The entire battle lasted for more than two hours. The front of the mountain was full of corpses of the Japanese. There were fewer and fewer soldiers on the Eighth Route Army side who could shoot. Hu Hao didn't know how many soldiers were reloading and reloading his bullets. Anyway, as long as he went to a place, there would definitely be soldiers reloading his bullets and he would only shoot.
The Japanese soldiers could not hold on any longer and started to retreat. They had no choice but to retreat. In many places, the corpses of the Japanese soldiers were thrown very high. In some places, there was no place to even put their feet on. They were all corpses. The Japanese soldiers had lost at least 4000 people in this battle, and there were not many people left on the 8th route. When the soldiers saw that the Japanese soldiers had retreated, they did not cheer. Instead, they looked at the injured people beside them.
"Brother, brother, wake up. "Wake up, the Japanese have retreated, brother!" A soldier pushed a soldier who was lying motionless in the trench and shouted.
"Brother, brother, it's okay. The Japanese have retreated. I'll send you to the hospital immediately. It's okay, it's okay! A warrior said as he looked at a wounded warrior's head. That warrior's chest was broken, and he kept spitting out blood.
" Geng Zi, kill more devils and take care of yourself. Tell your parents that your son is unfilial," the soldier said.
"Brother! Ah!" Geng Zi cried out loudly.
Hu Hao was not idle either. Instead, he kept putting them on in the trenches, bandaging the soldiers who could still be saved to stop the bleeding, waiting for the blind date to come and take them off the stage.
" Dumbo, Dumbo!" A voice called out to him.
" Xiao Li, why are you here?" Hu Hao was bandaging a soldier. When he heard the voice, he looked up and saw Platoon Leader Li, the guard platoon leader beside Regiment Commander Zhang.
"Dumbo, Dumbo, hurry up and go over there, Regiment Commander Zhang."Commander Zhang," Xiao Li cried and said,
"What's wrong with my brother?" When Hu Hao heard that it was Regiment Commander Zhang, he grabbed Platoon Leader Li's clothes and asked fiercely,
" Regiment Commander Zhang is injured. The shrapnel of the Japanese soldier hit his abdomen." Before Platoon Leader Li could finish, Hu Hao grabbed his gun and ran to the regiment command center.
" Brother, brother!" Hu Hao shouted as soon as he ran into the command center. He was looking for Commander Zhang.
" Dumbo, over here! The regiment commander is over here!" The political commissar's voice rang out. His arm had just been bandaged, and there were still traces of blood on the bandages.
" Brother!" Hu Hao threw down his gun and ran over. He knelt on the ground and took the Chief of Staff's hand to hold Regiment Commander Zhang.
" Brother, let's go to the hospital. Let's go to the hospital," Hu Hao said as he carried Regiment Commander Zhang out.
" Don't, Dumbo, don't. I'm fine. The shrapnel hit my abdomen, but it didn't hit any vital parts. I won't die yet," Commander Zhang said.
" Brother, can we go to the hospital first? Brother, let's go to the hospital." Hu Hao didn't know what to say, and tears started to fall.
" Dumbo, I'm the regiment commander. I'm fine now. I can't retreat. If I retreat with such a small injury, how can I be the regiment commander? Our regiment has suffered a lot of casualties. If I retreat, the morale of the army will be scattered. If the Japanese attack again, our defense line will be over. Our 8th Route Army's plan to encircle the 20th Division will be ruined," Commander Zhang said.
"Brother, you have to go down too. The shrapnel is in your body. It'll get inflamed after a long time. Can we go to the hospital to take it out and come back?”Hu Hao continued,
"It's fine. I know my own body. What's wrong with your hand? Why didn't you bandage it?”Commander Zhang saw the blood on Hu Hao's arm and said,
" Oh, brother, I'm fine. The bullet grazed my skin, but it didn't hurt my flesh. I'm fine," Hu Hao said.
" Alright, you go down and monitor the Japanese first. If it weren't for your machine gun, our defense line would have been in danger. Go down first. I have something to discuss with the Chief of Staff," Commander Zhang said.
" Brother, if it really doesn't work, let's go to the hospital. Our regiment doesn't need you alone," Hu Hao still didn't give up. He could see the thin beads of sweat on Regiment Commander Zhang's forehead. It was winter now, and it was very cold outside in the northwest.
" I said you should go down. Didn't you hear me? If I have something to do, I'll go back to the hospital myself," Commander Zhang scolded.
Hu Hao had no choice but to go against Regiment Commander Zhang's words. He was right. He also knew that the commander of an army was the soul of the army. As long as he was there, the soldiers could fight to the death.
So Hu Hao said to the political commissar and the chief of staff," Take good care of my brother. If he really can't do it, send him to the hospital. I'm going to kill the Japanese."
" Okay, you go. We will take good care of the regiment commander. You have to be careful," the political commissar said.
After Hu Hao left, the political commissar said to Regiment Commander Zhang," I say, Old Zhang, don't hold on anymore. I think you should go down. The Chief of Staff and I are here."
"Haha, it's not that I don't trust you. Old Wang, you're a political commissar. Although you've fought in the war, you're not good enough to command the war. Chief of Staff Sun, you can handle the details, but you still lack experience in commanding the war. If it was a normal battle, you two could have done it, but not this time.”Commander Zhang said,
"Regiment Commander, Division Commander Telegram," a signalman took a telegram and said to the three of them.
"Read it.“
"Regiment Commander Zhang, please hold on until the sky turns dark tomorrow night. Our division has already begun to kill the 20th division, so you must ensure the stability of the rear line of defense.”The signalman read,
" It seems like our division headquarters is also nervous now. If they didn't send out the guards, the other regiments in our division would probably have a hard time too," Commander Zhang said. "Old Sun, send someone to pick up the people from the guard company. It's 4 pm now. Let's see if the Japanese attack before dark today. If they attack, it'll be a fierce battle again."
Devil's vanguard camp
"Baka, two regiments, and you can't even take down a line of defense that isn't even a full regiment. What are you doing? You even lost more than 4000 men. You should commit harakiri and apologize to the Emperor," Dohimoto Kenji scolded Major General Sakai and his two regimental commanders.
"Hai, our army is charging without artillery support, and we can't even spread out in this area, which is why there are so many casualties. Regiment Commander, please give us another chance. We will charge again and ensure that those eight lines of defense remain intact."
Major General Sakai said,
"There's no need. Your exploration team has less than 4000 people left. I don't want to rebuild the 28th exploration team after this battle. "Leave the rest of the attack to General Guan Yuwu's 27th Brigade," Dohimoto Kenji said.
"Hai, we will immediately set up the eight lines of defense. Don't worry, Regiment Commander."
Major General Guan Yuwu said,
"General, give us another chance. We can immediately set off those eight routes. If we don't take them down, it will be a disgrace to our 28th Brigade!”Major General Sakai said,
" I don't have that much time for you to wash away your shame." Dohimoto Kenji left after saying that.
