Chapter 480 My Image
When the regiment commander, Colonel Nobuyoshi Watanabe, sent out more than a dozen soldiers in succession to convey his orders, the sharpshooters discovered something unusual in the area.
In other places, the Japanese soldiers would have buried their heads in the ground to avoid flying bullets. Only in this area did the Japanese soldiers surprisingly stand up and run to both sides as if they didn't care about their lives. This abnormal phenomenon immediately attracted the special attention and shooting of the sharpshooters who were looking for targets.
After lying on the ground and hesitating for a minute, the regiment commander, Colonel Watanabe Nobuyoshi, decided to go to the officers of the troops in person to give orders. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to retreat now. He had to organize the troops well so that he could retreat at the lowest cost.
Otherwise, if the troops suffered too much casualties in this attack, it would be very disadvantageous for subsequent attacks. Not only would I fail to become the first commander to break through the Chinese army's blocking line and reach Kunlun Pass, but I would most likely become the first commander to request support, which would be a great loss of face for me.
The regiment commander, Colonel Watanabe Nobuyoshi, also learned from the experience of the soldiers who were killed while conveying orders. He did not stand up and run, but crawled on the ground to the right front without caring about his image. The regiment commander, Colonel Watanabe Nobuyoshi, felt that such an action might not be consistent with the tall and mighty image of himself in the minds of officers and soldiers, but saving his life was the most important thing now, as for his image, he could only redeem it in other ways later.
The regiment commander, Colonel Nobuyoshi Watanabe, crawled more than 20 meters to the right front. There were some Japanese soldiers who were still shooting. The regiment commander, Colonel Nobuyoshi Watanabe, wanted to find the leading officers here first and let them organize the retreat formation. As long as this side retreated, the surrounding troops would naturally see the retreat of the troops here and would naturally follow suit.
However, when the regiment commander, Colonel Watanabe Nobuyoshi, crawled over here, he looked at the dead second lieutenant in front of him with disappointment. It seemed that he had to continue crawling to the right to find a commander of the unit. Without the commander of the unit to organize and command, it would be difficult for the soldiers to organize an effective retreat formation.
If there is no formation and mutual cover during the retreat, the retreat will turn into a rout and the losses of the troops will become very large.
However, the commander of the regiment, Colonel Nobuyoshi Watanabe, crawled nearly 100 meters to the right, but still did not find a single living junior officer. This frightened Colonel Nobuyoshi Watanabe. Were all the officers in his second regiment shot dead by the Chinese army? How would his second regiment fight in the future? Would he have to command the charge by himself? He could not take care of so many soldiers.
Colonel Watanabe Nobuyoshi, the commander of the regiment, looked at the wounded and dead soldiers lying everywhere on the road, and he felt a very bad feeling in his heart. If this continued, it would be very difficult for his attacking troops in the front to retreat. However, if they did not retreat, it would be basically difficult for the soldiers still in the front to survive.
"Retreat, retreat quickly, fight while retreating, don't stay here any longer, retreat quickly." The regiment commander, Colonel Watanabe Nobuyoshi, yelled at the soldiers around him to retreat quickly. He no longer had time to organize a retreat formation. If they delayed any further, the soldiers would not have to retreat, and they would most likely die here.
After hearing the loud retreat order from the regiment commander, Colonel Watanabe Nobuyoshi, the soldiers around who could hear the order also got up from the ground and quickly ran to the rear, but soon after, they were knocked to the ground by the shooting of the Chinese army. The regiment commander, Colonel Watanabe Nobuyoshi, also shouted quickly: "Don't get up, crawl backwards, don't stand up and run."
At the same time, the regiment commander, Colonel Watanabe Nobuyoshi, also asked two soldiers to crawl over, one on each side, to notify all the surviving officers and soldiers to retreat quickly. Now they had to evacuate as many people as possible.
After giving the order, the regiment commander, Colonel Watanabe Nobuyoshi, also crawled to the rear. He didn't want to stay in such a dangerous place all the time. The shooting accuracy of the Chinese army at this distance was still very threatening. His life was very precious. After all, after winning a few more battles, he would most likely be promoted to brigade commander. By then, he would be among the ranks of generals. He couldn't let any accidents happen here.
After crawling back more than 30 meters, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was already about 230 meters away from the Chinese army's defensive position. The shooting accuracy of the Chinese army would be reduced, and his own safety was guaranteed to a certain extent.
The commander of the regiment, Colonel Nobuyoshi Watanabe, was also preparing to take a rest on the spot. He had crawled a long distance under the high pressure of bullets and shells, and his physical strength and energy were greatly consumed. Now that the soldiers in front were retreating one after another, the commander of the regiment, Colonel Nobuyoshi Watanabe, felt that he could take a good rest and continue to crawl back after recovering some strength.
The regiment commander, Colonel Nobuyoshi Watanabe, lay on the ground and looked around. In his sight, some soldiers were struggling to crawl backwards on the ground, and some soldiers were struggling to drag the injured soldiers down slowly. This made the regiment commander, Colonel Nobuyoshi Watanabe, feel helpless.
Before this, the regiment commander, Colonel Nobuyoshi Watanabe, was full of confidence and led the officers and soldiers of the Second Regiment to launch a full-scale attack. However, less than an hour later, his troops were beaten into such a miserable state, which made the regiment commander, Colonel Nobuyoshi Watanabe, very depressed.
Forget it, I have tried my best. Who knew that the reinforcements of the Chinese army would come so quickly? Moreover, judging from the gunshots from the Chinese army's defensive positions, the reinforcements were the elite troops of the Chinese government. After thinking about it, Colonel Nobuyoshi Watanabe, the commander of the regiment, comforted himself in his heart.
After crawling forward for more than ten meters, the Japanese soldiers stood up one after another and began to retreat quickly to the rear. At this distance, the threat posed by the bullets fired by the Chinese army from the defensive positions was very small. Of course, it did not mean that there was no threat at all. Some soldiers were still hit by bullets and fell to the ground.
The commander of the corps, Colonel Watanabe Nobuyoshi, felt that it would be better for him to be cautious. He had already crawled so far back and didn't mind wasting more energy by continuing to crawl. His image had already been ruined anyway, so he didn't care now.
