kill one and count one?"
Zeng Zesheng said: "Okay! We're going to play some traps and stuff for them, and let them know that even if we withdraw from this position, we will pay a price if we want to step on it"!
At this moment, Xue Zizheng walked over and said with a smile: "Speaking of traps, I have a good idea, you can use this method to set traps."
Zhang Chong smiled and handed over the phone, Xue Zizheng picked it up and said, "Is there any bamboo near you?"
Zeng Zesheng frowned and thought for a while: "There are bamboos, but they are all bamboos."
"You go and cut some bamboo, bury it in the soil, put a nail underneath, put a bullet on it, as long as the Japanese army steps on it, it is not a waste leg, but also the soles of the feet are pierced, as for the trap and the like, you don't need us to teach you, right?" Xue Zizheng said with a smile.
Zeng Zesheng was overjoyed and said: "The chief of staff's method is good, it is equivalent to a single mine, as long as the little devil steps on it, it is equivalent to us shooting him from the sole of the foot, and I will arrange for the brothers to do it!"
Put down the phone, Zeng Zesheng's order also came down, that is, he tried his best to set traps on the second-line and third-line positions, and ordered people to go to the mountains and forests not far away to cut bamboo.
For a while, the entire position was also very busy, and Yang Hongyuan's regiment also began to set traps under Zeng Zesheng's idea.
The people pulled out the nails used to stabilize the trenches and put them in bamboo tubes, and then nailed the bullets to the nails and buried them in the important aisles in various places, and in some places they were dug more than half a person's deep pits, and the sharpened bamboo was inserted into them, and after being spread with broken bamboo strips, they were spread out with hay and then put on a thin layer of soil.
Similarly, Zeng Zesheng's regimental headquarters were set up with traps, which were to put grenades on both sides and connect them with ropes, and once the Japanese troops tripped on the ropes, the grenades would be sounded.
The preparations continued until six o'clock in the evening, when everyone on the position was having dinner, and in two hours they could be withdrawn, and then the two armies would play a guerrilla war with the Japanese army.
In fact, since Xue Zizheng and others came, the 60th Army did not fight hard with the Japanese army instead of other units, but adopted guerrilla tactics.
At this time, there were thousands of improvised bullet mines on the battlefield, and there were not a few traps, after dinner, Li Zuo got up and said: "Brothers, salute like dead brothers"!
Everyone stood up and looked at a depression at the bottom of the mountain and raised their hands to salute, where thousands of their comrades-in-arms were buried.
War has made people accustomed to life and death, and even numb to life and death, but so many brothers will not feel good if they lie here forever, and some soldiers have even left tears.
Clear tears slid down the black cheeks full of gunsmoke, knowing that these tears were also dark and cloudy...
"Sing the military song"!
The crowd opened their voices and sang the military song of the 60th Army, and looked at the dead brothers from afar and sang the military song.
The sunset is like blood, and the majestic military song of the 60th Army and the march of the volunteers echo on the hillside for a long time, paying tribute to the heroic souls who died in battle, swearing their determination to resist the war, and also calling for the soul of the Chinese army, which has been numb for a hundred years!
Eight o'clock in the evening. It was completely dark, Zeng Zesheng's regiment and Yang Hongyuan's regiment retreated in an orderly manner, and came to their second line of defense through two mountains, which was full of high mountains and dense forests, and there was a three-meter-wide road below, and the bend of the road was the position of Yang Hongyuan's regiment.
At this time, Zeng Zesheng's regiment was stationed on the hillside one kilometer away from Yang Hongyuan's regiment, they had no position and no fortifications, and the remaining 800 soldiers of the whole regiment were ambushed in the forest, and their task was to respond to Yang Hongyuan's regiment and strike at the flank and tail of the Japanese army!
At 11 o'clock in the evening, the Japanese army saw that the daytime was not effective, so they simply mobilized their troops to attack at night, and when the strength of a large Japanese army touched the positions of the two regiments, they found that the troops who had fought with them to the end had quietly withdrawn!
Many Japanese soldiers breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, this Chinese army finally couldn't resist and retreated, and a Japanese soldier suddenly straightened up and took a step forward, and at his feet was an ambushed rifle bullet... (To be continued.) )
