The battle is over.

In the end, except for the commander of the 9th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, Katagiri Goro, who did not penetrate into the center of the city, led more than 100 remnants to escape from the city desperately, the rest of the devil soldiers were all wiped out by the Tiger Regiment in Kunshan County.

……

Outside the east gate, the hill is wrapped.

Kusaba Tatsumi had no idea about the ambush of the 9th Infantry Wing under his command, and when he heard the fierce gunfire in the city, a cold smile suddenly appeared on the old devil's face.

Xindao, stupid Chinese army, you have actually shrunk all your forces to that corner of the city center, see how you can withstand this attack of the imperial army!

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Nobuaki Ohno, the commander of the 20th Wing next to him, let out a light 'huh', as if he suspected that he had seen it wrong, rubbed his eyes and raised the telescope again.

The next moment, his eyes widened violently, and he exclaimed, "Your Excellency, General! It's Katagiri-kun, why did he retreat from the city with an embarrassed face? ”

"Nani?" Kusaba Tatsuya immediately raised the binoculars in his hand, and as far as he could see, he saw Katagiri Goro leading a rout army, and he was extremely embarrassed and escaped from the break in the castle.

"Yaga! What's going on? Kusaba Chen was already stunned, and the next moment, he suddenly remembered something, his face changed, and he shouted to Ono Xuanming on the side: "Ono-kun, immediately order, prepare to take over Katagiri-kun's department!" ”

"Hello!"

Ohno Xuanming paused heavily, and then quickly left with the adjutant knife at his waist.

……

Kusaba Tatsuha's worries were unnecessary, and the defenders in the city did not take advantage of the situation to pursue.

Therefore, Katagiri Goro's department easily retreated to the sortie position.

Looking at Katagiri Goro, who was frightened and fled back in embarrassment, Kusaba Tatsuru's face sank, and he asked, "Katagiri-kun, how did you do this?" What's going on in the city? ”

"Your Excellency, General!" Katagiri Goro didn't dare to look directly at Kusaba Tatsuya's fierce gaze, and said miserably with his head drooped: "The lowly post department was ambushed by the Shina army in the city, and it failed to live up to your expectations!" ”

"Nani? Ambush? Grass Field Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then roared angrily: "Yaga Ya Road! Didn't you say before that the Chinese army had already retreated its main forces in the center of the city, around the Central Bank building? You guys, you guys, you're still going to be ambushed? Could it be a bunch of stupid pigs? ”

This old devil's lungs are about to explode.

If it is in the wild, the terrain is complex, and the vegetation is dense to be ambushed.

However, entering the city will be ambushed, which is difficult for him to accept.

Nobuaki Ohno, who was next to him, followed up and asked, "Katagiri-kun, what about the other imperial troops of the 9th Wing?" ”

Katagiri Gorou hung his head and said, "It's gone! It's gone, if it weren't for my brave fighting, and the surrounding imperial army desperately helped, I'm afraid that the jade would be shattered in the city! ”

"Shhh - "Rao is Ono Xuanming is mentally prepared, or he can't help but pour a cool breath: "More than 2,000 imperial troops are gone?" ”

"It's all gone."

Kusaba Tatsumi snorted coldly, stared at Katagiri Goro in front of him with an almost cannibalistic gaze, and roared angrily: "Hmph! You are simply a disgrace to the Imperial Army! After such a defeat, the face of my 19th Brigade has been completely lost to you! ”

Kusaba Tatsumi had already thought of the Haikou boasted in front of the division commander Nakajima Imago last night, and his heart was even more angry.

Ohno Xuanming hurriedly comforted: "Your Excellency General, now is not the time to be angry, the enemy is present, let's find out what happened in the city first." ”

Katagiri Goro glanced at Nobuaki Ohno gratefully.

At this point, Kusaba Tatsumi also knew that anger would not solve anything.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, he looked up at the time and saw that the hour hand of his watch was already pointing to 11 o'clock. So he ordered to his chief of staff: "Chief of staff, order all units, hurry up and have lunch!" ”

"Hello!"

Ikeda, chief of staff of the 19th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army, was stunned and immediately ordered to leave.

The order was quickly conveyed, and the devil soldiers of the 19th Brigade and the 5th Heavy Artillery Wing and other combat units began to rest and eat lunch.

Of course, Kusaba Tatsuya, an old devil, was not in the mood to eat, and even with the staff officers of the brigade headquarters, the commander of the 20th Wing, Nobuaki Ohno, the commander of the 9th Wing, and a young man and several lieutenants who fled back with him, they did not have a chance to eat.

Kusaba had called them all to his temporary headquarters.

The crowd took their seats.

Of course, Katagiri Goro didn't dare to sit down, not only him, but also several officers under his command didn't dare to sit down. Like sinners, they stood in a row with their heads bowed in front of the brigade commander Kusaba Tatsuya.

Kusaba Tatsumi had fixed his gaze on Katagiri Goro's face and asked, "Katagiri-kun, tell me everything that happened in Kunshan City before!" Don't miss anything! ”

Katagiri Gorou paused heavily: "Hello! ”

Kusaba Tatsumi had already set his eyes on several other officers of the 9th Wing, and said in a deep voice: "You guys can replenish at any time!" ”

"Hello!" Several devil officers followed with trembling.

Kusaba Tatsuya's gaze was fixed on Katagiri Goro's face again, and he said, "Katagiri-kun, you can talk about it now." ”

"Hello!" Katagiri nodded again: "After the combined shelling and bombardment of the Imperial Aviation Unit and the 5th Wing of the Heavy Artillery, the 1st Squadron of the Inferior Duty Department climbed over the gap in the city and entered the city, and searched the uncollapsed houses and buildings in the city from alley to house.

At that time, the Chinese army was not found in the house, so the first squadron continued to search the center of the city......"

These Kusamba Chen had already known about it before, so he interrupted: "Tell me what happened in the city after the second attack by your main force. ”

"Hello!" Katagiri Goro hurriedly paused, and then continued: "In the second attack, the Ministry of Inferior Posts still searched the houses and buildings in the city house by house, and still did not find any Chinese army.

As a result, the lowly headquarters relaxed their vigilance and rushed directly to the position where the enemy's main force was found in the center of the city. ”

"In the center of the city, the Shina Army built a strong fortification on the basis of a reinforced concrete building, which was the Central Bank building of the Shina that the 1st Squadron had previously discovered."

"For the sake of the humiliation of the defeat of the 16th Division of our Imperial Army yesterday, he led his troops to besiege the building guarded by the Chinese Army, and then launched a strong attack."

Speaking of this, Katagiri Goro seemed to think of something terrifying, and said with a miserable face: "But at this moment, countless Chinese troops actually came out of behind us and from the civilian buildings on both sides of us, and surrounded the lowly subordinates.

The Ministry of Civilian Affairs was caught off guard......"

"Wait!" Kusaba Tatsumi interrupted violently: "Katagiri-kun, didn't you lead your troops to carefully search those private buildings?"

Then how did these Zhina troops suddenly come out of it? ”
