Having just repelled a Japanese attack, the soldiers were rushing to repair the fortifications destroyed by Japanese artillery fire, preparing to face another Japanese attack at any time.
The battalion commander received the order from his superiors, and the troops immediately withdrew from the bridge and followed the large troops to the southwest. The soldiers on the battlefield were in an uproar, but they could do nothing but be annoyed.
After receiving the order, Su Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then became angry. How could he give up the land surrounded by sacrificed comrades who defended it with their blood? Moreover, the Japanese army also suffered a heavy blow. Why did they retreat!?
"There is no way. Our 29th Army alone cannot stop the Japanese. The central government is still compromising and does not support us at all." The third battalion commander said helplessly.
"But the Japanese will attack soon, and our retreat will be very passive." Su Yuan replied.
"The large forces retreated, leaving a platoon to monitor and block the attack, and then evacuated." the battalion commander ordered.
"Then let me stay!" Su Yuan immediately requested.
At this time, Su Yuan had already disregarded life and death after realizing the cruelty of war. After he participated in the battle of the Broadsword Commando to regain the bridge, he saw that almost all of the Broadsword Commando were killed and knew that sooner or later he would face death in the battle, so he then
He wrote a letter to his family, and also included two divorce letters. Now he has no worries.
"Okay then, retreat immediately in an hour." the battalion commander ordered.
The troops quickly evacuated. Su Yuan commanded his more than 20 soldiers to continue to stand on the position. Next to him were two soldiers who were responsible for pressing bullets for him. Although their defense appeared to be very weak in the open position, they
Su Yuan was confident that he could hold on for an hour.
The Japanese were also aware of their retreat. They continued to suffer disastrous defeats here. They hated the Chinese defenders here, and did not want to see them retreat. Moreover, Japanese commander Tashiro heard that troops in other places had won consecutive victories.
, and even more wanted to wipe out the Chinese defenders in front of them in one fell swoop to avenge their shame, otherwise they would lose face.
This time there was no time for artillery support, so they launched an attack simultaneously under a burst of mortar fire.
In order to stop the Japs, Su Yuan ordered the soldiers to start blocking the Japs when they were still more than 200 meters away from their position. Otherwise, with their firepower, they would not be able to stop the Japs once they approached.
The rapid weakening of the blocking firepower on the Chinese position made the Japanese rush up even more crazily. However, although the blocking firepower was weak, it was actually mixed with very accurate shooting. When the Japanese saw that those holding the command knife were being killed one after another, and together with those at the front
The soldiers were always hit in the head. This was not an ordinary shooting. Usually the bullet hit the helmet and sometimes slipped sideways, but this shot hit the star emblem in the center, and the bullet penetrated the helmet's head.
Sometimes they hit the soldiers behind again.
The Japanese became even more timid, and there were gradually fewer and fewer officers around them who were shouting orders. If anyone showed up to supervise the battle at this time, he would be hit in the head with a precise bullet. No matter how fierce the Japanese were, they became timid.
Retreat to the ground.
This made Tashiro, who was supervising the battle from behind, furious. At the same time, he also learned from the report that there was a sharpshooter on the Chinese position. It was not an ordinary shooting. He immediately realized that it was the sharpshooter who killed Major General Matsuyu from a long distance.
"Anyone who dares to take a step back will be shot to death!" Tashiro issued a death order.
Immediately, the attacking Japanese began to prepare for a new round of more violent attacks. At this time, Su Yuan also received the order to complete the mission and let them evacuate quickly.
