Chapter 178: Things over life
A series of shells exploded not far behind him, and a shrapnel hit his back, causing him to fall to the ground.
"Bakayalu, I'm injured! Medic, medic!"
The wing commander lay there wailing in agony.
A medic rushed over and, together with another soldier, carried him on their backs and ran.
Watching the Japanese retreat, all the brothers of the 63rd Division breathed a sigh of relief.
"Damn it, we finally beat the Japanese back!"
"Artillery is still the best!"
"I didn't expect the Black Wolf Army's artillery technology to be so advanced! They directly blew up the Japanese regiment headquarters!"
"Otherwise, I don't know how long this battle will last!"
The teacher had no time to be happy.
Because he knew very well that the Japs would definitely attack again.
He quickly ordered the team to evacuate the casualties first, and the remaining people counted the weapons and ammunition and prepared to retreat.
After all, although the Japs had retreated, they had not completely disappeared from their sight.
At this time, the Black Wolf Army had not retreated yet. Once they all evacuated at this time, the Japanese would turn back and block the Black Wolf Army's retreat route.
Once these people hold back the Black Wolf Army, they will wait for the Japanese reinforcements to arrive, or for the Japanese planes to arrive.
By then, the Black Wolf Army and Zhang Wei's regiment would surely be killed.
The people arranged by Zhang Wei have rushed to the Black Wolf Army’s artillery position.
"General Yuan, our leader wants you to retreat quickly, retreat now!"
"Collect the spoils and prepare to evacuate!"
Yuan Shuai yelled at the top of his lungs.
"Bring the mules and horses over to tow the mountain cannons, and put the shell boxes on the mules and horses..."
The brothers quickly split up and took action.
Some were collecting the spoils from the dead bodies of the devils; some were carrying boxes of ammunition on the backs of mules and horses.
"I...you guys are risking your lives. The Japanese will surely come to support us soon. You still have the mood to collect the spoils? Stop it and retreat quickly, big brother! I beg you, okay?"
The signalman Xiao Kai was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He even started to bow and was almost kneeling down to Yuan Shuai.
"Don't worry, I have arranged sentries in the back with radios. If any Japanese get within 75 meters, they will notify us immediately. Our Black Wolf Army is not like your Central Army, which has people to supply us. This battle consumed a lot of ammunition. Without ammunition, how can we fight the Japanese in the future! Besides, this is the Japanese Type mountain cannon with more than a hundred shells. Where can I find so many cannons and so many shells! Hurry up, two mules and horses tow a mountain cannon, and the installed cannons should be withdrawn first! Quick, quick, quick!"
Yuan Shuai ignored Xiao Kai and quickly gave orders to the team.
Xiao Kai was so angry that he had no choice but to help them, hoping that one more person would give them more strength and allow the team to evacuate quickly.
However, he complained unhappily while helping to load the shell boxes.
"Your boss is just a money-grubber. For the sake of weapons and ammunition, he doesn't care about your life or death at all!"
"Hahaha, little brat, you are wrong. This is the Japanese 75mm mountain cannon. If it weren't for these cannons, how could we have won this battle?"
"Four gates and 75 hillsides, can you give them to us?"
"We still have over a hundred mules and horses. Wouldn't it be good to help transport the weapons and ammunition?"
"Also, if we run out of meat in the future, we'll just kill a mule or a horse. I'm telling you, don't come to our place to eat for free!"
"I don't want to eat for free..."
Xiaokai regretted it as soon as he finished speaking.
After all, their food wasn't very good. If they really had to kill a mule or a horse and stew them in a large marching pot...
He looked at the mules and horses in front of him and his saliva started to water.
Soon, the sentry stationed on the top of the mountain discovered that the Japanese soldiers were about 3,000 meters away, and quickly contacted General Yuan by radio.
"Damn it, they're here so soon, everyone, retreat quickly, retreat quickly, don't pick up anything, retreat quickly!"
Yuan Shuai did not dare to waste time and quickly called on his brothers to evacuate.
The fat man carried Little Sweet Potato directly onto the mule.
"I don't want to be a mule or a horse. I can walk. Let me go..."
The little sweet potato struggled to get down.
Yuan Shuai shouted loudly from a distance.
"Shut up. I told you to sit down, so you sit down. Why are you trying so hard to show off? This is an order. The fat man's order is also my order. Obey the order!"
The little sweet potato stopped struggling.
Yuan Shuai shouted at the wounded soldiers.
"Don't leave, all of you. Hurry up and get on the mules and horses and take a rest!"
"No need, Boss, we can go, let's use the mules and horses to transport the weapons and ammunition!"
"Yes, we can still walk, no need to ride on mules or horses!"
Several wounded soldiers quickly refused.
"Oh, it's only been a few days and you don't obey my orders? Do you want to rebel? Get on the horse!"
"Yes, hurry up!"
"Hurry up, don't waste time!"
The brothers nearby quickly helped the wounded onto mules and horses.
On the other side, almost all the brothers of the 63rd Division cursed when they saw it.
"Damn it, these bastards of the Black Wolf Army are still collecting spoils at this hour, and they even took the Japanese mountain artillery and ran away!"
"If these guys want to die, don't drag us down with you. All the brothers in the division are waiting for them. If the planes come, who knows how many brothers will die!"
"Commander, we have more people and a bigger target, so why don't we withdraw some of them first? The devils on the right wing have already retreated far away anyway!"
The teacher could only complain helplessly.
"Damn it, General Yuan, what on earth is this guy thinking? The whole army is retreating now, but this guy wants to... leave one battalion behind to support, and let the others retreat first!"
The division commander had already received news of the mass evacuation and he did not dare to delay.
Because once we retreat, there will be no reinforcements.
He only has more than 3,000 people left now. If he is targeted by the Japanese again, he can only fight to the death.
The brothers of the Black Wolf Army were extremely happy.
The group of people retreated while laughing happily.
There is an ammunition squad here in the Japanese army camp.
The squadron's spare ammunition is all here.
And they are all packed in boxes.
Although the Japanese consumed the ammunition of the ammunition squad during the war, these ammunition squads still have many ammunition boxes.
There were 75 boxes of 30mm cannon shells alone, 5 boxes of Type 10 rounds, and boxes of grenades. Some of the other boxes had not yet been opened and were all placed on the backs of mules and horses.
A Japanese mountain artillery squadron had more than 130 mules and horses, plus the mules and horses of the ammunition squad. Excluding those that were accidentally killed or scared away, they seized a total of 150 mules and horses.
In addition to 8 mules and horses pulling mountain cannons, there were more than a dozen mules and horses carrying the wounded.
Other mules and horses were hauling boxes of ammunition, weapons, and full sacks.
Some of these pockets contained canned food, rice, and even fodder for mules and horses obtained from the Japanese and the cooks.
The team returned with a full load, and everyone had a smile on their face as bright as the sun.
When the team arrived at Zhang Wei's place.
Zhang Wei was previously cursing at these bastards for wanting things over their lives.
But when he saw so many mountain cannons, so many mules and horses, and the boxes and pockets on the backs of the mules and horses, his eyes turned green.
