chapter eight
"Let the 101st and 102nd regiments hold me back. I must not let the Gui army break through the defense line. The last fight will be today."
"Comrades, as long as we persist for four hours, we can break through and cross the river. Hold on!"
Mr. Chen yelled, raising his hand to look at his watch from time to time.
After receiving the telegram yesterday, he calculated that all the main troops would be able to cross the river at about ten o'clock this morning, and they would be able to retreat by then.
"Regiment...Commander, the 100th Regiment found traces of Gui Jun behind the scenes."
Mr. Chen clenched his fists, all this was expected by him.
The time when the Gui army received the news was not much different from the time they received the news. The overnight march was almost over now.
Grandma's, even if she wants to eat us, she won't be afraid of breaking her teeth.
"Teacher, Commander."
Yang Dingguo's voice suddenly reached his ears. Teacher Chen followed the sound and saw Yang Dingguo running over quickly.
"Why did your kid come back? What did you find again?"
"Division Commander, I found a batch of Hansi equipment, 80 submachine guns, a large amount of bullets, and 20 boxes of landmines."
Hans country equipment?
Commander Chen was not surprised that Hans Nation equipment would appear here. After all, Baldhead had Hans Nation equipment.
"Tell me, what do you think?"
Just discovering a batch of equipment would not make this kid so excited.
Afterwards, Yang Dingguo expressed his thoughts.
Mr. Chen nodded. This method seemed good to him.
Such a large amount of automatic firepower can work wonders if used properly.
"Okay, I'll find someone to cooperate with you. If you have any requests, just put them forward and I'll do my best to satisfy you."
After observing these days, Mr. Chen also noticed Yang Dingguo's performance.
He is capable, smart, calm in times of crisis, and most importantly, he is lucky. If he goes out and walks around, he can find supplies left behind by the enemy. He is simply a blessed general.
With the full support of Commander Chen, 80 strong soldiers were assembled in only about ten minutes.
Yang Dingguo took them to the place where the weapons were stored and started teaching.
The main thing is to experience the MP40's rate of fire and teach them how to shoot long bursts and short bursts. It's not difficult and they can get started easily.
Then he led them to press bullets into the magazine.
Yang Dingguo only took out 200 rounds of ammunition for each person. After filling all five magazines, he put the remaining 40 rounds into his own bullet belt.
In addition, each person must carry two M24 wooden handle grenades with him.
Next, it’s time to wait for the retreat.
The time came to half past nine in the morning.
They received a retreat order from Zhongge.
The entire 34th Division had already been prepared to retreat, so they took action as soon as they received the order.
Because all the wounded had been evacuated in advance as early as last night.
Do not abandon, do not give up!
Before the retreat, the 101st Regiment located on the main street battlefield opened up all its firepower, suppressing the Gui army without even daring to raise its head. It took ten minutes before the retreat began, led by the commando team.
During this period, soldiers from a company of the 102nd Regiment began to bury "S-shaped mines" after being taught by Yang Dingguo.
The fuse of the "S-type mine" will only be triggered when it receives a force of more than 7kg. Therefore, novices can bury it after simple teaching. They just need to be careful when burying it.
"Comrades, be careful. You can lay fewer landmines. Our safety must be guaranteed."
The Gui army was almost frightened by them. In Yang Dingguo's view, it only took a few dozen landmines to scare them away from advancing. However, to be on the safe side, he decided to plant more mines.
After laying about 100 landmines, the 34th Division officially began to retreat.
After Yang Dingguo just demonstrated how to bury landmines, he led an 80-man commando team towards the location of the 100th Regiment. With the obstruction of the minefield, he believed that the Gui army would not catch up so quickly.
What he needs to do now is to lead the commando team and the sniper squad to open a path in front of the army, and try his best to avoid direct conflicts with the enemy's large forces, so as to reduce casualties.
The sniper squad, led by Xiao Fei, is a group of three and is located at the front of the team. With the sniper rifles in their hands, they can detect enemy traces in advance and then report them.
Arriving near the 100th regiment's position, Yang Dingguo frowned when he saw that it was still entangled with the enemy.
We can't waste too much time here, we must break through as soon as possible.
Through the scope in his hand, he observed the enemy's position.
After two or three minutes, Yang Dingguo breathed a sigh of relief.
The enemy should have two regiments, nearly 4,000 men, but they don't have any heavy weapons and not many light machine guns. The reason why they can stop the 100 regiments is because of the large number of people.
"Xiao Fei, you take the sniper squad to find a position. The purpose is very simple. Keep an eye on the enemy's machine guns and don't give them a chance to fire!"
"yes!"
After receiving the order, Xiaofei immediately left with the soldiers of the sniper squad.
"After the enemy's machine gun goes silent, we will charge to the flank, quickly break through to the enemy's position, and scatter them."
"Liuzi, you go find Commander Han of the 100th Regiment and ask him to rush with us later. The enemy's machine gun misfire is our attack signal!"
"yes!"
A young soldier who looked younger than Yang Dingguo saluted, then turned around and ran towards the 100 regiment position.
The next step is to wait for the large troops to arrive.
Until now, the Thirty-fourth Division has only about 1,000 men left after all battles have been fought. Among them, there are more than 100 wounded, and less than 900 can actually fight.
Therefore, we must act together.
"Bang bang bang~~~"
"Captain, there are too many enemies. We have charged three times and we can't get through!"
"Damn it, you have to charge even if you can't. The division commander is coming soon. We can't delay the retreat of the large forces because of us."
After thinking about it, Captain Han became angry and slapped the table made of wooden boxes in front of him.
"Gather all the machine guns in the entire regiment and form a death squad. I will personally lead the charge!"
Just as Captain Han was preparing, Liuzi arrived.
"Captain Han, our commando team is here."
Commando?
Captain Han was still very impressed with the team that was just formed last night.
All Hans domestically made submachine guns, the firepower is not just a boast, it is simply a timely rain.
Especially after hearing Yang Dingguo's plan, Captain Han nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, I understand. You go back and tell Captain Yang, and I will do my best to cooperate with his actions."
...
The sniper squad quickly entered the combat position and then began to harvest by name.
"Bang bang bang~~~"
Gunfire continued.
Because they were marching in a hurry, the Gui army who was responsible for the detour only rested for about half an hour before starting the battle.
They didn't even have time to prepare their positions, so they could only rely on the terrain and environment as bunkers. There were even four or five people lying behind some trees.
While the sniper squad was still taking roll call, Yang Dingguo led the assault squad to a position about two hundred meters away from the right wing of the Gui army's position.
The trees here are relatively lush, which can hide the traces very well, and it is easy to be discovered further forward.
"Check them all. When the time comes, follow me and rush towards the Gui army's position. Does he understand?"
"clear!"
