Section 231 Do you dare to chase?

For Shi, fighting to the dead has been a habitual life for several years, and almost every day, he spends it with such a situation. But when he heard the casualties of the first battalion, he was still very painful in his heart, and what a sad scene it was to lose so many brothers, one hundred and forty or fifty men, one hundred and forty or fifty lives like him, to lose their vitality and lie there forever. So much so that after he heard the news, he was speechless for a long time, and everything seemed pale in front of so many lives.

"Tuanza, what should we do next? Otherwise, it will be dark soon, and there is no guarantee that the devils will not carry out a massive twilight offensive before it gets dark, and our losses may be even greater by then. And it's difficult to move after dark, or let's take advantage of this time before the devil moves! Chief of Staff Wu Zihuai looked at the stone for a long time and was silent, and couldn't help but suggest on the side.

Everyone on the side was silent when they heard this, obviously most of them also agreed with the chief of staff's opinion, after all, the devils have not attacked for so long, and they are obviously quite afraid of their strength, retreating at this time, the devil dares to catch up is not very likely, and there is still a distance from dark at this time, not to mention rushing to Liuyang, as long as you can pass Dongyang City and rush to the Jiaoxi area, it should be safe enough, the mountains there are steep, conducive to ambushes, and the devils must not dare to take such a risk in the case of great losses. Besides, it was not far from Liuyang, and the troops who received it could arrive at any time.

Hearing this, Shi couldn't help but come back to his senses from his depressed mood, he looked at Wu Zihuai, and then his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and he whispered, "Do you have any other ideas?" ”

Li Wenguang, who was on the side, opened his mouth when he heard this: "Brother Shi, if you retreat, I will take the guard company to stay behind and break the rear." ”

His words couldn't help but surprise everyone, and after seeing Li Wenguang's murderous face, they couldn't help but suddenly realize. Li Wenguang was born in the first battalion and has served as a battalion attached to the battalion for many years, and now after hearing the news that the first battalion has suffered such a big loss, he obviously can't help but want to avenge those brothers who died in battle! However, this guy is really bold, but there are two divisions of devils behind him, even if he can fight a guard company, after all, the number of people is limited, in this case, it is really surprising that he dares to take the initiative to apply to stay behind.

Just when everyone was surprised, Shi shook his head and said: "I will talk about the matter after the break, I still want to see what the little devils will do next, if they still dare to attack, hmph, I don't mind charging a little interest for the brothers who died in the first battalion." ”

Hearing the stone's words, everyone couldn't help but feel shocked, obviously with their understanding of the stone, they clearly knew the meaning of his words, and it seemed that the regiment commander was ready to make a big scene. The only thing that is uncertain now is whether the devils will attack again.

"Crazy man, a company will go to the tiger head to reinforce it first, pay attention to find out the strength of the devil's attack, if the strength of the attack is strong, boldly retreat and let the north of the town out." The stone pondered for a moment, then said with a firm decision.

Liu Wenfeng asked with an excited look on his face when he heard this: "What if the scale of the devil's attack is not large?" ”

"Fight, and you have to beat hard, try every means to kill the living force of the devils, these devils are different from those they have encountered before, they can't be scared just by being scared, only when they hurt and kill, they know that they are afraid. In the same way, only when it hurts and kills, will they not be able to control their temper and attack and kill them in a big way. The stone said with a murderous expression.

Seeing that Liu Wenfeng nodded, Shi turned to the tall sledgehammer and said: "Order the second battalion to immediately abandon the forward position and retreat, withdraw directly from Yong'an, and rush to join the first battalion and stand by." ”

When Gao Sledgehammer heard such an order, he immediately responded without the slightest doubt: "I'll do it immediately." After speaking, he got up and left resolutely, without the slightest drag. His action made Wang Shi on the side dumbfounded, and he couldn't help but ask anxiously: "Shi Tuanzuo, are our guard battalions retreating?" ”

Shi shook his head and said: "The guard battalion will not be withdrawn, if the devils take advantage of our retreat to attack, you will use the fortifications in the town to resist the Japanese army to the death, I want to see how many lives the devils can take to fill here." ”

Wang Shi couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart when he heard this, this is miserable, listening to the tone of this Shi regiment leader, it seems that he wants to use them to cut off the enemy, this task is really arduous and difficult for them, how many brothers will be killed or injured is the second problem, the most important thing is, how to tell the brothers in the camp after he goes back? Let Captain Shi use it as cannon fodder like this, will the brothers in the camp stop picking their sons?

Shi looked at Wang Shi silently, and couldn't help asking, "Camp Commander Wang, is there any problem?" ”

Wang Shi glanced at the stone, looking at the fierce momentum revealed under his calm appearance, where did he dare to say a word, and immediately he could only grit his teeth and say: "No problem, don't worry, Shi Tuanzuo, the guard battalion will definitely complete the task." After speaking, he looked at the people sitting and followed the example of the two battalion commanders in front of him, saluted and retreated.

The command headquarters calmed down for a while, and after a while, Wu Zihuai on the side quietly asked, "Tuanzao, is the guard battalion reliable?" ”

Hearing this, Shi Shi said unconcernedly: "It doesn't matter, the guard battalion is well-equipped, the individual combat ability is strong, and it is the strongest force in street fighting, the only deficiency may be the lack of some indomitable spirit, and this kind of thing can only be cultivated through continuous fighting, and it would be good to fight a few more battles." ”

After speaking, the stone finally ordered: "Tell the reconnaissance company to closely monitor the whereabouts of the enemy cavalry, and then tell the beard that the troops will retreat and temporarily get rid of the entanglement with the enemy cavalry." ”

The position to the west of Yong'an Town has long been calm, but the war has brought unimaginable trauma to the town, and the houses in the west have been destroyed, leaving only sections of ruins and ruins silently telling the ruthlessness of the war. The wreckage of the tanks and the dense corpses of Japanese soldiers outside the position of the second battalion illustrate the cruelty of war.

It is better to be a peace dog than a troubled world. If it weren't for the soldiers of the second battalion, they would have been accustomed to this kind of bloody scene, and I am afraid that even in the face of the corpses of these devils, they would inevitably have some low emotions such as rabbit death and fox sorrow. Now, they have long been numb to the war, except for a few observation posts who are always watching the enemy situation in the distance, the others are divided into several waves and are busy with their own affairs. Some soldiers were wiping their weapons and cleaning the chambers of their guns; Some soldiers were clearing the trenches for the next move; Others simply fell asleep and didn't care about anything else.

In fact, don't look at them all very casually, this is the real battlefield veteran, who knows how to use all the time to adjust his state and prepare for war. Immediately, they received the order to retreat from the battalion commander, although they felt that they were really a little unwilling to withdraw like this, but obviously they had been in the independent regiment for a long time, and knew that this order could only be given by the regiment commander, so there was no doubt, and they packed up their things and retreated one after another, abandoning the position on the outskirts of the town that had accompanied them for most of the day.

The actions on the position of the second battalion naturally could not avoid the observation of the Japanese army, as soon as they made a move here, Miyamoto Kuzo in the distance got the news, he immediately picked up the telescope and carefully observed, and what he saw was indeed as the sentry said, the enemy army was retreating on a large scale.

According to Miyamoto Kuzo's original idea and the consistent combat policy of the Japanese troops, when the enemy retreats, it is undoubtedly their best chance to annihilate the enemy. In the past, he would not hesitate to give orders to pursue and attack, even if it was possible to be ambushed by the enemy, he believed that with the strength of the various units of the wing, it was enough to fight a bloody battle and inflict heavy damage on the enemy. However, this time, he hesitated, not only did he hesitate, but several captains on the side also hesitated, seeing that the co-captain was silent, they also remained silent one by one.

"Left-tailed-kun, do you think we should start a pursuit?" Miyamoto Kuzo didn't know if he was a little undecided, so he couldn't help asking.

Zuo Weiming smiled bitterly in his heart, but he had to reply: "Your Excellency, at this moment, it is not a question of whether to pursue or not, but whether our pursuit is interesting or not!" ”

"Zuo Weijun, if you have something to say, let's say it directly, we have fought so many battles together, among our people, your brain has always been the clearest, and judging things is also the most accurate, although it is not a dangerous situation at the moment, but once it is not handled well, it is very likely to hurt the vitality of our army, so, please also ask Zuo Weijun to speak up." Miyamoto Kuzo said with a rare compliment.

has already started, naturally I have to continue, Zuo Wei Ming pondered for a while and then couldn't help but say: "Your Excellency, we were ordered to rush to fight, in fact, the main reason is to catch up with the main force of the enemy army, and cooperate with friendly troops to eat or severely damage this one." However, at this moment, it has been several hours since the main force of the enemy army withdrew, and at the speed of the enemy's army, I am afraid that it has already reached a place dozens of miles away, and it is not far from the sky at this moment, even if we defeat the enemy army in front of us now, I am afraid that if we want to achieve the combat mission, we can only fight overnight, and the night battle, for our army who is not familiar with the terrain, is really too risky, and more importantly, the strength of the enemy army in front of us is amazing, and the total annihilation of this part of the enemy army, if we rely on our wing alone, I am afraid that the loss will be not small. ”

Miyamoto Kuzo nodded slowly when he heard this, although his gaze was a little unwilling to look into the distance, but after seeing the combat effectiveness of the enemy army with his own eyes, he also had to be cautious and cautious.
