Looking at the infantry corps leader who had lost his breath, who had led his troops to meet with him, and the officers of other corps immediately felt like the sky had fallen. The most fatal thing was that the artillery bombardment of the avenge camp had never stopped.

Even though his vision was unclear at night, Sun Yuanqi, as the artillery commander, still adjusted the artillery angle from time to time to shell the Japanese gathered together. In Xu Mingzhi's words, it was to prevent the Japanese from forming large troops to break through.

A small group of troops broke through, and the third and fourth companies that had established simple blocking positions were able to deal with it. But the Japanese really had to rush over, and if they wanted to block them all in the encirclement, they might not be able to do so.

The officer of the infantry gang who was half squatting nearby quickly said, "Master Miura, the enemy's artillery fire is fierce, what should I do next?"

After a brief panic, the Japanese officers present immediately promoted the highest rank of Miura Mahei, who served as the temporary commander of the wing. In any case, the wing captain has been killed in battle, and many of the wing officers and soldiers are still alive?

Miura Mahei, who forced himself to calm down, looked at the battlefield at this moment and the sound of muskets around the camp, and finally said calmly: "You guys, the enemy situation is unknown. Forced breaking through will only increase casualties. I have an idea!"

Speaking out the breakthrough strategy he had thought of, the other Japanese officers were stunned and said, "Master Miura, what should the rest of the troops do if this happens? We do this to completely give up them!"

"If there are other better choices, I don't want to issue such an order. But the situation on the battlefield at this moment does not allow us to hesitate too much. Once the Chinese army launches a counterattack, how long do you think we can resist?"

After listening to Miura Mahei's explanation, other officers quickly fell silent. When they were on the battlefield, they sometimes had to make a quick decision. Too hesitation would only miss the opportunity. As for the current battlefield situation, Miura Mahei's choice was very correct.

Perhaps seeing the hesitation of the officers, Miura Mahei continued: "From the situation on the battlefield, the Chinese army did not dare to attack easily, which gave us a chance to retreat. As long as we cross the river safely, we would jump out of the Chinese army encirclement.

The troops that successfully cross the river have established blocking positions by the river to meet the remaining soldiers who are likely to cross the river to break through. If the Chinese army starts pursuing, they must leave the blocking positions. If we fight, we won’t suffer too much!”

Earlier, when he followed the corps leader out of the barracks, Miura Mahei suggested breaking through the river. Although the river was a little deep and the river was very cool, there were no traces of the Chinese army on the other side of the river, and no attackers were seen on the camp.

After finding some tools to cross the river safely, use the river water to wash away the poisonous gas that was previously stained with. After getting ashore, find a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack to establish a position, and then wait for the attacker to come and attack.

Even after crossing the river, you can find some dry firewood to light a bonfire and dry the uniforms of the officers and soldiers across the river. Even if you can gather a squadron around you, Mahei Miura believes that these attackers may not dare to pursue them.

In addition, it is not far from dawn, and even if the attackers start pursuing, Mahei Miura can delay time. After dawn, he will exchange fire with the anti-Japanese troops in the wild, Mahei Miura believes that the Japanese army has more chances of winning.

"Master Miura, according to the battlefield regulations, you are now the supreme commander of the army, so just give the order!"

"Okay! You guys, in order to have the opportunity to avenge the captain of the corps and to preserve the battle flag of our corps, I ordered everyone to return to the camp first. Then dismantle the tent to build a crossing tool, and retreat to the other side of the river first."

"Hi!"

The reason why they chose to return to the camp first was that they needed some tools to cross the river, even if many Japanese soldiers could swim. But after crossing the river, they still needed to keep some supplies, weapons and ammunition.

If they abandon their weapons, ammunition and supplies, they will be dead. Another advantage of returning to the camp to cross the river is that they can conceal their attempt to cross the river and break through, so that the ambushers around them dare not pursue them easily.

No matter what, the military camp is still filled with deadly mustard gas. As long as the ambush is not stupid, I believe that it will not easily take risks. But Miura Mahei and others brought gas masks when leaving the camp, so it would be okay to retreat.

As Miura Mahei ordered the retreat, Sun Yuanqi, who was shortening the artillery distance, took advantage of the explosion to see the Japanese retreating, and said with confusion: "What are these Japanese doing? Why did they retreat to the military camp?"

"Company Commander, the wind was blowing just now. We had hit the poisonous gas bombs in front of the military camp earlier, and it was probably blowing to the back. Do these Japanese devils plan to retreat and hold on until dawn?"

"Who knows! Tell your brothers to save the shells and see what the situation is!"

"Yes, company commander!"

The Japanese army who had left behind the corpse on the ground, which had previously broken through collectively suddenly returned to the camp. This situation really made Xu Mingzhi, who was supervising the battle, confused and couldn't figure out what the Japanese sold.

When the Japanese retreated safely to the barracks, Miura Mahei said with satisfaction: "You guys, it seems that my guess is right. Our sudden retreat will definitely make the Chinese army commander suspicious. At this time, we cannot stop and act immediately!"

"Hi!"

I thought the shells would blow up behind me, but I ran back to the camp but found that the other party's artillery fire had not hit the military camp. I breathed a sigh of relief and followed the officers who broke through Miura Mahei and quickly built a tool to cross the river.

The body of the infantry captain who had already died in battle was also carried back by Miura Mahira. As for the other Japanese devils who died in battle, Miura Mahira had no time to restrain themselves, so they could only wait for the battle to see if there was a chance to restrain themselves.

Two teams were sent in advance to build blocking positions on both sides of the crossing river area. The remaining Japanese troops began to throw the wooden boards of the barracks onto the silt passing by the river, so that they could form a wooden bridge so that the subsequent troops could jump into the river and swim to the other side of the river.

After everything was ready, Miura Mahei said quickly: "Hurry! Take action immediately, don't be afraid of the cold. If we swim to the other side of the river, we can make a fire and our clothes will be dry soon. The most important thing now is to swim to the other side of the river!"

After saying this, Miura Mahei asked the squadron leader who had always followed him to lead the team into the cold river. Some supplies, weapons and ammunition that had been converged from the camp were also placed on wooden rafts and pulled to the other side of the river.

What made Miura Mahei happy was that the river was not turbulent, so that soldiers who could swim could easily swim to the other side of the river. When the first group of soldiers successfully arrived ashore, Miura Mahei no longer hesitated and jumped into the cold river.

Feeling the smell of the river soaking the skin, Miura Mahei couldn't help but take a breath, but said in his mouth: "Persevere, your hands and feet move, don't be afraid, swim quickly, it will be safe to swim across the river!"

He shouted to the soldiers who jumped into the river beside him, taking the opportunity to divert his attention, and also encouraged the officers and soldiers who broke through. Not long after, with the response of the soldiers who were calling for ashore, Miura Mahei arrived safely on the other side of the river.

He carried the body of the corpse leader who was in charge on the shore, and Miura Mahei quickly said: "Send people immediately to conduct reconnaissance on both sides. During reconnaissance, remember to pick up some dry firewood. There is a small hillside there, and we will make a fire there to support the follow-up troops!"

"Hi!"

The Japanese who had already arrived ashore felt that the clothes soaked in the river were extremely heavy, and they also felt that the temperature on their bodies was slowly disappearing. But they knew better that they could not stop at this time and had to move to maintain their body temperature.

If you really stop and don't move, your body that cools down will definitely become extremely stiff. As these Japanese devils take action, everything seems to be going smoothly by Miura Mahei.

At this moment, Hu Biao and his party, who were raiding along the river bank, soon saw the flashlight appearing on the other side of the river. When Hu Biao saw this scene, he said in his heart: "No! The Japanese really broke through the river, and they ran so fast!"

"It's such a cold day, breaking through the river shouldn't feel good!"

"No matter how bad it is, it's better than losing your life! The guard platoon will speed up the progress and prepare to attack the Japanese military camp!"

"Yes, battalion commander!"

With Hu Biao's orders, the guard platoon soldiers who followed Hu Biao to clear out the river bank and fled the Japanese army, also began to speed up the encirclement and suppression. When Hu Biao was about to arrive at the Japanese camp, he soon saw that there were not many Japanese soldiers surrounding the encirclement.

"Phoneman, blow the charge! Order the entire battalion to attack! The guard platoon will follow me to attack the Japanese military camp!"

He ordered the guards to blew the trumpet's trumpet and brought the gas mask he was carrying. Hu Biao took the lead in killing the Japanese military camp. Unfortunately, the Japanese military camp had already left the camp at this time.

When Hu Biao rushed to the river where the Japanese retreated, the Japanese who had already established a blocking position on the other side of the river immediately detained the machine gun trapping machine. Facing the Japanese's machine gun fire, Hu Biao could only avoid the edge for the time being.

In view of this situation, Hu Biao quickly said: "Sandao, take a few brothers, watch here, and others, and follow me to clear out the surviving Japanese devils in the camp. Tell brothers, don't touch the things in the camp casually, be careful of poisoning!"

"clear!"

In fact, when Hu Biao led his men to the river where the Japanese army broke through, Miura Mahei, who was standing on the other side of the river, also saw Hu Biao and his party chasing him wearing gas masks. Seeing Hu Biao really dared to rush into the camp, Miura Mahei was secretly grateful.

If he hadn't made a quick decision and returned to the camp and broke through the river. If Hu Biao and his group were entangled, they would have really been wiped out on the other side of the river. Although there were not many troops withdrawn this time, they had at least saved the gang's battle flag.

In addition, the troops that successfully crossed the river with him also had nearly two squadrons with more than 400 people. As for the rest of the troops in the corps, they were afraid that there would be more danger at this moment. Thinking of this, Miura Mahei also felt a deep chill.

"After returning to the division, I must know who commanded this night attack, and I must avenge this revenge!"

While saying this, Miura Mahei suspected that the attacker tonight was likely to be the group of defeated soldiers who fought during the day. If this is true, then this group of defeated soldiers may become a major concern in the rear of the Japanese army in the future!
