Chapter 182 Retreat
Zhou Zhengyang showed up as soon as the Japanese army showed signs of retreat.
"I want to run away, there is nothing!" Zhou Zhengyang sneered.
Then he ordered the communications soldier beside him: "I informed the company commander Zhang of the artillery company behind me, I am going to calm down the Japanese without guns to attack them and ask for artillery support!"
After saying that, Zhou Zhengyang ordered loudly: "Heavy machine gun cover, others will fight with me! The horn officer will blow the charge, comrades, fight with me, kill the Japanese! "
The Japanese who had half a squadron left on the battlefield had just turned around and retreated when the sound of the charge sounded on the battlefield.
More than a hundred Eighth Route Army, whether new recruits or Lao Bin, rushed out with light machine guns and rifles.
The riflemen were fine, and they all rushed forward with all their might and rarely stopped to shoot.
But the machine gunner is different. The crooked handle in his arms shoots a string of bullets on the Japanese back whenever he has the chance.
The Japanese who were retreating madly in front of him kept falling to the ground and dead.
"How dare the Eighth Route Army come out? Let the Fourth Squadron rush up, take the retreating troops, and fight the Eighth Route Army against the Eighth Route Army. Even if the Imperial Japanese Imperial Army does not have the equipment for fine grain, they cannot bully it if they want to bully it." Major Qiushui saw that the brave Imperial Army was chased by the Eighth Route Army, and there was no room for revenge. The affliction in his stomach was imagined, and immediately ordered with revenge.
The Japanese army, which were scattered in order to avoid artillery fire, quickly began to assemble.
But as soon as they rushed onto the road, the screams of shells passing through the sky reached their ears, and then six explosions rang out among them.
"Baga, it's artillery bombardment, covered by the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire. Everyone should quickly disperse and move and leave the highway!" The squadron leader shouted.
Then he ran to Major Qiushui to report helplessly: "Captain, the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire is too fierce, and the troops will hit the shells in just one concentration. The Fourth Squadron was killed by more than a dozen warriors before they started the attack. According to this loss, when the retreating troops are brought back by Beishi, the Fourth Squadron will definitely be blown away!"
"Did you just watch the retreating troops besieged by the Eighth Route Army and their entire army is destroyed!" Major Qiushui stared at the squadron leader and asked back.
The squadron leader quickly explained: "Captain, this is not what Bei Zhi means, but I just feel that it is not worth the effort. The Eighth Route Army opposite is too well equipped and it is impossible for a small army to have! Bei Zhi suspected that we were deceived by the Eighth Route Army again!"
"It's not worth the loss!" Hearing these four words, Master Qiu Shui shut up.
As the commander, he knew the chill of this sentence more than anyone else.
If it really won't be worth the loss, he would give up the retreating troops who were chased and beaten by the Eighth Route Army without reminding him.
I was just blinded by anger just now and didn't think of this. Now that I think about it seriously, it's really the case, and I gave up the idea of taking the risk of receiving the retreating troops.
Not only that, another explanation from the squadron leader also gave himself a reminder.
The battle this night was the Imperial Army being led by the Eighth Route Army and being passively beaten everywhere.
Who can guarantee that the battle in front of you is also a conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army?
If it weren't for a conspiracy, how could a small army of the Independent Regiment have so many more weapons than a battalion of infantry?
Let’s take a step back, even if it’s not a conspiracy, as the captain, I have to consider whether it’s a good idea to continue to fight against the Eighth Route Army and wipe out them all in the face of so many weapons.
Major Qiu Shui reacted suddenly, and then his subordinates looked at the order in confusion, "Retreat, the entire army retreats, first withdraw the range of the Eighth Route Army infantry artillery!"
"Also, use the radio station to report the situation here to the brigade headquarters to confirm how many Eighth Route Army troops there are on the streets, and whether the information they provide is accurate!"
"If the headquarters asks our headquarters to continue the attack, I ask for artillery fire 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!"
The Japanese attacking troops of two infantry squadrons finally retreated only one infantry squadron.
Dozens of Japanese devils with a look of lingering fear on their faces received orders to continue retreating before they could take a breath.
More than 700 Japanese troops, all of them, retreated quickly along the wasteland and fertile fields on both sides of the highway, in small groups.
Artillery company commander Zhang Bing, it is rare to encounter an opportunity to suppress the enemy and fight.
He was both excited and excited. Although he was not sure why the Japanese chose to retreat at this time, he was still very clear about the reason why they beat the dogs in the water.
Therefore, as soon as the Japanese army retreated, he ordered: "All artillery fire freely, and shoot wherever the Japanese have more shells!"
On the one-kilometer retreat road, artillery shells kept hitting and exploding, taking away one or two lives.
After finally evacuating the range of infantry artillery, more than fifty subordinates fell on the retreat path and died.
At this time, the brigade headquarters, which received the telegram from Master Qiushui, was having a very fierce dispute.
The chief of staff of the brigade was very sure that the Eighth Route Army that attacked the strongholds on the streets was a small unit of the Independent Regiment.
Even if the Independent Regiment is a strengthened regiment of the Eighth Route Army, its troops are still of great strength.
In addition to attacking Laiyuan City and outside the city, the Eighth Route Army that blocked the Qiushui Brigade, they went to the streets to reach the top of the sky with a main battalion.
The Eighth Route Army also needed manpower to transfer Colonel Aoki to the streets, and it should not be too few, otherwise Aoki would not be fooled.
After all the calculations, it would be a big hit if there was a main force of the Eighth Route Army on the street.
But now it seems that the Eighth Route Army has emerged on the battlefield with more than one main company, and even more than one main battalion!
Several staff officers believed that the Imperial Army had been deceived again. After all, the content of Grandpa Qiu Shui coming was factual, and he witnessed it with his own eyes on the battlefield.
Director of Intelligence Yamamoto stood by, lowering his head and saying nothing.
The wrong information he provided tonight has caused the brigade to lose troops and generals. Although he still has a lot of information, no one can guarantee that the information is true. In this way, what Yamabusan can do is to lower his head and say nothing, and wait for the battle to be over, further strengthen the construction of his own 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, he can only hold it in his stomach for the time being.
However, some expressions betrayed his thoughts.
