Chapter 1349 Let more devils get on the dirt plane
More and more Eighth Route Army troops entered the position through the breach, and then attacked on both wings, trying to kill all the remaining imperial troops on the defense line.
The first line of defense was at least twice as long as the second line, and more than half of the troops on the high ground were stationed on it.
If it is killed, the second line of defense and the third line of defense that have just started digging trenches may not be able to hold on for two hours with insufficient troops, let alone until reinforcements arrive.
The chief of staff saw this and was anxious in his heart.
Seeing that the captain's face was always sullen and his expression became more and more solemn, but he didn't speak, I quickly reminded him.
"Sir, we must find a way to reinforce the first line of defense. We cannot just let the Eighth Route Army break through."
"Retreat!" the commander ordered through gritted teeth.
"The position on the defense line has not been repaired. There is not even a complete trench. The Eighth Route Army still has the firepower advantage. No matter how many reinforcements come in, it cannot defend it. Moreover, the troops are wasted in vain. They lose their wives and lose their troops."
"Immediately send a retreat signal to the troops on the defense line. All living people will retreat to the second line of defense to block the Eighth Route Army's offensive. Then divide half of the troops to build the third line of defense. The faster the better."
The defense line that was finally built was lost, and the chief of staff was very unhappy.
But he would be even more unwilling to lose his wife and troops, and lose troops and generals on a line of defense that was destined to be undefendable.
Comparing the two, he chose to support the commander's order and answered quickly.
"Your Majesty is wise, I am humble enough to give orders now."
At the enemy headquarters in front of the garrison, a few people noticed the Japanese and puppet troops as soon as they started to retreat.
Hong Linfeng looked over, and before he had time to warn, Li Hao began to give orders: "The offensive troops occupied the first line of defense of the Japanese and puppet troops and stopped advancing, using mortars and heavy machine guns to attack their second line of defense.
Push the remaining Japanese and puppet troops as far as possible to the top of the mountain."
Hong Linfeng's eyes lit up, and he instantly understood what the regiment leader was thinking, and quickly replied: "I will make arrangements now to let more Japanese and puppet troops have a taste of what it's like to fly on a ground plane."
On the battlefield of Pingshui Town, after the regiment commander received a reply from the military headquarters, his worries were relieved.
Because of this order, the military headquarters would not hold itself responsible for the loss of troops and generals here, and immediately commanded the troops to break out.
Use infantry squads as units to disperse and run.
The remaining Japanese and puppet troops around Captain Guanglian were divided into fifteen or sixteen breakout troops.
"Let's go from this way..." The commander of the regiment looked at the subordinates chosen by the chief of staff and gave a serious order.
Before leaving, he stared at the chief of staff and finally said: "We will each lead an infantry squad to break out separately. If I don't run out, you will temporarily act as the commander of the alliance."
"If we don't run out, the captain of the 1st Infantry Battalion will temporarily act as the joint captain."
"If he also dies, then the captain of the second brigade will become the co-captain, and so on."
"Command the troops who successfully broke through to march quickly to reinforce Wushanao, join the East Road breakout troops, and withdraw from the garrison base area as soon as possible."
The chief of staff quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, captain, with the blessing of Amaterasu, we will definitely be able to escape alive."
The captain nodded and did not answer. After glancing at the approaching chariot behind him, he ordered with a deep expression: "Let's go..."
As the supreme commander of the entire unit, although the wing leader only led an infantry squad, this squad was qualitatively different from other units.
First of all, it has nearly 20 more people than an ordinary infantry squad, and is equipped with two mortars that have not been destroyed and a heavy machine gun. It is truly a strengthened infantry squad that can advance, attack, retreat, or defend.
Secondly, these Japs are elite veterans temporarily selected by the Chief of Staff from among hundreds of people, and they are very powerful in combat.
It can be seen from their marching formation.
The co-captain is always in the middle of the entire team.
Every Japs holds a gun in their hand, loaded with bullets, ready to fight at any time.
Although there were not many people, forwards and rearguards were arranged to ensure that the troops would not be surprised during the march.
After running nearly five hundred meters, the roar of the car sounded again behind everyone, and the sound became louder and louder.
The captain's heart skipped a beat, knowing that he was unfortunately being targeted.
His face quickly turned pale, and he subconsciously pulled out his pistol, turned on the safety, and prepared to fight to the death with the pursuing Eighth Route Army.
"Report..." A scout from behind gasped and caught up.
"Sir, there is an armed car chasing us from behind. There is still 300 meters between us."
A glimmer of hope quickly ignited on the desperate face of the regiment leader. He stared at the scout and asked, "Are you sure there is only one armed car and no cavalry following it?"
"Hi!" the scout confirmed.
"We only saw an armed car, not cavalry."
"The cavalry's target is huge, and it will definitely not be missed."
"That's great..." The co-captain almost jumped with excitement.
Then he shouted: "The Eighth Route Army is too arrogant."
"Only one armed car was sent to chase us, not even the cavalry to protect the chariot. We simply died in battle."
"The troops will stop immediately and establish a defense line on the spot. I will destroy this armed car here and then retreat."
Dozens of Japanese soldiers responded quickly to the battle. They quickly set up light and heavy machine guns and mortars. More than thirty Japanese soldiers lay among the heavy weapons, holding rifles and staring motionlessly in front of them.
There were dozens of remaining Japanese soldiers surrounding the commander to protect his safety.
"Rumble..."
In the blink of an eye, the rapidly advancing armed car came into view of the commander.
He quickly drew out his command knife and gave a serious order: "Be ready for battle. Bring the armed car closer and we will fire. Organize a death squad. After the machine guns and mortars start firing, take the opportunity to rush over and blow it up with grenades!"
Two hundred meters...one hundred and fifty meters...one hundred meters...
When everyone could clearly see the outline of the armed car, the commander still had a serious expression and had no intention of giving orders.
Seventy meters...
When the blocking troops were about to be exposed if they didn't open fire, the commander finally spoke.
"Da da da……"
The heavy machine gun fired first, long tongues of flame ejected from the muzzle, and bullets flew toward the armed car like meteors, hitting the iron plate and causing sparks to fly.
"Boom...boom..."
Mortars also joined the battle. Two shells hit the armed car, one on the left and one on the right. The splash of fire illuminated the armed car clearly.
For the first time, the wing leader saw what an armed car looked like up close.
The entire car was completely wrapped in iron plates, except for the shooting holes, everything else was tightly sealed.
"Da da da……"
Just when his face was filled with shock and he was stunned, the machine gun mounted on the armed car fired.
The co-pilot and the roof of the car spurted out two tongues of flame at the same time, one long and one short, and fired condescendingly at the heavy machine gun position.
