Liang Jian: Peaceful battle, I will bring a group to help the scene

Chapter 147 Slowly pursue and withdraw troops!
"What suggestion does Ikeda-kun have?"

Miyamoto Taro knew that Ikeda Kenjiro would definitely have suggestions next, so he said in a concentrated voice.

"We can only withdraw our troops!"

Ikeda Kenjiro said solemnly: "In terms of military strength, we still have nearly four thousand troops.".

"The enemy defenders at the Huting stronghold are estimated to have two to 3000 people, and the enemy is on the defensive side. In this way, our current strength is no longer capable of breaking through the enemy's defensive positions at the Huting stronghold."

Miyamoto Taro nodded silently.

In the air raid and bombing just now, ten 800-kilogram aerial bombs made the enemy soldiers who did not bomb them terrified.

Moreover, the front of the Huting stronghold and the defensive position behind it, although a large number of obstacle fortifications on the surface of the position were blown into ruins.

However, when more than 40 imperial soldiers from the Second Infantry Battalion of the 100th Infantry Regiment launched a charge attack.

There are still many soldiers and firepower emerging from the enemy's trenches, which shows that the heavy aerial bombs dropped by the Type [-] land attack aircraft fleet did not kill many enemy defenders.

It is conceivable that the enemy must have dug an anti-aircraft bunker sufficient to withstand heavy aerial bombs under the trench.

In addition, our own artillery positions were bombed, and all twelve Type [-] infantry guns were destroyed by the explosion.

The counterattack army commanded by Miyamoto Taro now has less than [-] troops left, and there is no heavy weapon in his hand, that is, the Type [-] infantry artillery.

The rest, are some 60mm mortars, and other grenades.

The artillery advantage was lost.

It is estimated that it will take a few hours for the Type [-] land attack aircraft fleet returning from the air strike to carry out the second bombing.

However, judging from the current situation, another bombing will still not shake the enemy's defensive position.

"Your Excellency, withdraw troops, or?"

After seeing Taro Miyamoto nodding silently, he didn't speak, and Chief of Staff Ikeda Kenjiro asked again.

"Let's withdraw troops! Issue the order to withdraw troops, order all ministries to retreat slowly, and first retreat to the area two kilometers north of Yixiantian to set up camp. After the mountain pass on the south side of Yixiantian is reopened, we will take back the Xiushui River Bridge and cross the river to return to Beijing. Hai County, together with the 3st Infantry Regiment of the 41rd Brigade as reinforcements, work together to recapture Jinghai County."

Miyamoto Taro gritted his teeth and said: "Also, let the communications staff send a report to the headquarters to report our situation.".

"Yes, Your Excellency the General."

Seeing this, Ikeda Kenjiro secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately said heavily.

I have to say that Miyamoto Taro's decision was correct.

If you continue to smash the Huting stronghold, you can only be bit by bit by the defensive force of the defenders.

At this time, the artillery in Xu Rui's hand and the shells of the large-caliber mortar are very sufficient.

Especially in the previous raid on Lijia Town, the weapon lottery system BUG rewarded the three tons of explosives, and there were at least half of the explosive packs made, which was enough for the little devils who would launch bombing attacks next.

Soon, after receiving Miyamoto Taro's order to withdraw troops.

The captain of the Devil's 40th Infantry Regiment, Kenichiro Takali, and other devil generals breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to smash the Huting stronghold, which could only lead to a dead end.

What's more, the supply line at the back was cut off, and it was impossible for the airdropped supplies to support the logistics of nearly [-] palace soldiers.

In this way, now they can only withdraw their troops and return to the south.

However, even if the troops were withdrawn and returned to the south, the mountain pass on the south side of Yiyitiantian was blocked.

But compared to continuing to smash the Huting stronghold, Takali Kenichiro and other devil generals feel that it is more appropriate to withdraw their troops and return to the south.

Soon, the devils retreated slowly, and even if they retreated, they used the concentrated mortars to bomb the Huting stronghold.

In particular, Miyamoto Taro still retreated a little bit, and planned to ambush after the 303rd regiment of the Jinsui Army at the Luhuting stronghold took the initiative to pursue.

It's just that the devil retreated slowly, what Xu Rui saw clearly.

"Miyamoto Taro, the old devil, actually started to retreat south."

Xu Rui observed the south with a telescope at the observation port of the reinforced concrete bunker, and saw the devils pack up their things, and began to retreat southwards slowly under the cover of concentrated mortar shelling, he couldn't help saying in surprise.

"Tuan Zuo, let the brothers rush out of the position and fight back?"

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu asked calmly.

"Of course there is no need to rush out of the position to fight back."

Xu Rui suppressed his desire to counterattack quickly, but pointed to the speed and stability of the devil's withdrawal, and said: "The little devil retreats slowly, and the team is not in chaos at all.".

"Miyamoto Taro, the old devil, is still very stable in withdrawing troops. And you see, on both sides of the road, there are faint devil stragglers moving. This is an ambush from the rear! If we counterattack now, rush out of the position The brothers on the way of pursuit must have been ambushed."

Seeing this, Luo Youdu understood that Xu Rui did not underestimate the enemy, so he smiled and said: "What the Tuan Zuo said is true.".

"The initiative on the battlefield is now in our hands. It is Taro Miyamoto who should be anxious. The mountain pass on the south side of Yixiantian has been blocked by half of the cavalry battalion and the Spike Special Forces commanded by Xu Dahu. In a short time, Miyamoto Even if Taro withdrew to the first line of sky, he would not be able to retreat to the north bank of the Xiushui River Bridge through the natural barrier of the first line of sky."

After a pause, Luo Youdu continued: "Tuan Zuo, what should we do next?".

"Order Wang Dazhu to bombard the tails of the retreating devils. Under the cover of artillery fire, a small group of troops slowly pressed southward with an attack distance of 100 meters."

Xu Rui chuckled and said slyly: "We are not in a hurry now, just fight like this for now."

"Row!!"

Luo Youdu nodded, this is also a good way.

Now the artillery of the 303rd Regiment has a huge advantage, and the artillery shells that were hit in the devil's artillery position were obviously killed in the anti-artillery operation just now.

Without the advantage of artillery, the little devil can only be bombed by his own side.

Taking advantage of the artillery, it is most appropriate to slowly press and pursue the south.

Soon, according to Xu Rui's order, Wang Dazhu, the artillery company commander of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army, immediately concentrated his large-caliber artillery and mortars, and aimed directly at the soldiers of the 303rd Regiment commanded by Miyamoto Taro, who were leading the [-]rd Regiment with their tails out. Under the guidance of his walkie-talkie, the artillery shelled and bombed slowly.

This action immediately made Miyamoto Taro very uncomfortable.

Seeing that Xu Rui refused to send a large number of defenders to rush out of the position for a quick counterattack, the plan to ambush on the way back was aborted.

In addition, the twelve 303-type infantry guns of our own side have been exploded into fragments due to the shelling of the enemy. Without the artillery cover of the artillery, the artillery fire of the [-]rd regiment cannot be suppressed at all by the mortar fire.

Helpless, Miyamoto Taro could only order the ambushing devils to immediately follow and retreat, and the army retreated slowly.

Seeing this, Xu Rui of course followed the plan, taking advantage of Wang Dazhu's artillery advantage to bomb slowly, and then a small group of infantry followed and went south to pursue.

A large group of infantry came out after an interval of 5 minutes, so as to avoid an ambush by Taro Miyamoto on the road and had to guard against it.

"hateful!"

Seeing Xu Rui's response, Miyamoto Taro gritted his teeth angrily.

Chief of Staff Ikeda Kenjiro said with a wry smile, "The enemy commander couldn't bear it and didn't send a large group of troops to pursue it. He only bombarded the rear of our team with artillery fire. A small group of troops followed up and pursued it. It seems that they were afraid that we might have an ambush."

"Yes!"

Miyamoto Taro also had to admit that Xu Rui was cunning and flexible on the battlefield, and his endurance was very strong, so he didn't pursue quickly.

Up until now, Miyamoto Taro has realized that it is not unreasonable for the Sakata United team to be wiped out by the opponent.
