far away.
Yuan Shuai's team had already retreated far away.
However, for safety reasons, Yuan Shuai arranged for Fatty's reconnaissance squad to scout from behind.
Little Sweet Potato is the reconnaissance squad leader under Fatty.
He lay on the hillside, looking at the Eagle Fort covered by artillery fire, and couldn't help but grit his teeth and curse.
"The damn Japs are really here to bomb!"
"Listen to the sound of the artillery, it's the Japanese 75mm field gun, 105mm howitzer and 150mm howitzer!"
Although Xiao Digu is young, he is also a veteran who fought in the Battle of Shanghai.
Experienced bombings by various Japanese artillery shells.
The sound of the Japanese artillery shells can also be distinguished clearly.
Although he followed for more than ten kilometers, he could still vaguely hear the sound of artillery shells.
"Boss is really awesome! If we had stayed in Flying Eagle Castle, we would have all turned to ashes by now!"
"What a pity, Feiying Fort, such a good Feng Shui treasure land, was bombed into this state by the Japanese!"
"With this kind of bombing, the top of the mountain will probably be flattened!"
"Squad Leader Sweet Potato, how about we go back and scout to see how many devils have come this time!"
At the end, all the brothers looked at Little Digu.
Little Sweet Potato also wants to see what's going on.
He just got up and wanted to go forward, but suddenly lay down and shook his head.
"The boss said that we were only allowed to stay here to observe. Now that we have heard the sound of artillery fire, our mission has been completed. Everyone retreat!"
"Sweet Potato Squad Leader!"
"Shut up and follow orders!"
Little Sweet Potato yelled angrily and left quickly with the team.
After the Japanese bombing for half an hour, the front Japanese infantry had arrived at the foot of the mountain of Feiying Fort.
However, the tanks were gone, the guns and ammunition were gone, and only the smelly corpses of the Japanese were left.
All the devils gritted their teeth and cursed in anger.
"Baka! They took all our tanks away!"
"So they have already withdrawn and are no longer on Flying Eagle Castle?"
The Japanese relied on their field artillery regiment, so before the infantry reached the foot of the mountain, they ordered the field artillery regiment to fire at a long distance and let the infantry advance forward to speed up the attack.
But unexpectedly, Yuan Shuai and his men retreated.
A battalion leader who rushed forward quickly reported the situation to the regiment commander behind him, and the regiment commander quickly reported the situation to the brigade commander.
Brigade commander Hirakawa Heye gritted his teeth and cursed.
"Bagayalu, we can't let them get away. Immediately notify the First Infantry Regiment to give chase..."
"Pingchuan-kun, don't get excited. General Yuan is too cunning. He is best at pretending to retreat, luring the enemy deep into our territory, and using minefields. We should seize Feiying Fort first and place the artillery regiment in Feiying Fort. In this way, even if they ambush us halfway, we can still use long-range artillery to carry out a covering bombing within a ten-kilometer radius!"
Hirakawa Kazuno snorted disdainfully.
"No matter how powerful the Black Wolf Army is, they are still a group of bandits. I have a brigade and an artillery regiment here. Even if they ambush us halfway, they are no match for me. Notify the First Regiment to give chase, and the rest of us continue to advance towards Flying Eagle Fort!"
After the order was given, the First Regiment immediately ordered the First Battalion to begin pursuit.
But General Yuan had buried a large minefield on the way of retreat.
After the Japanese troops entered the minefield, they triggered the booby traps, causing the booby traps on both sides of the road to explode one after another.
Groups of Japanese soldiers were blown to the ground.
He was so scared that he quickly moved forward with the Japanese behind him, shouting Ba Ga non-stop.
Cluster booby traps were buried along a road more than a hundred meters long.
The road, which was more than 100 meters long, was littered with the corpses and wounded of the Japanese.
There were more than fifty people killed by cluster mines alone, and more than a hundred injured.
Even the Japanese squadron leader was seriously injured in the explosion.
A squadron was almost decapitated by a minefield.
The Japanese captain behind looked at the corpses all over the ground in front of him, his eyes blazing with anger and he gritted his teeth and cursed.
"Bakayaloo, Bakayaloo! Fire at both hillsides ahead!"
The Japanese captain was worried that there were ambushes on the hillsides on both sides of the minefield ahead, so he immediately ordered the company's infantry artillery to open fire.
The Japanese infantry artillery bombarded the hillsides on both sides of the minefield for a while, but no one was killed.
The angry Japanese captain had to stop the bombing and arranged people to go to the front to rescue the wounded, while reporting the situation to the regiment commander.
The news soon reached the commander of the Japanese brigade.
Upon hearing that his entire squadron had been bombed and had lost its combat effectiveness, the Japanese brigade commander regretted it immensely.
If he had followed Miss Miko's advice and not pursued, so many people would not have been lost.
He had to ask his men to withdraw.
However, at this time, the puppet troops rushing towards Feiying Fort also encountered a minefield.
A battalion of puppet troops suffered a company of casualties.
The news of the successive defeats made the Japanese brigade commander so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed.
"Bagayalu, damn Black Wolf Army, just wait for me, when I capture Flying Eagle Fort, I will blow you to ashes!"...
But the minefields arranged by Yuan Shuai are limited.
The road for retreat is a minefield.
There is only one minefield here in Feiying Fort.
The Japs quickly rushed up to Feiying Fort.
However, when the Japanese brigade commander saw that there was not a single Black Wolf Army soldier’s corpse or civilian corpse in Feiying Fort, he became extremely furious.
Half an hour of comprehensive bombing cost him a lot of artillery shells.
Although they carried a lot of artillery shells, he felt that he had been cheated, and being cheated was not a pleasant feeling.
When Xiao Xiami and others were retreating, they heard the sound of the minefield behind them.
The brothers around him stopped one by one and looked back in the direction of the minefield.
"Damn it, it's a good thing we didn't go over for reconnaissance, otherwise we would have easily run into the Japanese!"
"Well, the boss is right, isn't he? In the future, follow orders and don't think about making meritorious deeds. The boss is a charlatan, oh no, a fortune teller!"
Little Sweet Potato smiled happily and continued to retreat forward.
At the same time, he was secretly glad that he did not impulsively turn back to scout.
Otherwise, if we encounter the Japanese pursuers, the consequences will be disastrous.
However, after encountering a minefield, the Japanese gave up the pursuit and focused on transporting artillery.
After all, artillery is very heavy. In addition to horses, human help is often needed to get up the mountain...
Xiao Xiami ran to Yuan Shuai and reported the situation to him.
When Fang Yongqing heard that so many artillery pieces were coming, he was so scared that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Damn it, it's a good thing we listened to General Yuan and evacuated Flying Eagle Castle in time, otherwise we would be doomed!"
"Brother Yuan Shuai, since the Japanese have brought so many artillery, they will definitely occupy Feiying Fort. The area within a ten-kilometer radius is not safe. How are we going to find it in the future... ahem!"
Having said that, he coughed a few times and didn't continue.
Yuan Shuai couldn't help but laugh.
"I originally thought that you followed me because you really regarded me as a brother, but I didn't expect that you were always thinking about the equipment!"
