Chapter 422 Temporary decision to guard the bridge
"Sorry, I originally planned to let you have some rest, but I didn't want the Japanese to not give us time!" Captain He looked at Wang Si with a sorry look and said, "In this way, you don't need to clean up the place. Hurry up and lead the team to retreat into the mountain!"
Captain He felt that the Japanese's sweep this time was not just because the artillery tower was the fuse, but a planned and planned sweep that had been long-planned.
The Japanese came in full force and pointed to their regiment's garrison with clear goals. This was a big battle. In order to avoid head-on confrontation with the Japanese, he began to strengthen the walls and clear the fields according to the previous way of dealing with the Japanese.
"Are we all retreating like this?" Wang Si heard this and knew that Commander He had no intention of confronting the Japanese head-on, but he left the Second Battalion to attack, in order to cover the evacuation of other troops, so he was full of confusion and confusion.
You should know that the creation of this base is not easy. In the face of the Japanese attack, they evacuated without a single shot. This does not seem to be a decision made by a combat force.
"The Japanese came here prepared this time. If we rashly exchange fire with the Japanese, we will definitely suffer the loss in the end!" Captain He understood what he wanted to say, so he said to Wang Si, "So we should avoid the edge as much as possible, bypass the frontal battlefield, and let the Japanese fight hard on the cotton!"
"I don't understand your commands, but I think your analysis makes sense!" After hearing this, Wang Si seemed to understand the words of Commander He, so he said this in front of Commander He, "Please rest assured that the commander of the regiment is directly under the special operations team to ensure that the task is completed."
"Be careful!" Captain He gave instructed, then turned around and took the remaining people to command the battle, leaving Wang Si and the others in the room.
Seeing that Captain He and the others had already set off, Wang Si called the big guy and Chu Huaichen to gather their own brothers quickly and prepare to retreat to the mountain with the main force of the New Fourth Army.
After leaving the house, there was chaos outside, with the people, the army, and various materials and institutions all moving, and the ground was in a mess. I am afraid that it would not be as chaotic as this time at any time.
Wang Si and the others didn't know which team to retreat, so they took their brothers and equipment to run into the mountains and forests.
He knew that only by leaving here can he be safe. The key is to lead the team in his hands at the moment, because the rest are not what he should consider for the time being.
Just as Wang Si and his friends entered the forest, a team responsible for covering supplies passed by them. Wang Si noticed that their officer was nothing but Xue Houzi in the Nine Company and row.
At this moment, Xue Houzi was directing his brothers and comrades from the logistics department to enter the mountains and forests in accordance with order, maintaining the formation as much as possible, and preventing crowded situations from happening.
But at this moment, there were dense gunfire sounds from behind them, including the chaotic gunfire of the 38th large cover, as well as the sounds of the wavy light machine gun and the Type 92 heavy machine gun.
"The Japanese are coming up, comrades, stop me!" Xue Houzi heard the intensity of the gunshots and knew that they were all the Japanese equipment. He immediately called the soldiers around him to start blocking the attack so that the comrades and logistics supplies in the Logistics Department would go further.
After his order, the platoon of soldiers under his command ran towards the Japanese chasing behind desperately, and fought with the Japanese with the help of the woods beside him.
"Fourth brother, it's Xue Houzi and the others!" The big man saw Xue Houzi bringing people to block the Japanese, so he immediately ran to Wang Si and said to Wang Si.
"Aren't the Ninth Company and the Spy Company responsible for the transfer of materials? Why is there only one platoon left now?" Wang Si was very puzzled.
When Captain He issued the war order, Wang Si was right in front of him. He heard it very clearly that the soldiers of the Ninth Company and the Spy Company were responsible for the transfer of materials, but now there was only Xue Houzi, a platoon left. He really couldn't figure out what the situation was.
"Maybe the Japanese are pursuing too tightly. They divided their troops to deal with the Japanese!" Chu Huaichen analyzed. There are many Japanese people pursuing them now, and it is normal for them to be attacked.
"There is a bridge behind this forest. After the materials are crossed, this bridge becomes a key point. Once this bridge falls into the hands of the Japanese, our team hiding in the forest will be hunted by the Japanese!" Wang Si did not care about the matter of the Ninth Company and the Spy Company. At this moment, he checked the terrain of the next week and said to everyone.
"What the Fourth Brother means is that this bridge is related to the safety of our entire group?" Hearing Wang Si's words, the big man seemed to understand some of Wang Si's words, so he boldly speculated.
"That's right, I'm afraid Captain He hasn't discovered the interests of this bridge yet!" Wang Si said affirmatively, "We can only rely on our special operation team to defend!"
If Commander He knew the interests of the bridge, he would mobilize a company to guard here no matter what. But Commander He has no action on this side at present, and all the troops of the regiment have corresponding combat tasks, but only Wang Si and the others are temporarily free, so the guards of this bridge can only look at their special operations team.
"Okay, let's hurry up!" The big man said immediately, as if he agreed with Wang Si's analysis, so he decided to go to the bridge as quickly as possible and take his brothers to guard the bridge.
While speaking, Wang Si took his brothers under his command to quickly climb over the forest and came directly to the bridge.
This is a bridge made of reinforced concrete, relatively sturdy and a main hub connecting the east and west roads. The most suitable armored vehicles and heavy artillery for the Japanese pass through here. As Wang Si said, whoever controls this bridge controls the entire battle situation.
Wang Si did not dare to delay, so he immediately asked Ma Sanpao to prepare a sandbag and temporarily build a defensive bunker. Then, Chu Huaichen and a few brothers were ambushed there to fight and block the attack according to the position east of the bridge.
The big man and the veterans took their brothers to put explosives under the bridge, making plans for the worst. Once the bridge could not be kept, they could only blow up the bridge.
While Wang Si was busy arranging the work of guarding the bridge, the Japanese gunshots were getting closer and closer. After nearly half of the team lost the team, Xue Houzi, who was responsible for blocking, took the remaining team to retreat into the forest, and then followed the bridge to the west.
The Japanese team followed closely behind them, constantly snatching and chasing, not too far from Xue Houzi and the others. As soon as the gunshot sounded, several soldiers died and fell in during the retreat.
Seeing that the Japanese were chasing too hard, Xue Houzi could not get rid of the Japanese, so Wang Si asked Chu Huaichen and the others to quickly rob and cover Xue Houzi and the others to retreat across the bridge.
Chapter completed!
