Chapter 266 Retreat
It’s still a trick or a conspiracy. The so-called head-on confrontation is just a superficial phenomenon. It’s because I’m too expecting it, so I believe it. Textbook-style regular attacks are hit by the enemy’s despicable and shameless attacks and traps that have been planned for a long time.
Oshima looked at the unfathomable enemy position ahead and suddenly woke up. From beginning to end, he was confused by the illusion of frontal combat and foolishly fell into the enemy's trap again and again. While awakening, Oshima also lost the courage to fight to the death and continue to fight. He didn't know what strange tricks his opponent had, and he didn't want to try it with his last power.
The sound of gunfire and explosions in the distance made Oshima finally make up his mind that an enemy had already gone behind him and should be attacking the troops guarding the supplies. Since he did not want to make unnecessary sacrifices, it would be meaningless to stay here again, and retreating was the only and correct choice.
The enemy on the opposite side seemed to have no intention of pursuing the victory, and just watched quietly. After Oshima issued the order to retreat, he stood there with a pale face. After a while, he sighed heavily.
This retreat was not just about returning to Shili Village. With the current military strength, it was obviously not a wise decision to defend Shili Village, which has become an isolated stronghold. The weapons that the enemy had suspected of "large-caliber heavy artillery" had already made Dadao lose the confidence to continue to entangle in this area. Retreat, withdraw from Shili Village; retreat, retreat past Xiaolouzhuang; retreat, surrender this area.

"The enemy is going to run away!" Meng Youtian handed the telescope to Qin Lianfang and let out a sigh of relief.
If there is a regular army, even if there is only one company, it will be no big problem to wipe out the tired and fearful enemy. But if local troops complete this task, it may be a tragic victory of "killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred themselves".
Therefore, Meng Youtian firmly opposed the deployment of troops that surrounded and annihilate. There were more than 300 people holding on the position, which was more than the enemy who attacked, and only fifty or sixty people stayed behind the enemy to wait for an opportunity to harass him. In Meng Youtian's ultimate goal of repelling the enemy, this is the safest plan. As long as the position is not lost, the enemy can be eliminated in large quantities in the tug-of-war.
The enemy did not have any terrible charge or other actions, but instead chose to retreat when there was a certain combat force. This disappointed Meng Youtian. However, this enemy would not be relaxed when retreating. Landmines, cold guns, and traps would make them lose their skin.
"It's a pity that they were let go." Qin Lianfang held up the telescope and expressed her mentality that was different from Meng Youtian. Judging from her tone, she was deeply pity.
"Just run away!" Meng Youtian smiled comfortably and said, "We should not think about becoming fat in one bite. Based on the current information, the enemy wants to draw enough mobile troops. I am afraid it will take some time. We finally have a base. Isn't this a pleasure?"
Qin Lianfang put down the telescope and looked at Meng Youtian thoughtfully. It was not until Meng Youtian squeezed his eyes mischievously that he smiled, "It doesn't take too much time, one month will be enough for us to mobilize the masses and build the base area into a solid wall."
Is a wall of iron? This is a common word in publicity. Meng Youtian smiled, lowered his head, and gently stroked his injured arm. He was almost done with great things, and he suddenly missed home, missed his mother, his wife, and his children.
Qin Lianfang seemed to guess what Meng Youtian was thinking, pursed her lips, turned her head to observe the battlefield with a telescope, but she bit her lips gently from time to time, making her heart not calm.

The enemy suffered serious casualties and suffered a lot of mules and horses. In order to ensure that they did not drag down the combatants, they could not take all the wounded. Of course, the corpses of the Japanese must be taken with them, while the wounded in the Imperial Army who could not act on their own were given up.
If it weren't for the greater dissatisfaction of the Imperial Army, Oshima would have ordered these burdens to be killed on the spot. He had let the seriously injured soldiers of the Imperial Army lie down and wait for death, and the slightly injured people crawled around the ground with a whine. He had already felt compassionate and soft-hearted.
Although there is no plan to completely wipe out the enemy, the troops on the position have just retreated, and the troops on the position have divided up some of them to follow. Yes, it is to follow, not to chase after them. As long as the enemy is always on guard and to support them in the front and back when retreating, it is enough.
Oshima did not know the opponent's concerns and plans. Retreatment before the enemy has always been a very difficult thing for commanders and troops. If it were not done, the morale of the army would be scattered and defeated by the enemy. Therefore, he sent a powerful forward and left a powerful defender, and did not dare to retreat too quickly.
The troops are too small, so it's too short! Oshima is glad that he still has the last bit of rationality and can withdraw his troops in time. If he attacks the enemy's position again, even if the entire army is not wiped out, the remaining personnel will probably be unable to escape from the enemy's front and back. Now the enemy dares not force them too much, obviously he is still afraid, or wants to seek a better opportunity!
After slowly retreating not far away, Oshima frowned. He found that even if the enemy did not take Jiliè's actions, retreating was not easy.
The charred crater was still smoking, a bloody corpse lying beside it, and another soldier injured by the bomb screamed and wailed, making the people around him look ugly.
The enemy used this despicable and shameless act, and Oshima was angry but had no choice but to do anything. Landmines, a simple and easy-to-made weapon for poor people, were used extremely skillfully by the enemy. Although most landmines are not very powerful, they have become a nightmare for soldiers operating in bandit areas.
Oshima had to divide the retreating team into two rows and continue to move around several meters apart, but it would not slow down too much. This was the best way he could think of. Minesweeping had to rely on the observation ability of the vanguard. If he used the equipment, the team's progress would only turn into a turtle climb.
After walking for a while, the attack suddenly came again. With a muffled sound, five or six black things flew out of the field more than a hundred meters away and smashed towards the enemy on the avenue.
