Chapter Thirty-Seven: Walking the Mountain Road in the Dark
After the soldiers retreated for five miles, Wang Dazhu realized that what he had just attacked was indeed the rear team of devils. If it was the vanguard of the devil division, those devils definitely didn't let go of themselves easily.
These devils are indeed defending after breaking. After the 20-10 Brigade rushed up and was repulsed, the devils only symbolically chased forward a few hundred meters before returning to the camp. It's not like the devils that Master Wang encountered before, he is extremely vicious and chases after him, as if he will never give up until he chases to the ends of the earth.
What to do? After a little consideration, Wang Dazhu made up his mind. He came out with his troops to carry out the task of harassing the enemy, and the mission was not completed, so how could he easily go back? At this moment, Gao Quan's telegram to him came. Master Wang took it and looked at it, and he was even more determined in his thoughts! Since there are a large number of devils in the rear team, then he will slowly grind with the devils here!
Divide the troops into two parts, and the two main regiments take turns to go out, touch the devil and fight it, and as soon as the devil counterattacks, this side immediately retreats. Another regiment was on the side, preparing for the next round of raids.
The devil's baggage soldiers are good-natured, and if they are harassed by our troops at will, they will not move like a mountain. Even if they went out to pursue, they never exceeded five hundred meters. It was as if there was an invisible wall over there, and the devil chased after the place, and immediately stopped moving forward and retreated. Liu Xing and Wang Jiantang, the two regiment commanders, even if they want to pursue while the devils are retreating, the grenadiers in the devil's army can provide fire support at any time. After the first pursuit force was damaged, Wang Dazhu forbade the troops to pursue the devil.
That's it, it's like they're playing a game, I rush closer, and as soon as you come out, I'll go back. When our army retreated, the devils did not chase far away, and when the devils went back, our army did not linger. Like a grind, the two armies pushed back and forth, but with each attack and retreat, soldiers were killed and wounded. It's a kind of death game that plays with human life.
The 201 Brigade's harassment tactics are indeed the best tactics to deal with devils. The devils have only a lot of firepower, and there is no better way to do it under the fighting style of our soldiers who will leave as soon as they get wet. The baggage wing was ordered to hold the rear road of the division and regiment, and if they went to chase the enemy, who would be responsible behind the division?
Wang Dazhu looked at his watch, and then looked up at the sky, the time was not early, and it seemed that he would not be able to relieve the siege of the 68th Army today. The last time, this is the last attack, if he still can't lure the devil out, then he can only lead the troops to withdraw and rest first.
"The spy company participates in the attack formation of the 504th Regiment, and the 503rd Regiment pays attention to the response, go up!" After adding another company to Wang Jiantang, Division Commander Wang resolutely launched the last offensive at dusk.
First, the artillery company of the brigade carried out a covering shelling, and then Wang Jiantang rushed forward with nearly 3,000 soldiers at hand towards the devil's position that had been attacked several times today!
Shells exploded in the ears, heavy machine gun fire became a ring, the front was blazing, and the battle was fierce. These fighters, who were immersed in the battle, of course, would not notice, just a few tens of kilometers away, and the battle, which was several times more fierce than they had here, had been going on all day.
I don't pay much attention to it during the day, for example, there is a bewitching sunset today, and the bright light that flashes on the edge of the sunset is the strong light produced by the explosion of the shells. Looking at the frequency of the light flickering, the battle over there shouldn't have only started to become fierce now, right? Wang Dazhu put down the binoculars, and a wry smile flashed on his face. Commander Liu, it's not that I don't help you, but I really can't help!
When Gao Quan received the report of Wang Dazhu's withdrawal, he had already set off with the soldiers of the supplementary brigade who had completely changed their clothes.
"These devils are really difficult." Gao Quan was distracted for a while while holding the draft of the telegram sent by Wang Dazhu. The Third Division, which has been replaced by Masataka Yamawaki as the commander of the division, seems to be much more stable, and it is more difficult for people to catch the flaws!
"Dazhu has already ceased fire with the devil, and he failed to attract the devil." Looking at Liu Qi next to him looking at him curiously, Gao Quan casually handed over the telegram draft and said such a sentence lightly.
"Speed up and get the brethren in good spirits! How imposing are the devils walking? All raise their heads and come out of the demeanor of Taijun! ”
As soon as he said this, a burst of laughter sounded around him. However, when the warriors walked, their chins were really raised, but they did not dare to raise them too high. Now it's a little dark, this mountain road is rugged, walking without looking at the road, one can't fall into the mountain stream cliff, it's not for fun.
The more you walk, the darker it gets, and the more you walk, the more you bend it. It looks like it's not far from the devil at the bottom of the mountain, but it's not close to walking. The mountain road is difficult to walk, not to mention the road under the mountain, and this road is not a straight road. The winding mountain road that circles back and forth, I don't know how far the soldiers who go down the mountain have to walk. Fortunately, the target of the devil in front of him is big enough, and looking at the bright light over there, he is not afraid of finding the way.
As soon as it was dark, the lights were lit in the devil's barracks. The large light seemed to be a beacon to guide the soldiers of our army. No matter how much the mountain road spirals, with so many lights illuminating, you will never get lost.
"Keep up, don't be left behind!" Many of the recruits in the supplementary brigade were recruited in the mountains, and walking mountain roads was the strength of these people. Despite this, walking on the mountain road in the dark still makes many people unaccustomed to it. Stumbling is even more common. From time to time, the officers leading the team reminded the soldiers under their command, not only to remind the soldiers, but also to cheer themselves up.
Another soldier fell not far from him, and Gao Quan walked over a few steps and scooped the soldier up. "Brother, be careful." This was the third person he had seen fall.
"Yes, I won't. Thank you, Gunza. After the soldier finished speaking, he stood up and moved his legs and feet, and after seeing that there was no big problem, he saluted Gao Quan and hurried forward.
No, it's getting darker and the visibility is getting worse. If we continue like this, there will be a big non-combat attrition, and there will be problems with the troops! It is said that he should have turned on a flashlight and lit a torch, but this time it was a covert operation, and there could not be the slightest exposure, and his troops could only walk in the dark like this!
Gao Quan looked around, and suddenly saw a bundle of rope on the back of the biaozi beside him.
Biaozi is an old bandit, and he knows better than anyone what equipment to bring for night walks in the mountains. Everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, and does not care about the frost on the tiles of others. This is a true portrayal of Biaozi's current character. Biaozi is the guard of the military seat, he only needs to ensure the safety of Gao Quan and himself, at most a golden tiger, and nothing else has anything to do with him.
Gao Quan saw the rope on Biaozi's shoulder, and a thought appeared instantly. "Biaozi, give me the rope!"
