Chapter 1418: Breakthrough Successful? (Second Update!) )

"Woooooooooo......oo Shelling, sir, be careful, lie down ......"

The screeching of shells reached the ears of the chief of staff again, and the nervous screams of the guards sounded in his ears as soon as he was stunned.

Recently, two guards pounced on the chief of staff like leopards.

With a "plop ......", the chief of staff was thrown to the ground by the guards, and because he was not prepared, he was directly thrown and eaten by a dog.

"Boom ......"

Thunderous explosions sounded at the same time, and the chief of staff's ears buzzed as if they were deaf. The wave of qi swept over everyone's heads, and the back felt as if it had been roasted by a raging fire, and it was very painful.

It took several seconds for the chief of staff to regain his strength.

The two guards didn't wait for orders, they got up and ran to the nearby mountains with him on their left and right.

Compared to roads, the terrain in the mountains is more complicated, and hiding in them can minimize the damage of shells and increase the chance of survival.

"Boom ......"

The second round of shells fell from the sky, and the chief of staff was again thrown to the ground by the guards.

After the shelling, he got up and continued to run into the mountain, and finally ran behind a small hill before the third round of shells fell.

Only then did the embarrassed chief of staff calm down and crouch behind the dirt bag to look out.

It was already dark, and the flames of the explosion were particularly dazzling.

Many soldiers were blown away in the firelight.

The impact points are everywhere, there is no discipline, and at a glance you can see that the opponent is extending the artillery fire and expanding the results of the battle.

The chief of staff's expression became heavier and heavier, although there was still a trace of unwillingness in his mind, but he had already made a decision in his heart and decisively ordered: "You can't stay here any longer." ”

"Pass the order: the troops will break through now, leave here as a squadron, run back three kilometers to assemble after evacuating the battlefield, and then go to raid the heavy artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army."

"The telegraph operator immediately reported my decision to the brigade commander and asked him to send troops at the city gate to prepare for it. We defeated the heavy artillery units of the Eighth Route Army and withdrew to Datong. ”

The troops were scattered on the battlefield in squadrons, and now they were shelled again, and it was definitely more chaotic.

In order to pass the breakout order to them as soon as possible, except for a few personal guards, the others were all sent out by the chief of staff.

"Boom...... Dadada......"

Just as the chief of staff and other subordinates were reacting, a burst of gunfire suddenly came from the right flank of the battlefield, less than 500 meters away.

As soon as he turned around, the chief of staff saw several fires rising from the ground, and from time to time a few lines of machine-gun fire appeared in the darkening night.

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army is coming at us from the flank." A captain next to him reminded.

A few seconds later, a figure appeared in their field of vision, running towards them in a hurry.

When he was still five or six meters away, he gasped and reported while running: "Sir, our right flank has killed a lot of the Eighth Route Army, and at least one main battalion ......"

"Sir, the left flank has also killed a large number of Eighth Route Army, equipped with mortars and heavy machine guns, and the most advanced squadron is desperately intercepting it." A second lieutenant also ran behind him, very nervous to report.

The chief of staff was anxious and immediately ordered: "The troops will break through now, and there is more and more evidence that the Eighth Route Army really wants to encircle and annihilate us here." ”

"Before the encirclement is formed, hurry up and rush out."

The captain followed the order: "What are you still doing in a daze, immediately protect His Excellency the Chief of Staff to break through and transfer." ”

At the commanding heights of Chen Touling, Li Hao looked at the battlefield, and a surprised expression slowly appeared on his face.

The war did not go exactly as planned.

According to past experience, more than 200 heavy artillery shells were smashed down, and the Japanese army would definitely suffer heavy casualties and become a mess.

They had apparently divided their forces in advance, the area under their control was large, the heavy artillery battalion had fought several rounds, and the troops had not received a single shell, and the planned chaos did not appear.

After receiving the order to break through, they even saved the step of gathering troops, picked up their guns and left.

The reaction speed was also faster than that of the Japanese troops encountered before, and there was no light artillery bombardment to gather troops to break through, but as soon as the artillery fire was extended, the troops who were not in chaos were commanded to start breaking through.

In order not to startle the snake and avoid the scouts of the Japanese puppet army, the hidden troops were also 500 meters away from the battlefield, and there were 1 kilometer away.

Only after the heavy artillery battalion opened fire did they have the conditions to fight on the battlefield.

It only took two or three minutes for the artillery fire to extend, and in the end, less than forty percent of the latent troops went to the battlefield to exchange fire with the Japanese puppet army, and the other lurking troops were still on the way to attack.

As a result, for many days, the puppet army not only did not suffer from bombing, but also had no troops to intercept and drag them, and after receiving the order to break through, they rushed smoothly in the direction of the target.

All kinds of accidents are gathered together, and it is doomed that this siege battle will not end successfully.

On the battlefield, for many days, the puppet army began to run in the direction of the breakthrough after receiving the order to break through, and the troops attacking them were either still rushing to the battlefield a few hundred meters away, or were dragged by the troops behind the palace, and they could only sigh with admiration.

As a result, these Japanese puppet troops did not encounter any interception when they broke through and easily withdrew from the battlefield.

"Regiment commander, the devil reacted too quickly, according to the development of this situation, the Japanese puppet army can run out of at least a thousand people." The more Hong Linfeng looked, the more anxious he became.

The surprised expression on Li Hao's face was slowly replaced by calmness, and he looked at Hong Linfeng and comforted: "Don't worry. ”

"Wang Xin has cut off the only way for the devil to return to Datong."

"Don't look at the many Japanese puppet troops who broke through, but they are all in a hurry to flee for their lives, and they rarely carry heavy weapons."

"Wang Xinke brought a lot of heavy machine guns and mortars, as long as we can block the breakthrough troops for 20 minutes on the way, we can catch up and reunite with them."

"Send a telegram to Wang Xin now: be ready to intercept."

"Send out all the heralds of the regimental headquarters: order the troops who have not yet exchanged fire with the devils not to go to the battlefield again, and directly turn around and pursue the Japanese puppet army breakthrough troops."

"The troops who have already exchanged fire with the devils should not be in a hurry, and they will fight steadily."

"We've won this battle, and now the goal is to get rid of them at the least cost."

The chief of staff of the Japanese army ran wildly all the way and ran for half an hour before arriving at the planned assembly site.

The troops who broke through here in advance already had 500 people, and there were troops coming behind one after another.

The pursuing troops of the Eighth Route Army also killed, and the gunfire was getting closer and closer, and it sounded as if it was less than a kilometer away.

The chief of staff immediately ordered: "We will go and raid the heavy artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army now." ”

"Leave a team here to pick up the follow-up breakthrough troops, and if you gather enough 100 people, they will come after us."

"After the pursuit force of the Eighth Route Army arrives, the receiving troops must hold them for at least half an hour at all costs to buy time for us to raid the heavy artillery position."

The ordinary infantry of the Japanese army was the group of people who were most poisoned by bushido, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as crazy.

Knowing that this was a life-and-death task, after the chief of staff finished speaking, a large number of officers still took the initiative to ask for war and asked to stay.

In the end, the chief of staff chose a wounded officer who was not suitable for a long march.

The soldiers who remained were also wounded.

As soon as the order was given, they began to build a temporary defensive line with local materials.

The chief of staff did not give up, and led his troops to the heavy artillery position.
