The encirclement and anti-encirclement warfare, which began at noon, lasted until the evening. Looking at the accumulation of corpses on the hilltop position, as well as the shells that kept hitting the position, Miura Shinpei, who was unwilling, finally ordered a retreat.

In less than a day, the infantry brigade, which originally had nearly 1,200 men, had already suffered more than half of the casualties. Together with the artillery squadrons that were continuously damaged, the Japanese casualties in this offensive battle were nearly 1,000.

At such a heavy price, it was still impossible to capture the position built on the hill by the Snow Shame Camp. This frustration made Miura Mahei have to admit that he was the losing side in this battle and had to bear the consequences of defeat.

If the assault continues, it will only bury the remaining troops of the Miura brigade here. If that happens, Miura feels that he will not be able to atone for his sins. While the brigade still has some combat strength, it should be withdrawn from the mountains as soon as possible.

If you wait until it gets dark, you can't do it if you want to. Thinking of this, Miura Shinpei, who was ready to accept the punishment, finally said to the adjutant beside him: "Order the troops, retreat!" The fourth squadron, which is responsible for the rear of the palace, the troops alternately cover and withdraw from the battle! ”

"Hey!"

Not to mention that Miura Mahei admits defeat, many of the other red-eyed little devils have fallen into a desperate situation. In this offensive battle, they had never seen such an anti-war force with such abundant ammunition.

Machine guns, rifles, grenades and even artillery shells, as if they could never be fired. It was obvious that a machine gun position would be blown up, but it would not be long before another machine gun would be fired again at a position not far away.

In the face of crossfire from several machine guns, even if Miura Mahei organized a death squad, he still failed to break into a position fifty meters away from the defensive position. On the hillside within a hundred meters of the position, the bodies of the killed Japanese soldiers could be seen everywhere.

In such a tragic battle, how can you blame your subordinates for not fighting bravely? Miura felt that he couldn't say this. Correspondingly, the company responsible for defense also paid nearly half of the casualties, but it still gritted its teeth and persevered until now.

In addition, the logistics company that provided timely support also sacrificed nearly a platoon of troops. In this offensive and defensive battle, the Snow Shame Battalion fought very tenaciously. Even the battalion deputy Xu Mingzhi also felt that the tenacity of these soldiers was beyond his imagination.

In the case of the previous troops, many casualties would have collapsed after more than half of them. And in this defensive battle, the bravery and tenacity shown by the soldiers of the company can indeed be called an iron army. Many fighters fight to the end, and they have a feeling of detachment.

Fortunately, as the Japanese army retreated on all fronts, the soldiers who fought until the last moment finally couldn't help but cheer: "Victory!" We've won! The little devil ran away! We've finally defeated the little devils! We've finally won! ”

Looking at these soldiers cheering in the trenches, the two company commanders who stayed together and fought side by side, also had a kind of rebirth like a rebirth, and said with a smile: "I'm tired of Lao Tzu!" We have finally won this battle! ”

In the face of the little devils who had several times more troops than themselves, they held on to the end, and they couldn't get half a step closer to the trenches. This kind of record, they couldn't have imagined before. But today, they really did.

As the logistics company commander, Zhao Bing said even more excitedly: "Add dinner at night!" All brothers, one person and one head! ”

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers on the battlefield cheered again, but Tian Sili scolded with a smile: "Lao Zhao, you are a cub who sells Ye Tian's heart. The battalion deputy didn't dare to say this, but you kid said nonsense, don't you punish the battalion commander when he arrives? ”

"What are you afraid of! The brothers won the battle, what about a beef pickup for each person? Don't forget what the battalion commander said, we have more important tasks at night. Wouldn't it be easier to consume more of the materials in the cave? ”

"Whatever you want! Anyway, you promised these rabbit cubs, and you won't be able to fulfill it then, and it's not me who will lose face! By the way, as an extra word, Lao Tzu wants two beef heads. If there is wine, Lao Tzu really wants to drink two glasses to celebrate! ”

"Hey, hey! There's no wine in the warehouse, but the battalion commander should have it there. When the battalion commander comes back, I'll ask you then? The brothers have won such a big battle, it shouldn't be too much to drink a little wine to celebrate, right? ”

The joy of victory made the feelings of the two companies fighting side by side for the first time seem to have taken a step further. Fortunately, Tian Sili knew that now was far from the time to be happy, and when he saw the little devil walking away, he immediately ordered: "Don't jump, prepare to clean up the battlefield!" ”

"Yes, company commander!"

"Remember! The loot touched by the little devil will be handed over first. How to distribute it in the end, listen to the battalion commander then! ”

"Yes, remember!"

The soldiers, who originally hoped to make a little money by touching the corpse, did not refute it when they heard Tian Sili emphasize the discipline of the seizure. In their opinion, these little devils are here to fight, and there shouldn't be much value on them.

In the past, when cleaning the battlefield, the weapons and equipment and even the clothes of the little devils were all sought-after goods in the eyes of the soldiers. But for the soldiers of the Snow Shame Camp at this moment, their food, clothing, and use are better than those of the little devils, why should they hide the spoils of war privately?

At the same time, Hu Biao, who eliminated the two pursuing troops, led the guard platoon and the remaining fighters, and pursued the remaining troops of the third brigade all the way. In the face of the strong counterattack of Hu Biao and others, the third captain could only helplessly break through.

The so-called feng shui turns in turn, for the surviving Japanese troops of the third brigade, they never imagined that the situation would change so quickly. Before, they gritted their teeth and pursued Hu Biao and others who attacked them.

As a result, in less than half a day, they lost more than half of their troops, not to mention, and were chased and killed by Hu Biao and others behind their buttocks. In order to cover the captain's smooth breakthrough, the remaining little devils had to block and delay time.

The little devils who served as blockers, in the face of the powerful firepower and accurate marksmanship of Hu Biao and the guard platoon, all failed to block without exception. Fortunately, they used their lives to buy enough time for the remaining officers and the few remaining troops in the brigade to escape.

So much so that Hu Biao, who pursued to the mountain pass, saw the Japanese troops who were ordered to rush to reinforcements, so he could only order: "Stop pursuing!" Three knives, leading the guard platoon, set up a guard post along the mountain pass. If a little devil touches it, kill them all! ”

"Yes, Battalion Commander!"

"Others, return to the camp, inform the troops in the camp, and start cleaning up the battlefield! Attention, where the thunder is laid, don't go over casually! I'm going to take someone back and dismantle those mines.

Notify the logistics company that the whole battalion will have more food in the evening, and each person will be given a little devil's beef picks and biscuits. Before dinner, clean up the battlefield. The corpses of those little devils, stripped naked, all dug pits and buried! ”

"Yes, Battalion Commander!"

The platoon commander, who was ordered to return to the battalion to give orders, quickly led his soldiers back to the battalion headquarters located in the mountains. And Hu Biao took several guards and platoon soldiers to dismantle those tricky mines that had not yet been triggered.

If these mines are not dismantled, it is very likely that the troops will be injured by mistake if they move in the mountains in the future. This kind of thing can be dismantled if it can be clothed. If you don't know the location of the mines, it's also risky to try to dismantle them.

Before nightfall, the Snow Shame Battalion once again went out with all its battalions to clean up the battlefield. According to Hu Biao's order, all the clothes on the little devils were stripped of their clothes, and then thrown into the big pit dug next to them.

When digging pits and burying corpses, there are also officers who are specially responsible for registering them, so that it is convenient to count the results of the anti-encirclement and suppression battle. In any case, this was the result of the first collective operation of the Snow Shame Battalion, and it was naturally necessary for Hu Biao to know the detailed figures.

Later, when they report to the military commanders, they can also let the military commanders know how strong the combat effectiveness of this unit formed by prisoners of war is in their eyes. Hu Biao believes that when this achievement spreads, many generals of the national army will be moved.

After cleaning the battlefield, the soldiers who returned to the camp began to enjoy the celebration feast of victory. Miura Shinpei, who also returned to the station, and the third captain of the third brigade reprimanded the co-captain with a helpless face.

Shinpei Miura, who was the first to withdraw from the battle, was able to bring out the surviving troops after all, despite the heavy casualties. On the other hand, when the third captain who was in charge of the containment mission escaped from the mountain, there were less than 100 troops left around him.

This means that Mahei Miura, who is on the main offensive mission, is defeated but has something to say. And the fiasco of the 3rd Brigade was the real reason for the anger of the infantry wing commander. At the end of the day, the two brigades were almost wiped out, which is indeed a fiasco!

"Someone! Take care of this incompetent guy, and when you return to the division, let him personally apologize to the division commander! ”

Looking at the third captain who was detained by the guards, Shinpei Miura was glad that he didn't act rashly. Otherwise, after fighting out the remaining strength of the Miura Brigade, his fate would not be better than that of the third captain.

Looking at the co-captain who was still angry, Miura Zhenping also said carefully: "Your Excellency, Miura has failed your expectations and trust, and please deal with it!" I just hope that the captain of the co-captain can give Miura a chance to atone for his crimes! ”

"Eight Tooth Road! If it weren't for the fact that you've been with me from the little captain to the present, I would have shot you with one shot! ”

"Hey! Capital offense in office! ”

Miura Shinpei, who was slapped in the face, although he felt that his face was hot, he knew in his heart that he had escaped this catastrophe. From the day he joined the army, he followed the wing captain in front of him, and he knew very well what the character of this commander was.

Being able to slap him means that the co-captain thinks he can still be saved. If you don't reprimand or fight, Miura Mahei will feel uneasy inside. Abandoned by the most trusted commander, then his military career is afraid that it will be over.

Defeated officers are easily seen as a disgrace and humiliation by other officers in the main battle division of the Japanese army. The little devil officers who are a little perverted in honor and disgrace, many of them often choose to commit suicide to apologize after encountering failures.

Perhaps in the eyes of these little devil officers, it makes more sense to die like that. But for many officers, who wants to try the pain of seppuku if they have a chance to live? As long as the chief trusts, there will always be a chance to be ashamed!

But Miura Mahei didn't know that from the beginning of his fight with Hu Biao, in the long war in the future, he was lucky to survive many times, and became the first Japanese commander to hear Hu Biao's name, gritting his teeth with hatred while being afraid!
