238. Retreat

The sound of the explosion was accompanied by a huge fire. It is especially noticeable in the dark.

"Yaga! What's going on! "At this time, Sakata Xiangyuan didn't have to be cautious anymore, there was such a huge explosion, and the enemy didn't know about it, and it was impossible.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander." Soldiers from the front soon came to report, "We stepped on an enemy mine." ”

"Landmines?" Sakata Xiangyuan frowned and looked at Han Song, "Shinmura-kun, didn't you say that this is a small road?" Nobody knows? ”

Han Song pretended not to know, looking innocent, "Your Excellency Brigade Commander, when I inquired, those Chinese people told me so!" ”

"Yalu!" Sakata Xiangyuan clenched his fists, "We may have been exposed a long time ago!" They set a trap for us to drill! What a cunning! ”

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, what now?"

"Now that it's been discovered, there's no need to hide it anymore! The strength of our brigade of nearly 10,000 people has already arrived near the Eighth Route Base Area, how can we return empty-handed......

Before Sakata Xiangyuan's words were finished, multiple explosions sounded.

Even the ground felt an earthquake.

Sakata Xiangyuan even almost fell, but it was Han Song who helped him.

This was followed by louder explosions, and louder fires......

The Japanese soldiers behind him, some of them, were blown into the sky.

Yes, they have fallen to the ground.

"Yalu! That's a trap! "Sakata Xiangyuan has already reacted at this time, the road ahead is not easy to walk, and the enemy has set up many obstacles.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, what should I do now?" Han Song hurriedly spoke.

"Retreat!" Sakata Xiangyuan reluctantly said two words.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Explosions rang out one after another.

The small mushroom clouds seem to be terrifying beasts devouring life in the dark night.

The smell of gunsmoke choked everyone and made it impossible to breathe normally.

Sakata Xiangyuan is also decisive, since the enemy has already laid out the opening for him, then he must not be able to get into it again! He has just become the brigade commander, how can he lose the troops here.

The mission was unsuccessful.

And the mission was not successful and the losses were huge.

It's not the same thing.

It took more than ten minutes for the explosion to stop.

Han Song's back was already bleeding.

"Niimura-kun, are you okay?" Sakata Xiangyuan was overwhelmed by Han Song, and not far from them, an explosion rose.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, let's go!" Han Song endured the pain and spoke.

"Yalu! Order down, everyone retreat! Retreat! ”

……

"Hehe, boss, this explosion tonight has cost all the existing gunpowder in our base area!"

"Haha, it doesn't matter if you spend it, you can fight devils!"

"This time, thanks to that man!"

"Otherwise, we don't even know that the devil has touched our base!"

"I have already told him that after I go back, I will let the comrades from Taiyuan contact him."

"Okay, remember, this matter must be kept secret! Otherwise, this comrade is too dangerous! ”

"Yes!"

……

Han Song was supported by several Japanese soldiers.

Sakata Xiangyuan asked people to count the casualties. It was found that more than 500 soldiers did not return.

Among the people who returned, more than a thousand were also injured, including Han Song.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, this time the news must have leaked!" A Japanese soldier opened his mouth and looked at Sakata Xiangyuan, "Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Eighth Route Army to set up an ambush here!" ”

"Hey! I think so too! Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, I'm afraid that the news that we are coming has already leaked out! ”

Sakata Xiangyuan's face was ugly, he led the troops out this time, originally wanted to be a surprise soldier! But as soon as he arrived at the door of someone's house, he was actually put on a position, if it wasn't for Han Song's quick hand to protect him, at this time, he should also be treated.

"Send a report to the headquarters, just say that our operation has been exposed, more than 2,000 casualties, and ask for instructions."

"Hey!"

Whether this battle will be fought or not is no longer something that Sakata Xiangyuan can decide.

……

It was night, when Umezu Mijiro was shouted, he was a little annoyed, not to mention, the news was not good news, "Aso-kun, what do you think?" ”

Nozomi Aso frowned, "I think that the news of this matter may have been leaked a long time ago, otherwise, it would be impossible for the Eighth Route Army to lay out so many traps." It's just that the top priority is how to get Sakata-kun back safely. ”

Umezu Mijiro frowned, his fingers tapping on the table, "Why are you coming back?" ”

"Since the Eighth Route Army has already laid a trap, it naturally wants us to step into it." Nozomi Aso spoke, "In this way, the Sakata Brigade will ...... I'm afraid of heavy losses. ”

"The Eighth Route has put so many troops on the front line, how many troops do you think they still have in the base area?"

Nozomi Aso shook his head, "Our exploration of the Eighth Route Army has only recently begun to pay attention to it, after all, in Shaanxi, it was all part of the Jin Sui Army. After all, the strength of the Eighth Route is too small to be ignored. ”

"But in the past few years, the Eighth Road has developed rapidly."

"Hey! In addition, there is also a base in Liuba County in Hanzhong, which provides some equipment for the Eighth Road. ”

Listening to Nozomi Aso talk about the base in Liuba County, Umezu Mijiro also nodded, indeed, that is a variable, and in China, there is not much of anything, the most is people.

"Let Sakata-kun transfer in as soon as possible."

"Hey!"

……

Han Song said that he was very tired, and his back was very painful.

The wound was very fine.

Some of the blood has also clotted.

The body is also a little cold.

Suddenly felt that in order to save Sakata Xiangyuan, if he really hung up, it didn't seem to be worth it.

There were too many wounded, and after the health soldiers treated his wounds, the sky was already about to dawn.

"Command! Everyone, get ready to move in! ”

"Hey!"

"Nishimura-kun, you ......" Sakata Xiangyuan sighed, the news was Han Song who went to investigate, but Han Song was also injured so seriously for himself, "You hold on for a few days, and we are ready to go back." ”

"Hey! Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, please rest assured! ”

"Hmm."

……

"Elder Wang, how is it?" Chen Xiu pointed to a row of cement houses, "This row will be used as a dormitory for workers at that time." And in the base of Liuba County, there will be merchants who come in to do some small business. ”

"I heard that your base in Liuba County is paid very well?"

"Not much. It is to let the people have more money in their hands. Chen Xiu frowned slightly.

"But once the machinery factory moves north, together with your base in Liuba County, you must know that the Central Machinery Factory will not pay such a high salary."

"At present, I have not yet negotiated with the central government about the shares." Chen Xiu smiled, "If all the shares are mine, or rather, most of them are mine, I don't mind paying the salary." ”

"Good!" Wang Shoutai nodded with satisfaction, he was afraid that people would come over when the time came, and the wages of the Central Machinery Factory would not be as good as the wages of ordinary workers at the base in Liuba County, which would be funny.
