Chapter 454 The Imperial Association Army visits the mines
With the end of the battle here, the little Japanese who attacked in other places were also violently attacked by various combat groups of the first team. Even if they were not all wiped out, they fled back to the main force with heavy losses... and the Japanese avant-garde alliance
The team, less than one kilometer deep into the dense forest, suffered heavy losses under various attacks from more than 60 special forces members of the first team. More than 700 little Japanese soldiers fell forever in this dense forest.
. There are almost more than two hundred soldiers who have temporarily lost their combat effectiveness due to various degrees of injuries...
"Bagh Ya Road. Order the troops to retreat immediately. Retreat quickly. We must exit the woods in the shortest possible time. Hurry..." Seeing the heavy casualties of the troops, listening to the wailing of the lightly and seriously injured people around them. Already
The deputy captain who took over the command of the entire regiment was shocked and wisely chose to retreat... because he didn't know how many people would be left in his field infantry regiment if they walked another kilometer forward.
…
Just as the Japanese vanguard unit began to retreat, the division commander, accompanied by several officers, listened anxiously to the gunshots coming from the dense forest, waiting anxiously for something. However, half an hour later, the division commander
The captain did not wait for the news that the forward passage was opened by the vanguard unit. Instead, he saw the vanguard unit, which had suffered heavy casualties, carrying a large number of lightly and seriously injured people, and under the leadership of the deputy captain, evacuating the dense forest in embarrassment.
A few minutes later, the body of the avant-garde wing captain was carried to the division commander by the deputy captain. Looking at the body of the avant-garde wing captain whose head was shot directly in front of him, his whole head was stained red with blood and brain matter.
, when he saw the vice-captain standing in front of him with his head lowered, the division commander couldn't help but feel annoyed and said angrily loudly.
"Baga, please tell me immediately what happened in the woods just now. Why did the vanguard regiment lose so many soldiers? Even the regiment leader himself was killed, but you didn't open the channel for the troops to advance. Immediately
answer me…."
Looking at the angry-looking division commander in front of him, the vice-captain hurriedly lowered his head and replied: "Hi, Your Excellency, division commander. The Eighth Route Army has laid countless traps in the dense forest. All the officers and soldiers of my vanguard wing, almost every step of the way,
Any further steps will be paid in blood. At the same time, around our marching column, there are many small units of the Eighth Route Army who are good at jungle warfare. They use the cover of Shunu in the dense forest to continuously attack our main regiment along the way...
Your Excellency, the commander of the regiment, was killed on the march after being hit by a sniper from the Eighth Route Army. Please, your Excellency, the commander of the division, take a closer look..."
"Baga, it's the Eighth Route Army again. Could it be that this time the Eighth Route Army's *** division really wants to wipe out the remaining tens of thousands of our army's troops? Bagaya Road..." After hearing the answer from the deputy captain in front of him, the division
While Chang was shocked, he couldn't help but curse loudly again. His whole body began to tremble with excitement and shock.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, tens of thousands of troops now need your command. Please take care of yourself! Even if the Eighth Route Army wants to annihilate us, it depends on whether they have the ability. Now the main force of the Eighth Route Army's *** division
The encirclement has not been completely formed yet. I believe that as long as we work hard, we will be able to come up with a good way to successfully break through the encirclement..." The chief of staff quickly supported the trembling division commander and consoled him loudly...
"Bage Ya Road... Chief of Staff, what do you think we should do next? The Japanese Army has densely mined mines around us and cannot open a safe passage in the woods. Is there any other way we can proceed?"
Retreat..." The division commander raised his head and placed his last hope on the chief of staff beside him...
"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander. I believe that in the next operations, we should try our best to preserve the remaining strength of our Imperial Army to deal with the cruel battle that may follow. As for giving
We can completely leave the matter of the troops opening the passage to the Imperial Association Army troops behind us. I believe that the 20,000 Imperial Association Army troops will be able to create a miracle and open a safe passage for the main force to retreat." Staff Sgt.
He suggested in a low voice...
After listening to the advice of the chief of staff in front of him, the division commander's eyes immediately flashed with a sharp edge. At the same time, the frowning brow slowly relaxed. Then, he faced the chief of staff in front of him.
Said: "Yo Xi, thank you Chief of Staff for the reminder. If it weren't for your reminder, I would have forgotten that there are still 20,000 Imperial Army soldiers behind us. Compared with these Imperial Army soldiers, the lives of our Imperial Army soldiers
, but it is more valuable than gold. I believe that even if 20,000 Imperial Army soldiers are paved with corpses, they can pave a safe passage for the main force to come out."
In an instant, smiles appeared on the faces of the commanders at all levels surrounding the division commander. However, except for two people, they were the two division commanders of the Imperial Association Army. After listening to the words of the division commander in front of them,
From then on, the two men even had the intention to kill people. However, in front of these little Japanese officers, two traitors who usually showed off their power in front of the Chinese people. At this moment, they were like a defeated rooster, even if there was something in their hearts.
You can only hold your anger in your own heart.
Seeing the smiling division commander, he slowly turned his gaze to himself. At the same time, the two of them stood up straight by reflex and asked the division commander in front of them with flattering faces.
Said: "Taijun, I don't know what Taijun's orders are. Our Imperial Alliance Army will definitely complete the mission and live up to the trust of Your Excellency Taijun..."
"Yo Xi, you are such a good citizen, and you are worthy of being the best friend of the Imperial Army. Here, I am going to give you two a very difficult task. Before I tell you about this task, I promise you,
As long as you can successfully complete this task, I will personally report your merits to the Commander of the North China Garrison Army. Now I order you to lead your men along the highway to clear the way for the main force. The speed must be certain.
We must be quick, no matter how high the price is, we must rush out of the minefield blocking us within half a day. How about it, I wonder if there is any problem..." The division commander nodded with a smile, and then ordered.
"Thank you, Your Majesty Taijun, for your trust. We will definitely live up to your trust and open a channel for the main force in the shortest possible time..." Looking at the division commander and the two Imperial Association military advisors who were smiling in front of them.
The commander did not dare to hesitate and answered quickly. At the signal of the division chief of staff, he turned around and ran towards his troops in the rear...
Soon, the entire 40,000-strong army marching line made a big adjustment. The Royal Association Army troops, who were originally responsible for the bottom, became the vanguard of the entire army at this moment. At the same time, under the two Imperial Army divisions
After long discussions, a regiment of Imperial Association officers and soldiers quickly came to the minefield where the corpses of little Japanese soldiers were still lying on the ground...
"Damn, there are so many corpses of little Japs. How many landmines must have caused this? Did the Japs deliberately let us die? There are so many landmines and we don't have mine detection equipment. Do we really want our brothers to die?
Go and fill it in?" Looking at the bloody corpses of little Japanese in front of him, the deputy leader of the team frowned and said dissatisfied...
"Damn it, you don't want to live anymore, keep your voice down. Be careful not to let the kid hear it, we all have to finish playing..." After hearing the complaint from the deputy captain, the captain next to him made sure that there was no kid around.
The deputy leader reminded with an unhappy look.
"Yes, Tuan Tuan, it's all my fault. But Tuan Tuan, what I said is also true. The little devil asked us to open the way. Do we really want our brothers to step on landmines and fill them with their lives..." Deputy Tuan
The leader quickly reacted and asked the leader next to him with a flattering look.
"Hey, what can we do? When we set off, the division commander told me that even if there were mine detection equipment, it would not have any effect on the earth-made mines laid by the Eighth Route Army. The regiment leader said, we have to
If I want to get out alive, I can only take the lives of my brothers. However, the division commander assured me that as long as our regiment can successfully open the passage, the division commander will replenish us as many people as the army has lost. In addition, we
The two of them may also get a lot of rewards..." The leader whispered into the deputy leader's ear...
"Captain, is this true?" When he heard Dayang, the deputy commander, who seemed to take his soldiers seriously just now, couldn't help but his eyes lit up and he quickly asked.
"Of course it's true. You see when I lied to you. In this way, we will fill in one platoon one by one. The guard company will serve as the supervising team. The troops are only allowed to move forward and not retreat." The regiment leader glared at himself.
Eyes, and then ordered.
"Yes, regimental leader, I'm going to give the order right now. Let's go up one platoon after another. I don't believe that there are more than a thousand people in our regiment and we can't rush out..." After getting a positive answer from the regimental leader, the deputy
The regiment leader couldn't help but get excited and replied loudly. He turned to the troops around him and began to issue specific combat orders.
In less than a few minutes, a platoon of Imperial Army soldiers, under the threat of the black muzzles of several machine guns from the guard platoon, had to walk slowly towards the nearby minefield with heavy steps.
In the past, more than thirty soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army were walking forward with fear and caution.
However, the members of the Fourth Squadron of the Special Operations Group worked very hard on the way the Japanese army retreated. Almost one-third of all mine reserves were buried here. Almost every few meters apart, there was at least one mine.
The above various kinds of mines with added materials. With such density of mines, if the Japanese and puppet troops in the encirclement want to really break out, they will definitely pay heavy casualties, and the casualties will be unbearable for the little devils...
Just when a platoon of Imperial Army soldiers, under the threat of several machine guns, had walked less than five meters, a huge orange-red fireball rose from the ground, followed by a shocking explosion.
The sound rang out. Among these soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army who had almost no military literacy, the explosion of the mines could be said to have exerted its huge destructive power.
The huge explosion, the huge shock wave and the flying shrapnel, quickly killed and injured the Imperial Army soldiers who were standing on the road in a daze before they could make any reaction. The explosion of just one landmine killed a platoon.
The Royal Association Army caused most of the casualties. A platoon of soldiers almost lost their combat effectiveness after advancing less than five meters.
"Damn, it's really weird. The distance is less than five meters, and a platoon is finished like this. Deputy commander, order the second platoon to continue to fight me. I really don't believe it. These Tubal roads, overnight
Where did they get so many landmines, and they were all planted around us in one night..." Looking at the dozen or so seriously wounded people lying on the ground, wailing, the Royal Association Army's vanguard regiments
While Chang was shocked, he ordered loudly.
"Yes, captain..." Although, looking at the seriously injured in front of him, the deputy captain's eyes flashed with sympathy. However, when he thought of the white flowers he might get after the breakout was successful, and if he could not succeed,
When he broke through, perhaps a bullet was waiting for him. Without any hesitation, the deputy commander immediately raised the shell gun in his hand and answered.
In the blink of an eye, another platoon of soldiers walked out of the main force amidst the angry scolding of the deputy commander. However, after the explosion just now, it was obvious that this platoon of soldiers from the Imperial Association
The fear in the hearts of the soldiers. Because among these dozens of soldiers, almost every soldier's body could not help but tremble as he advanced...
"Boom..." The final result was no surprise. A platoon of soldiers only advanced less than eight meters and once again stepped on a loaded mine. Amidst the huge explosion, the explosives covering the surface of the mine
A layer of gravel, like an airtight rain of bullets, beat all the soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army in front of him to a bloody pulp. Of a platoon of more than thirty people, only less than ten survived.
Personally. The whole scene was not only extremely cruel, but also extremely bloody...
"Ugh...ah..." Immediately, the soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army, who had looked frightened just now, began to vomit in front of such a bloody scene. The neat formation also turned into chaos in an instant. What's more,
Moreover, the legs of some Imperial Army soldiers have begun to tremble. It is conceivable that during the subsequent battle, these soldiers have lost their combat effectiveness due to the fear in their hearts.
After looking at the scene in front of him and at the subordinates behind him who were behaving differently, the regiment leader shook his head speechlessly and complained to the deputy commander beside him: "Oh, this is all caused by the little devil catching the strong man.
If you look at those vomiting and trembling soldiers, you can tell at a glance that they are recruits who have just touched a gun. If nothing goes wrong, these soldiers can only fire a gun. People like this are simply ignorant when fighting the Eighth Route Army.
.”
"But, the regiment leader and master's order...Now that the brothers are like this, what should we do next?" The deputy leader also frowned and asked with an anxious look. He didn't know,
At this moment, he was anxious because of the white ocean, or because of the current situation of the army.
"What can I do? You are here, command the troops and continue to charge forward. I will report to the division immediately. If we continue to charge like this, let alone the troops will suffer heavy losses. If it is serious, these soldiers may launch a rebellion.
If this is the case, it will be a disaster..." After the regiment commander finished speaking, before the deputy commander could react, he took a few close guards and quickly ran towards the rear where the division commander was.
The deputy commander who was left behind continued to order the soldiers behind him who had no fighting ability to launch an attack that was close to suicide. Although the eyes of every Imperial Army soldier were full of anger. However, in
Facing the dark muzzle of the gun, and with no one daring to stand up and resist, these soldiers who were targeted by the deputy commander could only lower their heads and embark on a journey of their own death...
As for the regiment commander, at this moment, he had already arrived in front of the division commander who was frowning and thinking about how to speed up the progress of the troops: "Reporting to the division seat, I have another important report..." I heard it coming from behind me again.
With two explosions, the regiment leader, who was extremely anxious, had to interrupt the thinking of the division commander in front of him and said loudly...
"Well? Why are you here when you are not commanding the battle from the front? Are you here to plead for mercy? Let me tell you, this is an order personally issued by the imperial army. If it cannot be completed, not only your head, but also my division commander will be affected.
The little devil didn't even take his head seriously..." Looking at the frowning regimental commander in front of him, the division commander asked doubtfully.
"Master, you misunderstood. I am not here to beg for mercy. I just have an important matter to report to you. If this matter cannot be properly resolved, it will eventually cause very big consequences.
..." Seeing the angry-looking division commander, the regiment leader quickly explained...
"If you have anything to say, tell me quickly. After you finish speaking, immediately go to the front to direct the battle. Now the time given to us by the little devil is getting less and less. We must seize the time..." The division commander nodded and replied.
"Yes, division seat. It's like this. In the front, almost every time we advance less than ten meters, we have to pay almost a platoon's combat power. Now the remaining soldiers are very afraid of the attack... I'm worried
, If we continue to be forced like this, those soldiers may actually mutiny... If there is no mutiny, then the melee last night will not be much better. So, Master, we must come up with a way to prevent it in advance...
"In two minutes, the regiment leader gave a detailed report on what he had just thought about, the situation that had pushed his soldiers into panic and possible rebellion.
