Eventually, these officers also chose to retreat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, the 2nd Battalion advanced to a position less than forty meters from the position.

As soon as the mortars providing fire cover stopped, several hundred men of the second battalion rushed to the Japanese positions with rifles and light machine guns.

Of course, in the process of rushing, they did not forget that one person greeted the Japanese position with two grenades.

Soon, except for a small number of corpses, a Japanese position that could not be seen by a living person was trampled under the feet of the 2nd Battalion.

"Battalion commander, the Japanese army has fled, and they are in front!" The officers and men of the second battalion, who rushed to the front, loudly reminded the battalion commander not far away when they saw the Japanese soldiers fleeing frantically a few hundred meters away.

"Why are the Japanese troops on this position so unbeaten, and we have fled for our lives before we have attacked!" The battalion commander complained with a look of incomprehension.

Then he ordered his subordinates around him: "Chase it immediately, we must not let go of such a good opportunity to beat the water dogs." If you're lucky, you might be able to follow them and kill them directly to their division headquarters. ”

"The troops continue to attack and pursue the Japanese rout! The herald, notify the special combat team operating the mortar behind to keep up, and then inform the regiment commander behind that our second battalion is ready to beat the water dogs and chase down the Japanese rout! ”

The 2nd Battalion began in pursuit, and continued to shoot forward, killing the lagging Japanese troops.

Under the threat of death, the Japanese soldiers, who were frantically fleeing for their lives, were also in a hurry. Because they lost the courage to continue fighting, these Japanese soldiers even lost their weapons in order to survive, hoping that they could run faster than their comrades.

Soon, the second battalion followed the Japanese army for two or three miles.

Then. Both the Japanese troops in front and the second battalion in the rear became exhausted.

And at this moment, the headquarters of the Japanese division suddenly appeared in front of him.

The divisional command, despite the fact that there was only one brigade of combat units, such as artillery. Even if more than 1,000 people are replenished to the combat troops, there will still be more than 1,000 people left.

Therefore, the total strength of the Japanese division and regimental headquarters directly reached a staggering 2,500 people.

In addition, the commander of the Japanese division is here, and in the eyes of many defeated soldiers, as long as he can run to the division headquarters and run to the division commander, he will be safe.

In this case, the exhausted Japanese rout was as if they had been stimulated in an instant, and they rushed forward desperately, wanting to rush to the division headquarters as soon as possible and get the protection of the division commander.

The 2nd Battalion, which followed behind their butts, also saw the Japanese division headquarters.

As soon as the battalion commander's eyes lit up, he immediately ordered his brothers to speed up the pursuit, and directly followed behind the rout to the Japanese division headquarters.

Of course, the battalion commander also knew that with just a few hundred people at hand, even if he killed the Japanese division and regiment headquarters, it would be impossible to swallow thousands of Japanese troops in a short time.

The only way to defeat the Japanese army in front of the second battalion commander was to defeat them, just like in the battle just now, and give the Japanese a beating of the water dogs. Only in this way can the 2nd Battalion take the headquarters of the Japanese division and regiment at the minimum cost, open the assault channel, and inflict maximum casualties on the Japanese army.

As soon as he ordered the troops to speed up the pursuit, the battalion commander turned around and ordered the herald behind him.

"Inform the special combat team members in the back to immediately arrange artillery positions, shell Japanese positions, pay for the deployment of the Japanese army, and create an opportunity for us to assault their division and regiment headquarters!"

They followed the Japanese rout until they were three or four hundred meters away from the Japanese division and regimental headquarters, and the special combat personnel carrying mortars followed.

At this time, it was learned that the Liaodong Army had broken through the three defense lines carefully arranged by itself so quickly and directly killed the division headquarters.

The shocked division commander also didn't care about his own safety and rushed directly to the front-line position.

"Eight Geya Road, why did the Liaodong Army kill it so quickly, how did they do it!" Looking at the Liaodong Army that was closely following behind the rout, the division commander shouted with a stunned expression.

No one answered this question, because everyone was frightened by the Liaodong army that had been killed.

The only chief of staff, who still retains a shred of sanity, did not answer this question either? Instead, he frowned, and reminded the division commander: "We must not let the Liaodong Army enter our position, as soon as the Liaodong Army enters us, we will be finished, and the Liaodong Army must be blocked." ”

The division commander also reacted at this time, and immediately ordered: "Tell the defeated troops in front and immediately retreat to both flanks of the position." Order the guard brigade to prepare for battle, shoot as soon as the Liaodong Army appears, and be sure to block them. ”

The division commander's idea is good, but whether the defeated soldiers who are bent on fleeing for their lives can carry it out is another question.

In the eyes of the rout, as long as they escaped to the division headquarters, they could survive. Therefore, they can escape to the division headquarters as quickly as possible. As for the orders of the division commanders, they apparently ignored them in comparison with their lives.

"Baga, why haven't they retreated to the two flanks of the position, it's too late if they don't disperse to the two flanks!" The chief of staff grumbled with a frown.

The division commander was obviously much more ruthless, and with a frown on his brows, he ordered: "Order the guard brigade to be ready for battle." As soon as the rout rushed to a hundred meters in front of the formation, they opened fire. Regardless of whether we are enemies or enemies, whoever rushes to a hundred meters will kill whom? ”

"At one hundred and fifty meters, shoot a warning shot and give them another chance."

Although this order was likely to bury the more than 1,000 routed soldiers who were still alive in front of the position, the chief of staff of the division also knew that this was the only way to ensure the safety of the division and regiment headquarters. So, the chief of staff, albeit reluctantly, gave the order.

Soon, a series of gunfire rang out from the Japanese position, and a dense stream of heavy machine-gun bullets flew backwards almost close to the heads of the rout.

To the disappointment of the Chief of Staff, the gunfire did not play a role in the rout.

More than 1,000 routed soldiers still rushed towards the division headquarters without their lives. In this case, the division commander could only close his eyes in pain, ready to give the order to shoot.

But at this moment, a series of shell screams that made the division commander smell the color suddenly sounded over the battlefield, and then three violent explosions sounded in the position.

"Baga, the Liaodong Army has artillery, and it is a new type of artillery that they are equipped with. Let the troops hide and avoid artillery fire, the new artillery of the Liaodong Army is too powerful. The division commander decisively ordered.

Less than a few seconds after the order was issued, a series of denser screams sounded over the battlefield, followed by a violent and dense explosion in the position, and more than a dozen fireballs mixed with a large amount of black smoke also rose in the position of the position.

Under the rain of mortar shells, the Japanese troops on the position could only lie on the ground to avoid artillery fire.

At this time, they didn't even know if they would survive until the end of the shelling, not to mention shooting to stop the rout.

The Japanese troops who were rushing towards the division headquarters were also stunned at this time, because they had just tasted the great power of this artillery.

Faced with the constant explosions in front of them, the Japanese rout immediately hesitated, not knowing whether to continue the attack or what to do. (To be continued.) )
