Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 180 Retreat (Third Watch!)

As soon as the Japanese army showed signs of retreat, Zhou Zhengyang discovered it.

"If you want to run, you don't have any!" Zhou Zhengyang sneered.

Then he ordered to the communication soldier beside him: "Notify the artillery company commander Zhang behind, I am going to counterattack if the devils don't have artillery, and ask for artillery support!"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Zhengyang ordered loudly: "Heavy machine gun cover, others will follow me to fight out! Bugler, blow the charge horn, comrades, charge with me, and kill the devil!"

The devils with more than half of the squadron left on the battlefield just turned around and retreated, when the sound of the charge horn sounded on the battlefield.

More than 100 members of the Eighth Route Army, regardless of recruits or Lao Bin, rushed out with light machine guns and rifles in their hands.

The riflemen were alright, all charging forward with all their might, rarely stopping to shoot.

But the machine gunner was different. The crooked handle in his arms would shoot a string of bullets at the devil's back whenever he got a chance.

The devils in front frantically retreated back, and some of them fell to the ground and died.

"Bageya Road, how dare the Eighth Route Army come out. Let the Fourth Squadron rush up, catch up the retreating troops, and attack the Eighth Route Army by the way. Even if the Imperial Japanese Army does not have fine food equipment, it is not that they can bully them if they want to You can be bullied." Shao Zuo Qiushui saw that the heroic imperial army was being chased and beaten by the Eighth Route Army, and there was no room for retaliation, so one could imagine the aggrieved stomach, and immediately ordered with the thought of revenge.

The Japanese troops, dispersed to avoid the artillery fire, quickly began to gather.

But as soon as they rushed onto the road, the shriek of shells across the sky reached their ears, followed by six explosions among them.

"Baga, it's shelling. The Eighth Route Army's artillery is covering it. Everyone, disperse and move away from the road!" The squadron leader yelled.

Then he ran to Shaozuo Qiushui and reported helplessly, "Captain, the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army is too fierce. As long as the troops are concentrated, the shells will fall down. The Fourth Squadron was killed a dozen warriors before the attack just now. According to this The speed is lost, and the Fourth Squadron will definitely be blown up when the humble job brings back the retreating troops!"

"Could it be that you just watched the retreating troops being suppressed and beaten by the Eighth Route Army, and the entire army was wiped out!" Qiushui Shaozuo asked while staring at the squadron leader.

The squadron leader hurriedly explained: "Captain, that's not what I mean by being humble, I just feel that the loss outweighs the gain. The equipment of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side is so good that it is impossible for a small army to have it! I suspect that we were deceived by the Eighth Route Army again." !"

"The gain outweighs the loss!" Hearing these four words, Major Qiu Shui shut up immediately.

As a commander, he knows the chill of this sentence better than anyone.

If the gains outweigh the losses, he would give up the retreating troops being chased and beaten by the Eighth Route Army without his subordinates reminding him.

I was just dazzled by anger just now, and didn't think of this.Now that I think about it seriously, it really is such a thing, and I gave up the idea of ​​taking risks to meet the retreating troops.

Not only that, but the squadron leader's other explanation also gave himself a reminder.

In the battle tonight, the imperial army was led by the nose by the Eighth Route Army, and they were passively beaten everywhere.

Who can guarantee whether the battle in front of us is also a conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army.

If it weren't for a conspiracy, how could a small unit of the Independent Regiment have so many weapons, more than their own infantry brigade.

Taking a step back, even if it wasn't a conspiracy, as the captain, he had to consider whether it would be worthwhile to continue to fight the Eighth Route Army and wipe them out when the opponent had so many weapons.

Shao Zuo Qiushui came to his senses all of a sudden, and then he gave orders to his subordinates with puzzled eyes: "Retreat, the whole army retreats, first withdraw from the range of the Eighth Route Army's infantry artillery!"

"Also, use the radio to report the situation here to the brigade headquarters immediately, to confirm how many Eighth Route Army troops are in the stronghold on the street, and whether the information they provide is accurate!"

"If the headquarters asks our department to continue to attack, and I ask for artillery support, the headquarters must send a mountain artillery squadron to support me, at least two mountain artillery squadrons, otherwise I will not be able to control the casualties of the troops during the battle!"

Of the Japanese attacking units of two infantry squadrons, only one infantry squad managed to retreat in the end.

Dozens of devils with lingering fear expressions on their faces received orders to continue retreating before they could take a breath.

More than 700 Japanese troops, all in squads, quickly retreated along the wasteland and fertile fields on both sides of the road.

Zhang Bing, the artillery company commander, rarely encountered an opportunity to fight against the enemy.

Excited and excited, although he didn't know why the devil chose to retreat at this time, he was still very clear about the reason for beating the dog in the water.

Therefore, as soon as the Japanese army withdrew, he ordered: "All the artillery fire freely, and wherever the devils have more shells, they will shoot there!"

On the one-kilometer-long retreat, shells kept falling and exploded, taking one or two lives.

After finally withdrawing from the range of the infantry artillery, more than 50 subordinates fell on the retreat road and died.

At this time, the brigade headquarters that received the telegram from Shaozuo Qiushui was engaged in a very fierce dispute.

The chief of staff of the brigade was very sure that the Eighth Route Army attacking the Shangjie stronghold was a small unit of the Independent Regiment.

Even if the Independent Regiment is a reinforced regiment of the Eighth Route Army, its strength is still considerable.

In addition to the Eighth Route Army that attacked Laiyuan City and blocked the Qiushui Brigade outside the city, there was a main battalion in Dingtian, a stronghold in Shangjie.

And the Eighth Route Army also needs manpower to transfer Dazuo Aoki out of the stronghold on the street, and it can't be too few, otherwise Aoki won't be fooled.

After all the calculations, if there is a main force of the Eighth Route Army in the streets, it will be as good as the sky.

But now it seems that the strength of the Eighth Route Army alone on the battlefield is more than one main company, or even a main battalion!
Several staff officers thought that the imperial army had been deceived again. After all, the contents sent by Major Qiushui were all facts, which he witnessed on the battlefield.

Chief of Intelligence Yamamoto stood by the side all the time, lowered his head and said nothing.

The wrong information he provided tonight has cost the brigade a lot of troops.Although there is still a lot of information in hand, no one can guarantee that the information is true.In this way, what Yamamoto can do is to keep his head down and say nothing, and after the battle is over, he will further strengthen the construction of his intelligence network!

At this moment, Yamamoto was targeted by Ono.

It can be said that Ono is now full of dissatisfaction and anger towards Yamamoto.But because the battle is not over yet, I can only hold it in my stomach for the time being.

However, some expressions still betrayed the thoughts in his heart.

Seeing Yamamoto, Ono frowned subconsciously!
