Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

"Hey, commander, you said the headquarters wants us to retreat?" Zhang Ling's head was buzzing when he heard the order.

What’s going on? The duck is already cooked and we’re just waiting for us to start eating it.

The boss wants to retreat at this time?

The division commander quickly told Zhang Ling the current situation.

And he said earnestly: "Zhang Ling, the boss is also unwilling."

"But we should not act on impulse when faced with major issues."

"The commander-in-chief said that your 772nd Independent Regiment set a very good example in this battle, which boosted the morale of the entire army and even the anti-Japanese residents across the country."

"That's enough. Before retreating, you as the leader can launch an attack."

"But if the attack fails, retreat immediately."

"The Japanese have already dispatched three armies, a mixed brigade and an aviation regiment."

"It will take at most one day to reach Cangyun Ridge."

"There is absolutely no chance that the 772 Independent Regiment will win, so don't act on impulse," said the division commander.

Zhang Ling laughed out loud when he heard this: "Division Commander, the Japanese reinforcements will take another 24 hours to arrive, right?"

"That's enough, please tell the boss."

"Before dawn, the lives of more than 20,000 Japanese devils are my great gift to the people of the country who are fighting against the Japanese invaders."

After saying that, Zhang Ling hung up the phone.

The division commander wanted to give more orders, but was held down by Political Commissar Wang.

"Master, there has never been such a good opportunity before."

"If it were you, would you be willing to retreat? Don't disappoint the soldiers."

"Besides, I believe Zhang Ling has this ability."

"Why not tell the boss?" Political Commissar Wang said to the division commander.

After hearing what Political Commissar Wang said, the division commander finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell the boss again."

Soon, the boss also knew that Zhang Ling promised to send more than 20,000 Japanese devils into space before dawn.

Although the boss was a little angry, he suppressed his anger.

The commander said that it was not easy to get this opportunity.

Whether it’s life or death, we have to let Zhang Ling try.

The boss hung up the phone and lit a cigarette.

After a long while, the boss cursed: "Damn it, Zhang Ling, if you die, I will carry your coffin!"

……

Time passed by minute by minute.

Born already dark.

The winter in northwest Shanxi is very harsh.

If I didn’t have a thick coat, I would really freeze to death on the ground.

The Japanese's military supplies are definitely not comparable to those of developed capitalist countries such as the United States.

But it is definitely much better than Longguo.

The other Eighth Route Army soldiers had no choice but to hide inside the house at this time.

There were only soldiers from the 772nd Independent Regiment.

At this time, I was happily eating the hot pork trotter rice.

Each person also added a piece of beef tenderloin and a bowl of soup.

The sound of humming makes the Cangyun Ridge under the night sky look a bit different.

On one side, the Eighth Route Army soldiers were eating enthusiastically.

On one side, the Japanese soldiers were gnawing on the dry rations in their hands.

And in the southwest corner of the Cang Yunlin position.

At this time, Nagamiyano was commanding a group of about 300 Japanese soldiers.

Digging the tunnel desperately.

"Keep your voice down, even though it would be unfair to other imperial warriors."

"But now that things have come to this, we have to save ourselves." Nagamiya said in a low voice.

"Chief of Staff Nagamiya, thank you so much this time."

"If you hadn't transferred me here, I would have died here in vain," a soldier said respectfully.

Nagamiya smiled and patted his shoulder: "We are all from Osaka, fellow Kansai people."

"Why are you saying so much? Hurry up. If nothing unexpected happens, the 772nd Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army will take action in the middle of the night."

"We have to leave through this tunnel before midnight."

"As for the other imperial warriors, I can only say Simimasai!"

After saying that, Nagamiya looked at the long tunnel of the First Army’s position behind him.

There were Japanese soldiers squatting in tunnels and eating dry food everywhere.

At around 11:30, Nagamiya and 300 Japanese soldiers successfully dug a tunnel from Cangyun Ridge to the back slope.

Under the leadership of Nagamiyano, 300 Japanese soldiers disappeared without a trace at night.

At the same time, Zhang Ling stood in the tunnel of the position and looked at the situation of the Japanese devils on the opposite side through a telescope.

The time came to 11:59.

At this time, Zhang Ling immediately ordered all battalions of the regiment to retreat secretly and orderly.

No noise is allowed.

After retreating, everyone gathered in Zhaojiay Village.

There are also combat missions.

Zhang Ling really didn't expect that the Japanese would send so many reinforcements this time.

This is really unexpected.

Although Zhang Ling had not thought of wiping out all the other reinforcements.

But at least we can retreat in multiple directions and hunt rabbits while picking grass.

Anyway, I don’t really want to fight with you.

Instead, they will slap you twice and then retreat quickly.

In this way, we can return to Li County and achieve some other merits.

As soon as 12 o'clock in the morning arrived.

The 772 battalions of the 20nd Independent Regiment secretly evacuated their positions one by one in accordance with the previous plan.

Because in the second half of the night, the visibility is very poor.

In addition, the positions of the 772nd Independent Regiment were also camouflaged.

From the Japanese's perspective, every member of the Eighth Route Army was on high alert to prevent their own side from breaking out.

And because of the guarantee from Yoshio Shinozuka.

The North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters has dispatched three armies, a mixed brigade and a temporary aviation corps for support.

It only takes one day of holding out to completely wipe out this group of the Eighth Route Army's independent regiment.

Therefore, the Japanese simply did not move.

Even if some places heard that there seemed to be unusual movements in the Eighth Route Army's positions, no one paid attention to it.

Anyway, just wait patiently for reinforcements to come and save your life.

Why take the initiative?

If he fails to return it, he will be killed by the Eighth Route Army.

Therefore, no one is willing to take the initiative now.

Just like that, by chance.

The 772nd Independent Regiment managed to retreat to a safe area at 3 a.m.

At the same time, Zhang Ling also found the best explosion site through the bird's-eye view of Cangyunling.

Then, Zhang Ling took Li Dazhuang and a platoon of soldiers directly to the attack site.

At this time, Li Dazhuang was also excited: "Captain, it's the same as last time."

"What kind of gas can we use to kill these 20,000 or so devils?"

"Captain, there are more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers here. Will this work?" Li Dazhuang was a little worried.

Zhang Ling slapped him on the back of his head: "What the hell are you doing whining?"

"You still don't believe what I say, just watch, I'll let you learn something new today."

"I'll let you know what it means to command troops like a god and plan strategies!"

After Zhang Ling finished speaking, he immediately ordered several soldiers to take out the mortars.

Then, under Zhang Ling's command, the soldiers adjusted the muzzle of the mortar to the corresponding scale.

At this time, the time was already 3:30 in the morning.

There are only 4 hours left until dawn.

It is about 5 hours away from the Japanese reinforcements.
