"Heavy machine gun cover, brothers, kill me!" The commander of the regiment gritted his teeth and ordered.

"Dadada..."

Amid the dense sound of heavy machine guns, more than 400 soldiers of the Shanxi-Suizhou Army rushed out of the position like hungry wolves in a platoon.

The troops have been on the front line for more than a year. Although they have not fought with the Japanese during this period, they have fought with the Japanese for no less than twenty times before.

Except for a small number of new recruits in the regiment, more than 70% of the soldiers were veterans who had fought against the Japanese and had very rich combat experience.

On the battlefield, most soldiers held their rifles in their hands, bent over, and rushed towards the town in a curve. When a few young recruits rushed up in a daze, they immediately caused a scream from the veterans and officers next to them!

Seeing the troops getting closer to the Japanese position at the entrance of the town, the regiment commander's tense heart suddenly reached his throat and he didn't dare to look down.

I even thought of the tragic scene of the attacking troops being destroyed by the fierce fire of light and heavy machine guns after the Japanese army fired at Zhenkou.

Although the matter had not happened yet, the tense leader still closed his eyes in pain.

One minute...two minutes...five minutes have passed...

The sound of machine gun fire as expected was not heard in the town, and even the sound of rifle fire was not heard.

"Captain, the Japanese in the town seem to have retreated, and the attacking troops were not attacked!" The deputy commander next to him shouted with a look of dumbfounded look on his face.

"Retreat~" the regiment commander quickly opened his eyes.

The huge attacking troops had rushed to the entrance of the town, and a company of the vanguard had rushed into the town, but no gunshots were heard in the town.

"No matter whether the Japanese run or not, all the follow-up troops rushed forward, and we also went up to prevent the Japanese from setting up pocket formations for our offensive troops in the town!" The regiment commander had a very rich combat experience, and the battlefield situation shocked him, and even a little excited. But he was not overwhelmed by the victory in front of him, and ordered with a frown.

"Yes, the leader!" The deputy leader next to him couldn't care about so much and answered excitedly.

Whether it is your luck or other reasons, as long as you can get the town in front of you, it will be a great achievement. At that time, your team deputy will definitely be promoted to a regular employee.

"Brothers, follow me and kill the devils..."

More than a thousand people, carrying heavy machine guns and mortars, rushed to the entrance of the town, and a battalion of communication soldiers rushed over: "The regiment seat, the Japanese have retreated, and there are more than a thousand people. They are retreating north outside the town. Should we pursue it?"

"Of course I have to chase!" the leader replied without thinking.

"Our regiment was crushed by this Japanese devil for so long. Now we have finally encountered a chance to beat the dog in the water. We must not let it go."

"The whole regiment followed me and chased the Japanese. Kill one Japanese and rewarded ten dollars. Kill ten Japanese and rewarded one hundred dollars, and promoted one level..."

"Brothers, kill me~"

As soon as the word "kill..." was said, the communication officer of the division headquarters rode a war horse and chased him.

"Captain Li, the division headquarters orders~"

"Your attacking division commander has seen it and decided to give you the first merit. The division headquarters ordered you to follow and pursue the Japanese army immediately, but in order to avoid the Japanese army biting back and causing casualties to the troops, the troops must maintain a distance of more than one kilometer from the Japanese army!"

"Also, you cannot use cannons during the pursuit to avoid angering the Japanese..."

"What?" After hearing the order, the group leader became angry.

"How to chase them one kilometer away? No need for mortars, rifles, light machine guns, or heavy machine guns. You can't hit the Japanese at this distance. What kind of pursuit order is this!"

The communications officer replied with a serious look on his face: "I don't know what I know. This is the order given to you by the teacher. I have not changed a word!"

"In addition, there is another saying in the teacher's seat: You must execute orders. If you disobey military orders, you will be engaged in military law!"

"The master will personally lead the master's main force to follow you five kilometers behind you to prevent accidents!"

The regiment deputy next to him was full of anger since he received the offensive order. At this time, he finally couldn't help it. When he frowned and was about to vent his eyebrows, the regiment commander glared and asked him to swallow the words he had already said!

Then he stared at the correspondent of the division headquarters and replied: "Go back and tell the division seat, we will execute the order!"

As soon as the correspondent left, the deputy governor of the regiment was unable to help but ask, "Group, what kind of order is this to chase the Japanese? You can't get close to the Japanese, how can you kill them!"

"Why don't you argue and agree!"

"Also, my brothers were pressed and beaten by the Japanese in front for so long. I finally encountered an opportunity to beat the dog in the water. It was so frustrating to just watch the opportunity slip away!"

"There is a problem!" the leader replied in a deep voice.

Then he stared at the battalion of communication soldiers in front of him and asked, "How is the formation of the retreating Japanese soldiers? Are they chaotic? They are retreating and escaping and retreating in an orderly manner, how are their equipment?"

"In an orderly retreat, heavy machine guns, mortars, infantry artillery, and mountain artillery, all with them, more than a thousand people!" The communications soldier immediately answered.

The leader replied thoughtfully: "It's true! There must be something we don't know about here!"

"More than a thousand Japanese rely on their strongholds to defend. Even with the support of the division's mountain cannon, we can't take them down. There is no need for them to retreat!"

"Now they retreated, and they still retreated in an orderly manner. The superiors only asked us to pursue long distances. Isn't this obviously not allowing us to fight the Japanese?"

"Okay, let's not discuss it anymore, execute the command!"

"It is a great thing to be able to recover so much land occupied by the Japanese without losing a brother. If we encounter it, we are lucky!"

"As for the Japanese, I believe there will be a chance to deal with them in the future!"

On a small hill two kilometers away, Li Wen, the captain of the direct team, held a telescope and looked at every move on the battlefield with confusion.

"Captain, what does the Japanese mean? With their strength, they can easily defeat the attack of the Jinsui Army. Not only did they not fight, they retreated instead!" A small team leader next to him couldn't help asking.

"There are also the Jinsui Army. When they attacked, they punched so hard. Why did they become timid when they were chasing the Japanese?"

"The two troops are more than one kilometer apart, and even if heavy machine guns are fired, it is difficult to hit the Japanese!"

"They obviously equipped with mortars, why don't they use guns!"

"The Japanese are now completely exposed in the wild. Dozens of shells can be smashed down and dozens of people can be killed at will!"

Li Wen put down his telescope and replied calmly: "If there is a problem, there must be a problem here!"

After saying that, I thought of the leader’s explanation to him before setting off.

"The Japanese army will definitely cooperate with each other. The direct team must clarify their cooperation methods and then try to disrupt their cooperation."

He raised his eyebrows and ordered: "Let's go back and send a telegram to the regiment commander immediately, report the situation, and request a fight!"
