Chihe Town, with the help of the barrier of Chihe, the 173rd Division has been guarding here for three days, leaving the little devil at its disposal

No matter how fierce the offensive of the 58th Wing and the 65th Wing was, they were always blocked on the south bank of the Chi River and could not cross the Chi River for half a step.

"Baga Ya Road! This horde of hateful chinas! ”

At the temporary headquarters of the 58th Wing's position, Wing Commander Takada Keiji held a telescope with both hands, observing the battle situation ahead, and roared with resentment.

It's been three whole days, and they can't cross the Chihe River for half a step, which is a great shame for him.

Because whether it is the Shanghai battlefield or the Nanjing station, their united forces are like a bamboo, and they almost win the country. The army only has the ability to parry, and has no power to fight back.

But now, they were actually blocked by a small pond river, and they couldn't move forward for three days, how could he not be angry?

After hearing the roar of Wing Commander Keiji Takada, several combat staff officers of the command headquarters all lowered their heads, and they almost didn't dare to take a breath of air.

"Pass my order, let Kaneda-kun, Kobayashi-kun, and Kawamoto-kun step up their offensive, no matter what method they use, they must cross the Chi River before it gets dark and destroy the Shina people entrenched on the north bank of the Chi River, otherwise let them disembowelment to thank the emperor!"

"Hay!"

After hearing the order of Wing Commander Keiji Takada, an operational staff officer ran quickly in the direction of the battlefield.

"Itakura-kun, ours has done our best, this time the enemy's is too tenacious, ours, ask for air fire support!"

The three little devil captains, Kaneda Masa, Kobayashi Ryoshu, and Kawamoto Ken, all showed a bitter look on their faces after hearing the order given by the co-captain Takada Keiji.

They didn't want to annihilate this group of hateful soldiers, but the group of enemies they met in front of them, their tenacity was beyond the imagination of these little devils.

So much so that this small pond river has become a moat in front of them, even if they try their best, it will be difficult to surpass half a step in the end.

Although in these three days, they destroyed countless enemies, as the attackers, their losses were no less immeasurable.

If it were not for the fire support of the artillery brigade, I am afraid that their casualties would have been even greater.

But after three days of bombardment, the artillery brigade consumed so many shells that to this day, the logistics units have not kept up, and the artillery brigade has to reduce its firepower.

As the firepower of the artillery brigade weakened, the pressure on their three fortified brigades suddenly increased a lot.

"I will report your request to His Excellency Wing Commander, but now, you must immediately carry out the battle orders issued by His Excellency Wing Commander!"

"Hay!"

Kaneda Masa, Kobayashi Yoshishu, and Kawamoto Ken had no choice but to agree.

After the combat staff officer returned, Kaneda glanced at the two of them and asked, "Kobayashi-kun, Kawamoto-kun, what do you think, how should this battle be fought now?" Will we attack in three directions, or will we join forces? ”

"In the past three days, the losses of our major teams have not been small, and now His Excellency the Wing Captain has issued a death order, so I suggest that we join forces together, as long as we cross the Chi River, then the soldiers on the opposite side will be vulnerable!"

Kobayashi Ryoshu said with hatred in his eyes.

"I think we should divide the battle in three ways, because if we are united, the enemy's will inevitably be united.

And our troops are divided into three ways, and the enemy's troops will inevitably be divided into three ways, and when the time comes, as long as one of our troops kills the Chi River, then we can also assist the other two ways to kill the Chi River.

When the time comes, it will be a very simple matter to destroy the people of China on the other side! ”

Kawamoto clenched his fists and expressed his opinion.

"I think what Kawamoto-kun said makes sense, because in terms of the ability to fight alone, it is impossible for the Chinese soldiers to compare with the imperial army of our Great Japanese Empire!

Therefore, I think that the more dispersed the forces, the better! ”

Kaneda pondered for a moment, and then also expressed his opinion.

"In this case, then divide the army into three ways! But I can say ugly things in front, if you two dare to be careful this time, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

Seeing that Kaneda Masashi and Kawamoto Ken had decided to divide their troops into three ways, Kobayashi Ryoshu could only choose to second, but when he looked at the two of them, he was a little more wary and hateful.

Because before this, he was not less stumbled by Kaneda Masashi and Kawamoto swords, so that their brigade lost more troops than the Kaneda Brigade and Kawamoto Brigade by three layers.

But the most important thing at the moment is to kill the Chihe River and destroy the enemy on the opposite side, so he has to temporarily let go of the hatred in his heart.

"Xiao Linjun, don't worry, who dares not to do his best this time, don't talk about us, I'm afraid that His Excellency the Wing Captain will not let him go!"

"Humph! So much better! ”

With that, Kobayashi Ryoshu flicked his sleeves and headed towards the battlefield he was responsible for......

On the north bank of the Chi River, the 173rd Division, the temporary headquarters of the 517th Brigade, a lieutenant colonel ran over from the direction of the battlefield in a panic.

"Traveler, it's not good!"

"What's wrong?"

Wu Yuan, the commander of the 517th Brigade, frowned and asked with a serious face.

"The little devils are ruthless this time, looking at their appearance, I'm afraid they are going to launch a general attack!"

"Humph! A decisive battle will be a decisive battle, what are you afraid of him doing? Look at your panicked appearance, do you still look like a soldier? ”

Wu Yuan snorted coldly, and in the face of the little devil's general attack, instead of showing the slightest fear, he looked disdainful.

"Brigade seat, our army has suffered heavy casualties in the past three days, but I am afraid that we will not be able to resist the general attack of the little devils."

An operational staff officer said after thinking for a moment.

"My monarch has suffered heavy casualties, has there been no casualties among the little devils in the past two days?"

Wu Yuan turned his head and glared at the combat staff officer, and asked coldly.

"But the brigade, the little devils obviously haven't tried their best in the past three days, it seems that they want to delay until the 518 brigade can't hold on, so their casualties are not very large.

On the contrary, the casualties of our army have exceeded 50 percent, and in the face of the general attack of the little devils, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist! ”

The combat staff officer was stunned by the brigade commander Wu Yuan, but he understood the duties of an operational staff officer, so he still tried his best to advise at this moment.

"What do you mean?"

"In my opinion, our brigade has blocked the little devils for three days, and has also eliminated a lot of little devils, and this battle feat, compared to other departments, is not small, so I suggest that we can retreat.

Of course, we are not simply defeated, but a purposeful retreat, we can use delaying tactics to retreat while continuing to ambush the little devils with the help of favorable terrain!

In this way, even if we can't eliminate this group of little devils, we can at least stop these little devils for a few more days! ”

The operational staff officers continued to express their opinions.
