Chapter 533: Retreat Now!
"General~! Please wait~! β
Harry rode his beloved war horse and ran about a kilometer when he heard someone calling out to him from behind. Harry heard the cry and reached out and took the reins, and the horse came to a very well-behaved stop, and Harry looked back to see his lieutenant galloping towards him.
The adjutant rode to Harry and stopped, and said loudly, "General, the headquarters is in an emergency~!" β
"Damn it~! Are these guys urging us again? Harry said impatiently.
"No, the command ordered us to return to Hamur immediately, because the front line of defense has been lost, and the command ordered us to rush back to Hamur to defend on the spot and block the attack of the Chinese." The adjutant hurriedly explained.
"Oh~! Oh my God! How is this possible? Harry said with a look of disbelief, "There are more than 10,000 people on the front line, how can it be lost in such a short period of time?" This is absolutely impossible, even if it is more than 10,000 cows, the Chinese people will have to kill them for a while! β
"It's unbelievable, but it's true. General, let's retreat quickly! If it's too late, I'm afraid it'll be too late. The adjutant hurriedly reminded.
"Yes~! You must retreat as much as possible, otherwise it will be too late. Harry came to his senses this time and hurriedly ordered loudly, "Inform the troops, stop the advance immediately, and return to Hamur after the front team." β
"What? Let's go back again, damn these officials are deliberately tossing us to play? Fack! β
"Fack! Lao Tzu can't run, Lao Tzu won't go, let those bitches go to hell! β
After receiving the order, the American GIs who did not know what to do scolded one after another, and the rapid march along the way had already caused these American GIs to accumulate a stomach full of resentment, and the front line was in danger, so they rushed to the rescue. They can grudgingly accept this. But now that they are about to reach the front line, they suddenly ordered them to go back, which means that the road is not in vain, so these American GIs will naturally not do it.
"Smack~!" A crisp gunshot rang out, and an American officer stood there like a goddess of victory, but he was holding a pistol in his hand, a pistol with a smoking muzzle. "I know you have complaints, but this is an order, and if it is an order, it must be carried out! Now I command you to return to Hamor at once as quickly as possible. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind court-martial. The officer said loudly and unquestionably.
The American GIs, who were still shouting and scolding just now, became honest at this time, and although they were still cursing in their hearts, they all obediently turned around and ran towards the way they came, because no one wanted to go to a court-martial.
Harry led his men and began to return the same way, and after walking for about an hour, a scout suddenly came to report. "Report to the general, a large number of tank units of the Huaxia Army have been found in the rear of our army, and they are now rapidly approaching our army."
"Massive? How much is a lot? Harry's face turned pale and he couldn't help but ask out loud.
"Report to the general, the exact number cannot be determined. But at least a hundred tanks! The Scout replied honestly.
"Hundreds!" Hearing this, Harry almost fell off his horse directly, staring at him with an expression of disbelief, "No wonder the front line will be defeated so quickly, it turned out to be attacked by a cluster of Chinese tanks." It is impossible for us to run over a tank on two legs. Leave a regiment, no! A brigade was used to block the tank cluster of the Chinese at any cost. The rest of the forces retreated at full speed, withdrawing to Hamul as fast as they could. β
"But General, should we leave that brigade behind?" The adjutant couldn't help but ask.
"Leave the 1st Brigade and tell Brigadier General SΓΉ Mack, no matter what, you must block the Chinese." Harry closed his eyes in pain and said slowly.
"But the 1st Brigade is the most elite unit of our division!" The adjutant exclaimed.
"The 1st Brigade is now at the rear, so it can only be them, we don't have time now, otherwise our entire division will be finished. Deliver the order! Harry said helplessly.
"Yes~!" The adjutant had no choice but to respectfully accept the order.
"Boom~!" "Da Da Da Da~!" Ren Yuan, who was sitting in the tank with his eyes closed, suddenly heard a faint burst of gunfire in front of him, suddenly opened his eyes, and asked loudly, "What's the matter?" β
"Don't know? It must have been the vanguard that was blocked by the enemy, right? The correspondent said uncertainly.
Ren Yuan frowned, stood up and opened the hatch, drilled his head out, raised the telescope and looked into the distance, observed carefully for a while, and then got back into the car, and said with a stern face, "Regiment commander, they have been blocked by the enemy, we will go to reinforcements immediately!" β
"Yes~!" The driver responded excitedly, increased the throttle again, and rushed forward.
"Da Da Da Da~!" Amid the roar of the machine guns, a rain of bullets swept towards the American troops, and patches of American GIs fell under the rain of bullets.
The U.S. troops who stayed behind to block the attack didn't have time to build any fortifications, and the tanks of the Chinese army drove over. Jiang Lijun led dozens of tanks to act as the vanguard of the army, and when he saw that the enemy was blocking, he rushed forward without even hesitation and plunged directly into the battle. With no fortifications and a lack of effective anti-tank weapons, the result of encountering the onslaught of enemy tank clusters in the field is undoubtedly very tragic. And now such a tragic fate has fallen on these American GIs who stayed behind to stop them.
Although under the instigation of the officers, these American GIs who went to the battlefield for the first time took up their rifles one by one without fear of death in an attempt to block the tanks of the Chinese, but such a stupid move was tantamount to using a mantis arm as a car.
Looking at the comrades at the front, one after another falling under the rain of enemy bullets, the American GIs were frightened, and they began to retreat.
"No~! I don't want to stay here, I want to go home! Mom~! A soldier with a bloody head on his head screamed and stood up, running backwards in disregard. Naturally, these blood and brains were not his, but a comrade-in-arms who was still standing beside him just now, a rain of bullets swept by, and half of the comrade-in-arms who was still talking just now was directly knocked out, and the blood and brains splashed on him. At that moment, his head banged, as if he had been struck by lightning, and he looked at the mutilated corpses of his comrades around him in a daze, until the sound of gunfire next to him woke him up, but at this time, the rookie spirit on this battlefield was already a little abnormal, and he ran backwards with a shout. But after only running a distance of more than ten meters, he fell to the ground, and several blood holes in his back were bubbling with blood, and his eyes were full of fear, but he was already dead.
