Less than ten minutes later, the 10th Wing of the Devils on this side of the road received a telegraphic order from the division headquarters to retreat.

The devil officers and men of the Osaka Division have always liked to play tricks, and Wing Commander Kawashima Daichi is even more talented.

Before the 10th Wing received an order from the division headquarters, Kawashima Daichi made the various brigades and squadrons ready to evacuate.

Kawashima Daichi's request for instructions from the division and regiment headquarters is actually a procedural issue for instructions and reports from superiors and subordinates, and even if the division and regiment headquarters do not order the evacuation, he will no longer be entangled with the security regiment.

Knowing that he can't defeat the security group, if he doesn't run, the 10th Wing will fall into the same stupid fate as other devil troops.

Because the 10th Wing had already prepared for evacuation, the devil troops retreated quickly and in an orderly manner.

"Hurry up, evacuate, turn into !!"

Thousands of little devils evacuated like a tide.

The enemy abandoned some of the destroyed chariots and other vehicles and supplies, took some of the corpses of devils and wounded soldiers, and hurriedly withdrew from the road.

Some Japanese troops pay special attention to the corpses of officers and soldiers on the battlefield, and the living devil soldiers will cremate the remains of the dead devils and bring them back to their homeland.

Unless the devil's army loses the battle and retreats in a hurry, they really can't recover the body, and the devil will abandon the remains of their comrades on the battlefield.

In a flash of smoke, thousands of little devils disappeared on the road......

"Damn, these devils are pretty fast with their little short legs!"

Li Hong hadn't enjoyed this battle yet, and the little devil took the initiative to evacuate, of course, this is indeed the style of the 4th Division.

Li Hong saw the withdrawal of the 10th Wing of the Devils, and immediately, his eyes shifted to the town of Lengshuipu, carefully observing the movement of the 4th Division of the Devils on the periphery of the town.

At the moment, the Devil's reinforcements have been temporarily beaten away, but it does not mean that the entire Osaka Division will give up on continuing to break through the attack.

The Osaka Division had a different fighting style from other Devil Divisions, and this Devil Regiment had always fought unconventionally, making it difficult for the opponent to grasp its tactical rules.

To put it simply, the officers and men of the Osaka Division are a group of troops with abnormal brains.

In order to guard against any moves by the Osaka Division, Li Hong then sent several scouts to pay close attention to the movements of the Osaka Division in Lengshuipu Town.

……

Less than half an hour later, suddenly, there was a whistling sound of an airplane with the noise of engines in the air.

"Buzz ......"

When Li Hong heard the sound of the devil's plane, he was not panicked at all, just by the sound of the plane's engine, he could judge that there was something wrong with the engine of the enemy plane.

I saw that from time to time there were damaged and smoke-emitting devil planes passing over the highway.

Several enemy planes swayed in the air, and these devil planes in the air had just escaped from the battlefield on the front line in Taierzhuang.

Although there was no more fighting on the side of the security regiment, and the battle seemed to be calm, the battle on the side of Taierzhuang was extremely fierce.

At this moment, the encirclement troops of the national army are fighting fiercely with the 9th Brigade of the devil on the outskirts of Taierzhuang.

In order to gain the advantage and the initiative on the battlefield, the 5th Theater dispatched more than 30 planes to support, and the little devils even sent hundreds of planes.

The group of devil planes in the air circled back and forth over Taierzhuang, and the number of planes covered the sky and the sun like night.

The number of troops of the national army is large, several times that of the devil troops, but the number of aircraft is too small.

The National Army, which does not have air superiority, may not be so easy to eat the 9th Brigade in a short period of time.

Air supremacy on the battlefield is very important, judging from the comparison of the number of aircraft on both sides of the enemy, the devil's plane is several times that of the 5th theater of the national army, and the performance of the aircraft of the national army is also lagging behind the little devil's plane.

The security regiment has several Mustang fighters with superior performance, and the Mustang fighters have lived up to expectations and shot down more than a dozen enemy planes, however, there are too many enemy planes, and the Mustang fighters have limited firepower on board, and it is difficult to deal with so many devil planes.

Relying on air superiority, the devils frequently bombed the positions of the national troops, and the national troops suffered heavy casualties, and the many charges organized were also repulsed by the 9th Brigade.

The national troops on the front line fought very hard, and the devil bombers bombed indiscriminately, and aerial bombs exploded everywhere.

The 9th Brigade of the Devils and the National Army fought fiercely for an afternoon, and both sides suffered many casualties, and the corpses of soldiers on both sides on the position were stacked on top of each other, piled up like a hill.

The 9th Brigade of the Devils suffered more than 3,000 casualties, while the Nationalist troops suffered more than 7,000 casualties.

The Nationalist troops paid such heavy casualties, mainly because they suffered the loss of enemy planes, but fortunately, Li Hong had previously mobilized a part of the anti-aircraft fire to support the front line.

With the support of anti-aircraft weapons, the Little Devil aircraft also suffered no small losses.

The anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns of the front-line national army units opened fire together, destroying and shooting down dozens of enemy planes, dealing a heavy blow to the arrogance of the devil's aviation unit.

The two sides fought fiercely until midnight before ceasing, and looking around the battlefield, the flames were all over the sky, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, the corpses were everywhere, and the blood stained the scorched earth.

Although the national army paid more casualties than the little devils, it was just that the 9th Brigade of the devils was alone, and without reinforcements, it was only a matter of time before the enemy perished.

As soon as the fighting on the front line stopped, Li Zongyao, the commander of the theater who was supervising the battle on the front line, did not order the troops to continue to launch a joint attack on the Japanese army.

Considering that the casualties of the encirclement troops in a day of fierce fighting were too large, and the soldiers on the front line were very tired, the theater command decided to launch a general attack in the early hours of tomorrow morning.

According to the common sense of soldiers, it is night, the enemy has no aircraft to support, and the little devil is physically and mentally exhausted like a continuous fierce battle, and has suffered heavy casualties.

If a night battle is waged now, without allowing the enemy to breathe, this is the commander's combat strategy.

However, the fact that Li Zongyao, commander of the theater of operations, surrounded the enemy but did not attack it, was really contrary to common sense.

The reason why Li Zongyao did not order the attack was nothing more than these two points, one was to let the soldiers recuperate and prepare for the general attack tomorrow morning, and the other reason was that the general attack needed to redeploy artillery and mobilize troops, which required deployment and preparation time.

The 9th Brigade of the Devils is already a turtle in an urn, and the postponement of the general attack until tomorrow is nothing more than a matter of giving the enemy a few more hours.

……

Since the security regiment repelled the 10th Wing of the devils, the 4th Division has not been reinforced.

Li Hong received a telegram from the theater of operations and learned the time of the general attack, and he ordered all the soldiers to cheer up and not let a single fly fly over the blocking position.

The next day, three o'clock in the morning.

At two or three o'clock in the morning, this time period is the time when the human body is most tired and needs to rest.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Zongyao, commander of the theater, dispatched a number of new forces, including one division of the Central Army, two divisions of the Gui Army, two brigades of the Northwest Army, and four artillery regiments, to form a general attack force for the encirclement and annihilation of the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army.
