Chapter 7 Chase!

"Nani?"

Sakata Nobori and Chief of Staff Major Dokuno Taro said in shock at the same time.

"Is there no statistical error?"

Sakata Nobori said with a gloomy expression.

"The statistics are not wrong, Captain."

The Japanese staff officer who reported the battle damage said bitterly: "Most of the casualties were caused by the 1st and 2nd Infantry Squadrons of the 2nd Infantry Group responsible for the frontal attack, as well as a small part of the 3rd Infantry Squadron."

"In addition, the 1st and 3rd Infantry Brigades, which were supporting the attack on both wings, also lost a small number of troops."

Taro Duye waved his hand and motioned for the Japanese staff officer who was reporting to go down.

Then, Taro Dokno said with a solemn expression: "Captain, there are too many casualties all of a sudden."

"Most of it was caused by the enemy's sudden appearance of ten heavy machine guns. Xu Rui, the commander of the 303rd Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army, was very cunning, and he only used the heavy machine guns to deal with us at this time."

Nobori Sakata held a telescope with a gloomy face and looked at the garrison position on the main peak of Niujialing.

I saw ten enemy heavy machine guns deployed in very hidden trenches on both sides of the main peak of Niujialing.

The two sides cross and cover the bottom of the mountain, which is enough to target at least 500 meters down the mountain. It is not a problem.

"hateful!"

Sakata Nobori gritted his teeth and said: "This enemy army must be trapped to death."

"I'm going to kill them all without leaving any one behind!"

Just as Duye Taro was about to respond, suddenly, the heavy machine guns on the defenders' positions on both sides of the main peak of Niujialing opened fire violently.

"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom!!"

The defenders suddenly concentrated their grenades and smashed them violently at the Japanese encirclement behind the main peak of Niujialing.

"Baga, the enemy is about to break out!"

Sakata Nobori immediately changed his expression slightly.

"Report to the captain and chief of staff that a large number of enemy troops have appeared behind Niujialing and are storming the encirclement behind. The imperial army encircling the north side of Niujialing can no longer withstand it."

Not long after, a Japanese staff officer came hurriedly to report.

"Bagheya Road, block the enemy troops for me! Don't let us break out."

Sakata Nobori roared: "Order each infantry brigade to launch a fierce attack to contain the enemy's breakout force."

"Yes, Captain."

The Japanese staff officer paused heavily and immediately ran down to deliver the order.

But at this time, Xu Rui ordered the heavy machine gunners behind him to operate ten heavy machine guns and provide fire cover to break through from the north side of Niujialing.

Sakata Nobori was stunned. He didn't expect that Xu Rui would command the troops to break through the encirclement.

In addition, there were not many Japanese troops encircling the north side of Niujialing. They may have thought that the terrain on the north side of Niujialing was difficult to break through, so they were careless.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

Under the cover of heavy machine gun fire, Xu Rui commanded the battalions of the 303rd Regiment to forcibly tear apart the Japanese encirclement line on the north side of Niujialing, and then commanded the troops to rush towards the high mountains deep in Hutou Mountain.

By the time Sakata Nobori mobilized the main force to attack the north side of Niujialing, the torn encirclement line was already in pieces.

"Captain, you guys, heavy machine guns, all the enemy troops exploded!"

Seeing the blown-up parts of the ten heavy machine guns, a Japanese staff officer pointed at them and said quickly.

“It’s so rewarding!”

Sakata Nobori gritted his teeth, but he didn't expect that the enemy troops even lost their heavy machine guns, just to break out of the encirclement with light weapons.

"Chase me!!"

Sakata Nobori was already fired, not to mention getting information about the traitors within the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army, and finally surrounded an enemy regiment-level unit.

Unexpectedly, the enemy troops broke through Niujialing and ran away.

"Yes, Captain."

Seeing the ferocious look on Sakata Nobori's face, the regiment chief of staff, Major Dokno Taro, did not dare to dissuade him and could only agree with Sakata Nobori's pursuit order.

Soon, the Sakata Regiment, which still had more than 3,400 Japanese soldiers, under the command of Sakata Nobori, chased after the traces left by Xu Rui's troops.

At this time, Xu Rui commanded more than 1,300 soldiers of the 303rd Regiment to run wildly towards the high mountains deep in Hutou Mountain.

After running for almost twenty minutes, the troops covering the rear immediately sent people to catch up and report the enemy's situation to Xu Rui.

"Duanzao, Sakata Nobori is still chasing us."

The scouts at the rear caught up and reported to Xu Ruihui.

"Made, this old devil Sakata Nobori is determined to kill me!"

Xu Rui cursed.

"Tuanzu, what should we do?"

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu quickly said: "With the little devil chasing you like this, my brothers have to keep running."

"It's almost night in an hour, can you guys continue running?"

Xu Rui said.

"sure!"

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu nodded and said.

"Then continue moving to the high mountains deep in Hutou Mountain. I don't believe it. It will be dark an hour later, and this old devil Sakata Nobori still dares to lead his troops to chase us."

Xu Rui snorted and sneered, "In the dark of night, I am absolutely sure that as long as this old devil Sakata Nobori continues to chase us, there will be no problem in ambush him."

"Then let's do it!"

Luo Youdu nodded and agreed.

"Send the order, speed up the march, retreat!!!"

Xu Rui waved his hand and said.

"Yes, group seat."

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu nodded and immediately sent messengers to pass orders back and forth to speed up the transfer.

"Order from the regiment, speed up the march."

"Order from the regiment, speed up the march."

"Order from the regiment, speed up the march."

Soon, the soldiers of the 303rd Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army who were rapidly moving speeded up one by one and quickly withdrew towards the high mountains deep in Hutou Mountain.

The Sakata Regiment that was pursuing behind them, under the command of the Regiment Commander Nobuori Sakata, was also running out of breath.

Even the artillery squadron behind them did not wait, and directly commanded the Japanese soldiers of each infantry group under their command to continue the pursuit.

However, under the command of Xu Rui, the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army, which has been active in the Hutoushan Mountains all year round, can move in the mountains much faster than the Japanese soldiers of Sakata Nobuori's infantry regiment.

.

What's more, in order to transfer, Xu Rui used the ten heavy machine guns as a gift package for newbies given by the system, and all of them exploded after the final breakout, just to break out of the encirclement with light weapons.

"Bagh Ya Road, Bagh Ya Road! These enemy troops are running so fast."

The Japanese soldiers at the Sakata Nobori Command Post were running out of breath, but they couldn't even see the rear of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army that had forced their way out, and they were immediately furious.

"Captain, it's already 7:26, are you still chasing me?"

The chief of staff of the wing, Taro Dokno, said bravely: "If we continue to pursue, we will be close to the depths of Hutou Mountain."

"Once night falls, our more than 3,000 imperial soldiers may be easily ambushed by the enemy."

Sakata Nobori gritted his teeth and said: "Keep chasing, I won't believe it anymore, we can't catch up with this enemy army."

"Order the cavalry squad in the regiment to catch up before the large army and entangle the enemy."
