Chapter 18: The Great Humiliation of the 358th Regiment

Chu Yunfei used a high-precision telescope to observe the enemy situation in front of him for a while, his brows furrowed, and the "Sichuan character marks" became deeper and deeper.

"It seems that on the other side is at least the strength of a brigade of devils. The firepower is fierce, and it does not charge blindly, and the bullet hit rate is also very high. It should be a well-trained unit. Brother Meritorious Service, go and find out to me what the name of this enemy is. ”

Fang Ligong pushed his glasses, "Yu Tuanza, according to the report from the forward sentry, this enemy is the famous Sakata Wing in the Japanese army. ”

"Sakata United?"

"Exactly."

"Could it be the Sakata Wing that defeated two divisions of our army last time?"

"Absolutely."

The notorious son of the Bantian Wing, as the colonel and head of the Jin Sui Army, Chu Yunfei has naturally heard of it for a long time.

However, at this moment, Chu Yunfei's facial expression was very heavy, and his brows were squeezed and deformed. At first, I thought this enemy was a small force, but at present, the actual situation has far exceeded my own understanding.

At this time, a soldier ran all the way, ran in front of Chu Yunfei, gave a military salute and said:

"Report to the regimental seat, large groups of enemies have been found on both sides of us. The second and third battalions had already exchanged fire with them. ”

"Is it the Japanese army?"

"Report to the regiment, it's the Japanese army."

Chu Yunfei's heart tightened. As expected, there were also enemies attacking him on both sides. Fortunately, I had already arranged it.

"Sakata, this madman, seems to want to eat my 358 regiment in one bite."

Chu Yunfei spread out the map and said.

"Tuanza, the Sakata Wing has always been fierce in combat, and as soon as they fight, they want to eat our entire regiment in one bite."

"yes. This kind of thing can only be done by a madman like Sakata. ”

"This old devil has too much appetite. swallow my three-five-eight regiment, and he is not afraid to kill his stomach. ”

Chu Yunfei smashed his fist on the map, his facial expression was very complicated, and his heart was also in a dilemma.

On the opposite side was the powerful Sakata United, with more than 3,000 people. According to the usual, this number of devils needs at least 10,000 troops to be able to fight with them. He only has more than 5,000 troops at his disposal, and if he engages them in an all-out battle, it will be difficult to win.

If it doesn't fight, the front line and the troops on both flanks are stuck with it. If you want to get out, you have to abandon these fighters. The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and it hurts to rub a little skin, let alone cut the meat! Even if you want to withdraw your legs, according to the combat style of the Sakata United in the past, you will definitely not give up.

In addition, retreating as soon as the battle began, he was a little afraid of the enemy, which damaged his reputation and even more damaged the morale of the 358th Regiment.

"Tuanza, let's leave. Judging from our current strength, it is definitely not the opponent of Sakata United. ”

"Fart!"

The arrogant Chu Yunfei rejected Fang Ligong's idea.

"Tuanza, you have to think about our five thousand brothers. In the last Battle of Shinkou, this Sakata Wing inflicted heavy losses on two divisions of our army. That's twenty or thirty thousand people, and they didn't get a bargain in their hands. ”

Chu Yunfei turned around and looked at the frontline troops who were fighting fiercely not far away. The sound of artillery continued to sound, and the fighting continued to continue. If this battle continues, there will only be more dead and wounded.

At this time, a staff officer also said, "Tuanza, while the current situation is still favorable to our army, let's withdraw first." ”

Chu Yunfei was a little shaken.

I can't take the lives of thousands of brothers for the sake of a momentary moment.

"Retreat. The brothers at the front have already suffered many casualties, and if they continue to fight, they will only increase. ”

Chu Yunfei sighed helplessly, "Order, the troops will retreat on all fronts and get rid of the Bantian Wing as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, Danza."

"The group is wise."

Suddenly, many staff officers began to pat Chu Yunfei's ass. They knew that the Japanese army in front of them was the Sakatian Wing with strong combat effectiveness, and if Chu Yunfei ordered it to fight, in less than five hours, the entire 358th Regiment would have to be buried in this unknown barren mountain, and they would not be able to escape this fate.

Persuading Chu Yunfei to retreat is actually a means of self-protection.

Chu Yunfei sighed deeply, with a helpless look on his face. In desperation, Chu Yunfei was a little ashamed.

When encountering the Sakata United, before they could fight with them on a large scale, they ordered a retreat. This is really insulting to the integrity of a soldier.

But this is also a helpless solution, after all, the quality of the soldiers of the 358th Regiment and the weapons and equipment are not far behind the Sakata Wing.

Secondly, he was also unprepared to encounter a mountain battle with Sakata United. In the sudden battle, not only did the soldiers look confused, but he, the supreme military commander, had no good way for a while.

If it did not retreat in time, the 358th Regiment would inevitably end up with the two divisions in Xinkou.

On the way to retreat, Chu Yunfei thought in his heart that he had withdrawn his legs, but he still felt that it was not a taste, a great shame for the soldiers.

Chu Yunfei gritted his teeth and said with extreme resentment: "Bantian United's revenge, I, Chu Yunfei, have to avenge it." ”

Fang Ligong said: "Tuanzuo, as the old saying goes, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. The shame that the Sakata United has caused us, we can make careful arrangements in the future and start a full-scale battle with real swords and guns. ”

"Brother meritorious service, these words have gone to Lao Tzu's heart. If this revenge is not avenged, I Chu Yunfei can't swallow this breath. ”

After Chu Yunfei gave the order, the 358th Regiment quickly withdrew from the fighting mountainous area. It was precisely because of the encounter that the troops did not spread out at all, and most of the fighters did not fight with the Sakata United, and it was easier to retreat.

After a two-hour rapid march, Chu Yunfei led the 358th Regiment to successfully get rid of the bite of the wild dog of the Bantian United.

After arriving at a safe area and resting for a while, Chu Yunfei ordered Fang Ligong to check the casualties of each battalion, company and platoon.

After a while, Fang Ligong returned.

"The first battalion suffered the most serious casualties, about 100 people killed and more than 50 wounded. More than 50 people in the 2nd and 3rd battalions were killed and more than 90 were wounded. ”

When Chu Yunfei heard this, his face sank, and he couldn't believe it in his heart.

"It is really a great shame for my 358th Regiment, from the time I heard the gunshots to the time I gave the order to retreat less than an hour, there were more than 300 casualties."

"Tuanza, because the Sakata Wing bit too tightly, all the troops responsible for the broken rear were killed. That's why there are so many casualties. Fang Ligong further explained.

"Remember to Lao Tzu, this revenge, I Chu Yunfei must be avenged."

"Also, take care of the wounded. After returning to the regimental headquarters, even the officers above wrote me a battle report summarizing the battle. ”

Chu Yunfei's facial expression was already extremely angry at this time.

"Yes, Danza."
