Under the Zouma Ridge, Dongshan Village.

He Wenxi walked into the command tent with a telegram and said to Zhong Yi: "Counselor, the devil's second attack on the position in the eastern suburbs of Songyang County was broken up by our army, and this time more than 100 devils were killed. ”

Zhong Yi nodded, and said, "How many brothers did Zhao Hanxing's battalion suffer casualties?" ”

He Wenxi replied: "A total of nine brothers were killed and more than 20 were wounded. ”

Speaking of this, He Wenxi asked again: "Senza, you said before that you would use the arrogance of the devils and underestimate the enemy to make a fuss, but now that Zhao Hanxingying has eaten more than a hundred devils, isn't this a blow to the little devil?" So next, it is impossible for the devil to be arrogant and careless, right? ”

"Not necessarily." Zhong Yi smiled and said, "Human nature is actually very complicated. ”

Speaking of this, Zhong Yi continued to ask, "Director He, do you know how Tian Feng died?" ”

"I know that." He Wenxi nodded and said, "Tian Feng accurately predicted the defeat of the Battle of Guandu, so he was sent to prison by Yuan Shao, after the Battle of Guandu, the jailer said to Tian Feng Mr. Your prediction is true, and the lord will definitely reuse you after he returns, but Tian Feng said that my death is coming, and Yuan Shao really killed Tian Feng after returning to Ye." ”

Zhong Yi smiled and said: "So, there are two possibilities for Yamazaki Youji's reaction, either to learn a lesson, or to be angry, but in my estimation, it is more likely to be angry and angry." ”

He Wenxi asked, "Why is it more likely to be angry?" ”

Zhong Yi said hesitantly: "Because the 116th Division has never fought against the Rong 1st Division, and the old devil Yamazaki Youji has never comprehended the power of the Rong 1st Division, so he will not easily admit defeat!" In fact, there aren't many people in the world who have the courage to admit defeat, right? ”

He Wenxi was silent.

……

As Zhong Yi said, there are not many people in this world who have the courage to admit failure.

Wing Commander Shima Harayoshi of the 120th Infantry Wing may be counted as one, but the old devil Yamazaki Youyoshi is definitely not among them, and this old devil is already annoyed and angry.

So, when Shima Harayoshi reiterated the old words, Yamazaki Akiyoshi's first reaction was not to feel ashamed and correct his mistakes, but to burst into a rage.

"Shima-kun, a small defeat doesn't mean anything." Yamazaki Uyoshi said stubbornly, "I always firmly believe in my own judgment, the Shina army is an army made of sand, and the imperial army only needs to strengthen the offensive, and the Shina army will definitely collapse in a short time!" ”

Shima Harayoshi hurriedly said: "Brigade commander, we can't continue on the wrong path......"

"Yagayalu, are you teaching me a lesson?" Yamazaki Ukichi was furious and said, "The wrong path? Shima-kun, when I fought the Germans in Aoyaku, you were still practicing stabbing in elementary school! So, it's not your turn to teach me what is right and what is wrong! ”

Shima Harayoshi said urgently: "Brigade commander, I didn't mean that......"

"It doesn't matter what you mean." Yamazaki Youjidao, "The important thing is that our 119th Infantry Brigade must take Songyang County in the shortest possible time, and then capture Quzhou before the 130th Infantry Brigade captures Jinhua, and cut off the way for the commanders of the three theaters of China to flee westward!" ”

After saying this, Yamazaki Youyoshi shouted again: "Order! ”

A signal soldier immediately stepped forward and slammed his head.

Yamazaki Youyoshi held his saber and said loudly: "The 109th Infantry Wing continues to strengthen the offensive, and must capture Songyang County within an hour, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

Good guy, Yamazaki Youyoshi, this old devil has added weight again.

It was still before dark to take Songyang City, but now it is within an hour.

Shima Harayoshi's mouth opened twice, and he wanted to persuade a few more words, but in the end he didn't say anything, because he knew that even if he did, it would be useless.

……

Outside Songyang County, the eastern suburbs.

"My goodness!" Lu Enguang screamed, turned back to Zhao Hanxing, who was sitting in the trench and smoked, and said, "Yingzao, come and see, the little devil seems to be annoyed and angry!" ”

"What's the situation?" Zhao Hanxing took off his cigarette, got up and went to the front of the trench, raised the telescope again, just glanced at it, and immediately gasped.

But I saw that at least three squadrons and more than 500 devils had already opened a wide front, forming a wavy front, and rushed towards their defensive positions.

The devil infantry was still a few kilometers away, and the shells had already hit first.

However, Zhao Hanxing and Lu Enguang didn't care, because the intensity of the shelling was not too large.

An artillery bombardment of this intensity will not be hit unless you are lucky enough to carry it to the extreme.

"Damn!" Zhao Hanxing said in a deep voice, "This is a group-sized group charge!" ”

With a group charge of this scale, let alone Lu Enguang, Zhao Hanxing has only seen it twice.

Once at the Hankow railway station, the other at here, and there was no third time!

"Yingza, what now? And put the devils in and kill them with side-fire fire? Lu Enguang even trembled a little when he spoke, and he didn't know if it was because he was excited or nervous.

"Are you a pig's brain?" Zhao Hanxing said angrily, "The skirmish line opened by the little devil is wider than the defensive front of our battalion, how can we use the side fire at this time?" ”

After a pause, Zhao Hanxing said again: "Pass my order, and each company will ......."

"Hanxing, you don't need to fight hard, just put a few shots and retreat to the city!"

Before Zhao Hanxing's words fell, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"What? Withdraw to the city? Zhao Hanxing and Lu Enguang looked back in amazement, and saw that Zhu Liangcheng, the commander of the Rong 1st Division, was already standing behind them.

"Master!" Lu Enguang subconsciously stood upright.

However, before Lu Enguang could get up, Zhu Liangcheng pounced and pushed Lu Enguang to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a shell fell in the trench, and after the violent explosion, the dust kicked up splashed Zhu Liangcheng, Lu Enguang and Zhao Hanxing.

"Master's seat." Zhao Hanxing patted the sand on his body and asked, "Why did you withdraw to the city?" ”

"Where did so much come from, why?" Zhu Liangcheng said, "If you want to withdraw, you will quickly withdraw with the troops." ”

"Yes!" Zhao Hanxing didn't ask any more questions, and immediately turned around and shouted, "Pass my order, each company will release a few shots casually, and when the devil is approaching within two hundred meters, quickly retreat and enter the city!" ”

After speaking, Zhao Hanxing turned around and shouted: "Guard platoon, withdraw!" ”

Then, more than 100 fighters of the guard platoon took the lead in withdrawing from their positions.

After another moment, the three infantry companies in the front line also retreated.
