"Withdraw!"

Yoji Matsuda knocked down a soldier who rushed up with a single shot, looked at the enemy troops rushing up in front of him, and continued to give the order to retreat to his subordinates behind him.

Behind him were scattered twenty-one devils, who retreated while shooting, covering each other in an orderly manner, and although they were retreating, they did not show any panic.

The remaining twenty-one devils are the elite of his front-line squad, as for the original pack horse squad and the rest of the lightly and seriously wounded, they have all been shattered in the sudden attack of the 733 Independent Regiment just now, including the two novice captains.

At this moment, Yoji Matsuda, who was experienced on the battlefield, divided the remaining twenty-one devils into three groups, each group of seven devils, each group was equipped with two machine guns and five rifles.

The powerful fire of the two machine guns combined with the accurate shooting of the rifles, and the three groups of squads alternately fired to cover the retreat, calmly suppressing the pursuit of more than 100 soldiers of the 733rd Regiment.

Originally, the 733rd Regiment was in an absolute numerical advantage, with a sudden attack, and the lax guard of the transport team could only engage in haste.

But soon, the lack of firepower of the 733rd Regiment became apparent, and within a few minutes of the battle, the firepower suppression of the 733rd Regiment was dumb due to the lack of ammunition, and the white-knuckle battle also gave the devil a chance.

The old devil Yoji Matsuda was experienced in combat and cruel and decisive, he immediately abandoned the wounded soldiers, and ordered the wounded to use grenades to self-detonate to block the attack of the 733rd Regiment, and it was because of this that he was able to calmly withdraw the twenty-one devils.

"The Eighteenth Route Army in the Battle of Pingxingguan?" Retreating to a difficult place, Yoji Matsuda, who saw that he was safe, looked at the soldiers in yellow uniforms in front of him and thought thoughtfully.

When repairing in the rear, he knew that at Pingxingguan in September, a full-fledged baggage brigade of the Fifth Division was annihilated, and the initiator was a division of the 18th Route Army of the Republic of China.

is also a first-line main division, Matsuda Yoji knows very well the combat effectiveness of a full-fledged baggage team, which is not comparable to those second-line pack horse teams, and all the soldiers who escort these materials are the main forces of the first-line division.

Their combat effectiveness was in no way inferior to his brigade before it.

And if you can ambush a complete baggage squadron with the strength of a division, then the combat effectiveness will inevitably be extraordinary.

After that, the 18th Route Army came into the sight of the Japanese army, and Yoji Matsuda also collected a lot of information about it, and also learned the story of the predecessor of this army.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

In this ambush battle, these soldiers who appeared in front of him also made his eyes shine.

Judging from the tactical movements, shooting skills, and battlefield positioning of these soldiers, it is obvious that most of them are new recruits, and veterans only account for a small part, but unlike the soldiers he fought not long ago, although these soldiers in front of him are not as good as the former, although they are not as good as the former, they have what a soldier should and must have.

The will to fight, that is, the will to fight.

This is something that the soldiers who fought with his brigade last time did not have.

If the soldiers of the three divisions that attacked last time were like this, I am afraid that they would have to serve the country in pieces.

Thinking of the last battle, Yoji Matsuda shook his head, looked back at the remaining twenty-one subordinates, and suddenly remembered his words of scolding the two squad leaders who had been shattered not long ago.

"No matter when and where on the battlefield, you can't be careless," a trace of shame and regret appeared on his face.

···

"Stop the pursuit, build a defensive line on the spot, hurry up and clean up the battlefield, move everything that can be moved, and burn everything that can't be moved"

Zhang Lianshun has been paying attention to the pursuit battle here, and the original all-annihilation was broken out of a way out by the devil jade, and the marksmanship and combat effectiveness of the old devils in front of him also surprised him, and the pursuit was only a few minutes and a kilometer, and more than thirty soldiers fell on the road forever, if he continued to pursue, there would be absolutely no good fruit to eat, so he decisively ordered to stop the pursuit.

And although this group of devils has strong combat effectiveness and fierce firepower, the number is too small, and they are naturally looking for death when they attack, so he is not afraid that this group of escaped devils will return the carbines, and he also left a company on guard.

After all, the lessons of the devil's carelessness and ambush are still vivid, and Zhang Lianshun naturally learned a lesson.

733 sniper positions of the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 2nd Independent Regiment.

At this time, Wu An, the commander of the first company, had already returned to the position and also brought the order of the regiment commander.

Their two companies were going to block a squadron of devils here for an hour, and they had to ensure that within this hour, the devils who came out of Wanping City would not be able to step through their defense line even a single step.

But the lack of weapons, ammunition, and even the 1st and 2nd companies of the 1st battalion, which had a small numerical advantage, delayed with their lives for the rest of the time after the first wave of the first wave that relied on a small advantage in mine explosives.

Every time the devils were about to capture a position, they would organize death squads to strengthen the defense line with broadswords and blood donations.

And the pistol commandos who came to support not long ago finally made the crumbling defense line finally hold up.

By this time, they had completed an hour's blocking mission, and the next thing they had to do was to retreat.

But before retreating, they need to retreat the current wave of devils.

Wu An and Xu Ping, the two company commanders, glanced at Li Jingyuan, the captain of the pistol commando team who was holding a shell gun not far away, and his anxious mind finally relaxed, with the firepower of the pistol team, the next retreat was not difficult.

Standing behind the bunker, Izumi held a telescope and observed the enemy position in front of him.

At this time, the battle had stopped, the position was quiet, the breeze blew, and the burning smoke was slightly skewed.

There was a terrible scene on the silent slope position, all kinds of corpses were placed on the slope, both imperial and enemy, most of them were enemy corpses, and the casualties of imperial soldiers were not large.

The enemy's firepower was weak, but the will to fight was tenacious, and it was tenacious that he had never seen before.

In a small battle, he did not detect the enemy's machine guns from beginning to end, and the enemy in front of him, the number of at least two squadrons.

After more than an hour of fighting, several of his group charges were forced back by the enemy in white-knuckle combat, and his reinforced squad suffered more than 50 casualties, of which 37 were killed and 17 were seriously wounded, while the enemy also left at least more than 200 corpses.

In fact, the battle was supposed to end ten minutes ago, when his squad had already attacked the enemy position, but at this time, a wave of enemies with Mauser pistols suddenly appeared, and the fire was extremely strong, and under this sudden superior firepower, his squad could only withdraw from the position again.

And that defeat, his team suffered more than ten casualties at once.

Having made up his mind, he again organized his troops to attack.

The baggage team ahead is being attacked, and he needs to go to support immediately.

This time, however, the team easily took up the local position without encountering the slightest resistance.

"The enemy has retreated," he was a little surprised.

The battle ahead is over?

He was not too worried about the battle ahead, firstly, the combat effectiveness of the baggage team was much stronger than his own, and secondly, from the perspective of sniping his own troops, the enemy did not pose much threat to the baggage team, otherwise he would not use two squadrons that were not even equipped with machine guns to stop him.
