Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 298 Being Deceived (Third Change)

Although the devils are all wearing the uniform of the Imperial Association Army, there are some characteristics of the devils.

Bow-legged, short, good at fighting bayonets... Zeng Quan can still spot a series of characteristics at a glance.

The combat effectiveness of the two companies I brought is very good, but to a large extent they rely on strong firepower.As for the individual combat ability of the troops, marksmanship is better.That was when they met a good regiment leader who was willing to give them bullets for training.

But assassination ability cannot be trained in a short period of time.

But the devils are different. The recruits who have just been added to the army have been trained for at least a year, and they are definitely not comparable to the independent regiment.

Therefore, even though there were only a hundred Japanese troops on the road, there were nearly 300 of them.But in the process of fighting against the devils, the army did not take even the slightest advantage.

Three fighters against one devil, still can't get any cheap.

On the battlefield, for almost every Japanese soldier who fell, at least one soldier fell and lost his life.

"You can't fight the devils so desperately. The guards line up and kill these devils with pistols. Quick!" Zeng Quan ordered with a gloomy face.

As soon as the guard platoon left, a cavalry rushed over.

"Enemy, chief of staff, there are enemies rushing here, at least 400 people, at most 5 minutes can kill the battlefield." The cavalry reported out of breath just after jumping off the horse.

"The devil has such a big appetite!" Zeng Quan's face became even more gloomy.

"More than 100 people used hand-to-hand combat to hold us back, and the main force followed closely to surround us, attacking inside and outside, and wiped us out. It's a good plan!"

After scolding, Zeng Quan, with a gloomy face, made a decisive decision despite his unwillingness: "We can't fight any more, close-range hand-to-hand combat, we can't take advantage of the devils!"

"Trumpeter, blow the horn, retreat immediately, get out of contact with the devils, and withdraw from the battlefield immediately!"

"Catch up with the guard platoon, let the guard platoon cover, if we drag on, we will all die here!"

After the order was issued, Zeng Quan breathed a sigh of relief, then grabbed a signal soldier beside him and continued to order.

"Correspondent, find the regiment commander immediately and tell him to withdraw immediately. The battle tonight is not right. The devil has a conspiracy. Go immediately!"

Suddenly withdrawing from the battlefield while the hand-to-hand combat was in full swing, for the independent regiment, it would definitely be chased and beaten by the independent regiment during the retreat, and it would pay a heavy price.

However, compared with the arrival of the follow-up troops of the Japanese army and the complete annihilation of the two companies, such a loss was still acceptable.

After the sound of the retreat trumpet sounded on the battlefield, the soldiers who were concentrating on confronting the devils were obviously taken aback. They didn't understand why their superiors gave the order to retreat at this time, which was obviously a big taboo for military strategists.

The devils did not let go of this opportunity, and stabbed dozens of Eighth Route Army soldiers to death with bayonets in a few seconds.

The company and platoon leaders scattered in the middle of the team really wanted to take revenge, but military orders are military orders. In the end, they could only grit their teeth and order: "Retreat, cover alternately, retreat immediately!"

Although the devils also found out that the Eighth Route Army wanted to slip away, as the planners of the whole conspiracy, they certainly didn't want to see the fat that had been fed to their mouths just slip away like this.

Several team leaders shouted directly: "Baga, the enemy is about to run, hold them back, reinforcements are coming."

"Retreat quickly, cover alternately, separate from the devils, and retreat immediately!" The platoon leader of the Eighth Route Army company on the battlefield followed the order.

One side wanted to retreat, and the other side didn't want the other side to retreat. In the process of one going up and down, the independent regiment lost a lot of people.

In the end, relying on the large number of people, we still separated from the devils.

"Shoot, kill them with bullets!" The Japanese officer immediately changed his order!
"Papa papa!" Soon, dull gunshots sounded behind everyone.

The last soldiers of the two companies kept falling on the retreat road and died.

Just when the devils, who were getting more and more painful, started to shoot, chasing after two companies to shoot, the guard platoon rushed over.

"Machine gun cover, stop the devils from chasing soldiers, and shoot immediately!" The guard platoon leader ordered anxiously, then raised his pistol and fired. The pistol in the burst firing state was directly used by him as a submachine gun. In just a few seconds, All twenty bullets flew towards the devil.

Three light machine guns, more than a dozen pistols, and more than a dozen rifles fired together, and the swishing bullets blocked the Japanese pursuers at once.

The former enemy headquarters of the Independence Regiment, Zeng Quan sent over the communication soldiers and reported out of breath as soon as they rushed in: "Regimental Commander, Political Commissar, something happened ahead."

"The chief of staff asked me to report: the devil has a conspiracy, and the troops must withdraw from the battlefield immediately, the sooner the better!"

From the very beginning of the battle tonight, Wang Ping felt something was wrong.

Last night, the Japanese army lost more than 1000 people because of their mistakes. As long as there is a little sense of officers, they will not make the same mistake on the same issue.

And Kato Osamu, the Japanese commander at the transfer station, is obviously not an idiot.

Not only is he not stupid, but he is also very shrewd.It is obviously impossible for such a wise opponent to make such a low-level mistake.

Since it is impossible to make mistakes, the smooth start of the battle can only be a conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army.

However, because there was no concrete evidence and the battle was going so smoothly, it was difficult for Wang Ping to issue an order to retreat and dampen the enthusiasm of the troops to fight.

Now, after hearing the notification from the chief of staff, Wang Ping, who already felt that something was wrong, no longer hesitated, and directly ordered: "Retreat, notify the battalions and companies, and retreat immediately!"

"Cavalry company, reconnaissance platoon, immediately scout the entire combat area, report immediately if there is any situation, and notify the nearest troops."

"In addition, inform the battalions and companies that you don't need to report when you encounter the enemy. You can choose whether to fight or withdraw, but you must not fight head-on with the enemy!"

Wang Ping's retreat order was timely, but the other two reinforcement troops retreated too late.

After finally asking the Japanese army, half of the strength of each of the two companies was directly lost.

Looking at the three battalion commanders who bowed their heads silently in front of the Independent Regiment Command, Wang Ping punched the table in front of him, and then cursed loudly.

"How did you command? Didn't you order you to retreat? Why are the troops losing so much! I'm going to withdraw you!"

"Why don't you talk, are you wronged or something. Zhang Yunshan, didn't my order say that you can make a quick decision when encountering an enemy, but you can't fight recklessly? How do you command the troops? For the sake of dozens of devils, throw away dozens of them The lives of the soldiers, this is your clever decision!"

"Also, who told you that you don't need to send out reconnaissance troops to fight the devil's ambush. If you expand the scope of the reconnaissance a little, the devil's main force won't be able to find it even if they touch it!"

Seeing that the regiment leader became more and more angry, Cheng Xiao quickly comforted him: "Regiment commander, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, besides, they also eliminated many devils."

Zeng Quan hurriedly added: "Commander, they are responsible, but they can't be blamed entirely. The devils are too cunning. If the two companies I commanded didn't have a larger detection range, the loss would have reached one company. The devil is too cunning!"
