Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

Chapter 588: Out of the city, this chess game comes alive

Putting the cart before the horse.

Zhou Weiguo was thinking about how to reduce the losses. When he heard Mingzi say this, he looked sideways and asked, "What do you mean?"

Nanzō Akiko pointed along the map of Yu County and said, "Our independent regiment's strength is offense, not defense. We have always believed that Yu County must be defended, so we have been defending here to the death. However, we can't stop the opponent's attack at all. In this case, why don't we give up Yu County and give it to them?"

"Wait for them to come in and then launch a counterattack?" Zhou Weiguo asked tentatively according to her meaning.

Nanzō Akiko nodded. "There are no obstacles in Yu County. The east and west gates have been destroyed by Japanese bombers. There is no place to defend the city. The only thing we can use is the remaining city walls. If we give them the city walls, we will survive. But if we stay here, they will probably eat us up bit by bit."

"That makes sense. Once we're out of the city, we can fight if we want to, and not if we don't want to." Zhou Weiguo put his hands behind his back and laughed twice, looking at the people present; "What do you think?"

"I have no objection." Fang Shengli was the first to speak. The troops had suffered heavy losses. They would just be beaten here. Also, the tiles and other things in the city could kill people from time to time. Just passing by could cost you your life.

"I don't have any objection either." said Sano Tadayoshi.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Xiao Ya pointed to the map and said, "Awen, these tiles in the city can be used. Arrange some people to dig out the secret passage, and after they come in and rest, detonate the bomb. These tiles will give them a big gift. Besides, our goal is not to give up Yu County, but to let them come in."

Yu County still has to take it back, it is not given to them directly.

"I'll go." Takeshita Shun accepted the task with a chuckle, cigarette in his mouth.

Seeing everyone's eyes on him, he smiled and said, "Who else is more suitable than me? At least when we encounter the Japanese army, I can still fool them for a while and buy time for us to evacuate. If it's you, who can do that?"

Zhou Weiguo can do it, but he has to command the troops. Xiao Ya can do it, but there are no female soldiers on the front line.

Therefore, this task is only for him.

"This isn't a dangerous mission. After the explosion, I can take everyone away in the chaos. Alternatively, you can take the opportunity to launch an attack and we'll pick you up in the city."

Zhou Weiguo knocked on the table and shook his head; "Don't stay in the city, kill him once and leave, otherwise my artillery will cover you, and I don't know where you are. When the artillery is blown up, I will go there to find you."

"alright."

Takeshita Shun nodded without insisting, "Then I'll go get ready."

After Takeshita Shun left, Zhou Weiguo looked at the people around him and said, "Everyone, get ready. We will evacuate tonight."

Boom… Boom… Boom… Boom…

Early the next morning, a large number of Japanese bombers launched another bombardment on the city. Afterwards, the infantry's artillery bombarded the entire Yu County for nearly ten minutes. Only then did the infantry, led by tanks, move towards the city.

The tank in the front was hit by an anti-tank mine made of a mixture of suppressed grenades and explosive packs just after it left the city gate and before it could turn. With a bang, the turret and the flames that were blown into the air directly ignited the soldiers next to it, and another was blown five or six meters away before falling.

A few soldiers, unable to bear to see their colleagues who had formed into fireballs in such miserable condition, stepped forward and used their bayonets to send away these soldiers who were screaming so eerily.

The city was quiet, but from time to time, one could hear the sound of troops stepping on mines when occupying the city.

After waiting for nearly an hour, Hata and Seya finally received the news sent from the front.

The defenders of Yu County abandoned Yu County.

"It seems that they are no longer able to do it." Seya Hikaru said to Hata beside him, holding the command knife tightly in both hands.

Compared to Seya Hikaru, Hata suffered even greater losses. He was almost killed. If he had not evacuated quickly, he probably would not be standing here at this moment.

They both knew why the two brothers were together; this was an opportunity given to them by the General.

"Yes, they are indeed in trouble, but we still have to be careful. This independent regiment is not so easy to deal with." Hata added with deep feelings about the independent regiment; "Compared with other armies, they are too insidious and shameless."

"You are right. That is why the two aviation brigades assisted us. From the beginning of the war to now, Nayu County has been bombed into ruins. I don't believe that they can have many troops left under such circumstances."

"Let's go, first enter the city, and tell the military that we have successfully occupied Yu County, and ask for the next battle plan."

"What?" Commander Bai stood in front of the map and looked at the adjutant beside him. "What did you say? Yu County was lost."

Adjutant Li also did not believe the news, but the intercepted telegram said that the Japanese army had occupied Yu County.

"Yes, sir. This is the message we just intercepted." Adjutant Li handed the message to Commander Bai.

Commander Bai finished reading the message and shook his head. "I don't believe this news."

He pointed at Adjutant Li and said, "Go ask the telecommunications department. I don't believe that Zhou Weiguo would let the entire regiment die in Yu County. This is not his style."

Chief of Staff Wu also did not believe the news. With the weapons and equipment of the independent regiment, it was impossible for him to be defeated in just three days. Although he was facing two detachments and two battalions of air force of the Japanese army, the Fourth Battalion was also dispatched.

By the way, the 4th Squadron had eight fighter planes shot down in an air battle with the enemy the day before yesterday, so it had to stop fighting.

But even so, he just like Commander Bai didn't believe that Zhou Weiguo was killed.

Zhou Weiguo's independent regiment was well aware of how powerful it was. They had once single-handedly defeated two enemy regiments with a force that was as strong as a sunset peak, and their pursuit of the 14th Division was like a tiger descending from the mountains. It was impossible for such a force to be completely wiped out by the enemy in a few days.

"I don't think it's necessary. Let's wait for news. I think if you try to contact him now, you may not be able to get in touch with him." Chief of Staff Wu stopped Adjutant Li who was about to leave and said to Commander Bai.

Can't get in touch?

Commander Bai hesitated for a moment and said, "You mean he changed his battle plan and gave up Yu County."

"It should be. In fact, haven't you discovered a problem? This problem is not only for us, but also for Zhou Weiguo and others. It is an unavoidable loss." Chief of Staff Wu picked up the teacup from the side and handed it to him.

Problem? Officer Bai, with his hands behind his back, looked at him and asked, "What problem are you referring to?"
