Chapter 182: Next Step

The battle continued, the casualties on both sides rose directly, Xiao Yu and Yi couldn't do it if they wanted to gather troops, the attack speed of the Eighth Route Army was too fast, and the two sides were already entangled together.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, retreat, it's too late to retreat now!" The adjutant anxiously urged on the side: "Now that we retreat, we can still retain a certain amount of troops, abandon heavy weapons and break through to Baihe County!" ”

"If it continues, the pistol advantage of the Eighth Route Army is too great, and they specially organized pistols to attack the position where we have the advantage of troops!"

Xiao Yu and Yi's face was pale at this time, he knew that he had been defeated, if he continued, although the losses of the Eighth Route Army were also not small, but their 31st Brigade was estimated to be the price of the annihilation of the entire army.

"Retreat!" Finally, he gave the order.

The Japanese began to retreat, and hurriedly felt the pressure lighter, "Use the notice to the regiment commander, don't pursue, send them away with firepower!" ”

Sun Xi hurriedly went to find Li Yunlong, at this time Li Yunlong had a big knife in his hand, and he was covered in blood, "Happy!" ”

"Regiment commander, our company commander said that the enemy began to retreat, do not pursue, send them away with fire!" It was not easy for Sun to find Li Yunlong, and at this time Li Yunlong also felt it.

"Okay, give the order, stop the attack, notify all the artillery fire, send me off the enemy, and immediately organize the rescue of the wounded!" Li Yunlong hurriedly gave an order.

The new regiment did not pursue, and the broken troops of the little devil were bombarded by artillery, and the remnants of the 31st Brigade fled and headed towards Baihe County.

The new regiment began to treat the wounded, that is, the reconnaissance company suffered no casualties, the other three battalions suffered no small losses, and the first battalion suffered the greatest losses.

The battalion commander Zhang Dabiao was all hung up, but the first battalion was the most aggressive, and if it weren't for He Jiaming with the reconnaissance company and the first battalion to support, their casualties would have increased.

There were more than 1,500 casualties in the three battalions, and the total casualties exceeded 700, of which more than 400 soldiers were directly killed.

Almost half of the casualties were killed, and many of them were seriously injured!

Li Yunlong wiped his face, the smoke of gunpowder mixed with blood, "......"

Looking at the battlefield, he was speechless for a long time, and those who were familiar with him knew that he must be distressed!

It's all good, one is braver than the other, it's a pity!

"Commander, it's almost dawn!" He Jiaming walked over and reminded Li Yunlong.

"I know, it's just distressing!" Li Yunlong didn't hide it in front of He Jiaming, "It's all good, but this time we have almost lost a third of our casualties, that is, all technical arms are intact!" ”

Li Yunlong turned his head to look at the enemy's discarded artillery, "What to do with these mountain artillery and field artillery?" ”

The enemy's heavy weapons did not play a role, and the new regiment was still the old one, with a fast pace of combat, turning the battle into a mode that we are good at.

After only ten minutes of shelling, they immediately charged in sheep's suit, forcing the enemy to defend in place as soon as possible.

Then, with preset mines and explosives, mass destruction of the enemy, at the same time, disrupt the enemy's defense, a charge and the enemy close to the hand, and then use the pistol to change the local force ratio.

The reason why the casualties were so large was that the enemy's remnants were more than twice as many as the new regiment, and at the same time, the scope of the battlefield was somewhat large, and the support of the reconnaissance company could not be reached quickly.

This is still He Jiaming's use of the small map, constantly rushing to the enemy's superior position, otherwise the casualties will be even greater.

If the new regiment and the 31st brigade fight to the end, even if they can be eliminated, then the new regiment will lose its combat effectiveness.

"Exploded!" He Jiaming said: "It's too heavy, after dawn, the enemy's bombers will inevitably come back, it is better to leave directly with those Type 92 infantry guns, which is the most suitable for our artillery." ”

"The enemy's strength is still too strong now, but I believe that in a year or two, the balance of strength between the enemy and us will inevitably change dramatically, and now we can only weaken them."

"Makes sense, herald...... Clean up the battlefield immediately, concentrate the mountain artillery and field artillery, pile up the shells together, and let's set a fire in a while! ”

After treating the wounded, the new regiment began to clean up the battlefield, cleaning up and taking its own battle losses as it went, and then retrieved some of the enemy's pack horses and dismantled the captured heavy weapons.

Wang Chengzhu was very happy at this time, his artillery company had a lot of people, but a platoon only had two Type 92 infantry guns, and now it could finally be increased, and if the regiment commander gave him additional personnel, he could even form an artillery battalion.

Wang Chengzhu led the soldiers of the artillery company to begin to disassemble the Type 92 infantry cannon, and then he went to ask for a lot of pack horses, and at the same time let people collect shells.

Li Yunlong and He Jiaming stood together, and there were three other battalion commanders, "Da Biao, are you okay with your injuries?" ”

"It's okay, I was touched by the little devil's bayonet!" Zhang Dabiao said disappreciably: "However, this time our battalion casualties are a bit big!" ”

The mood then fell a lot, anyway, as the battalion commander, he suffered the largest casualties in the whole regiment, and he must be responsible, but he was really brave in battle.

"This is war!" He Jiaming sighed on the side: "It's the first time I've experienced such a tragic battle, and I'm not used to it!" ”

Zhou Weiguo said: "If you have participated in the Battle of Songhu, you will probably get used to it!" ”

Everyone was silent for a while, but Li Yunlong quickly said: "There is no need to be like this, the little devils have suffered greater losses than ours, we have eliminated almost six thousand little devils in total, and this is under the condition of the disparity in the strength of the enemy and us." ”

"This is a huge victory, the little devils who escaped fled in the direction of Baihe County, and the enemy's sweeping troops from all walks of life have already surrounded us, too specific information will not be available now, what should we do next?"

He Jiaming looked at the map, "The enemy's 3rd Mixed Brigade is heading directly towards Lucheng, while our main force is moving towards the Jinzhong area. ”

"In this way, we can't go to the north, we can't go to the east, and the south is the Jincheng area, and there are heavy enemy troops!"

"My opinion is to go west, and then go directly to the Linfen area, and we will take the route of the 31st Brigade!" He Jiaming's finger drew on the map, "It's just that there is the 25th Brigade in this direction." ”

"They should be clearing the railroad at this time, this is our chance, we can move along the main road!"

"After arriving in Linfen, we decided based on the situation that we have enough medicine bottles, and we can move with the wounded!"

"Good way!" Shen Quan shouted.

Li Yunlong also pondered, "However, we have to disguise the main force, and now we are equivalent to jumping out directly!" ”
