Chapter 642: The Choice of Desperate Situation
Takeuchi Yunshan's wish was only a little bit successful.
After dawn, Major General Kuozaki vomited another mouthful of blood, and added the previous one, and no bowl was even half a pound.
If another Army Major dies, Kunizaki will not be really angry to death.
As a major general of the army who is in the brigade commander level, he has more than a dozen of his masters under him.
What's more, there are so many captains who want to get on the throne. Not to mention one or two deaths, even if four or five deaths are killed, there are many people who fill the holes, but they are not very famous after being spread.
But now, the detachment’s biggest reliance is the artillery position, and it has a reputation as a ball!
What really made Kurosaki almost irritated was the next pursuit.
His military order was very clear. The two infantry brigades did not need to chase and attack. They just needed to control the important roads in the mountains. Once they were discovered, they would mobilize troops to siege them. When dawn, no matter how many heavy weapons the Chinese could carry could hide, they would be just a turtle in a jar and could not escape with their wings.
But he obviously underestimated human nature.
The captain, deputy captain who succeeded his acting captain in front of the formation, inherited the will of the captain who had bravely killed the captain.
To put it bluntly, I just want to show my own bravery and lead 800 troops to chase them, vowing to kill the Chinese who caused such casualties to their infantry brigade.
All the detachment commanders, no pursuit of the enemy, and no warnings about the past and present when encountering the forest.
The steaming body of the captain of the major has told everyone that the Chinese are only a few hundred meters away from the farthest, and there are about 800 people. Who are he afraid of?
The suicide squad is really afraid now.
More than 350 people died on the spot during the charge, more than 20 minor and serious wounded people, and no more than 300 combat power. Most of the grenades were used, and all the mortar shells were used up. The six mortars that were carried by everyone with great effort were actually not as lethal as a rolling pin.
If it is caught up by a large group of Japanese troops, the 300 people here will never be able to escape from the sky.
But if you really say you escape, you may not be able to escape.
First of all, it was terrain factors. They marched at night and were in the mountains. They dared not fire torches, but the Japanese army had a flashlight, and the traces could not be erased at all.
The worst thing is that they not only carried the mortar but also the wounded and the bodies, the speed was far less than the pursuers who were rushing behind.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese will catch up in less than half an hour. The suicide squad that cannot escape can only fight based on the mountain situation.
But this is not the last straw that broke the camel's back.
As the supreme commander, Tang Dao led ten people to observe the movements of the Japanese pursuers at the end. Li Jiujin, the company commander of the second company of the Independent Battalion, was regarded as the second-person of the entire suicide squad, and he would report to him any situation.
The reconnaissance vanguard, a mile before the entire suicide squad, rushed to Li Jiujin: "Report to Commander Li, there are Japanese in front of us! Many Japanese are in the valley we must pass."
"What?" Li Jiujin's head was buzzing.
The Japanese pursuers are still behind them, how can there be Japanese in the mountains?
Did they have expected in advance that the suicide squad would retreat in this direction? But this is obviously not very scientific. If they had the ability to predict the enemy first, their artillery positions would not be attacked so easily.
"It should be the group of Japanese artillery soldiers who were scared away, and the number of them would never be less than one thousand, or more." The veteran from Sixing Camp judged.
Knowing where the Japanese army came from, but for Li Jiujin, the interim commander, it was not easy at all.
The combat power of Japanese artillery is slag, but that is more than a thousand people, not more than a thousand pigs. When we meet on a narrow road, once we fight to the death, it is also a combat power that cannot be ignored.
What is this? It is called chasing soldiers behind and intercepting them in front, which is a dead end.
Li Jiujin looked back and looked at the unknown amount of light flashing at the foot of the mountain. His face, which was always a little cynical, was full of solemnity. His muscles twitched hard, and he made a decision in an instant.
He reached out and waved, shouted Yang Xiaoshan, who was only three meters away from him, and lowered his voice: "Xiaoshanzi, take your platoon to catch up with the front line to be a vanguard. Remember, if you meet those Japanese artillery soldiers, they will have all their firepower and rush over. After rushing over, don't look back and run for me. If you are exhausted, you must return to the position. You must live well for me."
"Yes!" Yang Xiaoshan nodded.
Wave backwards and rush forward with his infantry platoon.
However, after walking for more than ten meters, Yang Xiaoshan turned back.
With his understanding of Li Jiujin, even if the situation is critical, he would not give himself orders in such a tone, and even had the taste of leaving a last word.
"What are your kids doing when you are back? Execute the order quickly!" Li Jiujin glared.
"Old squad leader, we rushed over. What should you do with the chief? The chief is still behind." Yang Xiaoshan looked at the foot of the mountain and asked worriedly.
"You are a small platoon leader, why do you care about so many things? I and the chief are very tough, so you don't need to worry about your child." Li Jiujin frowned and roared.
"I..." Yang Xiaoshan wanted to say something else.
"What, I can't cure you as a platoon leader." Li Jiujin waved his hand, but finally fell down gently, patted Yang Xiaoshan's shoulder, and his voice lowered a lot: "You are a soldier, execute the order!"
"Old squad leader..." Tears surged in Yang Xiaoshan's eyes.
Originally, he was not sure, but now, he was finally sure.
Why did Li Jiujin just ask him to lead his platoon as an arrow? Because he would lead everyone else in the Second Company to block the Japanese pursuers for the entire army.
Although he didn't say it clearly, Yang Xiaoshan, who had followed him since joining the army, knew him so well, just as his old squad leader knew him.
The reason he said that they were all alive was that the Second Company needed reconstruction, and he and his infantry platoon would be the backbone of the reconstruction.
"Go! Remember, you and your soldiers have to live well for me." Li Jiujin waved his hand.
Yang Xiaoshan raised his arm, saluted, turned around and left.
But when I turned around, I was already in tears.
He knew that this parting might be forever.
The veteran who had been in the army for ten years and was the best at saving his life, this time he chose a trick that would definitely save his life.
A hero cuts his arm.
The hero may be able to live, but that wrist is determined.
"This stupid boy!" Li Jiujin looked at the young platoon leader running quickly with a gentle face.
There was already a hint of warmth in his hands.
That was the soldiers under his command who were scattered when he turned around.
Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why he made such a decision!
They live and die by themselves!
All of this is worth it.
However, Yang Xiaoshan's tears flowed in vain.
Chapter completed!
