The Japanese did not dare to launch a new attack for a whole day after they retreated. Su Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and went to the acting captain to ask about the situation.
The acting commander was shocked and gratified by the outstanding performance of the sniper team led by Su Yuan during the day's battle, but he introduced to Su Yuan: "Although we have repelled the Japanese attack here, the situation in other places seems to be very bad.
Optimistically, the Japs seem to be clinging to our main force. The troops have not escaped the Japs' encirclement and interception. We are ordered to hold on here for another day. Only if we resist here will the Japs' advance be slowed down.
, in order to buy time for the large troops to evacuate.”
"What a lingering ghost!" Su Yuan couldn't help but cursed.
"We have become the forefront of the resistance. Tomorrow the Japanese attack will be even crazier." The acting commander was also worried. Fortunately, Su Yuan was there. He couldn't help asking: "Captain Su, what suggestions do you have?"
"After the Japanese attacked us during the day, I guess they will definitely change their offensive strategy tomorrow." Su Yuan said, "They will find ways to deal with our sniper troops."
"Then how will we hold on tomorrow?" The acting head of the group worried: "Tomorrow the Japanese will definitely press forward with all their strength."
"It is estimated that they will not launch a large-scale infantry charge again." Su Yuan judged: "They will definitely mobilize snipers to help in the battle, and..."
"What?" asked the acting leader.
"I'm just guessing." Su Yuan replied: "If I would strengthen the long-range firepower, our troops would definitely be covered by fierce artillery fire."
"I will immediately order the troops to strengthen the fortifications," the acting commander said immediately.
"This can't avoid heavy casualties." Su Yuan hesitated.
"For the sake of the large army, it's worth it even if we kill them all." The acting captain replied through gritted teeth.
Su Yuan's heart trembled, and he finally suggested: "It will be useless to leave too many troops on the position tomorrow, and the Japanese will also encircle us in a roundabout way. What I mean is that you lead the main force of the regiment to retreat..."
"No!" the acting captain said resolutely: "The order I received is to stay here for a day and a night."
"Yes, this is a resolute mission, but we can reduce casualties to complete it, and you are retreating to establish a second line of defense." Su Yuan said: "It is really unnecessary for us to stay here."
"Then you lead the team to evacuate, and I will stay here." The acting leader said immediately.
"Can you deal with the Japs' snipers?" Su Yuan's words left him speechless. The acting commander had to say: "How many troops do you leave behind?"
"In Daimyo, I will hold off the Japanese with one company for three days. You can keep one company." Su Yuan replied: "There are also snipers. You can take half of them with you. This will be the source of strength for the army in the future."
"You..." Listening to Su Yuan's words, it seemed that he was determined to die, and the acting captain felt unbearable.
"Don't worry." Su Yuan said: "It is easier for us to reduce our troops and retreat after completing the mission. Don't forget, I have been fighting guerrilla warfare for several years."
"Okay then." The acting team leader held Su Yuan's hand and said, "I'll treat you to a drink when you come back."
The large army began to move at night. Su Yuan originally arranged for Xiaoyun and Chen Xinghuzi to evacuate together. He only left Xiaowu behind, but everyone objected to staying. In the end, Su Yuan had to strictly order Chen Xing to leave.
In the evening, Su Yuan and Xu Meng, who stayed behind to lead the company, discussed tomorrow's battle. Tomorrow they would face crazy artillery fire and sniper fire from the Japanese. This was Su Yuan's judgment, and they began to make deployments based on this.
