Anti-Japanese War: When I get promoted, the system will explode with soldiers

The other officers in the temporary command center were also arguing. Some said they wanted to leave, while others said they wanted to hold on and wait for help. Boris didn't know who to listen to. He could still gather more than 3,000 remnants and more than 4,000 Huns under his command.

However, the Dragon Army on the other side of the river is much stronger than ours in both quantity and quality. It is not easy to defend this place or escape quickly.

"Where's Hargreaves? Where did he go? Find him for me."

After an unknown amount of time, Boris suddenly thought of his old rivals. The talents of these people in front of him were not as good as his own. If he wanted to ask for their opinions, among all the officers in the army, perhaps only Hargreaves could be considered good.

"I'm here. I won't engage in a pointless quarrel like you. If you continue to argue, you'll be captured by those Dragon people. I know what you want to ask me. Immediately, split up into three groups and flee in three directions. Run deep into the grassland, the deeper the better. It would be best if we don't even know the way out and wait for the air force to lead us out."

Hargreaves was carried in, shot in the leg and in the shoulder.

"What are you talking about? You're completely crazy. Do you know how terrifying the depths of the grassland are? Even the oldest herdsmen might get lost if they go in. And there are terrible swamps. Do you want us all to die in there?"

The other regimental commander immediately expressed his objection. Hargreaves looked at him with contempt and said, "When the army was attacking fiercely last night, I don't know where you ran off to. Your infantry regiment now has less than a hundred people, and you still have the nerve to speak here."

When he saw Hargreaves's eyes, this guy knew that he was in the wrong, so he stepped back timidly, but others also expressed their opposition and did not think that Hargreaves's method was a good idea.

"Immediately divide the troops into three groups. I will lead one group myself. Disperse immediately. Do not gather here. Let those Huns lead us. This is their home."

Just when everyone thought Boris also opposed it, who knew that this guy had learned his lesson. If he had listened to Hargreaves before, maybe he would have crossed the river by now. Unfortunately, at the last moment, he still hid a batch of artillery shells, allowing the other side to hold on.

In the end, the batch of artillery shells were not used. After the enemy's regular army arrived, they immediately launched a covering bombardment on their positions. As a result, during the bombardment, the hidden artillery shells exploded, blowing away more than a hundred soldiers guarding the shells.

Hargreaves glanced at the commander-in-chief in surprise. The two had been fighting for years, but he had never seen this guy so obedient. It seemed that the battlefield could make some people grow, but the price of this growth was a bit heavy. Thinking about the corpses of Rakshasas all over the ground, he really didn't know what to say.

They had just made this decision when the roar of planes was heard in the sky. More than a dozen bombers dropped more than 20 tons of bombs on them, and the entire military camp was in chaos.

"I don't care about that anymore. I'll just recruit as many people as I can."

Their jeeps had appeared on the distant hills. Boris knew very well that on such a grassland, the speed of the jeep could even reach 50 kilometers per hour. If you don't seize the time to run, you will be captured.

In the country of Rakshasa, being a prisoner is more terrifying than dying in battle!

Hargreaves lay in the carriage. Boris had to take this guy with him, otherwise he would be at a loss when he reached the depths of the grassland.

More than a thousand people rode fast horses and quickly broke away from the original army.

Mr. Boris wanted to take more people away, but Hargreaves said, if you take too many people, who will be cannon fodder to block the charging Dragon Army for you?

After hearing what Hargreaves said, Boris remained silent. He admitted that Hargreaves was right. Only when these people were in chaos in the same place, would the Dragon Army chasing them from behind stop and gather these people. By the time this was done, they were already dozens of kilometers away.

Sacrificing comrades to buy time to escape may be a bit difficult for Hargreaves, but for Boris, he even worried whether taking away more than a thousand people was too much?

The facts were almost as they predicted. When the first jeep appeared on the hillside, the armored group behind also rushed over with overwhelming force. Many Xiongnu civilians and soldiers dropped their guns. In their opinion, these people were all yellow people like us, and they would not kill us all. We did not do anything excessive.

The Rakshasa army was different. They knew how many bad things they had done to their neighboring country to the south, so even if they didn't have war horses, they had to rely on their own legs to run north.

Hargreaves, lying on the carriage, held on to the handrails on both sides tightly. He could be thrown out at any time while running so fast.

But at this moment he patted his men who were driving the car, indicating that there was no need to fight so hard, because the opponent had enough vehicles and had now divided into several groups, including those who were fleeing, and there were people watching this side.

It's probably not that easy to compare the endurance of war horses and cars. War horses can maintain their current speed, but only for half an hour at most. After half an hour, even if you run these horses to death, you probably won't be able to rush over. The other side has a large number of two-wheeled motorcycles. In this case, where the war horses can pass, the two-wheeled motorcycles can also pass.

Unless there were some rivers nearby, perhaps the motorcycles would not be able to get through, but as they advanced, Hargreaves remembered clearly that there was not even a stream within dozens of kilometers.

"what do you mean?"

Seeing Hargreaves stop, Boris said in surprise, "Didn't you say we split into three groups and escape? This guy deliberately rode back on horseback."

"There's no way we can escape. I know the terrain ahead very well. Look at their speed. We'll be caught up in five minutes at most. Plus, there are planes in the sky. No matter where we run, we can't get underground."

Hargreaves lay down in the carriage and closed his eyes, trying to enjoy the last few minutes of free sunshine on the grassland. Once he entered the Chinese prisoner-of-war camp, the sunshine would belong to others, and he wouldn't be able to bask in it whenever he wanted...
