Although Yamazaki Volley and Nakamura Masao hurriedly commanded the attacking Japanese troops to retreat urgently, it was already too late at this time. I saw that more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers of the 42nd Wing of the Japanese Army who were attacking lost some cover after the tank was blown up, and they were immediately hit by the new regiment of soldiers guarding the trenches behind the barbed wire fortifications, and suffered heavy casualties.

The Japanese soldiers who were retreating in a hurry did not expect that their tanks would be killed by a new group, and they received an order to retreat in a daze, and they were in confusion when they retreated.

"Retreat, retreat!" Yamazaki, the commander of the 41st Wing of the 21st Brigade of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army, shouted several waves of Japanese heralds, and hurriedly ordered the troops to alternate with each other to cover the retreat, and his voice was smoking.

However, after all, the devil of the 42nd Wing of the Japanese Army is an elite unit under the command of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army, and most of the Japanese soldiers of the units under the command of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army at this time are veterans who have fought for many years, and their combat quality is very impressive.

As soon as he saw that the other side had already killed his own tanks, and several waves of heralds came from the rear, ordering the attacking troops to alternate with each other to cover the retreat. Therefore, the Japanese troops of the various infantry battalions of the 41st Wing of the Japanese Army immediately carried out the retreat procedure and covered the retreat behind each other.

A few minutes later, more than 3,000 Japanese troops, after leaving behind hundreds of corpses, finally retreated to the starting position of the attack.

It's just that when Yamazaki volley personally sent someone to check the battle damage, he got the exact loss statistics results, and his face was suddenly solemn and angry.

At this time, Seishiro Itagaki went out from the field headquarters to the temporary headquarters of Masao Nakamura, and immediately became furious at the sight of the loss.

"Bagayalu, what the hell are you doing here? How many Imperial Army warriors have been lost? Say it! ”

Itagaki Seishiro had already seen the results of the loss at this time, but he still couldn't believe it, and pointed at Nakamura Masao and Yamazaki and asked angrily.

It was impossible for Nakamura Masao to let the wing captain under his command carry the black pot for him, so he immediately said in a loud voice: "Report to Your Excellency, the commander of the division, the seven Imperial Type 94 tanks that attacked were all blown up, and all the tank soldiers were killed. In addition, the headquarters of the 41st Wing that attacked included 481 soldiers of the Imperial Army who were killed in battle, and more than 70 were seriously wounded. ”。

"Bagaya Road, a bunch of garbage!" Itagaki Seishiro said angrily, the attack had lost so many troops in less than eight minutes, and at such a loss, the strength of his two wings would probably be exhausted in two hours.

"Haiyi, Your Excellency the Division Commander, you have lost the high hopes of the empire!" Nakamura Masao and Yamazaki Lingkong could only nod their heads and excuse themselves, looking very nervous.

After all, there are a lot of killings on Itagaki Seishiro's battle array.

At this time, Major General Ueno, the chief of staff of the division on the side, coughed and whispered to Itagaki Seishiro, "Your Excellency the division commander, Li Yunlong is not as rigid in defense as other squadrons. Although this person is under the command of the Eighth Route Army, he seems to be very good at positional defensive warfare. Your Excellency, the commander of the division, I suggest that you stop the offensive and take a look for the time being. ”。

"No way!"

Itagaki Seishiro shook his head and said, "The morale of the army must not be discouraged, once it is discouraged, it will be difficult to annihilate a new group in this weather!" What's more, if we stop attacking, it is difficult to guarantee that the opponent will not take advantage of the situation to counterattack! ”。

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, are we continuing to storm enemy positions? The opponent's position is very tricky, and if we storm it, our soldiers will suffer a lot of casualties just because of the rapid fire of the defensive terrain in formation! ”

Ueno is observing the positions constructed by Li Yunlong's troops, and he can see that the opponent's positions have built layers of defense systems, at least the trenches are winding, and there are many hidden firepower points in each side.

What's more, at this time, the snow is deep, and everywhere is white. Most of the opposing soldiers also wore white trench coats, which melted into the white snow, and the opposing soldiers only waited for their own Imperial soldiers to reach within the maximum range of their firepower before firing.

A set of counterattacks came down, and the soldiers of the Japanese attack suffered heavy casualties. This can be seen from the fact that more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers under the headquarters of the 41st Wing were still counterattacked by the opposing defenders under the cover of seven Type 94 tanks, and the new regiment was an elite unit of the squadron.

Ueno thought that the temporary suspension of the offensive was to adapt to the current situation, and he would first investigate the details of the opponent's position.

However, Seishiro Itagaki disagreed, and Ueno was quite helpless.

I saw Seishiro Itagaki condensed and said, "The army's spirit can only be maintained if it continues to attack, and it cannot stop attacking because the first attack failed." Otherwise, it will boost the morale of the Chinese army! Masao Nakamura! ”。

Hearing Seishiro Itagaki calling himself, Masao Nakamura immediately paused, "Your Excellency the division commander!" Humble! ”。

"Give you an hour to capture the position of Li Yunlong's department and take Li Yunlong's head for me! I have contacted the Imperial Army Aviation Unit at Taiyuan Airport again and mobilized ten bombers to come for reinforcements! ”

Nakamura Masao bowed and said, "Hai, Your Excellency the division commander, obey your orders!" ”。

Seeing that Seishiro Itagaki was in love, and it was an unprecedented heart, Masao Nakamura could only take a heavy lead to the command.

And just as Nakamura Masao was about to urgently dispatch troops to leave, suddenly a violent whistling sound came from the opposite side.

Seishiro Itagaki and several other senior Japanese commanders gathered at the headquarters of Masao Nakamura were all Japanese officers with rich combat experience, and they knew very well what this whistling scream was!

"It's not good, Your Excellency the division commander, lie down quickly, the Chinese army is under artillery fire!"

Among the several devil officers, Yamazaki volley was the most sharp and fast, and hurriedly shouted, pounced on Itagaki Seishiro to protect the old devil. Several other devil officers fell to the ground, clutching their heads.

However, the whistling shells did not fall in the headquarters where Seishiro Itagaki and others gathered, but roared and smashed into the Sangqian River. I saw mortar shells of more than 80 millimeters smashed on the pontoon bridges erected by the Japanese army on the Sangqian River; because the Japanese army had explored the most likely sections of the river where the pontoon bridges had been erected in advance, and because Duan Peng personally led the soldiers of the special combat team to ambush and reconnoiter clearly, he contacted Wang Chengzhu's mortar, who was on standby at any time in the rear, to open artillery bombardment.

Two makeshift pontoons, made of wooden boats and planks, were quickly blown to pieces.

"Your Excellency the Division Commander, Your Excellency the Division Commander! The big thing was that the pontoon bridge was blown up, and the two hundred imperial soldiers guarding the pontoon bridge were also killed and disabled, and almost all the troops were wiped out! ”

Soon, a Japanese soldier made an urgent report to Seishiro Itagaki with a very frightened expression. At the time of the report, several sections of the pontoon bridge were still being bombarded by Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire, and it was clear that the pontoon bridge was going to be completely blown up to cut off the rear road of the Japanese army!
