Chapter 235 What is the purpose?
The Japanese squad leader rushed to the top of the artillery tower and stretched his neck to look into the distance ahead.
Suddenly, a violent fire exploded from the artillery tower in front.
The entire artillery tower was blown up, and he was so scared that cold sweat broke out on his back.
Then, ten tank headlights appeared in the distance, followed by car headlights.
Sweat gushed out from his forehead like a fountain.
"Damn it! Ten tanks and so many cars. The Black Wolf Army is about to launch a massive attack! Retreat quickly! Retreat quickly!"
He ran downstairs shouting loudly.
Because he knew better than anyone that although the turret was strong, it could not withstand the bombardment of tank armor-piercing shells.
What's more, he only had a squad of Japanese troops and a platoon of puppet troops.
The Black Wolf Army has so many people and so many tanks. Even if they stay here, they will only become cannon fodder and will be of no use at all.
The Japanese and puppet troops in the entire artillery tower quickly rushed out of the artillery tower and retreated towards the county town.
When the other artillery towers on the road saw that they had retreated, they dared not stay and followed them to retreat to the county town without caring about their lives.
However, Yuan Shuai led his men to clean up the artillery towers one by one.
First take out all the weapons, ammunition and food from the blockhouse, then install the explosives and blow up the blockhouse.
What the brothers couldn't understand was why the Japanese ran away without fighting.
By around two o'clock in the morning, the Black Wolf Army easily captured five artillery towers.
A large amount of weapons, equipment and food were seized.
"Boss, the carriage is almost full!"
"If we add another turret, we really won't be able to fit any more!"
"How about we ask Ouyang Tianqing to send us a carriage?!"
The monkey and the fat man looked at Yuan Shuai happily.
They were eager to follow Yuan Shuai and charge into the county town in one breath.
But these seized weapons, ammunition and food must be sent away!
"How many more turrets are there ahead?"
Yuan Shuai held the cigarette in his mouth and exhaled a long puff of smoke.
"There should be two more artillery towers, but they are too close to the county town. I guess the Japanese will send out troops!"
Jiang Zhengwu quickly reminded him.
"Then, let's retreat. Let the devils jump around for a few more days. Retreat!"
Yuan Shuai turned around and walked towards the tank.
"Really retreat?!"
Monkey and Fatty looked at Yuan Shuai with confusion on their faces.
"What else do you want if you don't retreat? Are we really going to attack the county? How can we attack the county with so few people? Go back to sleep!"
After saying that, Yuan Shuai got on the tank directly...
In Qiu Ning County far ahead, the Japanese brigade commander Miyamoto Aoyama was so anxious that he gritted his teeth and cursed in his office.
Because he knew very well that Yuan Shuai not only had tanks, but also field artillery.
These were his things before.
He has no tanks or field artillery now. Once the city is bombarded by tanks and field artillery, it will be attacked.
I'm afraid that he really can't handle so few people.
"Have the reinforcements arrived?"
After a long time, he stopped and shouted to the signalman.
"Reinforcements are on the way, it will probably take another three hours!"
"Bakayalu, tell them to speed up!"
"Report, there's a call from the turret ahead, saying the Black Wolf Army has retreated!"
“Retreat?!”
The brigade commander couldn't believe his ears.
"Yes, they did retreat. I saw it with my own eyes from the turret ahead!"
"call!"
The brigade commander patted his chest and let out a long breath, then wiped the cold sweat from his forehead again and again.
Because the Blood Wolf Army should be less than five kilometers away from them.
Moreover, the soldiers in the artillery towers kept retreating along the way and did not resist at all.
Moreover, the Black Wolf Army, driving tanks and vehicles, would be able to reach the outside of the county town and bomb the county in just over an hour.
But unexpectedly, Yuan Shuai actually withdrew.
This made him scratch his head for a long time, unable to figure out what the Black Wolf Army was trying to do.
Since you've come all the way, why withdraw halfway?
What a joke!
However, General Yuan did not retreat to Linnan County, but advanced directly towards Tianmu Mountain.
He really wanted to take over Qiu Ning County, so he went straight to Fengling County and found the equipment left behind by the machinery factory.
But even if he took Qiu Ning County, who would guard it?
With so few men, he can't allocate any military force.
So, he still needs manpower.
In Tianmu Mountain, there were still national troops resisting the devils, buying time for the evacuation of the main force.
These national troops are his target.
Not only that, he could also gain a good reputation, that is, supporting Tianmu Mountain and buying time for the retreating national army.
The team marched all night and stopped at dawn.
In order to avoid being discovered by the Japanese, no one dared to make a fire.
In order to save effort, Yuan Shuai did not ask anyone to dig a smokeless stove.
After arranging the sentries and setting up the defenses, the brothers took the time to eat canned food and sleep.
The next morning, the brothers were still sleeping when they were awakened by the sound of intense artillery fire.
"Boss, our Gui army is fighting the devils ahead!"
Yuan Shuai had just woken up when Lv Hua from the Gui Army's Wolf Corps ran over with an anxious look on his face.
"Boss, they are all our Gui army brothers, we must support them!"
"Brothers from the Gui army?! We must provide support! Notify the artillery immediately..."
"The artillery is ready, waiting for your order!"
Jiang Yangde raised his head and chest proudly.
"Then why are you still standing here watching the show? Fire your cannons, blow that son of a bitch up to pieces!"
"Yes!"
Jiang Yangde quickly ran back to his artillery position.
It turned out that when he heard the sound of artillery fire, he had already ordered his men to unload the field artillery from the back of the tank. After contacting the artillery observer on the hillside, he had prepared the artillery shells and adjusted the direction, and was just waiting for General Yuan to give the order.
In the distance, it was the 176th Regiment of the 527th Division of the Gui Army that was responsible for intercepting the Japanese.
But the Japanese artillery fire was too fierce.
In addition to mountain artillery, there are also tanks.
The Gui army suffered heavy casualties at once.
"Fuck it, hold on, hold on. Even if there's only one person left, I won't let any Japanese pass!"
Acting group leader Ou Dingyang growled while gritting his teeth.
"Captain, we're running out of bullets!"
"We don't have many bullets left!"
"Prepare the suicide squad, first destroy the enemy tanks! Then fight hand-to-hand! Let the enemy know how powerful our Gui army's wolf soldiers are!"
"Ju yi..."
As soon as he finished speaking, artillery shells whizzed towards their position.
"Get down, it's a 75mm field gun!"
"Damn it, there are devils coming over there too, get down, everyone get down!"
Several men shouted anxiously.
However, Ou Dingyang looked at these shells with astonishment.
Because he heard that these shells were not aimed at their positions, but were flying towards the Japanese soldiers who were charging in front.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
Continuous artillery shells exploded among the Japanese troops.
The Japanese soldiers next to and behind the tanks fell to the ground one after another.
The angry devils cursed loudly.
"Bagayalo, it's our 75mm field gun!"
"Why are our 75mm field guns bombarding us?"
Before he could finish cursing, the second round of field artillery shells whistled in.
"Bakayaloo, retreat, retreat, retreat!"
The Japanese infantrymen didn't want to die here, so they turned around and ran away.
Even the Japanese tank driver was frightened and roared loudly.
"Turn around and retreat quickly. It must be the Nationalist Army's artillery brigade coming. Retreat quickly, retreat quickly!"
