Chapter 227 More than 500 casualties were killed and killed in the shelling!
"Retreat to Duguling and guarding the enemy to wait for assistance?"
Hearing this, Kensalo Bamboo and Rattan said in a voice.
Under the night, I could not take it even after watching General Ling who had attacked several times.
Taro Nagata already understood that when Xu Rui and his troops advanced west to a place less than one kilometer east of General Ridge, he could no longer take down General Ridge under such circumstances.
Now, we can only retreat south and retreat to a mountain about two kilometers south of General Ridge, waiting for assistance.
Otherwise, if you are attacked by General Ling and the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army that was pursued by General Ling, it will be a dead end.
What's more, Kensalo Takerado just now reported that Xu Rui and other troops were building artillery positions and would soon launch artillery fire strikes on them.
Now, although the remnants of Mali, commanded by Taro Nagata, still have more than 6,500 troops.
However, there was no more 70mm caliber cannon in my hand.
Although there are some 82mm caliber mortars and other grenade launchers, how can they compare to the opponent's artillery?
Thinking of this, after knowing the situation in the east, Taro Nagata immediately decided to order the troops to retreat south to Duguling to stand waiting for assistance.
"That's right!!!"
Nagata Taro saw Kenzaburo Takeru ask, waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Action immediately, the enemy's artillery group will not give us a lot of time."
"Immediately retreat south to Duguling and stand firm and wait for help! Hurry up!!"
Seeing this, Kensalo Takeraki knew that Nagata Taro was doing right, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Yes, division commander."
Immediately, Major General Kensalo Takerado did not hesitate and immediately sent someone to order to retreat.
Soon, at 4:42 in the early morning.
The Japanese soldiers hundreds of meters below the Mount Sun Ridge suddenly retreated south under the order of Taro Nagata.
After more than 6,000 Japanese soldiers moved, Chu Yunfei on the General Ridge Mountain immediately noticed it.
"The gangster, the Japanese ran south!"
He pointed to the distance from the General Ridge, a large number of Japanese troops retreated southward. Lieutenant Colonel Fang Ligong, chief of staff of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, changed his expression and said.
"Mad, is this old devil Nagata Taro actually scared?"
When Chu Yunfei saw this situation, he was a little unbelievable.
Taro Nagata, this old devil still has more than 6,500 people!
"Maybe I knew about the arrival of Xu Rui and Li Yunlong, because I was afraid that we would be attacked by us at the foot of the General Ridge."
Chief of Staff Fang Ligong immediately thought about it and then guessed.
"Maybe this!"
Chu Yunfei nodded, agreed with Fang Ligong's guess, and then immediately clapped his hands and smiled: "The Japanese no longer have the intention to attack General Ling."
"Order the artillery and concentrate the artillery fire to bomb me! You can't let the Japanese retreat safely to the south!"
Fang Ligong immediately said, "I understand, the team." Then Fang Ligong immediately ordered the artillery to fire.
In an instant, the artillery of the 358th Regiment on the General Ridge Mountain immediately concentrated artillery and mortars, aiming at the Japanese team that were moving south and retreating violently.
"Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish!!!"
The harsh and sharp whistling immediately over the early morning night.
Soon, shells with long tail flames roared into the Japanese team that were retreating south in a hurry.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!!!"
Explosions were one after another, and the Japanese soldiers in the retreating Japanese team were screaming in succession.
The explosion of fire immediately attracted Xu Rui, Li Yunlong and others less than one kilometer east of General Ridge.
"Captain Xu, the artillery soldiers of the 358th Regiment on the General Ridge Mountain have fired!"
Li Yunlong said in surprise: "There is less than ten minutes of attack launch time!".
"It may be a situation!"
Xu Rui immediately said in a calm voice.
Soon, a communications soldier hurried to Xu Rui to report: "The report group seat, the people from the 358th Regiment informed us through walkie-talkies that the remnants of the Japanese army in Nagata Taro's command headquarters were retreating south."
"They are firing fire on the General Ridge Mountain, please fire immediately!"
When Xu Rui heard this, he immediately said to the artillery company commander Wang Dazhu: "Fire the artillery immediately!".
"Yes, the team!!!"
Wang Dazhu, the company commander of the artillery company of the 303rd Regiment of the Shanxi Sui Army, stood attentively saluted, and then quickly ran to the almost-constructed artillery position, waving a small flag to command the artillery to fire.
"The area south of the target General Ridge Mountains was bombarded in groups and fired!!!"
With the order of Wang Dazhu, thirty 75mm mountain cannons immediately covered and bombarded the south of the foot of the General Ridge.
"Bangbang, bangbang!!!"
Accompanied by the sudden sound of cannon ejecting from the bore, the shells hit the predetermined bombardment position in the early morning night sky.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!!!"
The dense shells instantly hit the Japanese team that were moving towards Duguling in a few seconds.
The fragments of the explosion splashed everywhere, and in the darkness of the night, they unceremoniously penetrated the bodies of countless Japanese soldiers.
The screams of the Japanese soldiers were shouting out immediately.
Taro Nagata, along with Chief of Staff Kensalo Takeraki and other command personnel, took the lead and rushed towards Duguling in front of the team.
Turning his head and looking at it, the dense shells chasing south and blew up, immediately scaring Taro Nagata to speed up and run towards Duguling.
For a moment, more than 6,500 Japanese devils, under the hurried command of Nagata Taro, were running towards Duguling, and the team began to become a little confusing in the organization.
Fortunately, under the night, Xu Rui and others ordered artillery fire. The artillery accuracy was impossible to be very accurate because of the night.
Therefore, it can only be bombarded according to the scope of the Japanese retreating south.
But so many artillery fire covered the bombing, which caused the remnants of the Japanese troops retreating south towards Duguling.
It was not until 4:53 in the morning that Taro Nagata commanded the remnants to retreat to Duguling.
Duguling is a mountain with more than a dozen small hills, with an altitude of between 400 and 700 meters.
The main peak has the highest altitude, about 680 meters.
At the first time, after Nagata Taro retreated to Dugu Ridge, he immediately set up the command center on the main peak of Dugu Ridge according to the map's contour display.
Looking down at the overall situation, the rest of the people immediately scattered on more than a dozen small hills around Duguling.
"The division commander, during the retreat, he was subjected to fierce shelling of the enemy, with great casualties!"
The division commander, Chief of Staff Kensalo Takeraki, and others reported to Taro Nagata of the troops lost during the retreat to Duguling in the process of retreating to Duguling in total, and said: "We were chasing and bombing by the enemy's fierce artillery fire during the process of retreating to Duguling in total, and killed or more than 500 people."
"At present, after the losses and casualties reported by various departments, we still have about 6,000 people!"
Upon hearing this, Taro Nagata who looked at the hillside of more than a dozen small hills around Duguling on Duguling, sighed secretly, with a helpless expression.
"knew!"
Taro Nagata finally waved his hand and said bitterly.
"Chief of the Division, you are the backbone of our entire army!"
Seeing that Taro Nagata was a little bit unscrupulous, Kensalo immediately encouraged him: "We still have more than 6,000 elite imperial troops, relying on the main peak of Duguling and more than a dozen small hills around it to defend."
"Faced with the siege of Xu Rui and other enemy troops, they will not feel good in the future."
Taro Nagata waved his hand and said, "With that being said, we are now a big loss."
