Predator Reborn

Chapter 191 Blocking Battle on Hebei Slope (4)

"Baga, how is this possible?" Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, while there were more and more Chinese soldiers, and the fighting became more fierce, the deputy captain cursed in disbelief. At the same time, he was worried about his own future.

, fear that I had never experienced on the Chinese battlefield suddenly came to my heart.

"Baga, hurry up, prepare to retreat. Retreat..." Looking at the fewer and fewer soldiers around him, the guilty vice-captain immediately gave the order to retreat.

"Comrades, charge, kill the Japs..." Seeing that the remaining Japs wanted to retreat, the guard company commander picked up a Japs rifle. He wanted to continue the pursuit and annihilate the remaining dozen Japs. However, just before the soldiers,

When we were about to pursue them, an order from the brigade commander to retreat immediately came from the hillside.

"Retreat, quickly. Retreat to the position immediately, the Japanese are preparing to shell." Hearing the retreat horn, the instructor beside him immediately reminded. So, the soldiers hurriedly withdrew to the position with the bodies of their comrades and the wounded.

Sure enough, less than a few seconds after the soldiers left, he remembered the violent explosions on the battlefield where they had just fought. Seeing the exploding shells, the guard company commander's face immediately twitched. Fortunately, he had just retreated.

in time, otherwise his security company would really have to stay there.

"Captain Wang, how are the casualties of the troops?" the brigade commander asked quickly, looking at the guard company commander whose face was full of smoke.

"Brigade commander, a total of 32 people were killed and 6 were seriously injured. One platoon has lost its combat effectiveness. Now there are less than 80 people on the position who can fight." When it came to casualties, the instructor of the guard company behind him answered in a low voice.

"Okay, comrades, you are all good. Quick, order the soldiers to seize the time to reinforce the trenches. The next wave of Japanese charges should be coming soon." The brigade commander was also shocked when he heard the casualty figures. You know, the guards

The soldiers of the company were carefully selected from the whole brigade, but there were such heavy casualties. If they were replaced by soldiers of an ordinary company, without the help of heavy weapons, what kind of casualties would there be?

"Baga, bang bang bang... your stupidity..." This was the second time the squadron leader slapped the deputy captain on the face as he retreated. "Why did you charge at that time? Don't you know how to use machine guns and forced blasts?"

Will the artillery fire kill the Chinese troops on the opposite side?" the squadron leader asked with a sullen face.

"Your Excellency, the squadron leader, it was the squad leader who insisted on charging. He said that he wanted the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side to have a taste of the stabbing skills of the Japanese Empire..." the deputy captain lowered his head and answered.

"Asshole, you have a very bad conscience. Ono-kun is already broken into pieces, and you didn't even get the body back. You actually framed the officer, Baga..." Another round of slaps came over.

"Hi..." The vice-captain lowered his head, enduring the burning pain on his face.

"How many people are there in your vanguard team?" the squadron leader asked after slowly regaining his breath.

"Hi, your Excellency, squadron leader, there are still 14 people left in the vanguard team, including me, and only one light machine gun has been brought back." Hearing the squadron leader asking about the losses of the troops, the deputy captain lowered his head again.

"Yours, take the troops and seize the time to rest and prepare for the second charge..." the squadron leader said expressionlessly.

"Hi..." After saying that, the vice-captain lowered his head and walked towards his unit.

"Yo Xi, could it be that the Eighth Route Army soldiers on the opposite side are the legendary Eighth Route Army? Yo Xi, we have finally met our real opponent. Order the artillery team to use up all the artillery shells we brought, and we must destroy the positions of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side.

For the sake of leveling the ground, I want to see whether it is the Eighth Route Army's life that is tougher or my shells that are tougher." The squadron leader ordered to the artillery squad beside him.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Four Japanese artillery shells suddenly fell among the soldiers who were digging trenches, causing casualties to several soldiers again. "No, the Japanese have started shelling. Damn it, they can't even let people stop for a while. Order.

The soldiers immediately retreat to the rear of the position and leave no one in the trenches." The brigade commander immediately ordered.

"Brigade Commander, no one is left on the position. What if the Japanese take the opportunity to make a sneak attack? Wouldn't it be lost in our position..." The company commander asked doubtfully after hearing the brigade commander's order.

"Quickly, order the soldiers to retreat. I'll tell you when I get to the rear." Seeing the motionless guard company commander, Wang Nanhu couldn't help but get angry.

"Yes, comrades, stop digging and retreat to the rear immediately to avoid the enemy's shells." Although he was confused about the brigade commander's order, it is the duty of soldiers to obey orders, so the company commander immediately loudly issued the order to retreat.

However, the order was still late. Just when the soldiers had just dropped their engineering shovels and were preparing to retreat to the rear, a new round of artillery shelling by the Japanese began. Sure enough, as the brigade commander said, the Japanese were taking revenge.

Because this time, in addition to the four mortars of the Japanese, there were also more than a dozen grenades shooting at close range.

The dense artillery shells suddenly fell among the retreating soldiers. The soldiers without trench cover were instantly submerged in the dense artillery fire. When the smoke cleared, the bodies of more than a dozen soldiers fell on the position again.

.

"What are you still doing? Retreat quickly..." Seeing a dozen soldiers fall under the intense Japanese artillery fire, the guard company commander finally knew why the brigade commander ordered the troops to retreat immediately to avoid the Japanese artillery fire.

Finally, when the Japanese's second round of intensive artillery fire came, the soldiers successfully retreated to the rear of the position.

"Company Commander, 12 more soldiers were sacrificed just now, and 2 were seriously injured. However, all the wounded have been transported back, but the bodies of the fallen soldiers are still exposed to the enemy's artillery fire." The instructor came to the company commander's side and lowered his head.

Said the head frustratedly.

"Well, I understand. Order the soldiers to take time to rest and conserve their strength. The battle will be more brutal in a while." Maybe the company commander has been mentally prepared, or maybe he has seen too many casualties today.

After hearing the number of casualties from the instructor, he was not too shocked and replied coldly.

However, the guard company commander's psychology at this time was not as calm as it appeared. He was looking forward to the arrival of the artillery company and the first battalion soon. Because if the reinforcements arrived a little later, after the blocking battle just now,

, his guard company may really all die here. He is begging, looking forward to...

At this time, the position had been completely plowed by Japanese artillery shells, but the Japanese shelling continued without any intention of stopping. Although, the position at this time was completely changed beyond recognition.

Brigadier Wang Nanhu also had no peace of mind. Listening to the continuous sound of artillery fire on the position, he kept raising his telescope to look behind the position and where his reinforcements were coming from. Because he was also there

Looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements soon.

"Brigadier, the reinforcements are coming, our reinforcements are coming." I don't know who shouted loudly. Wang Nanhu quickly raised the telescope in his hand, and saw a team wearing Eighth Route Army uniforms appearing at the intersection ahead.

, was rushing towards him quickly. Looking at the reinforcements getting closer and closer, Wang Nanhu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Not only Wang Nanhu, but every soldier standing on the position breathed a sigh of relief at this time. Many soldiers even knelt on the ground and shed tears. Because since the establishment of the guard company, they have never encountered such a huge enemy.

of casualties.

"Report to the brigade commander, the 1st Battalion of the 5th Regiment has been ordered to report... Report to the brigade commander, the artillery company has been ordered to report..." The artillery company commander and the 1st battalion commander came to Wang Nanhu's side together.

"Okay, comrades, you came just in time, really in time. The guard company has been saved, the base area has been saved..." Looking at the two men saluting him, brigade commander Wang Nanhu thought about the soldiers who had just sacrificed their lives.

, said excitedly.

"Comrades, because the Japanese offensive is particularly fierce, the guard company has suffered heavy casualties. Therefore, I will not give you any time to rest. How about it, there is no difficulty." Wang Nanhu looked at the company members who were sweating profusely.

asked.

"Report to the brigade commander, the comrades in the security company have already worked very hard, and the rest will be left to us." After listening to the brigade commander's words, the two said in unison.

"Okay, good job. Now the order is for the artillery company to set up a position immediately. After receiving the order, it will conduct covering fire on the Japanese position. The guard company will withdraw and make corrections. After the artillery bombardment is over, one battalion and one company will go up. The second company,

The three companies surrounded the two wings of the main force of the Japanese army respectively. I want to kill this group of little devils who don’t know the heights of the world, avenge the sacrifice of the soldiers, and give the Japanese army a warning that our Eighth Route Army is not so easy to mess with." Brigadier Wang Nanhu tightened his grip.

Fist said.

"Brigadier, I have something to say..." Just as Wang Nanhu finished speaking, the guard company commander immediately rushed to speak.

"What's going on?" Wang Nanhu said unbearably as he looked at the exhausted guard company commander.

"Report to the brigade commander, the guard company does not need to rest. We must avenge our fallen comrades and annihilate all the Japanese soldiers in front of us." The guard company commander said, almost crying.

"Captain Wang, I know you are eager for revenge, but you have been fighting for such a long time, and the soldiers are very tired. For your own sake, you should go down and rest first. There will be many battles for you to fight in the future." Looking at the guards with tired faces.

Company commander, Wang Nanhu immediately refused.

"Report to the brigade commander that the entire security company requested to participate in the battle and refused to withdraw from the battlefield." The instructor of the security company who followed behind also spoke, his tone full of determination.

"Okay, since the soldiers want revenge so much, I will give you a chance. Later, when the troops participate in the general offensive, the guard company can participate in the battle. However, the guard company's current mission is to take a good rest and recuperate in the shortest possible time.

Stay inside, restore your combat effectiveness, and join the final battle against the enemy later." Brigadier Wang Nanhu finally said with a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, brigade commander. The guard company will definitely live up to the trust." After hearing Wang Nanhu's order, the two men looked happy and answered excitedly.

…At this moment, the Japanese bombardment also ended.
