Chapter Seventy-Seven: Observing Each Other

Kobayashi Osawan never imagined that an ordinary retreat would evolve into what it is now. Behind him was Sun Tongxuan's three divisions swept in three ways, and directly in front of the troops was Zhengzhou City, which the imperial army had taken with great effort!

Sun Tongxuan planned to take advantage of the victory to pursue Zhengzhou in one fell swoop, so as to capture Zhengzhou City. It's no secret anymore, Kobayashi Daizo has already seen it. But what's the use of seeing it? Does he dare to stop? Don't say stop, just run slower, Sun Tongxuan's tens of thousands of troops can eat him without even slag!

What to do? While running, Kobayashi Dazuo was thinking like a river and a sea in his heart, and finally he turned his heart sideways and simply reported it to the top, whether he was dead or alive and handed it over to General Liden!

Liden Xingyi's reply came soon, and as expected, the general ordered Kobayashi Daizuo: immediately stop retreating, organize troops to defend on the spot, and be sure to block Sun Tongxuan's army under Zhengzhou City!

Xiao Lin looked at it, yes, this is planning to let me die outside the city? Death is death, who let us live badly, and we deserve this catastrophe in our lives? Kobayashi Osa gave an order according to the general's intentions: the troops stopped advancing and dug trenches on the spot to organize defense! He didn't say stop retreating, but stopped advancing, which can be regarded as a kind of command art. It seems that moving forward is a little more morale-boosting than retreating.

"Your Excellency Dasa, Your Excellency! The people of China, the army of China have caught up! The adjutant ran over in a panic to report that Kobayashi Osa had bad news.

So fast? Xiao Lin was taken aback, and ran to a small high slope to watch with his adjutant and a group of staff officers and guards. At a glance, sure enough, there was an army behind that was quickly chasing after him, and his rear troops had already exchanged fire with this enemy army! Kobayashi Dazuo's heart trembled, and he raised his binoculars to look carefully, the number of chasing soldiers was not much, about one or two hundred.

After seeing the number of pursuers, Kobayashi got angry! Wow, you don't treat the village chief as a cadre too much, do you? A small army of one or two hundred people would dare to attack one of my infantry wings? Beat! Order the rearguard brigade to immediately organize a counterattack and defeat the arrogance of the pursuers! Destroy this small army that doesn't know the height of the sky!

Kobayashi Daisa's order was quickly transmitted to the rear guard brigade, and the captain of the devil brigade immediately complied with the order to send troops to counterattack, and stopped the pursuers in the past.

The troops that can even chase so fast are of course not ordinary troops, this is the second company of the Flying Tiger Battalion, the troops of Fu Erchong. Fu Erchong was ordered to pursue, and the second company commander was afraid that he would lose the devil, so he hurried all the way and finally caught the devil here. Unexpectedly, the devil actually turned his head and hit a rake, and when he came over, he exchanged fire with his second company.

Of course, Fu Erchong is not afraid of war, and the devil is just right when he comes! Fu Erchong led his troops to meet the devil and collided, and the two sides collided with passion and gunfire. After a fight, Company Commander Fu led the troops and retreated.

Fu Erchong has a big temper, but he is not stupid, just with his second company, how can it be possible to defeat the devil in a wing? His task is to pursue, all the way into Zhengzhou City! Since the devil can't stop, then let's wait, and when the devil leaves, we'll continue to chase.

What if the devil doesn't leave? If you don't go, we still have a big army behind us. Not to mention the Flying Tiger Battalion, the three divisions of the Twelfth Army are also behind. No matter how powerful the devil's wing is, once it is surrounded by these three divisions, it will definitely be a death! No matter how he fights, the victory ticket is in his hands, if Fu Erchong doesn't know how to fight this battle, then he is not worthy of being the main company commander of this Flying Tiger Battalion.

Sure enough, Fu Er rushed back and retreated, and the devil immediately stopped and began to retreat. When they retreated to a certain distance from their main force, they dug trenches and built fortifications in the same place, and the devils planned to fight a positional battle.

Although the two sides of the battle are opponents, they are actually quite curious about each other. Kobayashi Dazuo knew that he was going up the high slope to observe the pursuers, and of course Fu Erchong also wanted to see the level of the devil's reality. There was no high slope on his side, so Fu Erchong stood on the stone mill in the wheat field and looked at the devil. This look, heh, there are really a lot of people, and the mountains are full of devil soldiers. His two hundred or so people really can't get people.

Wait! Fu Erchong moved the telescope, and suddenly found a group of devils standing on a small dirt slope in front of him, looking at the way they talked and laughed and pointed out the country, it must be an officer. Maybe it's still the big boss among these thousands of devils!

"Grenadier!" Fu Erchong greeted him, and immediately six soldiers came over and brought over two pairs of grenadiers. Fu Erchong handed the binoculars to a veteran, "Lao Wang, come and see, can you hit that guy on the high slope?" It's best to hit it in one shot! ”

The veteran took the telescope and looked in the direction of Fu Erchong's finger for a long time, and then shook his head regretfully: "I missed." ”

"You can't hit? Old Wangtou, you've been an artilleryman for almost ten years, haven't you? If you don't hit, who else can hit? Could it be that we just do it here, watching and doing nothing? ”

"Don't worry, company commander, it's not that I don't want to do it, it's not that we don't miss the spot, it's really a guy who doesn't take advantage of it. Is this a cannon? This is a grenadier, the range is less than 500 meters, and the devils on the hillside are at least 1,500 meters away from us. It's not that I don't want to fight, it's just that our grenadiers can't reach it! ”

Canisters out of reach? Fu Er rushed to look around, raised his hand and greeted: "Sanmeng, come here, come here!" ”

A tall soldier with the rank of second lieutenant on his collar ran over and saluted, "Company commander, are you looking for me?" ”

"Sanmeng, I remember you seem to have a mortar there, right? Bring it to me and let me use it. Fu Erchong remembered that during the battle, Wang Sanmeng's platoon captured a mortar. The second company also did not have a special mortar formation, and the cannon was left in Wang Sanmeng's hands. Now I just take it out and use it.

As soon as Wang Sanmeng heard that Fu Erchong was going to use a mortar, he immediately took two steps back, and the expression on his face was full of vigilance, "What are you doing?" Company commander, that mortar hasn't hit for so long, and I don't know if it can hit it. Hit him, I'll kill him with a grenade! ”

"You stingy! Go quickly, give me the mortar, I'm going to use it now! ”

Fu Erchong was angry, Wang Sanmeng didn't dare to insist, and pouted and honestly raised his mortar. Wang Sanmeng went to get the artillery, and Fu Erchong still asked the old artilleryman uneasily: "Old Wangtou, are you accurate with the mortar?" Wang Sanmeng doesn't know how many more shells there are, so you'd better hit the target with one shot. ”

"Then I can't guarantee that. Why don't you try someone else? ”
