Zhang Dabiao looked at the hellish battlefield and stepped into a pool of blood and flesh. The soft blood mud under his feet made him unable to control the churning in his stomach. The breakfast he had just eaten poured out. This kind of thing in front of him
The scene was comparable to hell, and even he, a veteran who had been in the army for more than ten years, couldn't bear it.
Even veterans like Zhang Dabiao couldn't bear it, let alone those soldiers. Many of the soldiers looked pale. They had just escaped from death, but no one cheered. Smelling the thick smell of blood in the air, their tails
Constant convulsions and cleaning the battlefield were originally their favorite things, but at this moment they felt absolutely miserable.
"Battal Commander, there is a living person here!" Two soldiers of the Independent Regiment, whose pants were completely stained red below the knees, dragged a Japanese soldier who was struggling and suffering from a demonic illness. The Japanese soldier was covered in red, and his corpse was
When the surviving Japanese soldiers were pulled out of the pile of corpses, they could only smile stupidly and tremble all over.
At this time, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang came over, and Zhao Gang, who knew a little Japanese, asked in Japanese: "Report your name?"
But all he got back was a silly smile and a frightened look in his empty eyes.
"Political Commissar, this guy is so scared that asking questions is in vain!"
"Chariot...chariot! Hehe, blast...China..." The bloody Japanese soldier giggled and gestured.
"Take it down and hand it over to the Liantai militia behind you." Li Yunlong shook his head, not even bothering to look at this frightened guy.
This was a nearly crushing battle. More than eighty armored vehicles used their tracks to crush a total of 7,000 people from two regiments into a pulp.
Yes, that's what it means literally. This bloody battle not only made countless soldiers of the independent regiment vomit after the war, but also stunned countless people watching the battle from behind.
Facts have proved that vomiting is also contagious. Even though it was several kilometers away from the battlefield, many staff officers who saw this scene through telescopes ran to the side and joined the vomiting army.
Tang Huaiyuan put down the telescope, took a deep breath, and tried hard to suppress the twitching in his stomach. After a while, he sighed: "I have been a soldier for half my life, but this is the first time I have seen such a tragic scene like today.
A battle is worthy of a mill of flesh and blood."
Gao Hongming also suppressed the discomfort in his stomach. He turned to Brigadier Chen behind him, who had an equally emotional look on his face, and said: "Chief Chen, the current state of the Independent Regiment is probably no longer suitable for the main attack mission. I think we can withdraw them first.
What do you think?"
Brigadier Chen hesitated and pondered for a while without speaking.
Upon seeing this, Gao Hongming gave Tang Huaiyuan a warning. Upon seeing this, Tang Huaiyuan quickly smiled and said: "Brother Chen, don't hesitate. In the battle just now, your Eighth Route Army showed off its face. If you eat meat, you have to give us some soup."
?
Okay, don’t think too much, let me and Brother Gao’s people get there immediately.”
After hearing what Tang Huaiyuan said, Brigadier Chen would really offend someone if he refused. Moreover, he also knew very well that Gao Hongming and Tang Huaiyuan had good intentions. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that after the battle just now, the Independent Regiment
Many soldiers have great mood swings, and it is very disadvantageous for them to continue fighting in such a state.
"Both of you, stop talking. From what you said, it seems like it would be a heinous crime if I didn't agree. Why don't I agree to it?" Brigadier Chen smiled bitterly.
Soon, the independent regiment received the order to retreat.
But Li Yunlong, who received the order this time, did not hesitate and quickly led the independent regiment that had cleaned up half of the battlefield to withdraw.
Gao Hongming, who saw this scene from behind, nodded secretly. Who said Li Yunlong was tough in battle? This guy is shrewd and knows when to be reckless and when to be cowardly. After all, in this battlefield where tens of thousands of people are fighting at every turn, if
Because his disobedience led to the collapse of the battle, Brigadier Chen really dared to kill Ma Su with tears on the spot.
The disastrous defeat of the 33rd Division at Xiaowu Mountain not only stunned everyone in Tang Huaiyuan, but it was also like poking a hornet's nest. All the Japanese troops in Zhongtiao Mountain were also shocked.
After losing two infantry regiments and a baggage regiment in succession, the Thirty-third Division now only has one 214th Infantry Regiment and logistics personnel such as engineering troops, communication troops, and water supply troops. The total is less than six
Thousands of people, such a small force cannot withstand the combined attack of heavy artillery, aircraft and armored forces.
Previously, the Ninth Brigade had just been completely wiped out. If the Thirty-third Division was wiped out again soon, Neji Okamura would no longer be the commander of the North China Front.
So under the strict order of Gangmura Neiji, the Thirty-seventh Division that was originally in Guojialing withdrew and rushed towards Yangping Town at the speed of a rapid march. Not only that, even the Thirty-sixth Division also mobilized a regiment
Begin to rush to the rescue of the 33rd Division.
As a result, all the original plans of the temporary headquarters were disrupted.
temporary headquarters
The original joy of annihilating two regiments of the 33rd Division was gone, replaced by a heavy atmosphere.
"Lao Chi, can we still capture Xiaowu Mountain on time?" Gao Hongming asked Chi Yaohui, who was burying himself in the map.
"That's too late."
Chi Yaohui finally raised his head and faced Gao Hongming, Brigadier Chen and Tang Huaiyuan, who looked at him with concern, and said helplessly: "After calculations by almost all staff officers in the headquarters, we want to capture Xiaowu Mountain with our current strength.
It will take at least six to eight hours, which means that the combat target will have to be reached in the evening at the earliest, and this must be under ideal conditions. If something unexpected happens, the time will have to be postponed.
But now the Japanese troops in Guojialing and Gaojiazhuang have moved towards Yangping Town at full speed, and it only takes them two to three hours to reach Yangping Town."
Having said this, Chi Yaohui stopped talking.
Although he didn't say the next words, everyone understood that it was impossible to capture Xiaowu Mountain within two or three hours.
This time, Jutaro Amakasu will never do the foolish thing of rashly letting the two regiments rush out of the bunker to fight with the tanks like he did this morning. He will definitely defend Xiaowu Mountain with the remaining troops.
Facing thousands of Japanese troops who were desperately defending, even if they had superior artillery fire and air superiority, they had no good solution. They could only use the stupidest method to bite them off bit by bit.
Sometimes it is not possible to easily capture the opponent's position with absolute artillery and air superiority. Americans from another time and space experienced this most profoundly. Whether it is Iwo Jima or Shangganling, this is something that will never leave the hearts of American soldiers.
nightmare.
The three of them looked at each other and said one word in unison: "Withdraw!"
