As the saying goes, 'disaster does not go alone', and for the infantry brigades and regiments retreating to the city at this moment, the news that ammunition is about to run out has undoubtedly increased everyone's worries. As soldiers, they know better than anyone what will happen if they run out of bullets.

Fortunately, as far as the current situation is concerned, in the hands of the surviving little devils, a certain base of ammunition is still retained. Save a little use, and you should be able to last for a while. But in the face of the imminent encirclement, the little devil can't save ammunition at all.

Save a little, that means that the attacking troops will accelerate the speed of the encirclement. Blocking with all your might means that your ammo will be depleted faster. When the ammunition carried by the soldiers is gone, then they really have to wait for death.

Listening to the report of the brigade staff officer, the commander of the infantry brigade was about to wrinkle his brows, and said with a bitter face: "How did things come out like this!" If we continue to fight, we will find it difficult to hold on until dawn! ”

"General, it seems that we have to find other ways to continue to delay, but I am afraid that the situation will become more dangerous!"

A wing commander standing next to the brigade commander also knew that if he continued to block the attack, the ammunition would continue to be consumed. If they run out of ammunition, they'll be really finished, and they won't be able to run if they want to.

When the other adjutants heard what the wing captain said, they also began to think. It's just that matters involving the life and death of the brigade and regiment ultimately need to be decided by the brigade commander. Except for the two wing captains, they didn't have much to say.

After thinking about it for a while, the commander of the infantry brigade said: "Gentlemen, in view of the current situation, I have decided to break through!" What do you think? ”

"General! If we break through, then we have to make a decision early. But where do we break through? ”

Thinking of the south of the city that has been captured and the west of the abandoned city, the Japanese army in the city only controls the main gate in the east of the city. The problem is that the gunfire in the east of the city has not stopped, and the previous blocking at the city gate has already scared them.

As long as you think of the lethality formed by the four anti-aircraft machine guns, if you want to break through from the east of the city, you must have to pay a heavy price when you break through. Aside from the east of the city, it seems that the only choice left for the Japanese army is the north of the city.

After some deliberation and discussion, the commander of the infantry brigade finally decided to break through to the north of the city. In the eyes of the Japanese army, although there was no city wall in the north of the city, it was more conducive to them to break through in all directions. If the attacking side wants to close the circle, it will be difficult to do so.

With this decision, the commander of the infantry brigade immediately said: "Notify the city defense troops, alternately cover the withdrawal from the battle." Order the troops withdrawn from the west of the city, cooperate with the remaining two infantry brigades, and make every effort to open the retreat channel and control it! ”

"Hey!"

After receiving the order of the commander of the infantry brigade, most of the surviving Japanese troops who had originally built fortifications were very puzzled when they learned that they were going to break through. If they want to break through, then why did they build fortifications in the first place, isn't it a waste of time and physical strength?

Fortunately, they all knew that this was the commander's order, and they had no right to question, and some only resolutely obeyed. The troops that undertake the task of blocking are undoubtedly the most risky. The troops in charge of the counteroffensive are just as risky as they are not there.

Hu Biao, who was preparing his troops and began to encircle in the east of the city, heard the sudden fierce gunfire from the north of the city, and suddenly said in his heart: "Not good!" The little devil wants to break through, the guard platoon, hurry! Follow me! ”

Hearing Hu Biao's words, the guard platoon in charge of personal protection quickly followed Hu Biao to the place where the gunfire was most intense. The combat team that was originally responsible for blocking was indeed taken aback when they saw the little devils who were swarming to fight back with all their might.

Seeing that the little devils who rushed to the front ignored their machine gun strafing, the team leader also said in his heart: "Damn! The little devil seems to be playing with his life, and he is planning to break through to our side! ”

"Captain, what should I do?"

"Cold salad! The machine gunners took cover, and the rest of the personnel alternately covered and retreated, trying to lure the little devil to the blast zone. Fortunately, the detachment leader was prepared, and he waited for the little devil to come and send him to death. Retreat, don't fight hard with the little devil, let the little devil be happy for a while! ”

"Yes, Captain!"

With only a dozen or so combat squads, it was already a bit difficult to block a Japanese squadron. Now in the face of the charge launched by hundreds of little devils, they naturally dare not be careless. No matter how heavy the machine gun fire is, there are only two of them.

The bullets that can be fired are limited to the little devils they can kill. If you really want the little devils to rush to you, it is very likely that they will die by then. The team leader who led the team knew this, so he decided to retreat decisively to make the little devil happy.

The little devils, who were planning to fight for their lives, saw the mysterious troops blocking them, and they began to retreat step by step. The captain of the Japanese army in charge of the command immediately said excitedly: "Attack at full speed!" Quick, inform the general, it's time to retreat! ”

In order to ensure the safety of the follow-up breakthrough of the large army, the captain of the Japanese army who was responsible for opening the road also kept his troops to establish defensive positions during the attack. This is also to ensure that the troops will not be disturbed by sudden attacks in the process of breaking through.

When Hu Biao led the guard platoon to the area where he had fought before, looking at the little devil who had already deployed a guard and defense position, Hu Biao was not angry, but said with a long sigh of relief: "Not bad!" Xiao Li, this kid is quite clever! ”

The Xiao Li in Hu Biao's mouth is the combat team leader left by Hu Biao before. Hearing the gunshots just now, Hu Biao realized that the little devil was going to break through, and he was also worried that the combat team would desperately block it. The consequences will undoubtedly be extremely serious.

For Hu Biao, the loss of a few team members in the process of the battle is still acceptable. If it was a casualty of the establishment, he would definitely feel sad. Now that he saw that the combat team had withdrawn to the rear, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Outside the two explosion areas deployed in advance in the north of the city, Hu Biao still retained the strength of two combat platoons. What they need to do is to guard against the Japanese army who may break through from the north of the city. Hold off for a while, then detonate the planted explosives.

Now seeing that the little devil really broke through with all his might, Hu Biao also realized that the little devil must be in trouble and had to choose to break through. This also means that the little devil must feel that breaking through will be less risky than holding his ground.

With this information, Hu Biao boldly predicted that the little devil was only afraid that there would be problems with the remaining ammunition and troops. In order to avoid being wiped out, the little devil had to break through with all his might. In that case, at least some living force can be preserved.

Analyzing this conclusion, Hu Biao immediately said: "Someone! Immediately notify Lin Tuanzuo and pay attention to the situation of the defenders at the head of the city at any time. Once he found that the defenders of the city had withdrawn, he immediately led his troops to rush into the city and pursue the little devils in the city.

The order, the troops responsible for the attack to the west of the city, began to enter the city to attack, compressing and persecuting the little devils. Tell the commanders of the units not to force the attack, just force the little devils to exchange fire, and mainly consume the devil's ammunition.

Later, when they heard the explosion from the north of the city, they immediately launched a strong attack and surrounded the remaining little devils in the city with all their might. If you don't hear the explosion, you can't attack with all your might. This point must be explained clearly! ”

"Yes, detachment leader!"

"Go ahead! Be careful on the road! ”

Sending soldiers to convey orders to the troops, Hu Biao chose a detour, avoiding the little devil's breakthrough route, and detouring to the location of the blocking troops. The two combat platoons that were reinforcing the blocking fortifications also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Hu Biao arrive.

Listening to the firefight from the front, Hu Biao also said directly: "Send two squads to take the combat team back!" Remember, don't retreat too fast, make the little devils feel that we don't have many troops, but we don't want them to break through! ”

"Yes, detachment leader!"

The two combat platoons that received the order were each assigned a combat squad to the area of the civilian house where the explosives were planted. Seeing the troops who came to respond, the members of the combat team were also surprised: "Why did you come up?" ”

"The detachment leader asked us to come over! Stand back and rest for a while! Let's fight a wave! ”

"Good! Then you guys take it first and buy us a little time! ”

They are all old comrades-in-arms, so naturally there is no need to be polite. Along the way, two members of the combat team were slightly injured and one member was seriously injured. Fortunately, the three team members were all brought back. Now someone took over and immediately sent to the rear for treatment and bandaging.

Some of the little devils who rushed to the front were about to chase after them when they saw several machine gun fire chains suddenly fired in front of them, and they were instantly knocked to the ground. The little devil who escaped was also very decisive and lay down on the spot.

"Yaga! They have reinforcements! Damn, let the troops behind follow, can't give them much time! ”

I knew that if I wanted to break out tonight, I had to be caught off guard by the attacking troops. finally chased here, and in the face of a few extra machine gun firepower, the little devil was naturally unwilling to stop there. Even if you use your life to fill it, you have to fill in an escape route.

When the follow-up troops arrived, the little devil once again used the collective charge tactic. In addition, the little devil used grenadiers to threaten, and the two combat squads responsible for blocking the attack also retreated to the rear under the orders of their respective squad leaders.

Seeing this scene, the infantry captain who led the team also said directly: "Pursuit!" Don't give the enemy a chance to breathe, keep rushing! ”

The time gained by the two combat squads was enough for Hu Biao to build a simple artillery position behind the combat platoon. Considering that all the anti-aircraft machine guns had been taken out, Hu Biao could only bring out a few machine guns.

The soldiers of the guard platoon waiting for Hu Biao's side, when they saw these machine guns, couldn't help but grin and laugh: "This big killing weapon is more ferocious than an anti-aircraft machine gun." The little devil is afraid that he will cry again! ”

The veteran team members who have followed Hu Biao for a long time have fired this kind of machine gun as early as the defense of Jinling. They are also very aware of the power and range of the cannon. Seeing it now, it is also very kind.

Although he was still curious in his heart, Hu Biao took out the weapon from there. But they knew that they wouldn't say anything if they asked Hu Biao. Moreover, for the soldiers of these guard platoons, they are also in awe of Hu Biao.

Every time they saw these weapons that suddenly appeared, they would deepen their sense of awe for Hu Biao. In the eyes of these warriors, Hu Biao's means are undoubtedly like immortals. What an honor it is for them to follow such people!
