Ito Masaki looked at Inaba Shiro in surprise and said in confusion: "Inaba Jun, is this good news again?"

"Not bad!" Inaba Shiro said: "Because, the defenders in the city took the risk to grab the medicine, which means that their medicine has been used up or is about to be used up.

Shortage of doctors and medicine is the same as exhausting ammunition and food. It is extremely fatal to the morale of the army!

Just imagine, if the soldiers are injured and cannot receive medicine for treatment, do they still have the belief to continue fighting?

Therefore, even if we siege and do not attack, the Chinese army will be defeated without fighting!"

"Suga!" Ito Masaki nodded deeply, fully agreeing with Inaba Shiro's analysis.

At this moment, the old Japanese made quick arrangements and prepared to launch a new round of attack.

At the same time, all attacking troops should be advised to protect the medical soldiers and not let the same thing happen again.

Of course, Ito Masaki didn't care about the life and death of his subordinates, but did not want the defenders to obtain medicine, that's all!

...

The picture is brought back to Huoqiu City.

In this operation, Yang Jing and his friends killed more than 30 Japanese medical soldiers and robbed more than 30 medical boxes.

Most of them are filled with painkillers, hemostatic drugs, gauze, bandages and other medical supplies urgently needed by the defenders.

In addition, Yang Jing looked for an opportunity to quietly remove a batch of medical supplies from his personal space.

Because she was worried about the system being exposed, Yang Jing could not take out all the medicines that had been exposed by the Japanese.

However, although these drugs cannot completely solve the dilemma of the defenders' lack of drugs, they can solve the temporary urgent problem, which can make the injured soldiers less guilty.

Some soldiers who were not seriously injured also saved their lives.

...

Before I knew it, the whole night had passed.

Seeing that the sky was about to brighten, a trace of whiteness had appeared in the east, and the Japanese launched a new round of attack.

At this critical moment, the tunnel of the baggage camp was finally opened!

Yang Jing was overjoyed and immediately ordered Deputy Commander Wang Dali and Battalion Commander Zhao Hong to lead the Battalion to cover the field hospital of the Independent Regiment and the wounded soldiers to evacuate first.

The subsequent retreat order was the battalions of the Independent Regiment, and then the Huben Regiment Cannon Battalion and the 1st Battalion.

Because the 2nd Battalion suffered the least casualties in the previous battle, Yang Jing arranged it to the end and work with the Guard Company to block the Japanese attack and cover the main force of the cover regiment to retreat.

In addition, Yang Jing also sent a telegram to the 3rd Battalion, 4th Battalion, Sharp Spear Company, and Cavalry Company outside the city, ordering them to prepare for the response and launch a surprise attack on the Japanese army at any time, so as to make sure they are in a complete plan!

Yu Zongping, the independent group, had woken up and learned that Yang Jing had arranged for the Independent Group to retreat first and leave the Tiger Group at the end.

Immediately found Yang Jing and said, "Brother Yang, I will send you a power to help you come and rescue, which will make your Tiger Group fall into danger. It is already very unauthorized. How can you cut off your rear now?

If you want to cut off the rear, it is the only way for my independent group to stay!"

Yang Jing said: "Brother, you are so serious. I said, let alone your independent group is trapped, even if it is any Chinese army that is fully committed to fighting against Japan, my Tiger Group will not sit idly by!

Moreover, your independent group suffered too many casualties, and its weapons and equipment were slightly worse than our Tiger Group.

If you cut off the rear, you will naturally need to leave a capable force!

Otherwise, not only will the Japanese army's attack not be able to stop it, but the main force may not be able to escape from the trap!"

Seeing that Yu Zongping wanted to say something else, Yang Jing immediately looked dark and said solemnly: "Captain Yu, this is an order. Please lead your troops to evacuate immediately!"

"yes!"

Seeing that Yang Jing had made up his mind, Yu Zongping could only take the order and then stood attentively with his legs together and saluted Yang Jing with a solemn military salute.

Behind Yu Zongping, political commissar Ye Yun, deputy commander Zhou Zichen and others also stood up and saluted.

It is worth mentioning that since the liaison officer Xu Ying has a task, he is not here at this time.

Yang Jing also raised his arm and gave a greeting.

Yu Zongping put down his arm and said, "Brother Yang, promise me that you must come out alive, otherwise, I will become a sinner for the ages!"

Yang Jing smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother, the Japanese have not created the bullets that can kill me!"

Yu Zongping turned around suddenly and waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

...

During the retreat of the Independent Regiment, Fan Tietou, the commander of the 2nd Battalion, advised Yang Jing: "The regiment seat, after the Independent Regiment is withdrawn, you can lead the troops to retreat first. I will cut off the rear!"

The company commander of the guard company, Ma Tong, also persuaded: "Yes, regiment rank, you can retreat first, and Battalion Commander Fan and I will leave behind and cut off!"

Yang Jing immediately waved his hand and rejected their kindness and said in a deep voice: "No, this authentic tunnel can only be used side by side at one time. The Independent Group and our Hu Ben Group will add up to 3,000 people.

It will take 1 hour to pass it all!

In addition, you have to throw away all heavy weapons such as artillery, thunder cannons and other heavy weapons!

So, I must stay and break the rear with you!

The entire group of soldiers did not retreat. How could I, the leader of the regiment, leave them and run away first?"

When Rake heard that he wanted to destroy all the artillery, he was a little anxious and said, "The troop mount, except for the unconscience-free cannons that are too large to carry, we can remove and take away other artillery! Don't blow it up all, right?

Now there are only a few artillery left. If you blow it up, our artillery battalion will be completely turned into an infantry battalion!"

Yang Jing flatly refused and said, "No! It's too wasteful to remove the cannons, and even if it is removed, the parts are heavy. Brothers can't walk fast even if they carry these things, which is too wasteful to waste time!

When the Japanese attacked, they would soon find that we had escaped from the tunnel.

By then, the Japanese will definitely not give up and will definitely chase them from outside, so we still can't escape!

So this time we must retreat lightly, evacuate Huoqiu as quickly as possible, and move to a safe place.

What's more, if you want to block the Japanese attack and win time for the evacuation of the large army, the remaining artillery and unconscience-free cannons must be left for use by the 2nd Battalion!"

After a pause, Yang Jing's tone slowed down and said, "Don't worry, when I go to Yuexi base, I will find a way to get you a new batch of artillery.

The scale will only be larger than ever!”

“Top seat…”

Seeing that everyone wanted to persuade him again, Yang Jing refused and said flatly: "What are you doing? Can everyone try to disobey?

I stayed and cut off the rear, and I will do this! Listen to me, and then order it!"

Seeing that Yang Jing had made up his mind, everyone had to stand up and salute: "Yes!"

So, after the independent regiment, the Huben Regiment's Cannon Battalion and the 1st Battalion began to evacuate outside the city in batches along the tunnel entrance.

The 2nd Battalion and the Guard Company remained, and in the city centered on the entrance of the tunnel, several circular fortifications were built using the ruins in the city.

Yang Jing personally led the 2nd Battalion and some soldiers who were fired by the Guard Company, and controlled the more than 30 unconscience-free cannons left by the artillery battalion and several 75mm caliber howitzers to build an artillery position to provide fire cover to the main force.

The Japanese army, who had a keen sense of smell, quickly noticed that the defenders in the city had contracted their defense line and thought they were about to be unable to hold on.

A large number of offensive troops were immediately mobilized, and a more violent siege was launched from all parts of the city to the west of the city near the entrance of the tunnel!

At the same time, the artillery gangs under the divisions also moved the artillery positions forward and aimed at the western area of ​​the city, continuing to bombard the enemy at any cost to clear obstacles for the offensive troops!

For a moment, gunfire was four times, and artillery fire was endless.

The entire Huoqiu County was once again shrouded in the smoke of war!
Chapter completed!
