Chapter 685 - Counting is Counting

As long as Major Wang and they can support here for two days, then Li Dagang can guarantee that he will lead a small team to attack and destroy the command system and logistics warehouse of the attacking devils, and the devil logistics base near the Taizishan dock has been eliminated, in fact, the little devils can't support it for a long time at the moment, there is no food and ammunition, no matter how strong the devil's combat effectiveness is, no matter how fierce it is, it is useless, and the game is over.

Sure enough, it was really guessed by Li Dagang, just when he led the squad to the rear of the devils, the commander of the devil brigade behind launched several attacks on the main position in a row, all of which were defeated, and the devils under his command not only suffered heavy casualties, but also appeared in front of the retreat, the devil quartermaster below kept reporting that there was not enough food and ammunition, and there was a serious shortage of medicines, and if the siege continued, the only remaining food and ammunition could not support it for half a day, and the mortars and grenadiers were no longer shells. The soldiers had less than ten rounds of ammunition in their hands!

Seeing that his troops were about to rout, the commander of the Devil Brigade had to order to stop the pursuit, but he was not allowed to retreat, and stayed where he was waiting for the supplies to arrive.

The devil's troops stopped attacking, and Major Wang breathed a sigh of relief, the battle just now was really fierce, and there were more than 180 brothers in a reinforced company under his own command who were guarding the position, and now there are only less than 100 left, and this has only been fought for most of the day, and the devil's three attacks have been repelled. If he continues to fight like this, it is estimated that he will be getting farther and farther away from the goal of holding his position for two days that he promised to hold his ground.

Fortunately, the devil stopped attacking at this moment, and Major Wang was able to take a breath, he thought that this was the devil suspending the attack, and he would continue to charge later, so he hurriedly ordered his officers to pay close attention to the devil's movements and be ready to return fire at any time.

Later, after waiting for a while, he still didn't find that the devil on the opposite side had the intention of attacking again, so Major Wang couldn't sit still and hurriedly came to find Li Dagang, but was told that Li Dagang was leading his team to intersperse behind the devil.

Major Wang immediately contacted Li Dagang by radio, at this moment Li Dagang was leading a small detachment of his subordinates to intersperse with a place similar to the headquarters behind the devils, and was about to send scouts to reconnoiter well, Major Wang sent a telegram, and when he heard that the devils in the front had stopped attacking, he said impatiently to Major Wang: "The devils have suspended their attack, this is a good thing, it means that they have no ability to continue to attack, immediately attack, hit the devils with a counterattack, force them back for a few miles, and buy some more time for the retreat of the large army." ”

Just after he finished saying this to Major Wang, another telegram from Han Fei came, in which Han Fei asked Li Dagang to immediately abandon the existing blocking position and quickly retreat towards northern Jiangsu, because in the southwest of Pukou, a group of devil soldiers was suddenly discovered, and if the troops did not evacuate, they would be in danger of being surrounded and eaten by this group of devils!

Li Da didn't think the situation was serious at first, thinking that this group of devils who pounced from the southwest of Pukou would not be able to rush to the Pukou Railway Station so quickly, and he also wanted Major Wang to lead the team to rush towards the devil's position and force the devils back for a few miles!

But soon, in less than a few minutes, another telegram from Han Fei came, this telegram Han Fei demanded that Li Dagang evacuate immediately without the slightest delay, and if he disobeyed the evacuation order, he would be dealt with in accordance with military law!

Seeing that Han Fei was about to move in a hurry, Li Dagang hurriedly ordered Major Wang by radio: "I just received an order from Chief of Staff Han, stop the attack immediately, and retreat immediately, the sooner the better!" ”

Fortunately, Major Wang had just begun to prepare for the attack, and before he finished his words to the officers under him, he received Li Dagang's order to retreat immediately, and said to his subordinates with a wry smile: "Looking at this appearance, it is estimated that we have found a large number of devil main forces on our flank, otherwise, Chief of Staff Han would never be so anxious and want us to retreat immediately." ”

"Wouldn't it be better to take it down? The brothers suffered so many casualties, and they all looked forward to withdrawing as soon as possible. The officers beside Major Wang said.

"This can't be done, if that's the case, the retreat will definitely cause chaos, I'll stay for a break, you guys will retreat first!" Major Wang's mind is still sober, and after knowing that the soldiers in his army have this tendency, he hurriedly made this decision, retreating is definitely to withdraw, but it can't be a rout, at that time, it will be a big loss, not only will they be looked down upon by Li Dagang next to him, but they will spread it out in the future, how can they mix in the army?

Li Dagang suddenly remembered that the devil troops in the southwest of Pukou were rushing towards the side of Pukou, the situation here was precarious, if he did not send troops to block them, he and Major Wang's team might be outflanked by the devils, so he sent a telegram to Han Fei, asking if he wanted to block the southwest of Pukou now.

After Han Fei received Li Dagang's telegram, he immediately thought: "If Li Dagang and the others are allowed to retreat on all fronts at this moment, it is very likely that they will be surrounded by devils who are chasing from the side, Li Dagang's suggestion is right, and troops must be sent to block it!" ”

Han Fei immediately sent a telegram, asking Li Dagang to send a part of the troops on the side of the Pukou Fort to block the devils who pounced from the direction of Nanjing, "Fox" and Chen Wan'er They have already learned from the analysis of the intercepted devil telegram that this devil is a wing under Gu Shoufu, and its combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the Nakajima devils on the frontal position.

Hearing that Han Fei sent Liu Ruye to reinforce, Li Dagang was much more relieved, although his reinforced company had two hundred special forces, but compared to the thousands of devil soldiers who rushed up from the side, it was still a little insufficient, and the special forces brothers sneak attacks were interspersed in the line, and it was a little inferior to the devils on the fortifications, although they were not afraid of fighting a war of attrition with the devils, but after all, it was not as easy to do as a sneak attack, and the casualties of this kind of aftermath resistance war were too great, and I was worried. Liu Ruye came over with a battalion of infantry, just to solve his urgent need, so that his special forces brothers could use it to sneak attack Gu Shoufu's subordinates and catch them off guard!
