Chapter 022: Temporary decision to guard the bridge
"I'm sorry, I originally planned to let you take a good rest, but I didn't want the little devil to give us time!" Head He looked at Wang Si with an apologetic expression and said, "In this way, you don't need to clean up here, hurry up and retreat into the mountain with the team!" ”
Head He felt that the little devil's sweep this time was not just because the turret was the fuse, but a planned and premeditated sweep.
The devil is menacing, the goal is very clear and directly to their regiment station, this is a big battle, in order to avoid confrontation with the little devil head-on, he according to the previous way to deal with the devil, began to clear the field.
"Are we all retreating like this?" When Wang Si heard this, he knew that Regiment Commander He didn't plan to confront the little devil head-on at all, but left the second battalion to block the attack, in order to cover the withdrawal of other troops, so he was full of confusion and incomprehension.
You must know that the creation of this base area is not easy, and in the face of the attack of the little devils, it seems that it is not a decision made by a combat unit to evacuate without firing a shot.
"The devil came prepared this time, if we rashly exchange fire with the little devil, we will definitely suffer in the end!" Head He understood what he wanted to say, so he said to Wang Si, "So we try to avoid its edge as much as possible, bypass the frontal battlefield, and let the little devil's hard fist hit the cotton!" ”
"I don't understand your command, but I think your analysis has some truth!" After Wang Si heard it, he seemed to understand Captain He's words, so he said something like this in front of Commander He, "Please rest assured, the special task force directly under the regiment will ensure that the task is completed." ”
"Be careful yourselves!" Commander He gave an instruction, then turned around and took the rest of the people to command the battle, leaving Wang Si and them in the house.
Wang Si saw that Regiment Commander He and they had already set off, so he beckoned the big man and Chu Huaichen to hurry up and gather their own brothers, preparing to retreat into the mountains with the main force of the New Fourth Army.
After leaving the house, there was chaos outside, the people, the army, and all kinds of materials and institutions were all moving, and the ground was in a mess, I am afraid that there will never be such chaos as at this time.
Wang Si and the others didn't know which team to retreat with, so they ran towards the mountains and forests with their brothers and equipment.
He knew that only by leaving here could he be safe, and at the moment he led the team in his hand was the key, so that the rest was not something he should consider for the time being.
Just as Wang Si and the others entered the mountains and forests, a team responsible for covering supplies happened to pass by them, and Wang Si noticed that their officer was none other than Xue Monkey in the first row of the Ninth Company.
At this moment, Xue Monkey is directing his subordinate brothers and comrades from the logistics department to enter the mountains and forests in an orderly manner, maintaining a formation as much as possible and not letting the crowded situation appear.
But at this moment, there was a dense burst of gunfire behind them, with the sound of 38 large covers and miscellaneous gunfire, as well as the sound of crooked light machine guns and Type 92 heavy machine guns.
"The devil is coming, comrades, follow me to stop it!" When Xue Monkey heard the intensity of the gunshot, he knew that it was all the devil's equipment, so he immediately beckoned the soldiers around him to start blocking, so that the comrades of the logistics office and the logistics materials could go further.
Under his order, the soldiers of the platoon under his command desperately ran towards the little devil who was chasing behind, and fought with the devil with the help of the woods on the side.
"Fourth brother, it's Xue Monkey!" The big man saw that Xue Monkey led people over to block the devil, so he immediately ran in front of Wang Si and said to Wang Si.
"Isn't it the Ninth Company and the Special Service Company that are responsible for the transfer of materials? Why is there only one platoon left now? Wang Si was very puzzled.
When Regiment Commander He gave the battle order, Wang Si was in front of him, and he heard it very clearly, it was the soldiers of the Ninth Company and the Special Service Company who were responsible for the transfer of materials, but now there was only a platoon of Xue Monkey left, and he really didn't know what the situation was.
"Maybe the little devils are chasing too closely, and they have divided their troops to deal with the little devils!" Chu Huaichen analyzed. Now there are a lot of little devils chasing them, and it is normal to be attacked.
"There is a bridge behind this mountain forest, after crossing the bridge for a while, this bridge will become a key point, once this bridge falls into the hands of the little devils, then our team hiding in the forest will be hunted by the little devils!" Wang Si didn't bother to take care of the affairs of the Ninth Company and the Spy Company, at this moment, he checked the topography of next week, and then said to everyone.
"Fourth brother means that this bridge is related to the safety of our entire regiment?" Hearing Wang Si's words, the big man seemed to understand some of Wang Si's words, so he boldly speculated and said.
"That's right, I'm afraid that the stakes of this bridge have not yet been discovered by Head He!" Wang Si said affirmatively, "We can only rely on our special operations team to defend it!" ”
If Regiment Commander He knew the stakes of this bridge, he would have mobilized a company to guard it here no matter what, but at the moment, Regiment Commander He did not make any moves on this side, and all the troops in the regiment had corresponding combat missions, except for Wang Si, who was temporarily idle, so the guards of this bridge could only look at their special task force.
"Okay, then let's hurry!" The big man said immediately, as if agreeing with Wang Si's analysis, so he decided to go to the bridge as quickly as possible and take the brothers to defend the bridge.
As he spoke, Wang Si and his brothers quickly climbed over the mountain forest and came directly to the bridge.
It is a relatively strong reinforced concrete bridge, and it is also a major hub connecting the east and west roads, and is best for armored vehicles and heavy artillery to pass through here. As Wang Si said, whoever controls the bridge controls the entire battle.
Wang Si didn't dare to delay, and immediately asked Ma Sancang to prepare sandbags, temporarily build a defensive bunker, and put down the position east of the bridge, and Chu Huaichen and a few brothers ambushed there to block the attack.
The older men and the veterans began to plant explosives under the bridge with their brothers, preparing for the worst, and if the bridge could not be defended, they would have to blow it up.
When Wang Si's side was intensively arranging the work of guarding the bridge, the gunfire of the little devil was getting closer and closer, and Xue Monkey, who was in charge of blocking the attack, retreated into the forest with the rest of the team after losing nearly half of the team, and then followed the bridge towards the west.
The little devil's team followed closely behind, constantly chasing after them, and the distance between them and Xue Monkey was not too far, and as soon as the gun rang out, several soldiers died on the way to retreat.
Wang Si saw that the devil was chasing too closely, and Xue Monkey had no way to get rid of the devil's pursuit, so he asked Chu Huaichen and them to quickly rob and cover Xue Monkey and their retreat across the bridge.
