It took the 31st Infantry Brigade a full hour to completely withdraw from the battlefield.

However, their losses were not just the artillery brigade that was almost blasted for several rounds by artillery fire.

The three infantry squadrons left behind to block the enemy were definitely a force that should not be underestimated in the past, and that was nearly 600 infantry.

As the captain of the regiment, Sasaki Koyong certainly would not easily play with the heroic cut off his arm. After all, he just retreated and was not defeated. He also equipped three infantry squadrons with two heavy machine gun squadrons and an infantry artillery squadron to avoid insufficient firepower in the face of the crazy attack of the Chinese.

But this time, it was obviously different from what he expected.

The Four Lines Regiment launched an attack on the hundreds of Japanese troops left behind, but it was not the charge that the Japanese army imagined, and the Chinese were charging with rifles all over the mountains.

They were not afraid of that situation at all, even if there were only simple field trenches, the firepower suppression of the six heavy machine guns was enough to make the Chinese people shed all their blood without making any progress.

But the Chinese people brought out more than 16 heavy machine guns, and they started firing fiercely at 700 meters away. Raindrop-like bullets were hard to raise even infantrymen.

The two infantry cannons placed 400 meters behind the trench responded. However, after just two cannons were tested, the strong smoke from the muzzle exposed their location.

The 75 mountain cannons and 82 mortar shells hit like raindrops, and their momentum was no less than when they shot the Chinese highlands before.

It was not until this time that the Japanese infantry realized that the Chinese army in front of them had no light firepower, and the heavy firepower was no weaker than them.

No wonder the brigade commander and corps commander strongly advocated retreat. If they still used infantry to attack the opponent's high ground as before, they would have been killed or injured.

After the two infantry artillery were finished, the Chinese side still refused to give up. The artillery targeted the Japanese infantry in the simple trenches.

What's even more terrible is that this time it was not only mountain cannons but mortars, but also 37mm rapid-fire cannons and 20mm machine cannons were added.

The Chinese seem to have a grudge against shells, and they say that they will never give up until they are all shells.

This is the military order of the Tang regiment!

When they came to the battlefield, the logistics company spent a lot of effort to transport various shells. The captures from the 683rd Brigade were piled up and could not be transported. The four teams had to free up enough transportation capacity to transport supplies.

What's more, now that the main Japanese force has left, if they don't take the opportunity to replace these shells with the Japanese's life, would they throw them away in vain?

As for the addition of these shells, Tang Dao had already aimed at the Shanxi old man who lost most of the Jin Province but was still rich. As long as he gave money, let alone shells, he could get you a few cannon balls.

Therefore, facing the four-line regiment that wanted to reduce the burden, the Japanese army in the three infantry squadrons could only bear it and thoroughly experienced the bitterness of their former opponents evading artillery fire in the trenches by luck.

Half an hour later, the artillery fire of the Four Army Regiment stopped, and 40% of the 600th Japanese troops had already gone, and they finally received the military order from the corps headquarters to allow them to retreat.

It would be nice to be able to carry the living away, and the dead would be left in the trenches!

However, the Four Army Regiment did not take advantage of the victory and left the remaining more than 300 Japanese troops.

"The Japanese commander can retreat decisively, but he is a figure. How can such a person not leave any help?" Tang Dao looked at the far mountain and explained to the two infantry battalion commanders who were pursuing. "What's more, he still has more than 10 artillery pieces in his hand. Once my large number of infantry are exposed, he will definitely attack with artillery. The Japanese's life is not worth much, but the lives of my brothers in the Four Corps are worth little and cannot be consumed easily."

"Besides..." Tang Dao paused slightly.

"Sir, what's more?" Leng Feng was still younger after all, and couldn't help asking.

"If they don't scare them so much that they run faster, how can we get out of here quickly?" Tang Dao smiled.

"What does the group rank mean?" Guo Shouzhi thought about it.

"The Japanese plane will come again." Tang Dao looked at the pocket watch. "If the Japanese North China Front Command learned that the 14th Division's baggage corps were gone and the two infantry corpses to reinforce could not advance. Judging from this, our army must have been invested in heavy troops. If the aircraft group is no longer sent to bomb, the indoor shroud might be the undercover sent by our army!

It is already April, and it is getting darker and later, enough for Japanese planes to arrive in one hour and then return in another hour."

"Li Jiujin, bring your brothers, take me the extra military uniforms and the dead Japanese army uniforms, put them on me with wooden racks, and put them in the trenches!" Tang Dao ordered. "The rest of the troops will immediately clear the battlefield and then retreat to the location of the brigade headquarters of the 683rd Brigade.

In addition, he telegraphed the commander Wang of the 772nd Regiment and asked him to make an assault siege of the entire army, scaring the soft boys of the 108th Division. If the Japanese still did not retreat, his main force would be ready to retreat at any time to avoid losses."

Gu Teng Changhar, who was sending a report to the Front Army Command, knew that his infantry corps had suffered a major loss, might never have dreamed that while he was trying hard to retreat, the Chinese army that was still beating him hard also ran away.

And, it runs very fast!

Tang Dao guessed it right.

The indoor shroud, who learned that the 14th Division's baggage corps could not be rescued completely, was furious, but this time he was angry that the imperial army suffered losses, but that the Chinese spit out phlegm on his unlucky resume, which could not die, but was very disgusting.

The indoor shroud, which was disgusted, had to react anyway. So despite Lu Hang's concerns about it getting late, ordered them to immediately set off the motive group, even if they only carry half of the bombs, they would throw a wave of bombs on the head of the Chinese army that could block the two infantry regiments.

Out of anger at the Chinese, the indoor shroud even selectively ignored the large amount of supplies that were about to be seized by the Chinese in the 14th Division's baggage corps. If it was calm enough, this wave of bombs should definitely be thrown on those supplies.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content below! The 8 Japanese planes that just returned to the airport had to refuel and load the bomb again, but this time, there was not much time for them to hover in the air to observe and bomb again. If it was after 6 o'clock, it would be too dark. At this time, there was no such thing as an all-weather pilot. Night flights are extremely dangerous, but don't be able to find the route back to the airport at that time.

Tang Dao is not a god either. He guessed 90% of the time, but the only reason was that the highest commander of the Japanese fleet that was attacking this time was Captain Sasaki.

Captain Sasaki finally defeated all the commanders who dared to lead the team with his ability as a leader.

Therefore, under his command, Japanese planes started to drop bombs this time at a height of 2,000 meters from the top of the mountain.

The "scarecrow" that Tang Dao ordered Li Jiujin's 7th Company to be used cannot be said to be useless, it can only be said to have little to do with whether the Japanese army fleet decided to drop bombs.

It turned out that the group of people had lost four companions here, and they would drop bombs into this area for reason.

After the bid, the eight fighter planes immediately turned and flew away without any nostalgia.

Three kilometers away!

"Are the Japanese planes so perfunctory now? They are bombings at such an altitude?" Cheng Tiexou was stunned with his telescope.

"Are you afraid of your Tietou Company Commander's anti-aircraft machine guns? You are the big Tietou and a group of small Tietou. When the King of Hell comes, you dare to send a machine gun to the tide." Li Jiujin joked about his colleagues.

"Old fried dough stick, I might even refute anything else, but you said I was not afraid of the King of Hell in the 2nd Cannon, so I won't fight with you." Cheng Tieshou was proud, but he was happy for less than three seconds and he looked bitter again. "But if the Japanese planes were like this from now on, and they dropped bombs at an altitude of 2,000 meters, then the machine cannon would have no choice but to deal with them!"

"Then I will replace you with Cheng Tietou with a longer range of anti-aircraft cannons. It will never make you Tietou Company Commander useless." Tang Dao on the other side said with a smile.

The Japanese military aircraft group, which was almost irresponsible, exploded, was very good, and it was even better than he expected. He sincerely hoped that the Japanese would send fighter jets in the future, so they would send these goods.

Of course, Tang Tuanzhang, a Japanese Air Force Captain, had already had many times dealing with the Sixing Group.

"Group, do you think this is true? Is it the kind of big guy I used in the air battle in Zhengzhou?" Cheng Tieshou was so happy that his mouth almost broke into the back of his head.

The 20mm Surotong machine gun and the Japanese 25mm machine gun are already the largest caliber anti-aircraft guns this artillery company commander has ever seen. Will it be the 88mm anti-aircraft gun that the first war zone has?

"Don't think about 88 mm. That thing weighs almost two tons. Even if it is brought, are you planning to hold it or carry it to climb the mountain?" Tang Dao poured a basin of cold water on the subordinate who was quite daring to think about it. "I have to wait until I go to Tianjin City to see where the Germans have what goods to order."

The senior officers of the Four Lines Regiment only recently learned that there was a group of arms in Tianjin. After Tang Dao said this, he was even more hopeful.

Why is the Sixing Group getting stronger and stronger? It is nothing more than that soldiers who have experienced the battlefield are becoming more and more skilled in skills and tactics, will become stronger and stronger, and equipment is getting better and better. These three are indispensable.

But even so, everyone still has a hidden worry. The Japanese army has completely controlled air supremacy. Without air supremacy, the whole regiment has to be worried about being "smashed" by bombs. It is far from enough to rely on the dozen anti-aircraft machine guns and three anti-aircraft cannons in the regiment now.

Just like what Cheng Tieshou was worried just now, if the Japanese army fleet dropped bombs at an altitude of 2,000 meters, even if the loss was not accurate, as long as a small half fell to the position, there would be no idea how many people would die. All the air defense weapons of the 2nd Company of the Artillery were a decoration for this height.

Of course, these are things that should be considered in the future. What we need to consider now is the question of how to transport away a large number of seizures.

When the entire army of the Four Corps met with the troops of Brigade Commander Cheng at around 6 o'clock, they were surprised to find that the mountains and forests were filled with all kinds of supplies.

On the way, Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang of the 772nd Regiment had already called, and the 108th Division they were fighting against also retreated and ran away. Except for the two infantry regiments who left an infantry company on the position to prevent the Japanese army from killing and retaliating, the rest of the main forces were gathering here.

This also means that this is the work done by the 771st Regiment and the 683rd Brigade Guard Battalion, with a total force of less than 3,000. They actually moved more than 70% of the supplies into the mountains.

This is definitely a miracle.

Looking at the soldiers lying on the wet grass along the way, biting half a piece of cake in their mouths and falling asleep before they could finish eating, many officers and soldiers of the Four Lines were shocked.

After the continuous battles, the officers and soldiers of the Four Lines Regiment were very tired, but they were absolutely proud, which was a character that any strong army would possess.

Only when you have pride can you cherish your honor and are more willing to maintain your honor, even if you use your own life.

But as proud as them, I have to admit at this time that in terms of perseverance alone, this is definitely a soldier who can match them.

"Come on, Brother Tang, come and think about it, how can we transport these things away?" Commander Cheng was also worried. When he saw Tang Dao coming, he quickly blamed him for the problem.

"It depends on what path you are planning to take, Brother Cheng." Tang Dao pondered for a moment and asked back.

"Then you must walk on the mountain road! Could it be that you can still walk on the avenue? Do you think the Japanese who have retreated to Licheng are made of mud!" Captain Cheng couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"If you walk on the mountain road, it is not enough to have 10,000 people in our four regiments, each carrying 20 kilograms, and all the baggage troops transported 150,000 kilograms." Tang Dao shook his head.

"Then we still have to mobilize the surrounding people?" Commander Cheng frowned. "If it really doesn't work, we can only burn some unneeded supplies."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "What a pity!" Tang Dao shook his head. "I have a trick. The Japanese still have some trucks that are not damaged and can be used. They just use those trucks and they also take the road."

"No matter how many people can drive such trucks, let's say that if the Japanese who just returned to Licheng saw it, they wouldn't go crazy!" Chief Cheng Lu shook his head. "Even if they dare not leave the city, when they pass by Licheng, the road can be within the range of their artillery, which is too dangerous."

"We think so, of course the Japanese think so too. When the sentry on the top of their city saw the lights in the distance, can he be sure it is their own or us? When they send a telegram and a telegram to come over and confirm, we will have already gone away.

Moreover, when approaching the surrounding area of ​​Licheng, the convoy turned off the lights, and the co-pilot used a flashlight to shine on the buttocks of the car in front. Only the headlights of the car were left. The Japanese may not know that it was a convoy." Tang Dao said with a smile.

"In terms of drivers, our regiment supplies company has used this half month to train fifty drivers. The technology does not need to be very good. It only needs to be stable when running at low speed. The key problem now is that the main Japanese army, who was entangled with Captain Wang and others, has retreated, and the Japanese garrison in Dongyang Pass has retreated."

"Good boy, you're doing the opposite! Even if the Japanese knew that we were brave, they would never have imagined that we would be so brave, so they drove the car and pulled the goods under their noses. The key was that they didn't dare to leave the city and ask. It only took a few more minutes to delay, and we ran away." Captain Cheng was also a very smart person, slapped and smiled.

"Of course, the Japanese army in Dongyang Pass ran away, and there were only one or two hundred Japanese. If they didn't run away, wouldn't they be fine for us who dared to challenge him in an infantry regiment? Okay, just do as you said, just the supplies to move here..." Speaking of this, Commander Cheng scratched his head rarely.

If he had known this, he wouldn't have worked so hard. Could it be that he would have to move back a little?

"That's not necessary. The materials in the mountains are transported by manpower and various supplies. There should be a lot of them left there. Fifty trucks should be almost loaded. All the officers and soldiers of the Four Corps expressed their respect to the friendly forces who had consumed huge physical strength." Tang Dao could not make the old senior feel that he was not thinking about it, so he quickly comforted him warmly.

"You kid, you suddenly know how to speak. Are you looking at someone from my brigade again?" Brigade Commander Cheng smiled.

"I am quite familiar with Battalion Commander Ding of the 772nd Regiment. I just miss one..." Tang Dao answered naturally.

"Get out!" Captain Cheng pointed at the distance in anger.

"Then two company commanders can be successful!" Tang Dao was not discouraged at all.

"If you don't leave, I'll go!" Captain Cheng ran straight along the direction of his finger.

He just tried to take out the hoe he carried with him. Can such a person be unable to provoke or hide?

The officers present at the 683rd Brigade were both funny and surprised, and the brigade commander who even had a headache for the two division commanders was also a headache. I'm afraid Tang Dao was still the first person.

No matter how much you joke, the major transportation of materials will not stop, and you will not evacuate at night. It will be difficult to deal with the Japanese army sending planes to bomb during the day.

Therefore, most of the supplies were transported back to the stations of various departments by small roads under the transportation of tens of thousands of soldiers, pack horses, big chariots, and small trolleys.

A convoy of fifty trucks swaggered on the road until it finally stayed away from the most dangerous city of Li.

The Japanese army in Licheng really did not react as Tang Dao said.

Tang Dao actually thought they were smart. In fact, when the Japanese sentry on the city wall saw a pair of headlights, he was sure that they were vehicles heading to Lucheng, and there would be no one else except the empire's own people.

Although the distance of two kilometers was not enough for them to hear the dull roar of the truck engine, the two sentries were both unlucky guys who had experienced shelling and had serious hearing damage.

So, hello, I, hello everyone!
