Chapter 2148 Keeping the ground to stop the devil
"Kun Inoue, we were ambushed by the Chinese army. If we don't let the troops retreat, we will all die here!" Ono saw that his remaining troops had begun to retreat to him, so he said to Inoue, who was not far from him.
You should know that Inoue's third squadron rushed to the forefront of the Japanese service. The first one to be hit was their third squadron. The most serious casualties were naturally the third squadron. Therefore, when it was confirmed that the troops of the second squadron had begun to retreat, he had to remind Inoue to let the third squadron retreat.
"Retreat!" Inoue immediately called his troops to retreat. He knew that if the troops did not retreat and protect themselves, he would probably not be alive among them.
Without the support of the third squadron, he, the squadron leader, naturally did not have to continue to hang out, so he did not need Ono's reminder and knew that he had to evacuate here at this moment.
In fact, Iou is very regretful at this time. Ono had said before that there might be danger here and they must be careful, but after he sent a scout to conduct fire reconnaissance, he firmly believed that there was no Chinese army in this place.
This kind of carelessness directly caused a catastrophe in their third squadron, causing heavy casualties in the entire third squadron.
However, there is no medicine for regret in this world, and there is no possibility of doing it again. The death and injury of the troops have become a fact. Even if he is unwilling to give up, he will be helpless. What he can do now is to ensure that the troops in his hands can retreat as much as possible.
The troops had already started to organize the retreat after hearing the order, but the casualties still occurred under the strafing of Wang Si and his friends, and the corpses of Japanese soldiers were everywhere on the ground.
When the troops retreated to a relatively safe position, the remaining Japanese soldiers in the entire third squadron were less than twenty.
The second squadron, Ono, suffered a lot of casualties, almost one-third of them. This battle can be said to be the biggest defeat of their team since they set out.
At this moment, the Japanese soldiers were lying listlessly on the ground, and the wounded were no longer able to stand up. At this moment, the medical soldiers were busy helping to deal with the wound. The painful shouts made all the Japanese scared.
Ono arranged a few people to guard the intersection to prevent Wang Si's commando from continuing to attack them. Even if they could not stop Wang Si and the others from attacking, they should let all of them know the situation in advance so that they can evacuate here in time.
After arranging the defensive measures, Ono came to Inoue and said to Inoue: "We have lost a lot of people in this battle. Even if we can pass this road smoothly, we will probably not be able to take down Linci City!"
Ono knew very well that with their current strength, he could not do anything at all, so he truthfully told his analysis in front of the well.
"What should we do now?" Inoue was at a loss. At this time, he didn't care about Ono and himself fighting for credit. You must know that all the credits at present are about to turn into bubbles. They have not completed any missions, and have caused huge losses to the troops.
At this time, only if they unite may have a chance, otherwise everything will be in vain. He doesn't want to return with Ono in vain and be punished by His Excellency Nakajima when he goes back.
"Since there is no hope of attack and is unwilling to retreat, we only have one way to go!" Ono thought for a moment, then said to Inoue.
It seemed that he had an idea in his mind. The key was to see whether Inoue could agree with his approach. After all, in his opinion, they had no choice.
"What road?" When Inoue heard this, he immediately asked Ono. He knew that there was only a team of less than twenty people left in the third squadron. With these people, he could not do anything. At the moment, he could only look at Ono and the others. Therefore, he did not dare to think more and directly asked Ono.
"We will report the situation to You Kiyomizu truthfully and ask You Kiyomizu to ask You Nakajima for reinforcements. Maybe we still have a glimmer of hope!" Ono immediately said to Inoue, "But if You Nakajima is held accountable, you may be..."
Ono's move is obvious, to throw his troops into the army, let Inoue take the responsibility for the unfavorable battle, and then let Nakajima mobilize troops to reinforce this side.
If this is not the case, the checkpoint positions they took down and the Zuo Liangyi hillside positions would be considered in vain. As soon as they retreated, these places would undoubtedly return to Wang Si's hands.
This situation has in vain all the efforts of the dead Japanese soldiers. Not to mention that they do not agree, even the living Japanese soldiers may not agree. After all, they have paid a huge price along the way and are unwilling to give up.
"Kun Ono, don't have any concerns. My third squadron has been beaten away. It is inevitable to be defeated and punished. As long as our Imperial Army can successfully capture the city of Rinci, I am willing to bear all the responsibility for failure in combat!" Inoue said at this time, "I am a samurai and an officer of the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese. It is my infinite glory to sacrifice myself for the benefit of the empire. Do you understand!"
Inoue's words come from the heart, and he is obviously poisoned too deeply by ****. He has regarded this war as a training ground to prove the so-called Bushido spirit.
"I'm sorry!" Ono immediately bowed to Inoue, then said a sorry word, and then ordered a telecommunications soldier beside him to say, "Send a report to Your Excellency Kiyomizu immediately to report on the actual situation here!"
"Ha!" The Japanese telegraph soldier did not dare to waste time, so he immediately turned on the radio and began to send a telegram to Qingshui, reporting the situation here in detail.
Just as the Japanese sent a telegram to Qingshui, Wang Si and the others did not continue to advance towards the other side of the road, because the Japanese firepower reconnaissance had injured many brothers, and the brothers were helping to simply treat the wounds.
"How many people have been sacrificed?" Wang Si felt very uncomfortable when he saw the brothers he brought out were injured and sacrificed. At this moment, he walked to Qiao Shuanzi and asked Qiao Shuanzi.
"Two brothers were sacrificed, six were slightly injured and four were seriously injured!" Qiao Shuanzi had already done statistics before. When Wang Si asked, he could naturally answer the accurate data immediately.
"They were all soldiers brought out by us, but they didn't expect to die here!" Wang Si felt as uncomfortable as if he was pulled by something when he heard this news, but his reason did not make him indulge in pain. Then he said to Qiao Shuanzi, "Remember the names of these two brothers, and issue a death notice after going back. The pension must be delivered to their families in person!"
