"Quickly withdraw, if we don't withdraw, we will be surrounded by the Japanese army, and we will leave the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood"! Xue Zizheng persuaded. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Execute my military orders"! Zhang Chong slapped the table and said angrily.

"No, you are risking the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, even if we succeed, we are bound to suffer heavy casualties, and we are powerless to maintain, if we fail, these soldiers will die in vain, as the commander of the three armies, you must consider the overall situation and must not be rash." Xue Zizheng persuaded again.

At this moment, a communications soldier ran in with a telegram and said, "Commander, Commander Lu telegraph"!

Zhang Chong took a look and saw that the telegram written by Lu Han was one sentence: "The whole army retreats, and this revenge will be avenged in the future, and it must not be disobeyed"!

Zhang Chong took a deep breath and didn't urge Xue Zizheng to send a telegram, and said after a while: "Tell Wan Baobang, notify the artillery to suppress, the whole army retreats alternately, and be sure to force the march to Tongcheng at noon tomorrow!"

"Yes"!

After the order was issued, the soldiers of the 184th Division who were defending the artillery suddenly had a riot, many soldiers were puzzled, and many officers were also puzzled, including Zeng Zesheng, who also scolded and said: "What kind of bullshit order, give up the position before you fight?" What bullshit orders, Lao Tzu refuses to carry them out"!

At this time, the phone of the regiment headquarters was remembered, Zeng Zesheng picked up the phone and was about to speak, when Zhang Chong's voice had already come: "Zeng Zesheng, order your department to sit in the follow-up to cover the troops and cover the retreat of the whole division"!

"What? I refuse to carry it out, and we have only been on guard for a day before retreating? Why"? Zeng Zesheng was dissatisfied.

"The new 12th Division has abandoned its position, the strength of a brigade of the Japanese army has captured Tongcheng, we will soon be surrounded, Commander Lu personally ordered the whole army to retreat! If you think about it, you have to execute it!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Chong had already put down the phone, Zeng Zesheng slammed the phone to the ground and scolded: "Bastard! What the hell is this fighting?"

"What should the regiment leader do now?" Li Zuo asked.

"What else can I do? Inform the troops to launch an offensive and prepare for a feint attack on the Japanese army"!

"Yes"!

After the order was delivered, the 1085th Regiment, with more than 2,400 people in the regiment, arrived at the positions of the various departments one after another, ready to attack at any time"!

At the same time, Wan Baobang also resolutely ordered: "All artillery, concentrate firepower to attack the front of the Ninth Division"!

"Yes"!

A moment later, dozens of artillery pieces of the First Army opened fire, and explosions and roared on the Japanese front, and the Japanese troops on the front line were killed and wounded.

In a panic, the Japanese suffered heavy casualties, and they did not expect that they did not go to fight the 184th Division, but the 184th Division actually took the initiative to attack them, and also organized a counterattack while reporting the situation to the division command post.

Looking at the battle report on the front, Yoshizumi Ryosuke was suddenly a little confused, and he couldn't figure out what scene Zhang Chong was singing, and after a while, he said: "Are they unwilling to fail and organize a counteroffensive"?

"Impossible, the terrain here is open, I don't believe they dare to take the initiative to attack our department"! The lieutenant general spoke.

"Don't believe me? I have fought many times with the 184th Division of the Chinese Army, and I know their tactics very well, and it is very likely that they will take the initiative to attack us and fight for the initiative on the battlefield"! Ryosuke Yoshizumi said.

"Aren't you scared by the Chinese army, and the strength of just one division dares to take the initiative to attack our army? I think they are trying to contain our army and make a pretense. Maybe it's just a feint"!

"Report! The Chinese army took the initiative to attack our army"!

"How many"? Ryosuke Yoshizumi frowned.

"Thousands of people, follow-up artillery is still bombarding, there are heavy artillery!"!

Yoshizumi Ryosuke frowned and said, "Pass the order, the troops will hold their positions and closely monitor the positions of the Shina Army"!

"Yes"!

......

At this time, Zeng Zesheng's regiment poured out of the nest, relying on mortars and heavy artillery to take the initiative to attack the Japanese position, and in the sound of artillery, the front of the Japanese position suffered heavy casualties, and the Japanese army did not launch a large-scale offensive on this, but took a defensive position.

Zhang Chong took this opportunity to order the whole army to retreat, the Japanese army's attention has now been completely attracted by the 1085 regiment, but did not notice that the 184th division has quietly retreated, the same way, the 183 division's troops also launched a counterattack, under the charge of the veteran iron army, the offensive of a wing of the Japanese army was repulsed one after another, and the Japanese army began an artillery attack after withdrawing, but at this time the 183 division had left some hats and coats to make a false position to deceive the Japanese army to retreat.

At this time, Li Zuo took two battalions, Lu Hai led a battalion, and Chen Liang led a battalion to launch a comprehensive offensive against the Japanese army, in order to create a huge momentum, the mortars, grenadiers, and heavy machine guns of the whole regiment opened fire one after another, and the infantry also advanced one after another, and the Japanese army also responded, mortar bombardment, heavy machine gun strafing, and dozens of tanks also stopped in front for fire suppression.

However, the feint attack was not really the main attack after all, and the front army troops had to hold on to the Japanese army under the Japanese firepower counterattack, and gradually half an hour passed, Zeng Zesheng estimated that the troops had withdrawn and picked up the telegram and shook it.

"Brigade commander, I am Zeng Zesheng, our unit has completed the feint mission, and I have asked the artillery to provide fire support to cover the retreat of our regiment"!

"Good! You can withdraw with confidence, and I will provide you with an artillery blockade"!

"Yes"!

A moment later, the artillery that was firing at the depth of the Japanese army reduced their range one after another, increasing the density of the bombardment to hit the Japanese front line, and several tanks were hit by heavy artillery and exploded directly, and at this time, the entire regiment of troops who received the order retreated one after another.

When the Japanese finally found out that this attack was just a feint, the front army troops were suppressed by fierce firepower and could not move forward, so they could only watch Yang Hongyuan's four battalions disappear into the night, and similarly, when the Japanese regrouped their offensive and rushed to the position of the 183rd Division, they found that the entire position was empty.

At this time, the troops of the three divisions stationed in Chongyang had already entered the deep mountains and rushed at full speed in the direction of Tongcheng.

Tongcheng defense line, the Japanese attack continued, the Japanese artillery was bombarding almost every moment, dense explosions wave after wave, the entire Tongcheng was in ruins, so far Tongcheng has repelled dozens of Japanese attacks, but it has also paid heavy casualties.

The forward positions have been occupied by the enemy, and the soldiers rely on these ruined cities to engage in street battles with the Japanese army.

The Japanese artillery is still bombarding the position of the 2nd Brigade, and Liu Zhaohai's troops of the 2nd Regiment have repelled more than 20 Japanese attacks since the morning, but because of this, the loss of soldiers of the 2nd Regiment is also very large, and the Japanese army used aircraft and artillery to kill and wound a large number of the troops of the 2nd Regiment, and almost all the fortifications built were destroyed by the Japanese army, and many soldiers had to rely on the ruins and craters to form a defensive line to engage the Japanese army.

In order to prevent the Japanese from breaking through and the soldiers from retreating, Regiment Commander Liu Zhaohai pushed the headquarters forward, almost a few hundred meters away from the front-line troops.

The sound of the cannon finally became more and more thin, and Liu Zhaohai hurriedly ordered: "The devil's infantry is about to come up!" Tell the brethren that they must stick to the last moment of the Tao, and that they will die with them."

Under Liu Zhaohai's encouragement, although the front-line troops suffered heavy losses, they did not retreat, and at this time, in the dark ruins, a series of mortars suddenly sounded on the forward positions of the Japanese army, and a series of explosions also sounded on the positions.

A moment later, the real position was already shrouded in a series of erosive poisonous gases, the soldiers of the 58th Army had never encountered poison gas bombs in the first confrontation with the Japanese army, and suddenly a large number of soldiers were poisoned, and the poisonous gas in their mouths burned their throats and trachea, and many soldiers foamed at the mouth and rolled on the ground in pain.

"It's poison gas! Quickly retreat behind the road and organize defenses"! Liu Zhaohai shouted through the binoculars!

"Yes"!

Just as the herald rushed out, a pair of Japanese soldiers wearing gas masks with four or five tanks had already launched an offensive, and the soldiers who were caught off guard retreated one after another, and many wounded soldiers did not even have time to move, and a few minutes later there were already many soldiers killed and wounded on the front position, and even the forward defense line had completely collapsed.

A Japanese soldier had just stabbed to death a soldier who had not yet died of breath with a bayonet and was about to attack the next, but at this time, on a tall building like ruins, a Hatch Chase heavy machine gun opened fire violently, and the dense rain of bullets almost fell down at a distance of more than ten meters, and more than 20 Japanese soldiers were caught off guard and were killed on the spot by hundreds of revenge bullets in just half a minute.

Just when the heavy machine gun was still in full swing, the main gun of the Japanese tank roared violently, and the surviving heavy machine gun book was suddenly blown up, and the same Japanese tracks crushed the corpses everywhere and rushed towards the front line, and there was rubble and corpses everywhere to explode into the sound of explosions, and the tracks of the tanks even carried a lot of flesh and bones.

At this moment, there was a loud roar on the ground, and a ball of fire lit up under the Japanese tank, and the entire tank was directly overturned, and it turned out that a soldier who still had a breath pulled a grenade when he was crushed by the tank.

Liu Zhaohai looked at the front line that had collapsed in front of him and said: "Inform the soldiers to cover their mouths and noses with wet cloths and prepare to counterattack"!

Saying that, Liu Zhaohai put down the binoculars in his hand, walked directly to the side, picked up a 79 rifle, loaded the bayonet, and put a Burmese knife on his back and said: "From now on, except for the seriously wounded, everyone in the regiment headquarters, including the European uniform, will be put into battle, and the Japanese army must be beaten back"!

"Yes"!

When a young communications soldier picked up a rifle, Liu Zhaohai said, "Xiao Wang! You don't have to participate in the battle, you immediately rush to the brigade headquarters and inform the brigade commander that the front line has been broken through by the Japanese army, and this place can no longer be held, and I will lead the remaining soldiers of the whole regiment to prepare for the charge, and ask him to send reserves to reinforce it as soon as possible"!
