Chapter 1169: You Can't Have Both Fish and Bear's Paws (First Update!) )
Shao Zuo rushed over when he heard the news, and after asking about the situation, he comforted him with a serious face: "The chief is angry." ”
"Now that these rebels have fled into the mountains, and the Eighth Route Army, which has attacked us, is hiding nearby, they will definitely send troops to meet them."
"So we want to find them, and the chances of killing them are almost zero."
"I think that the top priority now is to return to Datong City, and everything else can be done safely later."
"The mines on the highway have proven that you were right at the beginning, sir, the Eighth Route Army wants to drag us here, and then gather and annihilate us."
The chief of staff took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and answered.
"We have to make a decision right away."
"Abandon the destruction of all heavy weapons and extra ammunition, advance lightly, abandon the road, take the small road and march back to Datong."
"Heavy artillery and cars are too dependent on the road, and the Eighth Route Army must have planted a large number of mines in front, just waiting for us to step on them."
"If we continue on the road with cars and heavy artillery, not only will we not be able to march fast, but we will also lose a lot of troops under the attack of mines."
"Now that the Imperial Army is gone, we can only rely on the Imperial Army to open the way to the front."
"In the face of a huge number of powerful mines, our remaining troops may be blown up before they reach Datong City."
The chief of staff's analysis was right, although Shao Zuo was very heartbroken and reluctant to take those heavy artillery and cars, he still supported it head-on: "The commander is wise, and he completely agrees with the destruction of those heavy artillery and cars, and gives up the highway and takes the small road back to Datong." ”
"But this matter is too big, and it is recommended to consult the division commander first, and then make a decision."
"There are only twelve heavy artillery pieces in the entire division, and four are lost in the Caoziling position, if these four are also blown up, then there will be four heavy artillery pieces left in Datong City."
The chief of staff immediately made a decisive decision: "Operator, immediately send a telegram to the division commander." ”
"We request that all heavy artillery and vehicles be destroyed, and that the troops advance lightly and take the small road back to Datong."
The Imperial Allied Army rebelled against the Japanese army on the battlefield, this scene was not only unexpected by the devils, but also by the reconnaissance company hiding nearby.
Seeing dozens of Imperial Allied troops rushing into the mountains, Chen Wei immediately dispatched a reconnaissance platoon to respond, and the remaining two platoons continued to keep an eye on the remaining devils.
He had a hunch that behind the loss of the puppet army, the Japanese army would definitely change its tactics.
Because they did not have enough troops left to send them to death, the Japanese army would never let their own people go to mine detection and use them as human minesweepers.
"Boom...... Boom ......"
Several explosions suddenly sounded on the highway, very violently.
Then Chen Wei saw billowing smoke rising on the road.
"It's not good, the little devil is going to break the wrist of the strong man again!" Chen Wei raised his binoculars and shouted at a glance, and then began to give orders.
"Tell the comrades not to bury any more mines."
"The devils are bombing artillery and cars, and they must be trying to abandon the highway and take the small road back to Datong to avoid the mines we have planted on the road."
The instructor's brow furrowed immediately.
An army of less than 100 people dragged the puppet army for six or seven hundred days, which was originally a difficult task to complete.
The mines and explosives package gave him hope of dragging down the Japanese puppet army.
Now the Japanese army has taken the initiative to abandon the road, which means that the mines will be useless for them.
And apart from landmines, the instructor couldn't think of any other way to drag down so many little devils.
Looking at Chen Wei, he asked with a worried face: "Company commander, without heavy artillery and cars, the devil can take the small road and march back to Datong." With their feet on their own, it is possible to walk from anywhere, and we have no chance of stopping them with mines. ”
"If you don't have a chance, you won't stop it." Chen Wei replied.
"What about the task given to us by the regimental commander?" The instructor thought he had misheard and hurriedly asked.
Chen Wei replied with a smile: "The purpose of the regiment commander asking us to hold back the Japanese army is to wait for the main force to come back and then destroy them." ”
"If we rely on our own strength to eliminate or severely damage this little devil, even if we don't hold them back, then we will complete the mission."
The instructor's eyes immediately widened, and he asked with a look of disbelief: "Just rely on our reconnaissance company to have less than 100 people, and we have severely damaged more than 500 little devils." ”
"Company commander, are you scared and confused!"
"We can't even hold them back, how can we hit them hard."
Chen Wei replied confidently: "To deal with the current little devils, it is easier to hit them harder than to drag them down." ”
"The Japanese gave up their heavy weapons and took the path, they could indeed avoid the mines we had planted on the road, and they could also stop the mines because we couldn't judge the path of the Japanese army's march, but they ignored a problem."
"The terrain of the mountain roads is more complex, which is more conducive to our concealment and sneak attacks."
"Order: From now on, the reconnaissance company will take the infantry squad as a unit, fight separately, and shoot the remaining little devils at all costs."
"We have nearly 100 people, and there are more than 500 devils, and one person shoots a cold gun to kill five enemies, and the little devil is done."
"The guard squad is divided into two, the instructor you take half of the squad, and I take half of the infantry squad, and also participate in the operation."
"The Japanese army must be in a hurry to withdraw to Datong City, otherwise it would not have even blown up heavy artillery."
"So in the next operation, there is an eighty percent chance that they will ignore our sneak attack, march in a hurry, and rush back to Datong City in the shortest possible time."
"We must seize the opportunity to kill and injure them in large numbers."
The instructor couldn't think of any other way, so he could only nod in agreement: "Yes!" ”
"There are a lot of good seedlings among the dozens of puppet armies we just received."
"They dare to rebel against the little devils on the battlefield, which shows that they have the courage to kill the devils, and the only thing they lack is our ideological guidance."
"We can take advantage of the fact that the devils have not yet set off, and select some people from among them to temporarily replenish the reconnaissance company and go with us to kill the devils."
"One more person, one more gun, and one more devil on the battlefield can kill one or two more devils."
"I agree......" Chen Wei nodded in agreement.
Those dozens of puppet soldiers dared to rebel against the little devils on the battlefield, which was indeed commendable, and Chen Wei was impressed by them.
On the highway, the chief of staff was very heartbroken to watch the cars being destroyed and then turning into large fireballs and billowing smoke.
Especially when I saw the heavy artillery and field artillery being blown up, the pain in my heart was like a knife cut.
But he couldn't help it.
You can't have it both ways.
If you want to bring the more than 500 imperial troops under your command back to Datong City, these heavy weapons must be abandoned.
Throw the weapon to the Eighth Route Army, let the Eighth Route Army capture it and attack the Imperial Army in turn, it is better to blow it up directly.
"Sir, the weapons and ammunition that I didn't take away have been blown up, and the extra ammunition will be distributed to each soldier without affecting the march." Shao Zuo lowered his head and reported, his face full of heartache.
"Retreat!" The chief of staff put away the heartache on his face and ordered with a serious face.
"The 4th Squadron draws an infantry squad to the front, with the artillery in the center. After the rest of the infantry, we took a small road and marched back to Datong City. ”
