Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

At this time, Ichiro Fukagawa had already led his troops to retreat. He didn't dare to hang around any longer. If he guessed correctly, the enemy might have already eliminated the brigade commander and was leading his troops towards him.

However, what Ichiro Fukagawa did not expect was that they were ambushed when they retreated less than five miles.

Boom boom boom......

Dozens of landmines were detonated by the Japanese soldiers, and many of them were killed on the spot.

Bang bang bang…………

Da da da………

On the mountains on both sides about a hundred meters away from here, many soldiers from the New 1st Regiment appeared and attacked with guns.

"Damn it, these Japs finally come." In the trench on the mountain, Zhang Dabiao had a smile on his face.

As soon as he led the team here, he dug trenches here, because he felt that if the Japanese broke through from Fang Ligong's side, they would definitely run here!
Sure enough, he blocked it.

Seeing this scene, Ichiro Fukagawa's face changed drastically.

"Baga! This is impossible!" Ichiro Fukagawa couldn't help but curse. How could the enemy catch up so quickly?

According to their current distance, even if the enemy eliminated the people on the brigade commander's side within ten or twenty minutes after the brigade commander sent the telegram for help, it would be impossible for them to get here in such a short time!
"Captain, what is going on?!" The Japanese lieutenant colonel was also panicking at this moment. He had previously felt that retreating like this was not appropriate. Now, he only regretted not retreating earlier.

"Something is wrong. The enemy can't possibly arrive so quickly, unless they have external reinforcements. Since we entered the mountain, their external reinforcements have already started to enter the mountain.

The purpose is to stop us and prevent us from escaping!" Ichiro Fukagawa immediately thought of the key.

Why do they think that there are only a few thousand enemies in the mountains?

It now seems that the enemy had made plans long ago, and there might be enemy reinforcements in other directions to surround them. As long as they retreat, they will be held back by the people behind them.

"What?!" The Japanese lieutenant colonel was completely stunned. This meant that the enemy's attack on Linyin County was intentional.

The purpose is to tell them that these people are in the mountains and lure them over.

Or, it could be that the other side had already made various preparations when they started the attack here, and letting them enter the mountains was a trap set by the enemy commander long ago.

"This commander is so terrible. He has been plotting against us from the very beginning and tricked us!" Ichiro Fukagawa felt his scalp tingling. It was the first time he was plotted against like this.

"Captain, what should we do then?!" the Japanese lieutenant colonel asked hurriedly.

"Retreat, break out of this place and occupy the hill about a few hundred meters behind. We will hold the mountain!" Ichiro Fukagawa made the decision.

It is basically impossible to break through to the front now. The only way is to run back, occupy some mountains, and use the geographical advantage to kill the enemy to a greater extent.

"Captain, shouldn't we break out to the front? Why are we running backwards? Aren't we seeking death?" the Japanese lieutenant colonel asked in confusion after hearing this.

Shouldn't they break out as quickly as possible now and escape before the enemy's support arrives?

"That commander has already made all the plans. What we are doing now is just part of his plan.

There is no way to escape this ambush by breaking forward, so the only option now is to run backwards.

We are already at a dead end, so we should do our best to kill the enemy's manpower!" Ichiro Fukagawa explained.

At this position, if they run forward, there will be more enemies blocking their way, so they can only retreat.

"I understand!" The Japanese lieutenant colonel nodded, and then immediately ordered all soldiers to retreat.

Bang bang bang…

Da da da………

The soldiers of the New 1st Regiment on the mountain continued to fire continuously, and from time to time some Japanese soldiers were shot and fell to the ground.

Of course, the Japanese’s fighting power was not to be underestimated. Many soldiers of the New 1st Regiment unfortunately died during the battle.

"Damn it, why didn't the Japs run forward?!" the deputy battalion commander couldn't help but say when he saw this.

Normally, the Japs should have tried their best to break out from the front, but now all the Japs were retreating to the rear.

This is not what they planned!

"Damn it, the Japanese commander is not simple. He probably realized that it would be impossible to break out in a short time by moving forward.
By then they will be destroyed by the people who come to support them.
Therefore, the Japs are planning to retreat from the rear, occupy the nearest mountain, and hold on to it, causing greater casualties to us! "Zhang Dabiao realized this immediately.

"I didn't expect that I really underestimated the Japs. In this situation, you can still have such a clear mind!" The deputy battalion commander had a serious expression.

If it were anyone else, they would probably just rush forward and escape.

Unexpectedly, this group of devils actually has such a clear-headed commander.

"Don't panic, everything is within my expectations!" Zhang Dabiao suddenly smiled.

"Huh?! Battalion commander, when did you make preparations?! Wait a minute, you have withdrawn a company of troops before, could it be that they are going to the nearest mountain in the rear?!" The deputy battalion commander was talking and suddenly reacted.

When digging trenches on the mountain, Zhang Dabiao deliberately ordered a company of more than 120 soldiers to leave. Among them, there were still 30 soldiers from the Grey Wolf Squad. Zhang Dabiao kept it a secret with him at that time.

It turns out that the plan had been made long ago!

"Smart, that's it!" Zhang Dabiao praised.

In fact, he also thought, if the devils hadn't broken through, where would they have gone? !
So he thought about it from another perspective. If he were the Japanese commander, he would realize that if he broke out, he would die faster.

But if you break out, you won’t die so quickly.

However, he was not so sure. He still had to keep the men at the front. What if the Japanese did not think so much? Wouldn't he be able to break through from his side?

Now it seems that he was right. There are smart people among the Japanese.

"Battalion Commander, I didn't expect you to be so good at fighting now, awesome!" The deputy battalion commander gave Zhang Dabiao a thumbs up and praised him.

"Having worked with Li Jin for so many times, I have naturally learned some of his combat methods!" Zhang Dabiao smiled.

No matter what, he often fought with Li Jin. If he didn't learn anything, he would probably be laughed to death by others.

Bang bang bang…

Da da da………

The Japanese retreated while fighting, and Ichiro Fukagawa was protected by many Japanese soldiers.

This scene was also seen by a company commander on the mountain.

"Damn it, that's definitely the Japanese regiment commander, give me the machine gun!" The company commander cursed, snatched the machine gun from the machine gunner, and shot directly at Ichiro Fukagawa!
Da da da………

Puff puff………

Machine gun bullets burst out, killing several Japanese soldiers at once.

"Captain, be careful!"

"Cover! Suppress with fire..."

At the critical moment, the Japanese lieutenant colonel pushed Ichiro Fukagawa to the ground, and a Japanese officer was giving orders.

Many Japanese soldiers fired at the company commander's position, and several light machine guns fired suppressive fire at the mountain over there.

Da da da………

Bang, bang, bang…whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

The company commander reacted quickly and hid immediately. Hearing the bullets flying over his head, he got goose bumps.

"Damn it, it's a good thing I retreated quickly!" The company commander said with lingering fear. If he had been a minute slower, he would have been shot into a sieve.

However, he felt that he did not kill the Japanese commander.

.........

"Captain, are you okay?!" The Japanese lieutenant colonel pressed on Ichiro Fukagawa and asked with concern. Blood was coming out of his mouth and his back was stained red with blood. He was shot several times.

"I'm fine, but you look seriously injured. Hold on!" Ichiro Fukagawa was also a little anxious. If it weren't for the Japanese lieutenant colonel, he would have probably been beaten to death just now.

"For the empire..." The Japanese lieutenant colonel died before he could finish his words, and his head drooped on Ichiro Fukagawa's chest.

"Captain, retreat quickly!" A Japanese major moved the body of the Japanese lieutenant colonel who was pressing on Ichiro Fukagawa, then pulled Ichiro Fukagawa up and moved to the rear.

Bang bang bang…

Da da da………

Gunshots still rang out in the area, and from time to time, Japanese soldiers or soldiers from the New 1st Regiment would be shot and fall.

Fortunately, Zhang Dabiao and his men had strong firepower and were able to fight the Japanese back and forth.

.........

On the other side, Fang Ligong also heard the sound of mine explosions, although it was faint, it was continuous.

"Chief of Staff, the retreating Japanese seem to have been blocked by the people of the New 1st Regiment!" The second battalion commander said happily. It seems that the people of the New 1st Regiment are quite reliable and arrived in time.

To be honest, he had been a little worried before that the New 1st Regiment would wait until they suffered heavy casualties before coming. It seemed that they were judging others by their own standards.

"Well, as long as we can hold the Japanese here and prevent them from running away, our mission will be accomplished!" Fang Ligong nodded and stated their current mission.

The Japanese in this valley resisted very fiercely, and each of them seemed to be willing to die.

If it weren't for the soldiers sent by Mu Jin, they would not have been able to stop so many devils.

Da da da………

Bang bang bang…

.........

At the same time, Li Yunlong and his men were less than a few hundred meters away from Fang Ligong.

"Old Zhao, you take half of the people to help the 358th Regiment, and I will take people to help Da Biao and the others!" Li Yunlong gave the order immediately.

"Understood!" Zhao Gang nodded, and immediately led several hundred people to rush towards Fang Ligong.

The two men split into two groups, and Li Yunlong took the rest of the people and ran quickly towards Zhang Dabiao.

Because he felt that this retreating Japanese commander was really capable, as he actually dared to abandon the Japanese in the valley and choose to retreat directly.

So, he was worried that Zhang Dabiao might not be able to deal with these devils!

Zhao Gang led his team to run very quickly, and two minutes later, he led his men to join the battle.

With the joining of Zhao Gang, the Japanese in the valley also suffered a devastating blow.

Puff puff………

The remaining 500-odd Japanese soldiers were all wiped out by them in just five minutes.

"Political Commissar Zhao, you've come at the right time!" Fang Ligong came down the mountain and came to Zhao Gang to greet him.

At first he thought it was Chu Yunfei and his group, but he didn't expect it to be the political commissar of the New 1st Regiment, Zhao Gang, who brought his men over.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Bring your men with me to support us immediately. Let's eliminate the Japs over there first and then talk about other things!" Zhao Gang didn't want to say any more nonsense. He just wanted to quickly eliminate the Japs on Zhang Dabiao's side.

"Okay! Second Battalion Commander, you leave some people to clean up the battlefield, and the others follow us!" Fang Ligong did not hesitate and gave the order immediately.

The group hurried towards Zhang Dabiao's direction.

.........

At this time, Ichiro Fukagawa also successfully broke out of the ambush point from the rear.

What puzzled Ichiro Fukagawa was that they broke out from the rear, and it seemed that the enemies did not try too hard to stop them.

However, Ichiro Fukagawa didn't want to think so much now. He just wanted to occupy those mountains as soon as possible and gain advantageous terrain.

As long as he occupies the mountain, he will be able to kill more enemies!

And Ichiro Fukagawa had no idea that the reason he was able to escape so easily was entirely because of Zhang Dabiao's intention.

Because there were not many soldiers guarding the rear, if they tried their best to stop him, there might be heavy casualties. Instead of that, it would be better to let Ichiro Fukagawa escape.

Anyway, Ichiro Fukagawa's purpose is to run to the nearby mountains, so it won't have much impact.

Ichiro Fukagawa led the team and rushed towards several mountains ahead.

However, when the distance was less than two hundred meters, gunshots suddenly came from those small hills.

Da da da………

Bang bang bang…

Puff puff………

Due to carelessness, a large number of Japanese soldiers rushing in the front fell down on the spot, causing heavy casualties.

Seeing this scene, Ichiro Fukagawa was completely dumbfounded. He had never thought that there would be people on these mountains. After all, he had just led people passing by here before!

Since there were people there, why didn't the enemy shoot earlier? !

Is it just to stop him now? !

Ichiro Fukagawa felt scared. He was not afraid of death, but the feeling of having his every move predicted by the enemy was too uncomfortable!

The Japanese soldiers were also counterattacking towards the mountain, and at the same time, the enemy from behind was chasing them.

For a time, Ichiro Fukagawa was attacked from all sides.

"Qikexiu... How could there be such a person!!!" Ichiro Fukagawa was so angry that he cursed loudly. He was actually tricked to the point of being completely defeated and was no match for the other party at all.

"Captain, it seems we have no way to retreat!" The Japanese major came to Ichiro Fukagawa and said. Now the mountain ahead was occupied by the enemy. Although the number of people was small, the firepower was not weak. The key was that there seemed to be sharpshooters among them, which made it even more difficult to fight.

"Baga! Pass the order down, fight back with all our might! We would rather die than surrender!" Ichiro Fukagawa made the most courageous decision.

He would die, but he had to die for a good cause! He didn't want to be captured and humiliated by the enemy.

Although Ichiro Fukagawa was caught in a pincer attack, he still had a lot of people, with more than 800 soldiers.

"Damn it, we finally caught up! Artillery, bomb those bastards to death for me!!!" At this time, Li Yunlong also rushed over with the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment. He immediately ordered the artillery to fire at the Japanese!
