"Sir, the Eighth Route Army that wanted to break through has been blocked by us at the foot of the mountain. There are Imperial Army troops in several directions. Should we contact the defenders at the strongholds? Let's attack together and wipe them out!" Looking at the fireballs rising at the foot of the mountain, you can even see the Eighth Route Army panicked in the shelling, the adjutant couldn't help but suggest, with a frenzy look on his face.

Surprisingly, the squadron leader who has always been ambitious and looked down on the Chinese army actually refused.

"Baga, have you forgotten the orders from the captain and the brigade command?"

"Also, if these Eighth Route Army were really so easy to destroy, we were killed by us a month ago. It is impossible to wait until now. Although they are surrounded by us now, you forgot an old saying from the Chinese that rabbits will bite people if they are too impatient, not to mention that they are well-equipped and powerful Eighth Route Army troops."

"How many lives do you want us to pay to destroy them? One squad, two squad, or the entire infantry squadron?"

After a series of remarks, although the adjutant was unwilling to accept it, he could only shut up his mouth obediently.

In fact, the squadron leader wanted to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity more than anyone else.

In his opinion, the Imperial Army attacked from three sides and attacked from a high point, which would definitely wipe out the new batch of meals at the foot of the mountain.

But he didn't dare. As the squadron leader, although he was not a senior officer of the brigade, because of his good relationship with the brigade leader, he heard about the above ideas, especially the brigade leader's ideas.

The remnants of the New First Regiment, which was already at a loss, rose again under heavy encirclement and suppression, and the brigade commander Major General Matsumoto summarized several very important reasons.

The two most important ones are that the Imperial Army underestimates the enemy and the Imperial Army is too impulsive.

It is easy to explain to underestimate the enemy, but impulse is a bit intriguing.

Major General Matsumoto explained to everyone that in several consecutive battles with the New Orlean regiment, the New Orlean regiment showed a hunter character, while the Imperial Army was the prey character, which was completely reversed.

As the imperial army, he became impulsive in every battle, taking the initiative to attack, attack, or actively encirclement and suppress... and creating a surveying fighter jet for the new regiment acting as hunters.

At this time, the hunters were quietly lurking around. As long as the imperial army showed a little flaw on the battlefield, they would pounce on it, bite it hard, and then retreat quickly...

Since neither impulsive nor active attack can be used to kill the Xinyi regiment, and it will also cause losses to the generals. Major General Matsumoto's first idea is to change the way, use calmness to act as a hunter, and let the remaining Xinyi regiment be prey.

In the orders to several captains, a special request was made that in the battle against the new regiment, unless you are absolutely sure, you must not take the initiative.

No one can guarantee whether the roles of hunters and prey on the battlefield will change again once the Imperial Army attacks.

During the battle for more than half a month, there were too many such things that Major General Matsumoto was not careful.

Especially after confirming that the New First Regiment's garrison in the mountains was destroyed by the aviation force, Matsumoto issued a strict order to the garrison on the blockade line: No one or any unit could take the initiative to fight against the remnants of the New First Regiment. Each unit strictly guarded the defense line and blocked the remnants of the New First Regiment in the mountains, so that the remnants of the New First Regiment, who had run out of ammunition and food were fed on their own in the mountains.

It is precisely because of these reasons that the squadron leader suppressed his inner impulse.

Of course, not taking the initiative to attack does not mean that the Eighth Route Army cannot be attacked from a long range.

The conversation changed and followed, and ordered: "All troops immediately turned into defense, block the Eighth Route Army's troops who wanted to come out of the mountain, and drove them back. The artillery troops fired their guns with all their might and killed them with shells!"

Wang Ping was very surprised and hid in the trench, holding a pistol, and for a long time the Japanese attacked.

"Captain, what are the Japanese doing? Why don't they attack? Do they have reinforcements?" Hong Ruijun next to him asked nervously and gladly,

Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "I can't figure out the specific reason?"

Then the topic changed and continued: "But if the stalemate continues like this, it is impossible for a row of three racks to rush through the Japanese's noses. Moreover, the Japanese's artillery is better than ours, and the artillery platoons of three mortars will definitely not last long."

This was something the Japanese squadron leader did not expect. Although his playing style was very awkward, he forced Wang Ping to advance and retreat, and there was no solution.

Just when this was the case, Wang Ping clearly felt that the counterattack of the artillery company was weaker.

It took a long time for one or two shells to cross over everyone's heads and smash towards the Japanese artillery positions.

Not only that, the Japanese artillery seemed to be full of confidence in packing up the artillery company. In addition to firing against the artillery company, the only three mortars also distributed one mortar to fire shells at the guards.

"Dadadada..." Not only that, there was no warning from the opposite average daily position.

Wang Ping frowned and saw dozens of Japanese soldiers rushing out of the position.

Without exception, these Japanese rushing out either carried grenade launchers or carried bags filled with grenades.

After rushing forward fifty meters, they set up grenade launchers under the cover of a large number of light and heavy machine guns behind them. They were preparing to let the grenade launchers join the long-range fire strike against the guard company.

Hong Ruijun looked at the position with a nervous look on his face. When he was about to ask the regiment commander if he was counterattacking, Wang Ping had already spoken, his tone was full of helplessness and unwillingness.

"Retreat, everyone withdraws from the battlefield and retreats to the forest!"

"Captain, don't cover them and rush out?" Hong Ruijun heard it wrong and stared at Wang Ping and asked.

"How to rush?" Wang Ping shook his head and asked, then explained helplessly.

"The Japanese stared at us without moving their troops. The guns of all the light and heavy machine guns were aimed at us. As long as we move, no matter who it is, they will be instantly sieved. If the Japanese take the initiative to attack us, we can still take advantage of the chaos on the battlefield and let them follow the Japanese soldiers to rush through the open space and into the bushes when they repel the Japanese!"

"The Japanese are too cautious. They must be afraid of being beaten by us. As a last resort, they will definitely make up for us and try to spend money with us."

"Order the troops to retreat immediately along the traffic trench. As for how to get out, I will think of other solutions."

Hong Ruijun was very unwilling to give up. Retreat now means that the guards even the more than 20 soldiers who were just beaten to death were in vain.

Such a blow is absolutely devastating for a newly formed unit.

After returning, the morale of the guard company will definitely be reduced to a minimum.

However, the leader of the group talked about the facts. No matter how unwilling he was, he could only obey the orders.
