Chapter 447: Prepare to Evacuate
Time passed by, and the sky became darker and darker, but no one in the forest dared to act rashly. After all, no one wanted to be the target of the other.
"Captain, it's getting dark soon. Do you want our soldiers to withdraw early?"
Yao Pengju and the others had already scouted the Japanese troops outside the forest. The defenses deployed by the Japanese troops were not tight. It was almost impossible for the little Japs to stop them with such defenses.
But now the snipers of the special forces have been intertwined with the Japanese soldiers lurking in the woods, and it is too difficult to withdraw from the battle.
"After the sun goes down, signal to the soldiers of the special operations team, lay booby traps on the spot, retreat with cameras, and ensure your own safety first."
Zhao Zhiguo was also worried that the soldiers of the special forces would suffer casualties during the retreat, but the darker the sky, the harder it would be for the Japanese troops to find their targets.
The battle has not ended yet, and the Japanese commander is becoming more and more anxious. He never thought that he would fight for a whole day against a group of defeated troops without making any progress.
The occasional gunshots in the woods kept reminding the Japanese commander that his soldiers were still alive and continuing to fight! However, they did not know what kind of progress had been made.
Regardless of whether the result is good or bad, people will accept it, but the longer something goes without results for a long time, the more irritating it is.
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, it will get dark in an hour! Should we stay where we are, or..."
The Japanese military staff did not say anything about retreating. The terrain in the mountains was too complex. If they defended on the spot like this, they would probably be attacked by the Chinese army at night.
"Let Matsui Squadron enter the woods and launch another attack!"
The Japanese commander decided to fight again, and the reason was very simple. The soldiers they sent to the woods must have delayed the Chinese cold gunmen in the woods.
If they enter the forest in large numbers and the Chinese soldiers hide in the dark and shoot at their troops, the Japanese soldiers hiding in the dark will definitely discover the hidden Chinese snipers first.
"But... once it gets dark..." the Japanese staff officer reminded the Japanese commander.
The light in the forest is very dim during the day. Once the sun goes down and their troops enter the forest, it will be difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, and they may even get into a fight with their own people.
"Withdraw from the battle after dark, and send a signal to the lurking soldiers to evacuate together! We must guard against their breakout at night."
The Japs once again tried to enter the forest to launch an attack. The snipers on the first line of defense had no time to take care of the Japanese troops coming in. They had to always be on guard against nearby Japanese gunmen, so they had no choice but to let them pass.
However, those traps that were not punished still worked. More than a dozen little devils stepped into the trap again, but the injured little devils were treated.
After this day, the little Japanese soldiers finally found out what happened to these traps. Knowing how these traps were arranged, the little Japanese soldiers could take precautions.
Precaution is precaution, but when the gunfire rings out, the little devil only focuses on hiding the gun in the open, and cannot hide from the "arrows" in the dark.
When the soldiers on the second level of defense discovered that they were approaching, they aimed at the little Japanese soldiers and fired directly. Several little Japanese soldiers fell down on the spot.
When encountering an attack, the first reaction of soldiers on the battlefield is to find bunkers to hide, and then wait for opportunities to fight back and attack the enemy!
The best cover in the forest is naturally the trees. The little Japanese soldiers leaned against the trees one after another to avoid the fire from the front. However, as soon as the few little Japanese soldiers hid under their subordinates, they stepped on the traps one after another.
There was a sunken trap under the tree, with sharp wooden thorns placed in the trap. When some of the little devils were trying to avoid the fire, they sat down directly with their backs against the big tree.
Soon the sharp wooden thorns helped the little devil open up more roads on his butt!
Not only were there traps underground, but the traps above were even more deadly. The stones and rolling logs tied high up fell directly from the trees, seriously injuring the little devil on the spot.
Before the Japanese soldiers had time to fight back, there were already a large number of casualties, especially those little devils who had several holes in their butts. After they were rescued by nearby soldiers, they did not dare to stand or sit.
, I can only stick my butt out and be afraid.
The remaining Japanese soldiers who had not fallen into the trap no longer dared to hide behind the trees. They could only lie on the ground and fight back. However, without the protection of the bunker, they soon became the targets of the Chinese soldiers.
"Bang bang bang bang"
The battle was almost one-sided. The Japanese soldiers had no bunkers and were very panicked. Their marksmanship also declined a lot.
Seeing more and more of his soldiers being killed, Captain Matsui quickly ordered a retreat.
Although the Japanese attack was unsuccessful, the Matsui Squadron successfully found out the situation in the woods and reported the situation to their commander.
The attack failed and more than a hundred people were lost, but the Japanese commander was very happy! As long as they understood the deployment of the Chinese army in his forest, they would be able to find a way to crack it.
"Call all officers above the squadron commander for a meeting!"
The Japanese commander believed that as long as he attacked according to his deployment early tomorrow morning, he would be able to deal with the Chinese army, and then he would lead his troops to leave this barren place.
"There are elite gunners from the Chinese army at a distance of 200 to 300 meters in the forest. They are used to shoot our officers. But you don't have to worry about it tomorrow. I will arrange for soldiers to sneak into the forest to ambush before dawn tomorrow.
Come down, as long as they fire, their position will be exposed, and our people will eradicate them in one fell swoop, so the troops attacking from the front tomorrow only need to be careful of the traps under their feet."
The commander of the Japanese army laid out the battle plan for tomorrow overnight. He believed that the Chinese army would not be able to escape tonight.
"After dawn tomorrow, in addition to the one squadron attacking from the front, there will be two squadrons attacking from both wings. The attacking troops must remember that when encountering enemy firepower, they must rush directly to the enemy as quickly as possible. Never
Look for bunkers to avoid, because behind the bunkers are traps laid by the Chinese army."
As long as these two layers of defense are broken through, they only need to wipe out the Chinese defeated troops in one fell swoop.
The Japanese commander nodded with satisfaction at his deployment and waited until dawn tomorrow to implement his plan.
Of course Zhao Zhiguo would not give the Japanese a chance to wipe out his troops in this forest, and he was not even willing to pay greater casualties here.
"Commander, all our soldiers have withdrawn, and four snipers were killed!"
