Chapter 223: The Line of Defense
Now no one expected this situation, and the little devil who was almost at the end of the crossbow would still be able to exert such a strong combat effectiveness.
Zhang Yunfei, who withdrew from the battle, was obviously not in a good mood, he was thinking about how to fight next, guessing what the devil should do next.
Now they are very dissatisfied with the battle situation, and it is estimated that the little devil is also dissatisfied, and now the devil's reaction is nothing more than three.
First, rely on the village to hold on; second, retreat, which should be the safest option; Third, directly fight out and directly defeat them, a frontal enemy.
Judging from the current situation, they have been entangled for so long, and the firepower and combat effectiveness between the two sides are about to be leveled, and it is really hard to say who will win and who will lose in the end.
However, with the urine nature of the little devils, the order they are most likely to choose should be three-two-one.
Zhang Yunfei can only come up with these three possibilities, but now it is really difficult to judge which kind of little devil will choose, one is the most unlikely, after all, this group of devils is fighting across the border, and there is a lack of communication with the local garrison, and the possibility of holding on is the lowest.
As for whether to continue the attack or retreat, this is difficult to judge, no matter how conceited the devil commander is, he should be sober up to the current situation of the battle.
In contrast, if the devil chooses the third and chooses to continue the attack, it will be more troublesome, once this situation occurs, although they can retreat at any time, but retreat is not so easy, refer to Qi Dajiu's squadron, even if you remove the lost ones, they will lose at least one-third of them in the pursuit of the devils.
Once they choose to retreat, it will be all in vain for them to engage in such a big battle with the devil in the early stage, but if they fight with the devil in the end, it is still unknown who will kill the deer, anyway, it is certain that both sides will lose.
Reinforcements, reinforcements, now he has suffered the loss of reinforcements, the key is that he has no cards in his hand, or this little devil, it is easy to kill them.
After such a toss, the devil also suffered more than a dozen casualties, in fact, both sides have a bit of a strong crossbow at the end, it depends on who collapses first.
The devil Cao Chang stood behind the wall in the village, looking at the reorganized defensive position of the Eighth Road, he still had a headache, this group of Eight Roads was not many in number, and the combat strength was also very poor, but now it was like kraft candy sticking to them.
Now that more than half of their squad has suffered casualties, although the strength of the eight roads on the opposite side is not strong, they also do not have the ability to take down the opponent in one fell swoop.
Stick to the help, it's a pity that they are alone in the depths, there are no reinforcements at all, there is no point in defending, and as time goes by, the Eighth Route Army will only gather more and more.
The kind of local armed forces called guerrillas, in the eyes of the devil Cao Chang, are just a group of rabble, and in normal times, he doesn't care about any more comes.
But now in this situation, their combat power has dropped to the lowest point, and the so-called ants bite the elephant to death, and now they are likely to be overwhelmed by the number of people used by the other party.
Then retreat is the only option, but unfortunately there is a problem with retreat, they have already marched for dozens of kilometers, they are already exhausted, once they retreat, this group of eight roads will follow like wolves.
At that time, they will not have the strength to get rid of each other, and they are likely to be devoured by these eight roads bit by bit, and in the end, they will not be able to escape the fate of destruction.
said that there were three choices, but in fact, in the eyes of the devil Cao Chang, they had no choice.
He had to hate the captain of the dead ghost squad, he was so damn crazy that he only had about the number of a team, and it was worth chasing after him.
It's okay now, I didn't get the credit, and I was killed by the black gun of the Eighth Road, so let's die, and I took the whole team into the pit and fell into a critical situation.
When the devil's Cao Chang cursed the squad leader who had died in battle, he completely ignored that at that time, he was also in favor of chasing to the death and killing that gang of eight roads.
The devil Cao Chang finally got his temper, he didn't have a choice, since this gang of dirt and eight roads forced himself to fight, then fight, not to mention that this gang of eight roads is only a little more than the number of his own side, even if it is several times more, it can still repair the other party, and the imperial army is really not afraid of anyone.
The previous two battles have shown that although the strength of this group of eight roads is okay, they are still inferior to themselves, and the reason why they do not retreat and run away is that they want to take the opportunity to raid themselves.
Just like those wolves quietly staring at their prey, when they thought of this devil's Cao Chang, they became angry, when did their dignified imperial army become the prey in the eyes of others.
Since these eight roads didn't plan to let go of themselves and others, and didn't let themselves and others escape, uh, it was a retreat, so what was there to hesitate to kill the other party.
Devil Commander Cao divided the team into three detachments, one detachment as the spearhead to the front, the other two detachments were divided into two wings, and the two detachments in the rear each carried a machine gun.
Originally, the devil had three machine guns, one of which was the one that was taken by Zhang Yunfei, but unfortunately it was lost again in the narrow alley, although it returned to the devil's hands, but it was also blown up.
Half of the devil's squad formed a triangle and rushed westward, and the battle was fought to this extent, there was nothing to be done, and the devils came directly at their temporary position.
Now it is clear that the carriages and horses will not give in to each other, and it will depend on who will kill whom in the end.
Looking at the devils who attacked and killed in the triangle formation, Zhang Yunfei was nervous for no reason, the devils did not have many troops, only twenty or thirty people, but Zhang Yunfei just had no bottom.
Originally, he only had more than 20 veterans, but unfortunately in the two battles ahead, especially in the street battles, four or five more were sacrificed, and now there is a serious shortage of veterans under his command.
Although there is still an advantage in terms of troops, he doesn't have a little idea in his mind about how strong these militia young men can play.
Qi Dajiu was driven by him to guard the flank again, but this time he didn't chirp.
In the street battle, their squadron lost ground the fastest, and suffered the greatest casualties, and now he even lowered his voice a lot.
Most of them are militia young and strong, and it would be hell if you didn't panic at this time.
When the Devils at the forefront enter the battle zone.
The two machine guns on either side of the devil immediately spat out tongues of fire to provide cover for their infantry to break through, and the devils still had grenadiers, but unfortunately their grenades were exhausted.
Although the current attack lacks the threat of grenadiers, in the face of the formation of the devils rushing in the middle and outflanking the two flanks, their defense is a little stretched.
The disadvantages of the militia are now apparent, most of them know how to shoot, they have never had a chance to shoot before, and they finally got the opportunity to shoot in the first two battles.
But firing a gun does not mean that their marksmanship is accurate, marksmanship requires years of training to produce results, they are young and strong militiamen who catch ducks on the shelves and temporarily go to the battlefield, it is impossible to touch two guns to become sharpshooters, this is unrealistic, so although there are many of them, it is still very difficult to hit the devil.
