Chapter 248: The Commander of the Devil Brigade is even more heartbroken (Second Update!) )
After receiving the news, the squadron leader's first reaction was that it was over.
The cannonballs that keep falling are like the reapers of death, constantly reaping the lives of the remaining warriors.
What's more, in the face of the violent explosion like thunder, the morale of his subordinates is becoming low little by little.
"Immediately shrink the troops and move to the defense, the Eighth Route Army has artillery and heavy machine guns, there is no difference between continuing to attack and sending them to death!" The squadron leader gave the order to retreat very decisively.
However, as soon as they stepped back a little, the company of guards blocking them followed and pushed forward a little.
What's more, the mortars personally controlled by Wang Ping kept firing at them.
A reinforced squadron lost nearly half of its fire in less than five minutes.
"Captain, you have to find a way to break through. These Eighth Route Army had no intention of attacking, they must be a small force of the Eighth Route Army, responsible for blocking us, and then attacking and destroying us when reinforcements arrived. The squad leader reminded with a frown.
Another squad leader added: "It's best to break through now, after the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army arrive, we can't break through if we want to!" ”
The squadron leader nodded solemnly, and then replied fiercely.
"Fight, and the entire squadron will annihilate Zhang Bing, so at least someone can break through!"
"Captain, you've come up with a way to break through!" The two squad leaders asked, their eyes lit up.
At the moment of life and death, the squadron leader did not hesitate and directly began to give orders.
"Break through from the woods on both sides, although the woods are full of risks, but there are many of us, and there are few soldiers of the Eighth Route who blocked us, there must be many warriors who can break through from the woods! We all scattered, each with a small team, don't care about the sneak attack of the Eighth Route Army, and return to the station as quickly as possible! ”
The devil's every move did not escape the eyes of the guard company.
"Commander, the devils have gone into the forest, they must be trying to break through the forest!" The three platoon commanders who were guarding Wang Ping's side immediately reminded. ad_250_left();
For him, the more than 100 devils blocked on the mountain road were already the fat meat they had bitten into their mouths, and they couldn't let this piece of fat slip away from their mouths no matter what.
Wang Ping's brows furrowed suddenly: "The devil commander is very smart, knowing that our troops are insufficient, and if we disperse and break through from the forest, there must be troops that we can't care about can successfully break through and go back!" ”
"It's impossible to annihilate them all, now you can kill as many people as you can!"
"The troops are in squads, and they will pursue immediately!"
"But be careful to stay vigilant, this devil is frightened, don't be bitten by them at the last moment!"
When Zhang Yunshan led the team to hurry to the battlefield, the battle was already over.
Quite a few people in the guard company were injured in the pursuit, but most of them came back alive.
What's more, the soldiers who came back alive had no less than two rifles on their backs, and many soldiers replied with Type 96 light machine guns on their shoulders.
It didn't take long for Zhong Yusheng, the commander of the guard company, to run over, with a very complicated expression on his face.
"Commander, more than 250 devils, except for more than 80 who escaped, all the others were wiped out. A total of three mortars, three heavy machine guns, two grenadiers, 5 new machine guns equipped by the devils, and a large amount of ammunition were captured, just! ”
"There's nothing I dare not report, I have something to say!" Wang Ping interrupted directly.
"The casualties, the casualties of the guard company are a bit large. There are more than 80 fighters in two platoons, and now there are not even 30 people, and at least 40 of them have died! Zhong Yusheng reported with a heartache on his face.
Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "Don't forget, you are facing a well-equipped elite of devils, not the Imperial Army." Even if there are nearly half of the devil skill classes in it, the casualties that can be fought to one to two are already very good! ”
After speaking, Wang Ping ordered Zhang Yunshan: "Battalion Commander Zhang, assist the guard company to clean up the battlefield and prepare to retreat!" ,”
"What about the third line of defense! That's what hundreds of our warriors paid for with their lives! Zhang Yunshan immediately asked.
"There are no machine gun bunkers, the devils have planes, there are artillery, with our little strength, do you think we can hold the third line of defense?" Wang Ping asked angrily.
Zhang Yunshan lowered his head and replied: "Can't hold it!" However, after all, this is what we have worked so hard to regain. It's a shame to just give up! ”
"Let the sappers bury some mines on the position, don't say anything else, immediately carry out the order and retreat!" Wang Ping ordered very decisively.
Then he did not forget to comfort: "I know that the troops have suffered a lot of losses tonight, and as the commander, everyone is very heartbroken, and they can't wait to take a gun and rush directly to the devil's station to avenge the sacrificed soldiers." ”
"But don't forget, we killed almost twice as many devils today."
"If it hurts, the commander of the two kilometers devil brigade is even more heartbroken than us!"
As soon as Wang Ping withdrew, Chief of Staff Zeng Quan also received an order to retreat.
The commander of the Japanese brigade, Major General Ono, finally relaxed after several hours of tense heart. Because, after all, you don't have to worry about your own safety.
However, Ono's frowning brows did not relax, and he stared at the chief of staff and asked: "The gunfire on the front line has stopped, is it possible that several of the infantry squadrons we have arranged on the front line have been safely withdrawn!" ”
"General, the barracks are too chaotic, and there is no news yet, so I'll go and ask!" The chief of staff was also very nervous and hastened to answer.
Before the front foot could move, a second lieutenant burst in with a face full of gunsmoke.
"It's over, general, the troops we have deployed on the front line are finished, and the troops in connection with the response have also suffered heavy losses!"
"Nani, no way, you must be lying about the military. The Imperial Army at the front line exceeded six hundred people, and there was also a battalion of the Imperial Allied Army. The Eighth Route Army, which attacked them, didn't even use infantry artillery and mortars, how could so many imperial troops be wiped out so quickly! Before Ono could speak, the chief of staff had already rushed to ask.
"He is the leader of the first squad of the fourth squadron of the third brigade, and it is our squadron leader who took people to pick him up, and he definitely did not lie about the military situation. Our squadron leader was also broken, and the three squad leaders broke through with me! The team leader quickly replied.
"Yaga! How so, Chief of Staff, I need your explanation! "Coupled with the loss of the barracks, nearly a thousand imperial troops were lost in one night. Ono couldn't hold back the anger in his heart any longer, and stared at the chief of staff and asked.
"It's not clear about the lowly position!" The chief of staff replied with his head bowed.
Then he stared at the lieutenant squad leader in front of him and asked: "Bage Yalu, hurry up and report, what is going on on the front line!" ”
"We don't know how the front-line troops were wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, but our receiving troops were blocked by the Eighth Route Army on the way to retreat, and they desperately broke through before retreating back to eighty-three warriors! The other warriors are all broken, please ask the general to avenge them! ”
"Check, find out right away!" Ono stared at the chief of staff and asked, eager to kill the chief of staff directly with his eyes!
