Chapter 211: Don't Surrender

Looking at the frantically attacking Japanese infantry, they finally had no choice but to retreat back into the sea, and even sat directly on their transport ships. The officers and men of the two countries who were in charge of defense in the trenches undoubtedly cheered.

It's just that the commander of the escort battalion, who has been observing the little devil warship through the telescope, said in a timely manner: "Except for the observation post left, all the other personnel will move to the rear position through the underground passage and prepare to avoid artillery!" ”

The U.S. commander who was cheering heard the order from the commander of the escort battalion and said in surprise: "Lee, are we going to withdraw?" ”

'Yes! Not surprisingly, the Japanese will then use naval guns to carry out frenzied shelling of our positions. Previously, our machine gun positions and artillery positions were locked by the Japanese naval guns, and we must retreat as soon as possible! ’

As soon as they heard that the Japanese army was about to start using naval guns to launch artillery bombardment, the US commander, who had already felt the power of naval guns, also quickly said: "Quick, follow these Chinese brothers to withdraw, withdraw quickly!" Don't be happy, retreat into the underground passage! ”

As the commanders of both sides quickly gave the order to retreat, it was not long after entering the underground passage. The officers and men on both sides in the passage heard a huge explosion from above, as well as a sense of vibration from time to time in the passage.

The soldiers who stayed at the entrance of the passage couldn't help but rejoice when they saw the constantly collapsing defensive fortresses: "Fortunately, the withdrawal was fast!" ”

Compared to the defensive positions on the outside, these underground passages, dug a few meters underground, are undoubtedly safer and stronger. Even if the Japanese naval guns were powerful, it was difficult to destroy such anti-artillery fortifications dug underground.

The American commander standing in the passage also said with admiration: "Li, how did you know that the Japanese army would use naval artillery?" ”

'Our fortifications, apart from being unable to withstand the Japanese naval artillery bombardment, what other ways can the Japanese army destroy our fortifications?' The retreating Japanese troops, who had previously retreated, did not stop on the beach and boarded their troop carriers directly.

And the Japanese warships that were responsible for covering the infantry were all in an artillery formation. Combined with these circumstances, it should not be difficult to make an analysis of the Japanese army's naval artillery strike! What's more, the Japanese army is an army that is very good at carrying out retaliatory strikes! ’

Listening to the calm analysis of the battalion commander, the commander of the US army, who had just been stationed in Davao for a short time, suddenly said with great joy: "Li, I think I can be your ally, I am really glad." For the Japanese army, you know them better than we do! ”

That's nature! You should know that we have been engaged in many battles with the Japanese. Naturally, we know better than anyone else some of their modes of operation. After all, these valuable combat experiences were all bought by us with the blood of countless soldiers! ’

As the backbone officer of the Wolf Warrior Corps, each officer who served as the commander of the escort team had rich combat experience and had many encounters with the Japanese army. It can be said that they really have a good understanding of the combat mode of the Japanese army.

Before they were assigned to the various escort units and guard battalions, Zhao Tiehu gave them a simple lesson, explaining some of the essentials and precautions for island defense and offensive operations, and strengthening the command level of these officers.

When the Japanese ships finished dumping the shells they were carrying like crazy, they felt that the sound of artillery was no longer coming from overhead. The commander of the guard battalion also said in a timely manner: "Let's go, go and see the situation outside." Not surprisingly, the Japanese army is leaving! ”

As the officers and soldiers of the two countries entered the passage, they began to walk to the entrance of the passage to check the situation of the position. Seeing that less than one of the ten artillery positions that had been used before, many officers and men were glad that they had withdrawn quickly.

Some of the closed machine-gun fortresses are now mostly collapsed. If the soldiers who had been hiding inside had not withdrawn, the fate could have been imagined. After this shelling, the fortifications built in front of the beach were almost scrapped.

Although he felt a little pity, the guard battalion commander still smiled and said, "It seems that our next battle can only be carried out in the city!" This defensive position has basically been scrapped. However, next time, you can simply use it, and you can still do it! ”

Listening to the words of the battalion commander, the US commander also said happily: "Yes! Although I feel that it is a pity, if we had not had this fortification before, I am afraid that we would not have been able to resist the attack of the Japanese army a long time ago.

Although I don't want to admit it, after this battle, I feel that these Japanese attacks are crazy. Coupled with their air and sea supremacy, we want to prevent them from occupying Davao City, but I'm afraid it's unlikely! ”

'No problem! In fact, from the moment the Japanese invaded the Philippines, we were ready to abandon Davao City. Compared with the current offensive and defensive warfare, what we are really good at is jungle warfare. There is the main battlefield of the future.

What we are doing now is to kill and injure as much of the living forces of the Japanese army as possible. After all, you should know that although the Japanese bowl is very strong militarily. But one thing that cannot be changed is that they have limited troops.

Although it is not possible to count for the time being, how many Japanese soldiers we have killed before. But I believe that the Japanese infantry in charge of the landing operation this time will no longer be able to attack. This meant that if they wanted to attack, they could only continue to mobilize troops from the rear.

As a result, it was believed that the Japanese could only mobilize troops from the infantry attacking other places. And what we are doing now is not to relieve the pressure on the main force of Luzon? The more Japanese troops we destroy, the less pressure your main force will have! ’

'Well, you're right! I'm glad I have allies like you! ’

If you say that these American GIs were before, they still looked down on these Chinese soldiers a little. Then after this blocking battle, these American GIs can be said to be convinced. After all, the army is always the strongest and most respectable!

If there was no help from this Chinese army at this moment, they would not be able to resist such a fierce attack by the Japanese army with their US infantry battalion alone. It can be said that if they want to survive here, they must also rely on these Chinese armies!

Looking at the Japanese warships anchored in the sea ahead, they finally reluctantly began to retreat. Looking at the gradually darkening sky, the soldiers of the two countries hiding in the underground fortifications could finally get out of the position and take a good breath.

Looking at the sand disaster, there were still many Japanese corpses that had not been taken away, and the commander of the escort battalion also said in a timely manner: "Company commander, organize the people of your company to start cleaning the battlefield." Remember, if it's useful, get it all clean! ”

'Yes, Battalion Commander! ’

Although some of these Japanese soldiers who were killed were killed by American soldiers. But to collect the corpses and clean up the booty, the battalion commander of the escort battalion believed that these American soldiers were not interested. After all, the weapons of the Japanese army were not in common with them.

But for the wolf warriors, these captured weapons and equipment are just as useful as they can be stored. Even if they can't use it, the militia in the mountains can use it. Even the military uniforms on the little devils were stripped naked without exception.

Seeing that the Chinese soldiers did not even let go of the military uniforms on the corpses of the little devils, many American soldiers also found it difficult to accept. Some U.S. soldiers even felt that this practice was somewhat inhumane.

The commander of the escort battalion, who heard the whispers of these American soldiers, also explained in a timely manner: "You should know that we Chinese are very frugal and poor, because of the invasion of the Japanese army, many of our compatriots have to hide in the mountains.

These weapons and ammunition can arm my compatriots. These military uniforms taken from the Japanese army, as long as they are cleaned and dried, can also keep my compatriots warm and keep out the cold. After all, the military uniforms of the Japanese army are still very good.

As for your claim that this is inhumane, it means that you have not seen the murderous side of the Japanese army. In my country, the Japanese army will not collect the corpses of our fallen soldiers at all, and many times they dig pits and bury them directly.

If you are unfortunate enough to become their captive, then the end will be worse than death. Or they were taken to the mine and worked hard for them to open the mine. Either they will become a live target for their training of recruits, and be stabbed to death by those Japanese recruits.

Here, I would like to give you a word of advice. Fighting against the Japanese army, you must not think about surrendering, and don't think that the Japanese army will abide by any prisoner of war treaty. If you fall into the hands of the Japanese alive, you will taste what it is like to live rather than die! ”

Although the commander of the escort battalion can explain nothing, I believe that these American troops will not say much. But the commander of the escort battalion felt that since these American troops were friendly to them, they should also be honest with each other.

It is a well-established fact that the Chinese who come to Nanyang are thrifty and poor, and there is nothing to hide. Many Chinese clothes are mostly patches on top of patches. Some adults really can't wear it, so they change it to children's wear.

Compared with the clothes worn by ordinary Chinese, these clothes stripped from the corpses of Japanese soldiers are nothing taboo for ordinary Chinese people. After washing, it is still a sought-after item among the Chinese people.

Even the commander of the escort battalion took this opportunity to instill some experience about the cruelty of the Japanese army into these American soldiers, so that these American soldiers knew that they should never expect to surrender and save their lives. That would only make them worse off than dead.

After listening to the explanation of the battalion commander, the US commander also said apologetically: "Li, I'm very sorry!" My soldier, I didn't mean to say that. You know, our cultural concepts are somewhat different from yours! ”

'I know! I don't mind that, I just hope that our two militaries can get to know each other better and be more honest. Only if we sincerely fight hand in hand will we be able to survive this war, won't we? ’

'Yes, Lee, you're right, I agree with you! ’

After cleaning the battlefield, the stripped corpses were also thrown into the sea by the soldiers of the guard battalion. Whether the bodies sink into the sea or drift somewhere else, only God knows.

Leaving a team on guard, the battalion commander returned to Davao City overnight with the bodies of the fallen soldiers and the wounded. The bodies and wounded were also transferred to the mountain for burial and treatment as soon as possible.

As for the rest of the soldiers, they naturally stayed in the city for the night to rest. If the Japanese army came again tomorrow, they would also be in the city to welcome the arrival of the Japanese siege force. At that time, I believe it was another difficult and cruel battle!
