The battle ended very suddenly.

As soon as the artillery unit was ready to participate in the battle, the gunfire on the three blocking battlefields stopped, and it was discussed.

Nakatani Osa flashed a bad premonition.

After waiting for half an hour, a communications officer hurried back: "Sir, the enemy has run away. ”

"When we arrived at the artillery position, it was already empty, and our captain asked for instructions on whether we should follow the trail left by the retreat of the garrison regiment."

"They brought mortars, and they definitely won't be able to run fast."

The chief of staff had just returned to the station to count the losses, and when he came back, he happened to hear this sentence, and he hurriedly vetoed it without waiting for the wing commander to speak.

"Can't be pursued!"

"We don't know anything about the surrounding situation, and if we pursue rashly, we will definitely go to the Eighth Route Army, and in the end, we will lose our wife and lose our troops."

After speaking, he reported to the wing commander: "Sir, the loss of the garrison is very large, nearly 500 corpses have been found, and many soldiers have been directly hit by shells, and there are no bones left, and there are nearly 100 light and serious wounded who have lost their combat effectiveness. ”

"At the beginning of the humble post, the garrison regiment has just fired at least a thousand shells, and our direct losses in the shelling are nearly seven hundred."

"This is not counting the casualties of the imperial army in the three blocking battles, all of which must have been nearly a thousand people combined."

"Moreover, the losses in the artillery bombardment were all the main forces of the wing, and the garrison and the Imperial Allied Army were stationed on the other two hills, and the casualties were very small."

"With the equipment that was blown up, although the troops we lost only accounted for 30 percent of the total strength, our combat effectiveness was weakened by at least 40 percent, and it is difficult to make sure that 50 percent of the troops are there."

Nakatani Osa finally knew why the chief of staff was so reckless just now, and rushed to deny his subordinates' proposal without waiting for him to speak.

The losses of the troops were too great.

If they continue to fight with the garrison, and they are still good at mountain warfare and night fighting, the losses of the troops will definitely increase tonight, and there is almost no possibility of winning, and the troops are wasted.

You must not do such a stupid thing yourself.

Nakatani Osa no longer hesitated, and decisively ordered: "The order of the chief of staff is my order, and the troops will retreat immediately." ”

"With the loss just now, the entire wing has already suffered more than half of the casualties, and we haven't figured out how many troops the garrison has hidden in the mountains until now."

"I want to report our situation to the brigade commander immediately, the information given to us by the superiors is wrong, not only is the main force of the garrison regiment hidden in the mountain, but there are also very large numbers, and it is not at all the small number of guard troops they reported."

Li Hao did not know how many casualties the night attack had caused to the Japanese army.

But one thing is certain, more than a thousand cannonballs smashed over, and the blind cat can kill many devils if they hit the rats.

So when he returned to the station, he ordered the troops to seize the time to rest.

No one knows how long this battle will be fought, when the next battle will begin, in order to make the soldiers energetic in every battle, Li Hao must seize all free time to let the troops rest.

"Commander, the little devil seems to be running!" Early in the morning, Li Hao was still asleep, and the voice of the chief of staff sounded in his ears.

"Retreat?" Li Hao opened his eyes and got up, and asked with a look of disbelief.

There was also a hint of worry between his eyebrows.

"Yes!" Hong Linfeng affirmed.

"Observation post report: As soon as the morning dawns, the little devils begin to pack weapons and ammunition, burn the remains of dead soldiers, and retreat."

Just as he was about to continue, the sound of "report ......" sounded in his ears, and an operational staff officer hurriedly ran over and handed him a piece of information.

"The retreat has begun!" Hong Linfeng raised the information in his hand and continued to report.

"This is the news that the observation post has just sent back, and the Japanese puppet army has begun to retreat along the route into the mountain, and the speed is very fast."

After handing the information to Li Hao, he immediately judged: "I suspect that the little devil has seen our plan to eat them in the mountains, and is in a hurry to withdraw from the mountains to save their lives." ”

"Can't let them quit!" Li Hao put down the information and replied resolutely.

"It's difficult!" Hong Linfeng shook his head and replied.

"As long as the little devil resolutely wants to withdraw from the mountain, the direction is no problem, the mountain is full of roads, you can go as you want, we send blocking troops to stop it, we don't know where to stop."

Li Hao nodded and replied noncommittally: "You're right, if the little devil resolutely retreats, we will definitely not be able to stop it, so we can only find a way to outwit it." ”

"We fought too hard yesterday, eating a reinforced brigade in two battles, and eating most of the brigade at night, which must have scared them, and we were afraid that we would also be eaten, and then we were in a hurry to retreat."

"So what the Midvale United really care about is our strength in the mountains."

"If you let them know that we have withdrawn from the mountains and that the troops hiding in the mountains are gone, Chief of Staff, do you say that the Middle Valley Wing will stop and continue to search the arsenal, field hospital, and logistics in the mountains."

"It should be!" Hong Linfeng thought for a moment and answered.

"One of the purposes of the devils sweeping us is to destroy the arsenal and make us lose the ability to produce our own weapons."

"If they feel that there is no enemy in the mountain who can threaten them, there is no danger, they will definitely choose to continue the mission."

Li Hao immediately turned his gaze to the map: "Where is the little devil outside the mountain, and where is Deputy Head Luo." ”

"Here, the two armies are separated by less than five kilometers." Hong Linfeng pointed to a point on the map and replied.

"There are a few county brigades in place!" Li Hao continued to ask.

"Four, and five other squadrons also rushed to the battlefield to cooperate with Deputy Commander Luo." Hong Linfeng thought for a moment and answered.

Li Hao nodded and analyzed: "We are less than forty kilometers away from Deputy Regiment Commander Luo, and we can arrive in six hours on a rapid march." ”

"Last night we ended the battle at two o'clock in the morning, and now it's eight o'clock, with exactly six hours in between."

"If the battle ends last night, we will go to meet with Deputy Regiment Commander Luo, it should be almost there now."

"Immediately contact Deputy Regiment Commander Luo, assemble the air defense battalion, reconnaissance company, two county brigades, and all the heavy weapons that the regiment headquarters have strengthened for them, fight a battle with the devil within four hours, the greater the momentum, the better, end the battle within half an hour and then retreat."

"Let Deputy Regiment Commander Luo immediately formulate a battle plan, and then report it to the regiment headquarters for approval and implementation."

Hong Linfeng's eyes lit up, and his chaotic and clueless brain seemed to open a new world, and he shouted excitedly.

"I understand, regiment commander, what you mean is to let Deputy Commander Luo play the posture of the main force, and let the little devil regard the county brigade outside the mountain as the main force, thinking that we have left the mountain at our feet."

Li Hao nodded and replied: "This alone is not enough, I have to add another fire to the little devil." ”

"After the worries are lifted, if there is another big enough bait in the mountain, it will definitely make the little devil go crazy and re-enter the mountain desperately."
