Chapter 608 Changes
Seeing Xiong Changhe not speaking, he showed a heartache and regretful expression from the bottom of his heart. Wang Ping knew that he had tried his best to fight this way.
Take a deep breath and ordered: "Your first company will go down and rest first, and the next attacking second company will be launched. The attack method is the same as before. First, shorten the attack distance through civil engineering operations, then use grenades to greet the Japanese, and finally launch an assault. It is 1:00 a.m. Try to end the battle at 3:00 a.m.!"
A hint of excitement appeared on Xiao Yunshan's face, and then he subconsciously prepared to arrange the troops.
"Captain, emergency information..." But at this moment, a scream suddenly sounded behind him.
The investigator who was arranged by himself to monitor the Japanese encirclement and suppression troops on the edge of the mountain rushed over panting.
After seeing himself, the scouts were obviously relieved: "Captain, the Japanese have withdrawn!"
"At least one infantry brigade of Japanese soldiers and a regiment of puppet troops came here to kill. They marched very quickly, and they must have come for us. They can reach here in an hour at most!"
"It's only an hour left, why are you here to report now!" Wang Ping's brow frowned into a big Sichuan character, and then asked with dissatisfaction.
The scout replied with a grievance: "There is no radio station, I don't know that you are here, you are the regiment commander. I went to the temporary station first, asked Company Commander Wang before I knew your location, and then I rushed over. The Japanese who came over were met halfway, because I had war horses, so I rushed here in front of them!"
Seeing that the scout's face turned red due to continuous rushing, and his military uniform was soaked in sweat on a cold night. Wang Ping knew what he said was the truth, and no matter how dissatisfied, he could only hold it back.
"Go down and rest first, find a puppet military uniform to replace the wet clothes on your body, and don't catch a cold!"
As soon as the scout left, Xiong Changhe asked: "Captain, the heavy Japanese troops are coming, and they must have wanted to surround us here and wipe out all!"
Wang Ping nodded and affirmed: "Matsumoto is indeed an excellent commander. The encirclement and suppression troops retreat as soon as they say they want, and they come directly to us. If I hadn't arranged the reconnaissance troops in advance on the edge of the mountain, I would have been caught off guard by him!"
"Company Commander Xiao, the Japanese cannot fight, we must retreat immediately. There are too many Japanese and puppet troops coming here. We will be unable to leave if we delay here for another half an hour!"
Seeing the disappointed expression flashing on Xiao Yunshan's face, Wang Ping followed closely and added: "But don't worry too much, there is still a war to fight tonight!"
"The loss of the first company is too great, and there are more than 100 prisoners to be escorted. In order to prevent the Japanese from finding our temporary base, the Second Company has to fight a few tough battles and lead the Japanese to the direction away from our temporary base!"
The captain of the Japanese Third Infantry Brigade, Noda Nakasa, led his troops to travel from morning until now, and he rested on the edge of the mountain for two hours when it was dark.
As the captain of the brigade, Noda Nakasa has a marching horse, but even so, after nearly twenty hours, Major Fujino felt exhausted physically and mentally and lacked energy. Sometimes he marched on a war horse, and as he walked, his double eyelids that kept fighting were forced to fight.
This is true for me, not to mention the subordinates who are marching on two legs.
Many soldiers lost their intuition because of the continuous journey and just took steps forward mechanically.
Suddenly, a report woke Noda who was resting on the horse.
Opening his eyes, the squad leader of the forward squad stood in front of him, looking anxious.
"Sir, the new regiment attacking the stronghold ran away. I have sent someone to follow them. Should the main force follow them immediately and chase them?"
Noda Nakasa's brow frowned suddenly, and he shouted with dissatisfaction: "I ran away again. These terribly eighth routes are indeed difficult to deal with. They have such a smart nose!"
"Captain, do you want to chase after me immediately!" the adjutant reminded immediately.
"Chasing, you must chase! I finally set my sights on them, so I must not let them escape again!" Noda Nakasa made a decisive decision.
But when he saw his exhausted subordinates around him, his decisive face gradually became hesitant.
But in the end, he ordered hard: "Get out a squadron who really couldn't walk and stayed at the stronghold to rest. The Imperial Army also left a battalion, and others continued to pursue me. Except for weapons and ammunition, all other equipment were thrown away to reduce the burden!"
After missing more than ten kilograms of equipment, the troops marched significantly faster.
However, the troops had chased after less than half an hour, and a burst of gunfire reached Noda Nakasa's ears.
The gunshots came quickly and ended very quickly, less than a minute before and after.
However, the gunshots were very dense, and Noda must have been able to shoot such dense gunshots even if the three forward teams fired together.
Therefore, Noda Nakasa's heart skipped a beat and he had a very bad premonition.
"There must be something wrong with the forward team. Speed up, catch up and reinforce the forward team! Noda Nakasa made a decisive decision.
As soon as the leader rushed forward less than a hundred meters, a sergeant who was still bleeding on his shoulder was brought over: "Sir, the main force of the new first regiment, we were ambushed by the main force of the new first regiment, and the forward team is finished!"
"They equipped a lot of machine guns, and the light and heavy machine guns together had at least a dozen. They suddenly attacked us, and the firepower was strong. Before we could fight back, we almost died!"
"It must be that we chased each other too close, and they were afraid!" Noda Nakasa made a judgment with a calm face.
"With more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns, we must be the main force of the new regiment. From now on, we don't want the forwards. The whole army is holding in a group and sticking behind them to chase them. As long as they have the courage to fight back, we will surround them and kill them!"
Because the stronghold was not taken down, the Xinyi Gang did not gain much tonight. After the limited seizure and the wounded were assigned to more than 100 prisoners, they could be easily taken away by carrying it on their backs and shoulders.
In this case, the requirements for roads when the new regiment retreats will be much smaller.
Just when the Japanese vanguard troops were ambushed just now, Xiong Changhe had already left the main road with a company and all the prisoners, and retreated to the temporary stronghold by small roads.
As for Wang Ping and the Second Company, after the ambush battle, they continued to walk the main road and took the Japanese to retreat away from the temporary station.
"Captain, the Japanese are catching up again. It is more than 500 meters away from us. No vanguard or reconnaissance force is sent. More than a thousand people are hugging us in a group!" Xiao Yunshan, who was directly commanding the ambush, caught up with Wang Ping and reported that he could not see the smile on his face after the ambush had just wiped out more than 30 Japanese.
"The Japanese were also shocked. If you want to take advantage of them next, it will definitely be more difficult than climbing to the sky!" Wang Ping sighed and sighed.
Then he frowned and ordered: "The army's march must be accelerated!"
"We are too close to the Japanese. They can come over to surround us with just one charge, and at least they have to pull the distance to one kilometer!"
Xiao Yunshan did not execute the order immediately, but replied with confusion: "Captain, it seems that there is no need!"
"The Japanese and puppet troops behind us seem to have no physical strength, and they can't pursue us faster. Moreover, I just watched them in less than ten minutes and saw several puppet troops fall behind!"
Wang Ping was stunned at first, then a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
