"Get away!"

"Battleman Commander Cheng, can I take a look?" Zhang Yingqi said with tears in his eyes.

Cheng Gangmoran, he is also a soldier. He can understand the feelings of soldiers towards weapons. If someone wants to steal the weapons from him, he will fight against him.

There is no doubt about this!

None of the officers and soldiers of the 17th Cannon Regiment said goodbye to their beloved cannon.

This time, they never had the chance to fight side by side again.

"Captain Zhang, there is no need to be sad. Only by giving up can we gain. It is worth it to use these sixteen old cannons to exchange for Japanese tanks and cars."

"I know, but I am such a prodigal son!" Zhang Yingqi's eyes turned red, he slapped himself hard, then turned his head and shouted at his subordinates, "Retreat!"

Once the 17th Artillery Regiment retreated, the 371st Regiment's first battalion was no longer necessary to stay and fight the Japanese army to the death.

As soon as he left, the Japanese army's test-fired artillery shells had already been smashed toward Xishuang Temple.

It is the 4th-year Taisho 150 howitzer, which is one era more advanced than the Liao 14.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of shells were smashed down. After the violent explosion, the Xishuang Temple position instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire. Fortunately, it evacuated one step ahead, otherwise there would have been heavy casualties.

One thing that made Zhang Yingqi feel lucky was that the Japanese army was stunned by their shells, and their reaction was slower than expected.

From discovering the artillery position in Xishuangmiao to launching a counterattack, there was nearly ten minutes between them, and ten minutes for Zhang Yingqi's artillery regiment, it was enough for them to knock out a thousand artillery shells they carried!

Although this is the last time I fight with these old guys, this time is undoubtedly the most exciting and smoothest fight.

Hearing the explosions behind him, the old guys who fought all the way were blown to pieces in the Japanese artillery fire. Many officers and soldiers of the 17th Cannon Regiment who were still running stopped and looked towards Xishuang Temple.

"Captain, what's the end of our cannon?"

"It's over, it's over, the little money I've saved over the years is completely over..."

"Captain, why do we explain to the young coach?"

“…”

Hearing the explosion from Dongkou, Leng Feng knew that Zhang Yingqi and his friends' artillery bombardment had begun. After the artillery lasted for more than ten minutes, the Japanese army began to fight back.

It didn't last long, and it gradually stopped.

The entire battle lasted less than half an hour.

"The 371st Regiment reported that the 17th Artillery Regiment had been evacuated safely, but the sixteen heavy artillery failed to be removed and were all blown up by the Japanese army."

"I know, as long as people are there, it is not difficult to rebuild a heavy artillery regiment. What I care about now is our damage effect." Leng Feng asked.

Yes, the only heavy artillery regiment he has sacrificed now. If it cannot bring a huge blow to the Japanese army, then the sacrifice will not be worth it.

"This damage effect..." The staff members looked embarrassed.

"Haha, you don't have to make things difficult for you. Just look at the next move of the Japanese army, and you will know what effect our battle has achieved." Leng Feng knew how to count the damage effect in their difficulties. After all, only they knew the losses of the Japanese army.

Although the Japanese army discovered and destroyed the enemy's heavy artillery positions in time, the losses caused to the 14th Division this time were definitely a trauma.

Even the division commander Kenji Doihara was slightly injured in the shelling, and a hole in his forehead was opened, and the person fainted. Fortunately, there were no other internal injuries.

However, when he woke up and heard the adjutant report the loss figures, he almost fainted again.

The losses are too great, and the losses of personnel are second. The key is the losses of equipment, especially automobiles and materials, and what is the mechanized corps?

In addition to weapons and equipment, the important thing is the various trucks carrying these weapons.

Ordinary mountain cannons can be loaded with a pack horse. Heavy cannons weighing up to four or five tons must be towed with a towing truck with a large load, and there are shells, one forty or fifty kilograms, and they must also be shipped by truck.

There are also gasoline, diesel and other supplies!

A mechanized corps of 30,000 to 40,000 people, four or five hundred trucks, how much gasoline and diesel is needed every day?

If you were shot down, one-third of the vehicle would be gone. If it were just one-third of the vehicle, it would still be acceptable. The key is that there were supplies loaded on the vehicle.

These materials are not loaded onto the truck. When crossing the river, in order to reduce the load, they use the method of moving an ant to the other side first and then move it onto the truck!

As a result, these materials were temporarily stacked under the open air according to their categories. Ammunition and gasoline and diesel materials were flammable and explosive. This was a little bit like Mars broke into...

This tragedy happened.

Kenji Doihara was sad, but Takashi Sakai was really tragic. The armored squadron that Kenji Doihara promised to him was gone!

All were blown away, and even the people and tanks were burned to ashes.

Who knew that Cheng Gang casually encircled a target, which was the base of this armored squadron, and it was also responsible for guarding the Japanese simple oil depot.

A shell hit the oil depot directly, and more than a dozen tons of diesel leaked out. The fire was burned like this and could not even run away, and all of them were burned away.

With personnel losses, plus equipment and supplies, Kenji Doihara estimated that the combat effectiveness of the troops had dropped by at least 30%. If there was no supplement, the next battle might not be easy to fight.

Doihira's eyes were red. He could bear the previous losses. This time, it would have caused him to get hurt and he even bleeded.

What he should have thought of long ago is that Leng Guoguang is best at making big fortunes with small things, and he also has the courage to cut off his arm, and dare to use such adventurous tactics to directly sacrifice a heavy artillery regiment in exchange for such a great loss.

His losses were so different from those of a dozen old cannons.

He is too cunning and too good at taking advantage of loopholes.

"Organize troops immediately, attack, and eliminate the Chinese in Juancheng!"

"Hayi!"

"Hey, old regiment commander, order the troops to withdraw from the Juancheng position immediately!" Leng Feng ordered people to answer the phone number from Xie Chengrui's command. He did not think that defending Juancheng would not be able to hold back the Japanese army, but instead gave Juancheng to the Japanese army, which would become their burden.

"Now, Guoguang, I can hold on for at least a while." Xie Chengrui didn't want to give up Juancheng now.

"No need, old regiment commander, we have just launched a sneak attack on the Japanese army. According to my estimate, their losses are quite large and they will definitely retaliate. Therefore, there is no need for us to fight against the Japanese army head-on at this time, so we should withdraw quickly." Leng Feng explained.

"Okay, I'll give an order right away!" Xie Chengrui thought for a moment. The 37th Brigade was indeed very casualties. If he fought hard like this, he would not be able to survive.

"Well, move quickly, be careful to be concealed." Leng Feng finished speaking and hung up the phone.

The orders for the evacuation of Juancheng were quickly issued to the regiments, and the troops began to withdraw from the positions in an orderly manner. About half an hour later, the Japanese army began to violently shell the Juancheng positions.

The county town, which had been blown up to the point of being damaged, once again turned into a sea of ​​fire under the ravages of Japanese artillery fire.

The Japanese army then launched a charge.

When they rushed to the top of the city, they found that the entire Juancheng County was empty, and it was just an empty ruin.

Sakai Takashi received a report from his subordinates and was so angry that he vomited old blood. He prepared many plans to teach these Chinese people a lesson. As a result, he punched them out and hit the cotton candy. He gently, without any effort, and he felt nothing. He felt nothing. He was suffocating to death.

Xie Chengrui's command was the last group to withdraw, and it was only ten minutes before the Japanese artillery fire was prepared. When he saw the Juancheng County Town, which was suddenly buried in the fire behind him, he felt a little scared!

If it weren't for Leng Feng's phone call, I'd probably be buried in this small county town this time.

"The deputy brigade station, the division headquarters telegram, let you go to Phoenix Town immediately." The communications consultant reported.

"I understand, I'll set off right away." Xie Chengrui nodded.

More than two hours later, Xie Chengrui led the command of the 37th Brigade to Fenghuang Town and met with the division headquarters led by Leng Feng. After meeting, the two felt a sigh.

"Guoguang, how to fight next, you have to make your decision. Not only is our military strength and equipment disparity between us and the Japanese army now. Now that the Japanese army has occupied Juancheng, the next step is to go south." Xie Chengrui said worriedly.

"Well, old regiment commander, you have faced the Japanese army directly these two days. What do you think of Dohihara's mechanized corps?"

"Fierce, this Doihara Division is not inferior to the 16th Division in Nanjing. Moreover, they have a higher degree of mechanization and faster propulsion. In the plains, unless we have the same equipment, it is difficult to match." Xie Chengrui said objectively.

"Yes, we are indeed inferior to the Japanese army. This must be faced with it. However, we are not without advantages. The Japanese army also has weaknesses. First of all, arrogant and complacent, which has always been the reason why arrogant soldiers will be defeated since ancient times. Secondly, the mechanized corps relies heavily on logistics. If it were not for the needs of Taierzhuang, the Japanese army must be retained, I really would not be willing to use the current tactics. There is another news to tell you that Chief Li has decided to launch a general attack on the Japanese army Seya Detachment and Sakamoto Detachment at 6 am tomorrow!"

"That's great. If you can eat such a large Japanese army at once, the situation will be completely reversed." Xie Chengrui showed a look of surprise.

"What can Chief Li fight like? The key is whether we can delay the time when the Doihara Division goes south." Leng Feng said solemnly.

"Of course, we are not fighting alone, there are other forces to help us." Leng Feng said. "I am considering a plan, which is very risky. Since the Japanese army is going to cut off our retreat, why don't we seize his retreat?"
