Chapter Fifty-Eight: Retreat and Loneliness

[Kill a total of 30 devils and get a box]

Luo Yun didn't know Goat Er, but this did not prevent him from killing the devils who dared to pass by in front of him, especially a group of devils who fled in a panic. Wild monsters on the side of the road fight a wave at will. In this way, Goat II and half of his artillery team died at the hands of Luo Yun, and the Japanese troops defending Taoyuan Town were all annihilated.

······

"Retreat, the remnants of the three battalions stationed around Taoyuan will withdraw to Hexi, and the rest of the troops will shrink their positions, withdraw to Shilibao, the front and rear posts, and reorganize their positions here."

In the headquarters, the commander of the 38th Division looked at the map around Linyi in front of him, sighed, and reluctantly issued an order for the troops to withdraw from the turbulence.

The division commander did not want to retreat, but at this time, the 38th Division had been engaged with the devil for three consecutive years, and the troops were seriously reduced, especially the three battalions around Taoyuan, all of which had lost contact, and the reinforcements had not arrived for a long time.

In order to ensure the solidity of the defensive line, he can only adopt the strategy of shrinking the defense.

But...

"Send me a telegram to ask General Li, where are the reinforcements? If there are no more reinforcements, Linyi will really be lost"

The division commander threw down the pencil in his hand and said to the telegraph operator behind him.

The 38th Division really had no reserves at this time.

······

Taoyuan Town, Central Hotel.

"A total of 157 people in our battalion were able to fight"

The battalion commander ignored the number of the second company commander, and fought with the devil for three consecutive days, and his battalion was reduced from more than 500 people to more than 150 people, of which more than 200 were killed, and the rest of the seriously wounded had already returned to the rear to repair.

"Are you, there is a Chinese overseas Chinese who sent you more than 10,000 grenades?"

"Yes" The company commander nodded helplessly, he could fully understand the battalion commander's disbelief, which was exactly the same as his reaction yesterday.

Anyone who hears this news will never believe it, this is the vicinity of Linyi, here is the heavy attack of the devils on the one hand, and the desperate defense of their own side on the other, how can there be a large cart of grenades transported over without being discovered by them!

But the fact is that he sometimes really...

"I'll take you to see it" The company commander sighed in his heart, he didn't bother to explain, and he couldn't figure it out until now, but the grenades were there, and he also used these grenades to win the battle, so the company commander could only suppress a bunch of doubts in his heart.

The Central Hotel has been built for less than three years, so the building concept is advanced, the building structure is stable, and at the bottom of the building, there is a huge storage basement, in which the company commander stores grenades.

"Na... So much"

"Na... Why are there so many? ”

After entering the basement, the company commander and the battalion commander let out an exclamation at the same time after seeing the basement's full ammunition boxes through the faint light.

The battalion commander was amazed that there really were so many grenades and was amazed by the facts. The company commander was amazed that the number of grenades in the warehouse was far more than he had imagined. Dense boxes of grenades filled the entire warehouse.

The battalion commander excitedly stepped forward and opened a few boxes of grenades, looking through the boxes of well-made grenades.

"Did you remember wrong?"

The company commander began to doubt life at this time, and last night they hurriedly brought in the grenades outside, and they didn't count them carefully for a while, but directly listened to the platoon commander's words, thinking that there were only 500 boxes and 10,000 pieces.

But now, the company commander looked at the warehouse in front of him, looked at the rows and layers of boxes, and began to count the number of boxes, and finally he sent the number of boxes on this side to five hundred, and then there were nine layers in total, plus the fragments piled up in the corners, the total was more than 4,500 boxes of grenades, that is, there were more than 90,000 grenades here?

The final numbers came out stunned the company commander.

The entire 59th Army didn't have so many grenades.

"Did you find anything unusual until yesterday?"

The company commander asked the soldier behind him, who had been guarding the place all along.

The warrior shook his head.

"There have always been so many grenades?" The company commander asked again. After carrying grenades last night, he was too busy setting up explosive traps and didn't get into the basement warehouse. But in half an hour, the two dozen of them couldn't move so much.

"It's always been so much," the soldier replied in a strange tone, not understanding why the company commander would ask this question.

"Well done, be vigilant at all times" After pacifying the soldiers guarding the warehouse, the company commander could only suppress his doubts deeply in his heart. Poor company commander, of course he didn't know, they were busy carrying the grenade box at that time, and they didn't notice Luo Yun hiding in the basement warehouse desperately stuffing grenades into the basement.

"There really is, this is a German M24 grenade, but the quality is a foreign product, but there are more than 10,000 here" At this time, the battalion commander had already accepted the facts and asked suspiciously.

"Well, you know, I've always been confused about numbers" The company commander was speechless at this time, and could only hack himself.

"And, what is this?" The battalion commander pointed to several large iron buckets in the corner.

The shopkeeper with the face of "canned beef" shone the light through, and the battalion commander finally saw the handwriting on the iron bucket. At the same time, he also found dozens of bags of white flour next to the iron bucket.

"Didn't you find food?" The battalion commander looked at the company commander beside him and frowned.

"Well, this, my memory is bad when I'm old," the company commander said with a wry smile. At the same time, his mind was full of thoughts. Am I mistaken? But when I came down to the warehouse yesterday, it was so empty! Am I really old?

After the topic couldn't go on, the two didn't stay in the underground warehouse for long, and then walked out of Lin's room.

Looking at the dilapidated Taoyuan Town, the battalion commander began to order his subordinates to build a defensive line, and the warehouse full of grenades gave the battalion commander confidence, and the battalion commander was full of confidence at this time, and he planned to fight the devil here.

More than 90,000 grenades made the battalion commander's heart swell unprecedentedly, even if he told him that there was a devil brigade opposite, the battalion commander felt that he was not intimidated at all.

"Send a signal corpsman to the regimental headquarters to inform and report our situation here" The battalion commander only remembered at this time, he had not been in contact with the regimental headquarters for several years.

"Yes," a soldier saluted and ran to the rear.

"Battalion commander, battalion commander"

Suddenly, a soldier ran over, followed by more than twenty soldiers, and these soldiers were not soldiers of their battalion, these soldiers were all covered in gunsmoke, their military uniforms were tattered, and their expressions were dull, it was obvious that these were the remnants of the surrounding positions.

"Battalion commander, our perimeter defense line is occupied by devils, the first battalion and the third battalion have been scattered, and our battalion has been surrounded by devils"

"What?"

These remnants brought bad news to the battalion commander.
