It was getting dark.

Sato Ueno used his binoculars to look at the position of the Shina Army, hoping that the flag of their great empire would fly there.

But things didn't go as he imagined, but a blue sky and white sun flag floated on the battlefield.

When he saw the soldiers fleeing in the wilderness, he knew that something was wrong.

Kukugi held the telescope tightly, and he sat in his chair, his face pale, and he didn't say a word.

"Yaga, what's going on?" Seeing a devil squad leader who had escaped back, Sato Ueno immediately shouted.

"Report ...... Report...... Report to the Captain. ”

The military uniform of this devil squad was torn in several places, his face was pale, and he took a few breaths before he replied: "We are fighting with the Chinese army with bayonets, who knows that they have a lot of reinforcements, and they have defeated us at once, and even the leader of the Takahashi squadron is broken." ”

"Huh?" Sato Ueno raised his eyebrows, because he was on the southeast side of the position, and the position was shrouded in fog, so he didn't see anyone entering, so he asked in surprise: "How many people are coming?" ”

"It seems like five or six hundred." The leader of the devil squad thought for a moment and replied, "They didn't fight with us with bayonets at all, but shot us directly." ”

He couldn't figure out why those Shina armies didn't have the spirit of bushido? Since the soldiers on their side are all returning bullets to fight bayonets, the other party is so unruly?

Thinking of being defeated by the national army and fleeing in embarrassment, this devil squad leader didn't dare to look at the captain in front of him, lowered his head and said, "So, so we ......"

"Stupid! No rice bucket! ”

Before the squad leader could finish speaking, Ueno Sato kicked the opponent down.

"Captain Sato!"

At this time, Jiujiu Mu spoke: "You see, this time my brigade was basically wiped out by that army, and you also lost a squadron. ”

"How's it going? Say it quickly. Sato Kamihiro was angry and dissatisfied.

Jiujiumu hummed for a moment, and said slowly: "We might as well take advantage of the fact that the Shina army really thinks that it has defeated us and relaxed its defense, so we will launch a surprise attack tonight, take the position in one fell swoop, and kill all the Shina troops." In this way, we can take revenge with one arrow, and we can also give an account to the above. ”

"Not bad!" Sato Ueno nodded slightly, he clenched the battle knife, looked into the distance with a solemn face, and rolled his eyes.

"Captain Sato! We were ordered to rush to Qinglong Mountain......" reminded an adjutant standing behind him.

"Eight! I don't need to be reminded. Sato Ueno suddenly glared at the other party dissatisfied, and the adjutant was immediately so frightened that he quickly shut up.

"Kukugi! Dispatch me all the remaining soldiers, and I will send all my troops. This time, we must wipe out all the Chinese army!! In the end, Sato Ueno made up his mind.

-

Small hillside, national - army position.

"Chen Guang, Wu Sheng, why are you here so late?"

Seeing two sturdy and sharp-eyed officers with tired faces, Wang Zhong straightened his face and asked.

"I said Wang Zhong, why don't you thank us for coming in time?" The broad-faced Wu Sheng just smiled and asked rhetorically.

"In time? You're fucking timely! If you had been in time, you would not have had to sacrifice two more brothers? Wang Zhong pointed to the corpses on the battlefield and said in a deep voice.

Seeing that the soldiers were carrying the corpses that were still in a fighting posture, the national army and the devils were intertwined, and the yellow-green military uniforms accounted for the majority.

The two officers' faces suddenly became solemn.

They are also the commanders of the first and second battalions of the 88th Division of the National Revolutionary Army and the 262nd Regiment of the 88th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, and they are familiar with each other.

"Wang Zhong, I'm sorry! We've done our best. The square-faced Chen Wu frowned and said in a low voice.

Wang Zhong's face changed, and he raised his voice: "I'm sorry? If I'm sorry to get those young lives back, I'm willing to say it a thousand times, ten thousand times. ”

Chen Wu was silent for a moment.

"Wang Zhong, actually, we didn't want to arrive so late......" Wu Sheng pursed his lips and said.

"Wu Sheng, there is no need to explain. It's useless to say anything now, it's all our fault. Chen Wu's face sank, and he immediately interrupted the other party's words.

Wang Zhong looked at the two of them with some astonishment: "You guys, what are you hiding from me?" Say it! ”

"I ......" Wu Sheng wanted to speak, but was interrupted again by Chen Wu: "Now is not the time to talk about these things. Wang Zhong, let's quickly clean up the battlefield and return to Yuhuatai. ”

"What?" Wang Zhong's face suddenly turned pale, he pointed to the surroundings, and said loudly: "Holding this position, so many of our brothers have exchanged their blood and lives for it, and now we will withdraw if we say withdraw?" ”

"Wang Zhong, listen to me." Wu Sheng was a little anxious: "We are preparing to take over the defense here, but we received an order to retreat." ”

"Which bastard gave the order?"

"You, you, why are you losing your temper again?" Wu Sheng was so angry with the other party that he couldn't speak for a while.

"Wang Zhong, you don't know the current situation, do you?" Chen Wu glared at him and explained: "Let me tell you, now the devils are coming from Shanghai to Nanjing in three ways, and they will not only attack from the front, but also surround from the back and cut off our retreat.

Due to the fact that our army's positions were laid out like a line and lacked depth configuration, the devils broke through several places in the previous two days, causing the entire defense line to be shaken.

That's why the above ordered all our troops to shrink back and retreat and move towards the inner corridor position. ”

Wang Zhong immediately held his forehead and said regretfully: "Hey, which brother army can't hold it?" ”

"Wang Zhong, now it's not time to hold anyone responsible, it's time to save our troops, hurry back to the inner corridor and Nanjing City to guard." Chen Wu said again.

"Okay." Wang Zhong gritted his teeth, his eyes were red, and he nodded.

Having received the order to retreat, the fighters hurried to clean up the battlefield, bury the bodies, and pack up guns and ammunition......

Zhao Zilong wrapped the two knives together in cloth, put the binoculars in his backpack, and picked up the Zhongzheng rifle.

He stood up, looked around, and then glanced at the devil camp in the distance, and then followed the brigade and left together.

-

When the national-army of the 262nd Regiment withdrew from their positions for less than half an hour, the devils in the distance immediately launched artillery bombardment.

This time there were twice as many bombs as before, so that the position seemed to be plowed and the ground turned upside down.

As soon as the explosion stopped, two squadrons of devil soldiers rushed in from all directions.

It's just that these devils see an empty position.

"Nani? All the Chinese army withdrew? ”

When Sato Ueno and Kukugi heard the news, they also saw that the positions were full of plaster flags.

Originally, they were very happy when they saw the imperial flag planted on the position, but now when they heard that there was no trace of the Zhina army, they were very disappointed and unwilling.

Although they occupied the position, it was abandoned by the enemy on their own initiative, which was tantamount to their defeat.

"Report to the captain! Captain Okamoto came. At this time, a soldier ran over to report.

The faces of the two captains suddenly changed and changed.
