Bright Sword: I am the old squad leader of the Northwest Shanxi Iron Triangle

Chapter 296: Quick and Organized Retreat

When these Japanese soldiers were 20 kilometers away from Fengtian City, they quickly stopped to rest.

The city was filled with thick smoke and flames shot into the sky.

The Japanese, the commanders of the two divisions were shocked when they saw this.

At first, the commanders of the two Japanese divisions wanted to rush into the city regardless of the consequences.

However, they soon calmed down. The Japanese found that there were flames in the city, but no gunfire could be heard.

This means that the fighting in the city is over.

"Have those Chinese from Bageyalu already occupied Fengtian City? Or have we already wiped out all of them?

There is no other explanation.”

"Whether we have wiped out this group of Tubalu or they have occupied the city, we must act with caution.

This group of Eighth Route Army soldiers are very capable in combat, we can't be easily fooled by them."

Just at this moment, the Japanese scouts rushed over.

These Japanese scouts riding fast horses jumped off their horses.

"Sir, we found a lot of tank track marks near the road to the north."

When the two Japanese division commanders heard about the large number of tank track marks, they were even more shocked.

"How far is it from here?"

“It’s less than two miles away, and everywhere else is just a vast snowfield.

But the marks of tank tracks in that place are too obvious. I estimate that at least several hundred tanks have passed through that place, otherwise there would definitely not be such obvious tank track marks. "

When the Japanese heard that hundreds of tanks had passed through that place, they were instantly paralyzed.

The number of tanks owned by these Japanese devils is only over 20. Over 20 tanks against hundreds of tanks, isn't that just suicide?

"Take me to see it quickly." The two Japanese division commanders shouted almost in unison.

Ten minutes later, the two Japanese commanders of the Tenth Regiment, accompanied by a dozen combat staff officers, quickly rushed to a distance.

However, when they got there, they were shocked.

The ground was covered with messy marks of tank tracks.

The messy marks of tank tracks surprised all the Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese soldiers jumped off their horses and quickly measured the width of the tank tracks with their fingers.

They had never seen such wide tank tracks.

Not only that, the depth of the tank tracks crushing the ground is enough to show that these tanks are absolutely huge.

There is no other reason besides this.

"This means that these Eighth Route Army troops have driven hundreds of tanks into the city.

There is no sound of gunfire in the city now, it is very likely that all the imperial troops in the city have been wiped out by them."

"Guys, this means that rushing into the city now will do us no good.

Even if we rush into the city now, it will be useless."

Looking at the marks of the tank tracks, the Japanese combat staff also expressed their opinions.

"Sir, I think at this point we should retreat immediately. If we continue to stay here, we will die."

"Sir, the Chinese have a saying: As long as the green mountains remain, there is no need to worry about running out of firewood.

If we continue to advance now, not only will we fail to retake Fengtian City, but we will also most likely lose all the forces of our two divisions.

Soldiers of the Empire are not afraid of death, but it would be the most tragic if soldiers of the Empire died meaninglessly. "

"Sir, if we know that the enemy has set up a trap waiting for us, and we still rush forward, we will be controlling the empire's living strength."

At this time, the two little devils looked at each other and reached a consensus.

"Get out of here, the sooner the better."

At this moment, a combat staff officer quickly lay on the ground with his ear to the ground.

The Japanese combat officer's expression became uglier and uglier as he listened.

"How's it going? Did you hear any noise?"

"Sir, you have to leave here now. The enemy has sent a large number of tanks and armored vehicles. I estimate there are at least several hundred of them, and they are all huge. The ground is shaking so fast that I have never seen it before.

Even if tens of thousands of our empire's troops acted together, there wouldn't be such a big commotion."

After hearing what the two Japanese captains heard, they quickly lay on the ground, and it turned out to be just as they said.

The ground was shaking violently.

This means that a large number of troops are rushing here quickly.

If you don't leave quickly, the consequences will be disastrous.

"You combat staff members, quickly return to inform our people and leave here immediately.

We must evacuate in an orderly manner and must not lose our composure. The enemy is moving very quickly. If we lose our composure, they will kill each other and trample on each other, resulting in countless casualties."

After the two Japanese division commanders finished speaking, they jumped onto their horses, waved their whips, and galloped away recklessly.

The two high-ranking Japanese officers have decided that the best strategy is to retreat.

After hearing this, the Japanese combat staff quickly ran away.

At this moment, most of the Japanese soldiers were lying on the ground to rest, when suddenly more and more of them felt the ground shaking.

Many Japanese soldiers were stunned. They had never seen such a torrent of steel rushing from afar.

"Why is the ground shaking? Is there an earthquake?"

The Japanese are from a country prone to earthquakes. On average, there are more than three earthquakes every day in their homeland.

These Japanese soldiers were accustomed to earthquakes, but they never expected that the shock caused by the tanks rolling in would be even more terrifying than an earthquake.

At this moment, these Japanese soldiers didn't know what to do.

The dozen or so Japanese combat staff officers who were rushing towards them on horseback shouted at them.

"All personnel, listen to the order, the enemy is coming, retreat in an organized and large-scale retreat.

We must not lose our composure.

We must not let these local Eighth Route Army soldiers seize the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on us, otherwise we will be finished."

When many Japanese soldiers heard about the retreat, they were extremely excited. No one wanted to fight. As long as they could leave here quickly, that would be better than anything else.

Many Japanese soldiers stood up and ran back.

They said that there was an organized and disciplined retreat, but that was simply wishful thinking. Daydreaming could only exist in their imaginations. Retreat could never be organized and disciplined, and most of the little devils had already felt the vibration from afar while they were lying on the ground.
