Chapter 624: Drawdown (First Update!) )
"Catch up and kill them!" Xiao Yuan decisively ordered!
Get up from behind the rocks and fire at a group of devil machine guns!
Bullets flew out of the constantly beating muzzle, and in the blink of an eye, a few bloody holes were drilled in the devil's back!
The remaining five commandos of the two assault groups shot one after another, and soon killed the remaining dozen devils!
"Replenish grenades, machine guns and bullets from the corpses of devils, and take them away, let's go to reinforce the guard company and reconnaissance company, and listen to the gunshots, they are also fighting on their side!"
When they hurried to the battlefield of firefighting, the reconnaissance company and the guard company had already dragged the devil squad by virtue of their firepower superiority and terrain superiority, and they were swallowing them!
"Captain, do you want to reinforce them, attack from behind the devil, and quickly end the battle with front and back flanking attacks!" The leader of the second assault group twinkled in his eyes and suggested!
Xiao Yuan shook his head and denied: "No, dozens of devils, the reconnaissance company and the guard company will definitely eat, we won't join in the fun!" Catch up with the main force of the devils, force them to divide another infantry squad out, and then kill slowly! ”
The devil's three-way pursuit troops, along the trails deliberately left by the commando and the reconnaissance company, circled around the forest for nearly two hours and then collided directly with each other!
Kimura Nakasa and the other pursuing troops were only attacked by treacherous mines, but they still suffered more than 100 casualties each!
The devil who was targeted by Xiao Yuan was the worst!
The commando team, reconnaissance company, and guard company took turns to fight, and the devils who were completely annihilated each had three squads, not counting the casualties caused by the sneak attack all the way to the devils!
At the time of the convergence, the little devils on this road were directly reduced from 600 to more than 100 when they divided the troops, and they almost didn't have a chance to see Kimura Nakasa!
"Eight Tooth Road! How could this be, how could the casualties of the troops be so large, how did you command them! In front of the two captains, Kimura Nakasa put on the posture of the commander-in-chief for the first time, staring at the two people and scolding!
The two captains really want to go back!
They are now prosperous, and if the garrison slips away, everyone, including Kimura, will face the end of disembowelment!
But when the words came to their lips, they swallowed them back!
The troops were indeed lost at the hands of the two of them, and with heavy casualties, there was no reason to refute it at all!
"Sir, there's a problem!" The squadron leader of the reconnaissance detachment suddenly rushed over to report, with a solemn face!
"Yaga, what's going on again!" Kimura Nakasa scolded angrily!
The squadron leader hesitated, and he didn't want to report bad news to Kimura at this time, causing even more anger!
If you don't do it well, you will be burned and become the target of Kimura's anger!
But this bad news is so important that no matter how reluctant I am, I can only report it head-on: "We seem to have walked through this place more than two hours ago!" ”
"Nani?"
Kimura stared at a pair of big eyes, and his face was full of incredulity!
The shock brought to him by this news was too great, and he stared at the squadron leader and asked: "That is to say, we chased in vain for more than two hours just now, and more than 700 imperial troops also died in vain, and we went around in a big circle in the mountains and returned to the same place!" ”
"Hey!" The squadron leader replied in a low voice, lowered his head, and did not dare to look at his captain!
Kimura is on fire, and this time the idea of killing people is there!
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Raise your hand and slap the squadron leader in the face a few times!
Then he was still angry, and the squadron leader, who was staring at his cheeks flushed, scolded: "What are you scouting troops doing, following the troops behind the Eighth Route Army in the forest for more than two hours before you find out that you have been fooled!" ”
"Do you know how far the Eighth Route Army breakthrough troops could go in the woods more than two hours ago?"
"At least ten kilometers, which means that we are almost fifteen kilometers away from them now, the vast mountains, the two troops are more than fifteen kilometers apart, how can we find them!"
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Speaking of which, Kimura slapped the squadron leader in the face several times, directly turning the other party into a pig's face!
The squadron leader's heart was full of fear, if he finally let the garrison slip away because of his own mistakes, then even if he died ten thousand times, it would not be enough to calm the anger of the empire!
With the last glimmer of hope, he summoned up the courage to ask for battle: "Please give the lowly post another chance!" ”
"Humble promise to find the traces of the garrison regiment and lead the main force to catch up with them!"
"If you can't do it, you don't need to give an order from the commander, and you can apologize to His Majesty the Emperor by disembowelment!"
The total strength of the troops entering the mountain has been sharply reduced to more than 1,200 people, and there must be a dangerous rush ahead, and there are killing opportunities everywhere, so every soldier alive is very important to Kimura, especially the grassroots commanders!
Kimura wanted to shoot him, but in the end he held back and scolded!
"Then what are you doing in a daze? Find the trails left by the breakout troops of the garrison regiment and catch up with them! ”
Ten minutes later, the devils continued to set off, and this time they found the same traces deliberately left by the commandos, and there were traces that had been deliberately smoothed and covered!
"This must be left by the breakthrough troops of the Eighth Route Army, the traces have been artificially covered and erased, it must have been done by the troops behind their palace, and they don't want us to find them!" Nakasa Kimura heard the report and judged!
Then he ordered with a serious face: "Just follow these traces, this time there must be no more accidents!" ”
The Japanese army moved, and the troops behind the garrison regiment also followed!
"Captain Xiao, how are we going to fight this time!" Sun Jiawu's eyes lit up and asked!
After fighting for two hours just now, with Xiao Yuan's style of play, not only did he easily kill the three squads of the devils, but his own casualties were minimal, only three were sacrificed and one was injured.
The huge casualty ratio made him highly respected by Xiao Yuan!
Seeing the devil start to act, he immediately looked at Xiao Yuan, wondering if he had a more powerful fighting style!
Xiao Yuan directly ordered: "The devils suffered heavy casualties just now, they will definitely not be fooled again with the old way!" ”
"And they now know that they have been walking around the forest with us for two hours, and if they don't do it, they won't be able to keep up with the main force!"
"In order not to lose, they will definitely be crazier and more anxious than the previous pursuit, and more at any cost!"
"In that case, then we will do it!"
"Attack them directly on the road and hit them with the most fierce firepower!"
"If the devil doesn't send troops to fight back, we will keep sneaking up! If we send troops to fight back, we will eat them counterattacking troops! ”
"The direction of their pursuit now is what we deliberately left for the little devils, and the farther they go in this direction, the farther away from the main force will be, and the more unlikely it will be to find them!"
"So the next thing we have is time to clean them up!"
"A soldier kills five devils through a sneak attack, and more than half of the remaining more than a thousand little devils will be killed or wounded!"
"If one soldier kills ten devils, more than a thousand little devils will be wiped out by us!"
"Let's get moving, everyone keep up the good work and try to eliminate more little devils!"
At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, in the dense forest where the garrison regiment was hiding, except for the guard post, everyone else was sleeping!
Li Hao and Hong Linfeng did not rest!
The remaining devils in Lingqiu City, the devils who had just arrived in Lingqiu, entered the mountain one after another, and they were in a posture of turning the mountain under their feet upside down!
Before getting rid of these chasing troops, Li Hao couldn't get up at all, let alone rest!
"Regiment commander, the troops are all replenished!"
"Commander Yuan of the artillery battalion made a military order with me, and he only needs sixty gunners to ensure that two mountain guns and six mortars can fight normally! So in addition to the sixty gunners left by him personally, the remaining more than two hundred people in the artillery battalion all replenished the three main battalions! ”
"Now the three main battalions have reached the standard of three main companies!"
"Each battalion has one hundred and twenty-five people, and there are nine infantry squads under its jurisdiction!"
"There are more than two dozen artillery pieces, and I plan to replenish the guard company and reconnaissance company!"
Li Hao frowned, and then ordered: "Since the troops are gone, there is no need to call the battalion again!" Not only will it attract more fierce attacks from the little devils, but it is also inconvenient to command the troops! ”
"Nothing but bluffing!"
"Pass on my order, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops, the whole garrison regiment will be downsized!"
"From now on, the battalion commander is the company commander, the company commander is the platoon commander, the platoon commander is the squad leader, and the squad leader is the soldier!"
"The garrison regiment was temporarily reduced to three main companies, an artillery company, a cavalry company, a guard company, and a reconnaissance company!"
"Tell everyone, when we get to Datong, as long as we can lay down two coal mines, we will have as many soldiers as we want!"
"Can you go back to be a battalion commander and company commander, then you have to rely on your own ability to see if you have the ability to mobilize those absentees from prisoners of war to join our Eighth Route Army!"
At three o'clock in the afternoon, a few gunshots could already be faintly heard at the garrison regiment station!
"It must be the little devil chasing soldiers who are about to find it!" Li Hao frowned and judged!
"Chief of Staff, everyone has also rested for five or six hours, let's rest for another hour, and then we will transfer!"
When the sleeping soldiers were woken up one by one, Sun Jiawu, the commander of the guard company, suddenly appeared in the camp!
"Regiment Commander, Captain Xiao asked me to come back and report: ask the main force to cooperate and eat the little devil chasers who are clinging to us!"
"These little devils are crazy, and they are completely desperate to hunt us down!"
"More than 2,000 people have already fought to more than 600 people, and don't give up!"
"There are three more brigades entering the mountains one after another, if we can't kill this Japanese army as soon as possible, the gunfire generated by the exchange of fire between the two sides will become the target of other devils, and then attract more little devils to kill!"
Li Hao asked very seriously: "Xiao Yuan thinks how can we cooperate?" ”
"Wait until it's dark!" Sun Jiawu hurriedly reported!
"After the little devil plane leaves after dark, the main force will look for favorable terrain to arrange the pocket array, and we will lead the remaining devils to the pocket array!"
"The devil has gone crazy, and he is chasing after the traces left by the main force, and our sneak attacks along the way are not taken into account at all!"
"Now that the pocket array is arranged, they will definitely have no defense, and they will go straight in!"
Li Hao thought for a few seconds and made a decision: "The idea is very good, I agree!" ”
"Go back and tell Xiao Yuan, I'll start looking for favorable terrain now!"
"The Pocket Array is ready, and someone will be sent to contact you! Since this little devil took the initiative to send it to the door and wanted to die, then we will eat it! ”
