"Company commander, it seems that the Japanese puppet army fighting with us is about to retreat." The guard squad leader was still lying on the roof, and any abnormal movement of the Japanese puppet army did not escape his eyes.

"So fast?" The company commander was blinded.

"We retreated at the beginning of the street fighting, and we wanted to weaken the devil's strength a lot through street fighting, and we couldn't achieve the goal of forcing the devils to draw more troops from the station, so we must not let them retreat so easily."

"Even if you do retreat, you have to leave something behind."

The deputy company commander also agreed: "It took so much effort for us to let the devil be fooled and take the initiative to enter the village and fight with us in the streets." ”

"The devil chose to retreat just after the firefight, he must have discovered something."

"I don't know if they see what we're trying to do."

"If this is the case, the task given to us by the regiment commander will not be completed, and the hostages surrounded by the devils in the barracks will not be saved."

"This is not the most important thing, with this fool, the devil will definitely not be easily deceived by us in the future, and will definitely choose to continue to surround us and bomb us with planes after dawn."

The company commander quickly made a decision: "Order, all participating units must hold off the Japanese puppet army." Don't let them leave the village easily. ”

"Bring it at all costs, and eat some little devils."

The combat effectiveness of the Japanese army was too strong, and the two sides were not at all opponents at the same level.

Although the garrison regiment was more adept at guerrilla warfare and was familiar with the terrain of the village, it was taken by surprise at first and gained some advantages, but that was all temporary.

As the Japanese army became more familiar with the battlefield and became more experienced in fighting, the situation on the battlefield began to slowly favor the devils.

Although the garrison regiment was very desperate, it still didn't stop the devil in the end?

"Company commander, the devil has withdrawn from the village."

As soon as the gunfire in the village stopped, the deputy company commander and the squadron leaders of the two district squadrons came to them, and their faces were very ugly.

"How many Japanese puppet soldiers have we killed in the village, and what about the casualties?" The company commander asked with a calm face.

These are two of his biggest concerns.

As long as these two combat goals are achieved, it doesn't matter when the devil leaves the village.

The deputy company commander was the first to speak: "The casualties are very large. ”

"Except that we were caught off guard by the Japanese army at the beginning and took advantage of some advantages, the next battle was obviously better than the little devils."

"Their combat effectiveness is too strong, and our main forces are no match for them one-on-one, let alone local troops and supplementary troops."

"The main force that entered the village, including artillerymen and heavy machine gunners, totaled 136 people, and now only 86 people are still breathing, including all artillery and heavy machine gunners. There were also five seriously wounded. ”

The squadron leader of the district squadron also had a solemn face, and replied with his head down: "More than half of the casualties of the second squadron are killed, and there are only 43 people left who can still breathe." ”

Another squadron leader finally reported: "There are 52 left in the third squadron that can breathe. ”

The deputy company commander finally added: "There are 99 people left in the two recruit companies of the supplementary soldiers. ”

"The main force, the local troops, and the new troops, a total of 269 people were killed"

The company commander's eyes immediately widened, red and red, as if they could breathe fire.

Staring at the deputy company commander with a look of disbelief, he shouted, "How can the casualties be so big?" How did you guys fight. ”

The deputy company commander hesitated for a moment and replied: "The devil's combat effectiveness is too strong, even if he is suddenly attacked, he can react immediately." ”

"We can't do it, not only is our combat effectiveness poor, but our organization is too chaotic, and we can't work as a whole at all when we fight, and it's easy for little devils to find our weaknesses, and then concentrate our forces and firepower to break through our weaknesses."

The company commander was silent.

He was well aware of the problems faced by the troops, but there was nothing he could do.

If it weren't for the sake of saving people, he would definitely not let the local troops and supplementary troops directly participate in the battle, and he would have a hard time with the devils when he came up.

So this is his only choice, no matter how big the price is, he has to grit his teeth and swallow it.

Staring at the deputy company commander, he continued to ask, "What about the results?" How many little devils have been eliminated in the village, and have they met our battle expectations. ”

The deputy company commander's expression was obviously soothed, and he quickly replied: "A total of 128 corpses of little devils were found in the village, 69 corpses of puppet soldiers, plus the seriously wounded taken away by the devils when they retreated, and the direct loss was more than 200 people. ”

The company commander's expression was also much better, and he replied in a deep voice: "The direct loss of more than 200 people plus the results of our shelling of the devil's blockade line at the beginning, the devil's loss must be more than one squadron." ”

"It's a bit of a big price, but I think it's a good deal."

"The total strength of the Japanese puppet army attacking us is less than 1,000 people, excluding the puppet army, there are only six or seven hundred real devils. Excluding artillery and other technical troops, the devil's combat unit has 450 people, which is equivalent to killing nearly half of their combat troops in one battle last night. ”

The deputy company commander suddenly realized and shouted: "It's true! ”

"The devils have fewer troops outside the village, and they have lost so many people at once, and if they want to continue to surround us in the village, the only way is to transfer troops from the station."

"In this way, the strength of the devil's garrison will be gone, and the regiment commander will have the opportunity to rescue the hostages."

Outside the village, the devil Shaozuo was furious.

He already knew the casualties of the troops, although the losses of the Eighth Route Army in the village were greater, but his own strength was limited, and the loss of one was one less.

At this time, the leader of the infantry squadron who participated in the attack suddenly spoke: "Sir, this battle is a bit big for us at any time, but the results are not small, and the Eighth Route Army killed is definitely more than we have lost." ”

"More importantly, we have figured out the strength of the Eighth Route Army in the village."

"They have at least one battalion, not a company that we judged at the beginning."

"Judging from the humble position, in order to rescue those hostages, the Eighth Route Army has gathered all the nearby troops here, and it is not possible that the Eighth Route Army attacking by the two nearby commandos will also concentrate on us, otherwise there would not be so many people. As long as we fight this battle well and kill them, we will be able to wipe out the nearby Eighth Route Army and prevent future troubles. ”

"If we can achieve this, it will be worth the price."

"As for the next sweep of the garrison base area, as long as we kill enough Eighth Route Army tonight and achieve enough results, we don't need to participate at all."

"Yo Xi ......"

Shao Zuo's face looks a lot better.

"According to intelligence, we have to deal with only one company of the Eighth Route Army, and the main force plus their so-called guerrillas should not exceed three hundred, and the Eighth Route Army in the village is obviously more than three hundred, and we have just eliminated nearly three hundred people, so I judge that there are at least twice as many troops in the village."

"Your judgment is the best reason to explain the origin of these troops."

"So I decided to fight according to the analysis you just made, and at all costs, concentrate my forces to eat the Eighth Route Army in the village, and we will not participate in the next operation to attack the base area of the garrison regiment."

"There are so many people in the garrison regiment, and there are fewer after each unit on average, and there are definitely not as many as the Eighth Route Army that we are surrounding now."

"Eat a little, the results they have achieved will definitely be better than attacking their base areas."
