Chapter 629 Why Not Retreat Earlier
He saw that the Kuomintang soldiers under the tree did not look up at him, but looked ahead nervously.
The mountain cat said in a low voice.
"Perhaps, we will be encircled by the Japanese!"
Little Sweet Potato's body shook suddenly and he almost fell down.
Suddenly, the sound of a booby trap exploding was heard not far ahead.
Everyone was suddenly stunned.
"Damn it, the boss was right, the Japanese are really here!"
"How many devils are coming!"
The people under the tree quickly looked up at the wild cat and the little sweet potato on the tree.
The signalman quickly turned on the radio, and a soldier quickly used a hand-cranked generator to power the radio.
Although the radio station still had batteries and some power, they didn't know how long the batteries could last. When it was possible to use a hand-crank generator, they tried to use it as much as possible to avoid the situation where the batteries ran out and there was no one to use the hand-crank generator to power the radio station during the war because of a shortage of manpower.
"Damn, it's all pitch black!"
Sweet Potato and Wild Cat quickly climbed to the highest point of the tree and saw the puppet troops in the woods in the distance and the Japanese devils in the woods behind them. They couldn't help swallowing several times.
"At least a regiment of puppet troops and a regiment of Japanese soldiers!"
"There are probably more devils behind us, or maybe even more people. Notify the boss! Move quickly to the left wing!"
Shanwa and Fatty quickly got down from the tree, ran forward for a while, then moved to the right wing, while clearing away any traces of their running.
In front, Yuan Shuai led his men to explore the way.
In the middle is the main force.
However, the Kuomintang soldiers were muttering unhappily as they walked along.
"I really don't understand what the boss was thinking. He should have thought about retreating south a long time ago! Why did he have to wait until now to retreat?"
"If we had retreated earlier, we would have retreated far away!"
"If the devils chase us, we might be caught up by them!"...
Wang Shuncheng shouted loudly.
"What are you yelling about? Do you think the boss doesn't want to retreat earlier? Didn't you see the British troops behind us? If we had retreated south at that time, would those British troops have retreated with us?"
"They were only thinking about finding their base camp at the time, so they definitely wouldn't have followed us in retreating. We had so many heavy weapons, and without them, we wouldn't have been able to take them all away!"
"That's why the boss delayed the retreat until now, when they realized they couldn't just go back, so they had no choice but to follow us! This way, our heavy weapons will retreat with us!"
"Now that we are carrying so many heavy weapons, even if we encounter the devil in front of us, the devil's soldiers chasing us from behind, and planes in the sky, we can guarantee that we will be invincible!"
Wang Shuncheng's words made everyone understand why General Yuan did not retreat to the south at that time.
Suddenly, there was a faint sound of explosion from behind, followed by a message from the communications soldier over the radio.
Wang Shuncheng gritted his teeth and cursed.
"Shit, they're really coming! Everyone speed up."
After shouting, Wang Shuncheng quickly ran forward, wanting to find Yuan Shuai.
The cantaloupe behind him also quickly ran towards him.
Yuan Shuai also has a radio here. Upon hearing the explosion, the signalman immediately turned on the radio.
After receiving the news, Yuan Shuai quickly ran to the back, shouting loudly.
"Leave two 75mm field guns behind, and let Dacai, Yidao and the others continue forward!"
Hu Dacai and Fu Yidao originally wanted to follow Yuan Shuai, but they understood that Yuan Shuai needed him to explore the way ahead. They could only pat Tie Xiaogang on the shoulder, signaling Tie Xiaogang to protect the boss, and then continue to move forward with their men.
Wang Shunben originally wanted to ask what to do, but after hearing the order, he quickly shouted at the team to speed up.
Here at Hami melon, two 75mm field guns were quickly left behind for quick assembly.
But, Hami melon asked doubtfully.
"General Yuan, how many devils are coming from behind?"
He couldn't understand Chinese, so he didn't understand the message even if he received it.
“I don’t know exactly, but it must be a lot!”
Yuan Shuai did not give the exact number.
Although the signalman at the back only reported a regiment of puppet troops and a regiment of infantry, there were still Japanese soldiers behind them.
But even so, he still did not mention the puppet army of this regiment and the infantry of this regiment.
Because he was worried that once the British soldiers heard that so many people were coming, they would be so scared that no one would dare to stay.
Then he had a few other people following him to fight the Japanese.
"Should we leave a few more field artillery?"
Hami melon followed up with a question.
"No, two should be enough. Leave two boxes of incendiary bombs! One grenade test is enough!"
"Okay! Jesse, hurry up and assemble the 75mm field gun. There aren't many Japanese here. Leave two boxes of incendiary bombs and one grenade will be enough!"
When Hamigua heard that only two field guns, two boxes of incendiary bombs and one grenade were needed to be left behind, he felt that the number of the Japanese and puppet troops coming this time would definitely not be large.
These words seemed to reassure all the British soldiers, and the tension on their faces quickly disappeared.
General Yuan was secretly glad that he did not reveal the number of people, otherwise, these British soldiers would probably tremble even when installing the artillery.
He quickly found a relatively empty place and placed the two cannons at these two places.
At this time, Sweet Potato and Bobcat had moved to the hillside not far from the right wing.
Seeing the puppet troops passing by, the Japanese army regiment behind them, and the devil's artillery following in the distance, Digua, Shanmao and others broke out in cold sweats.
"Damn, 12 75mm field guns!"
"There are 12 more 105mm howitzers!"
"There are 6 more anti-aircraft guns!"
"Damn it, the Japs really spent a lot of money this time!"
"Brother Mao, Brother Gua, let the boss retreat quickly, there are too many Japanese artillery!"
"Not only do they have 75mm field guns, but they also have 105mm howitzers. We can't defeat them at all!"
The soldiers around him were so anxious that they were sweating coldly.
The mountain cat said to the sweet potato.
"You watch from up there, I'll go contact the boss!"
After saying that, he quickly jumped off the big tree!
He picked up the radio and called.
"Xiao Sichuan, Xiao Sichuan, I'm Shanmao, let the boss answer the phone!"
The person carrying the radio was none other than Xiao Sichuan.
This guy thought the radio was fun, so he asked Tie Xiaogang to teach him how to play it.
Tie Xiaogang also liked Xiao Sichuan very much, so he taught him for a few days.
Now Xiao Sichuan has become their communications soldier.
Xiao Sichuan quickly handed the radio phone to Yuan Shuai.
"Boss, the situation is not good. There are really Japanese behind us. There are 12 75mm field guns, 12 105mm howitzers, and 6 anti-aircraft guns!"
"Damn it, you really gave me some face! Pay attention to our direction and find our location!"
The bobcat quickly called out softly to the little sweet potato on the tree, and then made a few gestures.
Little Sweet Potato quickly stood on the tree and used a telescope to scan the treetops in the direction of retreat.
Tie Xiaogang stood on a distant tree, holding a broken branch in his hand, stretching out the dense branches, shaking and waving it vigorously.
This is their secret code.
After all, the Japanese puppet troops might also use telescopes to observe.
They couldn't use anything too obvious as a mark, lest they be discovered by the Japanese and puppet troops.
The branch kept drawing circles in the air, and the little sweet potato soon found its location.
"I see!"
Digua put down the telescope and turned back to gesture to the bobcat under the tree.
