Chapter 721: The Blow Before the Breakthrough

Two thousand against four thousand, plus the devil has a firepower advantage. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the Liaodong Army was desperate, it still couldn't stop the Japanese army that was constantly attacking.

Rifles against s, two more rounds of grenades were thrown at each other.

There were still more than 1,000 riflemen left in the Liaodong Army, and more than 2,000 devils left, and they quickly intertwined together and began the most tragic fight.

The solemn expression on Da Shanyan's face quickly relaxed, and the chief of staff standing next to him was also excited: "Commander-in-chief, win, there are only more than a thousand people in the Liaodong Army, and it is definitely not our opponent to fight." ”

"As long as the Liaodong Army has no reinforcements, we will win this attack!" Dashan Yan replied confidently.

The chief of staff immediately said: "There are no reinforcements from the Liaodong Army, I have been staring at the back of the battlefield, and I have not seen reinforcements from the Liaodong Army." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, an exclamation sounded in the command headquarters.

"Reinforcements, the Liaodong Army has reinforcements, and they are hiding behind the position."

The guard battalion and reconnaissance company, which had been hiding in the communication trenches, suddenly appeared behind the position as if they were divine soldiers descending from the sky. Then, with a rifle with a bayonet in one hand and a loaded pistol in the other, he quickly rushed to the position.

In a few seconds, nearly a thousand Liaodong troops rushed to the battlefield and fought with the devils.

The officers of the guard battalion and the reconnaissance company, armed with pistols, were a bullet when they encountered the Japanese soldiers.

After all the bullets were exhausted, without saying a word, he put away his pistol and continued to greet the devil with a rifle with a good bayonet.

After a dense and messy burst of gunfire, more than half of the more than 2,000 devils fell directly.

At this time, the Liaodong Army, which still had bullets in the chamber, continued to greet the devils with bullets and harvest their lives.

Therefore, as the guard battalion and reconnaissance company joined the battle, the balance of victory quickly tipped in favor of the Liaodong Army.

Before Da Shanyan, who had opened his mouth and looked shocked, his subordinates on the battlefield were killed and wounded in pieces.

In an instant, Da Shanyan thought of the artillery fire just now, and shouted to the chief of staff next to him, who was also shocked: "Shelling, order the artillery to open fire immediately, I will blow up all the Liaodong Army on the position." ”

After the order to cover the indiscriminate artillery fire just now was issued, the target did not meet expectations, and not only nearly 1,000 soldiers were lost under the shelling of their own men, but also nearly two infantry wings were lost in the subsequent attack.

In this case, Dashanyan insisted on going his own way and then issued an indiscriminate artillery fire covering order, and more than a dozen subordinates were not as happy as they were just now.

Everyone, including the Chief of Staff, had a hesitant expression on their faces. Then he stared at the big mountain rock to confirm that the order just now was true.

Da Shanyan also reacted from his anger at this time, and saw his subordinates' suspicion of him from more than a dozen pairs of eyes.

"Yaga! Could it be that we watched the remaining warriors of the position being slaughtered by the Liaodong Army and did nothing? Like an angry lion, Dashan Yan cried out.

Next to him was the regimental commander who reminded in a low voice: "We can continue to send troops to join the battle." There were less than 1,000 people reinforced by the Liaodong Army just now, although the combat effectiveness was very strong, but I deduced that this should be the last force in the hands of the Liaodong Army, otherwise it would not have been only reinforced with less than 1,000 people. ”

"As long as we draw out another wing to attack, the under-armed Liaodong Army will definitely be wiped out by us."

After only thinking for a few seconds, the angry Dashan Yan gave the order.

When the devils of a wing rushed to the battlefield without their lives, there were less than five hundred devils still struggling on the battlefield. Judging from the situation on the battlefield, in ten minutes at most, the 10th Division will be able to deal with these 500 devils.

However, the attacking troops of the Japanese follow-up company could rush to the position in five minutes at most, and the 10th Division had less than 2,000 combat troops left, and there was no time to eat them.

Xiao Bing, who was frowning, immediately realized the danger and ordered to the chief of staff: "Send a retreat signal, and the troops will immediately disengage from the Japanese army and retreat." ”

"With the assistance of the engineer company, the retreating troops were led around the minefield, and by the way, the communication trenches were also mined."

The chief of staff was subconsciously ready to give an order, and after looking at his pocket watch, he asked with a hesitant expression: "But now there are still ten minutes before the time set by the commander for us, is it too early to talk about it?" ”

Xiao Bing frowned and replied, "Didn't you see another wing of devils coming up?" If we don't retreat, we won't be able to retreat back with 2,000 men left. Don't forget the mines that the engineer company just planted, and 500 mines will definitely have no problem blocking the devils for ten minutes. ”

"Send a retreat signal immediately, if you don't retreat, you won't be able to leave."

Although in the retreat, two or three hundred Jiangdong troops were dragged by the devils and had to stay in positions and fight with the devils.

But the remaining more than 1,800 elites were withdrawn, and under the protection of the engineer company, they quickly left the battlefield along the communication trenches.

Because all this came too fast, by the time Dashanyan reacted, the Liaodong Army had already retreated dozens of meters.

A huge surprise immediately enveloped the mountain, as if he had seen victory and beckoned to him.

Then he ordered his subordinates around him: "Order the attacking troops to catch up, bite the retreating troops of the Liaodong Army, and continue to assault forward." ”

"Chief of Staff, send another infantry brigade to follow the pursuit, expand the breakthrough, and don't let a wing of the forward be dumpled by the Liaodong Army."

At this time, the gunfire on the battlefield had slowly stopped, and nearly 3,000 devils with rifles chased the Liaodong Army a few hundred meters away. In their opinion, the Liaodong Army has become a lost dog, as long as they catch up with them, they can easily eliminate them. Therefore, in the process of pursuit, every devil made a lot of effort, and he was afraid that he would be one step behind and give up his exploits to others.

Da Shanyan and others in the rear headquarters, the tense atmosphere of the command headquarters has disappeared, replaced by a relaxed and happy atmosphere after the victory, they also believe that in the next pursuit battle, the victory has belonged to the emperor ** team.

But at this moment, a violent explosion was like a tightening spell, which made Dashan Yan's newly relaxed heart tense again.

"What's going on, where is the explosion!" Dashan Yan subconsciously raised the telescope and looked in the direction of the explosion.

In the middle of the pursuing troops, a thick cloud of black smoke had risen from the ground.

With the help of a telescope, they can see clearly. A pillar of black smoke was the center, and no less than ten soldiers fell around it.

Da Shanyan's brows furrowed, and just as he was about to speak, a violent explosion in the two provinces rang out on the battlefield.

As two puffs of black smoke rose into the air, twenty or thirty more subordinates were blown over in the explosion.

"Yaga, what the hell is exploding, why is it so powerful!" With a shocked face, Dashan Yan couldn't help but ask.

"It's a mine, there is no cannonball, only a mine has such a great power!" The commander of a division immediately reminded.

Da Shanyan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted and scolded: "Nani, how can the Liaodong Army have such a sad weapon. Eight grid tooth road, with mines to block them, the Liaodong army is too shameless! ”

After scolding, he immediately ordered: "Order the sappers to the front to clear mines, immediately!" Also, let the pursuing troops stop, if the Liaodong Army has planted more mines on the ground, no matter how many troops we have, we will not be able to withstand such an explosion. ”

After the order to stop the pursuit reached the front line, at least 50 mines were detonated, and more than 600 Japanese troops were killed and injured under the witness of Dashanyan, and lost their combat effectiveness. (To be continued.) )
