Devil's Army

Seeing that the battalion commander was about to go to the front line again, the orderly Xiao Zhang hurriedly called out:

"Commander, your wounds haven't fully healed yet, and you're going back to the front lines?"

The battalion commander glared at Xiao Zhang, said nothing, and prepared to leave.

The nurse wouldn't stand for it. She grabbed the battalion commander and forced him to sit down on the edge of the bed, shouting:

"Your medication hasn't been changed yet, what's the rush?"

"Our battalion had nearly 800 men, and now less than 300 are left. People are already dead, so what are we worried about with these minor injuries?"

After the battalion commander finished speaking, he was about to tear off the bandage on his left arm.

The nurse's nose tingled with emotion upon hearing this, but she forced herself to speak:

"You have to wait until I change your bandages before you go to the front lines. If you dare to tear off the bandages, I'll have Dr. Guo call your regimental commander."

When the battalion commander heard that he was going to call their regimental commander, knowing their commander's fiery temper, he was sure he would be given a severe dressing-down. So he immediately softened his stance and said:

"Okay, okay, I'll wait until you finish changing the dressing before I leave."

"Your wound shouldn't get wet, and don't pull on it. It's best to rest for a week before you go anywhere."

"I wanted to rest too, but the Japanese wouldn't let me. Their attacks grew fiercer with each passing moment."

The nurse opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but ultimately held back.

Without these soldiers fighting bloody battles on the front lines, how could they have a peaceful life in the rear?

Moreover, judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that Hunchun can be held.

The battalion commander arrived at the front line and immediately took the binoculars from the deputy battalion commander to observe.

At this moment, Battalion Commander Wu of the newly formed 1st Regiment also arrived:

"Battalion Commander Guo, the First Battalion of the newly formed First Regiment has been ordered to report to you."

"Alright, order your battalion to retreat another 200 meters."

"Battalion Commander Guo, our battalion is here to fight the Japanese, not to retreat."

"Are you expecting me to make the same mistake twice? Retreat immediately!"

Looking at Battalion Commander Wu, who looked unconvinced, a deputy battalion commander chimed in:

"I'll go too, to arrange for our soldiers to retreat."

"it is good!"

On the way to the front lines together, a deputy battalion commander said to Battalion Commander Wu:

"When the battle first began, our Battalion Commander Guo, like you, wanted to defend the border to the death and not let the Japanese devils set foot in our country. But after a round of shelling by the Japanese, more than half of our battalion was killed or wounded, and he even got a severe scolding from our regimental commander for it."

"Oh, I see. We're retreating now because the Japanese are preparing to fire artillery, and we need to preserve our strength?"

"Yes, I just saw the Japanese transport team unloading ammunition. Their artillery must have been replenished as well. Before attacking, the Japanese usually bombard our positions with artillery fire before their infantry advances."

Less than ten minutes after the soldiers of the First Battalion and the newly formed First Battalion withdrew, the sharp whistling of artillery shells suddenly rang out from the Japanese positions.

Immediately afterwards, the battalion's position was surrounded by artillery fire and smoke.

A deputy battalion commander pointed to the smoke-filled front lines and asked Battalion Commander Wu:

"If your soldiers hadn't retreated, how many do you think would still be alive? They didn't even kill a single Japanese soldier, and they just died like that. Don't you think that's a tragedy?"

"Battalion Commander Zhang, I was wrong. You guys are more experienced."

"These experiences were gained through bloodshed and the lives of our soldiers."

The intense Japanese bombardment lasted for nearly 20 minutes before it subsided.

"Battalion Commander Wu, it's our turn."

As soon as the battalion commander finished speaking, the communications soldier came over to relay the order:

"Report, the battalion commander has ordered the first and second companies of the newly formed first battalion to come with us."
