Chapter 132: The embarrassed Miura
Looking at the captain of the infantry wing who had fallen to the ground and had lost his breath, Shinhei Miura, who led the troops to join him, and the officers of the other wings, there was a feeling that the sky had fallen. The deadliest thing was that the shelling of the Shame camp never stopped.
Even if his vision is unclear at night, Sun Yuanqi, who is the artillery commander, still adjusts the angle of the shelling from time to time and shells the little devils who gather together. In Xu Mingzhi's words, it is to prevent the little devils from forming a large army to break through.
The small force broke through the encirclement, and the third and fourth companies, which had already established improvised blocking positions, were fully able to cope with it. But the little devils really want to rush over in a swarm, and if they want to block them all in the encirclement, I'm afraid that they may not be able to do it.
The officer of the infantry wing, who was half-squatting nearby, quickly said: "Miura Shaoza, the enemy is under heavy artillery fire, what should I do next?" ”
After a short period of panic, the little devil officer present immediately promoted Mahei Miura, who had the highest rank, to serve as the temporary commander of the wing. In any case, the wing commander has been killed in battle, and many officers and soldiers of the wing are still alive?
Miura Shinpei, who forcibly calmed himself down, looked at the battlefield at the moment, as well as the sound of firefighting around the camp, and finally said calmly: "Gentlemen, the enemy situation is unknown, and forcibly breaking through will only increase casualties, I have an idea!" ”
Saying the breakthrough strategy he thought of, the other little devil officers were stunned and said, "Miura Shaozo, in this case, what about the rest of the troops?" In doing so, we are giving them up completely! ”
"I don't want to give such an order if there was a better alternative. But the situation on the battlefield at this moment does not allow us to hesitate too much. Once the Chinese army launches a counterattack, how long do you think we can resist? ”
After listening to Miura Mahei's explanation, the other officers quickly fell silent. On the battlefield, sometimes you have to make a quick decision, and too much hesitation will only miss the fighter. As far as the current battlefield situation is concerned, Miura Zhenhei's choice is very correct.
Perhaps seeing the hesitation of the officers, Miura Shinhei continued: "Judging from the situation on the battlefield, the Shina army also did not dare to release an attack easily, which gave us the opportunity to retreat. As soon as we crossed the river safely, we jumped out of the encirclement of the Chinese army.
The troops who successfully crossed the river set up blocking positions along the river to meet the remaining soldiers who might cross the river and break through. If the Chinese army pursues, they will have to leave the blocking position, and we will not suffer too much in that fight! ”
Earlier, when he rushed out of the barracks with the wing commander, Shinhei Miura suggested breaking through from the river. Although the river was a little deep and the water was cold, there was no sign of the Chinese army on the other side of the river, and there were no attackers on the camp.
After finding some tools to cross the river safely, by the way, use the river water to wash away the poisonous * gas that was previously contaminated on the body. Once ashore, find a position that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and then sit back and wait for the attackers to attack.
Even after crossing the river, you can find some dry wood to light a bonfire and dry the military uniforms of the officers and soldiers crossing the river. Even if he could gather a squadron of troops around him, Miura believed that these attackers might not dare to pursue them.
In addition, it is not far from dawn now, even if the attackers start a pursuit, Miura Shinpei will be able to delay time. After daybreak, he exchanged fire with the anti-Japanese forces in the field, and Miura believed that the Japanese had more chances of victory.
"Miura Shaozo, according to the battlefield regulations, you are now the supreme commander of the troops, you can give the order!"
"Good! Ladies and gentlemen, for the sake of the opportunity to avenge the Wing Captain and to preserve the battle flag of our Wing, I order everyone to retreat to the camp first. Then dismantle the tent and set up the means to cross the river, and then withdraw to the other side of the river. ”
"Hey!"
The reason why I chose to return to the camp first was more because I needed some tools to cross the river, even if many Japanese soldiers could swim. But after they crossed the river, they still needed to keep some supplies, weapons and ammunition.
If they give up their weapons, ammunition and supplies, then they will really die. Another advantage of returning to camp and crossing the river again was that it could disguise their attempts to cross the river and break through, so that the surrounding ambushers would not dare to pursue them easily.
In any case, at this moment, the military camp is still filled with deadly mustard gas. As long as the ambusher is not stupid, he believes that he will not be in danger easily. But Miura Mahei and others all carried gas masks when they left the camp, and it didn't hurt to go back.
With Miura Zhenpei ordering the retreat, Sun Yuanqi, who was shortening the shelling distance, took advantage of the explosion to see that the little devils were retreating, and he also said with a puzzled face: "What are these little devils doing?" How did you return to the barracks? ”
"Company commander, the wind has been blowing just now, and the poisonous * gas bomb we hit in front of the barracks earlier is estimated to have blown to the back. Will these little devils plan to retreat and hold on until dawn? ”
"Who knows! Tell the brothers to save some shells and see how it goes! ”
"Yes, company commander!"
The corpses left behind, and the Japanese troops, who had previously broken through en masse, suddenly returned to the camp. This situation really made Xu Mingzhi, who supervised the war, confused, and couldn't figure out what kind of medicine the little devil was selling in the gourd.
When the little devil safely withdrew to the barracks, Miura Zhenpei also said with satisfaction: "Gentlemen, it seems that my guess is correct, our sudden retreat will definitely make the commander of the Shina Army suspicious." At this time, we can't stop, let's take action immediately! ”
"Hey!"
I thought that the shells would explode behind me, but when I ran back to the camp, I found that the other party's artillery fire had not reached the barracks. With a long sigh of relief in his heart, he followed the officers who broke through Miura Mahei and quickly built a tool to cross the river.
The corpse of the infantry wing commander who had been killed in battle was also carried back by Miura Shinpei. As for the other little devils who died in battle, Miura Mahei didn't have time to rein, so he could only wait for the battle to see if there was a chance to rein.
Two squads were sent in advance to build blocking positions on both sides of the river crossing area, and the rest of the Japanese troops began to throw the wooden planks used to build barracks on the silt that crossed the river, so that it could form a wooden bridge, so that the follow-up troops could march and jump into the river and swim to the other side of the river.
When everything was ready, Shinhei Miura quickly said, "Quick! Act immediately, don't be afraid of the cold, swim to the other side of the river, we can make a fire, and our clothes will be dried quickly. The most important thing now is to swim to the other side of the river! ”
After saying this, Shinpei Miura, let the squadron leader, who always followed him, lead the team into the icy river. Some of the supplies, weapons and ammunition collected from the camp were also placed on wooden rafts and pulled across the river.
To Miura's delight, the current of the river was not so turbulent that even a soldier who could swim could easily swim to the other side of the river. When the first soldiers successfully landed, Miura Mahei no longer hesitated and immediately jumped into the icy water.
Feeling the taste of the river soaking his skin, Miura Mahei couldn't help but gasp, but he still said: "Hold on, your hands and feet are moving, don't be afraid, swim quickly, swim to the other side of the river and be safe!" ”
Shouting to the soldiers who jumped into the river beside him, he took the opportunity to divert his attention and at the same time encouraged the officers and soldiers who broke through. Not long after, under the help of the first batch of soldiers who came ashore, Miura Mahei arrived safely on the other side of the river.
Carrying the body of the wing commander who was personally in charge ashore, Miura Shinpei quickly said: "Immediately send people to the two sides to carry out reconnaissance." When scouting, remember to pick up some dry firewood. There's a small hill over there, and we'll make a fire there to pick up the follow-up troops! ”
"Hey!"
The little devil who had already come ashore felt that the clothes soaked in the river were extremely heavy, and he also felt that the temperature on his body was slowly disappearing. But they know better that they can't stop at this time, and they must move to maintain their body temperature.
If you really stop and don't move, your body will definitely become stiff when you cool down quickly. With these little devils all in action, and the breakout plan formulated by Shinpei Miura, everything seems to be going well.
At this moment, Hu Biao and his entourage, who were raiding along the riverbank, soon saw the flashlight on the other side of the river, and when they saw this scene, Hu Biao said tightly in his heart: "Not good!" The little devils really broke through the river, and they ran really fast! ”
"On such a cold day, breaking through the river should not taste good!"
"No matter how uncomfortable it is, it's better than losing your life! Guard platoon, speed up the speed and prepare to storm the barracks of the little devils! ”
"Yes, Battalion Commander!"
With Hu Biao's order to raid the order, the soldiers of the guard platoon who followed Hu Biao to clear the riverbank and flee the Japanese army also began to speed up the intensity of encirclement and suppression. When Hu Biao was about to arrive at the Japanese camp, he soon saw that there were not many little devils in the encirclement.
"Trumpeter, blow the trumpet! Order the whole battalion to attack! Guard platoon, follow me to attack the little devil barracks! ”
The bugler of the guard platoon was instructed to immediately blow the horn he carried, put on the gas mask he carried, and Hu Biao took the lead in the little devil barracks. It's a pity that the little devil barracks at this time have long been empty.
When Hu Biao rushed to the river where the little devil had retreated, the little devil who had already established a blocking position on the other side of the river immediately detained the machine gun and buckled the machine. In the face of the little devil's machine gun strafing, Hu Biao could only temporarily avoid the edge.
In view of this situation, Hu Biao quickly said: "Three knives, take a few brothers, watch here, and the others, follow me to clear the surviving little devils in the camp." Tell your brothers not to touch anything in the camp and beware of poison! ”
"Understood!"
In fact, when Hu Biao led people to chase them to the river where the Japanese army broke through, Miura Shinpei, who was staying on the other side of the river, also saw Hu Biao and his party wearing gas masks in pursuit. Seeing that Hu Biao really dared to rush into the camp, Miura Zhenping was also secretly happy.
If he hadn't made a quick decision and returned to the camp to cross the river to break through, Hu Biao and his party would have been entangled, and they might have been wiped out on the other side of the river. Although there were not many troops withdrawn this time, the battle flag of the wing was finally saved.
In addition, the troops that successfully crossed the river with him also had nearly two squadrons of more than 400 troops. As for the rest of the wing, they are only afraid of more evil and less luck at the moment. Thinking of this, Mahei Miura also felt a deep chill.
"When I return to the division, I must know who commanded this night raid, and I must avenge this revenge!"
While saying this, Miura Shinpei suspected that tonight's attacker was likely to be the same group of routs that fought during the day. If this is the case, then this group of routs is likely to become a big problem in the rear of the Japanese army in the future!
