After all, the enemy is on the ground, and no matter how heavy the casualties are, they can always rush to the position and fight the enemy.
However, now the enemy is in the sky, constantly raining down aerial bombs, napalm bombs, and heavy machine gun bullets on them. This makes them want to fight back. They don't know what to do and can only use their hands angrily. rifle shooting against the blue sky.
Seeing the Japanese army retreating steadily, Xiangzu Yoshijiro also sighed secretly.
The anti-aircraft artillery unit he prepared did indeed play some role.
At least, they succeeded in knocking down two or three enemy bombers, so it cannot be said that they gained nothing.
However, the price they paid was also very heavy.
Taking a deep breath, he said: "It seems that we were a little too impatient before. This enemy is not so easy to defeat.
What we faced was not only the defensive strength of less than a thousand men on the opposite side, but also the powerful air power of the Fourth Army and ground artillery support. "
When Meijiro Xiangzu said this, it was more like he was comforting himself, and also like he was comforting Guderian next to him.
He could see that the failure of this attack made Guderian's originally calm face look more anxious and panicked.
"Obviously, the strength of the Fourth Army's air force and the desperate counterattack of the Fourth Army's soldiers greatly exceeded his expectations.
For Guderian, as long as what happens on the battlefield is within his expectations, he can always remain calm.
However, once something begins to go beyond his understanding, it will be difficult for him to continue to be calm.
This shows that his war preparations are not sufficient, and he does not fully understand his opponents.
Thinking of this, Guderian said: "It seems that I still despise them a little. Perhaps, I should re-examine the enemy in front of me with the same eyes as the Soviet army."
Having said this, he smiled and shook his head, and then said: "However, from their last countercharge, I roughly saw that they had about two hundred people on the frontal position.
Compared with their previous defensive strength, the enemy on the position at this time has suffered more than half casualties.
This is good news. You have to know that in defensive operations, when the battle loss rate reaches 50%, an army is on the verge of collapse. "
When he said this, his eyes once again showed great confidence.
"So, in the next attack, our armored troops will kill all the enemies on that position, leaving them with no bones left and turned into flesh. Then they will be crushed by the tracks of the tanks and the thick armored vehicles. Tires rolled over.¡±
Guderian said, with anger already in his eyes.
Wu Anyu led his soldiers back to their position from the hillside.
At this time, their trenches were already filled with corpses.
Wu Anyu had no time to care about this. He asked the soldiers to gather, and then began to count all the soldiers who could fight in the tunnel.
After an inventory, more than half of their casualties were counted. The number of soldiers who could still fight at this time, including the lightly wounded, was about 400.
With that wave of counterattack just now, they were actually at the end of their efforts.
It was just because of the surprise that the Japanese army was caught off guard and the Japanese army was successfully forced back.
In fact, if you look closely at the Japanese army at that time, you will find that the number of soldiers of the Fourth Army who came down was very different from them.
The number of soldiers of the Fourth Army who charged at that time, even including the commander Wu Anyu, was only more than 220.
And these two hundred and twenty people were stunned and beat up the nearly 500 Japanese soldiers who were still in front of the position at the time.
"However, if there is another counterattack like this, they will probably be wiped out.
Thinking of this, Wu Anyu lowered his head, and then used his sleeve to wipe off the blood on the surface of the watch. He saw that the hour hand on it had gradually indicated twelve o'clock at noon.
"It's almost time, gather all the team members, we have to prepare for a breakout."
Wu Anyu said breathlessly.
He is now covered in blood, and like the other soldiers, they all look like they were fished out of bloody water.
"However, the third company commander said: "Batalion Commander, I'm afraid it can't be done. The little devil is behind our butts, but?A brigade of troops is staring at us.
I think as soon as we break through, the little devils will definitely beat us to death. "
After hearing what he said, the other soldiers seemed to realize how bad the situation was at this time.
However, it seems that they have already put life and death aside.
A soldier shouted: "Don't be afraid, just die! My brother died under the city wall of Shanhaiguan. If I die in Shanhaiguan today, in a thousand years, I will still be able to guard here and prevent the little Japs from entering the pass!" !¡±
Hearing this, the other soldiers also raised their arms and shouted.
"I swear to live and die with the position!!!"
Seeing the soldiers under his command, all of them looked at death as if they were home, and their fighting spirit was high. For a moment, Wu Anyu felt that his eyes seemed to be a little moist.
His nose felt sore, he held back his tears and said: "Brothers, this is the master's order, we must retreat.
The vehicle we prepared to use for our retreat has been destroyed by the Japs.
"However, I have contacted the division headquarters, and the division headquarters said that they will dispatch fifty fighters and bombers to us to carry out indiscriminate bombing of the area where the Japanese brigade is located in the rear before we launch the charge.
Not only the air force, but also the artillery force will also provide us with fire support.
By then, we will have more than just a few hundred people fighting.
Above our heads are the brothers of the Air Force Division, and in front of us are the brothers of the Howitzer Regiment. They are all fighting side by side with us! !
So, everyone, believe me, we will definitely be able to get out! "
After saying this, the soldiers were silent, and some soldiers even shed tears.
At this time, Wu Anyu looked at the corpses of soldiers piled up in their tunnel, and then said: "As for these brothers who died, when we come back, we will erect a stone monument on this mountain!"
"good!!"
The third company commander said, "II will take my men with me when the time comes to avenge the dead brothers. I will chop off the heads of the naughty little devils and give them as sacrifices!!"
As he said this, tears already overflowed from his eyes.
"Okay, get ready to break out! It's now 11:40, and at 12 o'clock, our artillery and air force support will arrive. At that time, brothers, follow me closely, let's fight our way out!!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
