The captain spent another two minutes to learn about the latest battle situation on the front line from the messenger, and his mood became even worse.

The opponent is equipped with at least six tanks, and there are a large number of armored vehicles and cavalry behind the tank to cooperate in combat. If you take action, you will kill three of your own tanks and continue to assault the infantry behind the tanks.

Without anti-tank weapons and without a perfect fortification, both tanks and cavalry can pose a fatal threat to infantry.

The more he thought about it, the more he became more and more scared he quickly added an order to his subordinates: "Our retreat speed must be accelerated, and we must never let the enemy's chariot troops and cavalry troops chase us!"

"Immediately send a telegram to the headquarters: We were fooled. The Eighth Route Army ambushed a large number of chariot troops and cavalry troops on the way we must reinforce Jingxing County..."

"They took action and destroyed three chariots of our army..."

"Travel the road with tanks and armored vehicles, and the cavalry troops then covered up and launched an assault on the reinforcements..."

"In order to avoid greater losses, our department decided to stop reinforcement of Jingxing County and march back to Shimen..."

Six tanks took the lead, and armored vehicles followed, some cavalry followed behind to eliminate the remaining enemies, and some cavalry divided into two commandos to conquer the Japanese on the road.

Under the full pursuit of the National Salvation Army, the captain retreated less than a kilometer, and the guards running beside him began to suffer casualties.

The captain was sitting in the co-pilot of the armored vehicle. Under the protection of the protective steel plate, the machine gun bullets from behind him could not threaten his safety for the time being.

But if he can't get rid of the armored battalion's pursuit soon, and when the tank gun has a chance to fire, the result will be unpredictable.

"Captain, the enemy's chariot troops are catching up... The soldiers have been rushing for two hours, and everyone is very tired and can't escape the chariot even if they fight their lives... We must find a way to stop them, otherwise everyone in the reinforcements will not be able to escape their pursuit..." A squadron leader ran to the squadron leader to report.

In the battle just now, a full squadron under his command was chased by the chariot troops, and now there is less than half of the squadron left. If the captain cannot find a way to break the deadlock as soon as possible, in just a few minutes, the remaining half of the squadron will be killed by the enemy.

The squadron leader did not want to be a commander without a single person, nor did he want to die here, so he could only complain to the captain.

An explosion suddenly sounded next to the armored vehicle. A tank cannon shell flying towards the armored vehicle fell apart and just hit the squadron leader.

In the splashing flames, the squadron leader was blown away with a frightened expression. The shells hit the armored vehicle's protective armor, making a crisp metal impact sound.

The captain was frightened and quickly ordered the driver: "The enemy chariot troops are catching up, and they are quickly thrown away!"

The driver was also very anxious, and cold sweat kept coming out, but he did not dare to slam the accelerator and replied with a frustration: "Sir, the road is full of retreating imperial troops and imperial assistant troops. They are in front of us, so we can't speed up at all!"

The captain then saw the retreating troops that had not paid much attention to them directly in front of him.

The troops of nearly two thousand people were all crowded on the road and retreated wildly. Three tanks were blocked in the middle of the crowd and could only retreat with the flow of people. They really couldn't speed up.

Unless he can ignore his subordinates' lives and death, order the armored vehicle to crash directly.

But as long as the captain is not a fool, he will not give such a stupid order.

Once he does this, he will be extinguished from his own troops.

Even if you return to Shimen alive, your prestige in front of your subordinates will become gone, and you may even be timid and slaughtered your subordinates at will. At that time, the honors and status you have gained for half your life will be destroyed, and you may even be sent to the military court...

Therefore, the plan to rely on armored vehicles to speed up to get rid of the pursuers had to die before it even began.

In order to save his life, the captain could only retreat and order: "The chariot squadron stopped moving forward, I would like to retreat on foot..."

After jumping off the chariot, he continued to order: "The chariot squadron and the one or two squadrons behind him were all left behind, and he would hold the enemy's pursuit for at least ten minutes at all costs. The other troops would continue to retreat!"

The deputy captain was stunned by this decision and quickly reminded: "Captain thinks twice, the chariot squadron has always been the commander's heart. He has lost three vehicles just now. If we lose the remaining three vehicles, the commander will definitely be furious!"

"I think it's enough to leave one or two squadrons behind the palace. Three chariots continue to retreat with us!"

The captain knew the deputy's concerns and knew that he would anger the commander if he did this, but he could not think of a way to achieve the best of both worlds, so he could only bite the bullet and order.

"Execute the order: the enemy who pursues us is equipped with a large number of chariots, and the cavalry forces cooperate with the assault. If there are no heavy weapons to cooperate with the combat, no matter how many infantry we leave, it will be killed and it is impossible to stop the pursuers."

"Now only chariots can join the war immediately, threaten the safety of the pursuers, block them, and give us more minutes to retreat!"

"If we don't leave behind the chariot troops, the more than 2,000 remaining troops on the highway will be wiped out by the pursuers, and the three chariots will still not be able to return to the stone gate!"

"Leaving the rear of the chariot may also allow many soldiers to escape from the pursuit and return to the stone gate alive!"

"As for the Commander, I believe that he will understand our decision after knowing the situation on the battlefield!"

In a tank compartment of the Armored Battalion, Fang Deshan was observing the Japanese in front of him through the lookout.

As soon as the Japanese had three tanks left in their sight, he ordered a tank to shoot together, trying to destroy them on the other side's retreat and not give him a chance to turn around and fight back.

But his artillery was too weak, and six tank guns shot two rounds of shells in a row but failed to hit the target. Fang Deshan was so anxious that he cursed in the carriage.

"Damn it, have you given dogs food for daily training? Stabilize me for whatever you do when you go, don't tremble with your hands, aim and then fire..."

"Battery Commander, the Japanese tank troops have turned around, as if they are going to block us head-on..." The tank driver's report suddenly sounded in Fang Deshan's ears.

Through the lookout, Fang Deshan saw that the Japanese's only tank had turned around and was turning the tank gun to find the target of attack.

The half-baked gunner in his hand is definitely not as good as the Japanese gunner.

They will not emptie the guns. If the armored battalion quickly destroys the opponent, with the shooting speed and hit rate of the Japanese gunners, the armored battalion will definitely suffer heavy losses.

He decided to take a gamble and clenched his fists and ordered: "All tanks stop moving forward, aim at the Japanese tanks and shoot them, and shoot the shells as fast as possible. Even if you use the shells to pile them up, I will destroy him!"

When fighting sports targets during sports, it would be nice if the half-baked gunner of the armored battalion could have a hit rate of 10%.

But if you play sports goals without moving, your hit rate will definitely increase a lot.

However, doing so also poses a new threat to the armored battalion.

Once the six tanks stop, they will become fixed targets for Japanese tanks. With the accurate head of the Japanese gunner, they will definitely aim at each other...

But Fang Deshan had no other way.

The gunner under his command is not as good as a human being. He fights with his life and strives to destroy the opponent at the cost of a tank.

By stopping forward, increase the hit rate of the gunners under their command, kill the opponent as soon as possible, reduce the number of shells fired by the opponent, and reduce the losses of the armored battalion.

"Boom..." The Japanese tanks had very rich combat experience. As soon as they turned around, they took the initiative and knocked down a tank on the flank of Fang Deshan, which made him heartbroken.

He punched the protective steel plate and wanted to curse people when he opened his mouth.

But in order not to affect the gunner's performance, he held back at the last moment and continued to stare at the Japanese tank through the lookout, praying that the gunner under his command would be more powerful and strive not to fire a second shell for the Japanese.

"Boom boom boom..."

The five tanks that were not destroyed fired one after another, and one shell hit the target, but hit the tank track and did not hit the turret and body. Although the tank could not move, it could still turn the turret and fire the cannon.

Fang Deshan was very disappointed with this result, but it was better than the empty shots of all five shells.

Moreover, the Japanese tanks become fixed targets as soon as they fall into bed, and the gunner's shooting accuracy will be improved. The next round of shooting will definitely kill the opponent, which is also a blessing in disgrace.

However, before this, the Japanese tanks will definitely be able to shoot another shell.

But Fang Deshan could no longer take care of so much and was very anxious to order: "Continue firing the cannon, the Japanese tanks are in vain, and fire the cannon to destroy it immediately!"

"Boom..." The Japanese tank fired a second shell under Fang Deshan's calculations and flew towards the command car he was in.

Maybe it was because I was too lucky, or because the Japanese tank track was blown up and affected the aiming, the shell actually hit the flank of the turret and shot away, turning into a jumper.

Fang Deshan was ready to sacrifice here today, and his back was covered in cold sweat. As a result, he survived and he actually survived.

Fortunately, he quickly shouted to the other scared gunner next to him: "Why are you still standing there? Fire the fire immediately!"

The sound of firebombing sounded quickly in my ears, and Fang Deshan immediately looked at the Japanese tank.

Three of the five tank guns successfully hit the target, and the turret was blown up in the flames, and the tank hands must have all been blown to death.

Fang Deshan's tense nerves finally sootheed.

This is the only tank that the Japanese chariot squadron can pose a threat to the armored camp. After being destroyed, the remaining two armored vehicles will become fat at their mouths, and eat whatever they want!

Although the threat was gone, Fang Deshan was still immersed in the heartache of losing a tank just now.

Seeing that the Japanese had two armored vehicles rushing towards the armored battalion with a fearless attitude, he decided to make up for some losses from them.

He took out his gun and ordered with a serious face: "The armored battalion continued to advance, all tank guns stopped shooting, and the vehicle-mounted machine guns shot the Japanese infantry. After approaching the armored vehicle, he used a pistol to attack the Japanese in the carriage, and tried to seize the armored vehicle intact. If it really doesn't work, it will be destroyed!"

"Boom..." The tank engine immediately sounded a dull roar, and the body rushed forward, hedging towards the remaining two armored vehicles of the Japanese.

The Japanese armored vehicles are not equipped with tank guns and cannot destroy the remaining tanks of the armored battalion from a long distance.

If you want to block the armored battalion, you must get close to it and launch an attack with explosives.

Seeing that the remaining five tanks of the armored battalion did not attack him with tank guns, the Japanese in the armored vehicle were very excited. Seeing that the opponent did not fire, they immediately realized that his chance had come, and did not dodge and greeted the rushing tanks.

This is exactly the result that Fang Deshan wants.

When the tank and the armored vehicle were about to collide, the roof of the tank turret was lifted, Fang Deshan held the box cannon and drilled out, shooting at the shooting hole that was close to the armored vehicle.

The shooting hole is very small, but Fang Deshan's shooting distance is only five or six meters, and he can even shoot bullets into the car with his eyes closed.

A few Japanese screams came from the armored vehicle compartment immediately, and the two heavy-loaded machine guns stopped abruptly and stopped shooting. Fang Deshan took advantage of the situation and touched the shooting dead end of the remaining machine gun to the next side of the armored vehicle, and continued to attack other Japanese in the compartment through the shooting hole...

The captain retreated quickly under the protection of the guards, crossed one subordinate after another who were fleeing his life, and left them behind him.

The roar of chariots and the sound of fire exchange seemed to be getting farther and farther apart from itself.

He felt that his decision to leave the chariot behind the palace was too correct.

But this good mood lasted only three or four minutes and was broken by the sound of machine guns getting closer and closer behind him. At the same time, the sound of horse hooves roaring from the flanks.

After the only three remaining chariots of the Japanese were killed, the cavalry troops immediately lost their worries. They raided, covered, and surrounded, and were very busy, and they all wanted to seize the time to kill more Japanese.

"Captain, the enemy armored troops are catching up again. All three chariots behind the hall were destroyed. The infantry behind the hall was defeated. They are no match for the enemy at all!" The messenger quickly brought bad news that made the captain extremely desperate.

When the captain made the decision to cut off his arm, he thought that the three chariots would not last long.

After all, the opponent has too many tanks equipped, and the strength of the two sides is too great.

But he did not expect that the three chariots would last so short, reducing the time it took for the messenger to pass the order, which meant that the three chariots were destroyed as soon as they took action, and almost did not block the attack of the armored battalion.

Before he could react from his shock, another messenger ran over with horror on his face: "Sir, there are cavalrymen surrounding us, two companies before the troops..."

The deputy captain analyzed with a calm face: "Captain, look at the enemy's posture, it seems that we are going to wipe out all of us here!"

"If we continue to retreat in a group, their plot will definitely succeed."

"Only by dividing troops to break through and retreat, can we have troops to get rid of the enemy's pursuit and retreat to the stone gate!"

A split of the troops means that if you lose this battle, the losses of the troops will become very large. There are still 1,700 people on the road, with good combat power. The captain did not want to admit defeat and frowned and rejected.

"We cannot divide the troops, and there are cavalry around us. As soon as the troops divide the troops, they give the enemy a chance to defeat us!"

"Armored vehicles have limited off-road capabilities and can only rely on the road to maneuver quickly. They can immediately use explosives and grenades to break the road, block the enemy armored vehicles first, and then send suicide squads to blow up enemy tanks."

"Without the cover of the chariot troops, with our firepower level, it is difficult for the enemy cavalry troops to gain advantage from us!"
