Chapter 164: Dividing Troops and Besieging Without Attacking!

It is easy to enter the village and difficult to get out of the village, this is the decision made by Zhao Tiehu when he learned that the Japanese army was coming. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info small fights are slowly consumed, and after the little devil is weakened, he will give the last fatal blow.

The little devils who have entered the village now, although they have already picked up the heads of those who can't distinguish their faces at all. But for the Eighth Route Army hidden around the village, there was no Japanese army that would think of destroying it.

Even the commander of Shaozuo, who had thought of making great contributions earlier, looked at the troops that had already suffered more than half of the casualties, and knew that this series of casualties and blows had already severely damaged the morale of the troops, and if he continued to fight, he would only increase casualties.

If you can't get out of Zhangbei Village before dark, then what will happen tonight, the Japanese army Shaozuo is also uncertain. In order to ensure the safety of the remaining troops, it is a wise choice to quickly withdraw from Zhangbei Village.

Just when the Japanese army began to assemble one after another to count the number of people, the artillery detachment ordered by Zhao Tiehu was also prepared for the shelling. Seeing the little devils suddenly assemble in the clearing, many artillerymen couldn't help but laugh.

Compared with the number of artillery pieces when they attacked Dongguan last time, Zhao Tiehu, who returned from Taigu this time, also asked the combat detachment to carry the mortars back. As for the infantry artillery and mountain artillery, they were handed over to the Taigu Independent Battalion.

Together with the mortars captured earlier, the combat detachment now has as many as 12 mortars alone. The angle of the artillery fire was adjusted in a row, and with the commander's order, the twelve mortars soon let out a roar.

The Japanese soldier Shaozuo, who was counting supplies and ordering the troops to retreat, suddenly heard a rumbling sound behind him, and as soon as he turned around, he saw shells falling from the sky. Seeing this scene, the Japanese army Shaozo was undoubtedly shocked again.

The guards who stayed beside him shouted: "Shaozuo, be careful! ”

The guards who hurriedly reminded him pressed the protective Shaozuo directly to the ground in the shout. Judging by the density of the shells and the speed of their fall, the guards knew they couldn't outgrow the speed at which the shells fell.

In order to ensure Shaozuo's safety, there is only one thing the guards can do, and that is to use their bodies to suppress Shaozo. Only in this way may Shao Zuo escape this round of shelling and pick up a life.

After all, once this Shaozo is killed on the spot, then the remaining troops will face a situation of being leaderless. In this case, the guards could not care about their own lives, so they could only do their duty as faithfully as possible.

As the twelve shells fell, the assembled Japanese troops, who were also stunned by this scene, also began to dodge the artillery fire in a panic. But in the face of the strike range of twelve shells, many little devils can't escape the explosion range of shells at all.

The Japanese soldier Shaozuo, who was pressed under him by the guards, could only watch the remaining subordinates struggle and scream in the artillery fire. With great regret in his heart, he underestimated this Eighth Route Army, but he didn't expect these Eighth Route Army to have such a fierce artillery strike force.

Compared with the location of the Japanese army, it has become a hell of artillery and earth, and the combat detachment that was previously ambushed around the cemetery heard the sound of artillery and began to surround on all sides, ready to give the little devil who dared to enter the village the last fatal blow.

With the outflanking Eighth Route Army, they began to shoot those little devils who were lucky enough to escape the shelling. Many grizzled little devil officers could only say: "Break through, get out of here!" Draw closer to me and retreat to the village! ”

Understand that in such an open field, the troops that have lost their morale are not at all the opponents of the morale of the Eighth Route Army. Many little devil officers finally chose to avoid the edge of the Eighth Route Army and fled into the village first to save their lives.

As for the corpses and heads that were collected earlier, no one cared about them at the moment. In the current situation, not to mention that they will not be able to complete the task of snatching people's heads, even if they themselves are very likely to die here.

The Japanese soldier Shaozuo, who also picked up a life, saw that the guards who were pressing on his body had died, and he was extremely sad and sad in his heart. But he could only follow the surviving soldiers and hurriedly ran to a small village not far away.

Seeing the little devil running into the village to hide, Zhao Tiehu, who also led the team to attack, still ordered: "Divide the troops into three ways to outflank, leave the passage out of the village, and let the little devil continue to retreat." I see they can get there! ”

Zhao Tiehu, who led a combat detachment to attack directly from the alley behind the village, let the attacking soldiers work in groups of three, alternately covering the advance, and constantly shooting those little devils hiding in the village.

The little devils who had suffered in the village earlier thought that after entering the village, they would be able to make them safer. The several blocking lines that could be hastily laid down were quickly captured by the pursuing Eighth Route Army not long after.

'Yaga, how can this be? Why is the combat level of these dirt roads so high? ’

Looking at the Eighth Route Army, which was alternately covering and advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, many little devils felt a little incredible. The combat level of this Eighth Route Army is completely beyond what they knew about the Eighth Route Army in the past.

What shocked the little devil the most was that the bombing level of these Eighth Route Army was very high. Some little devils who hid behind the stone wall and prepared to sneak attack were often attacked by grenades from the Eighth Route Army before they could make a move.

The machine guns erected on some commanding heights were attacked by the grenadiers of the Eighth Route Army. The blocking points they chose did not play the slightest role in blocking and covering in front of these Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army's attack could be described as overwhelming.

Fleeing to the middle of the village, the Japanese soldier Shaozuo, who could barely catch his breath, looked at the few remaining officers around him, and said with a gloomy expression: "How is the situation?" ”

'Shao Zuo, I'm afraid that we won't last long, and the offensive of the Tubalu is very fierce. And they know the situation of this village better than we do, and we are afraid that we will continue to retreat. If you stay any longer, I'm afraid there is a danger of being surrounded! ’

'How so?' With these fortifications left behind by the dirt road, how could we not repel their attack? ’

'Shao Zuo, the earth eight roads are surrounded on three sides, and I am afraid that it will not be long before I can attack here. Our troops are already fighting valiantly, but the Tubalu people are outnumbered and the weapons are better than ours, and it will be really too late if we don't withdraw. ’

In the face of the unwillingness of the Japanese army, how could these surviving little devil officers be willing? But the situation is not as good as others, and they must acknowledge this reality. If we don't withdraw, it is estimated that there will be a danger of annihilation!

'Give the order to retreat!' However, if we continue to let these dirt eight roads pursue, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for us to evacuate safely! ’

The Japanese soldier Shaozo who said this looked at several officers around him with a flickering look in his eyes. A Japanese lieutenant who knew what this meant, also said with difficulty: "Shaozuo, you withdraw first, I will drag them here!" ”

The troops left behind the palace have little chance of surviving. In the face of such a ferocious offensive of the Eighth Route Army, this Japanese lieutenant and the little devil who left behind to block the attack may be buried here. But sometimes, someone has to make some sacrifices!

'Yo, Lieutenant Katori, I'll report your loyalty to the Wing Commander. ’

'Thank you, Your Excellency! I'll command the battle, Shaozuo, you better retreat quickly! ’

Taking over the task of blocking the attack after His Royal Highness is undoubtedly to choose death. At such a time, no matter how reluctant the lieutenant is, he must do it. The reason is simple, among these officers, his rank is the most suitable candidate.

Accompanying the Japanese lieutenant, with some lightly wounded men who had been left behind the palace, he began to build blocking fortifications around the lanes. The troops that had been withdrawn from the front were also collected by the Japanese lieutenants, and a blocking line was established in the village.

As for the side of the Japanese army Shaozuo, with only a few dozen unharmed Japanese soldiers, they began to retreat from the entrance of the village. Seeing that there was no Eighth Route Army at the entrance of the village, many Japanese troops seemed very lucky, and the pace of retreat was undoubtedly accelerated again.

It's just that these little devils didn't know at all, just when the Japanese army Shaozuo withdrew from Zhangbei Village and began to escape back to the town along the mountain road. Liu Cheng took a group of soldiers and was already following behind them.

As for the rest of the combat team, the entrance to the village was completely blocked. And Zhao Tiehu and others, who were originally attacking, looked at the stubborn little devils, and suddenly ordered not to attack, but took the initiative to withdraw.

The Japanese lieutenant, who was directing the battle and ordered to block the attack at all costs, looked at the retreating Eighth Route Army calmly, and said in surprise and puzzlement: "Baga, why did the Eighth Route retreat?" ”

'Lieutenant, I don't know! Now that they have withdrawn, can we also withdraw it! ’

'Wait, I don't think these dirt roads will make it so easy for us to retreat." Let's take a look at the situation first, if the Dirt Eighth Road really retreats, it may be safer for us to retreat at night. ’

I thought that if I stayed to block the attack, I would definitely die, but the attacking Eighth Route Army suddenly withdrew. This strange way of playing really surprised and puzzled the little devils trapped in the village. But taking advantage of this opportunity, they can also take a rare break.

On the other hand, Zhao Tiehu, who had withdrawn from the village, looked at the captain of the first team beside him and said, "Sun Jie, the rest of these little devils will be handed over to your team to be responsible." I have only one request, don't let these little devils run away until I return.

Since they were willing to stay in the village, let them stay. I'll lead people to chase down the escaped little devils and try to wipe them out before it gets dark. Leave these little devils behind, and wait for them to come back and slowly clean them up.

The previous attack had already consumed almost all the supplies and ammunition they were carrying. It is estimated that these little devils don't have much ammunition and supplies in their hands, as long as they dare to break through, they will insist on fighting back for me, can you do it? ”

'Yes! Rest assured, Captain, I promise not to let a little devil escape from the village. ’

As the captain of the first team, Sun Jie wanted to follow Zhao Tiehu to clean up the group of little devils who escaped from the village. But he knew that Zhao Tiehu was deliberately letting the little devil retreat. Only then will it be easier to pack up.

Now the little devils who stay in the village have wings and can't fly, and it's only a matter of time before they are cleaned up. Even if a strong attack can also wipe out this group of little devils, it will also make the attacking troops pay a lot of money.

But Zhao Tiehu suddenly changed his attack to a trap, first packed up the group of little devils who escaped, and besieged the group of little devils who left behind the palace. In this way, if the little devils in the village do not leave, there is a possibility that they will be completely wiped out.

If you go, the combat team members who have been hidden in the fortifications outside the village will undoubtedly be easier, easier and more active to clean up these little devils who are ready to run away!
