Chapter 209 The Japs’ temporary retreat!
Thousands of soldiers from the third regiment rushed out and quickly caught up with the Japanese who were only two or three hundred meters away from them.
These devils had suffered many casualties after being bombarded for seven or eight minutes.
Now there were artillery shells blocking their way in front and pursuers behind. Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the Japanese were in despair.
So they formed groups of two and rushed towards the soldiers of the third regiment, but what greeted them were mostly the crisp sounds of submachine guns.
"Da da da......"
Amidst the crisp sound of gunfire, the Japanese soldiers continued to fall.
Faced with the wave after wave of soldiers from the Three Regiments rushing up, the remaining Japanese soldiers quickly collapsed.
At this moment, the Japanese were like a small boat in the vast ocean, quickly submerged in the turbulent sea.
The battle was over quickly.
After all, the Japanese had no commander and had been bombarded, so they really had no combat effectiveness.
Wang Dali looked around and saw that the Japanese had been almost wiped out, so it didn't matter even if some of them escaped.
So Wang Dali began to order the troops to withdraw to the trenches. He, Wang Dali, did not dare to let the troops stay on the battlefield.
Who knows whether the Japanese support troops have arrived or not, after all, the east gate of Chidong County is too close to the south gate of Chidong County.
Leaving two platoons to continue cleaning the battlefield and reloading the Japanese corpses, Wang Dali led the others to retreat to the trenches.
There was a lot of noise on Wang Dali's side, after all, the heavy artillery unit bombarded for more than ten minutes.
So Liu Feng, Sun Hu and Zhou Weimin all observed this.
Just when the battle on Wang Dali's side ended.
Liu Feng and Sun Hu also launched a counterattack against the Japanese, but the results of Liu Feng and Sun Hu's counterattacks were not as great as Wang Dali's.
Wang Dali completely wiped out the Japanese outside the south gate of Chidong County.
However, Liu Feng and Sun Hu only inflicted heavy damage on the Japanese outside the east and west gates of Chidong County.
However, the battle results at the east and west gates of Dong County City were also gratifying.
"Good...well done." Zhou Weimin said happily at the command post at the north gate of East County.
In fact, Zhou Weimin did not expect the battle results of Wang Dali, Liu Feng and Sun Hu.
Zhou Weimin's original intention was to let Wang Dali, Liu Feng and Sun Hu fight back against the Japanese.
Make the devils feel oppressed.
However, no one expected that Liu Feng and Sun Hu inflicted heavy damage on the Japanese, and Wang Dali completely wiped out the Japanese outside the south gate of Chidong County.
"Xu Hu, quickly have Wang Dali send a company of soldiers out of the south gate of Chidong County."
"This company's mission is to observe the situation in the counties surrounding Chidong County."
Zhou Weimin seemed to suddenly think of something, so he quickly spoke to Xu Hu beside him.
"Yes!" Xu Hu saluted immediately after hearing this, and then hurried to convey the order.
Fortunately, Zhou Weimin issued the order in time.
At present, there were no Japanese reinforcements outside the south gate of Chidong County, so this company easily rushed out of Chidong County.
The results of the battles at the South Gate, East Gate and West Gate of Chidong County were gratifying.
However, the battle at the north gate of Chidong County was still fierce, if Zhou Weimin had not used anti-aircraft guns to shoot at the Japanese.
The first line of defense might really be captured by the Japanese.
After all, there were too many Japanese soldiers and the guard regiment was almost unable to defend.
"Commander, has the Japanese attack stopped?" Wu Qianli said to Zhou Weimin beside him as he watched the Japanese slowly retreat through a telescope.
"Let me see." Zhou Weimin said to Wu Qianli after hearing this.
After hearing Zhou Weimin's words, Wu Qianli hurriedly handed the telescope to Zhou Weimin.
Zhou Weimin picked up the telescope and looked at the battlefield.
Indeed, the Japs did retreat slowly, and took the wounded with them when they retreated.
"It seems that the Japanese division commander already knows the situation of the South Gate, East Gate, and West Gate of Chidong County."
"It all depends on what the devils have planned next."
"Now that the Japanese have lost their heavy artillery battalion, they have suffered heavy losses at the South Gate, East Gate, and West Gate of Chidong County."
"It's no longer realistic for the Japanese to plan a full-scale attack on Chidong County, unless the Japanese division commander disregards everything else and attacks the north gate of Chidong County with all his strength."
Zhou Weimin put down the telescope and said to Wu Qianli beside him.
Zhou Weimin was not relieved at this moment. After all, in just over an hour, the guard regiment was basically crippled.
If the soldiers of the guard regiment were not veterans rewarded by the system and had not fought to the death, the Japanese would have captured the north gate of Chidong County long ago.
Although the weapons and equipment of the guard regiment are powerful, they are one level higher than those of the Japanese.
But there were too many devils.
You have to know that the number of Japanese soldiers is five or six times that of the guard regiment!
"Commander, since the Japanese have retreated, shouldn't we take advantage of this opportunity to rest?"
"After all, the soldiers are exhausted."
After hearing Zhou Weimin's words, Wu Qianli thought for a while, and then said to Zhou Weimin.
At this moment, Wu Qianli's heart was really hurt!
The guard regiment of more than 3,000 people had suffered more than 2,000 casualties in less than a day.
If it weren’t for the support of the guard battalion.
I'm afraid the guard regiment really can't defend against the Japanese attack.
It was also at this moment that Wu Qianli realized how arrogant his previous thoughts were.
With only more than 30 people in the guard regiment, there was no way to stop the attack of tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese attack was too fierce.
Especially some of the Japs were completely suicidal in their attacks!
"Well, go and make the arrangements yourself, and by the way, count our casualties and those of the Japanese."
"Also, have the logistics team send up some more ammunition."
After hearing Wu Qianli's words, Zhou Weimin nodded slightly and said.
"Yes!" Wu Qianli saluted and said after hearing this.
After Wu Qianli left.
Zhou Weimin then said to the signalman beside him: "Send a message to Liu Feng, Wang Dali, and Sun Hu, and ask them to report the losses."
"Let the logistics team send some ammunition over. Oh, and tell Liu Feng, Wang Dali, and Sun Hu about the Japanese director's retreat."
"Let Liu Feng, Wang Dali, and Sun Hu take a quick rest to guard against the enemy's next attack."
"Also, have Liu Feng, Wang Dali, and Sun Hu keep a close eye on the Japanese and report any developments immediately."
The South Gate, East Gate and West Gate of Chidong County achieved good results.
But the war has not been won yet, and the Japanese have suffered no losses in their main forces.
So Zhou Weimin had to be careful.
Only after dark and when Zhou Weimin materialized the tank troops would he feel relieved.
Zhou Weimin is very confident in the tank troops.
"Yes!" After hearing Zhou Weimin's words, the signalman quickly saluted and responded.
Then he turned around to convey the order.
After arranging everything, Zhou Weimin began to observe the sand table again, thinking about how to fight the next battle.
