Chapter 454: The Sorrow of the Japanese Captain

Liu Tianshu received a report from Qin Yonghe and knew that the artillery had successfully attacked the reinforcements of the devils. According to the results www.biquge.info of the observation post at the front, most of the vehicles of the Devil reinforcements were destroyed, but the Devil Transport Squadron, which was walking behind, suffered less losses because Liu Tianshu requested not to destroy it for the time being. However, Rao is like this, the casualties of the devil should have been more than half.

Liu Tianshu put down the telegram in his hand and said to Su Lan, who was sitting on the side: "Director Su, Qin Yonghe has done a good job, the devil's reinforcements have been beaten half to death, and they have lost the ability to reinforce Ningyuan City, and now they are retreating westward. ”

"The use of artillery alone has hit the devil's reinforcements? It's great. Tianshu, what are your plans next? When Su Lan heard the good news, she couldn't help but smile and looked at Liu Tianshu.

"Since the devil came out of Huainan City, we can't be rude. I think so, this group of devils has been pulled out of their big teeth anyway, isn't our second regiment and third battalion still in Yuejiang Town? I will hand over this matter to Tang Weihua, the commander of the third battalion, and at the same time let the first battalion rush over. Now the devil has no cars, and there are so many wounded soldiers, the speed must not be fast, after dark, it will be our world. Liu Tianshu said with pride.

If there is a battle during the day, as long as the devil's plane does not come to make trouble, Liu Tianshu is naturally not afraid, but according to his understanding of the devil, as long as the battle starts into a stalemate, how can the devil not send a plane to come.

Take Qin Yonghe's bombardment of the devil's convoy at Daheba as an example, in less than an hour, the devil's plane arrived over the scene, but Qin Yonghe moved in advance with artillery, and the devil's plane circled in the sky for a long time, and also blew up a mountain forest in dust, and finally did not find the shadow of Liu Tianshu's artillery, so he had no choice but to return.

Tang Weihua, commander of the third battalion, received an order from Xie Pingcai, saying that the devils who had been reinforcing Ningyuan City from Yuejiang Town to the east had been violently attacked by artillery at Daheba and had retreated in the direction of Yuejiang Town.

After putting down the telegram, he excitedly called his company commanders, informed them of the great news, and then ordered the first company to attack the enemy who was desperately retreating westward, and the second company quickly prepared for battle in the mountains and forests southeast of Yuejiang Town.

Although the devil suffered a big loss, after all, there were still four or five hundred people, plus nearly a thousand puppet troops, and the three battalions alone did not have the ability to eat them in one go. However, the regiment commander said that the commander of the first battalion was rushing with his troops, and as long as the devils could not withdraw to the west of Yuejiang Town before dark, what was waiting for them would be a merciless blow from the New Fourth Army.

As soon as it was connected to the command, it was immediately up to action and carried out the attack along the way in platoons. The three platoons of the company were like wolves, hiding on both sides of the road, and when they saw the devil retreating, they pounced on him and bit him when they saw the opportunity.

The artillery platoon of the third battalion had four 60 mortars in their hands, and at this time two of them cooperated with the action of a company, and the commander of the first company was a guerrilla member of the Red Army before, and was naturally very proficient in this kind of guerrilla tactics, he asked the artillery to mount the artillery on a small hill, and when he saw the retreating team of devils coming, he signaled the artillery to get ready, and when he entered the range of artillery fire, he immediately let the artillery come and fire three rounds rapidly, and then quickly withdrew.

The artillery immediately opened fire, the shells flew out quickly, and they fell into the column of the puppet army walking in front, raising two columns of smoke, and those puppet soldiers who were walking in a panic heard the explosion, and immediately broke their hearts and galls, shouted Mom, and began to run around.

At Daheba, they tasted the great shelling of the New Fourth Army, which was really bitten by a snake, and they were afraid of grass ropes for ten years. These puppet soldiers thought that the fierce blow of the New Fourth Army's artillery fire would follow, so they naturally fled for their lives.

Their escape caused a great chaos in the entire retreating team, and the puppet soldiers behind who were responsible for carrying the wounded soldiers of the Japanese army were desperate to leave those wounded soldiers behind, turn around and run on both sides of the road.

Who knew that there were only six shells flying in, except for two that fell into the puppet army team that opened the way in front, causing a loss of three dead and two wounded, the last four fell in the middle of the team, two Japanese soldiers were unfortunately killed, and five soldiers were injured.

It's just that the chaos brought about by this wave of attacks made the Japanese captain stunned.

The puppet army that ran to both sides of the highway did not expect to be hit head-on by the New Fourth Army, more than a dozen puppet troops were knocked to the ground, and the rest of the puppet army retreated back like lost dogs.

Finally, the troops quieted down, and the Japanese captain had to send a small group of Japanese troops to walk in front, and at the same time sent alert troops to both sides, and the entire retreating team carefully and slowly withdrew towards Yuejiang Town.

After walking for a while, the Japanese troops who were walking in front saw that the road had crossed a mountain ridge, and they were worried that the New Fourth Army was blocking it, so they had to carefully search and advance towards the mountain range.

Seeing the Japanese army in front of him sending a safety signal, the Japanese army behind walked towards the mountain, but at this time, the Japanese army walking at the end was suddenly attacked by a wave of grenadiers, and these hateful grenadiers should have been ambushed in this vicinity in advance, letting go of the large troops walking in front, until a Japanese squad walking at the end came, then suddenly opened fire and attacked.

Countless cannonballs flew out from one side, and in a blink of an eye, they fell into the team of the devils after the break, these devils heard the sound was wrong, and could only lie down desperately, but unfortunately there were twenty cannonballs that flew in, covering the entire team, and with the explosion of the shells sounded intensively, the Japanese squad was blown up, and countless soldiers were blown up by the grenadier shells produced by the empire.

The explosion of the shells stopped in a blink of an eye, the whole road was filled with gunsmoke, and a small group of Japanese soldiers, fortunately not hit, were less than twenty people.

The Japanese soldiers slowly got up, their eyes swept around, but unfortunately there was no movement, as if nothing had just happened.

If it weren't for his companions, he would be lying bloody beside him.

The Japanese squad leader's life was really bad, he was hit by a shell that fell beside him, several large holes appeared in his body, and a pair of eyes looked at the mud on one side with dull eyes, and he didn't breathe anymore.

The remaining soldiers were just about to treat their undead companions when a group of Japanese soldiers rushed over to reinforce them, and at the same time quickly conducted a fire search on both sides.

With the help of the Japanese troops who came to reinforce them, the broken squad finally lifted up the dead and wounded companions and walked forward in despair.

Probably in a hurry, he didn't even take away the weapons and ammunition of the dead soldiers, and he didn't destroy them.

After the devil walked away, the New Fourth Army, which was hiding in the distance, carefully came to the highway under the command of the platoon commander and began to clean up the battlefield.

After seeing that the devils were also carried away by the Japanese soldiers who were killed, the platoon commander couldn't help but smile knowingly.

The speed of retreating with these dead devils and wounded soldiers can be imagined, not to mention that there are other troops in front of them to block and harass along the way.

When the captain of the Japanese army heard that the squad walking behind had suffered more than half of the casualties from the grenadiers of the New Fourth Army, he just nodded blankly, and at this time he had begun to become numb.

He was accustomed to seeing hundreds of casualties in a sudden attack, but he was not used to losing twenty or thirty people in such an attack.

On the way to retreat just now, the captain of the Japanese army sometimes wondered if he was unfortunate enough to serve His Majesty the Emperor in the round of artillery bombardment of the New Fourth Army than to retreat with his troops.

At least that doesn't have to worry about it.

It is a pity that from Daheba to Yuejiang Town, the attacks of the New Fourth Army have not stopped along this road, and the tactics of the New Fourth Army are very tricky, and they do not engage in a head-on exchange of fire with the Imperial Army at all.

He is indeed a little crazy about this tactic of taking a few shots and leaving, seizing the opportunity is a fat beating.

On the way to retreat, the surviving artillery fire was naturally inconvenient to deploy, and the New Fourth Army only attacked from a distance, taking away a few dozen lives from each attack, plus more than a dozen casualties, so that now, those puppet troops who cooperated with the action could not take care of the wounded, and they had to draw out a part of the Japanese army to carry the wounded.

The corpses of those imperial soldiers who died in battle, after several attacks by the New Fourth Army, under the persuasion of his officers, he could only give up.

However, the hundreds of wounded in the troops seriously affected the troops' mobility and forward speed.

It seems that before dark, I am afraid that I will not be able to go to Yuejiang Town.

The captain of the Japanese army glanced sadly at the sun, which was gradually sinking in the west, and after crossing a small hill, painfully decided that the troops would stop in the small village ahead.

When they arrived at the small village, they found that the villagers inside had long since disappeared, and the Japanese captain asked his men to be on guard around and then let the troops enter the village.

In order to prevent the shelling of the New Fourth Army, the Japanese army had to control all the heights outside the village, but unfortunately, there were only some wounded soldiers and a small group of Japanese soldiers in the village.

As for the puppet army, they were sent to defend outside the village.

Even with your toes, you can imagine that the New Fourth Army will attack the Japanese troops stationed in the village tonight.

In the temporary command post, the captain of the Japanese army group chewed wax and ate canned military food, and then used the radio to report the current situation to the wing commander.

In the message, he expressed his desire to serve His Majesty the Emperor in a very pessimistic manner.

Now in his hands, there are less than two squadrons of infantry capable of fighting, plus baggage soldiers, sanitary soldiers, etc., less than 500 people, especially the machine gun squadron, in the battle of Daheba, the loss has been more than half, and the rest are now all sent out to guard outside the village.

There are two infantry squadrons left under his squadron, the captain of the machine gun squadron has been killed, and the transport squadron is relatively intact at the moment.

However, due to the lack of troops, the transport squadron also sent a small team to carry out defensive tasks outside the village.

As for the puppet army, it really disappointed the Japanese captain, and now they are naturally all driven to defend outside the village.

The consequence of the lack of troops was that the Japanese army had no way to hold the village tightly. (To be continued.) )
