Chapter 884 Retreat has been calculated
"Captain, the Eighth Route Army that attacked the valley is coming soon. You must break through and leave here immediately!" Looking at the Eighth Route Army that was rushing closer and closer not far away, the deputy captain once again raised his obsession with breaking through that he had never given up.
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army that ambushed us on the flanks also rushed towards us. Their attack firepower was too strong, our troops and firepower were too scattered, and they could not stop them at all..." A lieutenant ran over to report in panic on his face.
The captain was also panicked, and he could not see the calmness he had just now on his face. He ran away while ordering: "Retreat, concentrate all his troops and firepower to break out from behind and leave here!"
At the Eighth Route Army's front command, two regiment commanders stood side by side at the lookout, looking at the battle situation not far away, with their eyebrows sometimes frowning and sometimes stretching, and orders were constantly transmitted from here to the front positions...
"Old Wang, the Japanese and puppet troops in the encirclement seem to break through and run away!" a regiment commander reminded.
"Run well!" Captain Wang not only did not worry, but instead smiled on his serious face and snorted coldly to explain.
"If the Japanese decide to fight to the death here, we will definitely have to work a lot of effort to completely wipe out more than a thousand Japanese and puppet troops left in the encirclement, and the price will be very high. After all, the Japanese's combat power is there."
"If the Japanese and puppet troops choose to break through and retreat, the result will be different."
"The offense and defense change immediately. We will go from a strong offense to a defensive side, and the losses of the troops will definitely be much smaller!"
"Old Huang, don't worry, I have already made arrangements!"
"The first battalion responsible for the sealing blocked the Japanese breakout troops head-on for half an hour under the cover of the heavy machine gun company and the mortar company, and strive to kill 500 Japanese and puppet troops at the entrances and exits of the valley, and then take the initiative to let him open the defense line."
"The Second and Third Battalions took advantage of the first battalion to march towards the only way for the Japanese to break through and retreat. They lurked in companies as units. When the Japanese arrived, they divided their troops to launch a raid and slowly cleaned up like cutting off their flesh. As long as a company kills 100 Japanese and puppet troops, two battalions can kill all the Japanese and puppet troops breaking through!"
"Old Huang, your troops should not be idle, and they must be closely behind the Japanese and puppet troops breaking through the siege. If the Japanese don't want to be beaten by us, they can only divide the troops behind the hall to reduce the pressure on the blocking troops."
"I'll leave those troops behind you to clean up!"
"We two cooperate with each other and strive to practice and eat all the Japanese and puppet troops in the encirclement!"
Commander Huang agreed with this style of play after a moment of thought: "I am the second battalion best at raiding, and I will notify them to cooperate with your actions immediately!"
In the valley, the captain's order to break through and retreat was issued, and the ambushing troops gathered towards him.
There are many people and strong forces, and the valley has been surrounded by the Eighth Route Army. Only by concentrating superior forces and firepower and attacking with a fierce attack will you have the opportunity to break out of the encirclement.
If the troops are divided and break through, not only will they not have the chance to break out of the encirclement, but they will also create an opportunity for the Eighth Route Army to divide and defeat everyone...
The Japanese officers with some military knowledge all understood this truth, so they began to meet with the captain as soon as they received the order to break through.
When more than 400 meters were withdrawn, more than three infantry squadrons gathered around the brigade leader, and a steady stream of soldiers were pouring over from all directions nearby.
Only with soldiers, guns and cannons in hand can the captain have the confidence to break out of the encirclement. After restoring his fighting spirit, he kept giving orders to organize troops to retreat.
"Report to the captain of the brigade, there is a blocking position of the Eighth Route Army in front, with many light and heavy machine guns and mortar cover on it, so we can't rush over!" As we ran, a lieutenant in front suddenly rushed to him.
The brigade leader did not stop and ordered while rushing to the road: "Put up all the remaining mortars and shoot out all the shells we carry, and must blow up a gap for the infantry."
"Assemble two infantry squadrons to launch an attack at the same time, all heavy machine guns are covered and fired, suppress the blocking firepower of the Eighth Route Army, and attack with the strongest offensive. The troops can only advance, not retreat, and must break out of the valley..."
The violent sound of gunfire quickly rang out in the front of the team. For his own life, the captain still couldn't help but raise the telescope.
The attack was very smooth. Six mortars fired shells at the blocking position with their fastest rate of fire. The shell rain quickly blew the blocking position into the sky, and from time to time, the Eighth Route Army was blown into the sky in the flames.
More than 300 subordinates took the opportunity to approach the blocking position and shortened the assault distance for a while.
But the good times did not last long. As soon as the Eighth Route Army's artillery hidden behind the blocking position took action, the artillery troops that they had high hopes for were blown up into chaos and could not continue to bombard the blocking position.
The offensive troops can only forcibly attack and block positions under the cover of heavy machine guns.
But the Eighth Route Army's blocking firepower was too strong, and the light and heavy machine gun bullets were like they didn't have money, flying towards the offensive positions in batches, slaughtering offensive troops...
The captain felt heartbroken and his eyes were red, but there was no way.
If the offensive troops fail to make a breakthrough and give up halfway, all the troops in the encirclement will die here.
If the offensive troops successfully break a hole, even if they are exhausted, the troops in the encirclement can break out at least two squadrons.
Compared with the two, the captain definitely did not want the more than 2,000 reinforcements under his command to be destroyed here.
Unless the attacking troops in front of them are exhausted, they will continue to attack. This is the death order given to them by the captain just now.
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army is coming to us behind..." A second lieutenant suddenly ran over to the rear of the palace. Before he finished speaking, dense gunfire came from behind.
Under the night, at least twenty machine gun fire tongues appeared behind the team. They opened fire and approached the troops behind the palace. The assault speed was very fast. The troops behind the palace were vulnerable to them and collapsed without even holding on for a minute.
"We can't continue to wait here, otherwise we will be blocked by the Eighth Route Army and will be attacked by them!" The captain analyzed with a calm face.
A quick glance at the attacking troops in front of them was less than fifty meters away from the Eighth Route Army's blocking position. If you add another fire, you can open a bloody road.
He decided to take out all the capital of his mobile phone and make a fuss.
With a "swish...", pull out the command knife and waved the order forward: "The whole army attacks forward, and the machine guns and grenade launchers are covered. Everyone can only move forward, not backward. They must break out before the Eighth Route Army pursues the troops coming!"
"Kill and give it to..."
The more than 500 Japanese soldiers gathered by the captain were as if they were injected with chicken blood. They all became excited, holding guns, holding light machine guns, and screaming and assaulting forward...
The captain held the command knife in his hand and was swept forward by his subordinates...
After three minutes of assault, the captain felt that he had been withered for three days, which was particularly long.
"Sir, we have successfully broken through and broke out of the Eighth Route Army encirclement!" The deputy captain's excited cheer brought him back to reality.
The Eighth Route Army's blocking position was already trampled by them, and dozens of corpses fell to the ground in various postures. There were just used bullet shells everywhere, especially light and heavy machine gun bullet shells, which showed how many bullets the Eighth Route Army had just fired!
"Continue to retreat!" The captain was very happy, but his tense nerves did not completely relax. He was anxious to hear the sound of fire fighting sounding again behind him.
"The Eighth Route Army pursuers are behind them. Everyone finally broke out of the encirclement. Please ask the pursuers, you must not be dragged here by them anymore! I will move and continue to retreat, and you must not stop!"
The Japanese captain was very vigilant, but he didn't know that he had just killed the bag formation and got into another trap prepared for him by the Eighth Route Army.
Chapter completed!
