Chapter 514 Duan Peng: Battalion Commander, the devils are too generous to us
"battalion commander……"
Huang Yu and his special team had just retreated two hundred meters when the voice of deputy battalion commander Wang Lin came over.
"I have brought all the troops that a battalion can bring...more than 300 people in total. Although they are a little tired, the morale of the troops is very high and they are ready to join the battle at any time. Give me the order!"
Huang Yu was instantly happy and said happily: "You guys came in time!"
"Hurry up and let everyone disperse, use bayonets to chop the corn stalks, two meters wide, the longer the better, to form a fire-proof isolation zone... The special forces set up artillery behind the fire-proof zone and smashed all the shells we brought against the Japanese convoy!"
"We must not let them leave easily..."
"If you really want to evacuate, you have to leave something for me!"
"The secret agent company suffered heavy casualties in South Korea Village. Eight mortars fired two to three hundred artillery shells one after another... We must collect some interest to pay back, otherwise we will lose a lot of money!"
"After the fire isolation zone is completed, the first company will outflank from the south, the second company will encircle from the north, and the third company will attack from here, using all the light and heavy machine guns brought by the troops. The bigger the momentum, the better, so that the Japanese will feel that Bao Gu
We have at least one regiment hidden in the ground and want to wipe them all out!"
On the highway, the Japanese captain was personally organizing troops to clean up the situation.
Seeing that the troops were surrounded by a burning car and unable to do anything, he immediately rushed over and ordered: "Use gunpowder... to blow it into parts, and then clean it to the roadside!"
The adjutant suddenly ran over and reported: "Sir, our fire attack is working... The artillery of the Second Regiment has not fired for several minutes. The fire will definitely force them away!"
Although this is a great thing to be happy about, the captain was not happy. He stared at the burning Baogu not far away and ordered rationally: "The fire attack can only temporarily drive them back!"
"As long as the Duer Regiment cuts a fire isolation belt...to block the fire, they can continue to attack us with mortars from a long distance!"
"The quick reaction brigade must evacuate the battlefield before they react..."
"How long will it take to clear the road..."
"Ten minutes at most!" the adjutant replied after thinking for a moment.
The captain was not satisfied with the result. He shook his head and firmly ordered: "It's too long. We must start retreating within five minutes..."
Although the adjutant felt that five minutes was too tight and a bit embarrassing, he did not object.
Continue to report another incident: "A total of twenty-four personnel carriers in the convoy were destroyed... The loss was too great. If we want all the troops to get on the vehicles, we must leave part of the baggage ammunition and reduce the load of the transport vehicles..."
"I suggest you throw away all the heavy weapons that were blown up by the enemy, and blow up some ammunition that cannot be taken away!"
The captain nodded without hesitation: "Okay!"
"As long as we keep our troops...we will be replenished if our weapons are gone!"
"If there are no troops, no matter how many weapons and ammunition we bring back, it will be useless..."
"You decide which weapons and ammunition to blow up and which ones to take back. You don't need to ask me for instructions... But the speed must be fast. The convoy must set off in five minutes..."
The adjutant didn't look back and immediately rushed to the convoy to make arrangements.
The captain also returned to the car, climbed into the passenger seat, and prepared to retreat...
"Boom boom boom..."
But at this moment, the explosion of artillery shells that he least wanted to hear sounded again.
Eight plumes of black smoke rose into the sky on the highway, and another troop carrier was destroyed. The dozen or so Japanese soldiers who were already pedaling were not spared either. Some of them were dead or injured and fell in the carriage. It was a terrible sight.
"Baga... the enemy reacted too quickly and started shelling again... the convoy must set off immediately, we can't wait any longer..." the captain ordered in a loud voice, angry and anxious.
"Drive quickly... otherwise the newly cleared road will be blocked again, and eventually it will become a vicious circle, and no one will be able to leave..."
"Sir..." A second lieutenant rushed to his side in panic and reported.
"There are a lot of signs of Eighth Route Army activity in Baogu area... Visual inspection shows that there is at least one regiment... and they are quickly outflanking us!"
The captain became even more anxious: "The enemy really wants to annihilate us all here..."
"First use artillery to hold us back, then send out infantry to outflank us and start a battle of annihilation!"
"We must not let their conspiracy succeed!"
"We must fight out before they complete the outflank...drive quickly...move all the troop carriers that can still move..."
"Throw away all the baggage and ammunition in the carriage, reduce the load, speed up the carriage...all the soldiers are pedaling, retreat now...if you don't leave, it will be too late..."
The adjutant was telling the troops to throw the ammunition in the car to the roadside and blow it up, when the artillery attack instantly disrupted his rhythm.
In order to avoid the road being blocked again, he climbed onto the passenger seat without hesitation and ordered the driver: "Ignore the baggage and ammunition!"
"Drive now: leave immediately..."
Then he stuck his head out and gave an order to the troops in the carriage: "Hurry up and throw away all the excess ammunition in the carriage...throw a few more grenades over there, and blow up as many as you can..."
A total of 80 personnel carriers were driven away, and under the continuous urging of the captain, a total of 52 vehicles were driven away...
Both sides of the road are full of wing ammunition dropped by the Japanese...a lot of ammunition comes in boxes.
Although many were blown up by Japanese grenades, most of the ammunition was preserved.
Wang Lin is like a country boy who has never seen the world, looking at this now and browsing that now.
"Battal Commander...the ammunition that the kid left here is all artillery shells...not only mortar shells, but also infantry artillery and mountain artillery shells...all of which we are in short supply..."
"It's just that our regiment doesn't have mountain cannons... Otherwise, if these dozens of boxes of mountain cannon shells are fired, hundreds of little devils will definitely be killed!"
Huang Yu glanced at the ammunition boxes all over the place and then looked around. Finally, he locked his eyes on the Guizi Mountain Artillery position. He patted Wang Lin on the shoulder and said, "Who told you that we don't have mountain artillery..."
"The Japanese took away one mountain cannon...Although the remaining five were damaged, all we fired were mortar shells with limited power, so it was impossible to completely destroy them."
"Take the five cannons into parts and piece them together, and maybe you can even make two mountain cannons!"
"Look at the barrel first... As long as the barrel is good, then there is a way!"
Duan Peng suddenly ran over: "Batalion Commander, the little devil is too polite to us..."
"In addition to weapons and ammunition, we also left four personnel carriers..."
"The highway was blocked, and four troop carriers tried to go around the wasteland, but they got stuck in a pit and couldn't get out... They were in a hurry to retreat, abandoned the car and ran away, even forgetting to blow up the car!"
"I took a look and found that the four cars were intact and ready for use after being rolled out!"
Huang Yu smiled even happier than before and immediately ordered: "Go and check the other cars... In addition to the ones that were completely destroyed by the shells, maybe two more can be repaired..."
"Let comrades load all the captured weapons and ammunition into the car!"
"I was worried about how to transport these trophies, and the little devil sent me a transport tool, just like giving him a pillow..."
"Let everyone hurry up...you must evacuate the battlefield within an hour..."
"I'm worried that the Japanese will ask for air force support on the way back... and send planes to bomb us... When we retreat later, all cars and troops will have to be camouflaged and ready for air defense at any time!"
Agent Zhang Xuan walked over with his head lowered. His body was blackened by gunpowder smoke and his arms were still bandaged. When he saw Huang Yu, he reported with an attitude of apology: "Batalion Commander, I have let you down..."
"Only fifteen soldiers from two platoons survived... I, the company commander, didn't command well. I'm sorry for them and ask for punishment..."
Huang Yu shook his head, patted Zhang Xuan on the shoulder and said, "No, you played very well!"
"If the special agent company hadn't relied on South Korea Village to desperately block the first round of Japanese attacks, the special forces would not have had time to reach the battlefield. The Japanese quick reaction brigade had already reached Shunping!"
"For the Duer Regiment, not only will a victory turn into a defeat, but they will also suffer heavy losses again and lose a lot of troops and equipment!"
"The morale and morale that the troops have finally built up will fall to the bottom!"
"Not only do you have no fault, but you have merit!"
"The dozens of soldiers who died in the South Korean village are all heroes!"
"Seize the time to rest, and then find the remains of the fallen soldiers. When the troops retreat, we will visit the base together.
Baoding Japanese brigade headquarters, the rapid reaction brigade just left the battlefield, the sad news of the heavy casualties of the troops was sent here.
Looking at the telegram sent by his subordinates, the brigade commander stood in front of the sand table and was stunned for a long time without saying a word.
The Quick Reaction Brigade had been established for almost half a year. As far as his memory could tell, apart from some sporadic losses, he had never suffered such a huge defeat before. This was so shocking.
What puzzled him the most was that his opponent turned out to be a defeated army that had just lost a battle, had low morale, and didn't even have a few mortars.
I digested it in my heart for a while but still didn't accept this fact.
Until the chief of staff spoke: "General... I think the information Major Harada provided us is wrong!"
"According to Mr. Harada's report: The total strength of the Duer Regiment is less than 2,000, and it is almost equipped with no heavy weapons. One of the reinforced battalions is responsible for attacking the Imperial Army stronghold in Junpei, and the remaining two battalions attack Junpei in company units.
We will attack the town office and police station in Shunping and attack the imperial forces in Shunping!"
"Calculating this, the Duer Regiment can at most deploy one or two companies to bypass Shunping County and block the quick counterattack brigade!"
"According to the latest battle report sent by the quick reaction brigade, the Eighth Route Army attacking them has at least one regiment, equipped with two infantry cannons, eight mortars, and a large number of light and heavy machine guns!"
"This unit is obviously not the Duer Regiment we know!"
"I think there is more than one Eighth Route Army armed force in Shunping, the Duer Regiment!"
"Perhaps they have seen our plan to wipe out the Duer Regiment again, and transferred a main regiment from other places to Junping to reinforce the Duer Regiment!"
"Otherwise we won't be able to explain the enemies attacking the quick reaction brigade..."
A combat staff officer immediately stood up: "Your Excellency, General, I completely agree with the chief of staff's analysis!"
"There must be other Eighth Route Army troops in Shunping! Otherwise, they would never dare to take the initiative and conquer several strongholds in Shunping!"
