"Don't retreat, order them to hold their positions on the south bank!" Masuda Kentai, who came back to his senses, was expressionless, and the devil staff officers of the several wing headquarters around him couldn't see the old devil's gloomy expression in the night.

Kusunoki Kotaro was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then walked into Masuda Kenyasu's side and whispered: "Your Excellency Osa, the 1st Infantry Brigade of the South Bank Position has lost two squadrons of strength in Shiamisho. Although the defensive position in the area of the southern port of the railway bridge is said to be more than 600 imperial warriors holding their positions, they are fighting very stubbornly. But if they continue to fight like this, they will all be wiped out in the South Bank region. That's too many casualties for us. ”。

After a pause, Kotaro Kusunoki continued to whisper: "It's better to concentrate the rest of the south bank and withdraw to the north bank, and we can hold the position on the north bank." ”。

Masuda Jiantai was silent for a few seconds before Shi Shiran smiled bitterly: "At this time, I can't retreat!" Chief of Staff, look at it! Li Yunlong's artillery unit has already been divided into a part and used mortars to intercept the rear of our blocking troops on the south bank of the defensive position at the south port of the railway bridge. Even if they retreated north in time at this time, it was already too late. Once retreated, it was bound to be intercepted by the enemy's artillery fire, and with heavy casualties, there was no meaning. ”。

Kotaro Kusunoki turned his head at this time, picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction of the southern end of the railway bridge over the Kuchiquan River.

I saw the artillery roaring, and the defensive positions of the Japanese troops on the south bank near the railway bridge were heavily bombarded by the artillery fire of the independent brigade. The flames of the explosion had already illuminated the entire south bank area, especially the area near the southern port of the railway bridge, which was guarded by the Japanese army.

"Hiss!!"

The fierce shelling of the independent brigade, the Japanese defenders on the south bank who were bombed had no chance to retreat at this time, and Kotaro Kusunoki gasped.

It's just that the remnants of the Japanese army on the south bank called to ask for a retreat to the north, and Masuda Kentai would not allow them to retreat. I am afraid that for the remnants of the Japanese army on the south bank, the morale of the army will inevitably collapse.

However, Masuda Kentai was right, at this time, under the fierce artillery fire of the Independent Brigade, there was no chance to retreat north. Even if he ordered the remnants of the devils on the south bank to retreat north, in the middle of the railway bridge, they would inevitably be heavily bombarded by the mortars of the independent brigade, and the casualties of the bombing would be exhausted.

You know, the railway bridge is so strong that an ordinary 70 mm infantry gun can't blow it up. Even a 105 mm howitzer could not blow up the railway bridge, so once the remnants of the Japanese troops on the south bank retreated north, the independent brigade could completely use artillery and mortars to intercept the remnants of the Japanese troops on the south bank retreating north.

Even if it is withdrawn, Masuda Kentai knows that there will not be many people coming back!

Therefore, taking into account various circumstances, Masuda Kentai finally chose to abandon the remnants of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 313th Wing on the south bank.

"That's it, Your Excellency, the 1st Infantry Brigade has been wiped out. For the morale of the army, there is a big blow. Kusunoki Kotaro smiled bitterly in a low voice.

Masuda Kentai waved his hand and said: "This is a matter of no choice, call Ichiro Okuda, the captain of the 1st Infantry Group on the south bank, and inform the wing headquarters of the decision!" Tell Okuda that in order to be able to hold out until the 77th Brigade of the 33rd Division, which was densely transported north, to the rear of the Independent Brigade, we need to hold out for at least two hours. Now the battle on the south bank is less than half an hour, and they must be allowed to hold on to the south bank for at least half an hour or even longer. It's a death order! ”。

"Alright, Your Excellency Dazuo, obey your orders!" Kusunoki Kotaro had a sad face, their 1st Infantry Brigade was an elite brigade to which the wing belonged, and it was good at positional defense and fortification.

It's just that I gave up like this, which made Kotaro Kusunoki very heartbroken!

And when Kotaro Kusunoki personally picked up the field phone of the wing headquarters and directly called the captain of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 313th Wing of the Japanese Army on the south bank to give the order, the remnants of the Japanese army on the south bank were under fierce attack by more than 3,000 independent brigades.

"Boom, boom!!! Boom Boom Boom !! ”

"Eight grid tooth road, resist, flank, flank, then go to a squad, up, block the enemy, kill!" Search the e-book

"Tutu Tu Tu !! Tu

......

The sound of gunfire, shouts of killing, and the shouts of little devils are intertwined in the somewhat narrow area of the south port of the Kouquan River Railway Bridge, which is less than a few miles east and west, and less than 300 meters deep.

It has to be said that after the remnants of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 313th Wing of the Devils lost in Xiamizhuang, they were hit by the artillery fire of the 1st Regiment of the Independent Brigade occupying Xiamizhuang and the flank fire of light and heavy machine guns. It is still holding the defensive position of the southern port of the railway bridge, and will not retreat.

However, after the higher ground of Xiamizhuang was captured by Zhang Dabiao's troops, Zhang Dabiao's troops flanked and captured the defensive position on the right side of the south port of the railway bridge, and instantly captured the captain of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 313th Wing, Ichiro Okuda, with a heavy face.

At this time, the old devil Ichiro Okuda was lying dead in the ring fortifications built with sacks and sandbags, and carefully poked his head out to look ahead.

The defensive positions of the old devils bombed by the artillery fire of the independent brigade were scattered, and the corpses of the devils who were shattered by the artillery fire were everywhere. The corpses were everywhere, and in the night, the flames of the explosion were very clear.

"Captain, the wing headquarters has called back!" At this moment, in the midst of a hail of bullets, a devil soldier ran up and hurriedly shouted to Ichiro Okuda.

Ichiro Okuda immediately risked his body and ran towards the bunker headquarters less than ten meters behind.

"Missy-misi? What the? Chief of Staff, hold on? Ichiro Okuda personally heard a call from Kotaro Kusunoki, and the words inside made Ichiro Okuda despair.

To be honest, Ichiro Okuda is not afraid of death, but under the heavy attack of the independent brigade, the artillery fire has destroyed all the artillery support to which the brigade belongs in his hands. And the artillery brigade of the 313th Wing on the north bank of the Kouquan River has been suppressed by artillery fire from the artillery battalion of the independent brigade.

At this time, it is no longer necessary to hold on to the south bank. It is better to withdraw the remnants of the devil defenders of the 1st Infantry Brigade on the south bank, and hold the position on the north bank after gathering on the north bank, which is also a good result in the end.

Just from what Kusunoki Kotaro said on the phone, Okuda Ichiro reluctantly hung up the phone in the end.

At this time, the chief of staff of the brigade, Ikeda Okujiro, who was beside Okuda Ichiro, said in a condensed voice: "Captain, what did the wing headquarters say?" ”。

"Chief of Staff Nanmu personally called me and ordered the rest of our 1st Infantry Brigade to hold their positions on the south bank and not to retreat north. Your Excellency the Commander secretly dispatched nearly 10,000 elite members of the 77th Brigade of the 33rd Division to the north from the Zhongtiao Mountain front, and the elite of the Imperial Army has passed through the north directly from Taiyuan, and has been rapidly transported north to support our resistance to the independent brigade. Therefore, the wing commander ordered our brigade to hold the position on the south bank and not to take a step back. ”

Ichiro Okuda laughed miserably, this is the worst outcome.

Hearing this, Ikeda Okujiro's face turned pale, and to be honest, he Ikeda Okujiro didn't want to die.

It's just that Masuda Kentai's military law is strict, and once he disobeys orders on the battlefield, it is trivial to shoot them at any time.

That's it, that's it!

Then stick to the area on the south bank of the railway bridge!
