Chapter 1312 Co-captain: Then let’s make another bet

Chapter 1312 Co-captain: Let’s take another gamble (second update)

"What are you still doing?" Duan Peng ordered with a frown.

"Immediately lead the troops to their respective positions... The little Japs are about to run away. We must not let them leave easily. If you can kill one more, kill one more..."

"Let the Kwantung Army have a good taste of the power of our guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare..."

"certainly……"

"If anyone thinks that just injuring a little Japanese is too easy, it is not enough to reflect the combat effectiveness of our Eighth Route Army's northward detachment, and they want to keep all the Kwantung Army in the mountain... I have no objection..."

"But there is a prerequisite!"

"I don't care how you fight, the first thing you have to ensure is the casualties of the troops..."

"Otherwise, no matter how many little devils you kill in the woods, I won't reward you, and I will give you a punishment."

"We have just established a base in the Northeast. We will recruit a steady stream of new soldiers in the base in the future. Every veteran in your hands is the seed for our future expansion of the army. I must protect it."

"Don't expand the troops at that time. We have veterans, and the main company can be expanded into a main battalion immediately."

"I don't have veterans at my disposal, so the main company cannot be expanded into a main battalion... Then I can't help you. After all, I can't conjure veterans out of thin air for you..."

…………

The Kwantung Army commander called the troops together and made the withdrawal order in less than ten minutes of discussion.

Including the three captains, no one had ever fought such a frustrating battle.

The troops were constantly attacked on the march. They wanted to fight back but could not find an opponent, so they could only be beaten passively.

Faced with the heavy casualties of the troops, and the Eighth Route Army's invincible appearance, if they wanted to save the troops, they could not think of any way to break the situation except retreat.

From the moment they received the order to retreat, the Kwantung Army, whose nerves had been tense for several days, instantly relaxed and felt that they had finally saved their lives and no longer had to be as worried as before.

"Clap clap..."

Two crisp rifle shots reached the kid's ears again. A Kwantung Army soldier fell to the ground with a bloody hole in his chest...

The other Kwantung troops around them immediately squatted down, rifles with flat ends, and stared at the surroundings with vigilance...

Unfortunately, apart from the gunshot just now, there was no sound around.

Under the arrangement of the squadron leader, the three soldiers carried the bodies of their killed comrades on stretchers and continued to retreat out of the mountain. However, the relaxed mood in the team became obviously tense.

I thought that when the commander of the regiment issued a retreat order, the troops would no longer pursue the Eighth Route Army, and everyone would be safe...

As a result, there are still various murderous intentions hidden in the surrounding woods.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The sound of heavy machine gun fire mixed with the sound of shell explosions reached the ears of the little devils again, further confirming their bad premonition.

Even in retreat, there are dangers all around them.

The one who reacted the most fiercely was the co-captain.

He decided to withdraw in order to preserve his troops. As a result, the sneak attacks around him that were difficult to guard against did not stop because of his retreat.

Since the sneak attacks continued, why did he retreat? Why not continue to chase the Eighth Route Army? Maybe there would be a chance to kill some of the Eighth Route Army who attacked him.

Now that the troops were attacked during their retreat, those soldiers who were killed died in vain.

"Captain...the forward squadron was once again attacked by the Eighth Route Army's firepower..." The orderly soldier gasped and rushed to the commander to report, not noticing the increasingly gloomy expression on the commander's face.

Continue the report: "The enemy is equipped with four mortars, four heavy machine guns, and at least ten light machine guns. After a sudden round of firepower, they withdrew from the battle under the cover of artillery..."

"The forward squadron was completely unable to counterattack. 48 people were killed and 18 were seriously injured..." "Bagh Yalu..." the commander clenched his fists and cursed through gritted teeth.

"The Eighth Route Army bullied us too much... We all decided to retreat... They are still clinging to us. Do they really plan to leave us in the mountains and gather together to annihilate them... This is too arrogant!"

"Order……"

"The forward troops will retreat immediately... From now on we will no longer send forward troops. The whole army will huddle together and retreat at the same time..."

The chief of staff on the side suddenly said: "If the Eighth Route Army once again gathers heavy troops to attack us with light and heavy firepower...should we send troops to outflank..."

The captain shook his head and refused: "How to outflank..."

"Didn't we do this yesterday? What was the result?"

"Not only failed to kill the Eighth Route Army that sneaked up on us, but the outflanking troops also suffered heavy casualties during the operation..."

"Do you still want to make the same mistake again..."

The chief of staff frowned and asked, "So are we just going to be ambushed by the Eighth Route Army all the way?"

"Even if we decide to evacuate the mountain, we won't be able to really fight out until tomorrow..."

"If the frequency of sneak attacks by the Eighth Route Army does not decrease..."

"According to yesterday's casualty data analysis, we will have to lose at least a thousand people before we can break out of the mountain..."

"Since these casualties are inevitable, it is better to fight with the Eighth Route Army..."

"If we successfully outflank an Eighth Route Army, it will not only deter the Eighth Route Army hiding around us and make them dare not act rashly... it can also take the opportunity to improve the morale of the troops..."

The co-captain was convinced and gritted his teeth and replied: "Then let's fight again..."

"In the previous counterattack, we only sent two squadrons of outflanking troops... This time we sent four infantry squadrons..."

"Two infantry squadrons are outflanking the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack troops in the mountains to fight guerrillas and hold them back..."

"Two squadrons secretly outflanked... formed a larger encirclement around the battlefield, and then slowly narrowed the encirclement, compressed the scope of activities of the Eighth Route Army, and strived to completely wipe out one of their sneak attack troops..."

…………

As the planner of the entire guerrilla war and mobile warfare, Duan Peng has been active on the flanks of the Kwantung Army, adjusting deployment according to battlefield conditions at any time...

At this moment, he was listening to the gunshots coming from the battlefield.

Very happy at first.

The Second Company relied on strong firepower to successfully catch the Kwantung Army by surprise, killing and wounding more than 30 Kwantung Army members...

They originally planned to retreat after a successful attack, but the Kwantung Army actually sent two squadrons to outflank them.

In the eyes of the second company commander, this is simply fat meat that is put on the lips, and if you don't eat it, you won't eat it for free!

Immediately decided to tear off a piece of fat from the Japanese outflanking troops before retreating...

In the end, God played a big joke on him.

As the troops fought more and more vigorously, the fighting became smoother and the results became greater and greater, suddenly a dozen squad leaders appeared behind him and pulled the triggers on the backs of the soldiers!

On the battlefield, the Second Company, which had been victorious in consecutive battles, was able to kill more than a dozen soldiers in an instant.

If the Second Company hadn't been well-equipped and quickly assembled three light machine guns for counterattack, they would have been attacked from both sides and suffered heavy casualties.
