Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 779

"What?! This, this is impossible?!" The Japanese lieutenant colonel was stunned when he heard this.

The enemy's appetite is so big that they want to annihilate them all? ! Are those people so powerful? !

"Alas... Although I can't say that I'm 100% sure that my guess is correct, I'm 90% sure that the enemy's purpose is definitely this!" Ichiro Fukagawa sighed. He was unwilling to believe his own judgment.

However, various phenomena indicate that the enemy really has the ability to eat them all in one breath.

"But what if you guessed wrong? Wouldn't that harm the brigade commander? And nearly two thousand soldiers in our regiment would be sacrificed in vain!" The Japanese lieutenant colonel still hoped that the regiment commander could change his mind.

Deep down, he still didn't want to believe that the enemy was so powerful that they actually wanted to annihilate them all!
"If I guess wrong, I will bear all the consequences. I am willing to commit suicide to make up for the mistake I made!" Ichiro Fukagawa spoke directly and made the decision.

If he guessed wrong, Ichiro Fukagawa would be the sinner, not only for letting the enemy go, but also for causing the brigade commander to die.

Then he would have no face to continue living, but if they guessed correctly, they would be able to evacuate the mountains as soon as possible.

"Send a telegram to the commander in the west immediately and ask if they have also been attacked!" Ichiro Fukagawa gave the order after thinking for a while.

Because, if even the soldiers from the west were stopped, it would prove that what he said was true.

The enemy really intends to annihilate them all!

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a telegraph operator came over to report.

"Captain of the Regiment, we received a telegram from the commander in the west, Fujiyama Kinichiro, saying that they were blocked by the enemy and could not immediately support the brigade commander.

Besides, we couldn't get in touch with Yujiutarou, so it's very likely that he was blocked by the enemy!" The telegraph operator spoke very quickly, saying all the contents of the telegram in one breath.

"Baga! Are you sure he sent it like this?!" Upon hearing this, the Japanese lieutenant colonel lost all composure and snatched the telegram to read it.

After reading it, the Japanese lieutenant colonel's face changed drastically. He never expected this would be the outcome. The enemy also blocked the west.

This means that what the wing commander said was correct. If the enemy did not want to wipe them out completely, there was no need to block the enemies from three directions.

"The situation is clear now, let's retreat! Send a telegram to Fujiyama Kinichiro, asking them to withdraw from the mountains as well and stop engaging with the enemy. Otherwise, once the enemy surrounds them, they won't be able to escape!" Fukagawa Ichiro heaved a sigh of relief and immediately ordered the remaining people to retreat and leave the mountains as soon as possible.

Of course, Ichiro Fukagawa did not forget to call on others to retreat together. As for Yukutaro, he wanted to inform him, but Yukutaro was probably in danger.

To be honest, they mobilized 12,000 people, the strength of four regiments, but they didn't expect that they would be the ones to be dealt with in front of the enemy.

Those enemies were really playing the pigs to eat the tiger.

Soon, the remaining Japanese soldiers all began to retreat to the rear.

When Fang Ligong saw this scene, his eyes widened.

"Chief of Staff, is this little Japanese going to run away?! Is this Japanese regiment commander going to not save these Japanese in the mountains?!" The second battalion commander at the side couldn't help but speak up.

They were clearly prepared to face the attack from the remaining Japanese soldiers, but they never expected that the Japanese soldiers would choose to just run away.

"Damn it! Could it be that this Japanese has figured out Captain Mu's plan?!" Fang Ligong thought of this possibility!
"No way?! No matter what, the Japanese will never think that we want to wipe them out completely, right?!" The second battalion commander was stunned for a moment, then said.

He felt that the Japanese should not think in this way. After all, there were more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers entering the mountains. The most the Japanese could think of was that they would break through.

"The Japanese commander we met is not simple. He should know that the Japanese in the other two directions were also ambushed, so he guessed the key to the problem." Fang Ligong thought about it and expressed his guess.

The commander of the group of devils they are facing now is different from the others.

In fact, this matter is not difficult to guess.

After all, they only had a few thousand people, but they dared to divide their troops into four groups, and even forced one of the Japanese to ask for reinforcements. If you think about it carefully, you can find that something is wrong.

"What should we do? Are we just going to watch this group of Japanese escape?!" The second battalion commander was somewhat unwilling. He thought he could hold out until the regiment commander and his team came with support.

I didn’t expect the Japanese to guess all this so quickly and choose to retreat directly. This is too decisive.

Isn't this Japanese commander worried that his own judgment might be wrong, leading to heavy casualties, and letting the enemy escape? !

"Why are you in such a hurry? Don't forget, the New 1st Regiment is still blocking us from behind! Captain Mu's plan won't be broken so easily!" Fang Ligong smiled.

To be honest, if there were no New 1st Regiment, they would have no way to deal with the retreating Japanese and could only watch them escape.

No wonder Captain Mu only said he was 80% sure at first, but when the new regiment arrived, his confidence increased to 90%.

I'm afraid that Captain Mu should be 100% sure of this, but he just doesn't dare to say it too absolutely.

However, the New 1st Regiment is now guarding the Japanese's retreat route, so they don't have to worry about these things at all.

"Yes, how could I have forgotten this? Speaking of which, the combat effectiveness of the New 1st Regiment is indeed stronger than ours. Even if we cannot destroy the retreating devils,
It can also stop the devils and prevent them from escaping. It seems that Captain Mu's plan is indeed flawless.
What on earth is wrong with this guy's brain? How can he consider so many possible things?!" The second battalion commander couldn't help but praise Mu Jinlai as he spoke.

He really admired Mu Jin, he was simply a prophet!
"Mu Jin's ability is indeed ridiculous. Well, let's not talk about this anymore. Now that these devils have retreated, let's transfer the soldiers from the other side of the mountain over to annihilate the devils in the valley first!" Fang Ligong hurriedly gave the order.

In order to deal with the Japanese who might come into the mountain to rescue them, he had people prepare for defense on the other side of the mountain.

Now the Japs are planning to retreat, so they don't need to defend anymore.

Just focus on destroying this group of devils.

"Yes!" The second battalion commander nodded.

At this time, the Japanese soldiers in the valley also changed their faces after they did not see the support from the regiment commander for a long time.

"Major! Why hasn't the regiment commander come to support us yet?" A Japanese captain came to the Japanese major and asked.

They had been fighting for more than ten minutes and suffered heavy casualties, but during that time, the brigade commander only gave them artillery support once, and then there was nothing else.

"I don't know either!" The Japanese lieutenant shook his head. He was confused and couldn't understand why the regiment commander didn't save them! They were trapped in the valley. The enemy had a geographical advantage and their firepower was very strong. In addition, their machine guns couldn't be fired, so they were completely suppressed by the enemy on the mountain.

If they continue like this, it won't be long before they are completely wiped out.

"Major, is the regiment commander going to give up on us? Why?!" the Japanese captain questioned.

He just didn't understand that as long as the captain attacked the enemy from other directions, they could cooperate with the captain and destroy the enemy.

But the captain chose to abandon them.

"Baga! Stop talking! Continue commanding the battle!" The Japanese major cursed and asked the Japanese captain to command the battle.

No matter what the captain's plan is, what they have to do now is to do their best to inflict the greatest casualties on the enemy.

.........

To the west, on a long hillside, Liu Changshun, with a group of soldiers from the 358th Regiment and the special operations battalion, were blocking the advance of the Japanese.

Bang bang bang…

Da da da………

Boom boom boom......

There was constant sound of gunfire in the area, and the Japanese soldiers kept charging towards the hillside where Liu Changshun and his men were, because this was the nearest route to provide support to the east.

As long as they break through the defense line here, the Japanese can reach the east half an hour earlier.

The Japanese command post in the rear.

"Damn! How come this group of enemies are so strong?! There's no way they can break through our defense line!" A Japanese lieutenant colonel cursed angrily. They had organized several charges but were still beaten back by the enemy.

"Yeah, it's hard to imagine how this group of people can be so powerful?! Our artillery positions have also been destroyed by the enemy!" A Japanese major also said.

After encountering the ambush, they immediately ordered their artillery positions to bombard the hillside, but after just a few shots, their artillery positions were blown up by the enemy.

Now they have no artillery to support the charging soldiers, and the key point is that the enemy still has artillery to bombard them.

"Damn it! What on earth do this group of enemies want to do?! Do they really want to wipe out the soldiers on the brigade commander's side and then retreat?! Do they really think they can escape like this?!" Another Japanese lieutenant colonel spoke up. He was so angry that he thought the enemy was looking down on them!
"By the way, Captain, have you contacted Captain Fukagawa?! Speaking of which, Captain Yuku was probably attacked as well, but he shouldn't be the one not to reply, right?!" A Japanese officer looked at the Japanese Captain, Fujiyama Kinichiro, who was sitting in the main seat.

"We don't know the situation yet. I have asked someone to send a telegram to Mr. Fukagawa. There should be news soon." Fujiyama Kinichiro was also a little uneasy.

"Oh...it's really troublesome. We have never encountered such a tricky enemy!" The Japanese lieutenant colonel sighed. It was the first time they encountered an enemy covered with thorns, and they had no way to deal with him.

In other words, for now, they can't do anything to the enemies on the hillside.

Among those enemies, there were many sharpshooters with extremely accurate shooting skills, who specialized in targeting their machine gunners and officers.

Since the battle began, many of their lieutenants, sergeants, and machine gunners have died.

Soon, a Japanese telegraph operator came running in hurriedly.

"Captain, Commander Fukagawa has replied." The Japanese telegraph operator handed the telegram to Fujiyama Kinichiro.

"What?! This is impossible!" After reading it, Fujiyama Kinichiro suddenly stood up, as if he had seen something incredible, which scared everyone.

"Captain, what happened? What did Captain Fukagawa say?" Some Japanese soldiers couldn't help but ask what on earth Ichiro Fukagawa said in the telegram that shocked the commander so much.

“Fukagawa-kun said that the brigade commander and Yukutaro were probably annihilated by the enemy.
The enemy's next target is very likely to be us, he asked us to retreat quickly, otherwise it would be too late! " Fujiyama Kinichiro took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and then spoke out the content.

"What?!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and even suspected that they had heard it wrong.

"Captain, this is impossible, right?!"

"Yes, Commander. It has only been over an hour since the brigade commander sent the telegram for help.

How could the enemy wipe out the brigade commander and his men so quickly, not to mention Yukutaro and his men! "

Everyone started talking about it, and they all said that this was impossible.

The brigade commander and Yukutaro's soldiers together have nearly 8,000 people. How could the enemy achieve all this with such a small number of people?

"Captain, I think Ichiro Fukagawa is just exaggerating. The enemy's goal has always been to break out. How could they possibly think of destroying us? They don't have that strength!" A Japanese lieutenant colonel spoke seriously.

As soon as the words came out, others nodded in agreement.

They all thought that was fine.

When they entered the mountain, they treated this group of enemies as turtles in a jar. Now Ichiro Fukagawa turned around and told them that these were not turtles at all, but big tigers. Who would believe this?

Fujiyama Kinichiro didn't say anything. He listened to what his subordinates said and was thinking in his heart whether what Fukagawa Ichiro said was correct.

In fact, when Yukutaro did not reply to the telegram, which was probably because he was attacked, he felt something was wrong, and now the same thing happened to Ichiro Fukagawa.

Could it be that the enemy's goal was really to annihilate them? !
"Captain, we can't retreat, otherwise, the brigade commander will be in danger, and then we will become sinners!" The Japanese major said when he saw Fujiyama Kinichiro hesitating.

"Yes, Ichiro Fukagawa was too cautious. If he retreated, that was his business. If the enemy escaped, it would be Ichiro Fukagawa who would be blamed.
We will not be punished, so we should break through the enemy's blockade and support the brigade commander as soon as possible!" The Japanese lieutenant colonel also persuaded.

He didn't believe what Ichiro Fukagawa said at all. He thought that Ichiro Fukagawa had always been very cautious and was now frightened by the enemy, and was actually thinking of abandoning the brigade commander and choosing to retreat.

Anyway, the other side can retreat, but they cannot retreat. Otherwise, they will be punished by their superiors like Ichiro Fukagawa.

"What you said makes some sense. Let's do as you say. I don't believe that the enemy has the ability to eat us up!" Fujiyama Kinichiro made the decision.
