Chapter 457: Anticlimactic!

Feng Ye watched the attack of the 61st Regiment and the 62nd Regiment on Mopan Mountain, his head shook straight, these two regiments missed the best time to attack, if they could arrive half an hour earlier, the devils had not occupied the high ground on both sides, they had the opportunity to completely annihilate these devils, but the devils occupied the high ground, and then forcibly attacked, then they could only be sent to death.

"Prepare to retreat, if you can't fight it, the devil's support troops will continue to join the battlefield through the avenue, if you don't leave early, I'm afraid you won't be able to go."

Feng put down his sniper rifle and ordered the brethren to prepare to retreat.

"Battalion commander, two main regiments, two squadrons of devils, can't this be defeated?"

The big man Min looked puzzled, in his understanding, ten to one troops, that is, to take a pile of people, you can capture it!

"What kind of equipment do you have? What gear do we have? Not to mention that the devil's plane will come back at any time! ”

Feng Yi sighed and looked at the sky, the devil plane that he feared was nowhere to be seen, and he let out a sigh of relief.

"What? A regiment can't even take the positions of a squadron? ”

Ye Peigao slapped the telegram on the table, his eyes widened, and he looked at Mei Chunhua.

"Commander, the devils occupy the high ground, their firepower is not comparable to us, without artillery support, I'm afraid that our two regiments will all press up, and we can only die with the devils, it's not cost-effective!"

Mei Chunhua sighed, took the telegram and looked at it, and understood the hardships of Long Zuocai and Yin Zuogan.

"What about Feng Yi? Why didn't he hold the high ground? He abandoned his position without authorization, this is disobedience! ”

Ye Peigao was stunned and pointed at Mei Chunhua.

"Commander, the order given to Feng Ye is to stick to the devil, and he is not required to hold that high ground, and Mopan Mountain is still in Feng Yi's hands, he has not left the battlefield, this is not considered disobedience!"

Mei Chunhua is not false, seeing that the battle situation is unfavorable, Ye Peigao wants to find a scapegoat, so it can't be counted on Feng Yi's head, if you want to blame it, you can only blame the devils for coming too fast, and their reaction is too fast.

"Report!"

"Call from the port."

The staff officer ran into the headquarters and handed a telegram to Ye Peigao.

"Bastard!"

Ye Peigao roared angrily, he could already foresee defeat.

Mei Chunhua took the telegram and glanced at it, it was very clear that the two squadrons of the devils kept attacking, and the infantry guns, grenadiers, and light and heavy machine guns attacked together, half of the port had been lost, and the brothers of the 60th and 67th divisions suffered heavy casualties, and they were almost unable to hold on, and less than 20 minutes had just passed.

"Commander, retreat! If we don't withdraw, I'm afraid our losses will be even worse. ”

Mei Chunhua sighed and persuaded Ye Peigao, once the port is lost, a large number of devils will pour into the Mopan Mountain area, and the 31st Brigade will probably have to take it.

"Withdraw? Where to retreat? Now there are six hours left until dark, the devils have trucks, and our troops cannot disengage, and they will suffer heavy losses as well! ”

Ye Peigao stared at Mei Chunhua, the current time is too favorable for the devil, if it is at night, they can quickly hide in the wilderness, but this is daytime, the devil has a plane in the sky and a truck on the ground, how can they run on two legs?

"Let the troops of the 60th and 67th Divisions retreat towards the area around Shijiu Lake, where there are plenty of reeds and should be able to get out of contact; As for the troops of the 31st Brigade, let them withdraw along the Nandu and withdraw into the vicinity of Tianmu Lake. ”

Mei Chunhua looked at the battle map, and now this is their best choice.

"The broken troops must be left behind, otherwise they will not be able to withdraw."

"Send a telegram to the troops in the port and tell them to withdraw."

"Send electricity to the sixty-first and sixty-second regiments, withdraw!"

"Order Feng Yi to stay where he is and hold for at least two hours to buy time for the retreat of the main force."

……

Ye Peigao still adopted Mei Chunhua's suggestion and let the troops retreat, and I am afraid that the entire Suwan detachment will be involved if it is too late.

"Commander, can you change a force after the break, after I let the sixty-first regiment leave a company, Feng Ye has been fighting for most of the day, let them withdraw together!"

Mei Chunhua said anxiously.

"Feng Yi is leading your direct battalion, and its combat effectiveness is stronger than that of other troops, so it's no problem to hold it for two hours, but if you change any company, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold it; Go to herald! ”

Ye Peigao sat down, this time the plan he planned ended in a tigerly way, his lost troops have not yet been counted, according to the current estimate, it should be more than a thousand people, he is now thinking about how to explain to his superiors.

"After three consecutive breaks, the rest of the people, withdraw, withdraw, withdraw......"

Receiving a telegram from the headquarters, the troops of the port could not wait to retreat, leaving the remains of the fallen brothers in the midst of the guns and cannons all over the town, and the officers and the surviving brothers evacuated the battlefield in disarray.

"Kill and give!"

Looking at the troops who were withdrawing from the battlefield, the devil officer roared and increased the intensity of the attack, and soon, the gunfire in the port was small, and half a company's troops could not stop the devil for too long.

"Your Excellency Zhongzuo, the squadron has retreated over there, do you want to chase it?"

A squadron leader pointed in the direction of Shijiu Lake and reported the situation.

"No, quickly support Mopan Mountain, where the guerrillas are the main force."

Officer Nakasa shook his head, he was given the order to encircle and suppress the main force of the guerrillas in the Mopanshan area, the guerrillas here were not strong in combat, and he did not want to waste time.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The engine of the truck sounded, and the mountain artillery and field artillery, with the help of the devil soldiers, were being re-fixed behind the butt of the truck, and the rest of the devil soldiers were not idle, clearing the streets of the port, at least to let the truck pass.

Mopan Mountain, Feng Ye looked at the telegram in his hand, looking a little incredible, why was he broken again? Can't Ye Peigao be replaced by a pit?

"Battalion commander, the troops under the mountain are all from the 31st Brigade, this is for our own brothers, and the brigade commander may not be able to refute it."

Wang Lun pointed to the 61st Regiment and the 62nd Regiment under the mountain, looking a little helpless, they were actually ready to retreat, but now they couldn't go.

"Let the baggage platoon send the wounded soldiers down the mountain, retreat with the sixty-first regiment, and take away the excess supplies; Prepare for battle, the rest of the brethren! ”

Feng Yi sighed, and found that he had no other way than to fight, but fortunately, Mopan Mountain was still the commanding heights nearby, and the devils were not so easy to capture.

"Your Excellency, Captain, the squadron is going to run? Do you want to let the troops go down the mountain to pursue? ”

On the high ground, the devil army Cao reported to Takai and Muchuan.

"Nari?"

The two devil officers held binoculars, the troops under the mountain were indeed retreating, and the troops attacking the mountain were retreating, without the slightest intention of attacking.

"No, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements, this must be a trick of the Chinese, they want us to go down the mountain, you look at Mopan Mountain, the Chinese troops there are not moving, if they want to run, why don't they run together? Stay on standby! ”

The two devil officers shook their heads and gave up the idea of pursuit.
