Chapter 30: The Devil Retreats

The two brigades of the 9th Wing attacked in unison, and the two brigades of Wang Dazhu and Qian Sixi attacked from both sides to the middle. The combat ability of the devil brigade-level troops is quite strong, and in addition, the two brigades cooperate with each other, and in terms of attack ability, it is more than twice as strong as a brigade fighting alone. Although our army has an absolute superiority in numbers, it is not something that can be done in a moment and a half to encircle and annihilate these two brigades like the annihilation of the third brigade.

The two brigades of the devils, more than 2,000 people, have entered the ambush of our army since they entered the ambush place of our army, and the enemy and our army have immediately entered a state of stalemate.

Artillery bombardment, machine gun fire, white-knuckle fighting, and various ways of fighting between armies all appeared in this battle.

Two brigades, four regiments, launched round after round of charges against the devils from both sides of the road. Now that the enemy and our armies have fallen into the vortex of close combat, it is not easy for Van Boin's artillery battalion to open fire indiscriminately. During this period of fighting, the artillery battalion also consumed a lot of shells, Gao Quan didn't plan to use all the shells on the head of the ninth wing, the battle in the future is still long, the sixteenth division is not only this wing, the shells are exhausted, and when they are used again in the future, the artillery will become an ornament!

Gao Quan also had an independent brigade on hand. Although Wang Dazhu and Qian Sixi couldn't take the two wings of the devil for a while, there was no doubt that they had an advantage on the field. Now that the troops of the two sides have fought together, even if the independent brigade is thrown into it, it will only make the already chaotic battlefield even more chaotic.

Gao Quan has always disliked fighting this kind of battle to the death, this kind of hard battle with no technical content, even if he wins, he will kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 himself. With the devil's strong strength, maybe this battle is over, and the battle losses of his own troops will be higher than that of the devil.

The 500 Division now has only 12,300 people left, and Nakajima's 16th Division is a master regiment of 20,000 or 30,000 people. Gao Quan's goal is to leave as many devils as possible in Nakajima Isaago's 16th Division, so naturally he can't use all the strength of his body in this kind of desperate battle.

"Order Brigade Commander Zhang, the Independent Brigade to go around behind enemy lines and attack the Devil Wing Headquarters and its direct subordinate troops that fell behind!" I don't want to fight this kind of desperate battle, but I don't want to let go of this big executioner Katagiri Goro like this! Gao Quan simply ordered Zhang Erxiao to carry out a decapitation operation, bypass it, and kill the headquarters of the Ninth Wing!

"Xiao Qi, go organize snipers and snipe the captain of the devil wing!" I was especially worried about sending the Independent Brigade over, so I simply sent the personal killer Liu Qi over and directly killed the old devil Katagiri The most reassuring.

"Yes!" Liu Qi agreed, turned around and went out to gather his snipers. Although there is no clear establishment of sharpshooters and sharpshooters in the reconnaissance battalion, Liu Qi, as the commander of the troops, knows which people are the most outstanding in each unit. Every time you deploy manpower, just shout it.

There was always a company of the reconnaissance battalion on standby outside the division headquarters, and these people were not only convenient for Liu Qi to call at any time, but also to prevent the division headquarters from being attacked by accident. All day long, I went to the rear of the devil to do unsightly things, so I naturally had to prevent the devil from coming to do this. Fortunately, the 500th Division is not particularly famous now, and it has not attracted enough attention from the top level of the devils, and no small team has been sent to carry out a sneak attack yet. However, as the battles of the 500 divisions became more and more fought, it was difficult to say what would happen in the future.

"Snipers out!"

The soldiers saw the battalion commander come out with a serious face, and immediately lined up in the open space in front of the division headquarters. As soon as Liu Qi gave the order, more than fifty soldiers immediately stepped out of the ranks and stood in front of the team.

"Company Commander Zhao will continue to be on guard with the rest of the soldiers, and the snipers will follow me!" Liu Qi is a sniper, Gao Quan ordered the sniper to go on a mission, and of course Liu Qi had to lead the team in person.

"Battalion Commander Liu, the division seat will let you come!"

Liu Qi was explaining the combat mission to everyone, and when he heard this, his brows were furrowed, and he turned his head to see that it was the Golden Tiger. Although he was puzzled, Liu Qi still did not hesitate at all, and gave an order to let the snipers stand by, and he himself followed Jin Hu to the tent of the division headquarters.

"Xiao Qi, the devil has retreated." When Liu Qi came in, Gao Quan was wiping his three-eight big cover. There were a few gun parts scattered on the table, Gao Quan was holding a piece of oilcloth, and he was wiping it intently, and when he saw Liu Qi, he casually said something enough to surprise everyone.

Just two minutes ago, Gao Quan received a report that the two brigades of the devils on the battlefield had begun to retreat, and Wang Dazhu and Qian Sixi asked for instructions on whether the troops were in pursuit. At the same time, according to the reports of the front scouts, the 19th Brigade of the Devils is already moving to this side, preparing to meet the Katagiri Wing. It seems that Nakajima Imago is not worried about his Ninth Wing!

The way things turned out was obviously beyond Gao Quan's expectations, but it was also reasonable. There are thousands of people in a wing of devils, and no division commander will give up easily. Losing a wing on the battlefield will be questioned by the Tokyo base camp as soon as Lieutenant General Nakajima returns. It is difficult to say whether you will not go to a military court, and you will definitely not be able to run away if you are held accountable.

Gao Quan just didn't want to fight to the death with this group of devils, and the battle damage data reported by various units showed that in the two days of fighting, although the devil completely annihilated a main infantry brigade, and in the artillery battle, killed an artillery squadron of the devil, the number of casualties among our soldiers was also more than 1,000. The battle with the third brigade of the devils was a complete ambush war in the form of more victories and fewer victories, just like that, the battle losses of the two sides almost reached one to one, and the face-to-face confrontation with the ninth wing of the devils, how big will the casualties of our army be? Will it reach a figure that is unacceptable to Gao Quan?

The high casualty rate has always been avoided by Gao Quan, and since the devils have withdrawn, let them withdraw. Letting the devils retreat is not to give up the war. If the devil does not leave our country for a day, this war will not end, and Gao Quan will not give up the calculation of the devil for a day.

Just after Gao Quan received the information that the devil had begun to retreat, he had already issued a new battle order to all the troops on the battlefield. The 500 Brigade and the 201 Brigade of the 200th Brigade needless to say that after the contact with the devil is lifted, they must maintain the posture of "firing guns and sending off". I believe that the devils will not go back to Wang Dazhu and Qian Sixi for the sake of our army's scattered cold guns and cold guns. The troops of the two armies have already fought just now, whether it is the opponent of this squadron, the devils have already known in their hearts. The devils are not really stupid, knowing that they can't be beaten, of course they won't come again.
