Chapter 204: Retreat

"Shhh......h Bang bang bang...... Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

The sound of explosions sounded suddenly, the earthquake trembled, and the bomb shelter was filled with mud and sand and rubble.

Li Siwei and the other officers hid quietly in the cave, looking unkind...... Turtle's, bluff again!

From dawn to now, in less than three hours, the little devils have bombarded the mountain three times, each time only firing twenty or thirty shells, and they do not attack after the bombardment, as if they are just playing because they are bored!

Sure enough, the sound of the artillery soon stopped abruptly again, and the little devil still did not launch an infantry charge.

"Holy shit, the little devil is really crazy, isn't he?" Liao Heiniu shook the dust off his hat and scolded angrily, "Is there a hammer for this kind of bang?" Lao Tzu didn't even lose a single hair! ”

"That's it," everyone shook the dust on their bodies and echoed, "It's hard to move the cannonballs on dog days!" ”

Three times!

Li Siwei frowned secretly and looked around at everyone, "Do you remember the battle in the Savage Village?" ”

"Savage Village?" Everyone was stunned and looked puzzled, "What happened to that battle?" ”

Li Siwei groaned, "In that battle, we kept charging at the little devil's position at the beginning, and then took advantage of the night to eliminate the little devil's position...... This time, I'm afraid the little devil wants to learn from us! ”

"I'm afraid of a hammer!" Liao Heiniu waved his hand nonchalantly, "Since the old men know it, it's useless for them to do anything!" ”

"Yes!" Everyone echoed, "As long as they dare to come up, Lao Tzu can beat them down!" ”

"That's right!" Li Siwei nodded, such a tactic is just a small trick, once it is seen through, it will be useless!

Huang Hua hurriedly stood up and went out of the cave, "Commander, I'll arrange a few more brothers and let them take turns to keep an eye on them!" ”

"Holy shit!" Li Siwei also stood up, shaking the dust on his body, crying and laughing, "I dragged Lao Tzu all morning, it turned out to be this bad idea!" ”

Scolding, he also strode out of the bomb shelter, "Keep your eyes open, don't let the little devil steal the chicken!" Lao Tzu went back to the village to see ......"

"Back to the village?" Shi Meng was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "Withdraw", "Withdraw, what's so good?" ”

Liao Heiniu glared at him, serious, "Turtle'er, Doctor Ning, they are leaving, and the head of the regiment must not be more...... Look? ”

"Yes," Shi Meng nodded hurriedly, "You should take a look...... Look! ”

Everyone laughed, and their faces were full of understanding.

Li Siwei hurriedly drilled out of the trench and walked towards the back mountain, suddenly feeling a little apprehensive in his heart...... They probably haven't gone far yet!

The order to retreat was only conveyed in the morning, and the wounded and miscellaneous personnel of the front-line troops were ordered to be evacuated before noon, and only the combat units were retained and stood by!

Li Siwei received the order and was about to go back to the village to say goodbye to everyone, but was dragged by the shelling that the little devil broke in......

At the south entrance of the village, a long line came out, the engineer company opened the way, followed by the regimental headquarters, followed by the stretcher team, the medical platoon, the cooking platoon, and the supply company...... Walk along the rugged mountain trails.

In the team of the medical platoon, Wu Ruolan hurried with the medicine box on her back, looking lonely.

"Ruolan," Ning Rou quickly followed, "Still angry?" ”

"No," Wu Ruolan hurriedly shook her head, "Sister Rou'er, you didn't let me stay, it's also for my own good...... How could I be mad at you! ”

As she spoke, her voice trembled, "But...... But, I ...... I can't figure it out, why are we being chased and beaten by little devils? Why? The regiment commander and the brothers are so desperate...... Why are we still being chased and beaten by little devils......"

Speaking of the back, her voice was already crying, and she looked at Ning Rou with tears, "I ...... It's getting farther and farther away from Pingyi City. ”

"Ruolan," Ning Rou sighed secretly, gently took her little hand, and comforted her heartache, "One day, we will fight back, and at that time, we will chase the little devils and fight, so that they can also taste the taste of being chased and beaten!" ”

"Well," Wu Ruolan lowered her head and greeted softly, but tears had already slipped down the corners of her eyes, "That day...... It must be far, far away, right? ”

"It's not far away," Ning Rou clenched her hand, "Ruolan, that day must not be too far away!" ”

Wu Ruolan raised her head and looked at her with teary eyes, "Did the regiment commander say it?" ”

"Yes!" Ning Rou smiled and nodded, "That's what he said!" He also said that when the victory comes, take us to a very good place, and when we get there, there will be no more wars! ”

Wu Ruolan gently wiped away her tears, "There...... Where is it? Has he been there? ”

Ning Rou was stunned for a moment and shook her head, "I want to ...... He probably saw it in the book! ”

"Oh," Wu Ruolan nodded clearly, suddenly startled, "Sister Rou'er, let's just leave...... I didn't even say goodbye to him! ”

Ning Rou was stunned, and her eyes turned red, "Yes...... I didn't even have a chance to say goodbye! ”

The sun was rising, and the retreating ranks were moving away.

In the small village, Li Siwei came in a hurry, but only saw Lu Tiesheng and a few signal soldiers who stayed behind.

"Commander," Seeing Li Siwei enter the village, Lu Tiesheng hurriedly greeted him and got straight to the point, "Doctor Ning, they just left...... Now I can catch up with ......."

Lu Tiesheng is now the acting platoon commander of the communications platoon, and he is naturally not a dull person who can be appreciated by Li Siwei.

"Already gone?" Li Siwei sighed secretly and shook his head, "Forget it!" ”

What about catching up?

Lao Tzu is going with them?!

Or, let them go with Lao Tzu?!

Forget it, only by retreating peacefully to western Henan can we meet again!

The newly formed 16th Brigade was still in the battle sequence of the Third Corps, and in accordance with the instructions conveyed by the Central Military Commission on 22 October, the Third Corps retreated to western Henan through Yingshan, renamed the "Western Henan Corps," and transferred it to the First Theater.

In other words, if Li Siwei and his brothers can evacuate safely, a new battle will start in western Henan!

But how easy is it to retreat safely?

On the front line of Xinxian, Shawo, and Xiaojieling, the 42nd Army, the 71st Army, the 30th Army, and the newly formed 16th Brigade held on for more than a month, not giving up an inch of land, and by the 25th, when the whole line retreated, the defenders had suffered more than 20,000 casualties, among them, the most tragic 71st Army, the whole army only 800 people remained!

At the same time, the Japanese invaders were blocked in the north of Xiaojieling, and they could not advance an inch after a month of hard fighting, but suffered more than 20,000 casualties...... I already hated the defenders, so how could I let them evacuate safely?

On the morning of October 25, Li Siwei finally received the order to retreat!

Holding the order, Li Siwei looked solemn...... The worst fears have happened!

"Alas," Li Siwei gently put together the order and handed it to Staff Officer Gu, "Why do you want to go to Macheng?" If you let Lao Tzu lead the team into the mountain...... How many little devils come, Lao Tzu is not afraid! ”

Staff Officer Gu took the order and looked at it, and he also frowned, "After the break...... It's not an easy task! ”

In such a general battle, the battle line is long, the number of troops participating in the battle is large, the number of troops is complicated, and the forces of the enemy and ourselves are staggered...... If the troops are not careful, they will be encircled, and even worse, they will threaten the entire battle situation!

In Songhu and Nanjing, the two major retreats turned into a rout in the end!

"Forget it," Li Siwei gritted his teeth, "Fuck it!" ”

How can he be honest in his heart?

However, the military order is like a mountain, and the only way to do it is to go all out.

The retreat plan has already been planned, and it can be implemented with minor changes at this time.

The first is the retreat line.

Although the order gives the general direction, the specific route needs to be selected by yourself, and the form of the battlefield changes rapidly, and the scheduled route may change at any time...... At last

The second is the adjustment of troops.

After a series of hard battles, the various units suffered heavy casualties, and at this time, the whole brigade had only 893 combatants, divided into three teams: the surviving brothers of the 65th and 67th regiments joined forces, with a total of 293 people, led by Staff Officer Gu; The 1st Battalion and 3rd Battalion of the 66th Regiment were combined, with a total of 315 men, led by Li Siwei; The second battalion and the special service company combined with one army, a total of 285 people, led by Liao Heiniu...... The three teams, at the same time and at the same time, can alternately cover and attack together.

Finally, there are tactics.

Since it is a task to break off, it is impossible to blindly retreat...... Li Siwei proposed, looking for fighters in the movement to thwart the enemy's sharpness!

The plan was certain, and Staff Officer Gu and Li Siwei successively led their troops to withdraw from their positions.

Zhiliao Heiniu led his troops to guard the position of the nameless mountain, so he set up a maze of formations, and did not withdraw from the position until after noon, crossed the stone bridge to the east bank of the Guan River, and hurried south along the west slope of Huangbai Mountain.

Toyohashi Osa found that the defenders had withdrawn, and he personally led 500 elites and hurriedly chased after them...... Just let go of these people, how can I have face for Toyohashi Shinwu?

Since ancient times, the morale of the retreaters has been low, and the fighting spirit of the pursuers is high.

However, during the retreat of the 66th Regiment, it was a different scene!

Toyohashi Osa led his troops in pursuit, successfully occupied the position of Nameless Mountain, and then went straight to the stone bridge, where he saw a group of Shina soldiers fleeing in confusion at the foot of the mountain on the opposite bank.

"Pursuit ......"

"Pursuit ......"

The morale of the little devils was suddenly greatly boosted, and they rushed to the stone bridge with a roar, killing the other side.

The stone bridge is only more than 40 meters long and more than two meters wide, and there are square stone piers under the bridge, which are only two or three meters high from the river.

A group of little devils just rushed across the stone bridge, but saw that the people had already rushed into the dense forest on the hillside, and hurriedly picked up their guns to chase and kill them, "bang ......bang bang bang" The gunfire was like rain, and the branches and leaves flew, but they didn't even catch up with half a shadow!

What to do?

A group of little devils stopped at the edge of the dense forest and hesitated!

It would definitely not be daring to recklessly chase in, during this time under the small boundary ridge, they are already familiar with what happened to the Kinoshita Brigade and the Tada Brigade!

It's even worse to go back in disgrace...... If you go back like this, how can you save face for Toyohashi United!

"Chase!" Toyohashi Daisaichi gritted his teeth and brandished his saber, "Hoshino-kun, Takeuchi-kun, outflank from both wings, and the others attack forward!" ”

Toyohashi Daisabei divided into three ways and cautiously touched into the dense forest.

A group of little devils walked on thin ice until they touched the edge of the dense forest, and they did not encounter half of the enemy.

"Yaga!" Toyohashi Dazuo looked at the irrigation river at the foot of the mountain, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he was angry, "What is the person going to do?" ”

Even if he was ambushed in the jungle, he would feel better, at least ...... This is normal! However, there is not even half a figure in the dense forest, what is the matter?

"Osa," Captain Hoshino hurried over, looking frustrated, "lost ......"

"They're on the opposite hill!" Before Captain Hoshino could finish speaking, a little devil pointed to the opposite mountain and shouted, his face full of excitement, "They want to climb over that mountain......"

"Bang ......"

Before he finished speaking, a group of little devils had already picked up their spears and rushed out.

Huang Hua and dozens of brothers were hurriedly climbing up the mountain, "puff puff ......", bullets shot from the opposite hillside, splashing grass clippings and dust behind them.

"Pursuit, pursuit......"

Toyohashi Daisa, wielding his saber, rushed down the mountain col first...... Stand on the hillside and shoot, too far from the enemy to kill them at all!

A group of little devils rushed down the hill with a roar, rushed over the col, and rushed up the hill with all their might, but there was no trace of the enemy...... But they are convinced that the enemy is ahead!

Climbing to the top of the mountain, the group of little devils were already out of breath and had lost sight of the enemy again.

Toyohashi Osa hurriedly raised the binoculars and searched around, the shrubs on the hillside, there was no trace of the enemy, the valley under the mountain was two or three miles wide, the barren grass was overgrown, there was still no trace of the enemy, and the opposite side was a stretching mountain...... Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and there was a gap in the middle of the mountain, winding towards the mountain, and on that gap two or three hundred men were running towards the mountain, not very fast...... Toyohashi Daisa's spirits perked up, "Chase, chase...... They are going to flee to the opposite hill......"

"They can't run......"

Takeuchi Daisa put down the binoculars, waved his saber, and rushed down the mountain first!

The little devils were in high spirits, and they all rose up and followed...... Don't let the "boiled duck" fly!

It's just that the little devil who was yelling didn't find out...... The "boiled duck" is clearly not half flustered!

It was the Gu staff department who was regarded as a "boiled duck" by the little devils, and they were running towards the mountain along a gap in the hillside, not fast, and the formation was not scattered in the slightest.

In the dense forest on the top of the mountain, Li Siwei held a telescope, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "Lao Gu really doesn't know how to act...... If Lao Tzu is a chaser, he will definitely not catch up! ”

Lu Tiesheng smiled, "However, the little devil won't care so much...... They're all dazed! ”

Gan Fei also nodded excitedly, "That's it, those turtles are crazy, so they don't dare to chase them!" ”

"Regiment Leader," Miao Zhenhua had already taken out his flare gun and was ready to go, "Is it okay?" ”

Li Siwei raised the telescope again, carefully glanced at the col for a while, and shook his head gently, "Wait...... Now that they've all been sent to the door, I have to say hello to them! ”

Since it's broken, you have to cut off the tail behind you!
