In less than a day, the Japanese puppet army, covered by aircraft and artillery, broke through the six lines of defense of the independent regiment in a row.

Of the six infantry companies of more than 100 people, two infantry companies were wiped out directly, and one or two infantry squads remained in two infantry companies, and the best situation was one company. Because he was guarding the first line of defense into the mountain, he was not bombed by the devil air force, and there was still one platoon of troops left.

At the headquarters of the independent regiment, the atmosphere was unprecedentedly depressing. It was as if the end of the world was coming, and everyone was in despair.

Chief of Staff Zeng Quan, with a sad and indignant face, stood in front of the map to report the day's battle damage.

"The regiment commander, the political commissar, attacked today, and the devils used poison gas bombs in addition to aircraft and artillery support. The first battalion and two companies, the second battalion and three companies, and the two companies defended the positions that the devils had brought down with poison gas bombs. Otherwise, it would be impossible for two companies to not even leave a single wounded man! ”

"Gas bombs!" Hearing these three words, Wang Ping's clenched fist directly slammed on the table in front of him out of anger, and then scolded loudly.

"We must take revenge on the devils and avenge the sacrificed soldiers!"

"Political commissar, chief of staff, keep fighting hard, and at the latest tomorrow at noon, our last battalion will be killed by devils. When the time comes, our independent regiment will be finished. ”

"So I decided to attack the Japanese puppet army outside at night tonight, find a way to inflict heavy damage on them, and force them to retreat!"

Cheng Xiao looked incredulous and asked, "How can you hit it hard!" Now the whole regiment has more than one battalion of troops left, and even a regiment of the Imperial Allied Army can't compare! ”

"In order to leave a little seed for our independent regiment, so that it can be re-formed in the future. I contacted the rest of the regiment, in company units, with the wounded and enough food, and dispersed into the surrounding woods. As for the family business here, don't want it. Knowing that the people of my independent regiment are still there, this family business will be earned back sooner or later! ”

"I agree with the political commissar, disperse the breakout transfer!" Chief of Staff Zeng Quanquan immediately supported.

The shock brought by the casualties of one day to Zeng Quan was too great, and if it continued like this, the independent regiment would really be wiped out here.

As the chief of staff of the Independent Regiment, Zeng Quan was not afraid of sacrifice, but he couldn't accept the annihilation of the entire Independent Regiment he formed.

Three people and two people chose to retreat, not surprisingly, this should be the next path for the independent regiment.

However, Wang Ping was very unwilling, and the main reason was that the devil actually used poison gas bombs on the battlefield, which directly led to the annihilation of the two infantry companies.

In the end, Wang Ping agreed to the political commissar's suggestion to disperse and retreat.

Just when Cheng Xiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Wang Ping's words suddenly changed and continued: "But the retreat time should be set at two o'clock in the middle of the night, and before two o'clock, I will lead the troops to fight devils for a surprise attack." If the raid is successful, we don't have to disperse the breakout. If the raid is unsuccessful, it's never too late! ”

"The political commissar stays, the chief of staff assists, and arranges the scattered retreat, we must plan the breakthrough route of each company, and the specific amount of materials and equipment to carry must also be counted, and the mules and horses and horses of the logistics department are all scattered to each company to carry supplies!"

"I took the guard company, the heavy machine gun company, the mortar company, the mountain artillery company, the cavalry company, plus three battalions and one company, and the reconnaissance platoon, and set off in an hour. If the raid is unsuccessful, you will definitely be back before two o'clock in the morning. ”

Under the cover of night, more than 500 people walked through the middle of the forest, without attracting too many people's attention.

Less than half an hour after leaving the station, Wang Ping called Zhong Yusheng over.

"Company Commander Zhong, do you remember the batch of shells I asked you to hide? Take it all out for me and take it away. Today, the devils used poison gas bombs on us, and the two companies were completely wiped out. Tonight we'll give the little devils a taste of the power of gas bombs! ”

Zhong Yusheng has always followed Wang Ping, and he is the commander of the guard company, so he has always trusted Wang Ping unconditionally.

But on this matter, Zhong Yusheng hesitated.

"The regiment commander thinks twice, hitting devils with poison gas bombs, this is a violation of discipline, if you let the above know, it is possible to shoot you!"

"I'm going to shoot it, I'll do it immediately, and if something happens, it's mine!"

"Little devils can use gas bombs on the battlefield, why can't we use them. Of course, if the whole thing can be kept secret, it will be kept secret, and the above really knew about it and pushed it to the devils, saying that we accidentally detonated the gas bombs equipped by the devils when we shelled the devil's station! ”

Speaking of this, Wang Ping continued: "Do you want to watch our soldiers annihilate and die in agony under the attack of poison gas bombs. And the devils who used poison gas bombs were in the smoke outside the mountains, and they were not punished at all! "Pull it back

"I can't do it anyway, if I don't retaliate, I won't be able to face those sacrificed comrades on the battlefield!"

Thinking of the tragedy on the battlefield after being attacked by poison gas bombs for 100 days, Zhong Yusheng's anger also rose up. Clench your fists and answer out loud.

"Regiment commander, I listen to you, let's go pull the shell!"

"Be careful with secrecy!" Wang Ping was very satisfied with Zhong Yusheng's answer.

"The gas bombs were pulled and sent directly to the mountain artillery company, leaving a platoon to guard them. After receiving my order, quickly shoot out the shells, and then burn all the remaining ammunition boxes and other stuff of the gas bombs, leaving no evidence to the enemy that we used gas bombs! ”

Zhong Yusheng replied with a serious face: "Commander, I understand. ”

Along the way, I walked through mountains and forests, and walked for almost three hours before I reached the vicinity of the Japanese puppet army station.

Chen Hu, the commander of the reconnaissance platoon, Chen Hu walked directly to Wang Ping's side and reported: "Regiment commander, the enemy's situation has not been investigated much. ”

"In a day's battle, the devils suffered almost no losses, and the Imperial Allied Army lost one and a half regiments. At present, there are still more than 2,000 devils and more than 2,000 imperial troops in the Japanese puppet army. However, their equipment was very good, there were more than twenty field guns in the mountains alone, and there were two heavy guns specially designed to deal with our machine gun bunkers. As for mortars, then needless to say, forty or fifty are definitely there. ”

Wang Ping quickly made a decision: "All the artillery will set up the artillery, especially the mountain artillery company, and all aim at the Japanese puppet army station!" ”

"The guard company, as the first wave of attacking troops, after the artillery bombardment, first launched an attack on the Japanese puppet army station, three battalions and one company, and the cavalry company followed closely behind to launch an assault, killing as many devils as you can!"

Although everyone did not have any hope for this so-called night raid, the confidence on Wang Ping's face made everyone feel a lot less worried.

After everyone left, Wang Ping specially left Zhong Yusheng behind.

"Regiment commander, I left a platoon of the guard company in the artillery company, and the platoon is full of veterans, absolutely trustworthy!"

Wang Ping nodded and replied: "I don't have to worry about you doing things!" I've heard all the orders I just made. When it comes to assault, your guard company is the first wave of assault troops, and the smallest is to enter the Japanese puppet army station. I'll put all the gas bombs in the shelling for a while, so the guard company must have gas masks ready. I remember that the guard company was the first in the regiment to be equipped with gas masks, so I guess they all brought them! ”

"Bring them all, since yesterday when the devils used gas bombs, the regiment gave an order that everyone should bring gas masks. Bring a towel and a jug of water without a gas mask! ”
