Although the devils are all wearing the uniforms of the Imperial Army, there are some characteristics of the devils.

He is short, and he is very good at fighting bayonets...... A series of characteristics, Zeng Quan can still see at a glance.

The two companies brought by themselves had good combat effectiveness, but to a large extent they relied on strong firepower. As for the individual combat ability of the troops, the marksmanship is a little better. That's when they met a good regimental commander who was willing to give them bullets for training.

But assassination ability is not something that can be trained in a short period of time.

But the devil is different, the recruits who have just been added to the army have been trained for at least a year, and they are definitely not comparable to the independent regiment.

So, although there were only about a hundred Japanese troops on the road, they themselves had almost three hundred. But in the process of fighting with the devils, the troops did not take even the slightest advantage.

Three fighters against one devil, still can't get any bargains.

On the battlefield, almost every Japanese soldier fell and lost his life.

"You can't fight with the devils so desperately, the guards line up and kill these devils with pistols, quickly!" Zeng Quan commanded with a gloomy face.

As soon as the guard platoon left, a cavalryman rushed over.

"The enemy, the chief of staff, there is an enemy rushing here, at least four hundred people, and they can be killed on the battlefield in five minutes at most." As soon as the cavalry jumped off their horses, they panted and reported.

"The devil has such a big appetite!" Zeng Quan's face became even more gloomy.

"More than 100 people dragged us in hand-to-hand combat, and the main force followed closely behind to surround us, flanking us inside and outside, and annihilating us completely, so calculated!"

After scolding, Zeng Quan, who had a gloomy face, made a decisive decision despite his unwillingness: "We can't fight anymore, we can't take advantage of the devil in hand-to-hand combat!" ”

"Trumpeter, blow the trumpet, retreat immediately, get out of contact with the devil, and withdraw from the battlefield immediately!"

"Catch up with the guard platoon, let the guard platoon cover, and if we drag it any longer, we will all die here!"

After the order was given, Zeng Quan breathed a sigh of relief, and then grabbed a communication soldier beside him and continued to order.

"Correspondent, find the regiment commander immediately and inform him to withdraw his troops immediately, tonight's battle is not right, the devil has a conspiracy, go immediately!"

If you suddenly withdraw from the battlefield when hand-to-hand combat is in full swing, for the independent regiment, you will definitely be chased and beaten by the independent regiment when you retreat, and you will pay a lot of price.

However, compared with the arrival of the follow-up troops of the Japanese army, and the two companies were completely annihilated, such losses were acceptable.

After the clarion call for retreat sounded on the battlefield, the soldiers who were concentrating on confronting the devils were obviously stunned, and did not understand why their superiors issued the order to retreat at this time, which was obviously a taboo for soldiers.

The devil did not let go of this opportunity, and stabbed to death dozens of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army with bayonets in a few seconds.

The company platoon commanders scattered in the middle of the team wanted revenge, but the military order was the military order, and in the end he could only grit his teeth and order: "Retreat, alternate cover, retreat immediately!" ”

Although the devils also found out that the Eighth Route Army wanted to slip away, as the masterminds of the whole conspiracy, of course they didn't want to see the fat that had been fed to their mouths slip away like this.

Several squad leaders shouted directly: "Baga, the enemy is going to run, drag them down, reinforcements are coming." ”

"Retreat quickly, alternate cover, separate from the devil, and retreat immediately!" The platoon commander of the Eighth Route Army company on the battlefield followed the order.

One side wanted to retreat, the other side did not want the other side to retreat, and in the process of eliminating the other's strengths, the independent regiment lost a lot of people.

In the end, relying on the large number of people, he was still separated from the devil.

"Shoot, kill them with bullets!" The Japanese officer immediately changed the order!

"Bang Bang!" Soon, a dull sound of gunfire rang out behind everyone.

The last soldier of the two companies kept falling on the retreat road, and they were dying.

Just as the devil, who was getting more and more painful, began to shoot, chasing two companies to shoot, the guard platoon rushed over.

"Machine gun cover, block the devil's pursuers, shoot immediately!" The guard platoon commander ordered with an anxious face, and then raised the pistol and fired, and the pistol in the state of firing was directly used by him as a submachine gun, and in just a few seconds, all twenty bullets flew towards the devil.

Three light machine guns, more than a dozen pistols, plus more than a dozen rifles, fired together, and the fluttering bullets blocked the Japanese pursuers at once.

As soon as the signal troops sent by the former enemy headquarters of the independent regiment rushed in, they panted and reported: "Regiment commander, political commissar, there is an accident at the front. ”

"The chief of staff asked me to report: the devil has a conspiracy, and the troops must withdraw from the battlefield immediately, the sooner the better!"

From the very beginning of tonight's battle, Wang Ping felt that something was wrong.

The Japanese had already lost more than a thousand men to their mistakes last night, and no officer with a modicum of sanity would make the same mistake on the same issue.

And the commander of the Japanese army at the transit station, Kato Daisa, is clearly not an idiot.

Not only is he not stupid, but he is also very shrewd. It is obviously impossible for such a wise opponent to make such a low-level mistake.

Since it is impossible to make mistakes, the success of the battle at the beginning can only be the conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army.

However, because there was no concrete evidence, and the battle was fought so smoothly, it was difficult for Wang Ping to give the order to retreat, which discouraged the enthusiasm of the troops.

Now after hearing the report sent by the chief of staff, Wang Ping, who already felt that something was wrong, no longer hesitated, and directly ordered: "Retreat, notify all battalions and companies, and retreat immediately!" ”

"The cavalry company, the reconnaissance platoon, immediately reconnoiter the entire area of engagement, report the situation immediately, and inform the nearest troops."

"In addition, inform all battalions and companies that they do not need to report when they encounter the enemy, and they can choose whether to fight or withdraw, but they must not fight hard with the enemy!"

Wang Ping's order to retreat was timely, but the other two reinforcements were still late.

Finally, I asked the Japanese army, and the strength of each company's two companies was directly lost.

The headquarters of the independent regiment, looking at the three battalion commanders in front of him who lowered their heads and said nothing, Wang Ping directly smashed his fist on the table in front of him, and then scolded.

"How did you command, didn't you give the order for you to retreat, why are the losses of the troops still so big! I'm going to remove you! ”

"If you don't speak, you are wronged or something. Zhang Yunshan, didn't my order say that you can make a decision when you encounter an enemy, but you can't fight hard? How did you command the troops. For the sake of dozens of devils, lose the lives of dozens of soldiers, this is your clever decision! ”

"Also, who told you that you don't need to send a reconnaissance unit to fight devils and ambush them. If you expand the scope of investigation a little, you won't be able to find out if the main force of the devil touches you! ”

Seeing that the regiment commander was scolding more and more, Cheng Xiao hurriedly comforted: "Regiment commander, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, besides, they have also eliminated a lot of devils. ”

Zeng Quan hurriedly added: "Regiment leader, they are responsible, but they can't be blamed entirely. It's the devil who is too cunning, the two companies I commanded, if it weren't for the larger reconnaissance range, the loss would definitely reach one company, it's really the devil is too cunning! ”
