Started as a security team, developed into a heavy armored synthesis division

At this moment, Xiao Dingfang's eyes were so determined and cold that the two men were shocked.

Yuan Bing was calmer and ordered, "You two stay here, and the rest of you follow me."

In this way, Yuan Bing took five machine gunners and found another platoon of soldiers to reinforce in the direction of Yinpingshan Reservoir.

Xiao Dingfang still didn't give a good look to the two machine gunners who stayed behind for treatment.

"Why, haven't you seen enough people die from wound infection? Do you really want to die?"

Hearing this, the two seemed to recall some past events, and Xiao Dingfang also recalled some past events.

Although their 8th Security Regiment was formed only half a year ago, they have fought in many battles, and several people have died from infection.

There is no way, there is a lack of medicine.

The regular army is short of medicines, not to mention their security team. Even if there are medical supplies, they should be given to the regular army first, right?

As he was talking, Xiao Dingfang also went to find disinfectant alcohol and gauze, and personally disinfected and bandaged the two people.

As a special forces soldier, he knew how to provide first aid, but at this moment, some more extensive medical knowledge unconsciously emerged.

【Ding, gain medical knowledge proficiency. 】

Xiao Dingfang was stunned. This system... has some conscience.

"Okay, go ahead and tell Monkey and the two Sichuan Army battalion commanders that we will retreat tonight after resting."

"Ah huh? Retreat?"

"What? Hurry up!"

On the 5th, the system gave us the task of holding on to Sanbing Town for 15 days. Today is the 19th, and at 12 o'clock midnight today it will be the 20th.

To be honest, this place is quite good. The cannon is placed on the back mountain, and its firing range is very wide. Even the Japanese Type 75 mm field gun cannot reach it.

But the problem is that a major general of the Japanese devils has died, and this Sanbing Town will face the Japanese devils' horrific revenge.

Now they only have a few hundred people, but they can't stop the crazy Japanese.

It was because of madness that Nakajima Mitsuru requested air force support from the Army Aviation Regiment, so the undefeated pilot Major Fujita Yuzo came, and then... he was undefeated, and he got 500 points.

Even Nakajima Mitsuru himself was killed by Xiao Dingfang's sniper cannon, contributing a lot of points.

But there are not so many good things in the world. They were able to succeed this time because of the other party's intelligence. Next time, the Japanese will not send 4 planes.

Of course, Xiao Dingfang decided to retreat not just because of the mission. After the Japanese occupied Hefei on the 15th, their main force had already begun to move south.

If time goes on for a long time, the Japanese will occupy most of the area north of the Yangtze River, and then form an encirclement of Beixie Mountain where their Sanbing Town is located. By then, they will not be able to leave even if they want to.

As for staying in Sanbing Town to fight guerrilla warfare?

Don't make a fuss. Guerrilla warfare is not Xiao Dingfang's cup of tea. Who can carry a 5-ton cannon to fight guerrilla warfare? Although we can store the cannon in space, we can't do it too often.

Besides, who would want to fight guerrilla warfare when you have a cannon in hand? The M1930 105mm cannon has a range of 20 kilometers. When a shell is fired, the coverage radius of the shock wave damage reaches 30 meters, and the shrapnel killing radius can reach 300 meters. So, isn’t it better to use the cannon for long-range firepower coverage?

After all, that’s twenty kilometers. What does twenty kilometers mean?

That is, if the cannon position is moved from the back mountain of Sanbing Town to Zhaojiashan where Yuan Bing shot down the plane, then the cannon can directly hit Chaocheng County from Sanbing Town. The distance is quite far and quite terrifying.

Of course, all this depends on the number of artillery and a stable base.

However, under the current situation, Sanbing Town is not suitable for establishing a base as its strategic location is not prominent.

Moreover, Xiao Dingfang now has too few troops and does not have the strength to engage in a large-scale head-on battle with the Japanese, so he still needs to avoid the sharp edge.

Moreover, facing the upcoming Battle of Wuhan, although Xiao Dingfang felt that it was a bit difficult to change the outcome of the war, after all, it was a large-scale battle involving hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands of people on both sides. It would be difficult for him, Xiao Dingfang, to change the situation of the war.

However, it is still possible to achieve some results in certain local areas.

Xiao Dingfang had already thought about this problem clearly on the night he got the system, Lujiang.

There is a Tiger Mountain to the west of Lujiang County. Relying on the powerful terrain of the remaining ranges of Dabie Mountains, Tiger Mountain can attack or defend. There is a reservoir behind the mountain and an Anhe Highway running north and south in front of the mountain.

The Anhe Highway connects Hefei in the north and Anqing in southern Anhui in the south. It is an extremely important north-south transportation line. The Japanese must have transported supplies from north to south through here.

And Xiao Dingfang only needs to fire the cannon at Tiger Mountain, hehe...

Well, this is not a base at all. This is just a steel needle that Xiao Dingfang stabbed into the Japanese.

If this steel needle is not pulled out, the Japanese's north-south transportation line will be interrupted. If they want to transport supplies, they can only take a long detour via the waterway to Chaocheng.

Therefore, it is conceivable that there will be constant wars on Tiger Mountain in the future.

Of course, the specific details will have to wait until the main force arrives at Tiger Mountain after tonight. Xiao Dingfang really wants to see what rewards there will be after completing this system task.

As for no rewards?

Haha, if there was no reward, Xiao Dingfang would dare to stuff the system into the barrel of the cannon and then block the barrel to cause it to explode.

An unknown creature is... trembling...

…………

However, while victory was achieved, there were also many casualties on this side.

Except for a company of 100 people in the direction of Yinpingshan Reservoir, among the more than 700 people defending Sanbing Town, 180 were killed directly, nearly 60 were seriously injured, and more than 200 were slightly injured.

In other words, the casualties on Xiao Dingfang's side have reached 450, and the casualty ratio has reached two-thirds.

It can be said that this victory was also a pyrrhic one.

As for Yinping Mountain, when Yuan Bing arrived at the Yinping Mountain Reservoir, even Yuan Bing was so shocked that he was speechless.

Because among the 70 brothers of the 35st Company of the 9th Battalion of the Sichuan Army, 26 were killed directly, of the remaining were seriously injured, and the remaining were all injured.

Of course, this was only the point that shocked Yuan Bing. The other point was the Japanese side.

The mountain road was so densely packed with the corpses of Japanese soldiers that even the road was blocked. A rough estimate was that there were at least more than 300 Japanese soldiers, maybe even .

"Hey, we've run out of bullets. If the devils hadn't suddenly retreated, we might not have seen you."

Company commander Ding Shuangxi smiled, showing his big white teeth, but Yuan Bing's eyes were red. After all, the battle was too brutal, because several of the Sichuan Army brothers had lost their hands and feet and were dying. It was obvious that they would not survive.

"Didn't our battalion commander say that we can fight and retreat at the same time? There's no need to defend to the death."

Yuan Bing spoke, but Ding Shuangxi still smiled and said:

"The Japanese have two battalions and are coming fiercely. The terrain here is also the best. If we retreat from here, we will all die."

Yuan Bing wanted to refute this, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.

Afterwards, they dug a big pit and buried the bodies of the fallen soldiers. As for those brothers whose limbs were broken, they did not survive and were buried together.

As for the corpses of the Japanese, Yuan Bing and his men did not have the energy to collect them.

When Yuan Bing, Ding Shuangxi and others returned to Sanbing Town, it was already evening.

Although the overall atmosphere was depressing, after all, the casualties were huge.

But when they heard that they had repelled the Japanese attack and shot down three Japanese planes, everyone's mood improved.

Everyone bandaged their wounds, ate, and rested...

Xiao Dingfang finally had time to sweep the battlefield.

All the rifles, machine guns, grenade launchers and other equipment on the battlefield that look usable are stored in the system warehouse.

His troops couldn't take away so many weapons and equipment, so he had to use this small mobile warehouse. He could just find a chance to release them later.

Before I knew it, the time finally came to 12 o'clock midnight...

[Ding, the 15-day mission of defending Sanbing Town is completed, and the completion evaluation is S-level! ]
