Chapter 563: Explosive Cannons
"Hurry, before the Japanese arrive, blow up all the cannons. You can't leave a screw for the Japanese!" Fang Xiaoyang gave the order to bomb the cannon.
"Staff Officer Fang, it's a pity that these artillery were blown up." Company Commander Lu felt very distressed. These field artillery could be equipped with a field artillery battalion, but now they have to blow it up. This is too much a loser.
"We are going to run away all the way. Can you run fast with these things?" Fang Xiaoyang scolded.
"But don't we have cars?"
"Car, let's pull these artillery, what should we do if the wounded soldiers of the Sichuan Army breaking through?" Fang Xiaoyang didn't think about pulling away these artillery. These are treasures that can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops.
But after weighing it, even if they pull it away now, they will still have to throw it away at that time, and it will even drag down the speed of the march.
If the final task fails due to greed, Fang Xiaoyang will not forgive himself no matter what.
At this time, he understood why Leng Feng emphasized that all commands should be put first.
Artillery are all things outside the body, and life is priceless, not to mention that they are still some veterans who have fought for the rest of their lives, and their value is far above these artillery.
"Give up, we will seize it from the Japanese in the future. This is not our last battle." Fang Xiaoyang ordered.
"Staff Officer Fang, we can control up to four field cannons. Why not take away the four cannons and blow up the rest?" Company Commander Lu was still reluctant to let it go.
Fang Xiaoyang thought about it and found that this was a compromise. Taking away all twelve field cannons would definitely drag down the marching, and they would not have been manipulated by them.
If you only take away four gates, you can increase the firepower of the breakout troops. Who knows what will happen along the way? With artillery support, at least you can have the power to fight.
"Okay, take away the four doors and all the others are blown up!"
"Yes!" Company Commander Lu was excited to run over to pass the order when he heard Fang Xiaoyang agreeing to his plan.
A few minutes later, together with the captured Japanese weapons, ammunition and radio equipment, all of them were shipped, and everyone took cars or rode horses to quickly evacuate Xiaofu Village!
After the violent explosion, the artillery position in Xiaofu Village instantly turned into a sea of fire. When the Japanese army rushed up, they saw the mess of the place, the wreckage of the artillery and a pile of Japanese corpses.
"What, the Chinese blew up all the artillery and ran away in their cars?" Major Fujita spat out a mouthful of old blood when he received this report.
"Cabinet, call the cavalry and chase me!"
"Hayi!"
Teng County West Gate.
Tang Xiaoying looked at her watch nervously. Half an hour was about to pass, and their mission was about to be completed and they were about to retreat. They just gave the Japanese army an illusion that they would attract the Japanese firepower, not really wanting to die here in battle.
The Japanese army was obviously angry. The artillery bombarded the Xiguan Station in a coverage manner. The number of artillery used was at least ten, and tanks were dispatched. At least five or six tanks launched a group charge at Xiguan Station.
Zhang Xuanwu and the others were almost suppressed and could not raise their heads.
Suddenly, the unusual artillery fire made Tang Xiaoying smell a trace of danger. The Japanese army changed their tactics. They must have noticed that Ximen's breakthrough was just bait. The traps they arranged were useless and ordered a strong attack!
"Notify Commander Zhang and retreat quickly!" Tang Xiaoying ordered the communications soldiers to say.
Although Tang Xiaoying's orders were not slow, Zhang Xuanwu and the Sichuan Army officers and soldiers at Xiguan Station were still attacked by the Japanese army's cruel artillery fire, with heavy casualties.
Even Zhang Xuanwu himself was hit by shrapnel, injured his arm and his head was broken.
The withdrawn officers and soldiers totaled less than twenty.
You know, there was a whole company with more than one hundred people before.
"Go away quickly, the Japanese army will soon be on fire to extend the fire!" At this time, there was no longer any living people behind. Tang Xiaoying and the team of less than 40 people left quickly retreated to the Xiguan Power Plant.
Less than thirty seconds after they left, a new round of Japanese artillery fire hit the place where they were just now.
If they were one step further, they would be wiped out.
It's really dangerous!
All those who escaped were sweating. This life was completely recovered. If Tang Xiaoying hadn't made a quick decision, she would have really died on the spot.
"Quick, enter the secret passage, we only have ten minutes!" Tang Xiaoying set a time for them to go from Xiguan Power Plant to Dongmen.
Ten minutes!
If they cannot pass through within ten minutes, their hope for survival will be very slim, and the Japanese army's reaction speed will never be slow.
When the last person entered the secret passage, Tang Xiaoying exploded the entrance with a cluster grenade.
He knew that as long as the Japanese army rushed in, they would soon discover the truth about the disappearance of the defenders in the city. However, in the middle of the night, in the city full of waste, it was really not easy to find the entrance to the underground secret passage.
Even so, with the powerful Japanese troops, they have the ability to seal the exit of the breakout passage in a short period of time. By that time, they may have to be trapped in the tunnel.
Therefore, they had to compete with the Japanese army for time because he was not sure how long the troops that were receiving the channel could last.
Ten minutes have passed the limit of this secret passage!
In the east of the city, there was a brick kiln factory. Although the Japanese army rushed out of the city caused Fang Xiaoyang to kill many of them by accident, the Japanese army in the city rushed out, and there were tens of thousands of Japanese troops around Teng County. When the gunshot sounded, it was impossible for them to not react, but the fastest one would take ten minutes.
What's more, soldiers are not ordinary people and cannot act without receiving orders. Even if they receive a request for rescue, they must ask for instructions before they can move.
Otherwise, if the situation is unclear and the enemy takes advantage of the loophole, then if you fail to save someone, you will suffer.
Therefore, there will be at least five or six minutes to ask for instructions and make decisions, plus gathering teams, etc., so it will take twenty minutes.
Also, it is that if someone can solve the problem, he will not ask you. Fujita Ichiro thought he could solve the problem, but when he found that he couldn't handle it at all, he was like Segaya inspiring the telegram asking for guidance.
And at this time, twenty minutes have passed.
"Quick, hurry up..."
"Let me down, let me down..." Zhou Tong was still carried out all the way.
"Who is this man? He is not injured. Why are he tied up with him? Could it be a Japanese prisoner?"
"No, it's the county magistrate of Teng County!"
"He is the county magistrate, why are you helping him?" Guo Xing looked confused.
"County Magistrate Zhou refused to evacuate and insisted on living and dying with Teng County. No one could understand. There was no way, so he could only tie him up and carry him to retreat."
"Is this county magistrate's mind so he just wants to die?"
"Scholars, this is a bit...
"I understand, I'm stupid in reading." Guo Xing smiled and said that he understood. It's really difficult for this scholar to understand, but what's strange is that such a person can also be the county magistrate?
"Wang Lin, let me go, I can leave myself. Please let them carry the wounded and don't waste your energy on me!" Zhou Tong would have jumped off the stretcher if he hadn't been tied up.
"You save your energy and respond to our troops that there is a car in front of you, and the Japanese seized, and the wounded will get on the car at that time!" Wang Lin limped.
"Just brag, where did the cars come from? The Japanese cars are so easy to seize." Zhou Tong hummed.
The battle at the brick kiln factory continued. Guo Xing took over the Sichuan Army's positions with two platoons and a machine gun squad, covering the retreat of the Sichuan Army guarding the city.
Fujita Ichiro's mouth was so anxious that he had blood blisters. The flares hit the sky as bright as daylight. He clearly saw the squadron guarding the city coming out of the brick kiln factory and heading east along the main road, but his troops were blocked tightly and could not pass!
I could only watch the opponent evacuated from Teng County without any damage.
"Damn it, where are the reinforcements? When will the reinforcements arrive?"
"It will take a few minutes. If we hadn't pulled out the West Gate of the troops this afternoon, we wouldn't have been short of troops now..." the subordinate underestimated.
"Bastard, in a few more minutes, they should be done withdrew!"
In fact, Seya Kiyo had led a squadron of chariots and a brigade of Japanese troops to come from the car by car, but this took time. The road in China is not like that in Japan, and under the destruction of the war, it is even more difficult to walk at night. This is also a reason why the Japanese army is not accustomed to night battles.
As long as the Chinese dig a hole on the main road, the entire Japanese army can paralyze on the road.
Bang!
The car suddenly stopped, and Setani Kei's forehead hit the front windshield. A big red envelope was so angry that he shook his hand and gave the Japanese soldier a big ear to the driving.
"Bastard, how did you drive?"
The Japanese soldier felt very wronged. It was not his fault. The car in front suddenly fell into a pit. If he didn't brake suddenly, wouldn't he have hit the car directly?
"Nani?" Setani Kei jumped out of the car and saw the front half of the truck loaded with soldiers in front fell into a deep pit. Obviously, someone dug a trap on the road.
"Who did this?"
"But, maybe it's the guerrillas, they often do this?" The soldier was frightened by Seya Kiri's hideous face.
"Bastard, here is so close to the camp of the Imperial Team, how could there be guerrillas running over to dig a hole?" Setani's face was full of blood.
“…”
"Captain, why do we dig holes and bury mines more easily?"
"Can the guerrillas have rare objects like landmines?" the captain cursed.
"hey-hey……"
"Let's go, our mission is to delay the Japanese reinforcements. Don't forget, what is our mission?" the captain said very seriously.
"Get out of the car, get out of the car, run forward..." Setani Kei gritted his teeth. God knew if there was such a big pit ahead. This car is not a tank, and it is not something that can be used on any terrain. Now he can only ride a bicycle and run forward.
However, the tank could carry some infantry to advance quickly, and he also got into a stuffy chariot, putting aside the infantry brigade and quickly advanced forward.
