I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 537: It’s hard to fly with wings!

The 57nd Regiment of the 52th Infantry Division, under the leadership of the commander Naotoshi Sakata, reorganized the team and strode towards Niangziguan.

The 57th Field Artillery Regiment of the 57th Division took their artillery to a relatively wide flat area next to the highway, preparing to set up the artillery there.

Then they shelled the Jinsui Army behind Niangzi's gate.

Their heavy artillery has a range of more than 6 kilometers. This place is less than 5 kilometers away from Niangziguan. Of course, artillery positions can be set up.

……

Just as they were sharpening their swords at Niangzi Pass, in the temporary brigade headquarters of Chu Yunfei in the city of Niangzi Pass, Fang Ligong was saying to Chu Yunfei with a worried face:

"Bridge, it's been two days since we occupied Niangziguan, why hasn't there been any movement from the little Japs?

I always feel something is not normal! "

“It’s really not normal.

But I think it's reasonable. "

Chu Yunfei said something contradictory, which immediately filled Fang Ligong's head with questions.

He quickly asked:

"Traveler, what do you mean-"

"The little devils have suffered such a big loss. In theory, it is their habit to fight back immediately.

But now, all the mobile forces of the Japs in northern Hebei and Shanxi are being held up in Zhongtiao Mountain, and it makes sense that they cannot spare the troops to recapture Niangziguan.

But Li Yunlong hit the water spring, which is what the little devils can't bear even more.

Therefore, even if the little devil finally manages to piece together some troops and come out with some troops, he should first go to trouble Li Yunlong.

It’s not my turn to travel alone! "

Chu Yunfei explained.

"I see.

No wonder you sent someone to keep an eye on Shuiquan. You must want to see when the little Japanese army will launch an attack on Shuiquan?
And then decide our actions? "

Fang Ligong nodded, secretly admiring the other party's foresight.

Actually, before taking Niangzi Pass, they sent scouts to Shuiquan.

"No?

I just want to see if Li Yunlong can hold Shuiquan.

As for us?

We must withdraw tomorrow at the latest? "

Chu Yunfei said categorically.

"Withdraw tomorrow?
Commander Yang said in yesterday's telegram that the reporter who was coming to interview hasn't arrived yet! "

Fang Ligong looks a bit unsightly.

He is also preparing to stand at Niangziguan Gate and accept interviews from reporters!
Paired with a photo of myself standing proudly under the military flag, it is enough to recall the glory of a lifetime!
“It’s impossible if we don’t withdraw!
We didn't seize much food in Niangziguan. The terrain here is steep and material transportation is difficult.

We have 7000 people guarding here. If we run out of food, it would be too dangerous!
Anyway, we have taken enough photos and sent people to the World War II District Chief's Department. It doesn't matter whether the reporter comes or not. "

Chu Yunfei explained.

Hearing him talk about the food problem, Fang Ligong was horrified and nodded quickly:
"Goodbye, traveler!
I will inform the regimental commanders now to make preparations for withdrawal in advance. "

However, before he could go out, a sentry outside suddenly hurried in and shouted:
"Travel seat, east... there are a lot of little devils coming from the east!

It is charging towards us, and it is estimated that it will reach us in less than ten minutes at most! "

"What? Little devil?
How many people came? "

Chu Yunfei's expression changed drastically and he asked quickly.

"At least one alliance! A mighty one!"

The sentry panicked.

"Good guy, you really think highly of me, Chu Yunfei!
He actually sent a team to take back Niangzi Pass! "

Chu Yunfei slapped the table hard.

"Traveler, what should we do now?"

Fang Ligong asked quickly.

"Fight and retreat at the same time, quickly!"

Chu Yunfei gave the order decisively.

"Yes!"

Fang Ligong immediately accepted the order and was ready to deliver it.

However, as soon as he walked out of Chu Yunfei's temporary brigade headquarters, he heard a whistling sound outside, and he quickly shouted in panic:

“Brigade, bombardment!

quick! Avoid the gun! "

Hearing this voice, Chu Yunfei dodged and rushed out of the room, and then saw dozens of cannonballs falling towards him in the sky.

"asshole!
How is the guard post posted?
The Japanese artillerymen were approaching, but they didn't even notice? "

Chu Yunfei roared angrily, and then a hungry tiger pounced on the food, hid in the corner, held his head in his hands, and squatted on the ground.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

The dense explosion of artillery shells resounded throughout Niangziguan.

The explosion caused the soldiers of the 9th Independent Brigade to panic and run wild.

Chu Yunfei couldn't help laughing angrily when he heard the sound of the cannon:

"Good guy, the little devil really thinks highly of me, Chu Yunfei!

They actually used an artillery regiment to bombard me!

Ha ha……"

Fang Ligong crawled to his side and asked anxiously:
"Brigade, it sounds like there is movement from a 105mm howitzer!

Judging from the organization of the Japs, the artillery regiments that are shelling us now may be the artillery regiment attached to the division. We won't be surrounded by a division of the Japs, right? "

When Chu Yunfei heard this, his brows furrowed into the character "Chuan".

If he was really surrounded by a division of the Japs, his 9th Independent Brigade would be unable to fly today!

No matter how confident he is, he will never think that his brigade of 7000 people can break out of the encirclement of a division of the Japs!
Let alone Chu Yunfei, he felt that even if his immediate superior, Commander Yang Xingru, led a division or even an army, and was surrounded by a division of Japs, he might not be able to escape!

But right now, he couldn't just sit back and wait for death.

His brain was running at high speed for thirty seconds before he yelled at the other party to give the order: "Brother Ligong, it's hard to say whether we are surrounded or not.

But I estimate that all the enemies must be one division.

We are simply incapable of defeating such a huge force!

Immediately order the entire brigade to retreat!

The artillery battalion left half of the battalion behind and used all its strength to bombard the regiment coming from the east of the little devil! "

According to common sense, during a land battle, when faced with enemy artillery fire, if our own artillery has the ability to counterattack, we should engage in an artillery battle with the enemy and destroy the opponent's artillery with all our strength.

But now Chu Yunfei knew very well that his artillery battalion only had 12 75mm mountain cannons. If he wanted to fight against an elite artillery regiment of the Japs, it would be a struggle.

Maybe after a few rounds of shelling, all the artillery will be wiped out.

The enemy may lose at most three to five artillery pieces and a hundred artillery pieces.

Therefore, he did not give such an order, but chose to let the artillery bombard the enemy's infantry.

In this way, at least it can greatly delay the enemy's infantry charge and give your own soldiers time to retreat.

In the flash of lightning, he actually used the "Tian Ji horse racing" tactic, which can be regarded as a thorough understanding of the art of war.

"Yes!"

Fang Ligong understood that he meant to sacrifice half of the artillery battalion to give the entire brigade a chance to retreat.

Although he was heartbroken by the six mountain cannons, at this moment, he had no other choice but to carry out Chu Yunfei's orders.

……

Under the "rumbling" artillery fire, Fang Ligong rushed into the house and made frantic calls to the various regiments and battalions stationed in Niangziguan.

Inform them to immediately abandon all unnecessary supplies and retreat with all their strength.

This phone line was also left by the little devils before. After they occupied Niangziguan, they repaired it a little and put it to use.

It has played a big role at this moment.

In less than three minutes, Fang Ligong notified each regiment and battalion of the 9th Independent Brigade of the retreat order.

Then these people immediately abandoned their positions and began to retreat to the west.

Many recruits even threw away their guns and ammunition when they heard the terrible sound of artillery, just for one reason - to run fast.

However, Liang Guoping, commander of the artillery battalion, was heartbroken.

Fang Ligong asked him to leave half of his battalion to fire on the little Japs. Why didn't he understand what he meant?
As an old artilleryman, he knew very well that as soon as his six mountain cannons were fired, they would immediately be hit by the full force of the Japs.

Even if you quickly move your position, it is difficult to completely avoid it.

Looking at the flying cannonballs in the sky, he knew that those people he chose to stay were letting those people die!
They are all brothers who stir the pot, how can he bear it!

He hid his body behind a wall, and then used a telescope to observe the little Japanese rushing towards him.

Seeing the thousands of people rushing towards him like tigers and wolves, he felt cold all over.

A thought flashed through my mind - if I don't withdraw, I will be made dumplings by the little devil!
Thinking of this, he could only shout an order:

"With orders from the brigade, the third and fourth companies immediately dispersed and set up artillery, shelling the little Japanese infantry and interrupting their charging momentum!

Everyone else, push the cannon and move back!

quick! quick! quick! "

Faced with a life-and-death crisis, he still chose to "die as a Taoist friend rather than as a poor Taoist" and sacrifice his third and fourth companies.

It has to be said that there are still people who are willing to carry out Chu Yunfei's orders.

Following Liang Guoping's order, the soldiers of the third and fourth companies of the artillery battalion hurriedly braved the shrapnel flying in the sky, rushed out of the hiding place, pushed their own artillery towards the open area ahead, and prepared for artillery bombardment.

……

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

Raindrop-like shells continued to fall on Niangzi Pass, making the ancient city tremble after thousands of years of war.

It seemed like it was about to collapse at any moment.

The 105mm howitzer is really powerful!
Often, with one shot, within a radius of twenty to thirty meters, shrapnel will fly, gravel will fly, and there will be no grass left!

Fortunately, they followed Ryuken Akiba's order and stopped the bombardment after only two rounds.

This gives the 9th Independent Brigade a chance to escape!
Seeing that the enemy's artillery fire stopped, Chu Yunfei hurriedly stood up, ran to a commanding height, and then used a telescope to check the situation of the entire battlefield.

Then he saw the soldiers from Xiaoguizi's regiment, led by their officers, rushing toward Niangzi Pass while shouting.

The momentum is extremely fierce and the speed is as fast as the wind.

Seeing the little devil's offensive, Chu Yunfei no longer had any luck in his heart.

——This is definitely the elite field force of the little devils, not a second-line defense force!

Seeing his soldiers retreating without their armor, he could only shout to Sun Ming who was following him:
"Sun Ming, hurry up!
Organize a group of people to set up heavy machine guns at the commanding heights behind to cover the retreat of the troops! "

"Yes!"

Sun Ming didn't show any fear. He agreed, shouted loudly, and organized more than a hundred people to set up heavy machine gun firepower points at the commanding heights behind.

……

At this time, Fang Ligong rushed over and shouted to Chu Yunfei:
"Prince, the little Japs are powerful, let's retreat too!
Their artillery positions are set up outside our sight. If they are not secured, they will continue to shell them! "

Chu Yunfei shook his head and said:
"Brother Ligong, you lead the people to retreat first and set up a fire cover point behind!
The brothers haven't withdrawn yet, I, Chu Yunfei, can't run away on my own! "

He knew very well that if he ran away first, the sudden retreat would become even more chaotic.

By then, the Independent 9th Brigade that he had managed to pull together with great difficulty may completely collapse.

He, Chu Yunfei, can never accept this situation!

When Fang Ligong heard what he said, he couldn't help but became anxious and quickly advised:

"Hotel, 'Keep the green hills here so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood'!"

You are worth a thousand dollars, so you shouldn’t take risks! "

Chu Yunfei shook his head firmly:

"Brother Ligong, you don't need to persuade me.

I, Chu Yunfei, can withdraw, but I must not withdraw in front of my brothers!
Execute the order immediately and take people to prepare for blocking and covering!

If we run like this in a swarm now, we can't run very far! "

Seeing that his attitude was so firm, Fang Ligong could only agree and immediately took people to do it.

Seeing Fang Ligong and others leaving, Chu Yunfei immediately said to the guard company soldiers beside him:
"Come forward with me and stop the little devil!
These sons of bitches want to eat me, Chu Yunfei, and half of my teeth will break! "
