Nearly a thousand troops quickly left the battlefield, turned around and retreated to the rear.
The remnants of the Japanese army in the ambush circle also heard the roar of the aircraft engines. Facing the hastily retreating independence regiment soldiers, they did not pursue them.
It's not that they don't want to, it's just that they don't have the ability to fight back.
The remnants of less than a hundred men, half of whom are still baggage troops without much combat effectiveness, would not only be unable to take revenge if they were to chase them out rashly, but they might even be trapped themselves.
Besides, after the plane arrives, the planes in the sky will definitely take revenge on you.
Soon, Japanese aircraft arrived, an escort fighter and a bomber.
Although the Eighth Route Army on the ground had begun to retreat, the two planes still dived down to the ground regardless.
Aerial bombs, aerial bullets, launch them wherever there are more Eighth Route Army troops gathered on the ground.
Not long after, a large number of corpses appeared on the way the Second Battalion retreated.
"Get out of here, the Japs are so arrogant in flying. I was too careless and didn't expect that the Japs would fly out the plane just to rescue them!" Zhang Yunshan shouted in pain and regret.
Instructor Wang Liang immediately added: "Battal Commander, I am also responsible. The most important thing now is to hope that the Japanese plane will leave soon, so that we will lose fewer soldiers. Being killed by the Japanese plane, such a sacrifice is too humiliating!"
After the two planes flew arrogantly for nearly five minutes, they finally flapped their wings and flew away.
Zhang Yunshan didn't say a word, and directly ordered: "Quickly, treat the wounded, and the troops will continue to retreat. No one can guarantee that there will be Japanese planes coming next!"
Half an hour later, all the troops withdrew from the battlefield, and a bloody casualty figure was sent to Zhang Yunshan.
Although the troops retreated in time, the aircraft's lethality was too great.
Moreover, too many soldiers in the army saw aircraft for the first time and had little experience in air defense. Especially local troops with a large proportion of new recruits, faced with aircraft bombing, did not know how to disperse and conceal themselves, and still used squads and platoons as units.
Watching bullets and bombs flying towards you!
"More than two hundred people died and more than a hundred were injured, half of whom were seriously injured! The little devil simply got out of here. Two planes caused nearly 400 casualties to us. After my Second Battalion came out alone, there were no
I have suffered such a big loss." Zhang Yunshan, whose eyes were red, was like an angry lion, cursing loudly.
Wang Liang wanted to be more sensible and quickly reminded: "We don't have the conditions for the seriously injured here. They must be sent to the regiment field hospital immediately, otherwise the number of sacrificed soldiers will increase!"
"I will take them there myself!" Zhang Yunshan quickly replied.
"We have suffered such a big loss this time, and a punishment is definitely inevitable. Moreover, I have to find the regiment leader and political commissar to ask for punishment myself, otherwise I will be sorry for the cadres and soldiers who died on the battlefield!"
"Old Wang, you stay, I will take the first company, and we will send the wounded to each other and set off immediately!"
Not long after Zhang Yunshan arrived at the Independent Regiment Headquarters, word spread that the Second Battalion suffered heavy losses in front of the Japanese planes.
When Wang Ping saw Zhang Yunshan, he cursed angrily: "Plane, it's a Japanese plane again. What do you, Zhang Yunshan, do for food? Didn't we suffer a lot from eating Japanese planes last time we fought with the Ono Brigade? Why don't you remember better?"
.More than two hundred soldiers died because of your carelessness, are you worthy of them!"
Political commissar Cheng Xiao quickly comforted him: "Commander, don't be angry, no one would have thought that the Japanese would send out a plane for hundreds of people!"
"I think Battalion Commander Zhang must have been plotted by the Japanese!"
"Definitely!" Zhang Yunshan reacted immediately, and then shouted with a look of realization.
"I have never encountered a Japanese plane before. This time there were two Japanese planes. This must be a conspiracy. The little Japanese had calculated that I would ambush his baggage troops, and then he had already prepared the planes and was waiting for me.
Come out and attack!"
"Why, are you still reasonable?" Wang Ping asked with a frown.
Then he cursed mercilessly: "The reason why I'm angry is not because you have no idea that the Japanese will send planes to reinforce the transport team. I'm so angry that after you saw the Japanese planes, you had no other ideas. You only wanted to retreat, and there was no way to fight against the Japanese planes."
I don’t even have the courage!”
"What? Are you bitten by a snake once and afraid of ropes for ten years? If so, you, Zhang Yunshan, should stop being the battalion commander as soon as possible. You will retreat after seeing the Japanese plane. If the Japanese know about this, just send the plane over.
I can defeat you without even fighting!"
Seeing Zhang Yunshan's aggrieved look and wanting to defend himself, Wang Ping didn't give him the chance and continued to curse!
"Why, you're not convinced! Think about this ambush. When you ambush the Japs, not only were the Japs not completely wiped out, but no supplies were captured, you also suffered heavy losses. You were left with nothing but armor after being blown up by the Japs' planes.
"
"To describe it in one word, I lost my wife and lost my troops!"
"Since the formation of our independent regiment, I have never suffered such a big loss on the battlefield!"
Cheng Xiao, who didn't understand why Wang Ping was so angry at first, slowly came to his senses.
In order to ease Zhang Yunshan's embarrassment, he immediately interrupted: "Captain Zhang, the analysis of the regiment commander is very correct. The Japs' planes are not without their weaknesses. You can't think of retreating when you see them."
"If the planes had no weaknesses, the last time the Japanese air raided our headquarters, it would have been impossible to destroy three Japanese planes at once!"
Zhang Yunshan quickly asked: "Captain, are you saying that when facing Japanese planes on the battlefield, I have other ways to reduce losses!"
"Not only can we reduce losses, but we can also avoid the outcome of losing both our wives and our troops."
"What can we do?" Zhang Yunshan asked immediately.
Cheng Xiao also stared at Wang Ping with his eyes, waiting for the next step.
"Attack and fight with the remaining Japs on the position. Even if the Japs' planes want to blow us up, they can't bomb us with them. Moreover, they are in the sky and can't see clearly how many Japs are on the ground.
And you can also make some lies for the Japanese to mislead the Japanese pilots!"
"In this case, unless the little Japanese pilot wants to be sent to a military court, he will never dare to drop bombs on the battlefield!"
'"If you think about it seriously, is this true?"
"Oh, why didn't I think of that!" Zhang Yunshan shouted with regret on his face.
"When we retreated, there were less than a hundred Japs left on the battlefield, and they were suppressed by us. If we attacked, the casualties would definitely not exceed a hundred people. As long as we fight in a melee until the Japs plane leaves, we can not only eliminate the remaining Japs
, and also seize all the equipment and materials transported by the Japanese!"
After finishing speaking, Zhang Yunshan said directly to Wang Ping with a serious face: "Captain, I request punishment. Because of my command, not only did I miss a fighter plane, but I also caused many unnecessary casualties to the troops."
"For such a big mistake, punishment will definitely be inevitable!" Wang Ping scolded without being polite!
