Chapter 108: Disperse and break out
Just do it.
In the evening of the same day, the Separate Regiment began to organize a retreat.
Distribute ammunition, distribute all the remaining ammunition to the soldiers, prepare for the breakthrough, although the reserves of the city defense for nearly a month have been almost consumed, but mainly artillery shells, bullets and grenades are still very sufficient, the soldiers of the whole regiment who can fight still have more than 150 rounds of ammunition per capita, plus five German large tumors.
The cooking squads of each company rushed to prepare at least five days' worth of dry rations for each soldier.
At the same time, burying part of the baggage that could not be carried, and the seriously wounded on the back of a big mule, Huang Baowang led the transport team to carry food and other necessary materials, and took advantage of the cover of night to drive in the direction of Zhao Jiayu.
In order to cover the convoy, Li Yunlong also organized people to launch a night attack, which attracted the attention of the devils, coupled with the capacity and speed of the big mules, the devils did not notice the departure of the convoy.
The group of civilians who stayed behind to help also left with the convoy.
After completing this, Li Yunlong arranged for the soldiers to rest and reserve their strength for tomorrow's retreat.
"Tomorrow, we have to block the devil for a while, and then break through."
Grand Master Li's tone was relaxed.
"The speed of the transport team and the common people is relatively slow, and there is still a large plain in the direction of Zhao Jiayu after passing through the mountains behind Shou County, so we have to buy them a little more time to transfer."
"Yes, we have to buy time for the people and the convoy to transfer."
Zhao Gang agreed.
This is important.
The transport team led by Huang Baowang carried hundreds of large mules, and the camels on them carried not only the seriously wounded, but also a large amount of grain and other materials, which were the guarantee for the troops to be stationed in Zhao Jiayu later.
This year's food shortage, all parts of the country are uncomfortable, the people themselves are living a miserable life, Zhao Jiayu's side is similar, after this sweep, the base area is even more sad, Zhao Jiayu's side simply can't have enough food to supply the independent regiment, and the materials promised by Boss Chen don't know when they will arrive, so the independent regiment must reserve a part of the food emergency.
Not to mention, there are thousands of ordinary people.
"Hold out for another day tomorrow and retreat at night."
Li Yunlong made a decision.
"Let's go back and rest, from tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't have a good night's sleep."
Zhao Gang finally added.
·····
The next day, in the wee hours of the morning.
Somewhere northwest of Jin.
Kong Jie was marching with the new second regiment.
In this sweep, the scale of the forces used by the devils can be called history, but it has also lasted for a long time, and it has lasted for a month so far, and there is still no sign of stopping.
At this time, all the people he was responsible for had been transferred, and his new second regiment was only fifty miles away from its final destination, a mountainous area in the northwest of Shanxi.
Today, as long as you break through the blockade line of the devils in front of you, you can enter the safe area, and as long as you enter the dense forest and mountainous area, you can calmly deal with the devil's attack.
It's just...
Let's click, let's click...
Smoking the pipe in his mouth, spitting clouds and mist, the head of the Kong regiment looked solemn.
The line of defense at the front is not a problem.
According to the reconnaissance of the reconnaissance soldiers, there is only one devil squadron and more than 100 puppet troops defending in front, even if the new second regiment has suffered huge losses and lost nearly half of its personnel, but it is not something that these devils and puppet troops can stop. It's a breeze to break through this line of defense.
But here's the thing.
Behind the new second regiment, there were still two brigades of devil chasers, and after a month of consumption, his ammunition was really running out, and the equipment was also seriously damaged, there was only one 82 mortars left, one 60 mortars, and only about 20 shells left, and there were not many bullets left. Moreover, after being chased by devils for a month, the physical strength of the soldiers has decreased seriously, and their morale has decreased more or less significantly.
The cost is not much, so the blockade circle of the devils in front will naturally break through slowly.
If you break through and are caught up by the devils behind, or even before you break the blockade, you will be caught by the devils behind, it will be a big trouble.
But now the new 2nd Regiment does not have the strength to organize troops to defend and attack at the same time.
"Fuck..."
Gritting his teeth, Captain Kong looked fiercely, put away his pipe, and lifted the large blade that never left his body
"Someone."
He called the correspondent and summoned the battalion and company commanders to a meeting, during which he said in the same fierce tone:
"Transfer the second battalion in the back back, in addition, you are also ready, early tomorrow morning, immediately launch an attack on the devil blockade line in front, and directly launch a group attack."
"After breaking through the devil's defensive line, each company marched freely and assembled in the predetermined mountainous area."
Since there is not enough time and strength, then fight hard, only before the chasing troops behind the devil come, break through the blockade line in front of you, and quickly enter the mountainous area, there is a glimmer of life, Kong Jie is very clear about the current situation.
Therefore, he directly dropped the second battalion, which was originally going to block the pursuit of the devils, and fought against the water.
"Yes."
The battalion and company commanders were also aware of the situation.
After the meeting, Kong Jie scolded again, baring his teeth:
"Damn, the little devil really looks up to me, and actually sent two full brigades to attack the labor-management base area."
Thinking of this, Kong Jie felt unhappy.
His new second regiment is indeed strong, and he has obtained a lot of weapons and ammunition on Li Yunlong's side, and its strength is very strong, but it is only comparable to an ordinary devil brigade, or even a little weaker, after all, the formation time is too short, and the little devil is good, directly mobilize 2,000 devils plus 1,000 puppet troops to attack his base area, and even have a mountain artillery squadron.
Although they finally broke through the blockade of the devils, the troops suffered heavy losses in this battle, and many heavy weapons were lost.
"Thirty-Seven Wing? This feud was written down by labor and management. ”
Kong Jie took out his pipe again, and smoked it with a click, his mouth still baring his teeth and cursing.
He knew what kind of unit the devil soldiers who had been chasing him for more than half a month behind him were, so he secretly wrote it down in his heart, and was ready to find time to find the field.
"Commander."
"Commander."
Behind him, the voice of the second battalion commander was heard.
"What's the matter?"
"Flustered?"
Kong Jie frowned, and was very unhappy with the somewhat flustered tone of his second battalion commander.
It's already like this, what else can be so flustered? Even if the devils in the back hit it now, it's a big deal to carry the bayonet and fight hard, it's not like I haven't done it before.
Who is afraid of death?
"Regiment commander, the reconnaissance fighters I sent out reported that we were chasing the devils along the road to the northeast, and the speed was quite fast, and the heavy weapons were also taken away."
The second battalion commander's tone was a little confused.
"Huh?"
Kong Jie's eyebrows suddenly furrowed.
"Northeast?"
He took out the map, his finger extended northeast along the road, and finally his finger stopped on a county seat:
"Shou County..."
Kong Jie's tone was gloomy and uncertain.
Shou County is Li Yunlong's territory, and it is said that Li Yunlong restrained 10,000 devils there.
"Commander, what about us?"
The commander of the second battalion was also very aware of this matter, and the devils who were pursuing them suddenly retreated, marching in the direction of Shou County, with heavy weapons, it was obvious that they were going to deal with Shou County, and the road was leading at a glance.
"Continue as planned."
Kong Jie gritted his teeth.
Although he didn't know what happened to Li Yunlong, he was also unable to protect himself at this time.
'Damn, does labor owe him another favor?' ’
Kong Jie finally scolded again.
······
Early in the morning.
Between the forests behind Shou County.
The two cavalry scouts quickly ran into the headquarters of the independent regiment in the rear of Shou County, because the action was too violent, when they dismounted, some soldiers even threw themselves directly on the ground, ignoring the pain, this soldier even ran into the underground bunker.
"What?"
"The two devil wings are approaching Shou County?"
After hearing the report of the two reconnaissance fighters, Zhao Gang directly lost his temper and was shocked.
A group of battalion commanders, including Zhang Dabiao and Sun Desheng, looked solemnly, and then accompanied by Political Commissar Zhao, they all looked at the backbone of the independent regiment, Li Yunlong and Li Da.
The devils of the two wings, that is, about 6,000, is twice as many as the current independent regiment, even if it is not full, it is at least 5,000 people, plus the devils outside are at least more than 6,000, and the independent regiment is only 3,000 soldiers.
The ratio of troops is four to one.
At this time, Li Yunlong's expression was unusually calm, as if he was not facing an army of more than 10,000 devils, but just a group of puppet troops.
"How long does it take for the devil to arrive in Shou County?"
"Where is the location?"
Li Yunlong asked in a calm tone.
"Arrived in Shou County at about noon today, a wing came from the direction of Taiyuan, and the other came from the direction of Jiaoxian." The scout soldier replied fluently, and the calmness of the regiment commander kept the scout soldier from panicking.
"In other words, the two wings of the devil are showing the momentum of two wings and rushing towards us."
Li Yunlong summed up the current situation.
At this time, suddenly, boom·· There was a loud bang, accompanied by a slight shaking, during which the dense cannonballs rang out, and everyone's faces changed in unison again.
"This is the 240 heavy gun, it looks like the devils are going to attack."
Zhang Dabiao's tone was solemn.
The devil hadn't used that 240 heavy gun for a long time, because the shells were almost used up, but this time it was suddenly taken out, which meant that with the arrival of reinforcements, the devil was ready to launch a general attack.
"Where are the evacuated civilians and convoys now?"
Li Yunlong's tone remained the same.
"The convoy departed at eleven o'clock in the evening, and now they should have arrived..."
Zhang Dabiao looked at the watch in his hand, at this time, the watch was broken because of the long-term battle, the surface lens was broken, he wiped it to see the time, and calculated the location of the transport team:
"Forty-seven kilometers away, it should continue to move for now, according to the plan, it will not rest until two o'clock in the afternoon at a place in Kuzhu Village, and then quickly cross the plain at night."
From Shou County to the vicinity of the intended target Zhao Jiayu, it is necessary to pass through a large plain area.
"Continue with the scheduled plan."
Li Yunlong exhaled:
"Continue to hold on for four hours, before the arrival of the devil's reinforcements, take the company as a unit, disperse and break through, and the heavy equipment that can't be taken away can be directly abandoned, and tell the soldiers that as long as people survive, weapons and ammunition will be available in the future."
"Scattered Breakout..."
Zhao Gang was stunned for a moment, and his tone was hesitant.
The troops are scattered, and they are easy to be broken by the devils one by one, and twisted into a rope can be like a drill bit, drilled out from one point.
After looking around, Li Yunlong explained the reason for his decision:
"Hold out for four hours to avoid the devil's reinforcements diverting and intercepting, and then retreat before the devil's combined forces attack."
"The rear of Shou County is a continuous mountainous area, not suitable for a large army march, now the devil has a reconnaissance plane again, the large army march can not avoid the devil's sight, out of this mountainous area there is a large plain, there is a devil's blockade line on the plain, the devil in the plain area can be faster than us, plus the enemy and our forces are four to one, and the concentrated breakthrough is looking for death."
"But the small group of troops is highly mobile, and they can easily penetrate through mountain roads, and our terrain is more familiar than that of devils."
"Only by dispersing and breaking through can there be a chance."
"Moreover, dispersing the breakout can also disperse the strength of the devils, and the little devils will definitely disperse in the mountains to pursue in large groups, which can further buy time for the transport team."
"Okay."
Political Commissar Zhao finally agreed.
"Let's go, go to the front."
After deciding on the tactics, Grand Master Li was not verbose, and drew twenty rounds of barge guns and prepared to go to the front line in person.
Behind him, the monk had two sand desert eagles pinned to his waist, a bullet belt full of bullets on his back, a dry food bag with dry food, and a red tassel gun with ash rod in his hand, with an expression of impatience on his face.
Zhao Gang inserted the ten-round barge gun into his waist, and then took out a brand-new Mauser sniper rifle with a quadruple scope, he pulled the bolt, checked the magazine and scope, and the crisp sound of the bolt made the current political commissar Zhao sharp.
Zhang Dabiao then carried two 20-round shell guns around his waist, and in addition to a whole row of magazines, he also wrapped three bullet belts. He even carried a ghost-headed knife in his hand.
On the position, in the anti-artillery hole, Wang Xikui was wiping his sniper rifle and cleaning up the debris of the dirt that had just been stained.
The order was passed quickly.
On the side of the dirt road at the rear of Shou County, Sun Desheng, who had retreated after four hours, opened his throat:
"Cavalry battalion, assemble."
