Chapter 1417: The Price of Unwillingness (First Update!) )
Nearly 400 devils and more than 300 puppet soldiers came and retreated quickly.
As soon as the covering artillery fire stopped, they turned around and began to run back, especially the puppet army.
When attacking, they rushed to the front to block the bullets of the devils, and everyone was ready to die here.
Now that I suddenly have a chance to live, I definitely don't want to let it go.
But this opportunity is not so easy to grasp.
Because he rushed to the front during the attack, he naturally ran last after retreating, and once again took on the task of blocking bullets for the Japanese army.
If the Eighth Route Army took the opportunity to fight out of the position and chase after the butt and fight, they would definitely bear the brunt and be the first to be killed.
In order to survive, everyone ran back desperately, not wanting to expose their backs directly to the guns of the Eighth Route Army.
On the blocking position, Tan Weiqi didn't expect the turning point of the battle situation to come so quickly.
The attacking troops, which were still imposing just now, suddenly turned into lost dogs, and the Japanese army and the puppet army all rushed to retreat to the rear.
Immediately after, the shocked expression on his face was covered with excitement, and he hurriedly ordered: "All the artillery opens fire and hits the Japanese heavy machine gun position." ”
"Light and heavy machine gun cover, the whole battalion will be killed for me."
"I'm going to beat the water dogs and avenge the soldiers who died just now."
"Kill ......"
After giving the order, Tan Weiqi jumped out of the position first, holding the box cannon in his hand, like a wild horse that had escaped the reins, galloping towards the Asahi puppet army.
The fighters of the third battalion guard company were in a hurry.
If something happens to the battalion commander on the battlefield, they will be the sinners of the entire three battalions, and there will be no redemption for death.
They rushed out of the trenches immediately after, each faster than the other, and they all wanted to rush in front of the battalion commander to protect him.
The entire counteroffensive force, led by Tan Weiqi and the guard company, looked down from the air, like a sharp blade, directly into the retreating troops of the Japanese puppet army.
The chief of staff of the devil happened to see this scene.
Immediately ordered: "The counteroffensive forces of the Eighth Route Army must be stopped, otherwise the retreat will turn into a rout." ”
"All the Imperial Allied troops in the attacking troops stopped to block the counteroffensive troops of the Eighth Route Army, and the Imperial Army left an infantry squad to supervise the battle, and the others continued to retreat."
After giving the order, the chief of staff's expression became heavier than just now.
Frowning and muttering to himself, "This is wrong! ”
"It is impossible for the Eighth Route Army operating in Datong to have heavy artillery, but there are heavy artillery here to participate in the battle, and there must be other Eighth Route Armies entering Datong."
"Garrison regiment, only the garrison regiment of the Eighth Route Army has so many heavy artillery nearby."
"And the battle in front of me, at first it looked like an ordinary blocking battle, but now it doesn't look like it at all."
"Looking at the current posture of the Eighth Route Army, it is clear that it wants to annihilate us all here."
The captain also realized that something was wrong and quickly said what he thought.
"Sir, I agree with your judgment."
"If the Eighth Route Army is just here to stop us and buy time for their main force, there is no need to use heavy artillery."
"If the garrison regiment really came to Datong, according to their previous combat style, they would not use heavy artillery for a coal mine and more than a thousand imperial troops."
"There's definitely a conspiracy in here that we don't know about."
"There's one more thing I don't understand."
"The military department has reported a piece of information: the garrison regiment suffered heavy casualties in a surprise attack by the military headquarters, and now more than eighty percent of the soldiers are new recruits, and their combat effectiveness is extremely poor, how can they have the courage to enter Datong to fight us, and they are not worried about falling into the tiger's mouth?"
The other captain was similarly puzzled, but his face was more worried.
He then reminded: "Sir, if the Eighth Route Army really intends to kill us here." ”
"The troops must retreat immediately, and they must be divided."
"The power of heavy artillery is too great, if you blow up a large area and the troops are too concentrated, a single shell may reimburse us for an infantry squad."
The chief of staff was moved, but he was a little unwilling.
Although everyone can't figure out why there is heavy artillery here.
But whether the Eighth Route Army really wants to annihilate everyone here remains to be proven.
If it's just that everyone is too worried, the judgment just now is wrong, this battle is not so complicated, and the appearance of heavy artillery is to intercept everyone here, then the fighters that have severely damaged the main force of the Eighth Route Army and destroyed the equipment will slip away from under their noses.
The more the chief of staff thought about it, the more hesitant he became.
At this time, a captain couldn't help but remind: "Sir, the fighter plane is fleeting, if you want to retreat, you must hurry up, and you can't delay for a second." ”
"Don't be in a hurry to retreat yet!" The chief of staff was still reluctant to miss this opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the Eighth Route Army, and finally made up his mind.
The two captains said that they had been waiting for such an order for a long time, and this result was obviously not what they wanted.
After discussing it, they objected in unison: "Think twice, sir." ”
When he was about to continue, the chief of staff directly interrupted: "Don't worry, I won't joke with the lives of so many soldiers." ”
"We're just not retreating for the time being, not not retreating."
"When the situation is clearer and we can see what the purpose of the Eighth Route Army is, we will decide whether to retreat."
"Of course, we can't be idle while waiting."
"The attacking troops resolutely block the enemy's counteroffensive forces, and the reconnaissance troops expand the search area, and if the Eighth Route Army kills them, report to me immediately."
"Other units are scattered in squadrons, mitigating the threat of heavy artillery to us, ready to retreat at any moment."
"The artillery will find the enemy's heavy artillery position as soon as possible, if there is really a conspiracy here, we will not return to the city after breaking through, and find a way to raid their heavy artillery position."
"This is what the military department has always wanted to kill, and taking them down is also a great achievement."
Seeing that the chief of staff was already prepared with both hands, attacking and retreating, and defending, the tense nerves of the two captains were finally relieved.
When he heard that the troops could easily take out the garrison heavy artillery battalion when they retreated, the eyes that were still full of worry just now immediately began to glow.
It's like seeing the exploits of war and then beckoning to yourself.
At this moment, the sound of artillery from the artillery position suddenly stopped.
The three of them looked at each other for a moment, and they all saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
Subconsciously thought that the shelling of the heavy artillery battalion was over.
With such a short time for the shelling, the Eighth Route Army definitely did not make a big move.
The attacking troops also exchanged fire with the counteroffensive forces of the Eighth Route Army.
At the beginning, the puppet army, which was in a hurry to flee for its life, did not have any fighting spirit, and it collapsed at the first touch.
After more and more Japanese troops joined the battle, the rout of the puppet army was finally contained, and the offensive of the third battalion was also blocked.
It is not because of how strong the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is, but because the third battalion has been supplemented with a large number of new soldiers, and its combat effectiveness is far inferior to before.
At this moment, the three of them seemed to sense that the tide of the battle was moving in their favor.
To their disappointment, the good mood lasted less than a minute before it ended.
