Chapter 756: Successful Retreat
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Tank guns continued to fall on the defenders' positions, kicking up large areas of dirt and blasting countless fortifications into a pile of rubble.
Of course, many defenders were shot and killed under such artillery fire.
The screams were endless.
The soldiers who retreated in a hurry ran to the back, and on the secondary position, the soldiers in charge of covering were constantly firing at the Japanese army, and the grenadiers and mortars continued to fall in the Japanese formation, especially the caliber of the muzzle was not large, unless the prepared tank was hit, otherwise it fell nearby, and the damage caused was very small, and it could not penetrate the Japanese tank armor at all.
But even then, there are some little devils' tanks that are destroyed!
However, the destroyed tanks were of little use compared to the Japanese tank brigades, which was tantamount to a drop in the bucket.
"! Resist me! The division seat said that regardless of the cost, I will block the pace of the Japanese chariot and buy time for the retreat of friendly troops, have you heard it clearly! ”
On the second-line defensive position, a regiment commander held a machine gun in his hand and shouted loudly while strafing.
Hearing this, although the soldiers around him did not speak, they all fired at the Japanese army one by one, and the fierce fire poured down towards the Japanese army like a storm.
In the face of such a firepower attack, even if the Japanese army had tanks to take the lead, the tanks could not support it thoroughly, and the Japanese soldiers who followed the tanks suffered many casualties.
"Damn! These hateful people are really annoying! Why don't they stay there honestly and wait for the warriors of our empire to slaughter them? Why struggle? Don't they know...... All their resistance is just a death throes! ”
In the Japanese tank, a little devil commander couldn't help but say angrily when he saw this scene.
"Oda-kun, I've heard that there is an old saying in the Shina army called 'Ants still steal life, let alone people?'" The gunner next to him said with a smile.
Hearing this, the commander sneered, and then said: "In my opinion, these people must be trying to survive!" But...... But they have forgotten the most important fundamental, that is, in front of the chariot of our big RB empire, even if they want to struggle to survive, it depends on whether we are willing to give them a way to live, if I give him a way to live, he can live, if I want them to die, no one can live! ”
After saying this, the commander showed a hideous smile on his face, and couldn't help but say: "I want to drive directly over and crush all these Zhina troops to death, I want to let their bodies be crushed into powder little by little under the tracks of the empire's chariots, and I want them to feel the pain of their bodies being crushed into powder a little bit before they die, I want them to know...... Those who dare to provoke our empire will definitely not end well! ”
With that, he pushed directly, and the chariot picked up speed again and pursued forward.
And at this moment, in the chariot, hearing the words of the commander, the other little devils in the crew couldn't help but look at each other.
Although they knew that the commander's words were only said to the people of China, they were in the same group at the moment, and they still shuddered when they heard the captain say this with a hideous and gloomy face.
For a while, I felt the cold wind biting and my scalp was numb.
Immediately, he didn't dare to think about it, and hurriedly dispelled these thoughts from his mind, and then concentrated on the current matter.
……
The entire tank brigade was all in pursuit of the retreating fighters in a hurry, and from time to time a tank gun landed in the middle of the fighters, killing and wounding several people.
Inflicted a lot of damage on the defenders.
On the secondary position, the defenders who were responsible for the blocking task were desperately firing artillery, using all means to block the advance of these tanks, and buying some time for the retreating soldiers on the forward position!
In such a situation, the fighters of various batches covered each other, retreated from each other, and finally successfully withdrew from the position, although it paid a lot of price, but the entire 60th Army successfully withdrew, preserving the living force, after all, it was worth it!
Otherwise, if you really fight hard with the Japanese tanks on the battlefield, once the battle continues, even if the Japanese tanks are exhausted, I am afraid that the 60th Army will be greatly injured if it does not suffer heavy losses.
At the beginning of the war, the loss of an army is definitely not a good thing!
Therefore, this retreat seemed to be a failure, but in the eyes of Lu Han, commander of the First Army, and Xue Yue, acting commander of the Ninth Theater, it was a success!
……
After the 60th Army withdrew from the Fengxin battlefield, it immediately retreated its troops towards the Guxian area, and the Japanese 106th Division had a chariot brigade, and felt that there was no one on the defender's side to deal with it, so it pursued it directly all the way, and was not afraid of going deep alone.
In order to retreat and get rid of the pursuit of the Japanese army behind, the 60th Army, under the leadership of An Enpu, set up ambushes along the way, and even in order to completely get rid of the Japanese army, An Enpu also asked for fighter reinforcements, for his request, General Xue Yue did not hesitate, and directly sent a fighter formation to support.
Although the little devil's tank is powerful, it is not very useful in the face of fighters, and at most it is just a live target.
Therefore, when the five fighters who came to support arrived at the front, the Japanese tanks had to stop the pursuit in order to prevent them from being bombed.
Seeing that they had completed their scheduled combat mission, the five fighters were originally going to bomb it, but at this time, the infantry of the 106th Division of the little devil had already set up anti-aircraft machine guns, so that our fighters could not find the slightest chance, so they had to randomly drop some aerial bombs and blow up a few tanks, and then they returned.
Although it was a little regrettable that the strategic intention of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army to pursue the 60th Army failed, the division commander Junrokuro Matsuura was already very satisfied.
It was undoubtedly a great thing that they had managed to repel the defenders of an army with only one division, and that there were not many losses at all!
You must know that more than 400,000 troops on both sides of this battle are involved, and it is only the early stage of the battle, and the overall battle situation has not yet reached a white-hot level, but after the battle, the intensity of the battle will rise significantly.
After all, once it is in the late stage, there will always be a large-scale battle after the poor dagger, so as to determine the outcome of the battle.
At present, they can preserve their strength in the early stage of the campaign and minimize the loss of soldiers, which means that they can have greater opportunities or benefits in the final decisive battle, and even if things are not good later, their 106th Division can still preserve their vital strength.
