Chapter 88 The Confused Retreat
The little Japanese commander also did not expect that their troops had been attacking the Chinese positions for more than three hours, but they had not made any progress.
And they themselves suffered heavy losses. One squadron was almost completely wiped out, and another squadron was beaten with only half of its men left.
"Why is this happening? Didn't our artillery fire cause any harm to them?"
The little Japanese commander couldn't figure it out. They had previously captured the Chinese army's position. Under the first round of artillery fire, the heavy firepower on the Chinese army's position was reduced by at least one-third.
But this time they fired almost more artillery shells than the Chinese army, but the firepower on the position was still not easy to output.
"Captain Guo, your information is very accurate, but I want to ask you, do you know who the commander of the Chinese army is?"
Guo Hanting stayed at the Japs' headquarters at any time, waiting for orders from the Japanese commander.
"The commander of the opposite position should be Zhao Zhiguo, but we know very little about him. We only know that this man once sneaked into Heyun County and killed our regiment leader."
"We have spent more than three hours here with the Chinese army. I am afraid that the Chinese troops in the rear have been assembled."
The Japs originally wanted to quickly open the road to ensure that their follow-up troops and transportation teams could move quickly, but after it lasted for so long, they had lost the opportunity.
"Are we going to retreat?" Guo Hanting asked.
"If this battle continues, it's hard to say who will win and who will lose. We have already suffered a lot of losses today." The little Japanese commander behaved extremely calmly.
The most fearful thing on the battlefield is to encounter such a calm commander. He can know the advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and ourselves at any time.
"There is a Chinese squad that has been harassing us today. They must have a more special purpose. It is either our artillery position or our headquarters." Commander Little Devil said, "I really admire this Zhao Zhiguo. He
He actually dared to detach his troops to look for other fighters before our troops reached the border. I really don’t know where his confidence comes from. If there is a chance in the future, I must meet him well."
This battle actually showed the little Japanese commander's admiration for Zhao Zhiguo.
Zhao Zhiguo didn't know what the character of the little Japanese commander was. He only knew that in this battle, the little Japanese commander fought very cautiously, so cautiously that he even felt that the little Japanese commander was a little abnormal.
Just when the news that Commander Zhang ordered Zhao Zhiguo to hold on until dark reached the position, the Japs actually began to order a retreat.
"What are you doing, luring the snake out of its hole?"
Zhao Zhiguo observed the little Japanese's retreating behavior and was a little confused for a moment.
More than three hours ago, the Japs were still very aggressive and would not give up until they captured Zhao Zhiguo's position.
In more than three hours, the Japs suffered nearly 400 casualties. Before Zhao Zhiguo's real plan could be launched, the Japs actually retreated.
"Did the little Japs come here on purpose to give us equipment?" Yao Peng asked.
"Things are definitely not that simple. We can't be careless."
Things were so abnormal that Zhao Zhiguo suspected that there must be some conspiracy.
When Zhao Zhiguo speculated about the Japanese army's conspiracy, Dianhou had already disguised himself as a puppet soldier and infiltrated into the puppet army.
As for where his puppet uniform came from, he naturally tied up two puppet soldiers and tied them together. After asking about the army's password and where Guo Hanting's headquarters was, he took a puppet soldier and
His clothes were taken off and he put on a puppet army uniform.
Dianhou successfully sneaked into the military camp and found Guo Hanting who had just come out of the Japanese military headquarters.
At this time, Guo Hanting still had questions on his forehead. He couldn't figure out why the little Japanese suddenly ordered a retreat.
Just when he was thinking about something, he bumped into someone. He was about to curse, but when he saw this person's appearance, his heart jumped into his throat.
"You don't want your life?"
Obviously the person who bumped into him was Dianhou, so he quickly pulled Dianhou to a corner where no one was paying attention.
"It's not that I'm dying, it's the kid that's dying. Is this the kid's headquarters?"
"What are you going to do? Do you want to rush in alone and kill the little Japanese commander?" Guo Hanting asked in a low voice.
"Of course I'm not here to kill him, I just want to determine where his headquarters is. As long as we determine the location of his headquarters, we will have the means to kill him," Norihou said.
"Did Zhao Zhiguo send you here?"
"No, I came here myself." Dianhou said.
"You're late!"
"What? He's dead? Who killed him?"
"He's not dead. He just held a combat meeting with us. The troops are going to retreat. As for where to retreat, he didn't say. Moreover, when retreating, he invited me to accompany him, which means he will not leave. I suspect he seems to know something.
." Guo Hanting said.
"You mean your identity has been exposed? If so, you can come with me later."
Hearing Dianhou's words, Guo Hanting was stunned for a moment, and then said thank you. He didn't expect that Dianhou would still care about him at this time.
"I'm still not sure about this matter, maybe I'm overthinking it, and I can't leave either. My family is still in Heyun County."
"It seems that I really came here in vain!"
"You hurry up and leave. I will give the order to retreat soon. If you are a step later, you will not be able to leave." Guo Hanting said anxiously.
"Okay, if there's trouble and you want to evacuate, you'd better write it down and put it in the same place."
When Noianhou heard that the Japanese and puppet troops were about to evacuate, he was shocked. He had to leave the military camp and go back quickly.
The sudden retreat of the Little Japanese commander not only confused Zhao Zhiguo and Guo Hanting, but also confused the Little Japanese soldiers and other officers.
The officers and soldiers of the Little Devils all believed that they had severely damaged the Chinese defenders and that they would be able to capture the Chinese army's positions in less than two hours.
Although the little Japanese were full of doubts, they finally carried out the order. A squadron of soldiers took charge of the rear, and all the Japanese and puppet troops began to evacuate eastward along the main road.
After Dianhou returned to his position, he told Zhao Zhiguo everything Guo Hanting had told him.
"Company commander, are you trying to lure the snake out of the cave?" Qin Dongsheng asked.
"Isn't it too low-level to lure snakes out of their caves? We only have the advantage of terrain. Even if you are a fool, you can see that we have an advantage because of our terrain advantage. Besides, I think the commander of this kid today is extraordinary," Dianhou said.
.
"Unusual? It's indeed a bit unusual!"
Zhao Zhiguo also felt the smell of conspiracy, but he couldn't figure out what the little devil would do next. It would definitely be more than simply retreating.
"Today when I led our platoon of soldiers to harass the Japanese army, the Japs didn't pay attention to us at all. They just defended on the spot and never pursued us. Company Commander, do you think this is too evil? According to the Japs' past temper,
