Chapter 563: Explosives
"Quick, before the devil arrives, blow up all the artillery, and you can't leave a screw for the little devil!" Fang Xiaoyang gave the order to bomb the cannon.
"Staff Officer Fang, it's a pity that these artillery pieces have exploded." The commander of the Lu company was distressed, these field artillery pieces could be equipped with a field artillery battalion, but now they were going to blow them up, which was too loser.
"We're running for our lives, can you run fast with these things?" Fang Xiaoyang reprimanded.
"But don't we have cars?"
"Car, let's pull these artillery, what about the wounded of the Sichuan army who broke through?" Fang Xiaoyang didn't think about pulling away these artillery, these are baby bumps, which can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops.
But after weighing it, even if they pull it away now, they will still be discarded when the time comes, and it will even slow down the speed of the march.
If the final mission fails because of greed, Fang Xiaoyang will not forgive himself no matter what.
At this time, he understood why Leng Feng emphasized that everything should be task-oriented.
Artillery is something outside the body, and life is priceless, not to mention that they are still veterans of some bloody battles, and the value is far above these artillery.
"Give up, we'll just capture it from the Japanese in the future, this won't be our last battle." Fang Xiaoyang ordered.
"Staff Officer Fang, we can operate up to four field guns, why don't we take four and blow up the rest?" Company Commander Lu was still reluctant.
Fang Xiaoyang thought about it, this was a compromise solution, taking away all the twelve field guns would definitely drag down the march, and they didn't have so many people to manipulate it.
If you only take four guns, you can also increase the firepower of the breakthrough troops, who knows what will happen along the way, with artillery support, at least there is a fighting force.
"Okay, take the four gates, and blow up all the rest!"
"Yes!" Company Commander Lu heard that Fang Xiaoyang agreed to his plan, and ran over excitedly to give the order.
A few minutes later, along with the captured Japanese weapons, ammunition and radio equipment, all the people were evacuated by car or on horseback!
After the violent explosion, the artillery position of Xiaoqian Village instantly turned into a sea of fire, and when the Japanese rushed up, they saw a mess, the wreckage of artillery and a pile of Japanese corpses.
"What, the Chinese blew up all the artillery and fled in a car?" When Fujita received this report, he spit out a mouthful of old blood on the spot.
"Cavalry, call cavalry, chase me!"
"Hay!"
West Gate of Teng County.
Tang Xiaoying looked at her watch nervously, half an hour was almost over, their task was almost completed, and they were about to retreat, they were just giving the Japanese army an illusion and attracting the Japanese army's firepower, not really going to die here.
The Japanese were apparently enraged, and artillery bombarded Xiguan Station, using at least ten more guns, and also dispatched tanks, at least five or six tanks launched a group charge at Xiguan Station.
Zhang Xuanwu: They were almost suppressed and couldn't raise their heads.
The sudden unusual artillery fire made Tang Xiaoying smell a trace of danger, the Japanese army changed their tactics, they must have noticed that the breakthrough of the West Gate was just a bait, and the trap laid was useless, so they ordered a strong attack!
"Inform Commander Zhang, withdraw quickly!" Tang Xiaoying hurriedly ordered the communication soldiers.
Although Tang Xiaoying's order was not slow, Zhang Xuanwu and the Sichuan officers and soldiers at Xiguan Station were still attacked by the Japanese army's brutal artillery fire, and suffered heavy casualties.
Even Zhang Xuanwu himself was hit by shrapnel, wounded in the arm, and had his head broken.
The total number of officers and soldiers who withdrew was less than twenty.
You know, there was a whole company and more than 100 people before.
"Let's go, the Japanese army is about to extend the artillery fire!" At this time, he couldn't care if there were any people alive behind, Tang Xiaoying quickly withdrew towards the Xiguan Power Plant with a team of less than forty people left.
Less than thirty seconds after they left, a new round of Japanese artillery fire fell on the place where they had just been.
If they had been too late, they would have been wiped out.
It's really dangerous!
All the people who escaped were sweating, this life was completely picked up, if it wasn't for Tang Xiaoying's quick decision, I'm afraid it would really be killed on the spot.
"Quick, enter the secret passage, we only have ten minutes!" Tang Xiaoying set a time for them to travel from the Xiguan Power Plant to the East Gate.
Ten minutes!
If they can't get through within ten minutes, then their hope of survival is very slim, and the Japanese army's reaction speed will never be slow.
When the last person entered the secret passage, Tang Xiaoying blew up the entrance with a cluster grenade.
He knew that as long as the Japanese army rushed in, they should soon be able to discover the truth about the disappearance of the defenders in the city, but it was not easy to find the entrance to the underground secret passage in the city full of waste in the middle of the night.
Even so, with the strong strength of the Japanese army, they also have the ability to seal the exit of the breakthrough passage in a short time, and at that time, I am afraid that they can only be trapped in the tunnel.
Therefore, they had to compete with the Japanese army for time, because he was not sure how long the receiving troops would be able to hold out at the exit of the passage.
Ten minutes is already the limit of how far you can get through this secret passage!
In the east of the city, the brick kiln factory, although the Japanese troops who rushed out of the city killed Fang Xiaoyang a lot of accidental shelling, but the Japanese troops in the city still rushed out, and there were tens of thousands of Japanese troops around Tengxian County.
What's more, soldiers are not ordinary people, and they cannot act without receiving orders, and even if they receive a request for rescue, they must only ask for instructions before they can move.
Otherwise, if the situation is unclear and the enemy takes advantage of the loophole, then you will not be able to save people, and you will suffer.
Therefore, there should be at least five or six minutes of time for instructions and decision-making, plus the assembly team, etc., and it will take twenty minutes anyway.
Also, if people can solve it themselves, they won't ask you, and Fujita Ichiro thinks he can solve the problem, and when he finds that he can't solve it at all, this is like Seya inspired a telegram asking for guidance.
And by this time, twenty minutes had passed.
"Hurry, hurry up......"
"Let me down, let me down......" Zhou Tong was still carried out all the way.
"Who is this person, he doesn't look injured, how can he be tied, is he a prisoner of the Japanese army?"
"No, it's the magistrate of Teng County!"
"He's the county magistrate, what are you helping him do?" Guo Xing's face was confused.
"County Magistrate Zhou refused to evacuate, and insisted on coexisting and dying with Teng County, no one could make sense, so he had no choice but to tie him up and carry him to retreat."
"Is this county magistrate in the water, and he just wants to die like this?"
"Reader, this is a bit ......"
"Understood, it's stupid to read." Guo Xing smiled and said that he understood, this scholar is really a little difficult to understand, but the strange thing is that this kind of person can also be a county magistrate?
"Wang Lin, let me down, I can go by myself, you let them carry the wounded, don't waste your strength on me!" If Zhou Tong hadn't been tied, he would have jumped off the stretcher a long time ago.
"You save your effort and answer our troops, there is a car in front, and if you capture the devil, the wounded will get into the car at that time!" Wang Lin limped and said.
"You just blow it, where did the car come from, how can the little devil's car be so easy to seize." Zhou Tong snorted.
The battle for the brick kiln factory continued, and Guo Xing took over the positions of the Sichuan army with two platoons and a machine gun squad to cover the retreat of the Sichuan army defending the city.
Fujita Ichiro's mouth was blistering with blood, and the sky was as bright as day, and he clearly saw the Chinese troops defending the city coming out of the brick kiln factory and quickly marching east along the main road, while his troops were blocked by death!
I could only watch as the opponent was safely evacuated from Teng County unscathed.
"Damn, what about the reinforcements, when will the reinforcements arrive?"
"It will take a few minutes, if it weren't for the removal of the West Gate of the troops this afternoon, we wouldn't be short of troops now......" The subordinate underestimated.
"Bastard, in a few minutes, they'll be done withdrawing!"
In fact, Kei Seya had already led a squadron of tanks and a large group of Japanese troops to rush over by car, but this took time, the roads in China were not like Japan, and under the destruction of the war, it was even more difficult to walk at night, which was also one of the reasons why the Japanese army did not practice night fighting.
As long as the Chinese dig a hole on the road, the entire Japanese army can be paralyzed on the road.
Bang Dang!
The car stopped suddenly, and Seya Kai's head suddenly slammed on the front windshield, a boss's red envelope, and he shook his hand in anger and gave the Japanese soldier who was driving a big ear scraper.
"Bastard, how do you drive?"
The Japanese soldier was very aggrieved, and it was not his fault, but the car in front of him suddenly fell into the pit, and if he didn't brake suddenly, wouldn't he have crashed directly into the car with people.
"Nani?" Kei Seya jumped out of the car and saw the front half of the truck full of soldiers in front of him lying in a deep pit, and it was clear that someone had dug a trap on the road.
"Who did this?"
"But, maybe the guerrillas, they do that all the time?" The soldier was frightened by the hideous face of Kei Seya.
"Bastard, this is so close to the camp of the Imperial army, how can there be guerrillas running over and digging a pit?" Seya's face was full of blood.
“……”
"Captain, why do we dig pits and bury mines to save more trouble?"
"Can the guerrillas have such a rarity as landmines?" The captain cursed.
"Hey......
"Let's go, our task is to delay the devil's reinforcements, don't forget, what is our mission." The captain said very seriously.
"Get off, get off, run forward......" Seya Keiichi gritted his teeth, God knows if there is such a big hole ahead, this car is not a tank, it can not be walked on any terrain, and now it can only ride a bicycle and run forward.
However, the tank could carry some of the infantry forward quickly, and he also got into a sweltering chariot, leaving aside the infantry brigade and advancing rapidly.
