Six more Japanese bombers appeared over the battlefield. Wang Lao Lao, who was about to encourage his brothers to work harder to annihilate the besieged Japs, listened to the roar of the fighter engines and looked at the more than 600 Japs in the encirclement.
He put his guns back into the holsters on his back and said to the company and battalion commanders around him: "Tell the brothers to retreat in batches! Go to the air raid shelter!"
The company and battalion commanders all changed their expressions and questioned: "Withdraw?"
"Retreat immediately! Grandma is a bear!" Wang Laohu shouted, then turned around and left without any intention of fighting.
A camper named Fang Fang shouted at his back: "Tuanzuo, give me ten minutes, ten minutes, and I can wipe out these gangsters!"
Wang Laohu turned around and glared at him and said: "Stop talking nonsense, organize a retreat immediately!" Then he glanced sideways at Du Disheng and said: "Xiao Du, aren't you leaving? Are you waiting to be bombed?"
After listening to Geng Qingsheng's translation and looking at the indignant cadet officers, Du Disheng said to several of his officers: "Retreat in batches! The Japanese army may launch indiscriminate bombing!"
The officers and soldiers of the 61st Division immediately carried out this order. Under the command of several school-level and lieutenant-level officers, the Filipino and American soldiers raised their heads and glanced at the Japanese bombers in the sky, and immediately ran towards the direction of the air raid shelter.
go.
Just at this time, Tian received an order from Hong Ye Qiu Sheng and ordered everyone to launch a jade attack. The first batch of Japanese soldiers holding explosives had just emerged from behind the bunker where they were hiding, and they were attacked by the defenders' machine gunners.
After strafing, the Japanese gunpowder barrels were detonated one after another, and with a "rumbling" explosion, the cadet company and battalion commanders finally realized the painstaking efforts of the regiment and began to conscientiously execute the retreat order.
On the top of the mountain, Sharp and Marunan saw this scene. The former frowned and said, "What a pity. The Japanese fighter planes arrived ten minutes late. This Japanese army will definitely not be able to escape the fate of total annihilation."
Seeing those Japanese soldiers being exploded like gasoline barrels, Ma Lunan's eyes shrank and he said, "The Japanese are so crazy. Is this a suicide attack?"
"I have to admit that the Chinese do have better ways to deal with the Japanese than we do! Huh? The Japanese planes have started bombing!"
Wang Laohu issued the retreat order in time, but even so, under the crazy pursuit of six Japanese planes, more than fifty people in the group were still killed. And if he had issued the retreat order later, in the
When the Tianlian team launched a Yusui attack, it was hard to say how many of their people could escape into the air raid shelter.
The last batch of about fifty students retreated. They fought and retreated, and slowly got out of the attack range of the suicide bombers of the Tian United Team. After these suicide bombers were distanced, they became fixed-point blasting targets for the defenders.
Weapons, Tian realized this and immediately ordered the Yusui attack to be stopped, and then led them to attack again from the east, hoping to bypass the mountain densely covered with air raid shelters and take a detour from the east to occupy a high ground.
Wang Laohu naturally would not let him succeed. After escaping a round of bombing by Japanese planes, he gathered the snipers in a group and Gu Daping's mortar unit to use precise sniping and shelling.
This attempt of the Japanese army was shattered. The remaining 500 Japs in the Tian Alliance suffered more than a hundred casualties under their scalpel-like precision strikes. Tian saw that the last struggle also failed, thinking of the previous division.
Following the commander's order, he performed a disembowelment on a gentle slope to apologize. At this point, this round of Japanese attack was thwarted again.
After this round of fighting, a regiment of more than 2,000 troops has only more than 700 people left. Among them, there are still about 340 students, and the Filipino soldiers suffered the most heavy casualties. The original group of more than 1,000 people,
There are only about 150 people left now, and as for the American soldiers, there are still a little over 200.
Wang Laohu's face turned dark immediately when the casualty data from each department were reported to him. The student casualties were about 170, which had already exceeded the bottom line Xiao Anbao had set for him. He rarely kept quiet for a long time because he often cursed.
, just sitting at the entrance of the cave smoking.
The Japanese army's offensive method was still the same old-fashioned way. After the ground attack was thwarted, it was followed by indiscriminate bombing. Bombs and artillery shells exploded not far from Wang Laohu. Du Dickson felt a wave of fear and walked to his
Behind him, he patted him on the back and said: "Captain Wang, sit a little further inside, it's too dangerous here!"
Geng Qingsheng immediately translated what he said. Wang Laohu turned around and glared at him fiercely, snorted heavily and continued to smoke.
At this time, Wang Laohu stood up straight, his eyes were emotionless, and he had a steel-like air of being repulsive from a distance. If it had been the beginning, Du Disheng would definitely not have gotten into trouble and persisted in admonishing him.
.However, after witnessing his extraordinary command methods, especially his fast and effective combat methods, he realized that this Chinese man with a rough appearance but a real talent in his belly was the key figure in whether the group could persist in completing the mission.
But he doesn't care what kind of unfair or rude treatment he will receive - "So many brothers died in the battle, and I feel very sad, but now is far from the time to be sentimental..."
Even though Wang Laohu was sitting there with a mountain-like calmness, he was actually very agitated and even began to doubt the correctness of the commander-in-chief's support to the Philippines. Therefore, Du Disheng's serious words sounded like a fly to him.
There was a buzzing around his head, and the anger that he couldn't hide immediately erupted like a volcano. He didn't care what the Yankee was saying, and whether he had good intentions, he stood up abruptly, and put a heavy cigarette in his hand.
He fell to the ground, turned around and shouted to Du Disheng: "Grandma, you are a bear, I want to be quiet at all - what the hell are you chirping about? Damn it, if your people can even be of some use, I will
Are so many brothers dead? If you keep mumbling, I will kill you with one shot! Get out! Let me be clean for a while!"
If Wang Laohu's previous anger or scolding had other purposes and was not very pure, then now, he is really angry, so although Du Disheng didn't know what he was scolding, he felt the same as before.
He didn't understand why Wang Laohu got so angry at all, or in other words, he didn't think that the death of so many people was worth getting so angry, so he felt a little baffled, and he was treated like a donkey for his kindness.
Feeling ashamed and angry, he turned red and cursed angrily: "*! Madman, you are a madman!"
"Get out!" Wang Laohu roared again, then gave him a fierce look, turned around and sat down, and took out another cigarette to smoke.
The two chief officers had a fierce quarrel. The American and Filipino soldiers in the air-raid shelter could not help but remain silent, while the cadets were doing whatever they were supposed to do without even raising their eyelids - they knew the temperaments of their regiments very well.
With so many brothers dead in one fell swoop, they could not help but be suspected of being dragged down by soldiers from the United States and the Philippines. In their view, it would be strange if the regiment didn't get angry.
