145. Withdrawal
After receiving the order to withdraw the troops, Commander Miao and Regiment Commander Yang immediately gathered their troops and assembled in the area of Chabagou. The dozens of people who were injured were all head Yang. This is because the southern slope where the seedling head is located is a shady slope, and the trees grow tall, there are several large elm trees 30 meters high, and there are many poplars and elms 10 to 20 meters high. Devils worship God and fear taller creatures. Therefore, when the devil threw the bomb, he threw it all the way to the northern slope and the village, probably because the trees were too tall to drop. They dropped more than 20 large and small bombs, and more than 10 of them were dropped near the devil's position. The soldiers of Onoshita's three brigades were so angry that they set up machine guns and grenadiers to fight the plane, but they were stopped by Onoshita's three scolding in Japanese.
Commander Miao was very sad about the current result, so he asked Deputy Brigade Commander Ji and Director Han to go back to the brigade headquarters first, and later Brigade Commander Ding also called, and the two commanders Han Ji were under the protection of the guards, and they retreated to Yonghu Yingzi first from the back of Monkey Head Gou. In the past few days, due to many contacts, Feng Jingwu, a native of Houtougou Village, has helped the defenders many times, and he did not mention the remuneration before the support. Every time someone expressed reluctance to go, he took the lead in sending military rations and contributing funds. At the suggestion of Section Chief Li and the approval of Director Han, he was developed as a reserve underground member, and was responsible for the activities of Houtougou and the entire Banzhi Jianchuan area, under the leadership of Wang Yilun. Just now, Comrade Feng Jingwu and his neighbors led and helped them when they came and went.
Deputy Brigade Commander Ji and Director Han and others returned to the Yonghu Yingzi Brigade Headquarters, and Brigade Commander Ding took them into the house. Deputy Brigade Commander Ji briefed him on the whole situation of Fangshengou, and Brigade Commander Ding immediately called Lin Qingshan, commander of the 235th Regiment, and said: "Commander Lin, in view of the strength of the troops led by Motegi, your troops have been unable to defeat them until now. Panlongling Mountain is full of low trees, not as dense as the house body ditch, the devil plane is really coming to bomb, you can't have such a good fate as Miao Yang, the second head of the regiment. Therefore, immediately retreat westward in concealment and assemble in Chuanxindian, where our reconnaissance battalion and other departments will respond. ”
Brigade Commander Ding immediately sent people to the area of Xiaoshangjing to find the Baiji team led by Section Chief Li and inform them to retreat west. He also called Commander Miao and ordered him to send capable personnel to Xiaoshangjing Nanliang, inform the troops of the special service battalion and the reconnaissance battalion to retreat westward in a dense area of trees in the front beam of Xiaoshangjingben Monkey Head Ditch, and carefully bump into the remnants of Motegi's retreat. When they arrived at the west end of the south beam of the monkey head ditch, the reconnaissance devil did withdraw, and then retreated to Chuanxindian. He called the Rehe Special Operations Brigade again and said, "Lao Chu, I am Brigade Commander Ding, and the battle here is over. Although it did not achieve the desired effect, your actions relieved the pressure on Fangshengou and pinned down the defenders around Kogamikyo. I order you to withdraw from the battle at once, conceal from the Huangqingou Mountain to the Huajiagou Mountain, and pursue the main force to the west. ”
Chu Zhenhu said: "Our department executes the order of the brigade headquarters, but the devil's arms are all lost, and it is a pity to throw them away," Brigade Commander Ding said: "Old Chu, carry out the order, and you can't affect ......the main force to retreat west." Director Han took the phone on the side and said: "Lao Chu, no matter how many weapons the devils have, they can't pick them up, it's their trap, if you pick it up, they will definitely surround you......"
After all this was arranged, the commanders of the brigade headquarters held a brief meeting and decided to lead the departments directly under the brigade headquarters after dark, withdraw all positions, take all the baggage, and pursue the field hospital and the wounded transport team to the west.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, when the attack of the defenders weakened, Motegi Mae Zhizhu was really impatient, so he ordered one to stay here to block the defenders under the cover of the woods, and most of them returned to the house ditch, hoping to minimize the mistakes in the house ditch. Why the attack of the 235th regiment weakened, is that the bullets have been stretched. The devil is too, the bullets are already running out, so many machine guns are constantly firing, and no matter how many bullets you bring, you will run out.
Motegi is not only grateful to Okamura Ninji for sending a plane to help rescue Ono Taro United, who strayed into danger, but also very unpleasant. If you want to say that those three planes, the name is the Motegi Flying Team, but how did he ever command the plane? Most of them were planes that cooperated with the flying team of the Tongliao Imperial Army, bombing other places all day long, and other places needed planes more than the battlefield in Motegi. The two times he was able to mobilize by chance were not blown up for various reasons. Let yourself forget about the Motegi Flying Team for the time being.
Shintaro Umei's devils sent by Osaku to pick up Motegi brought them horses, and the chiefs got on their horses and walked as fast as they could. When Motegi returned to the camp, the sun had set. Motegi sat down, and the guards handed him hot water, but he had just taken a few sips and couldn't drink it anymore, so he grabbed the phone and wanted to call outside. Umei stepped forward and said, "General Motegi, you drink saliva first, and then I will report to you on the military situation." Motegi hurriedly drank a glass of water and said: "Umei-kun, this mistake is mainly on me, it is because I am eager to fight, and I fell into the 117th Brigade's trick, and they transferred the tiger away from the mountain. I will ask Commander Okamura Ninji for sanctions, and if the military department and the emperor ask me to cut myself off, I will voluntarily cut my belly and die without regrets. ”
After Motegi finished speaking, his eyes like steel balls shed a few tears. The personnel in the headquarters were all moved. Motegi looked at everyone, smiled sadly and said, "Umei-kun, say it." The guard took a stool, Mei Jing sat down, and said, "Since you led the 17th Wing to drive through the south beam of Houtougou, I have been quite careful about the movements here, and sent plainclothes to spy on the village of Houtougou. They found that the people in that village were very well guarded, and they could not get anything useful for the time being. At this time, gunshots were heard from Panlongling...... It was a phone call from Commander Okamura Ninji, and I intended to remind Commander Okamura Ninji not to wait any longer for our unit to need aircraft support. ”
Motegi sincerely admired and thanked himself as the chief of staff, and said, "Onishi." Umei continued: "General Motegi, since the gunfire in Panlongling has become tighter and tighter, I, as the chief of staff, have always been convinced that the main force of the defenders is in Panlongling, and I have always absurdly thought that the defenders have nowhere to escape, so I went to Panlongling...... Therefore, I ask you to be punished, or to be removed from the post of Chief of Staff of the Fourth Brigade. ”
Motegi smiled bitterly and said, "Umei-kun, the authority of the chief of staff is only to participate in the military aircraft under my command, you don't have to do this." ”
Umei said again: "I didn't send troops to Panlongling to support you because first there were unknown armed forces attacking us on the east side of the barracks, and then defenders also appeared on Kogami Jingnan Mountain, and they kept shooting. In the area of Daxin Duster, there was also an armed force, which intercepted several horse-drawn wagons carrying arms by the imperial army and blew up two wagons. As a result, the imperial army could not take care of each other.
According to the report of our investigators, the defenders who shot on the southern mountain of Kogamikyo seem to be the same as the defenders you see in the ruins of Kogamikyo, and I am very surprised. In desperation, he called Kameda Helpless Osa, and it turned out that he seemed to be laughing with some women. The people passing by outside his camp also saw that it seemed that the entire officers and soldiers of the 7th Wing were laughing with women. I thought that you said that you have also seen teams of flower girls in the ruins, so are those female ghosts all out to confuse the imperial army? ”
Motegi didn't want to admit that the women he met were female ghosts, but on second thought, Shinai said that because of the jellyfish bottle, those female soldiers died there, O, maybe...... However, I saw with my own eyes a luxurious porcelain display town, a busy porcelain processing factory...... Thinking of this, he was very worried, are those flower girls in love with the warriors of my 7th Wing? Could it be that they brought Kameda into the ruins as well?
He grabbed the phone and called Kameda Helpless, who was still teasing with a few women on the phone. It seems that Qi Ma Kameda has not yet gone to the ruins, and his heart is a little calm. As long as the fine porcelain has not been touched, there is a chance that it will be shipped back to Japan. But Kameda violated military law, and for the sake of those porcelain, Kameda must also be brought to justice. Thinking of this, he said: "Umei-kun, prepare the horse, I want to go to Xiaoshangjing to see if there is any Wang Fa ...... their 7th Wing."
When they arrived at the 7th Wing, Kameda Helpless Osa approached the tent, and Motegi judged that there were no women there. Motegi asked Kameda, "Kameda-kun, it's been a long time, and we've been fighting there for a long time, why don't you go and support us?" Kameda said helplessly with a look of grievance: "General Motegi, why don't we want to support you, but we are even worse here, as soon as there is an arms bombed in the east, there are countless flower girls here, and they have to drink with the imperial army." We didn't drink it, and one of them said, "Didn't your general Motegi ask for a jellyfish bottle, and if you don't drink alcohol, I won't give it to you if the jellyfish bottle burns out." ”
As soon as Motegi heard that the jellyfish bottle would not be given, his face turned pale, and he said, "You are stupid, why don't you drink with them, and greatly satisfy their ......."
Kameda said, "General Motegi, that's not all, as soon as those flower girls came, the defenders on the mountain kept shooting down, and we were overwhelmed." Hearing this, Motegi said: "Since you didn't destroy the porcelain ruins, it will be easy to do, no one should say anything about the things here, and when the time comes, we will move everything here to Tokyo, so that all the people in the empire can see the beauty of the ancient china porcelain." ”
There was a porcelain beside him that was not discovered by others, and Motegi was still glorious despite his defeat. He led the guards, bid farewell to Kameda Helpless Osa, and returned to the camp. While instructing the clerk to write down a summary of the battle, he ordered Umei to gather his troops and assemble at him. He had to reorganize his troops and compete with the 117th Brigade, but the 7th Wing couldn't move because they had to guard Kogamikyo......
