Chapter 981 - Mine Removal
"Boom" A violent explosion sounded near Haizi and his brothers, and bursts of air mixed with high-speed flying fragments stormed towards them, Haizi and his scouts had to keep rolling on the ground looking for cover to dodge, and a scout who was a little slower to dodge was hit by shrapnel, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
"Oh no, someone is hurt!" Haizi was suddenly stunned in his heart, thinking that he was going to be blocked by the devils here today, and the reinforcements had not yet arrived, but the devils on the opposite side were swarming up, could he stop so many devils from besieging him with just himself and his subordinates?
Haizi has little ammunition left for the weapons in their hands at this moment, and the devils who pounced on the opposite side are densely roaring and constantly surging up, seeing this, Haizi and his men fought and retreated, at this time, the mines and traps buried nearby took effect, with the sound of explosions one after another, countless devils were thrown high by the shock wave of the explosion, and were torn into countless pieces in mid-air, and then scattered like a goddess scattering flowers, and those ghost soldiers who did not die were hiding in all directions, Unexpectedly, he stepped into the pits full of sharpened branches and bamboos, and was pierced out of many transparent holes, and the miserable howls came one after another, endlessly, and the devils who rushed up were all caught in mine warfare and pit nets at this moment, and there was chaos and chaos.
Taking advantage of this rare gap, Hai Zi and his scouts withdrew with their wounded brothers, and ran into the Gui troops who rushed from the position to hear the news, these Gui troops were the independent regiment of Commander Li, and when they saw Hai Zi and their embarrassed appearance, they hurriedly asked: "How many devils are there in front?" ”
"There are quite a few, at least hundreds of little devils hiding in the barren grass in front!" Haizi gasped and said to Commander Li, originally he thought that he was going to explain here this time, but fortunately, Commander Li and they came over, now you can rest assured, the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment can completely block the onslaught of these devils, the independent regiment is not only outnumbered, but also relies on the strong fortifications nearby.
"The left wing of the first battalion is encircled, the second battalion is responsible for the right flank, and the third battalion and I rush up from the front to cover this little devil!" As soon as Commander Li heard that there were hundreds of little devils, he had the ambition to encircle and annihilate this group of devils again, although his independent regiment suffered a lot of losses in the last battle to encircle and annihilate the Fujii Brigade, but Commander Huang still gritted his teeth and transferred soldiers from other troops to fill the independent regiment, the number of soldiers is about 5,000, and there is also an artillery battalion equipment, which is definitely the elite main force in the Gui army, with a numerical advantage of more than ten times, it is more than enough to surround this group of devils rushing up!
The devil officer on the opposite side was actually not stupid, when he saw that so many men and horses poured out of the opposite position, and his own devils had lost a lot of mines and traps just now, and the reinforcements behind him could not keep up, and if he caught up, he would definitely be surrounded by the Chinese army in front of him, so he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and ordered: "Retreat!" ”
A large number of devils retreated towards the west of Songjiaao in an orderly manner, and when Commander Li saw that the devils were about to run, his spirit came up, and he wanted to order his subordinates to continue the pursuit, but was stopped by Haizi: "Don't chase rashly, the enemy situation in front is unknown, and you will accept it when you see it!" ”
Although Regiment Commander Li was reluctant in his heart, he still had a lot of respect for Han Fei's subordinates, especially in the last battle to encircle and annihilate the Fujii Brigade, Han Fei and his special forces were rampaging in the devil team, chopping melons and vegetables, quite shocking, and their Guijun brothers were also quite admired, especially when the position of their independent regiment was attacked by devils and was about to fall, the special forces came to the rescue, reversed the situation, saved the lives of many brothers, and won the battle, so after hearing that Haizi asked him to stop pursuing, He still had to order his men to stop the pursuit and hold on to the spot, and the sappers continued to lay mines and dig pits in the minefield in front of them to prevent the devils from attacking again!
After Han Fei received the report from Haizi, his brows furrowed, he was not so worried about other directions, although the Botian devils on the front were attacking fiercely, but those were in the open, and the fortifications on the front position had been reinforced by Captain Bao and them overnight, and they should be able to resist for a while, but Song Jiaao really had no bottom in his heart, the Fujii Brigade was wiped out here, and the head of the little devil would definitely not give up like this, now after receiving the news from Haizi and them, Han Fei felt that the devil probably still wanted to open a breakthrough here in Songjiaao, and with the reduction of the number of troops guarding Madang Fortress, it would be difficult to hold Songjiaao.
Han Fei hurriedly called Commander Zhang of the Jiangnan Detachment to explain the battle situation that happened here in Songjiaao, Commander Zhang analyzed the current situation, and believed that if there were no reinforcements in a short time, it would be impossible to hold Madang Fortress, and suggested that Han Fei immediately make a decision and retreat in an orderly manner! And their New Fourth Army was willing to stay behind and cover Han Fei's retreat.
Han Fei thanked Commander Zhang for taking the initiative to take over the task of breaking off the cover, to know how big the risk of staying to break the cover in this kind of battle situation is unfavorable to him, and there is a danger of being surrounded and eaten by devils at any time, but the Jiangnan detachment of the New Fourth Army stood up at this time and took the initiative to ask for cover after the break, this affectionate friendship made Han Fei very moved, compared to the intrigue between the Kuomintang troops, passing the buck to each other, and not saving him when he died, Han Fei was even more convinced that the way out for himself and his brothers was in the New Fourth Army, And he also wants Captain Bao to understand the sacrifices and contributions made by the Jiangnan Detachment of the New Fourth Army to protect Madang Fortress this time, as for whether they are willing to follow him to the New Fourth Army, then they can only resign themselves to fate, isn't there an old saying: "Plans are in people, and things are in heaven!" ”
And at this moment, Han Fei is waiting for a retreat order from the garrison headquarters above, before this retreat order is issued, he can't trade and retreat, otherwise he will have to be grabbed by Lao Jiang by the braids, and he and his subordinates, as well as the Jiang Defense Corps and the Gui Army troops, will be killed on the charge of escaping from the battle, his own personal honor and disgrace is not a big problem, and the Jiang Defense Corps and the Gui Army Commander Huang are completely different, he Han Fei doesn't want to kill the brothers who fought side by side with him, he must think of a way back for them.
Therefore, Han Fei waited for the results of Chen Wan'er's activities in Wuhan, that is to say, if the above retreat order did not come down for a day, then he, Captain Bao and Captain Huang would have to resist the devil in Madang for a day, even if they ran out of soldiers, they had to stay here.
