Although the thick smoke of gunpowder blocked the view, it could not stop the bullets flying overhead.

As soon as there were fewer bullets fired from the opposite side, the leader of the devil squad found out.

"Eight Geya Road, the people on the other side of the branch have run away! Warriors, attack now, reinforce the squadron leader, kill it! ”

More than 50 devils rushed forward shouting slogans that everyone did not understand, and then easily rushed to the high ground that the reconnaissance platoon had just occupied.

The leader of the devil squad followed behind, and before he had time to show a smile after winning the battle, several explosions of "boom ......" sounded on the high ground.

"What's going on!" The team leader subconsciously stared at his subordinates around him and asked.

"Report to the captain, it's a trick mine, the enemy has placed a trick mine on the high ground!" A military cao rushed over and reported.

The squad leader immediately ordered: "The enemy is retreating in a hurry, and there must not be too many tricks. The troops continued to rush forward, reinforcing the squadron leader. ”

"Boom, boom, boom......" After a few more explosions sounded on the high ground, there was no trick mine that was stepped on by his subordinates again.

Less than forty devils, like hungry wolves, slaughtered to the battlefield filled with gunsmoke.

The squad leader also rushed to the high ground where eight corpses of the Imperial Army had fallen.

At this time, the gunfire on the battlefield had completely stopped, and from the initiative of the Eighth Route Army, which was blocking him, he had a very bad premonition about the safety of the squadron leader.

Sure enough, on the highway more than 100 meters long, five military vehicles were staggering and listening, and two military vehicles were smoking from the fronts, and at a glance, they knew that they had been bombed in the battle and could not be used.

Seventy or eighty corpses of imperial soldiers, some of them fell to the ground, some of them fell in the carriages, and some of them hung on the railings of the carriages, and they must have been hit by bullets when they were about to jump out of the carriage.

"Report to the captain, Your Excellency the squadron leader and more than eighty warriors are all killed in battle, and not a single one is alive!" A military officer rushed over with a shocked look of disbelief on his face.

Seeing that the captain did not speak, the military cao immediately proposed: "The enemy has just retreated, and they must not have run too far, and they have also brought wounded, so they must not be able to run fast!" Shall we go after it right away! ”ad_250_left();

The squad leader, who was holding back his anger, scolded directly: "If you want to die, don't pull me!" ”

"Your Excellency Squadron Leader, so many people are not enemy opponents, and there are only a few of us. Keep pursuing, what's the difference between that and sending to death, stupid! ”

After several subordinates lowered their heads and looked aggrieved, the squad leader didn't say a word, and directly ordered: "Clean up the battlefield immediately, load all the corpses of the dead soldiers into the car, and then cover them with canvas, and declare them to be the corpses of the enemy!" ”

"Then we'll watch the enemy slip out from under our noses!" A military officer who obviously only had courage and no wisdom shouted unwillingly.

"It's just a matter of letting them live a few more days for the time being!" The squad leader said with murderous aura in his words.

"The enemy just now must be the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and during this time, our brigade trained desperately to eliminate the Independent Regiment to take revenge. Now that the training is complete, it will definitely not take too long, and the brigade commander will take us to attack the independent regiment, and it will not be too late to take revenge when the time comes! ”

"Execute the order, return to the county seat first!"

Only seven of the ten military vehicles of the Japanese army went out of the city, and only half of the infantry squadron came back, and the enemy did not even see a single corpse.

When the news reached the brigade headquarters, many staff officers clamored for the squad leader who had withdrawn without permission to be court-martialed.

Think he's a coward and shouldn't have watched the enemy leave.

However, the brigade commander, Major General Ono, did not say a word from beginning to end.

Of course, there are also those who believe that the squad leader's decision to retreat is correct, and if the pursuit continues, it is possible that the remaining dozens of imperial troops will also be wiped out by the enemy.

"Baga, shut up for me, this is the headquarters, not the vegetable market!" Listening to the annoying noise around him, Ono frowned and shouted with great dissatisfaction.

"Instead of arguing here about whether a squad leader's decision is right or not, think more about how we can get revenge on the enemy. The enemy has inflicted such great losses on us right under our noses and made us lose face, are you planning to be such ninjas! ”

No one has the guts to bear the wrath of a general.

The dozen or so staff officers who were still arguing just now all lowered their heads at once, like children who had done something wrong.

Ono continued: "Since you all want to know whether that squad leader is right or wrong, then let me tell you, this squad leader is not only not wrong, but also meritorious! ”

"If it weren't for his correct decision, dozens of Imperial Army warriors would not have safely retreated to Laiyuan City!"

"If it weren't for his claim that the corpses of the Imperial soldiers in the carriage were the enemies who attacked us last night, the entire Laiyuan City would still be panicked!"

"Also, where is he cowardly. According to intelligence, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, which ambushed us out of the city, also lost quite a few people. If it weren't for him leading the follow-up troops to desperately reinforce and force the Independent Regiment to fight a positional battle with us, the losses of the Independent Regiment would definitely not be so great! ”

After some astonishing analysis, Major General Ono directly ordered: "Chief of Staff, draw people from the supplementary team to make up this squadron and promote this squad leader to squadron leader." I believe that this squadron, under his command, will definitely become the elite of our brigade! ”

"Hey!" The chief of staff hastened to answer.

At this time, Ono didn't mean to stop, and asked after staring at the chief of staff.

"How is the training of the troops, if I remember correctly, it has been almost a month since the last battle with the Independent Regiment."

"It works very well!" When it came to his own job, the tension on the chief of staff's face disappeared, replaced by a deep sense of confidence.

"General, after a month of running-in training, the combat effectiveness of all infantry brigades has been significantly improved, and they can participate in the battle at any time."

"The cavalry brigade, baggage brigade, and engineer squadron that have been replenished in the back have also initially formed combat effectiveness!"

"In addition, the light and heavy equipment of the infantry brigades has been fully replenished according to the requirements! Each infantry brigade has four infantry squadrons, one heavy machine gun squadron, and one infantry artillery squadron. Because of the peculiarities of fighting with the Eighth Route Army, each infantry brigade is equipped with a mortar squadron that is more suitable for mountain operations! ”

"The artillery brigade directly under the brigade includes a field artillery squadron, two mountain artillery squadrons, and a rapid-fire artillery squadron, all of which form combat effectiveness!"

"Yo Xi!" A rare smile appeared on Major General Ono's serious face.

But it didn't last long before it was covered with seriousness again, and after glancing at a dozen subordinates in front of him, he said: "As I said just now, the independent regiment has brought us such a great shame, and we must take revenge." ”

"The Eighth Route Army is too cunning, and a small group of troops attacked, and it will definitely be us who suffer. Therefore, I decided to concentrate the main forces of the brigade and regiment, with the cooperation of artillery and air force, to directly attack the station of the independent regiment and force the independent regiment to fight a decisive battle with us. ”

"Now that the troops have been trained, then we will not wait. Chief of Staff, give me two days to draw up a perfect battle plan! ”
