"Sir, the Eighth Route Army that wants to break through has been blocked by us at the foot of the mountain, and there are troops of the imperial army in several directions, do you want to contact the defenders of the stronghold, let's attack together and annihilate them!" Looking at the fireballs constantly rising at the foot of the mountain, and even the panicked figure of the Eighth Route Army in the shelling, the adjutant couldn't help but propose, looking fanatical.

Surprisingly, the squadron leader, who had always been ambitious and looked down on the Chinese army, actually refused.

"Baga, have you forgotten the orders of the team commander and the brigade headquarters?"

"Also, if these Eighth Route Army were really so easy to destroy, they would have been killed by us a month ago, and it would be impossible to wait until now. Don't look at them now surrounded by us, but you forgot the old saying of the Chinese, rabbits will bite people when they are pressed, not to mention that they are still well-equipped and combat-ready Eighth Route Army troops. ”

"How many Imperial Soldiers do you want us to pay for to destroy them? One squad, two squads, or even an entire infantry squadron? ”

After a series of rhetorical questions, although the adjutant was unwilling, he could only obediently shut his mouth.

In fact, the squadron leader didn't want to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity more than anyone else.

In his opinion, the imperial army attacked from three sides, and it was a condescending attack, and it would definitely be able to wipe out the new group at the foot of the mountain.

But he didn't dare, as a squadron leader, although he was not a senior officer of the brigade regiment, but because he had a good relationship with the brigade commander, he heard the above ideas, especially the ideas of the brigade commander, from the mouth of the brigade commander.

The reason why the remnants of the new regiment, which had reached the end of their rope, were able to rise again under heavy encirclement and suppression, the brigade commander, Major General Matsumoto, summed up several very important reasons.

The two most important of these are that the imperial army is too light on the enemy, and the imperial army is too impulsive.

The light enemy is easy to explain, and the impulse is a bit intriguing.

Major General Matsumoto's explanation to everyone is that in several battles with the new regiment in a row, the new regiment showed the role of a hunter, while the imperial army was the role of the prey, completely reversed.

The imperial army, which became the prey, was impulsive in every battle, taking the initiative to attack, taking the initiative to attack, or taking the initiative to encircle and suppress..... Create a lookout fighter for a new group of hunters.

At this time, the hunters are quietly lurking around, and as soon as the imperial army shows the slightest flaw on the battlefield, they will pounce, bite hard, and then quickly retreat......

Since neither impulsive nor active attacks can take out the new regiment, and it will also lose troops. Major General Matsumoto's first thought was to change the way, to use static braking, to be the hunter himself, and to let the remnants of the new regiment be the prey.

In the order to several brigade commanders, specifically requested, in the face of the battle of the new regiment. Unless you are absolutely sure, you must not take the initiative.

No one can guarantee that once the Imperial Army strikes, the roles of hunters and prey on the battlefield will change again.

In the battle that lasted for more than half a month, this kind of thing happened too much, and Major General Matsumoto could not be careless.

In particular, after confirming the news that the new regiment's garrison in Daisanri had been destroyed by the air force, Matsumoto issued a strict order to the garrison of the blockade line: no one and no unit should take the initiative to fight the remnants of the new regiment. The various units strictly guarded the defensive line, blocking the remnants of the new regiment in the mountains, and leaving the remnants of the new regiment to fend for themselves in the mountains.

It was for these reasons that the squadron leader suppressed the impulse in his heart.

Of course, not taking the initiative to attack does not mean that the Eighth Route Army cannot be attacked from a distance.

As soon as the conversation changed, he immediately ordered: "All troops immediately turn to the defense, block the troops of the Eighth Route Army who want to go out of the mountain, and drive them back." The artillery units opened fire with all their might, blowing them up with shells! ”

Wang Ping was surprised, hid in the trenches, raised his pistol, and did not wait for the devils to attack for half a day.

"Commander, what are the devils doing, why don't you attack? Do they still have reinforcements? Hong Ruijun next to him asked nervously and happily,

Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "I don't know what the specific reason is?" ”

Then he changed his words and continued: "However, if this stalemate continues, it is impossible for the three shelves in a row to rush through under the noses of the devils. And the devil's artillery is more powerful than ours, and the three mortars of the artillery platoon will definitely not be able to hold it for too long. ”

This is what the leader of the devil squadron did not expect, although his playing style is very aggrieved, but it forced Wang Ping to advance and retreat, and there was no solution.

At this moment, Wang Ping clearly felt that the counterattack of the artillery company had weakened.

It took a long time for one or two shells to pass over everyone's heads and smash into the devil's artillery position.

Not only that, but the devil artillery seems to be confident in cleaning up the artillery battery. The only three mortars fired at the artillery company, and one mortar fired at the guard company.

Not only that, but the sound of intensive machine-gun fire sounded without warning from the daily average position on ......the opposite side.

As soon as Wang Ping's brows furrowed, he saw dozens of devil soldiers rushing out of the position.

These devils rushed out, without exception, either carrying grenadiers or carrying bags full of grenades.

Fifty meters forward, they set up grenadiers under the cover of a large number of light and heavy machine guns behind them. Nine grenadiers were slipped away, ready for the grenadiers to join the long-range fire strike against the guard company.

Hong Ruijun looked nervously at the daily moves in front of the position, and was just about to ask the regiment commander if he was counterattacking, Wang Ping had already spoken, and his tone was full of helplessness and unwillingness.

"Retreat, everyone withdraw from the battlefield and retreat into the woods!"

"Commander, didn't cover them and rushed out?" Hong Ruijun asked as if he had misheard, staring at Wang Ping.

"How?" Wang Ping shook his head and asked, and then explained helplessly.

"The devils are staring at us without moving, all the light and heavy machine guns are pointed at us, as long as we move, no matter who it is, we will be beaten into a sieve in an instant. If the devils take the initiative to attack us, we can still take advantage of the chaos of the battlefield and let them rush through the clearing and into the bushes with the devils when they repel the devils! ”

"The devil is too cautious, he must have been scared by us in front of him, and as a last resort, he will definitely replenish it and fight with us."

"Order the troops to retreat immediately along the communication trenches. As for how to get out, I'll think of other ways. ”

Hong Ruijun was very unwilling, and retreating now meant that the guards even died in vain for more than 20 soldiers who had just been killed.

Such a blow would be absolutely devastating for a newly formed force.

After returning home, the morale of the guard company will definitely be reduced to a minimum.

However, what the regiment commander said was the truth, and no matter how unwilling he was, he could only obey orders.
