It was less than two hundred meters away from the Kato brigade station.

Li Weizhou and Tie Guanqun were hiding behind a large rock to watch the exchange of fire between the two armies.

Seeing that the mortar platoon that was fighting with the Hankou battalion had killed two heavy machine guns of the Japanese army with just two shells, Tie Guanqun couldn't help but clench his fists hard and yelled yes.

After the two heavy machine guns of the little Japanese were destroyed, the intensity of the fire was greatly reduced.

The two Browning light machine guns and a dozen Thomson submachine guns of the Hankou battalion showed their power, so that the little devils in the field trenches in front of them could not even raise their heads.

Taking advantage of this short gap, the two assault teams of the Hankou battalion quickly approached within fifty meters.

Immediately afterward, rows of grenades rained down on the devil's camp dozens of meters away.

The next moment, the devil's camp continued to bloom with red flames, like flowers blooming on the other side at night, so beautiful that it was suffocating.

At least twenty or thirty field tents were blown up!

Looking at the red flames that suddenly bloomed, a cruel smile bloomed at the corner of Li Weizhou's mouth.

Tie Guanqun also sneered: "Two commandos, more than 100 brothers, 10 grenades each, more than 1,000 grenades, enough for a devil to drink a pot." ”

Li Weizhou snorted and said, "How can you kill one hundred and eighty people!" ”

While the two were talking, the town of Fuyang County in front of them was noisy again.

Immediately afterwards, beams of snow-bright headlights shone from the side of Fuyang County, and faintly, you can even hear the roar of the engines of the side three wheelers and trucks.

Obviously, the devils stationed in Fuyang City have come to reinforce again.

At that moment, Li Weizhou said to Tie Guanqun: "Tell the brothers that you can withdraw!" ”

After a pause, Li Weizhou said again: "Also, this time, don't stop when you retreat one or two kilometers away, you must retreat enough for twenty kilometers, and those who violate the order will be severely punished!" ”

"Yes!" Tie Guanqun agreed, and immediately got up and shouted, "It's all there, withdraw, retreat urgently!" ”

As soon as Li Wei gave the order on Monday, the more than 800 officers and men of the Hankou battalion immediately turned around and retreated, and in just a few minutes, they were completely removed from the battlefield.

The Kato brigade, which was attacked, was still a little frightened and did not dare to pursue rashly.

After another half an hour, Fujii Sueyoshi again led an infantry brigade and a cavalry team.

This time, Fujii Sueyoshi was not so polite, and asked with a dark face: "Kato-kun, what's going on with your first infantry brigade?" How many times did the Chinese army of a few hundred or even dozens of people come to harass at night, and you have repeatedly asked for help from the brigade headquarters? Do you think the brigade commander is too idle? ”

"Don't dare." Katoi said in a panic, "I definitely don't have such thoughts. ”

"Don't have that idea?" Fujii Sueyoshi said angrily, "Then what's going on?" ”

Katoi said in a panic: "Brigade commander, we were indeed attacked by a large force of the Shina Army just now!" ”

"A large force of the Chinese army?" Fujii Sueyoshi stretched out his hand and pointed to the dark wilderness around him, and said angrily, "Please tell me, where is the large force of the Chinese army?" ”

"This ......," Katoi whispered, "they suddenly withdrew again." ”

"Suddenly retreated again?" Fujii Suekichi said angrily, "Kato-kun, you are also a commander, you should know that it is impossible for a large force to quickly leave the battlefield in a short period of time, otherwise when the large army retreats, why leave a small force to be responsible for the rear?" So, do you think what you just said, is it credible? ”

Katoi said in a low voice: "But the firepower of the Shina army is very fierce. ”

"That's true." Fujii Sueyoshi nodded, and said, "I heard the gunfire and explosions just now, the Chinese army is equipped with submachine guns and even mortars, and the caliber is not small!" ”

After a pause, Fujii Sueyoshi said again: "Therefore, we must not let go of this group of Zhina army easily!" ”

After another pause, Fujii Sueyoshi turned around and shouted, "Nakajo-kun! ”

A cavalry officer carrying the rank of Zhongzuo stepped forward in response and said, "Your Excellency General! ”

Fujii Sueyoshi shouted: "You immediately lead the cavalry team to catch up and bite this group of Chinese army!" ”

"Hello!" The devil Nakasa slammed his head, and then turned around and beckoned, and a devil soldier led a horse, and the devil Nakasa turned over and stepped onto the horse, and then pulled out the saber with his backhand, and raised it to the top of his head, and the more than 200 devil cavalry standing behind him immediately screamed.

The devil Nakazo led forward with his saber, and more than 200 devil cavalry swept forward.

Fujii Sueyoshi turned back to another devil and said, "Hasegawa-kun, you lead the fourth infantry brigade to follow, meet the cavalry, if you encounter the main force of the Shina army, report immediately!" ”

"Hello!" Hasegawa Hideki shook his head and turned to leave.

Fujii Sueyoshi breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze to Kato Ichi again.

Katoi subconsciously bent his upper body down and bowed.

Fujii Sueyoshi snorted and asked, "How many casualties were there in this attack?" ”

Katoi sighed, and said with a face full of shame: "This night attack of the Chinese army has caused a lot of casualties to our first infantry brigade, although the specific number has not yet been counted, but according to humble estimates, at least more than a hundred imperial soldiers have been broken, and at least fifty or sixty others have been seriously injured!" ”

"Yaga!" Fujii Sueyoshi said angrily, "How can there be such a big loss? ”

The Chinese were afraid of the first night attack, and Kato's brigade suffered only a dozen casualties.

However, in the second night attack, the number of casualties directly increased to nearly two hundred!

With almost two hundred officers and soldiers, this is almost a full infantry squadron, and who can stand the loss of an infantry squadron in one night?

Their entire independent mixed brigade is only five infantry brigades!

An infantry brigade has four infantry squadrons under its jurisdiction, plus a flag squadron, for a total of twenty-one infantry squadrons, doesn't this mean that after twenty days, the 11th Brigade will be completely mixed into no soldiers?

Kato Ichi said ashamedly: "The main thing is that I didn't expect it, so the casualties are so big." ”

Fujii Sueyoshi immediately remained silent, because not only Kato Iichi, but he himself did not expect that the Chinese army would only attack on a small scale, at most a few shots, and it would be great to shoot a few more indiscriminately, and its purpose was nothing more than to prevent them from having a good rest and launch a strong attack? It doesn't exist at all.

Unexpectedly, the Chinese army actually launched a strong attack.

As a result, the Kato brigade was caught off guard!

At that moment, Fuji Sueyoshi breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Kato-kun, summarize it well, don't be so careless in the future." ”

"Hello!" Kato Ichi said ashamedly, "Brigade commander, please rest assured, if such a thing happens a second time, I will definitely thank His Majesty the Emperor for my humble position!" ”
