Chapter 45: Alternate Retreats

The soldiers of the Third Regiment fired their guns into the sky one after another. With the burst of firecracker-like gunshots, something fell from the white parachute from time to time, including pistols, rifles, steel helmets, daggers, and other weapons and items that could prove the identity of the devil.

When Hu Fei was staring at a parachute, he suddenly noticed a small black dot in the corner of his eye. Hu Fei flashed to the side quickly, the wind was blowing in his ears, and almost at the same time he heard a "pop" sound. Looking at it again, a small yellow leather bag fell on the ground between him and Yuan Fang.

Yuan Fang's hands were fast, he bent down and picked up the small leather bag and opened it to take a look, and he was happy. "Brother Fei, we're rich!" Sure enough, I saw Yuan Fang holding a stack of colorful banknotes in his hand.

I don't know whose marksmanship is so accurate, and he actually knocked down the devil's wallet! I don't know if the devil's gold tooth will be laid next.

As the wind changed, the devil paratroopers began to scatter in all directions. Of course, those who fell directly into the position of the Japanese army were lucky, and those who fell on the position of the national army could only sigh their own bad luck. The worst thing is to fall into the ditch pond. The paratroopers were strapped to parachutes and various equipment, and it was inconvenient to fall into the pond to swim, so they could basically only end up drowning.

The raid force led by Zhang Lingfu and Hu Fei was not large in number, and the territory occupied was not large, and there were not many devil paratroopers who could be hit by them. Most of the paratroopers either fell on the Japanese positions or fell into the mountain stream of Zhanggushan.

The devil paratroopers also carry weapons, and they can also shoot at the ground from a high position in the sky. However, compared to the intensity of the attack of the national army on the ground, the attack of the devil paratroopers is basically negligible.

Although the paratroopers who fell from the sky did not cause much confusion to Hu Fei, it was a strong spiritual shock to the vast number of national officers and soldiers in the Wanjialing area. On their side, they fought with the devil for their lives, and how many people died to achieve the current advantage. As soon as the devil plane passed, a steady stream of additional personnel were airborne from the sky, how can this battle be fought? How can the devil finish fighting?

This kind of shock or panic is wide-ranging, including the death squad fighters that Zhang Lingfu brought to Zhang Gushan are also worried. The most direct expression of the panic in the hearts of the soldiers is that on the battlefield, their attacks are not so sharp!

Kenju Iino, who commanded the battle on the front line, could feel any slight changes on the battlefield, and the weakening of the attack intensity of the national army naturally could not escape the eyes of Iino Daisa. After a little pondering, the old devil found that there was a connection between the weakening of this attack and the Japanese airborne paratroopers.

When the paratroopers came, the attack of the Chinese was not so fierce; The paratroopers came, and the grassroots commanders of the Japanese front-line units were replenished, and the dilemma of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Wings was also alleviated at the same time. If he didn't know how to take advantage of such a favorable situation, then he would not be able to be the wing commander of the Japanese field division.

Kenten Iino ordered the Japanese army under his command to counterattack immediately! At the same time, contact aviation to assist in the offensive!

The devil exerted his strength. The devil planes in the sky flew over in droves, dropping bombs and strafing machine guns; All the big and small artillery guns of the devils in the underground were fired together, and the ground shook the mountain, but the mountain was almost blown up.

The officers and men of the raid team, who had already gained a firm foothold, suddenly became busy again. Zhang Lingfu led the 74 officers and soldiers to resist desperately, but the devil was ruthless this time, they simply drew two more squadrons from the frontal blocking position, and the raid team really couldn't stop it.

Seeing the rapid attrition of his own soldiers, Zhang Lingfu had no choice but to give the order to retreat. I can't hold it if I stay here, so instead of sacrificing in vain, it's better to withdraw first and wait for the opportunity to fight back.

The 200 men of the 74th Army were in the front, and the 3rd Regiment was a little behind. In fact, by the time the battle has been fought, whether it is Zhang Lingfu's officers and soldiers or Hu Fei's brothers, nearly half of them have been lost.

Can you fight a war without dying? What's more, today's battle is so fierce that it will not work if there are fewer dead. Hu Fei and Zhang Lingfu didn't count the casualties, but both of them knew that the losses of the 200 people they brought with them on the first day were definitely more than forty percent!

The retreat on the battlefield is cross-covered, step by step, and if everyone retreats in a swarm, it will not be a retreat, but a rout. Zhang Lingfu retreated with his troops, and Hu Fei's troops certainly had to cover; On the contrary, when Hu Fei led his troops to retreat, Zhang Lingfu also had to lead people to cover. So that everyone can take it down.

Hu Fei has no objection to covering, as a friendly army on the same battlefield, it is common to cover each other, and it is not unusual. To cover friendly forces, fight! Hu Fei led the soldiers to defend the fortifications they occupied, resisting the attack of the devils. Zhang Lingfu took the opportunity to quickly lead his troops to retreat.

When passing by Hu Fei's fortification, Zhang Lingfu came in to say hello, "Head Hu, thank you!" In ten minutes, you will retreat with your brethren! After saying a salute, Zhang Lingfu turned around and left. Time is pressing, and he doesn't have time to hang out with Hu Fei here.

Ten minutes, right? Hu Fei took off the pocket watch and put it in his hand, he had to look at the watch, withdraw it when he arrived, and he couldn't stay for a minute! If you hesitate for a minute, maybe a few more fighters will die, and that is a crime!

After Zhang Lingfu left Hu Fei's bunker, he quickly retreated with his troops, and did not stop until he reached the gentle slope above the cliff. If he retreats any further, he will have to go down the cliff, so won't this time be in vain?

There are a lot of large and small stones on this gentle slope, and it is not bad to arrange it as a defensive position, Zhang Lingfu plans to use this gentle slope as the last blocking position. If he couldn't stand it, it wouldn't be too late for him to climb down the cliff along the rope.

Zhang Lingfu ordered the troops to set up defensive positions on the spot, and when Hu Fei retreated after a while, he still had to cover others. I've been playing all day today, and I'm really tired. Zhang Lingfu sat down on the ground against the stone, took out a cigarette and lit it. He doesn't have much of an addiction to smoking, but it's a pleasure to smoke one when he's tired.

"Traveler, please call the shots for me!"

Someone around him suddenly spoke, and Zhang Lingfu turned his head to see that it was a soldier under his command. Zhang Lingfu still has a little impression of him, this kid seems to have a brother who has also been incorporated into the assault force. Was his brother martyred?

"What's your name? Something straight to say. "Zhang Lingfu still takes care of his soldiers. If this corporal's brother really died in battle, Brigade Commander Zhang would not mind paying this corporal an additional pension with his own allowance.

"My name is Zhang Youfu. My cousin, Zhang Youlu, was a sergeant in the raiding force. I beg you to avenge my cousin! Zhang Youfu suddenly cried as he spoke.
