"Your Excellency, Division Commander! Please give the order immediately! Retreat first!"
Shirota clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. He didn't expect that he would be attacked at night by the Independent Division! Moreover, until now, he didn't know how many troops the Independent Division had! But judging from the density of firepower, he estimated that
, there are always thousands.
Originally, his military strength was far superior to that of the independent division!
The sound of gunfire in his ears made him unwilling!
Unwilling to face the independent division, we have to retreat!
"Gather the soldiers! Counterattack!" Shirota ordered. He knew that if he was defeated all the way, then he was really defeated. Only by persisting in fighting could he possibly turn the corner.
"Hi!"
Even in their panic, the Japanese soldiers began to slowly calm down.
Gathered around Shirota.
Zhou Weiguo squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, the Japanese commander was not too stupid. If he just ran away blindly, he might not be able to escape heavy losses tonight.
At this time, their advantages are almost gone.
After all, it was just to catch the Japanese off guard, see how much they could gain, and then turn around and walk north to seize the car!
"Put out half of the remaining bullets in your hand, and then withdraw!"
"yes!"
"Da da da!"
"Da da da!"
Suddenly, there was a loud sound of gunfire.
The Japanese army was also busy counterattacking, but there were not many organized attacks. The gunshots were very sporadic.
"Retreat!" Zhou Weiguo gave the order, and after throwing a grenade towards the Japanese army, began to retreat. Other soldiers also followed suit.
At the same time, the Japanese army's response on Liu Zhihui's side was slightly better than that on Zhou Weiguo's side. Although they still organized a counterattack in time, the losses suffered were also considerable.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander! They are leaving!"
Kimura's face turned pale, "I know."
"Chasing?"
"Baga! Do you think you want to chase me?" Kimura was furious, "I'm afraid the independent division is eager for us to catch up now!"
"Hi!"
"Order the warriors to retreat two kilometers!"
"Hi!"
…
In the black forest, more than a thousand warriors were constantly shuttling back and forth, heading north at the same time.
Finally, the two teams will meet.
"Brother?" Liu Zhihui shouted.
"Well, Xiaohui!" Zhou Weiguo also responded, "How are you doing there?"
"The Japanese didn't dare to chase me! Brother, where are you?"
"Same, I don't dare to chase you!" Zhou Weiguo smiled, "Let's go north and seize the car!"
"Um."
It is indeed not safe to advance in such a forest in the dark, but Zhou Weiguo and the others have nothing to worry about. They must break out of the enemy's blockade tonight and go south to Chengde to meet with Gan Xinda and the others.
Although the Heili River forest area is very large, under the rapid march of Zhou Weiguo and the others, after about an hour, Zhou Weiguo estimated the distance and felt that it would not be too different, "Let's get out of the forest!"
"Um."
When you get out of the woods, you will encounter a Japanese blockade.
Unfortunately, the Japanese army's direction was too long and too thin.
For Zhou Weiguo and the others, they did not pose much of a threat.
"Da da da!"
"boom!"
After a burst of gunfire, the Japanese troops in the area where Zhou Weiguo and others came out have been eliminated. Unfortunately, there are only two cars, which means that the Japanese cars are scattered.
"Brother, what should we do now?"
"Keep grabbing the car! Go north! You can always grab it!"
"good!"
…
Kimura and Shirota communicated with each other and found out that each other had been attacked. While they were angry, they were also very confused. They didn't understand why the independent division did this? Is it just to cause them some trouble?
Although, this is not a little trouble, the casualties are still quite large.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, we have received news from the defense forces! The independent division is breaking through the defense line in the northeast! They want to escape!"
"Nani?"
"Hi! It's true!"
"Baga! Organize people immediately to pursue me!"
"Hi!"
Kimura thought well and just went after him! Unfortunately, at this time, the morale of the Japanese soldiers was already unstable, and they suffered so many injuries from such a surprise attack by the enemy.
Although the soldiers below were unable to do anything due to the orders, they would see the difference when they actually fought.
…
Zhou Weiguo and others fought and captured it all the way. By the time everyone could get in the car, it was already past 3 o'clock.
"Master, that's enough! Car!"
"Okay! Drive! Let's go!"
So, the neatly organized convoy began to drive onto the highway and headed south.
Soldiers who do not drive can take a rest in the car, and those who are injured can have their wounds treated.
"Brother, we just counted the casualties. There are probably more than a hundred brothers who can't keep up with us." Liu Zhihui said, with a somewhat lonely tone. They say that one general can make thousands of bones wither, but some generals don't like this.
Feel.
Zhou Weiguo did not answer, but patted Liu Zhihui on the shoulder. A look between the men was enough.
…
Gan Xinda, on the other hand, received a telegram from Zhou Weiguo in the afternoon and has already started making breakfast at 4 o'clock!
When the soldiers wake up at 5 o'clock, they will have breakfast and prepare to attack directly!
Perhaps, he also wanted to thank the Japanese for building roads extending in all directions in the three eastern provinces, which enabled Zhou Weiguo to carry out such an adventurous and breakthrough plan.
He had also known the location of Zhou Weiguo's attack for a long time. It was a Japanese fortress located in the middle of the western part of the Japanese Kwantung Army's defense line.
As long as that fortress is captured, his army can attack the Japanese troops on both sides from the side.
Of course, the Japanese defense line collapsed.
So, even if he stayed up all night and his eyes were red, he didn't rest.
He wanted to see victory with his own eyes.
This is the first such a big battle that he has commanded.
To say I'm not excited would be a lie.
…
"Your Excellency, Commander! Your Excellency, Commander!" Yoshimoto Sadai knocked loudly on Umezu Yoshijiro's door. It was already five o'clock. He received news from the two divisions in the Heili River Forest Area.
The independent division troops actually broke through their defense line!
This seemed almost impossible to him! But it really happened! Now, he believes that Zhou Weiguo must be among those people!
"Ya Lu! What happened!" Umezu Yoshijiro was still quite angry. He was woken up so early and he always felt angry when he got up. You know, he slept late last night.
"Your Excellency, Commander!" Looking at the angry Umezu Yoshijiro, Yoshimoto Teiichi was helpless, "Just three hours ago, the independent division in the Heili River area broke through our blockade, robbed the warriors' cars, and headed towards
Gone south."
"To the south?"
"Hi!"
"Baga! Are they going to cooperate with the troops from the direction of Beiping to attack?"
"Hey, that should be it!"
"Yalu! A bunch of trash!" Umezu Yoshijiro gritted his teeth. He finally guessed Zhou Weiguo's plan. With great difficulty, he confirmed the plan from two independent division soldiers. He thought he had a chance to win this time, but he didn't expect that he would be defeated by the independent division.
The men of the division escaped! "Pursue immediately! At the same time, tell the frontline troops to be ready! Be careful not to be taken advantage of by the independent division!"
