War of Resistance

Chapter 1053 Retreat
The beam of fireworks lit up in the sky not only pointed out the direction for Matsuura Junrokuro and others to break out of the siege, but also pointed out the direction for the chasing officers and soldiers of the first guard regiment.

"Go, chase in the direction where the flares are rising!" Liu Houming said harshly.

"Yes! Sir!" The officers and soldiers nearby responded one after another, and then picked up their guns and chased after that place.

……

The officers and soldiers of the special agent company are pursuing, but what is Zhang Tianhai doing?
What Zhang Tianhai had to do was also very simple, and that was to clean up the battlefield.

Well, of course, Zhang Tianhai's "cleaning the battlefield" was targeted. Apart from burying the fallen national army officers and soldiers, it was more about searching for spoils.

When Zhang Tianhai saw that flare soaring into the sky, Zhang Tianhai froze for a moment, and said softly: "It seems that the reinforcements from Little Japan have already arrived...notify the troops, and it must be completed before four o'clock." mission, and then the army retreats!"

"Yes! Tuan Zuo!" Xu Xun beside him responded.

For these people, they have long been accustomed to obeying the orders of the Tuan Zuo as their bounden duty.

"Time is running out..." Zhang Tianhai murmured, this time, although there was a big victory, his troops also suffered heavy losses. This was the heaviest casualty since the establishment of the first guard regiment.

Finally, Zhang Tianhai suddenly remembered a unit, that is, the independent brigade living in Lushan Mountain.

"You, come here, and immediately notify Deputy Commander Guo, and ask him to call the Independent Brigade to tell Captain Xu Feilong that the main force of our troops is about to leave Jiangxi territory, please get ready!" Zhang Tianhai casually pointed to an officer, Then a combat order was issued.

"Yes!" The officer responded.

……

As time passed bit by bit, the officers and soldiers of the secret service company did not relax their pursuit of Matsuura Junrokuro, and what they received was the company commander's death order.

At the same time, Liu Houming, as the company commander, is also very aware of the significance of Matsuura Junrokuro himself to the entire battle. If Matsuura Junrokuro can be killed, it will be a perfect ending for the entire Wanjialing campaign!

On the other hand, if Matsuura Junrokuro were allowed to escape, then the entire Wanjialing campaign would still have a flaw after so many lives were sacrificed.

Therefore, it is impossible for Liu Houming to let Matsuura Junrokuro escape so smoothly, even if he cannot be killed, he must be wounded.

As for Liu Houming himself, he thinks that he has the most elite company in the national army. He must let the reputation of the spy company be amplified and let the people of the whole country know that there is such an elite company. The troops are still fighting!

The flares of the Japanese army went out not long after, but at this moment, the second flare rose into the sky again, as if to illuminate everything in the dark night.

However, this time, Matsuura Junrokuro was not so lucky. The moment he and his assistant stepped out of the dense forest, several bullets flew towards him.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

About a dozen gunshots sounded, and more than a dozen bullets passed through the air, and then ruthlessly hit Matsuura Junrokuro and his assistant officer.

However, not all the bullets hit.

Nearly half of the bullets lost their aim due to insufficient brightness, and most of the rest also flew to the Japanese officer. Only three bullets hit Junrokuro Matsuura.

One hit the leg, one hit the arm, and one hit the waist.

……

After seeing both of them fell to the ground, Liu Houming ordered the officers and soldiers of the secret service company to retreat immediately in order to reduce the casualties of the troops and avoid entanglement with the Japanese reinforcements.

Looking at the Japanese army again, they threw two flares, isn't the purpose just to welcome the commander of the Matsuura Junrokuro division?So when they saw the two running Japanese soldiers, they immediately chose to greet them.

However, what they never expected was that just as their men set off, gunshots rang out in the forest, knocking the object they were going to meet to the ground.

"Alert!! Alert!!! Counterattack immediately!!" Ito Lanshaku shouted, and at the same time his expression was very flustered. He had a hunch that among the two people who were hit was the commander of Matsuura Junrokuro !

"Hay!!"

What responded to Ito Lanchi was the immediate counterattack of these men, and at the same time, some soldiers with quick eyesight and quick hands had already rescued the two of them.

"There is still help here!" A Japanese soldier said to the comrades beside him, because he was pulling Matsuura Junrokuro!
"There is no hope here, he was hit in the head!" Another Japanese soldier responded.

"Help me, I'm Matsuura Junrokuro! Save me now!" After being shot, Matsuura Junrokuro fell into a coma to a certain extent. He woke up at the most critical moment, which can be regarded as a temporary rescue. dead.

"Doctor! Doctor!!" The Japanese soldiers in front began to shout crazily, because they had already rescued the target they wanted to rescue.

After hearing the shout ahead, Ito Lansha also hurried up. At this time, he could not care that there might be enemy troops ambushing in the dense forest. He had to go up to check the situation immediately—otherwise, if Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura If he died in battle, he must be responsible.

After confirming his identity, Lanchi Ito also began to direct the personnel to rescue Matsuura Junrokuro.

But at this time, Liu Houming led his troops to wave his sleeves without taking away a single cloud.

Zhang Tianhai, who is far away on the top of Zhanggu Mountain, has already commanded the troops to recover a lot of Zhongzheng rifles. Of course, he did not refuse those intact [-] big covers, and just loaded the guns back one by one.

Apart from Zhang Tianhai's troops, other troops also joined in this operation of recovering equipment, and their actions were not generally quick.

Finally, before four o'clock in the morning, the first regiment of the guards completed the task of cleaning the battlefield and began to retreat to Yueyang in northern Hunan.

Because, the order they received was to go to Yueyang City to make repairs!

Looking at the exhausted troops on horseback, Zhang Tianhai took a deep breath: "This battle is finally over, go back and rest well, and then fight the next battle!"

"Old Zhang, I didn't expect you to be so sad? This is not the style you should have!" Guo Qiliang next to him joked.

He should have been happy after winning the battle, but Zhang Tianhai couldn't be happy at all - because after this battle, in the Battle of Wuhan, the national army was about to go downhill, and even lost Wuhan!
