Chapter 50: Retreat

It is a dilemma to continue to fight or to preserve the strength and retreat, the Japanese puppet army under his command has suffered heavy casualties, and half of the position has been lost, and the opponent's men are fighting more and more, and the firepower does not have the slightest sense of stopping. But if you retreat now, not to mention that the boss can't spare yourself, even the friendly troops who are coming may hate themselves to death, the head of the ghost ghost is almost two big, after the thunderous artillery fire covers his artillery position, the ghost ghost village finally made up his mind to shrink the position, ready to concentrate firepower to open a bloody road to withdraw to Wuxiang.

"Your Excellency Nakasa, the other party's offensive has stopped, listen, their machine guns have also stopped" Sure enough, the Browning machine gun, which had been sounding for half a night, finally stopped, and while the officers under him were secretly relieved with joy on their faces, the ghost of the village as the commander was worried. The opponent's machine gun stopped firing, but its own artillery was also lost, at this time the sky had already appeared white, and after the sky was bright, he could not stop the thunder attack without long-range firepower.

When the ghost was pondering the thunder, Zhao Zhi was also squatting in the trench and arranging the next move, "Attack after dawn and give them the way to retreat to the cross slope, Tang Lei, you take the snipers to ambush the officers and machine gunners who killed them along the way, and opening the way does not mean letting them swagger away." Everyone remembers that there are still troops of the Eighth Route Army ambushed there on the cross slope, and as long as the Japanese puppet army in Wuxiang dares to retreat and take the cross slope, their end will come."

It took several hours for Zhao Zhi and them to capture the right flank position of the Japanese puppet army and the outer trenches in front of them, and after the temporary counterattack of the imperial army in the right flank position, the Japanese puppet army was compressed to the left flank and rear of the position, and the number of people was reduced from more than 2,000 to just over 1,500. Killed half of the puppet army, Zhao Zhi's side also suffered a lot of casualties, in addition to more than 20 casualties among the mercenary troops, and more than 200 casualties in the Jewish infantry company that served as auxiliary missions and feints, if it weren't for the concentrated fire of the machine guns, I am afraid they would have to pay hundreds of lives if they wanted to take the right flank position.

The Jewish soldiers with weapons moved forward along the trenches dug by the Japanese puppet army, although the Japanese puppet army, which had lost the support of artillery fire, found that the thunder was arranging troops, but there was no way to stop it, they still had light and heavy machine guns in their hands, but they did not dare to shoot, as long as the Japanese machine guns fired, they were designated to be shot by the snipers of the other side. "Platoon commander, what should I do? Those big noses are only separated from us by a trench, and if we really start fighting, what can we do? Looking at the steel helmets and black muzzles that flashed from time to time in the trenches on the opposite side, the Imperial Allied Army who confronted them first softened their legs and feet.

"Fuck, be quiet, if the Japanese hear it, even my head won't be saved" The platoon commander of the Imperial Allied Army, who was squatting in the trench and smoking, scolded the soldiers in his platoon, but there was a hint of sympathy in his eyes. The right flank position was broken through by the enemy two hours ago, and the Imperial Allied Army stationed on the right flank position was completely annihilated, and nearly 400 Imperial Allied troops did not withdraw, but most of the Japanese troops originally stationed on the right flank withdrew.

"Platoon commander, platoon commander, come and see, come and see" The soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who served as the guard post suddenly screamed in shock, and the panicked Imperial Troops in the trenches looked sideways. The platoon commander of the Imperial Association Army, who was called up by his soldiers, rubbed his sour eyes and looked at everyone's line of sight, "My mother" After the platoon commander of the Imperial Association Army saw clearly what his subordinates were looking at, he couldn't help but feel numb and burst into a cold sweat, the thunder of the dog day is really poisonous.

In the trench that had been occupied by the big nose of thunder, there were a few guys in the costumes of the Imperial Allied Army, looking at the figure of the leader, it was not Huang Mazi, the squadron leader of the Imperial Allied Army who had been completely wiped out on the right flank position. Along with Huang Mazi appeared in the trench were several other officers of the Imperial Army, who, like Huang Mazi, had been declared dead by the Japanese on the right flank. After just one glance, the platoon commander of the Imperial Association Army, who was numb, thought that this was a thunderous psychological offensive.

Take out the officers of the Imperial Allied Army who have been declared dead by the Japanese army, and don't say anything, just stand there and let everyone see, I believe that anyone who still has eyes and brains will understand what this means. Break the fighting spirit and military spirit of the Imperial Army, this is the intention of Thunder's move, half of the 1,500 people on the current position are the Imperial Army, as long as there is infighting between the Imperial Army and the Japanese army, Thunder can take advantage of the weakness, if the Imperial Army can lay down its arms and surrender on its own initiative, then the Thunder's advantage can be regarded as big.

"Brothers, I am Huang Changliang of the second squadron, the Japanese in the dog day threw us away and ran away, and bombed us with mortars, among the more than 300 brothers killed in the right flank position, at least more than half were killed by Japanese mortars" Huang Mazi's voice with a strong hatred sounded leisurely, and the Japanese puppet soldiers in the startled trenches all put on a posture of waiting for the battle, but those imperial troops were paying attention to what Huang Mazi was saying, and those Japanese soldiers were just engrossed in aiming their guns at the front.

"Brothers, the little devils can't stand it, it was only the Thunder vanguard troops who exchanged fire with us last night, and there are still thousands of people on their side who haven't made a move, and there are more machine guns and small cannons. Think about those brothers who died on the right-wing position, the little devil is the most unbelievable, you all think about what I said, don't let the Japanese also use you as cannon fodder" I don't know how much Huang Mazi hates the Japanese army, the hoarse voice echoed in the open ground between the two sides of the confrontation, making the Imperial Allied Army panic and the Japanese Army uneasy.

"Despicable" In the face of Thunder's psychological offensive, the ghost can only retaliate with despicability, in fact, he can neither make radical moves against the Imperial Allied Army on the battlefield now, nor can he launch a counterattack against Thunder. The sky is getting brighter, and the thunder has formed a siege on the Wuxiang Japanese puppet army, and the Wuxiang Japanese puppet army, which has lost the long-range firepower of mortars and one-third machine guns, has long lost its fighting spirit and dares to face the thunder. The decision to retreat was made, but there were still more than 400 wounded soldiers on his position, many of whom had lost the ability to move, and whether to abandon them or not, the Ghost Dead was once again faced with a choice.

"Zhongzuo, the spearhead we sent out is back" The blackened adjutant came over with the spearhead soldier Juncao, looking at the meaning on Juncao's face and being excited, the ghost who was originally lonely suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the cover brought back by the spearhead soldiers is good news. "Nakasa, I took a squad of spearheads to search north along our left flank, and found that the enemy troops in the direction of the cross slope were the smallest, their number was about 200, but they were equipped with 4 heavy machine guns, perhaps because of these heavy machine guns, the enemy deployed in that direction will have so few manpower"

It was good news, as the ghost had selectively left the matter of the four heavy machine guns behind and focused only on the fact that the enemy army was only about 200 men. At present, he can command about 1,500 soldiers, and after putting away the wounded who have lost their ability to fight, there are actually about 1,200 people who are capable of fighting, and he still has a dozen light and heavy machine guns and some grenadiers in his hands, so it should not be a problem to concentrate fire on breaking through the defense line where only 200 people are stationed.

"Draw out the 200 Imperial Allied Army to cooperate with those wounded who can't evacuate by themselves, after the break, before we tear the hole, the troops responsible for the broken back can't retreat" The ghost near the village who made a decision immediately issued an order to break through and retreat, and unfortunately the 200 Imperial Allied Army that Huang Mazi said was left to confront the thunder, and they were broken off with those wounded soldiers who lost their ability to move. "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" The only few grenadiers they had left began to bombard the defense line arranged by Thunder in the direction of the cross slope, just as the Ghost Hells thought that as soon as the grenadiers on his side fired, the same artillery fire came over, but fortunately, the grenadiers moved flexibly, and the artillery fire of the Thunder was empty.

"Rush over, only by rushing past can we live" The shirtless soldier Cao led his soldiers and began to charge, which is the key to life and death, as long as they break through this 200-person defensive line, they can return to Wuxiang through the cross slope. The machine guns of the Japanese army pressed down on the ground spewed a rain of bullets, providing fire support for the charging soldiers, and the machine guns of the "boom" and "boom" thunder were dumb, and in the continuous bombardment of the grenadiers, the defense line of 200 people of the thunder began to break down, and the Japanese army in Wuxiang finally opened the road to the cross slope.

"Zhongzuo go quickly, we left the 200 Imperial Allied Army in charge of the broken back, and the troops arranged by Thunder on the front have already crossed our defense line" The adjutant of the Ghost Shadow Near Shrine stuffed an ordinary soldier's military uniform into the hand of the Ghost Shadow Near Passage, and motioned to the Ghost Shadow Near Shrine who was Nakasa to quickly change his clothes and retreat in the large army. Naturally, he refused to do so, but he couldn't stand the insistence of the adjutant and the guards, and after some pushing, the ghost had no choice but to change into the military uniform of an ordinary soldier, and was escorted by the adjutant and the guards to join the retreat among the soldiers.

After Huang Mazi's appearance, the desperate 200 Imperial Allied Army, who were used as cannon fodder by the Japanese army, killed all the wounded Japanese soldiers on the position, and the thunderous big-nosed Jewish soldiers went to their defensive line. "Continue the pursuit, leave a few people to watch them" The pursuit battle is Thunder's favorite, and after taking the Imperial Allied Army's defense line without firing a single shot, the officers of the Jewish Company continued to expand their success, chasing the retreating Japanese troops from behind like sheep, forcing them in the direction of the cross slope.
