Chapter 58: Mission Accomplished
The devil rested for more than twenty minutes, and then Nakamura Hirono continued to organize troops to continue to attack the position of the 735th Regiment, but they did not arrange human ** again this time. This trick has been cracked by Feng Yipeng, and it will not work if you use it again.
As the battle continued, another wing of devils rushed to this place, because the road was not much wide, these are fortunately, this section of the road is crowded with devils, if the Eighth Route Army now has a large-caliber anti-aircraft gun, this artillery can kill more than 100 devils, but unfortunately the Eighth Route Army did not have it at all.
Here, I would like you to understand that the 163rd Wing is only the vanguard responsible for biting the main force of the national army, and not the only wing. The captain of the other wing saw that the 163rd wing was all concentrated here, and he was full of doubts. Little by little, he squeezed through the crowd to the front.
The first thing the wing captain said when he found Hirono Nakamura was, "What's going on?" Why are all of your wings crammed here? The tone of the wing captain was only curious and puzzled, not questioning, after all, Nakamura Kono and the other party were both wing captains, and the two belonged to the same level, not superiors and subordinates.
Nakamura Hirono roughly explained the basic situation here to the newly arrived wing captain, who looked back at the very embarrassed 163 wing soldier and kindly suggested, "Nakamura-kun? Why don't your troops rest and change to my troops to attack" As I mentioned before, because the highway space itself is so large, there is no room for too many people to attack together.
Nakamura Kono didn't refuse, just let his troops rest more, the twenty minutes of rest just now didn't play a role in Nakamura Kono's troops at all.
The soldiers of the 163rd Wing began to slowly retreat to the back or to the side, and the newly arrived Wing all came to the front and began to prepare for the attack.
The devils who participated in the attack just now of the 163rd Wing were now repelled by Feng Yipeng from the direction of the 735th Regiment's position, and now there are no devils on the 735th Regiment's position.
The captain of the wing who had just arrived still opened the scene to shell the position of the 735th Regiment, and the 163rd Wing ran out of shells, but the first wing had plenty of ammunition.
The Eighth Route Army still did not have any means of counterattack, so it could only retreat in its own position.
When the shelling stopped, Nakamura Hirono originally wanted to remind him kindly, but as soon as Nakamura spoke, the wing captain looked a little impatient, "Okay, okay, Nakamura-kun, you just have to watch it carefully, I will capture the opposite position soon, don't worry." ”
Nakamura Kono had no choice but to shut up, Nakamura Kono's current mentality is not to see the other party's jokes, but he is worried that if he kindly reminds him for a long time, people really take down the opposite position, wouldn't it be a slap in the face? After all, he had attacked the opposite side for so long, and he didn't know how long the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side could hold out.
As soon as the wing commander gave the order, the soldiers in charge of the attack immediately rushed to the position of the 735th Regiment.
The devil's attack formation is not very loose, but it is just a little light. The devil had already entered the range of the Eighth Route Army, and rushed forward in a daze.
The Eighth Route Army was not used to devils, so Feng Yipeng saw the opportunity and gave an order.
The soldiers of the whole regiment aimed at the devils and beat them randomly. The first two dozen devils fell to the ground in an instant, and it was only the devils who remembered to find cover. Only then did I remember to pay attention to concealment when attacking. This wave of devils immediately paid the price for their carelessness.
Because the devil was half a beat slower, after another round of shooting from the Eighth Route Army, the devil began to counterattack.
Hirono Nakamura and the other wing leader were holding binoculars at the same time to observe the battle situation, and it was then that the new wing leader realized that he seemed to be a little careless. Nakamura was also secretly relieved at the moment, if he really let the other party take the opposite position for the first attack, he wouldn't be laughed at to death?
There are more and more devils on the opposite side, and the defensive pressure of the Eighth Route Army is also increasing, although the devils invest about the same number of troops in each attack, but the frequency of attacks is getting faster and faster. Before, when the 163rd Wing was in the team, the devils could only launch a round of attacks every twenty minutes or so, and now the devils can launch an attack every ten minutes or so. The most lethal thing is that the 735th Regiment is now fighting less and less.
For Feng Yipeng and them, the only good news now is that the sun has slowly set in the west. It seems to be dark in November and it is relatively early.
The 735th Regiment quickly held out until dark.
Another wing captain asked Nakamura Hirono, "Now that it's dark, are we going to continue the attack?" ”
If this question had been asked six hours ago, Nakamura's answer would have been to go on the offensive. But now Nakamura Hirono really doesn't matter, anyway, the main force of the national army, the "big fish", has long since run away. Even if you wipe out all these eight paths on the other side, it won't help. Hirono Nakamura replied in a calm tone, "Whatever, anything"
And for the later wing commander, it doesn't matter even more, anyway, it's not his responsibility to let the main force of the national army slip away. Besides, Nakamura Hirono doesn't care, why are you still working so hard, "Then let's take the time to let the troops have a meal first, my soldiers haven't eaten for a day." ”
Hirono Nakamura glanced at the other party, and thought to himself, "Look, what you said looks like my soldiers have eaten." While complaining inwardly, Nakamura nodded at the other party, indicating that it was indeed time for the soldiers to eat something.
After the two co-captains agreed, the devil stopped the attack and began to prepare dinner.
Qin Ping saw that the devil didn't move for a long time, "Old man, shouldn't we withdraw?" We were ordered to hold the devil for five hours, and now we have dragged the devil for more than six hours, and we have done our best for our allies. ”
Feng Yipeng first used a telescope to observe the devil's position, because the sky was dark, Feng Yipeng could only see many fires on the opposite side, Feng Yipeng guessed that the devil should be cooking on the fire now, and then Feng Yipeng thought for a moment, then turned his head to look at Qin Ping: "Okay, let's prepare to retreat now." ”
Feng Yipeng then called the third battalion commander, who was now ragged and dark, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Commander, are you looking for me??"
Feng Yipeng looked at the current appearance of the third battalion commander and was very distressed, he wanted to care about the third battalion commander first, but after thinking about it, he didn't seem to be a little hypocritical in doing this, thinking of this, Feng Yipeng still went to business, "You now find some people to escort the seriously wounded in the rear to retreat."
"Huh?? Fall back?? Commander, what about you?? ”
"We'll clean up and start retreating."
"Okay then, Commander, I'll do it"
After the commander of the third battalion left, Feng Yipeng gathered all the soldiers of the 735th Regiment who were still alive together. "Everyone, listen, we will retreat in a while, you will now collect all the remaining hand ** bullets and guns on the position, we can't leave a single shot for the devil" Feng Yipeng is not in a hurry because if the devil really regenerates the fire to cook, then the fire cooking plus eating the devil will not attack for a while.
In addition, Feng Yipeng also specially instructed everyone to leave their military hats in the position and place them in a conspicuous place.
Everyone first cleaned the position, and then placed their military hats in a conspicuous place according to Feng Yipeng's instructions, some soldiers directly put their military hats on bricks or stones, and some soldiers used branches to fix their military hats and put their military hats behind the bunker.
Feng Yipeng's move was to confuse the devil, anyway, he couldn't see clearly when it was dark now, if he could deceive the devil, then the devil would definitely not dare to pounce easily, and he could buy more time for his retreat. Taking a step back, even if you don't deceive the devil, you don't have much to lose, and the military hat is not a valuable thing.
Everything was prepared on Feng Yipeng's side, and all battalions and companies began to retreat their positions in an orderly manner. And the devil's side has just finished cooking, and all the devils are about to get ready to eat.
Feng Yipeng's movements were relatively concealed when they retreated, and the devils were unaware of the retreat of the Eighth Route Army.
After the devil had eaten and drunk to his heart's content, another wing commander took a telescope to observe the position of the Eighth Route Army. The sky was dark, and there were only a few faint fires in the Eighth Route Army's position.
By the faint light of the fire, the wing could only vaguely see the military hat on the position of the Eighth Route Army, because it was dark, and the wing captain did not see it very clearly, causing the wing commander to mistakenly think that the Eighth Route Army was still on the position, and then ordered the mortar unit to continue to bombard the position of the Eighth Route Army.
The devil's shells fell one after another on the positions of the Eighth Route Army, which had long been empty. At this time, the devil had not noticed anything unusual.
After more than 20 minutes of continuous bombardment, the devil attack unit began to move towards the position of the Eighth Route Army with a flashlight in each hand. The devils in charge of the attack soon found that the Eighth Route Army's position was empty.
One of the devils hurriedly returned to report the situation to Nakamura Hirono and the other wing commander, while the other devils continued to search in the position of the Eighth Route Army.
"Report to the sir, the opposite position is empty"
"What?? How is this happening? Are you sure? The other captain seemed to have misheard and was surprised.
Nakamura Kono didn't react much, and Nakamura Kono knew how cunning the Eighth Route Army was.
"Report sir, I have seen with my own eyes that there is indeed no enemy in the opposite position"
The wing captain was obviously still a little unconvinced, and then he and Nakamura Hirono led people to the position of the Eighth Route Army.
The wing commander looked at the empty position of the Eighth Route Army and felt very unbelievable and angry at the same time, he felt as if he was being played like a monkey by the Eighth Route Army.
Nakamura Kono didn't feel surprised at all, but picked up a military hat of the Eighth Route Army nearby and played with it in his hand.
Another wing was just about to order the troops to pursue, but Nakamura Hirono next to him said, "Forget it, since you've already run away, don't chase it." ”
"Don't chase ????" The other party's eyes widened and he looked at Nakamura Hirono incredulously.
"yes, what if you catch up? The big fish have already run away, and those small fish and shrimp are all delicious, all of them are bones, and there is not much meat," Although the Eighth Route Army is cunning and difficult, Nakamura Hirono still looks down on the strength of the Eighth Route Army. When the main force of the national army completely threw off him, Nakamura Kono had already thought of his fate, and it was very likely that he would be sent to a military court. Even if all of them were eliminated, it wouldn't help.
The other co-captain felt that what Nakamura Hirono said did have some truth, so what was the use of catching up with this handful of enemies?? A regiment of the Eighth Route Army is really not enough in the eyes of devils, with a small number of people and poor equipment. Several divisions of the National Army ran away and still cared about a regiment of the Eighth Route Army???
Since neither of them was interested in the strength of the Eighth Route Army, they did not continue to pursue. The 735th Regiment also successfully got rid of the devils.
The Battle of Taiyuan was now completely over.
