After a pause, Gangcun Ningci said again: "In this way, order the 3rd and 6th Divisions to withdraw the main force, leaving only a few troops, and continue to encircle and suppress the remnants of the New Fourth Army."

I think that at this time, the main force of the New Fourth Army, which was surrounded by the imperial army, should have little left. ”

"Your Excellency Commander is wise!" A group of devil staff officers have made a big fuss.

However, the chief of staff of the devil, who was carrying the rank of major general, frowned and said with some concern: "Your Excellency Commander, since it has been concluded that the Tiger Ben Regiment is in Huoshan County, will there be some shortcomings with only the strength of the 3rd and 6th divisions?" ”

"The Tiger Ben Regiment was severely damaged by the imperial army in Gushi County, and its vitality was greatly damaged!

Not only did they suffer heavy casualties, but they also lost nine out of ten light and heavy weapons.

During this time, our imperial army has cut them off from the country. The connection of the main forces of the army.

Even if they can be replenished in terms of troops, they will not be replenished in terms of weapons and materials.

Therefore, even if the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Ben Regiment has improved after the Gushi First War, it will not be improved too much.

With the strength of the 3rd and 6th divisions, it is enough to destroy them! ”

"But! …… The Imperial Army suffered far more casualties in the Battle of Gushi than China. Military high! ”

"That's right!" After a pause, Gangcun Ningji said again: "But don't forget, the 3rd Division and the 6th Division have been replenished after the end of the war!" ”

Seeing that the chief of staff seemed to have to admonish, and Gangmura Ninji also felt that his worries were not unreasonable, after all, every defeat of the imperial army was the result of carelessness and underestimation of the enemy.

So he said: "Of course, Chief of Staff, your worries are not unreasonable, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, I will request the Front Army Headquarters to transfer the 28th Division to me for command and participate in this battle to encircle and suppress the Tiger Bun Regiment!" ”

It is worth mentioning that in order to capture Wuhan, the 9th and 16th Divisions, which previously belonged to the command of Okamura Ninji, have been stationed in the Wuhan area and are no longer subject to his control and deployment.

At present, under Okamura Ninji, only the 3rd and 6th divisions, as well as a number of directly subordinate units, can be deployed.

At this time, the phenomenon of insufficient Japanese troops had already begun to take shape.

After the First World War, although the 3rd and 6th divisions of the Japanese army were replenished with new troops, their overall combat strength was much weaker than at the beginning.

Therefore, after such an admonition from the chief of staff, Okamura Ninji also felt that in order to ensure that the Tiger Regiment was annihilated and no more accidents would occur, more troops had to be transferred to participate in the battle.

…………

After receiving the order, the devil soldiers of the 3rd and 6th divisions of the Japanese army withdrew one after another, and even the troops who were pursuing the independent regiment of the New Fourth Army took the initiative to stop the pursuit.

In this way, it happened to give the various units of the independent regiment that were on the verge of collapse a very rare respite.

The devils who besieged Tong Lingshu and them were greatly reduced.

In the end, only a little more than a brigade was left to continue the siege on them.

Obviously, the devil thinks that this New Fourth Army is no longer enough to pose too much threat to them, so naturally he will not leave too many troops behind.

And in order to end the battle as soon as possible, these Japanese troops, under the order of a Nakasa officer, finally launched a cluster charge towards the lonely mountain where Tong Lingshu's headquarters was located.

The Tong Ling Book Department had long known that it was only a matter of time before the little devils attacked.

Therefore, combat readiness has long been made.

Relying on some favorable terrain, several defensive lines of fire were constructed.

Maybe the little devils didn't take the Tong Lingshu Department in their eyes, or maybe these little devils were eager to get orders to Huoshan County, so this time, the little devils didn't even have a tentative attack, so they directly launched a general attack.

Nearly 2,000 devil soldiers, under the cover of light mortars, grenadiers, and light and heavy machine guns, rushed towards the top of the lonely mountain like locusts in transit.

When the Devil Pioneer entered the 150-meter attack range, Tong Lingshu decisively gave the order to attack.

To be honest, at this distance, the fighters of the independent regiment simply could not accurately and effectively hit the target.

But there is no way, if you let these little devils get closer, I am afraid that before they have time to fire, the devils will rush directly.

Fortunately, the independent regiment was funded by Yang Chen, and it suddenly had a lot of light and heavy machine guns.

At this time, more than 30 light and heavy machine guns opened fire at the same time, and the dense bullets formed a huge crossfire network, and the little devils who were charging forward were put down in one piece.

The rest of the little devils saw that the situation was not right, and had to find suitable cover nearby to hide.

The Separate Regiment temporarily disintegrated the first wave of the Imps' charge, but also exposed all the points of machine-gun fire.

Annoyed and angry, the devil artillery immediately adjusted the firing of Zhu Yuan, and aimed the muzzle of the gun at the light and heavy machine gun fire point of the independent regiment.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom! ……”

The gunnery of the devil artillery was extremely accurate and accurate, and the hit rate was almost more than 50 percent.

Many shells hit the target accurately, and the violent explosion blew up the machine gunners of the independent regiment, even with guns.

Several rounds of rapid firing were carried out, and at least 10 machine gun positions of the independent regiment were eliminated, especially heavy machine gun positions.

This was also the result of the fact that the independent regiment realized that the situation was not right and decisively shifted the machine-gun positions, which allowed it to retain almost half of the light machine guns, otherwise the losses would have been greater.

Although the rest of the shells did not hit the machine-gun positions, they also fell on the positions of the separate regiments, inflicting casualties of varying degrees on other fighters.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the devil machine gunners immediately opened fire on all their power and completely suppressed the firepower of the independent regiment.

And the rest of the devil infantry charged again.

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da! ——”

"Dada ——”

Just when the situation of the independent regiment was extremely critical, gunfire suddenly broke out in the rear of the devil.

A devil lieutenant crawled with a roll, and hurriedly ran to the devil Nakazuo who was supervising the battle in front, and he didn't even have time to sort out his hat, and reported in a panic: "Report ...... Report to Your Excellency! Enemy...... Enemy reinforcements are coming! ”

"Nani? Reinforcements? How can the enemy have reinforcements? ”

The devil Nakasa was surprised, because even if the army withdrew, the rest of the troops also left a lot of imperial troops to clear the remaining enemy troops.

It stands to reason that at this time, it is impossible to have reinforcements.

After thinking for a moment, the devil Nakazo shouted, "They, how many people came?" ”

"It's dense, it's countless, and their firepower is so fierce that they have either light machine guns or submachine guns in their hands.

At this time, the artillery position has been captured by the enemy, and they are killing in this direction.

Your Excellency Nakasa, the majority of the troops have withdrawn! Ours, let's withdraw our troops quickly! ”

"Boom!"

"Boom! ——”。

As soon as the second lieutenant of the devil finished speaking, a few shells fell not far from everyone's side, and the violent explosion did not cause any casualties to the little devils, but it scared them a lot.
