Chapter 301: The Blockade Is Complete
The devil Zhongzuo continued: "Your Excellency, the ambush troops of the ** people have suddenly increased a lot, and the defenders of Fenglin Town have also lost contact, I am afraid that Fenglin Town has fallen into the hands of the ** people, will our wing transfer and withdraw troops?" ”
"Now there is no point in reinforcing Fenglin Town, the ** people are prepared, and continuing to fight will only increase the casualties of his subordinates."
The captain of the devil wing called the signal corps and ordered: "Order the front troops to act as a covering force, the rear troops will be turned to the front road, and all the troops will quickly withdraw from the battle!"
"Hayi!"
Several devil signal soldiers immediately sent a telegram to convey the retreating message to various combat units.
"Transfer, Evacuate, Transfer, Evacuate!!"
Hearing the order to retreat, the devil's large army withdrew from their positions one after another, and then retreated to the back of the road.
The little devil's retreat was quite tactical, not a chaotic scatter.
The little devils who were originally responsible for the attack and breakthrough turned from attacking to covering, and they fought and retreated, resisting the soldiers of the security regiment step by step.
Li Hong held up the binoculars and saw the little devil withdrawing his troops, so he immediately ordered to stop firing and did not let the troops continue to pursue the little devil.
Fragments of fiery shells were splashed all around the road, and the corpses of the little devils could be seen everywhere on the road, and the little devil company suffered at least nearly 1,000 casualties in this battle.
Fortunately, the little devil commander was smart enough and knew that he had given the order to evacuate earlier, otherwise, the enemy's casualties would have increased, and even the devil wing might have been disabled.
After looking at the little devil who had withdrawn from the enemy's highway for a while, Li Hong put down his binoculars and ordered: "Quickly, clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, and bury the sacrificed officers and soldiers on the spot!" ”
The soldiers of the security regiment acted separately, digging pits and digging pits, rescuing the wounded, and cleaning the battlefield.

Just now, Li Hong didn't have enough storage space for the system warehouse, which will upgrade the system warehouse.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Li Hong let the soldiers rest for half an hour.
Subsequently, they marched along the trail overnight and made a roundabout advance towards the back of the 113th Devil Division.
……
A village twenty kilometers from the south bank of the Huai River, the headquarters of the 113th Division of the Japanese Army.
"Your Excellency the commander of the reporting division, Fenglin Town has been occupied by the ** people, and all the military supplies have fallen into the hands of the ** squadron, the wing responsible for reinforcements,"
An hour ago, Nagao Nakajima, the commander of the 113th Devil Division, received the news that the logistics station had been terminated, and the reinforcements had encountered a lot of casualties.
"Baga Ya Road, waste, all waste!"
Nakajima Nagao was in a hurry in the headquarters, and reprimanded the devil officers in anger.
"You people, as excellent officers of the Empire, can't even figure out which unit is attacking Maple Grove Town, it's just a bunch of rubbish!"
Without logistical support, Nakajima Nagao was angry and angry, slamming his fists on the conference table.
The devil officers in the command were silent for a few minutes, and a devil major general stood up.
"Your Excellency the division commander, according to the report of the Sato Wing, the squadron that blocked them on the highway is likely to be the security regiment."
"Baga, the security team has been defending Bengbu Town, how can it appear in Fenglin Town?" Nakajima Nagao was a little incredulous, and he felt that this matter was very strange.
Major General Devil continued in an affirmative tone: "Your Excellency the division commander, that's right, it was the security regiment that attacked Fenglin Town, except for the security regiment, I don't think there is any army in the entire Xuzhou region that has such strong combat effectiveness." ”
Nakajima Nagao listened to the report of his subordinates and fell into thought.
Nakajima Nagao no longer cares whether it was the security regiment that attacked Maple Grove or not, he is worried that he is more concerned about logistics and supplies.
The 113th Division has a large number of regiments, and the daily consumption is very large, and if there is no logistical supply, let alone breaking through the defense line on the north bank, the devil troops will collapse in a few days.
After thinking about it for a while, Nakajima Nagao ordered the signal troops: "Signal troops, send a telegram to the commander of Central China, the logistics station of the 113th Division has been attacked by the Chinese ** people, and I request Your Excellency the commander to send the air force to support the airdrop of materials......"
The devil communication soldier nodded "Ha Yi", and then sent a telegram to the Central China Command of the Japanese Army according to Nakajima Nagao's order.
……
That night, the Fifth Theater Confidential Section intercepted the news of the Japanese army's airdrop of supplies.
Soon, the 3rd War Zone conveyed the news to the security regiment.
Li Hong originally decided to attack the flank of the 113th Devil's Division at night, but when he learned that the Devil's 113th Division would have an airdrop, he changed his battle plan and asked all the troops to stand by a few kilometers away from the Devil's station.
Two kilometers away from the 113th Division's station, two kilometers away from the devil's station is a wide and flat wasteland.
Early in the morning, the little devil marked obvious markers around the wasteland.
These ground markers are the areas that guide the Devil Air Force to carry out airdrops.
The 113th Division set up a lot of devil sentries a few hundred meters around the airdrop area, and the patrols patrolled back and forth.
Li Hong held a telescope in his hand and looked at the vicinity of the 113th Division of the Devils.
Although the fog was not big this morning, Li Hong could not fully see the various conditions of the devil's station due to the distance of observation.
In order to grasp the movements of the devils, Li Hong had already sent scouts to reconnoiter before.
At this time, two commando soldiers in camouflage hurried back, and they ran to Li Hong to report.
"Report to the group, find the devil airdrop area."
"Great!"
A sly smile appeared on Li Hong's face, ready to completely cut off the supply of the little devil.
Immediately, the commando scouts told the artillerymen the coordinates of the devil's airdrop location.
The artillery of the security regiment set up a good position, and the mortars and MLRS were all aimed at the devil airdrop site.
Two hours later, the sound of an airplane's engine could be heard in the sky.
"Buzz—"
Two Japanese transport planes roared over the ground of the 113th Division.
After a while, the transport plane flew near the devil's station.
The little devils on the ground, seeing the transport plane overhead, shouted excitedly, they gestured and waved their arms at the plane overhead.
The devil pilot circled twice, and soon saw the sign on the ground, and then the devil pilot opened the hatch at the tail of the plane and airdropped supplies.
