Chapter 1063 The Independent Brigade Can't Withdraw
A scream rang out.
Immediately after, Wang Yun rushed over with a roar and then hugged Zhou Weiguo tightly.
Zhou Weiguo never expected Wang Yun to pounce on him, and he lost control of his strength, falling to the ground with a thud.
puff...
When Asaka Shurei saw Zhou Weiguo's disheveled appearance, she burst out laughing.
Wang Yun was so frightened that his face turned pale and his whole body trembled.
"How could this be... how could this happen?"
She just went and looked into that matter.
Blood was flowing from all seven orifices, and judging from the soldier's appearance, he was not in any pain at all.
"Can you...can you get up first?" Zhou Weiguo pushed him, but the hug was too tight, and he couldn't push it away immediately.
Wang Yun seemed to sense something was wrong and immediately let go of Zhou Weiguo, wanting to get up and apologize. Zhou Weiguo grabbed her and said, "Do you want to die too? The Japanese are very accurate. Don't think that just because you killed someone on the second line, they won't be able to hit you."
"Brigade Commander, I didn't mean to."
“I don’t blame you.” Zhou Weiguo dusted himself off before picking up the cigarette that had fallen to the ground, taking a puff, and said, “The shockwave and vibration had already shattered his internal organs, but at that moment, he was completely unaware of anything.”
It's too fast. In just a moment, your internal organs could be shattered, and you wouldn't even feel any pain.
"Let's go." Zhou Weiguo waited until Wang Yun had recovered slightly before leading Wang Yun and the others back to the command post.
Not long after returning to the command post, the Japanese attack was withdrawn.
Less than ten minutes later, the sound of bombers could be heard in the air again.
"They're determined to mess with me," Zhou Weiguo said, spitting as he looked at the small black dot that had appeared.
"They probably found out. If they don't eliminate my Independent Brigade this time, they'll be in trouble." Takeshita Shun picked up his teacup to take a sip of water, but after a shell exploded, the teacup was full of dust. He sighed and put the teacup down, then took out the water bottle from his waist and took two sips.
Akiko Nanzo and Tadayoshi Sano also looked up at Zhou Weiguo.
Their analysis was similar to Takeshita Shun's; the enemy was determined to wipe out the Independent Brigade this time.
"Awen." Xiao Ya came over from the communications department and handed Zhou Weiguo a telegram; "Just received news that a brigade of the 1st Division of the Jin-Sui Army in Shanxi is marching rapidly southeast of Luoyang, according to my analysis."
She approached the map, and the people in front of it immediately made way for her.
Xiao Ya pointed to the map; "Advancing from the southeast of Luoyang, I judge that he intends to join forces with the enemy's 3rd Division brigade on our retreat route, and then launch a joint attack on us."
"Damn it, they're quite ambitious. The Independent Brigade is in danger." At the Fifth War Zone Command, Commander Bai, standing in front of the sand table, pointed in the direction of the Independent Brigade after reading the telegram. "The Japanese 14th Division, and one brigade each from the 1st and 3rd Divisions are all rushing towards the Independent Brigade. Adding their original forces, Zhou Weiguo is now facing tens of thousands of troops."
Commander Li, with his hands behind his back, glanced at the enemy and then turned to ask his adjutant, "How many enemies have we annihilated?"
"Sir, according to the reports from various departments..." After reporting the data from the departments over the past few days, the adjutant added, "Of course, one-third of the figures should be removed."
After all, there was some exaggeration involved.
After listening to the data, Commander Bai said, "In other words, the current battle casualty figures do not yet include the figures from Zhou Weiguo's Independent Brigade, is that right?"
"Yes, sir. The number of Japanese troops annihilated by Brigade Commander Zhou's unit has not yet been tallied."
There's no way to keep track of the exact numbers. According to reports from the reconnaissance planes, they're basically engaged in combat every day.
"We've been fighting for several days now. Even though I've given them more troops, I estimate they've suffered heavy losses. I think we can let them withdraw now."
If we don't evacuate now, we might really be unable to get out.
"The objective has been largely achieved. If we include the cleanup afterwards, they can completely withdraw." Commander Li nodded in agreement with the plan.
Both agreed, so the telegram was quickly sent out via coded mail. However, a few minutes later, Commander Bai received a reply from Zhou Weiguo: "They can't withdraw."
The words "cannot be withdrawn" made Commander Bai gasp and ask, "What's going on? Why can't we withdraw them?"
Damn it. If they don't evacuate now, the Japanese will surround them. Although they are currently surrounded, there is still a large gap. They have also deployed troops to support his breakout. If he doesn't leave now, when will he?
"Get me to the Independent Brigade." Commander Bai, without thinking twice, pointed at Lieutenant Li.
Lieutenant Li dialed the number, but the call could not be connected.
"With the war raging, their telephone lines have probably been destroyed long ago, so we can't contact him now. But since he says he can't evacuate, I think there must be other reasons. Instead of guessing, we should immediately mobilize troops and prepare to be dispatched at any time to escort him. In addition, we should leave a large air force squadron to be ready to support his operations at any time."
Commander Bai clenched his fists and nodded; "At this point, this is the only way."
The attack finally stopped. Taking advantage of the lull, the independent brigade personnel loaded machine gun ammunition in a corner, while several medics from the field hospital were busy bandaging the wounded in the command post.
The Japanese attacks were too fierce, and many of the wounded could not be transported down the mountain. Helpless, Zhou Weiguo had to give up part of the command post so that the wounded could rest there.
Click, click, click… click, click…
The crisp sound of bullets being loaded continued incessantly, and no one spoke.
Ammunition consumption was too high. Once the Japanese army attacked, it was a mass charge. Towards the end, there were even suicide squads. Several times, if the troops hadn't reacted quickly, the enemy might have broken through.
Therefore, the most important thing to do is to take advantage of this time when everyone is tired from working to replenish their energy and prepare more ammunition for the troops.
"Brother-in-law." A voice made Zhou Weiguo, who was discussing the next steps with Takeshita Shun in front of the map, look up and see Fan Xiaoyu entering in a white coat. He threw the pencil in his hand on the map and shouted angrily, "Who told you to come up in a white coat? Do you want to die?"
Fan Xiaoyu was taken aback and ignored the fact that her brother-in-law had yelled at her. She knew that her brother-in-law had yelled at her for her safety.
She approached Zhou Weiguo and looked him straight in the eye; "Don't worry about this for now. I just want to know why the wounded haven't been sent down even though the fighting has stopped."
Zhou Weiguo glanced at the girl, then raised his hand and tapped her helmet. He swore that if she hadn't been wearing a helmet, the slap wouldn't have landed on her head, but on her face.
