Chapter 61: Traps and Mines

The 501st Regiment and the 500th Regiment were not too far apart, and the two regiments crossed to cover each other, and retreating was not a particularly difficult task. The life precipitation of the commanders of the two regiments in the first half of their lives was too rich, and they did a lot of things like this when they retreated before the battle, and they did it when they were young, and now they are doing it again, and it is almost the same as being familiar with the road.

You think, the two of them were bandits for the first half of their lives. How can a bandit fight a big battle with people? If you grab something, what are you waiting for if you don't run? Waiting for the officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress? Like this, fighting and fighting, turning around and running, that is a compulsory course when the two of them occupy the mountain, as long as they are making a big deal, they must go through this set of procedures. How to cover, how to retreat, each of these two has their own account in their hearts, and they don't need to be taught at all, they are proficient in it!

When Huang Sanpao first started, he was gritting his teeth and holding it up. Although he knew that he was going to retreat in the end, he didn't dare to retreat without permission until he received the order from the brigade. Retreating before the battle without an order is to flee from the battle, and you will be shot!

Just when the waist of the 500th regiment was about to break, the order from the brigade headquarters finally arrived. Huang Sanpao held the telephone and listened to Qian Sixi repeat it twice in a row: "Lead the troops to retreat immediately!" I believe that this is not an auditory hallucination in my ears.

The deployment of personnel had already been arranged, and there was no need to give orders at all, Huang Sanpao just asked the herald to inform the three battalion commanders: start retreating. Then he led the regimental headquarters, escorted by the guard platoon, and began to retreat.

Of course, Okamoto Zhenchen Dasa is not satisfied, he has been holding us back for so long, and he doesn't know where to beat my cavalry brigade, and the avant-garde squadron has suffered a big loss in your hands, and now you want to leave? How can it be so cheap! Annoyed, Osa Okamoto immediately ordered his troops to pursue behind! He must teach these people who dare to disrespect the imperial army a vicious lesson!

The pursuit was not so easy to pursue, because the commander of the 500th Regiment was good at retreating, when retreating, countless small traps were arranged along the road to ambush, what mines, traps, traps and the like, endlessly, made the imperial troops of the 23rd Wing very uncomfortable.

For example, a certain soldier of the Imperial Army was walking and suddenly stepped on a trap and lay down on the ground crying, which seemed to be very painful. The other imperial soldiers who were with this unlucky imperial army saw that their companions had been ambushed, and they must have come to the rescue. After a closer look around and seeing that there was nothing unusual, and then looking at the unfortunate companion, he only had an extra trap on his foot, and his companions naturally gathered around to get the damn clip off him.

In this way of rescue, there is no mistake at all, and the devils came to the rescue after observing that there was no abnormality around.

However, just because there is no mistake does not mean that it is correct. The devils just surrounded them, and I don't know which unlucky ghost accidentally stepped on a landmine! "Bang!" All of a sudden, even the devil who was caught in the trap of the beast, and the few who came to save him around him, this small mine made half of the devil's squad lose its combat effectiveness!

This kind of little story is constantly played, and sometimes the story before and after is strikingly similar, even the number of people killed and injured is the same. If this kind of thing is repeated too much, there is nothing new, and the devils are tired of it, and they don't want to play this boring game anymore.

So, under the orders of Okamoto Daisa, the Japanese troops of the 23rd Wing returned to the road! It's not an asphalt road, but it's a road. There is no grass growing in the middle of the road, and it is impossible to arrange any hunting tools such as animal traps on the road, even if there are mines, it is always much easier to find than in the grass and gravel piles, right? The most important thing is that there are not a few complete roads in Xiangbei, and now this road is small, but it is still a good road.

The devils pursued forward along the path, and the fighters of the 500th Regiment retreated backwards from both sides of the road, and the 501st Regiment in front was covering with guns and bullets.

Just when the two sides were pursuing and retreating under this tacit understanding, a cold burst of shells fell on the heads of the devils who were pursuing wholeheartedly. The artillery battalion of the 500th Division fired!

This shell came without warning, and the devils did not prepare at all in advance, and at this time, the devils of the 23rd Wing suffered a big loss. The avant-garde squadron in front was almost completely wiped out by this artillery bombardment!

Looking at the smoke in front of him, listening to the screams and explosions of cannonballs in his ears, Okamoto's lungs are about to explode! After a fierce struggle with the guards around him, and successfully freed, for the sake of these guys' loyal protectors, His Excellency Dazuo generously forgave them for their crimes. Dazuo, who was trembling with anger, immediately ordered the artillery squadron of the wing to return fire! It's just that at this time, Battalion Commander Fan and his artillery battalion had already finished the transfer.

"Catch up and destroy the Chinese army in front!" Okamoto Daisa, who was stunned by anger, was already completely enraged by the Chinese army in front! When he has been in China for such a long time, when has he ever suffered such a loss? If he doesn't take revenge, he feels that he won't be able to explain to General Ushijima when he goes back!

After Huang Sanpao withdrew, Jin Feilong led his regiment to retreat. In this way, the two regiments crossed cover and retreated step by step. After passing this dangerous area, the two regiments of Huang Sanpao and Jin Feilong returned to the road and fought and retreated along the road. Gao Quan and his divisional direct subordinate team withdrew one step ahead of the two regiments. There are also a lot of people on his side, there is no need to squeeze together with Qian Sixi and them, everyone affects each other, even if they retreat, they can't retreat quickly.

Okamoto Zhenchen couldn't understand why the Chinese army in front of him was also walking along this road, why did they walk over and be fine, and as soon as their own troops walked up, they frequently hit mines?

This is created by Gao Quan, called "If you don't see the devil, you don't hang the string"! The sappers of the 500th Division had been busy on this road for a long time long before the start of this battle. Mines or something, they were planted early, but they didn't hang the trigger strings. The strings are very easy to hang, but when the mines are buried, it is a bit laborious. The thunder was buried in advance, and when our soldiers withdrew, they hung the strings for the devils. When the devil saw that our soldier had just run over, he thought that it must be all right, but when he stepped on it, the mine exploded.

Again and again, this kind of evil ** happened, and Okamoto Osa was a little unbearable. What is this? Do you want to rely on a few mines to block the way of my 23rd Wing?

There are no sappers in the wing, but there is an sapper brigade in the brigade behind! Okamoto immediately applied to General Ushijima and asked to send an engineer team to clear mines. How precious was the life of the Imperial Army of the 23rd Wing? How can you be killed by a mine like this!
