"Quickly, protect the captain to retreat!" Noda Nakasa's order came out, and the adjutant shouted to the guard next to him.

More than a dozen Japanese soldiers surrounded Noda Nakasa and quickly moved to the area away from the artillery fire coverage.

On the high ground occupied by the new regiment, although the Japanese were several hundred meters away from themselves on the road, the fireballs that kept rising from shells exploded like a huge torch, illuminating the battlefield like during the day.

Even without using a telescope, Wang Ping can still see the situation on the battlefield.

"The Japanese were blown up by us, as if they were about to run away. Each cannon fired ten times faster, and continue firing!" Wang Ping ordered decisively.

Then he stared at Xiao Yunshan, who was commanding the troops to fight the puppet army beside him, and continued to issue an order: "There is only a battalion of puppet troops left in front of us. Company Commander Xiao, fight back at the right time and try to kill them!"

Under the firepower of a total of nine heavy machine guns, the more than 300 puppet troops died and stopped attacking after less than half of the company, and lay on the ground like a turtle with its head shrank.

He watched the heavy machine gun shoot the bullets out like water, but there was no result in any battle. Xiao Yunshan can be said to be both frustrated and angry.

Hearing Wang Ping's order, he was so angry that he seemed to have found a breakthrough in his ejaculation. He said nothing nonsense and ordered directly.

"The heavy machine gun was used to hold back the machine guns of the puppet army, and the others charged me!"

"The machine gunners are in front of us, don't stop firepower, kill the puppet troops in front of us!"

The pseudo-legion commander felt like crying at this time.

It was originally to show his merits to his master that he volunteered to fight and attack the new regiment.

But I didn't expect that the firepower of the Xinyi Group was so powerful, even stronger than that of its own master, the Japanese.

As soon as the troops arrived, the intertwined heavy machine gun bullets killed half of their company's troops like a massacre. Then Sheng Yilun's subordinates were afraid and refused to continue attacking no matter how he threatened them.

The regiment commander affirmed that he could not control his subordinates on the battlefield, and Noda Nakasa, who was supervising the battle behind, must have seen it.

Just when the regiment commander secretly swore in his heart that he would deal with the puppet troops under his command after he returned, and even had to undergo a major blood exchange on the officers in the regiment. An accident happened.

The Eighth Route Army, which I have always looked down upon, was even equipped with mortars. More importantly, these mortars directly crossed over to fire at Noda Nakasa behind.

In less than half a minute of artillery bombardment, the regiment commander saw the Japanese who were usually arrogant and mighty, and they were also afraid of death.

He fled in all directions like a dog in the family, and then retreated directly, forgetting himself who was fighting on the battlefield.

"Retreat, the Japanese have run away, what else can we do? The machine gun covers, and the others retreat with me!" The regiment commander is not a vegetarian, and nothing else can do, but his ability to save his life is first-class. He immediately retreated under the protection of the guard company, without hesitation at all.

"Captain, the troops have not retreated!" After walking for dozens of meters, a company commander chased after him and reported anxiously.

"Why? Do they all want to die here?" the commander frowned and shouted.

At the beginning of the battle, he lost one company, and two companies turned against each other and became prisoners of the Eighth Route Army. If the battalion was lost in front of him, he would become the commander of the barracks. The regiment commander must have been resigned from the Japanese to battalion commander.

"They said they were too tired and didn't want to run away. If you continue to escape, it would be better to be a prisoner for the Eighth Route Army!" the company commander replied in a low voice.

"Get out, they are betrayal, I want to shoot them!" The regiment commander was most worried about, and he pulled out his pistol and subconsciously returned to the battlefield and brought the troops back.

But before he could step out, another company commander rushed over with a look of horror.

"Regiment, the Eighth Route Army has counterattacked. They have a lot of machine guns and are rushing towards us. It will be too late if they don't retreat!"

Compared with the troops, your own life is obviously more important.

In the end, he could only bear the pain of giving up, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Retreat, follow the Japanese to retreat!"

As soon as the regiment commander retreated, the puppet troops who remained on the battlefield completely lost their worries.

When the New First Regiment counterattack troops were still a hundred meters away, they threw their guns and acted like surrendering.

"Captain, we won. We actually won!" Seeing the Japanese and puppet troops abandoning their armor and retreating, more than 200 puppet troops became prisoners. Xiao Yunshan was stunned for a minute before he reacted from the shock, and then shouted with surprise.

Wang Ping was also very surprised that a raid battle could be like this.

Although it is not clear how many Japanese he has eliminated, it is a fact that an artillery squadron plus a heavy machine gun squadron is a dead end.

Without heavy weapons, the Japanese had nothing but military strength advantages in front of the new regiment.

If you can see this yourself, Major General Matsumoto, the commander of the Japanese Brigade, will definitely see it too.

In order to avoid the inexplicable killing of another squadron of the encirclement and suppression troops, Matsumoto had to mobilize troops from the blockade line, strengthen the encirclement and suppression troops, and make up for the advantages of the encirclement and suppression troops.

It can be said that in this battle, not only did the task be completed, but also solved a large number of problems faced by the new regiment entering the mountain at one time.

But the smile on his face did not last long, and Wang Ping's face calmed down again.

"Now there are two hours before dawn, and the Japanese planes have at most three and a half hours. Company Commander Xiao, I will give you half an hour to clean the battlefield and prepare for retreat. After half an hour, all of them will take the small path to evacuate the battlefield and the ghost temporary camp. If nothing unexpected happens, we will enter the mountain tonight!"

When it was dawn, the exhausted Noda Nakasa returned to the stronghold that had been bombed into ruins.

He sat on the chair prepared by his subordinates, gasped and rested for five minutes, and his pale face slowly became rosy.

After taking a deep breath, staring at the adjutant and asked, "Have the troops all returned?"

"Two of the three squadron leaders came back, and the remaining one seemed to be killed by a shell!" the adjutant replied hesitantly.

"I'm asking about the troops, not officers. I can still promote them if the officers are gone. If the troops are gone, we will become commanders with bare feet, and the brigade commander will not let us go!" The squadron leader glared at the adjutant and asked back.

The adjutant's face suddenly became ugly.

He hesitated for a full half minute before answering: "The troops have returned to a squadron at their current position, but there are still people who keep rushing to the stronghold!"

"Only their commander and a small number of guards have returned!"

"In addition, more than a dozen artillery soldiers have returned, but all the equipment has been stolen by the Eighth Route Army!"

Noda Nakasa's face turned pale again, and he asked back with a desperate look on his face.

"That is to say, when we were chasing, three infantry squadrons, one artillery squadron, and one heavy machine gun squadron, nearly seven hundred imperial troops, less than two hundred people came back alive!"

"And the result of this was actually caused by the remnants of more than 100 people in the new regiment!"

"Hi!" the adjutant replied with his head down, not daring to say another word.

After hearing this answer, Noda Nakasa closed his eyes in pain and said two words: "It's over!"
Chapter completed!
