Chapter 1260 Without water, they must die of thirst
If the well is gone, who will protect you from disaster?
Yoshida felt that he had really made a mistake this time. No matter what, he shouldn't have let Shangjing go to the rear. Anyone around him could do it.
Now, what should I do?
"I'm afraid they have been crushed by the Empire." Yoshida sighed helplessly and looked at the sparse troops. Knowing that it was impossible to launch an attack with the current strength, he could only ask the adjutant to immediately request for additional troops.
, and explained one thing, the other party has poison gas bombs.
They suffered heavy losses because of the gas bombs.
When Zhou Weiguo saw the Japanese troops staying in the distance, he knew that the other side would definitely launch a new round of attack on him, and the focus would be on Highland No. 3, so he ordered his troops to immediately build a defensive offensive.
"Captain." Xu Hu's voice came from a distance. Zhou Weiguo, who was discussing defense with Jiang Yue and others, stood up. Xu Hu ran over from a distance.
He turned around and saw that the Second Battalion and the Special Agent Company had not returned, and even the Fourth Battalion had not followed.
"The battle over there is over. Why doesn't the team come back? We have a tough battle to fight soon." Zhou Weiguo waited for Xu Hu to come over and asked after drinking water.
Xu Hu laughed and said, "Captain, there is still a force over there, nearly two hundred people, and now we have to surround them."
Oh, there are still about two hundred people.
That's right, Yoshida couldn't be careless and dare to withdraw with all his troops. He must have left the rear troops behind.
Those troops were actually abandoned, and in Yoshida's eyes, they were bound to die.
"Let's go and have a look." Zhou Weiguo dropped the pencil on the map, handed over the matter to Jiang Yue like a shopkeeper, and rushed forward with Nan Zhongmei and Xiao Ya.
By the time they arrived, the Second Battalion and the Special Agent Company had constructed a proposed defensive position, and Zhou Weiguo found Huang Ying and Liu Zhihui in front.
Seeing Liu Zhihui wearing a bandage, he hummed, "What, are you injured?"
Liu Zhihui looked at his arm: "Brother, it took a bite from the bayonet. It's okay."
Although it was a minor injury, Zhou Weiguo nodded without paying too much attention and pointed to the front: "What's the situation?"
Huang Ying handed the telescope to Zhou Weiguo, and after waiting for him to finish the observation, she said: "Commander, there are about two hundred people building defensive positions in front. The Sichuan Army and the Fourth Battalion attacked once, but they were pushed back.
We planned to return immediately, but saw they were on defense, so we had no choice but to come over to assist.
"Shangjing is inside." Zhou Weiguo put down the telescope and squinted his eyes and said.
Nan Zhongmei frowned. There was no shadow of the officer on the opposite side at all. How could Zhou Weiguo be sure that Shangjing was on the opposite side?
"How do you know that Shangjing is inside?" Nan Zhongmei looked sideways at the affirmation in Zhou Weiguo's eyes and asked with confusion.
Zhou Weiguo handed the telescope to Nan Zhongmei; "See for yourself how this is different from the fortifications we encountered not long ago."
Nan Zhongmei took it and looked at it.
It seems that there is no difference, they all use ring fortifications.
But the question is, what does this mean?
"Japanese soldiers obey the command of their officers. The habits of officers are not easy to change. The last time Uekai responded, he used vicious methods such as ring fortifications. So this time, he will definitely use this method again, so I
I can be sure that the person above is Shangjing."
its not right?
Uye is a colonel, so how could Yoshida let a regiment captain serve as the rear guard? Isn't this overqualified? A squadron leader is actually enough, so why use a colonel to serve as the rear guard?
This is obviously not cost-effective.
"Yoshida is crazy. How could he use a colonel to lead the rear? This..."
Questioning, Zhou Weiguo chuckled, folded his arms and said, "Shangjing asked me to deal with him twice in a row, and both times he came back defeated. He is considered an abandoned son by Yoshida. Such a person
, If you don’t stay to serve as the rear, why should you stay? Should we let him continue to command the troops?”
Zhou Weiguo's explanation made Nan Zhongmei feel that it made sense.
She raised her finger and pointed in the distance; "Then how do we attack? Even though he only has about two hundred people, if we attack, we will probably suffer a lot of casualties.
The troops at the rear are generally equipped with sufficient ammunition.
"I'm afraid they've allocated a lot of ammunition, especially the machine guns. I'm afraid it's been strengthened. Could it be that we're going to mobilize the artillery?"
The artillery won't make much noise either.
Zhou Weiguo pointed at the refurbished soil; "Did you see that, I was already scared to go to the well? Look at how much soil was piled up during the excavation. He must have been prepared. The hole to avoid the blast must have been dug."
.On this point, if we attack, the damage to him will not be very great. On the contrary, because our attack is on a flat ground, we will suffer the most losses."
That's trouble?
Nan Zhongmei leaned on the trench next to her with some frustration and muttered: "What should we do? The attack will cause heavy losses. If we don't attack, will our troops be wasted here with them? We are in front, but they may fight at any time.
You came up."
The troops at the front were only so small, but here, nearly two battalions plus a special agent company were consumed, and nearly two-thirds of the troops were gone.
The next battle will definitely not be easy. If there is no follow-up reinforcements, how will the special agent team respond?
Seeing Nan Zhongmei's frustrated and helpless look, Xiao Ya smiled and came to her; "How did I realize that your brain has been a little weak during this period? What affected you?"
She didn't know what affected her, but she also noticed that during this period, her brain seemed to be really not as good as before.
Looking at Zhou Weiguo who was talking to Huang Ying and Liu Zhihui next to him, Nan Zhongmei frowned and stretched out her hand; "It should be because of him."
Xiao Ya smiled and took the kettle from the side and handed it to Nan Zhongmei.
Nan Zhongmei waved her hand; "I'm not thirsty."
Xiao Ya raised her eyes and looked at the day. The weather was very good, the sun was so strong that it made people feel hot when it hit them. Some soldiers were watering the barrels of machine guns with water.
"How long can a pot of water last? Even if it is divided, how long can they last." Xiao Ya said slowly.
Nan Zhongmei turned to look at Xiao Ya, and her intuition told her that Xiao Ya in front of her was telling her something, but she did not open this point.
In the end, her eyes gradually shifted to the kettle that Xiao Ya had not put down, and then looked at the Japanese position in the distance.
