Chapter 119 Attack Failed
As the old saying goes, Ryuji Ota is considered an experienced officer on the battlefield, and of course he knows the risks of staying here.

As soon as the staff officer's voice fell, he ran towards the rear in a scrambling manner. The two of them had just run more than 100 meters when they heard another violent explosion from behind. The temporary command post had disappeared into the dense smoke.

Ota Ryuji, who was sitting on the ground, looked at the headquarters that had been engulfed by the sea of ​​flames. He was frightened, anxious and angry: "Baga...damn Chinese, where did you get so many shells? You can't even eat Where did the full Chinese get so many shells?"

However, to Ryuji Ota's luck, the Chinese army's artillery fire stopped after this round, and the battlefield fell into a strange silence, which made people who were just used to the roar of shells feel a little uncomfortable.

After calming down, Ota Ryuji said helplessly to the staff: "Ono-kun, you immediately order the third squadron to withdraw, and there is no point in continuing to fight."

The staff officer didn't persuade, just bowed and went down to convey the order.

Soon, the desolate trumpets sounded on the Japanese positions.

At first there was no movement on the ground, but after a while someone began to move slowly, followed by the second and third...

One after another, Japanese soldiers climbed up from their hiding places. Many of them were still shaking when they stood up. These people were all soldiers who survived the shelling just now. Subconsciously stood up and prepared to retreat.

It's just that the attack is simple, but the retreat is not so easy.

Nong Tiancai, the commander of the Fourth Battalion, is also an old fritter who has been in the Jinsui Army for more than ten years. Naturally, he would not miss this opportunity when he saw the Japanese army retreating, and immediately ordered: "The bugler... blow the charge... Everyone with bayonets, charge with me!"

After speaking, he was the first to jump out of the trench and rushed towards the Japanese army with an MP40 submachine gun.

Seeing that their own officers had already rushed up, the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion didn't dare to stay in the trenches. They jumped out of the trenches one after another with rifles with bayonets attached.

"Battalion Commander...you stay here and let me go... I'll fuck..." Before the deputy battalion commander could pull him down, he saw his battalion commander had rushed several meters away, and cursed angrily.

But the man had already run away, and he couldn't come back after chasing him. He could only go to the communication soldier, grabbed the walkie-talkie and yelled, "Firepower company... are you all fucking dead? Didn't you see that the battalion commander had rushed over?" Go out, quickly cover with firepower to prevent enemy reinforcements... If something happens to the battalion commander, I will not spare you!"

The firepower company is a new unit added by Gao Hongming after the expansion of the army. It includes 8 81mm M1 mortars and 4 M30 107mm mortars. It can also launch smoke bombs, flares and even gas bombs.

Soon, more than a dozen mortars fired a barrage in the direction of the Japanese retreat.

More than 600 soldiers from the Fourth Battalion swarmed out, and soon caught up with the Japanese army who was only 300 meters away from them.

There were artillery shells blocking the way, and the soldiers were chasing after them. Seeing that the hopeless Japanese soldiers were desperate, they spontaneously formed groups of two and rushed towards the soldiers of the fourth battalion, but most of them were greeted by the crisp sound of submachine guns.

"Da da da……"

Amid bursts of crisp gunshots, the Japanese army continued to fall, and for a while there was the sound of bayonet collisions, and the crisp gunshots of MP40 submachine guns intertwined.

Facing the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion rushing up one after another, the remaining Japanese army quickly collapsed, like a flat boat in the vast ocean that was quickly submerged in the turbulent waters of Baotao.

After the battle, Nong Tiancai did not dare to let the troops stay on the battlefield, leaving a platoon to continue cleaning the battlefield, and the rest returned to the position immediately.

"Okay...the fourth battalion fought well!"

After Qixia closed the gate, Gao Hongming was very happy to see the whole battle process, and couldn't help but praise him a lot.

"This Nong Tiancai was able to seize the opportunity of the devils to retreat and attack decisively to eat up the devils, which shows that he is very decisive."

Xiao Zhankui had a different opinion, "That's what I said, but I always feel that the old farmer's actions are too risky. Like the attack just now, as long as the Japanese hit with artillery fire, all the 700 people from the Fourth Battalion will have to be accounted for. There."

Wu Chengfeng retorted: "Hey...Old Xiao, your words are too harsh. We have blown up the only four [-] infantry guns the Japanese have, and they only have a few mortars and grenade launchers at best. , does not pose much threat to us."

"There is no absolute, everything is better to be careful."

"The fighter plane is fleeting on the battlefield, so what if we don't seize it as soon as possible?"

"Then you can't gamble with the safety of the entire battalion?"

"War is a gamble, just like pai gow among the people. It's either take-all or take-all. How can there be a business in the world that can make money without losing money?"

The two of them talked and started to quarrel, and Gao Hongming's head got a little big when he heard it, and he said impatiently: "Okay, you two are not too young, why are you arguing all day long? If you continue to quarrel, get out of here, don't stay here Annoying!"

Seeing Gao Hongming getting angry, the two fell silent.

"Come... sit down."

Gao Hongming sat down on a dirt pile, took out a pack of red cigarettes from his pocket, and handed one to each of the two.

Seeing the cigarette Gao Hongming took out, the two of them smiled and took the cigarette, lit it eagerly, and started smoking.

Xiao Zhankui, an old smoker, took a deep breath, his face showing intoxication, "Tuanzuo cigarettes are better, they are fragrant and mellow."

"You got it."

Gao Hongming laughed and said: "You are also battalion commanders anyway. I remember that you have five quotas every month. Why is it not enough for you to draw?"

Wu Chengfeng snorted and said, "If you say that, then send us the one you smoked."

Gao Hongming couldn't help being dumbfounded for a moment.

Both soldiers and officers in the Liantai Militia have a monthly quota of cigarettes. Ordinary soldiers get one pack a week, lieutenants get one pack a day, and school-level officers get five cigarettes a month.

And the cigarettes issued by different ranks are different. Soldiers smoke Camel, lieutenants smoke Marlboro, and school-level officers smoke good luck.

Therefore, some people jokingly say that if you meet people from the Liantai militia, you don’t need to look at their military ranks, you can tell their ranks just by looking at the cigarettes they usually smoke, and it is more accurate than their military ranks, because military ranks can be faked, but cigarettes cannot.

That’s all for Camel and Marlboro, but there are still subdivisions for Lucky Cigarettes.

Lucky cigarettes come in three colors, red, silver and green.

The silver one is mild, and the green one is mint. Colonel officers can choose one of these two cigarettes. As for the red special alcohol type, there is no distribution. Only one person in the group smokes this cigarette. That is their leader Gao Hongming.
