"Hurry up and get out of here, sir! The Eighth Route Army is coming to kill you!" the guard captain got up from the ground and began to give orders.
"Boom, boom, boom..." As soon as he finished speaking, the explosion sounded again.
The impact points were the same as before, still concentrated around the headquarters tent.
In this round of explosions, in addition to the headquarters tent, several nearby tents were also affected and were blown up one after another.
The soldiers who rushed out of the tent were also blown over. Some unlucky soldiers were hit by shell fragments on the spot and screamed and turned into corpses.
The guard captain reacted quickly and immediately saw the purpose of the guard group and quickly ordered: "The enemy is eyeing our headquarters and wants to destroy our chain of command!"
"Protect the commander to go to the front line and join the attacking troops. This place may be occupied by the Eighth Route Army at any time..."
"Da da da……"
The gunfire around them became thicker and louder, and the reconnaissance company that rushed over had already exchanged fire with the Japanese guard troops.
The reconnaissance company is the most powerful unit in the garrison group besides the commandos, and the guard units around the colonel are also the most powerful fighter jets in the Japanese army.
When two elite teams collide, the fight is destined to be fierce.
At first, the guard troops were caught off guard by the reconnaissance company and continued to retreat.
After more and more guard troops joined the battle, the Japanese army finally regained control, stabilized the defense line, and temporarily blocked the offensive of the reconnaissance company.
But it didn't last long.
In order to capture the Laiyuan Independent Battalion station as soon as possible, the colonel mobilized all artillery in the army to the front line. The guard troops were not equipped with any other heavy weapons except two heavy machine guns.
Although the reconnaissance company did not carry heavy machine guns, Li Hao reinforced them with six mortars.
"Boom boom boom..."
Artillery shells continued to hit the defense line of the guard troops.
No matter how powerful the Japanese army is, they are still made of flesh and blood and are still vulnerable to steel artillery shells.
Five or six rounds of artillery shells hit them, and the two heavy machine guns and half of the light machine guns equipped by the guard troops were all misfired. The riflemen also suffered heavy casualties.
The reconnaissance company took the opportunity to launch an assault, and finally tipped the balance of victory towards itself.
"The Japanese commander wants to run, kill him immediately!" Chen Wei, the commander of the reconnaissance company, saw the Japanese commander being transferred and ordered as he ran.
"The artillery fires to hold them back! One platoon of left wing will outflank them, and the second platoon of right wing will penetrate them. They must not be allowed to go to the front line."
On the battlefield, the attacking Japanese troops also noticed the sound of artillery coming from the headquarters.
A battalion captain raised his telescope and saw the headquarters tent shrouded in artillery fire.
They stopped attacking and immediately ordered the troops to withdraw from the battle and return to the headquarters to support them.
But before the men could withdraw from the Independent Battalion, a large number of Eighth Route Army troops appeared around the battlefield.
There were densely packed Eighth Route Army troops everywhere with guns in hand, rushing towards the battlefield like a tide.
"Baga! We are surrounded!" Although the captain couldn't figure out where the Eighth Route Army around him came from, he could still see his dangerous situation at a glance.
His face suddenly darkened, and he gave an urgent order: "Gather the troops immediately. While the Eighth Route Army's encirclement has just been formed and is not yet stable, quickly break out and return to the headquarters..."
"Woooooooo..."
"Bombardment, concealment..." the adjutant standing next to the captain suddenly shouted. His whole body was as agile as a leopard, and he quickly pounced on the captain and pushed him to the ground.
Only then did the "boom boom..." explosion ring in everyone's ears. The nearest shell was only twenty meters away from them. A slight deviation could kill them.
More shells hit the retreating attacking troops.
Groups of fireballs wrapped in black smoke rose from the ground. After each shell exploded, a large number of corpses fell around the impact point, including puppet soldiers and Japanese soldiers.
The captain was beaten to pieces, but he did not lose his mind. He got up from the ground and hurriedly ordered: "What are you doing standing still? Go gather the troops and get out of here."
"Let's break out toward the headquarters, fight out first, and then return to support the commander..."
The major gave the order and moved in the direction where he was preparing to break out.
This place has been targeted by the Eighth Route Army artillery. It is too dangerous and we must leave immediately, otherwise we may be killed by artillery shells at any time.
"Boom boom boom..."
After running more than ten meters, the second round of shells came down, and a violent explosion sounded instantly behind him.
The place where everyone had just been was hit by a shell. Several soldiers who ran there were blown over and never got up again.
The major was trembling with fright and continued to order: "Continue to move and get out of here!"
"Kill... da da da..."
Three to four hundred meters ahead, the Eighth Route Army rushing towards us ran faster and faster.
As the encirclement continues to shrink, the density of troops becomes higher and higher.
When the battlefield is five or six hundred meters away, the attacking troops can barely form a circle by lining up in a row.
Now the attacking troops can line up in two rows, front and back.
Seeing the Japs rushing toward them, the nearby Eighth Route Army immediately concentrated in the direction where the Japanese troops were about to break out, and formed a semicircular encirclement before the exchange of fire, preparing to swallow up the oncoming Japanese troops.
The major was in a hurry to break out of the encirclement, and as the sky gradually darkened, he did not notice the Eighth Route Army encircling him.
When the shouts of killing reached his ears, the sound of gunshots from the surrounding Eighth Route Army also came.
Bullets flew into the breakout troops from different directions, and the Japanese troops seemed to be taking off their clothes. Dozens of people standing on the outermost perimeter were killed instantly.
"Charge forward!" the major commanded through gritted teeth.
He was heartbroken over the loss of his subordinates, but at this moment he had no other choice but to break out.
And the longer you stay in the encirclement, the smaller the chance of successfully breaking out.
Only by confronting the enemy head-on and forcing a breakout from the front can they hope to break out.
He quickly drew out his command knife, pointed forward and shouted: "Warriors, this is our only hope to fight out. While there are not many Eighth Route Army in front of us, rush out immediately, so that we can survive...Kill them!"
"There is no need for the troops behind to assemble. They can just rush here and break out. One by one they can break out."
The Japanese around were like crazy, charging forward with guns in hand, chests puffed out, howling.
The bullets fired in front of them were completely out of their consideration. The soldiers in front died, and the soldiers behind continued to charge.
In the blink of an eye, a corpse fell to the ground in front of the captain. The soldiers behind him had no choice but to step on the corpse and rush forward.
The captain's heart was bleeding. The soldiers who kept falling to the ground in front of him were all his subordinates.
If it were a frontal battlefield, one of them could defeat at least two Eighth Route Army troops.
Now he was shot to death without even seeing the shadow of the Eighth Route Army soldiers. It was so unjust.
But there was nothing he could do.
If you want to successfully break through, someone must sacrifice. Only if they die can more soldiers survive.
