"Your Excellency, are you okay?" Sakata looked nervously at Heaven Osa, if God died here, his promotion path would be gone.

"Well, Baga, hiss, my arm is injured, it hurts my tendons, and now my right arm can't wait, Sakata Nakasa, you immediately lead two brigades of people to reinforcements, I'm here to delay the enemy. ”

"Platoon commander, the devil has divided his troops, what should I do?" The soldier who went to inquire about the news immediately came back to report when he saw the devil's division of troops.

"Continue to hide, don't worry, we are just delaying the devils, I estimate that the regiment commander and they have almost successfully retreated, and the devils in the airport were led away by Song Lei, there should not be many devils in the airport, otherwise the airport would not have been blown up so quickly. ”

"Platoon commander, you have a point. ”

"Report to Your Excellency Dazuo, the Airport Guard Wing Deguang Daisa has called, the airport has been attacked by the enemy, the plane has been blown up, Deguang Daisa asks His Excellency Dazuo to surround the enemy. ”

"Yaga Yalu, that waste of Deguang, relying on his status as a nobleman, has achieved nothing, and now he has caused such a big loss to the empire, he should be sent to a military court. ”

"Your Excellency Dazuo is angry, you know the relationship between Your Excellency Deguang and the division, and we should cooperate with Your Excellency Deguang according to our humble duties. ”

"Hmph, just do as you say. There is no need to divide the troops, let the first and second brigades fan out to search, and don't let a single branch slip away. ”

"Hayi"

"Bobcat, why didn't the devil go forward, it looks like he was going to search in the forest next to him?

The lynx looked through the glasses, and also felt that something was wrong, now they were not far from the devil, but they didn't dare to shoot, the devil's grenadier is not a vegetarian, and if you shoot at the devil at night, you will definitely die.

Chen Yunzhang, Bobcat, and Zhang Long didn't know what the devil was going to do, and they didn't know that the devil didn't plan to support the airport, but to destroy them.

At that moment, a green light flashed in the sky, and then exploded, especially in the dark night.

"It's the signal of the head of the regiment, if you succeed, withdraw," Chen Yunzhang said in a low voice

"The regiment commander has succeeded, retreat, cheap devils" Song Lei unwillingly glanced at the disabled devils.

"Withdrawn"

"The regimental commander withdrew, and so did we"

"What's that, Sakata-kun"

"Your Excellency Dazuo, I think it's the enemy's signal flare, and combined with the call from Your Excellency Deguang, I think it's a signal for the enemy to retreat and leave. ”

"Sakata-kun, you lead the first brigade, and the second brigade immediately marches in the direction of the signal flare, striving to encircle the people of China with that fool of Tokumitsu. ”

"Hayi"

Zhou Tao led people to fight and retreat, but the devil bit very tightly, but he still took the time to send a signal.

"Brothers, shoot, fight, let the devils follow us and lead them into a trap. Chen Yunzhang ordered dozens of ** to spew out tongues of fire, and the devil's attention was really attracted, Chen Yunzhang and others were shuttling rapidly in the forest, and the devil was chasing after him.

"There is a trap ahead, everyone be careful, follow me" Chen Yunzhang smelled a pungent smell, knowing that this was a secret signal left by the bandits, and the trap was not far away.

Chen Yunzhang led everyone to carefully avoid the trap, knowing that he was relieved until he heard the screams of the devils, a devil accidentally stepped on the trap, and his left foot was instantly trapped, and the whole person was hung upside down on the tree, and several other devils stepped forward to help, but he didn't expect to step on a deep pit with a small leg thick, and the bottom of the pit was a sharpened wooden stick that passed directly through the soles of his feet, and there were bursts of miserable howls.

A devil with a plaster flag on his gun used a bayonet to cut the rope that was hanging upside down on the devil's feet on a tree, but as soon as the rope was broken, the grenade at the other end rose white smoke, but in the dark night, the devil did not see it. About three seconds, with a bang, five or six devils flew out.

Although there were not many traps temporarily arranged by the bandits, they played a sluggish role, and Chen Yunzhang and others retreated calmly.

The three teams of people ran almost non-stop, and at almost 12 o'clock in the night, Song Lei was the first to arrive at the meeting point, then Zhou Tao, and finally Chen Yunzhang.

Because it was night and the devil was not familiar with the terrain, after chasing for nearly 1 hour, the devil withdrew unwillingly.

"Are you all here?" Zhou Tao asked.

"It's Done"

"It's Done"

"Count the number of people, report the number"

"One-Two-Three-Forty-One, Twelve-Sixty-Seven"

"One-two-two-fifty-one"

"Sixty-Eight"

Zhou Tao silently calculated, the number of people was about the same, and with a wave of his hand, he led everyone to retreat.

On the frontal battlefield, due to the inferiority of weapons, the Shangguan commander did not take advantage, and the squadron was already a tired division, so there was no need to fight the battle in Nanchang anymore.

Zhou Tao's special combat team blew up the airfield to relieve the pressure on the front line, and the huge fire affected the judgment of the devils, but the impact was limited.

Until the early morning of the next day, the two sides ceased fighting. The morning sun shines on the earth not hope, but the ruins of a place and the corpses that do not die.

Zhou Tao and the special combat team returned to the camp from other roads to join the large army, avoiding encountering devils, and did not return to the barracks until the next morning, Zhou Tao planned to go to Commander Chen to report the military situation, but when he walked into the camp, he found that the atmosphere was not right, and it was very depressing.

I didn't walk a few steps and saw the commander of the 79th Division, surnamed Zhang, Bai.

"Master Zhang, what's going on, this atmosphere isn't quite right?"

Zhang surnamed Bai glanced at Zhou Tao complicatedly and said, "Brother Zhou just came back from a mission on the battlefield, and he doesn't know the bad news, right?"

"Bad news?" As soon as he heard these two words, Zhou Tao had a bad premonition, could it be that he had lost ground again, the devil attacked again, could it be that there was something wrong with Sulphur Creek, and the little sister was still in Sulphur Creek for a while Zhou Tao was in turmoil.

"Brother Zhou, Commander Chen has gone"

"Where did you go?" Zhou Tao asked subconsciously.

Zhang surnamed Bai said with a sad face: "Yesterday we rushed to the place of crossing the river after receiving the order, but because the progress of the troops was different, the commander arrived and led the troops to cross the river first, but at that time the river was almost blocked by the devils, and there were few boats, the army commander led the soldiers to cross the river under the bombardment of the devil's heavy artillery, and personally commanded, at the same time, Liu Yuqing's division commander was divided into two routes, and the 78th Brigade repelled a brigade of the Japanese army, crossed the Yaohu stronghold, and went straight to Nanchang. The 76th Brigade and the 237th Regiment attacked head-on, and the headquarters of the 29th Army accompanied the 76th Brigade. The 76th Brigade crossed the railway line near Nanchang at midnight and encountered the Japanese troops. After repelling the 5th Division and the 78th Brigade, the 101st Division counterattacked with all its might, and the troops directly under the 29th Army and the 76th Brigade were both broken off, and the commander commanded the 76th Brigade to meet the battle on the spot. Division Commander Liu Yuqing personally led a spy company to supervise the battle in the line of fire, and was wounded in the left leg by a stray bullet. The Japanese attacked the 237th Regiment with the main force and strafed the air with fighter planes. The 237th Regiment was cut and scattered in the melee, and the Japanese army captured the commanding heights of the position in the early hours of this morning, and the army commander personally led the spy platoon to the firing line to organize the troops to counterattack the Japanese breakthrough, and was hit by enemy artillery in the fierce battle, and died a heroic death.

Later, the chief of staff of the army, Colonel Xu Zhiqiao, led the army headquarters to withdraw from the line of fire. The 76th Brigade was almost surrounded by Japanese troops, and casualties were increasing. The commander of the 153rd Regiment Xie Beiting was also killed during the battle, and the troops were killed and wounded in the melee, and Cai Dawei led the remnants of the regiment to break through the siege. The morale of the 76th Brigade plummeted after the death of Commander Chen, and Brigade Commander Zhou Zhiqun had no intention of fighting and led his troops to break through. As he spoke, Zhang surnamed Bai shed two lines of tears.

After hearing the news, Zhou Tao was completely stunned, but he didn't expect that in just one night, China would sacrifice a lieutenant general and several regiment-level officers, and the loss of troops would reach a division.

At this moment, Zhou Tao felt very powerless, he would be beaten if he was backward, and now the country has no heavy industry, no heavy artillery, and cannot produce aircraft, so he is bullied by devils and foreign powers.

Zhou Tao held back the sadness in his heart, Chen Baoan's resolute face flashed in his mind, and said to Zhang surnamed Bai: "Then who will only be the army now?"

"This morning, after Commander-in-Chief Luo learned of the siege of Nanchang, he strictly ordered the 16th Division to complete the attack on Shaporttan in a telegram. After receiving the order, Commander-in-Chief Shangguan was extremely discouraged and telegraphed to order the whole group army to stop the offensive, the 29th Army, the 102nd Division, and the 10th Pre-Division blockade the Fuhe crossings and launch them on the Fuhe line, and the 16th Division also stopped the offensive in Shabutan and stood by. ”

Hearing such news, Zhou Tao understood that Chief Luo's order was completely negative, and now the situation was irreparable, and from this moment on, it meant that the plan to seize Nanchang had failed. Chairman Chiang's April offensive had become an illusory bubble amid a series of blunders.
