Chapter Ninety-Eight: Slipping Away

"How is this possible, how can the matter of our wing alarm the commander of Gangcun?"

Oya was stunned, he really couldn't understand how Okamura Ninji, as the commander of an army of more than 200,000 people, could pay attention to the affairs of a small wing. Besides, the 101st Wing is just carrying out an ordinary pursuit mission, as for alarming a commander.

"I don't know." The chief of staff also said helplessly, "Your Excellency the division commander has no choice, this is the death order that must be captured in Happy Valley." If we can't win Happy Valley, none of us, including me, will be able to run! ”

The last one who had just stood up sat on the ground again, this afternoon's battle was too tragic, the three captains were now only one of him, and the remaining two were beaten into two by machine guns and didn't even get the corpses back, one was seriously injured by a mortar and is still being rescued, not to mention the casualties of the soldiers, he, the captain, is about to become a bare-bones commander, how can this battle continue?

After some time, they noticed that the gunfire not far away was slowly weakening. Suddenly, a soldier hurriedly ran over and shouted: "Report to Your Excellency Dazuo, the Chinese army on Happy Valley is retreating!" ”

"Nani?"

"The Chinese army has retreated?"

"It can't be!"

Three exclamations sounded almost at the same time, and the three of them, who were originally blind, stood up at the same time, and Ojia even grabbed the soldier's collar and roared.

"Baga, if you dare to lie, you will be shot!"

"Ho-ho......" he grabbed so tightly that the soldier was speechless.

Seeing this, the chief of staff hurriedly pulled his hand away: "Tail Family-kun, let go quickly, he will be strangled to death by you!" ”

When the tail family let go of his hand, the soldier took a few big breaths of air, looked at the fierce and vicious tail family and said tremblingly: "Your Excellency, what I said is true, the Chinese army on Happy Valley has really begun to retreat!" ”

"Let's go...... Check it out! Gana Osa, who had not spoken, said suddenly, and then strode forward, and Ogie and the chief of staff glanced at each other and hurriedly followed, but before they could reach the bottom of the hillside of Happy Valley, they heard a burst of cheers from the hillside.

"Your Excellency, Captain, listen...... It was the sound of the soldiers cheering. ”

"Let's go...... Let's go up and have a look! ”

More than twenty minutes later, when the three of them climbed to the top of the mountain, it was only then that they finally believed that they had occupied the place where they had suffered so much.

Gana Jio suppressed the excitement in his heart, turned his head to the chief of staff and said, "Hirano-kun...... Immediately send a telegram to His Excellency the division commander, our wing has occupied Happy Valley after a bloody battle! ”

"Hai ......" The chief of staff replied loudly, and glanced at the two of them, and they did not ask such an idiotic question as whether to pursue the retreating national army. More than ten minutes later, a melodious and impassioned message was transmitted along the airwaves.

It stands to reason that he should be happy to finally win the battle, but looking at the devastated position and the cries of the soldiers that sounded from time to time on the hillside, Gana Zhixiong Dasa was not happy in any way, and he also doubted his original belief for the first time, will they encounter such a tragic battle and such an opponent in the future, and can this ancient country be conquered by them......

And more than twenty miles away from Happy Valley, an army was marching in the dark night, and from time to time a low reprimand sounded in the ranks.

"The latter follows...... Be careful not to be left behind! ”

"Quick...... Hurry up and keep up! ”

Su Jin is also in this team, as the commander of the regiment, he also relies on two legs like ordinary soldiers, and his only privilege is not to march with a rifle weighing more than nine pounds and heavy ammunition like a soldier, and next to him is Li Wei, the commander of the second battalion.

"Brother Su...... I"

"Call the regimental commander!"

As soon as Li Wei wanted to speak, he was interrupted by Su Jin again.

"Okay!" Li Wei said helplessly: "Tuanzuo, the Japanese on the other side have obviously been disabled by us, why don't we rush down and annihilate them in one go, but withdraw?" ”

"Do you think the Japanese are stupid, standing there and letting you kill them?" Su Jin squinted at him and was not angry, "Now that it's dark, are you so sure that you will wipe out the remaining Japanese?" What if we can't get rid of them by dawn? Do you dare to guarantee that there will be no Japanese reinforcements coming, and when the time comes, do you think we will be able to withstand the next round of Japanese attacks? You know, the brothers have been fighting the Japanese for two days. ”

"But......" Li Wei sighed for a long time before holding back a sentence: "But I don't accept it, why did the Japanese attack us for two days, obviously we won, but why did we retreat, why can't we take the opportunity to kill all these Japanese!" ”

Su Jin was silent for a long time, and then said: "Because we can't beat the Japanese now, because we don't have reinforcements, because if we wait until dawn tomorrow, the Japanese planes and reinforcements will come over, and then it will be difficult for us to leave!" ”

After Su Jin finished speaking, Li Wei stopped talking because of the three, and what Su Jin said was the truth. Although now the militia, well...... Now it should be called the Shigu County Independent Security Regiment, although their security regiment won the battle, but this does not mean that they can look down on the Japanese, you must know that the 101st Wing that fought with them is just a wing under the special division of the Japanese. And the Japanese did not regard them as real opponents, once the Japanese paid attention to it, I am afraid that it would not be a second-rate unit like the 101st Wing, at that time, the Japanese aircraft, heavy artillery and ground troops swarmed up, and at that time, the security regiment could not stop the Japanese attack even if it had three heads and six arms, thinking of this, Li Wei couldn't help but hang his head and didn't speak.

Seeing Li Wei hanging his head silently, Su Jin patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Okay, don't be sad, although we retreated today, it doesn't mean that we lost." Do you think, a few months ago, how many people did we have in Erlongshan, and now how many people do we have, it won't be long before we don't have to worry about those little Japan, don't you say? ”

"Looks like that!" Li Wei scratched the back of his head and laughed, the men who grew up in the bandits' den since he was a child have a relatively straight temperament, and this kind of thing doesn't stay in the minds of people like him for long, in his opinion, as long as he can follow Su Jin to win the battle, it would be good, and the rest would not be his turn to worry.

The long procession stretched endlessly, like a long and rugged dragon in the dark night, and they kept sneaking south, and their steps were so determined......
