Eleven o'clock in the evening.

Li Lei looked at the time, and after sending a telegram to Lao Luo, he withdrew from Wanjialing with the new brigade.

He had already received a telegram from Lao Luo that the Eighth Army had arrived at the designated place.

After the 6th Division arrived at the city of Nanchang, it could launch an attack on the Japanese army.

From Wanjialing to Nanchang City, it takes about three hours.

For three hours, the Eighth Army was enough to catch its breath.

Of course, Wanjialing's position cannot be given up in vain.

The 6th Division must suffer a loss.

It's still the old way, take out part of the grenades of the new 1st Brigade and set them up as pseudo-mines.

When the devil comes up, at least kill his vanguard.

Now in the Wanjialing position, there are still three lines of defense in their hands.

When the Japanese attack, they will definitely shell the third line.

It is useless to lay out pseudo-mines there.

When the time came, it was directly bombarded by the Japanese artillery.

Li Lei ordered the troops to place false mines on the positions of the last line of defense.

The Japanese army passed through the third and fourth lines of defense in succession, and the vigilance was bound to be greatly reduced.

Pseudo-mines are placed there, and the effect is best.

Li Lei ordered the New Third Regiment to carry it out immediately.

Half an hour must be set up.

After everything was done with the new Third Regiment, Li Lei withdrew from Wanjialing with the new First Brigade.

Let the troops move to a place not far from Wanjialing to hide.

After the Sixth Division passed through Wanjialing and arrived in Nanchang, his new 1st Brigade launched an attack from behind the 6th Division.

At that time, the troops of the 60th Army stationed in Nanchang City, the 8th Army, and his new 1st Brigade formed an encirclement of the 6th Division.

Fight to eat him within a day.

Shortly after Li Lei withdrew and withdrew his troops from the position, Inaba Shiro ordered the 6th Division to attack again.

Shiro Inaba is now very angry.

Tonight, Wanjialing must be taken, otherwise, he will really be eaten by Okamura Ningji.

The 6th Division launched an attack.

A violent explosion came from Wanjialing.

One shell after another was hit by the Japanese army on the position of Wanjialing.

The flames are blazing.

The shells fired by mortars and infantry guns drew thin red lines in the air and smashed into Wanjialing.

There was a deafening sound.

The whole Wanjialing is as bright as day.

Explosions are happening everywhere.

The entire position was ploughed by shells.

In order to take Wanjialing, Inaba Shiro sent out all the remaining shells in the division.

As long as Wanjialing is taken, the baggage troops behind will soon be able to send ammunition.

So this time Shiro Inaba directly ordered the troops to carry out saturation bombing.

After several rounds of bombardment, the 6th Division went on the offensive.

The devils all over the mountains flocked to the Wanjialing position.

Light and heavy machine guns fired out strings of bullets with a roar.

In order to successfully capture Wanjialing, the Japanese army once again organized death squads.

Many devils even drank Zhuangxing wine.

When the devils rushed to Wanjialing, they found that the opponent's third line of defense was empty.

Didn't see a single one.

What's going on?

The Japanese death squad stood there, staring blankly at the empty position, and for a moment, a little confused.

A flash of inspiration flashed in the mind of a Japanese soldier: "Hurry up and retreat!" The other side is about to bomb this place!! ”

As he spoke, he took the lead and withdrew.

He remembered that the other party had come here during the day today.

Tricked them all into position, and then covered with fire.

It's too lethal.

When the other devils heard this, they also retreated.

Evacuated to safety.

But ten minutes passed.

Twenty minutes passed.

There was no movement at all on the position.

It's quiet.

The attacking forces of the Japanese army again entered the third line of defense.

Nothing.

The other party is, retreated?

The excited Japanese soldiers hurriedly planted the plaster flag on the position and danced with their hands.

Aha, the other side was frightened by our attack and retreated on its own.

Shiro Inaba, who received the news of the attacking troops, was very surprised.

The other side retreated?

What's going on?

The battle during the day was obviously so fierce.

Moreover, they held Wanjialing, and there was really no reason to retreat.

Is there any conspiracy on the other side?

Shiro Inaba thought about it, but didn't understand the meaning.

His chief of staff furrowed his brows and said, "We have been attacking Wanjialing for several days. Maybe it's their troops, which are insufficient.

In order to preserve the living forces, it is necessary to retreat.

The reason why they fought so tenaciously during the day today was to prepare for a retreat at night.

In this way, our troops will not chase after them. ”

This way of retreating is normal.

In order to retreat safely, many troops will show a posture of not retreating before retreating.

Then take advantage of the gap between the opponent's preparations to attack again, and slip away.

The purpose of this is to prevent the opponent from knowing his true intentions, so that he can retreat safely.

This time, that's exactly what it should be.

Shiro Inaba looked at his chief of staff.

Then I thought about it for a while.

Is that really the case?

"Order your troops to attack the opponent's fourth line of defense at once. Let's see if there are any troops there. ”

Shiro Inaba did not lose his mind.

His puppy's eyes twinkled, pondering whether the Chief of Staff's words were right or not.

Soon, the attacking troops came with the news that the fourth line of defense in Wanjialing was still empty.

The other party must have retreated.

"Why do you think the other party suddenly retreated?" Shiro Inaba tried his best to suppress his excitement and asked his chief of staff.

As an old devil, Shiro Inaba is always vigilant.

The other party just retreated, there must be a suitable reason, right?

It is impossible to retreat for no reason.

His chief of staff said: "Division commanders, I think, they are not strong enough.

Garrisoned in Nanchang, there was only one army of the other side.

Although the total number of troops is larger than ours, its combat effectiveness is much worse.

After several days of fighting, the troops stationed in Wanjialing suffered heavy casualties. I estimate that there are only 2,000 left.

Reinforcements from the other side arrived yesterday.

It is very likely that this force will be the last force stationed in Nanchang City.

Our fierce attack made the other party feel that Nanchang could no longer be defended.

That's why they sent all the troops in Nanchang City.

After confronting us, they quickly retreated. ”

The analysis of the chief of staff of the Japanese army is very reasonable.

Shiro Inaba nodded slowly.

This explanation is unassailable.

Since it is like this: "Order the troops, directly attack the last line of defense of the opponent." If there is no one there either, it means that the other party has really retreated. ”

Although Shiro Inaba agreed with the chief of staff's words, he always felt unsteady in his heart.

But why he is not down-to-earth, he can't say.

Soon, news came from the devil.

The attacking troops received bombardment by false mines set up by the opposing side.

There were few casualties.

But the positions were still empty.

"Hahaha, they really retreated."

Hearing that there was a pseudo-thunder on the battlefield, Shiro Inaba finally smiled on his gloomy face.

This shows that the other party has really retreated.

They no longer have the ability to shell, most likely because the ammunition consumption is too great and is gone.

So you can only use a few grenades to make a small move.

Otherwise, they could be covered with artillery.

Now it seems that their artillery fire during the day was so fierce that it was completely the last madness.

Wanjialing, in the end, it was still fought.

The Sixth Division immediately sent a report to Okamura Ninji, saying that it had taken Wanjialing.

And prepare to immediately launch an attack on Nanchang City.

Okamura Ninji, who received the news, was overjoyed.

Wanjialing has finally been taken down.

In this way, their chances of winning are one more point.

As long as Nanchang is won again, Changsha will be in his bag.

Okamura Ninji planted a small plaster flag on the map at the place of Wanjialing.

"Order the Sixth Division to attack Nanchang City immediately, and be sure to take it within a day.

In this way, our plan to besiege Changsha will be successful. ”

Okamura Ninji is in a good mood.

Although there was an accident in Wanjialing.

But in the end, it still fell.

This is not much different from his plan. It seems that this war is back on the right track.

At this time, the headquarters of the Eleventh Army, Tiger Boy had just received news that the Eighth Army had arrived at the predetermined location on time.

The new 1st Brigade has withdrawn from Wanjialing.

Deputy Commander Luo's troops have all withdrawn into Nanchang City.

Now, as long as the Japanese Sixth Division advanced another thirty miles to the north, it was in their pockets.

Tiger Cub is obviously in a bit of a nervous mood.

Whether it can eat the Sixth Division this time depends on this.

And Deputy Commander Luo, who was stationed in Nanchang, was nervously looking at the map.

According to intelligence, the 6th Division of the Japanese Army had already crossed Wanjialing.

is marching to Nanchang City.

Aggressive.

It seems that Nanchang City is bound to win.

Whether he can eat the Sixth Division this time, he is really a little worried.

After all, it is rare to eat a division of the Japanese army in such a formation.

Don't fail to eat people by then, and then break your own teeth, it will be a shame.

The march of the 6th Division was fast.

Li Lei watched the Sixth Division rush to Nanchang City, and hurriedly followed quietly from behind with the new First Brigade.

And the Eighth Army, on the other hand, was ready to attack.

A wide net has been rolled out.

Shiro Inaba was smug at this time.

Starting from Wanjialing, their troops marched all the way without encountering a single resistance.

Not even a single unit has been encountered.

This shows that the 60th Army has really retreated.

Inaba Shiro even thought that Nanchang City might be an empty city now.

According to his chief of staff's analysis, there should be no troops stationed in Nanchang City.

This made Shiro Inaba even more anxious.

If this is really the case, then his troops will be able to occupy Nanchang City immediately.

You can earn back the face you lost.

"Tell the troops, full speed ahead!" Shiro Inaba was already imagining his high-spirited appearance standing at the head of Nanchang City.
