Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Chapter 171 A Brutal Breakout

"Changfeng, are you sure we can break out from the south?" Wang Yaowu was surprised.

His previous plan was to break out directly from the north mountain. After all, there was only one battalion of Japanese soldiers there, and it would be easier to escape through the mountains and forests. He didn't expect Gu Changfeng to make such arrangements.

"It's just to the south. I've arranged for the special forces to pick us up and break out from the south and then take another route."

In fact, it was not easy to break through among thousands of Japanese devils. Gu Changfeng's decision was so skillful and bold that even Wang Yaowu could not have thought of it, let alone the Japanese devils.

"You..." Wang Yaowu didn't know what to say. This decision caught him off guard.

"However, how about this? I'll lead my troops directly to the south, and you guys will evacuate from the north. This way, perhaps it will be easier for you to break out."

Gu Changfeng suggested.

Too many people would be a burden to him, so it would be better for him to go alone.

Moreover, he had special forces on the periphery to cause chaos among the Japanese, so breaking out was not as difficult as he had imagined.

Wang Yaowu thought for a while, then nodded emphatically and said, "Then be careful."

With Gu Changfeng attracting the Japanese firepower, it would definitely be easier for him to break out.

As for whether Gu Changfeng's troops could break through, based on his understanding, Gu Changfeng did not have the confidence to do so, and it would be strange if he could choose to break through in the direction of the Japanese's heavy troops.

There was still a lot to do regarding the evacuation, and both sides began to make their own preparations.

Gu Changfeng directly ordered the German heavy artillery to be blown up. This thing has completed its mission.

The main reason is that it is too heavy. If you carry it when breaking out, you will have to risk your life. It will definitely not work if it doesn't explode.

However, the Katyusha, a heavy weapon loaded on a vehicle, made it difficult for him to handle it.

If I bring it, the target will be bigger. If I don’t bring it, I really can’t bear to destroy it directly.

This thing doesn't look like German heavy artillery. After all, I spent so many points to buy it, it would be a pity to destroy it.

Seeing Lu Daya's hopeful eyes, Gu Changfeng gritted his teeth and said, "Order each of them to mobilize 30 Type rifles for protection, and each of them will have a Turtle Box."

"Lao Lu, if the situation becomes critical, you must make the decision for me. Don't joke with the lives of our brothers."

Gu Changfeng warned.

It was still a mistake. If I had thought of it earlier, I should have let the artillery company go directly to meet up with the special forces, and there wouldn't be so much trouble now.

Seeing that Gu Changfeng had said this, Lu Daya immediately promised:

"My brothers' lives are definitely the most important thing. If it comes to that, I will blow up the car and never leave it to the devil."

"Okay, then you do this." Gu Changfeng gave Lu Daya some more instructions, and then began to wait for news from the special forces.

The Japanese were attacking fiercely at this time, but their artillery shells were not fired at the front-line positions. After all, the battle was intense at this time, and they were afraid of hurting their own people.

At 5:30 in the morning, the special forces launched a surprise attack from the rear of the Japanese army as scheduled, and the sound of gunfire was extremely intense for a while.

It was useless for the Japanese to be prepared. The special forces were very familiar with this kind of surprise attack and only started to take action when they got right under the Japanese's noses.

Boom boom boom!

The artillery company's mortars began to open up, bombarding the Japanese on the position!

The Japanese were stunned, and their companions were constantly being blown away and shot to death.

An area on the battlefield was quickly cleared, and the remaining hundreds of Japanese soldiers in the rear fled back to their headquarters in panic.

"Hurry, evacuate immediately." Gu Changfeng shouted, and people began to run towards the Japanese.

Zhao Ziqing, who had returned, followed closely behind.

"Brothers, follow me!" Huang Zhengkui shouted and climbed out of the trench first.

Soon, soldiers from various companies followed suit.

The Japanese soldiers on the battlefield had been cleared out, and the soldiers charged directly towards the Japanese.

"Bakayarō, are these Chinese crazy?"

Akiyama Yoshiyoshi was in charge of the attack from the south. He did not expect that these Chinese would dare to launch a counterattack in the face of his two battalions and two reserve teams.

For a moment, he was a little confused about what the other commander meant.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, are these Chinese trying to break out?"

The Akiyama Brigade's operations staff reminded.

Akiyama Yoshiyuki was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said, "Amaya-kun, if you wanted to break out, would you choose this?"

Obviously, he was a little skeptical. In addition to a large number of troops, he also had more than a hundred armored vehicles. Even the dumbest commander would not make such a choice.

"Your Excellency the Brigade Commander is right. However, since these Chinese have given up their defense, it also gives us an opportunity."

Instead of refuting Yoshiyoshi Akiyama, the staff officer, Moriki Amaya, began to offer effective suggestions.

"Yoshi, Amatani-kun thinks the same as I do." Akiyama Yoshiyoshi said with satisfaction.

"Order all squadrons to quickly surround these Chinese and leave them all to me."

At this time, Yoshiyoshi Akiyama was very excited. The enemy in the trenches could rely on shooting range and firepower, but these advantages would not be so obvious outside.

He felt that the other side's commander was a little stupid. When he had the advantage, he actually ran out to die!

Isn't this giving him credit?

At this moment, the fighting on the northern mountain suddenly became fierce, and Wang Yaowu led his troops to break out.

Akiyama Yoshiyoshi seemed to understand something and said to Tian Gu.

"Immediately inform the division commander that the Chinese here should be responsible for drawing fire so that the Chunhua Town forces can break out."

"Hi!"

Master Tian Gu bowed happily and then went to make arrangements.

Da da da!

Bang bang bang!

Boom boom boom!

The two sides fought fiercely on the field. Soldiers holding Type 99 rifles began to charge towards the Japanese, and grenade launchers fired shells at the heads of the Japanese as if they were free.

The artillery of the rocket launcher squad directly bombarded the areas where the Japanese were concentrated. The snipers from each company were also not idle, and their targets were almost all Japanese grenadiers and machine gunners.

For a time, the Japanese were beaten back step by step, and coupled with the surprise attack of the special forces in their rear, the Japanese soldiers were unable to organize an effective counterattack.

Gu Changfeng's troops relied on their large number of Type 99 rifles and strong firepower and were not afraid of the large number of counterattacking Japanese invaders.

As for the hand-to-hand combat that the Japs were good at, forget it, he had no plans for that.

Of course, facing such a large number of surprise attacks by the Japanese, the casualties of each company and special forces team continued to rise.

Ten minutes later, the companies and special forces successfully met up and began to cover the evacuation.

"Grenades, throw them all out."

Facing the crazy counterattack of the Japanese soldiers, Gu Changfeng remained calm, killing the Japanese soldiers from time to time with the gun in his hand.

At his command, the soldiers pulled out the grenades from their waists, and in an instant hundreds of melon grenades flew towards the heads of the Japanese.

Boom boom boom!

The violent explosion knocked over a group of Japanese soldiers, and the entire area ahead was cleared.

"Baga, fight back, fight back." A Japanese squadron leader shouted angrily.

Of course, the Japanese soldiers would not let the enemy in front of them have an easy time, and they poured bullets and grenades into each company.

Gu Changfeng's men fought and retreated at the same time, and soon the distance between the two sides gradually widened under the suicide attacks of dozens of wounded soldiers.

"Are these Chinese breaking through on our side?"

Akiyama Yoshiyoshi murmured to himself. He still didn't understand why this army made such a choice.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, these Chinese are trying to escape, we..."

Before Tian Gu Shixi could finish his words, Akiyama Yoshiyoshi shouted, "Order all squadrons to give chase immediately. We can't let these Chinese get away!"

His arrangements were still too late, otherwise even if Gu Changfeng's troops could escape, the losses would be very heavy.

Gu Changfeng was betting that the Japanese would not be able to react in time. At this time, the two sides would distance themselves from each other, and running away would become his area of ​​expertise, and the Japanese would have no way to stop him.
