Chapter 918: Tokugawa Detachment

The artillery bombarded the crowd of devils intensively, and the little devils on the ground were blown up in groups.

After receiving the evacuation order, the devil officers and soldiers fled to the back in a hurry.

The position was full of imps fleeing in embarrassment, and the enemy desperately stayed away from the explosion point.

From time to time, flares are fired in the sky, and the little devils on the ground have nowhere to escape, no matter where the little devils flee, the shells will bombard them like a shadow.

The retreating little devil soldiers were like sacks, bombarded into the air by shells one after another.

The shock wave of the cannonballs raged, tearing the body of the devil soldier into stumps and severed arms.

Shrapnel and rubble flew everywhere, and all the little devils around the explosion point were splashed, and the enemies fell one after another.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Ahh......h

The sound of shell explosions accompanied by the screams of devils was endless.

The artillery of the security regiment was in full swing, rows of shells streaked across the night sky, and bombarded the fleeing enemy in all directions.

One of the little devil's artillery positions has been destroyed, and the range of the devil's artillery fire in the distance is simply not enough, so the little devil charging on the front line can only be ruthlessly tortured by the artillery fire.

The little devil soldiers who were attacked by artillery fire were embarrassed to lose their armor and retreat without any formation.

In order to survive, the enemy discarded the weapons and ammunition in his hands, and the road to the rout was full of abandoned enemy corpses.

Many of the little devils were only injured and did not die, but the devil soldiers only cared about running for their own lives, and they couldn't control the wounded at all.

Li Hong saw the defeated little devil in the telescope, and immediately gave the artillery unit an order to extend the firepower.

The artillery unit of the security regiment quickly adjusted the firing angle of the artillery and re-aimed it at the target in front of it for firing.

The artillery of the security regiment bombarded the escape route of the little devil indiscriminately, and the shells flew down in waves.

The devil soldier completely collapsed, and his mouth screamed and cursed angrily.

"Yaga, damn the Chinese artillery!!"

"Kill all the hateful Shina artillery !!"

The little devils were crushed by artillery fire, and under the repeated blows of artillery fire, the enemy was all scattered.

After more than ten minutes, Li Hong informed the artillery unit to stop the shelling.

The little devils in the distance are all scattered, and it is a waste of shells to shell again.

The devil's attack at night can be said to have been hit hard by the security regiment, and the enemy suffered at least five or six hundred casualties.

Taking advantage of the fact that the little devil was temporarily stunned, the artillerymen of the security regiment began to transfer the artillery positions.

Subsequently, Li Hong and the security corps troops evacuated to a mountain road a few kilometers away.

The mountain road is the only way for the devil's reinforcements, and the soldiers of the security regiment take advantage of the dangerous terrain of the mountain road to ambush.

After the battle, the divisions reported to Tokugawa Sukeo the casualties of the troops.

After listening to the casualties reported by his subordinates, Tokugawa Sukeo said angrily: "Yagayalu, how can this be, where did the soldiers of China come from such a strong artillery offensive......"

So far, Tokugawa Sukeo didn't know that it was the security team that came to reinforce him.

Soon after, Okamura sent a telegram directly to ask how the Tokugawa detachment's offensive was going.

"Report to Your Excellency Dazuo, a telegram from the military department!"

The devil's messenger sent the translated telegram to Tokugawa Sukeo.

After reading the contents of the telegram in his hand, Tokugawa felt an unprecedented pressure in his heart.

"Your Excellency, Commander Okamura personally asked us about the results of the detachment, did we report tonight's battle situation and losses to the military headquarters?" Several devil officers asked the detachment leader what he meant.

Tokugawa Sukeo thought about it and did not tell the military headquarters the news of the defeat at night.

The detachment was defeated as soon as it was formed, and it was not sure that it would anger Okamura Ninji.

At this time, the devil staff officer next to him asked, "Your Excellency Dazuo, are we going to continue to attack the military positions in China?" ”

Tokugawa Sukeo thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "No, we can't continue the offensive anymore, immediately collect the defeated troops of all departments, and let the troops recuperate and recuperate." ”

"Ha Yi !!"

The devil officers nodded and left the command headquarters.

Tonight's artillery battle completely scared Tokugawa Sukeo, and such a fierce artillery attack had never been seen before.

The artillery is inferior to the Chinese army on the opposite side, and if it continues to attack, it can only be cannon fodder.

……

After a few hours, the officers and men of the 1st and 5th Battalions of the Security Regiment had set up various fortifications and firing points near the mountain road.

Li Hong led his subordinates to carefully inspect the positions of each battalion and company, and then found a hillside as a headquarters.

The soldiers quickly built a defensive wall near the headquarters, and the signal corps was responsible for establishing communications.

Li Hong is well aware of the nearby terrain and does not lay mines under mountain roads, which is not his combat style.

Soon, he picked up the phone and called the front-line troops.

After receiving Li Hong's instructions, the front-line troops sent a company of officers and men to lay mines on the mountain road.

The soldiers ran down the mountain road with various tools and boxes of mines and various explosives on their shoulders.

Soldiers worked on mountain roads with digging tools, and they laid a large number of anti-infantry and anti-tank mines......

The next day, just after dawn, the Japanese Tokugawa detachment launched an artillery bombardment of the Chinese positions.

The Japanese concentrated all their artillery, and five or six tons of shells were used alone.

The Japanese suffered such a big loss last night, and the devil's artillery bombarded non-stop, fiercely retaliating against the defenders on the position.

Although the devil's artillery fire was fierce, the defenders on the position had already withdrawn.

Li Hong stood on the commanding heights of the hillside, looking at the position of the devil's shelling from afar, with a sneer on his face.

If the little devil commander knew the elaborate battle plan, and spent so many shells, and the opposite position was empty, he would probably vomit blood in anger.

The artillery fire of the devils lasted for almost half an hour, and the positions in the distance were almost razed to the ground.

In this attack, Tokugawa Sukeo pressed all the treasures up, and the Japanese army dispatched chariot troops, not only that, but the little devil also organized a death squad of 200 people.

More than a dozen chariots of the devils opened the way in front, and the soldiers of the devil's death squad charged behind the chariots, and the rest of the devil's infantry followed.

Originally, the little devil soldiers were ready to fight a bloody battle with the Chinese army, but what the little devil officers and soldiers did not expect was that they easily occupied the Qilin Peak position.

As soon as the Devil's front troops occupied the position, the front commander called Tokugawa Sukeo and reported on the situation on the position.

"Report to the detachment leader, there is not a single soldier on the position, and the soldier must have run away......"

"Nani? All the Chinese troops were evacuated? ”

When Tokugawa Sukeo heard the news, he was not happy, on the contrary, he was suspicious in his heart, and secretly wondered if the Chinese army would have any plans.
