Chapter 141 Ambush
"withdraw!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Feng shouted immediately.

Seeing Chen Feng's serious face, Xiaomi immediately yelled, "Get out of the knife company!"

Although the soldiers of the independent regiment who were chasing and protecting Sato's escape were a little confused when they heard the order to retreat, the military order was like a mountain. Even if the battle situation at this time was one-sided for the third battalion and the sharp knife company, they would retreat immediately .

After running for tens of meters, the gunshots behind him stopped, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who had been chasing and beating him did not catch up, which made Sato feel relieved.

As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, Sato began to wonder, what's going on, the pursuers stopped chasing, then why did they spend so much effort?Their target is not me?
Although Sato didn't want to understand why, but as a commander, he still had a good understanding of the battlefield. If the Eighth Route Army's pursuers retreated suddenly, nine out of ten the reinforcements fell.

Thinking of this, Sato's spirit was greatly lifted. He stopped and waved to the dozen or so ghost soldiers who followed him: "Warriors of the Empire!"

The dozen or so devil soldiers were at a loss. They didn't understand what Captain Sato was going to do. Why don't they run and stop and wait to be surrounded?

"The Chinese don't dare to chase after them!"

Seeing these more than a dozen warriors from the empire staring blankly at him, Sato pulled out the command knife from his waist and said, "Matsui-kun and Maoli-kun have come to help!"

"Warriors! Go back!"

Needless to say, Sato, they also discovered that the group of Eighth Route Army who had been chasing them was no longer visible, and their plaster flag appeared in the distance, reinforcements are coming!

Seeing the arrival of reinforcements suddenly when everyone thought they were going to die here today, this will greatly improve the morale of any army. The hanging hearts of the dozen or so devil soldiers surrounded by Sato finally let go When they got down, the two squadrons were encircled and suppressed, and there were only a dozen of them left. It was impossible to say that they were not afraid. At this time, they saw a strong revenge anger rising in the hearts of the reinforcements.

"Warriors!"

"charge!"

After chasing for nearly [-] meters, Sato met the advance team of the Matsui Brigade who came back to help.

Not long after, Matsui also rushed over. After seeing Sato, he immediately asked with concern: "Your Excellency, Captain, I am relieved to see that you are fine."

I, named Squadron Commander Ikeda, pursued the Chinese troops of your Excellency the raiding regiment commander.

"Yangxi!"

Sato nodded and patted Matsui on the shoulder and said, "Matsui-san, you did a good job."

At this moment, Mao Li also came with his brigade, just in time to see the scene where Sato patted Matsui's shoulder.

Mao Li blamed himself for taking a step too late, and while blaming himself, he ran towards Sato, and as soon as he came over, he looked eagerly concerned: "Your Excellency, the captain, the subordinates are late, let the captain Your Excellency is frightened because your subordinates are incompetent."

Seeing Mao Li bowed at ninety degrees, Sato immediately helped Mao Li up, patted Mao Li's arm and said, "Maori-san, what are you talking about?"

"Okay, don't blame yourself. It's time to change the combat policy against the Chinese in the Xiaowangzhuang position."

Said that Sato looked around, but did not see Yanqiao, thinking that Yanqiao's brigade was attacking the Chinese battlefield from the front, but he was attacked by a small group of Chinese troops. The first brigade hurried back to help, compared to the Yanqiao brigade's offensive plan was blocked.

Thinking of this, Sato asked Matsui and Mouri, "How is the battle in Xiaowangzhuang?"

When Matsui and Maori heard Sato ask about the situation on the Xiaowangzhuang battlefield, the two met and Matsui said, "Reporting to Your Excellency, Captain, Yanqiao-kun's brigade did not take the Xiaowangzhuang position. It was blocked by the Chinese National Army."

"Nani?"

"You were blocked by the national army?"

Regarding the situation of the battle, Sato knew it well, but what he couldn't understand was how the national army appeared. After pondering for a moment, he asked: "Do you know which army is the national army supporting the Eighth Route Army?"

Matsui shook his head and said, "Reporting to your Excellency, the captain, the national army that exchanged fire with us doesn't know their designation, but it seems that they are not a regular national army sequence unit, but a local militia."

"A local militia?"

"Hey Yi, that's how they feel to me." Matsui said affirmatively.

After pondering for a moment, Sato figured it out. The Hebei Army Command's policy on the entire Hebei region had already compressed the armed forces against the imperial army to the point that there was no room for them to survive, and the regular troops of the national army were basically withdrawn. In the southern Hebei area, although it is strange that such a local militia suddenly appeared on the Xiaowangzhuang battlefield, it is not inexplicable and understandable.

After listening to Matsui's description of the national army militia, Sato had a general understanding of the sudden reinforcements, and said with a sneer: "Under the artillery fire of the Great Japanese Empire, a local militia is not enough fear."

"Where is Yanqiao? Have you got in touch?"

The communications soldier took off his earphones and said to Sato: "Your Excellency, Captain of the Reporting Coalition, I have already contacted Captain Yanqiao, and I am on my way."

Sato glanced at his watch and said to the communications soldier, "Record the order!"

"Tell Yanqiao that he should stay there to rest, and don't come here. I'm going to launch a night attack on Xiaowangzhuang's position!"

"Hi!"

The messenger went to contact Yanqiao, Matsui and Mouri looked at each other, "Night attack?"

"Your Excellency, Captain, is it inappropriate to launch a night attack on the Chinese in the Xiaowangzhuang position?" Matsui asked cautiously.

We have already fought a battle today, and it ended with the defeat of the imperial army. Although it is not appropriate to say that they were defeated, they did withdraw halfway from the battlefield. It is somewhat affected, and then a night attack will be launched at night. For the warriors of the empire, there is not much rest time. If they are so tired, their combat effectiveness will be affected.

Mao Li also said the same thing, he thought the same as Matsui, this battle was Yanqiao's brigade's main attack, and Yanqiao's brigade suffered the most losses, his brigade and Matsui's brigade were just interspersed on the battlefield, but Yanqiao's brigade The damage of the two brigades was obvious to all, and the firepower of the Chinese people was still very fierce. It was not because they were afraid, but they felt that the tactic of night attack was somewhat inferior to the full-line attack during the day.

Seeing that Matsui and Mouri had different opinions, Sato said to Matsui and Mouri with a calm face: "After this battle, the losses of the Chinese people are greater than ours, and they have no supplies yet. Fighting is exhausting and tiring. The Chinese people are tired, and the warriors of the empire are also tired, but they are on the defensive side. They don't know when we will attack, so they will always be on guard, so that the Chinese people will be more tired, so I chose to attack at night. When these Chinese people are very tired, wipe them all out!"

Sato was not wrong to say so, Matsui and Mori wanted to refute, but Sato was the supreme commander of the entire regiment, and the commander had already prepared the tactics, so they really couldn't resist and could only follow orders.

Mr. Matsui and Mr. Maori, let the warriors of the empire take a good rest and wait for the night to come. Together, we will wipe out the Chinese in the Xiaowangzhuang position.

"Hi!"

Standing on the hillside, Sato looked at the Xiaowangzhuang position in the distance and said with a sneer, "The warriors of the empire can rest, but the Chinese should not rest."

"Record order!"

"Three rounds of shelling on Xiaowangzhuang's position! Then power up Hengshui Airport, and launch a round of air strikes on Xiaowangzhuang's position at five o'clock in the afternoon!"

Chen Feng and Xiaomi led the soldiers of the Independence Regiment to quickly evacuate towards Xiao Wangzhang's position. On the way to evacuate, they encountered a squadron sent by the Matsui Brigade to pursue the Independence Regiment. Ikeda Squadron, suppressed by the strong firepower of the sharp knife company, had to slow down its pursuit. Once the pursuit slowed down, it was still in a forest, and Ikeda Squadron could not see the fighters of the independent regiment at all.

A squad officer from Ikeda Squadron hurried in and said, "Report sir, we have lost track of this Chinese unit."

"Baga, how could a team of hundreds of people disappear out of thin air?" Ikeda Shinichi said angrily.

"Hay!"

The squad leader didn't dare to refute, so he could only lower his head and respond, and respectfully accepted Ikeda's reprimand. The squad leader felt aggrieved enough. The Chinese people's firepower is fierce. If you don't let them chase hard, it will be lost. Trace, you blame me, you idiot!

Ikeda also knew that it was meaningless to be angry with the squad leader in front of him, so he immediately ordered the entire squadron to be divided into three squads. Although it is very likely that one or half of the squadron will be eaten up after the division, it is impossible to pursue this branch. The headquarters of the Sato Regiment also killed the Chinese team who wanted to escape after killing the deputy of the Regiment. Ikeda could only apologize by cutting himself open.

Just when Ikeda was frightened and divided his troops to search, the Hayama Squadron of the Mori Battalion rushed over.

As soon as Hayayama and Ikeda met, Hayayama agreed with Ikeda's approach, but Hayayama also had a different opinion. One team was too small, so he suggested that the two squadrons be divided into three search teams, so as to avoid being swallowed by a single team The danger of a squad.

"Order: All joint teams set out to search for this hateful Chinese army!" Ikeda ordered.

"Hay!"

Following Ikeda's order, the joint search team composed of Hayayama and Ikeda Squadron moved quickly.

After temporarily catching up with the devil's pursuers, the soldiers of the third battalion of the independent regiment and the sharp knife company took a temporary rest for 10 minutes. Chen Feng realized that he couldn't stay any longer, otherwise he might be chased by the devil, so he gathered all the soldiers immediately. The soldiers continued to move towards the Xiaowangzhuang position more than ten kilometers away.

However, less than 10 minutes after Chen Feng, Xiaomi and others left, a small army of about 100 people arrived at the place where Xiaomi and Chen Feng had rested. After searching, they found the place where Chen Feng, Xiaomi and others had rested. place.

After inspecting the scene, the devil officer who led the team immediately said in a deep voice: "Judging from the traces left on the scene, there should be more than 100 people resting here. Judging from the blood stains on the ground, there should be some wounded among them." , so that they will not go too fast. Based on the analysis of the footprints on the ground, the opponent probably fled in the direction of Xiaowangzhuang in the west. We immediately speed up our pursuit, and we must not let this remnant soldier escape!"

"Hay!"

"In addition, send a signal to the Xiaotian team to get them closer to us!" The devil officer said again.

"Hay!"

Although Chen Feng, Xiaomi and others knew that the devil was not far behind them, they did not expect the devil to be so fast.

The devil's joint team was about to catch up, and within a few minutes, the two soldiers of the sharp knife company in charge of the rear hurriedly caught up and reported: "Company commander, it's not good, the little devil is catching up! We are less than a hundred meters away !"

Xiaomi was taken aback when he heard the words, and then asked, "Are you sure it's the little devil's pursuer who is less than [-] meters away?"

"It can't be wrong. In addition, we also heard the barking of wolf dogs. Obviously, the little devil used wolf dogs to chase us." One of the soldiers of the sharp knife company replied.

"Then see how many little devils there are?" Xiaomi asked calmly.

"There are about a hundred people, it looks like two standard infantry squads!" Liu Shi replied.

Xiaomi immediately said loudly: "Everyone stop moving forward!"

Hearing Xiaomi's order, everyone in Sharp Knife Company subconsciously stopped and fixed their eyes on Xiaomi.

"Brothers, the chasing soldiers of the little devils are catching up. There are about two squads of troops. I mean, eat these bastards before evacuating, otherwise it is not good to be bitten by the tail. Let's give three Brothers in the battalion, buy some time to evacuate."

Seeing the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company stop, Chen Feng immediately stopped the soldiers of the third battalion as well. Chen Feng quickly ran to Gulai and asked, "Xiaomi, what's going on?"

After Xiaomi explained the situation, Chen Feng immediately objected: "No, let's withdraw together!"

"You and I are not sure whether the chasing devils are one or two. You can't take risks. One chasing soldier is fine. If there are two or three, you won't even have a chance to escape!"

Seeing that Xiaomi wanted to refute, Chen Feng continued: "It's not easy for Shi Lei to save a family of sharp knives, you can't just ruin it like this!"

"You withdraw, I'll stop."

"The third battalion is now listening to my orders and preparing to fight!"

"Yes!" Everyone in the third battalion said in unison.

Xiaomi slapped his thigh, "Brother Chen! What are you doing!"

Chen Feng said: "Retreat, I'll ambush the devils and kill you."

"Company Commander, the devil is here!" A sharp-eyed soldier of the Sharp Knife Company shouted in a low voice.

Xiaomi looked at Chen Feng, smiled wryly and said, "Brother Chen, don't you think you've wasted your chance!"

Seeing that Chen Feng was also smiling wryly at him, Xiaomi shook his head and shouted: "Sharp Knife Company is ready to fight!"

Soon, the sharp knife company and the third battalion formed a "two" ambush line in this woods.

Xiaomi looked around and said: "Pay attention to concealment, don't expose the target, and don't rush to fire, wait for my order, understand?"

"Yes!"

Looking at the devils in sight, Xiaomi estimated that there would be two teams, and the sharp knife would be able to eat the two teams by himself. Putting down the binoculars, Xiaomi shouted in a low voice: "Keep calm, no I ordered anyone to fucking stop shooting!"

"If the little devils dare to catch up, I will take you and eat them!"
