Chapter 1127: Retreat North
Booming explosions and gunfire continued to sound in the path of the devils, but as the brigade of devils outflanked and detoured, the brethren on the blocking position would soon be completely annihilated.
The brethren in these blocking positions no longer had a front or rear, they were small units fighting independently, and they were nailed to their respective positions like nails until they were all killed.
"Report, the observation post has spotted the vanguard of the devils a mile outside of our position."
Although the officers and soldiers of the third battalion paid a heavy price, the number of devil soldiers was too many, and they tried their best, but they still couldn't stop the devils from advancing north step by step.
Hearing that the devil appeared a mile away from them, the face of Shen Biao, the commander of the third battalion, was full of pain.
He led the battalion headquarters to guard the last position of the entire deep defense line, and now that the devil had appeared a mile away from them, it meant that all the blocking positions in front of him had been lost.
The position was lost, but none of the brothers retreated alive, and it goes without saying that all the brothers lived and died with the position.
The three battalions of them fought hard with the first battalion in the last battle of the head of the realm, and now the troops are about to run out again, Shen Biao's heart is full of guilt.
"I can't live with the brethren......"
Looking at the sky shrouded in gunsmoke in the south, Shen Biao's eyes were filled with tears, and his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he was choked up unspeakably.
"Brothers, don't be sad, battalion commander, maybe they're waiting for us at the front." The battalion staff officer no longer looked at the map, there was no need for it now, the devil had already arrived, and he had to fight to the death.
"How many more of us?" Soon, Shen Biao wiped his eyes, recovered his emotions, and asked the staff officer.
The staff officer replied: "Counting the men and orderlies, there are only about 50 heads when they are full."
The whole reinforced battalion was fought like this, and everyone's hearts were like knives, but this was the battlefield, and there was no mercy at all.
"Battalion commander, should we ask Commander Yang for instructions, and we will give up the Realm Head?" An officer couldn't help but suggest.
"Give up the Realm Leader now, is it so worthy of so many of our dead brothers!" An officer immediately jumped up and retorted loudly.
"But if we don't withdraw now, our battalion will be exhausted! Battalion commander, save some seeds for our battalion. The brother who had suggested that he give up the head of the realm said bitterly.
Battalion Commander Shen Biao's heart was also uncomfortable, but he knew that since he had taken the next task of blocking the attack, he would not be allowed to retreat.
"Let the militia teams cover the evacuation of the people, and the rest of our brothers who want to leave can leave now, and those who are willing to stay will retreat to the town with me to defend to the death, even if there is still one person alive, we can't let the little devil cross the line and take a step!"
The commander of the third battalion, Shen Biao, is now only praying in his heart that the reinforcements going south can arrive in time for reinforcements, otherwise their three battalions will really be exhausted.
Seeing that the battalion commander Shen Biao was so decisive, he suggested that the officer who gave up the head of the realm should not grab his gun, and thought viciously: "Since this is the case, then let's fight, fight one and count one, fight two to earn one!"
"If the country survives, I will die!" The brothers grabbed their guns and roared.
Soon, Shen Biao, the commander of the third battalion, retreated into Jieshou Town with the remaining brothers, and the people had been notified to go out of the town to hide.
While Shen Biao and the others were busy looking for shooting positions in Jieshou Town, some brothers took Shen Biao's order and went to find the commanders of the militia units.
"The head of the realm is about to be unable to hold it, our battalion commander asked your militia to cover the people's retreat to the north!" The herald gasped and gave the order to the militia unit responsible for protecting the people.
A large number of people who had withdrawn from the Boundary Leader did not go too far from the Boundary Chief, and they were all hidden in some woods, and the militia were responsible for guarding the surrounding area.
Although everyone knows that the little devil is menacing this time, everyone is full of confidence in the North Jiangsu team, that is, as long as the North Jiangsu team is there, they will definitely be able to defeat the devil, and they will be able to go home soon.
But these people have forgotten that the Northern Jiangsu Corps is also a human being, not a god, and they cannot guarantee that they will always win the battle.
"So? You can't stop the devils? Hearing that they were to retreat further north immediately, the militia detachment leader Zhang Leopard's face was full of disbelief.
He knows the strength of the Northern Jiangsu Corps, the soldiers are strong and strong, and every time he beats the little devil to the ground, how can he not be a devil this time, he doesn't believe it.
"Let me tell you the truth, our main force will go to the northern front to attack Baoying, and there will be a battalion in the south." Seeing Zhang Leopard, they didn't believe it, and the brother who gave the order had to spit out the truth.
Yang Ling and they went south to attack Gaoyou with great fanfare, but the main force advanced north at night, because it was a secret military operation, so the people were still in the dark, thinking that the northern Jiangsu army was on the southern front.
"What? Just one battalion! Hearing that there was only one battalion fighting with the devils on the southern front, Zhang Leopard immediately jumped up.
"Damn, I said that I was so defeated, and my feelings were so good." Zhang Leopard's heart was suddenly in turmoil.
"Baoying has been captured by us, covering the people to retreat to Baoying, and it is safe over there now."
"Let's go, let's go." Zhang Leopard's face was full of panic, a battalion would definitely not be able to stop the devil for long, if he didn't leave now, it would be too late.
"Tell the brethren and tell the big guys not to hide, the devil is coming, run north! If you don't run, you'll be caught up by the devil! Zhang Leopard shouted.
And the people who were hiding here and waiting for the battle to finish were also in a mess, so the devil suddenly hit Baoying, why was the Northern Jiangsu Army defeated?
But before they could figure it out, they saw that the crowd began to move northward, and the people, out of fear, followed the militia to the north.
"Hey, where are you going?" Zhang Leopard took two steps and saw the herald turn and go back the way he came, and hurriedly grabbed the brother and asked.
"Our battalion commander is still blocking the devils in the town, my order has arrived, I have to go back!" The brother spoke.
"Little brother, don't go back, it's a death if you go back, come with us." Zhang Leopard kindly persuaded.
The brother shook his head and said, "I am a soldier, how can I escape and become a deserter, you should leave quickly, we can still block for a while."
After the brother finished speaking, he rushed back to the capital town of Jieshou without looking back.
"Boss, what are we going to do?"
Seeing that this brother went back without hesitation, these militiamen who were about to retreat north all set their eyes on their detachment leader Zhang Baozi.
"What are you doing, stay here and wait to die, let's go." After thinking about it, Zhang Baozi prepared to retreat north with his brothers and the people.
