Chapter Twenty-Five: Retreat

This time, the army chose a more prudent way of attacking, fully drawing on the experience of the first defeat, and this time the army invested all its troops, striving to take the position of the Chinese defenders with one charge.

In the first attack, the army dispatched only one and a half brigades, but this time, in addition to the more than 900 soldiers who were no longer able to participate in the battle, the entire 68th Wing invested nearly 3,000 troops, and in addition to artillery and some non-combatants, the troops who participated in the direct attack alone numbered 2,000 troops.

You must know that in this era, a 2,000-strong army of 2,000 people, if properly commanded, can resist even in the face of an army of 10,000 people in China for a period of time. After all, the military quality of the soldiers on both sides is there, and if Huaxia wants to catch up with the Yue army, it will not be able to do it for a while.

The army had set up an offensive formation two thousand meters away, but it had not moved, as if it was waiting for something. Su Dao was lying on the mortar position in the rear, watching the movements of the Yue army, there was a faint bad premonition in his heart, and suddenly, Su Dao seemed to think of something, and his face suddenly changed.

"Concealment, pay attention to the artillery!" Looking at the actions of the army, Su Dao knew that the other party was going to carry out artillery bombardment, but on the other hand, the defenders' position did not make any response measures at all, and the soldiers were still lying on the position and waiting, but this kind of response did not play the role of anti-artillery at all, Su Dao had to give a loud order from dozens of meters away, it seems that he will have to find an opportunity to train these boys well in the future, and he does not even have the most basic battlefield judgment ability.

The soldiers of the third battalion finally reacted after hearing Su Dao's shout, and it seemed that after Su Dao's reminder, they understood why the army was standing there and didn't move, it turned out that the army was holding back its strength and wanted to make it bad. Deliberately pull the troops to a place where you can see, but can't hit, swaggering in an offensive formation, letting you lie on the position and prepare for defense, but at this time suddenly give you a burst of artillery bombardment, casualties will definitely increase, even if the defenders react later, but it is already too late, and after you do a good job of countermeasures, the artillery shells of the army have already fallen on the defenders' positions.

'Boom, boom! ’

Sure enough, the soldiers of the third battalion had just drilled into the anti-artillery hole, and the artillery fire of the Yue army followed, and one by one the shells accurately fell on the positions of the three battalions, but this time the shelling was no longer the mortars of the Yue army, but the 37mm rapid-fire guns, as well as the 92 infantry guns, and the shells fell accurately and punctually on the positions of the three battalions.

After feeling the power of the large-caliber naval guns, the 92 infantry guns and the 37 rapid-fire guns of the Yue army seemed to be able to scratch the itch of the Chinese defenders. Even if a shell hits directly, the defenders with trenches and anti-artillery shelter will not lose too many troops.

The artillery attack of the Yue army is continuing, and the situation on the side of the two battalions of the fourth regiment is much better than that of the third battalion, after all, the main target of the artillery fire of the army is the position of the third battalion, and occasionally there is some free time to patronize the position of the fourth regiment. Although the artillery attack was terrible, for such small-caliber artillery, as long as the defensive measures were taken, it could not bring any trouble to the defenders.

Soon, however, Su Dao discovered a scene through the lookout hole that was hard for him to believe, only to see that the army began to put on gas masks in front of the position, and ordinary soldiers might laugh at the fact that they had brought the ugly thing to their faces, and would laugh at the long tube that was dragged to their mouths.

But Su Dao had seen all kinds of gas masks in later generations, and no one could know better than Su Dao what the army was going to do next.

"Retreat, all out of position." Su Dao, who didn't have time to observe the situation carefully, immediately shouted loudly at the front position.

This time it was the turn of the soldiers of the third battalion to be puzzled, this good man was hiding in the anti-artillery hole, and the artillery of the army could not be blown up or injured, so why did he have to retreat? As soon as you go out, don't you leak all of yourself under the fire of the army? This time, the soldiers were not able to carry out Su Dao's orders well, except for a small number of people who stood up to look at the surrounding situation, and after seeing that no one had retreated, they continued to return to the anti-artillery hole.

"Fuck, Lao Tzu told you to retreat, hurry up!" Seeing that the soldiers did not react, Su Dao couldn't help but feel angry.

In fact, what Su Dao didn't know was that the soldiers only heard Su Dao shouting, and no other officers came to command the retreat. In case you hear the wrong order, it's not fun to be cleaned up by Su Dao. Besides, retreat before the war starts, and it's a shame to spread the word.

Su Dao shouted and retreated in the back, but the soldiers on the front line were still hiding in the anti-artillery hole and were unmoved, for no other reason, first, because there were not many soldiers who heard Su Dao's shout, and they thought it was an illusion, and second, because the artillery fire was too loud now, and many people did not hear Su Dao's shout.

And Su Dao, who shouted to retreat, found that the soldiers did not retreat according to their orders, and even Su Dao was furious for a while, grabbed the M1 Garand rifle next to him, and fired a shot at Liu Sanpao.

'Smack! ’

'Whoosh! ’

A bullet drilled directly into the mound of soil next to Liu Sanpao's head, looking at this sudden bullet, Liu Sanpao was suddenly a little annoyed, who the hell is shooting indiscriminately? I don't know it's dangerous, right? Because of the angle problem, the only place that can shoot bullets into the mound here is his own rear, Liu Sanpao just wanted to be angry, but when he looked back, the anger in his heart was suddenly forcibly suppressed by Liu Sanpao.

I saw Su Dao holding the M1 Garand rifle in his hand and pointing at him, Liu Sanpao secretly muttered in his heart, he didn't do anything wrong? Why is this going to get me shot?

But in the next moment, Liu Sanpao understood why he was targeted by Su Dao, Su Dao seemed to realize that he couldn't hear his shout at all, so he hurriedly gestured to Liu Sanpao to retreat, this time Liu Sanpao finally understood Su Dao's intentions, although he didn't understand why Su Dao would give up his position, but at this moment he didn't have any other ideas, he would do what the commander told him to do, and Liu Sanpao also recognized Su Dao from the bottom of his heart.

Watching Liu Sanpao command the troops to quickly withdraw from the position, Su Dao's face had a slightly relaxed expression, but this was only a temporary relaxation.

'Boom! ’

Suddenly, a shell landed in front of the position of the third battalion, this shell was significantly different from the previous shells, the sound of the explosion was not so loud, the power was not so great, the ground was only slightly moved, there were no shrapnel in all directions, and there was no heartbreaking explosion. But the shells created a yellow mist over the entire large position.

"Leave the equipment alone, get out quickly." Seeing this, Su Dao's nerves suddenly tightened into a line, and he suddenly stood up and shouted loudly at the troops who were evacuating.

At this moment, the yellow fog has not yet spread to the position, so at this moment, Su Dao can no longer care about his own safety, and he is not afraid of being hit by the artillery fire of the army, so he stood up and shouted loudly to the retreating soldiers. For Su Dao, the lives of soldiers are precious, and as long as there are soldiers, Su Dao will not worry about developing a strong army.

In this era, dead people are even more commonplace than commonplace, and the battle loss rate of an army is often very high, and a unit that has been training hard for several years has finally reached the elite level, and may even disappear completely after a battle.

Su Dao never thought that the army would use chemical weapons at the beginning of the war, and the sudden change made Su Dao somewhat helpless. When exchanging shells before, Su Dao had also seen some poison gas bombs, such as sarin gas, VX poison, Soman, etc., because of the inhumanity of chemical weapons, so Su Dao did not exchange them for the time being, because he didn't want so many people to die.

But now he didn't expect that the army would use this inhumane gas bomb just because the attack was frustrated, this time, the behavior of the army deeply stimulated Su Dao, originally Su Dao just planned to attack the army with a slightly more cruel white phosphorus bomb, but now, Su Dao has the idea of exchanging some gas bombs, since you have done the first year of junior high school, I have done fifteen.

ps: Regarding the gas bomb, the ranger needs to explain, the gas ranger does not know very well, and also found out that the army did use the gas bomb during the Songhu Battle in 37, but the specific name of the gas bomb could not be found, so it can only be vaguely passed, I hope everyone can understand the ranger, after all, the ranger is not omnipotent. In the end, it's the old saying, ask for recommendations, ask for collections, ask for rewards, this book will become more and more exciting, and please support you.
