The sudden counterattack of the Japanese army not only made Muraoka almost vomit blood, but even the officers and soldiers of the 348th and 349th divisions who attacked the city were caught off guard, but the soldiers tempered by the war were not vegetarians, and after a short panic, one after another flares began to pass through the air, accompanied by dense metal bullets and bursts of machine gun sounds.

Li Wei, who had already fallen asleep, was also called up by the staff officer at the same time, and after listening to the staff officer's report, Li Wei thought for a while and asked, "Is there any movement of the Japanese troops in the east and north?" ”

"Nope!" The staff officer shook his head: "As soon as the battle began, the Japanese army attacked in these two directions like crazy, and the 562 and 563 regiments in charge of defense reported that there were at least more than a thousand Japanese troops who launched a counteroffensive against them. ”

"More than a thousand?" Li Wei's eyes widened in surprise, "Little devil, this is a big deal, so many people almost account for most of their troops." Don't they know that this can only be done to give us heads? ”

"That's what we don't understand." The staff officer smiled bitterly: "According to the results of the reconnaissance of the prisoners and the front-line troops, there are now more than 2,000 remnants of the Japanese army left. If the Japanese were to make a desperate attempt to break out, they would either send out all their forces or simply not launch them, and the low-level mistake of sending out most of them and leaving behind a small centaur like the present would not have been made even by officers who had just left the school. ”

Looking at the ensign with a puzzled face, Li Wei also scratched his head a little, and he couldn't blame them. No matter how powerful Li Wei and his staff officers are, they will not know that all this is a plan made by Iwasaki Taro to treat all the remaining remnants of the Japanese army as a substitute for the dead in order to save his own life.

However, although Li Wei did not understand the truth of the matter, he still ordered the front-line troops to launch a counterattack on the Japanese army that counterattacked on all fronts, and the soldiers who had an absolute advantage in numbers began to counterattack the Japanese army, and two hours after the battle began, the Japanese army that launched the counterattack was almost completely lost, and the officers and men of the national * * were not fools, they also began to counterattack the Japanese defense line under the command of officers at all levels, and when it was about half past six in the morning, sporadic gunfire rang out everywhere in the city, It was the officers and soldiers encircling and suppressing the scattered Japanese troops scattered in the city.

The sudden breakthrough battle launched by the Japanese army not only surprised Li Wei, but even the US military delegation, which had already fallen asleep, was also alarmed, and soon they got up and wanted to go to the front line to watch the battle, but they were stopped by Xu Zhuangzhi and several other officers from the Ministry of Military Affairs who were in charge of their safety.

"Lieutenant Colonel Crawford, the forward troops just reported that many Japanese troops broke through our army's defense line and blended into the city, if you stay at the division headquarters, we can still guarantee your safety, but if you go to the front line, it is very likely that you will encounter the Japanese army, so we can't guarantee your safety."

"No, no...... You don't understand. Crawford's head shook like a rattle, "Only in this case can you see the true combat effectiveness of a force, and now the Japanese are already ...... Well, in the words of you Huaxia people, right...... That's what the turtle in the urn means. Now that there are tens of thousands of your troops in Jinhua City, can't we still guarantee the safety of a few of us? At this, a sly smile appeared on Crawford's face.

"You ......" Xu Zhuangzhi was a little speechless, although he really wanted to pat the sycophants of these Americans, but he also knew very well how difficult it was to protect the safety of a few people in this kind of black light and chaos situation, he said with a straight face: "Lieutenant Colonel Crawford, although I would like to promise you, but bullets don't have long eyes, a stray bullet or even a missed shell can kill us all, are you really ready for this?" ”

"Crawford, why don't we wait until after dawn before we go, it's still an hour or two before dawn anyway." Nicholas on the side was a little frightened, and touched Crawford's arm on the side and whispered.

"No way!" Crawford shook his head, and the cowboy lost his temper and said resolutely: "By the time dawn the battle is over, what's the point of us going out then, Nicholas If you're afraid, just stay here, I'll just go out with Carl, anyway, you're not a soldier, no one will laugh at you." ”

Seeing that Crawford's expression was so resolute, Xu Zhuangzhi had no choice but to reluctantly agree, so he also specially borrowed a platoon of soldiers from Li Wei as an escort, and carefully escorted these stubborn Yankees to run to the place where the guns rang out......

While Crawford and his party were wandering around the city like flies smelling fish, more than a dozen figures were hurrying through a dark street.

"Your Excellency General, we should be out of the city by now, right?"

"Baga, you idiot, I've said it several times, don't call me Your Excellency General, now I'm just an ordinary businessman, you should call me boss!"

A somewhat angry voice sounded, this voice was none other than Major General Iwasaki Taro, who forcibly ordered the remnants of the 103rd Division to break through the defense line of the Chinese army.

After scolding the captain of his guard, Iwasaki Taro gathered the group and solemnly ordered: "Remember, if you meet Shina later, as long as you can't speak Chinese or are not fluent in Chinese, you are not allowed to speak, and I or Yano Ryo Shosa will deal with it." Don't shoot without my orders, do you understand? ”

"Hay!"

The surrounding soldiers nodded their heads in agreement.

I have to say that Iwasaki Taro is indeed a cunning guy, after he forcibly took over the command of the southern defense area of the 103rd Division, he immediately commanded the Japanese army there to launch a counterattack against the Huaxia army, and when the battle was halfway through, he quietly disappeared from the attacking team, and then he commanded the remnants of the 82nd Brigade to follow up behind the soldiers of the 103rd Division, taking advantage of the chaos to take Ryo Yano and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers to rush into a common people's house, and after killing their entire family, they changed into ordinary people's clothes. Then worried that this place was discovered by the Chinese soldiers, Iwasaki Taro took advantage of the dark night to hide in the huge city, and finally let him mix out of the defense line of the Chinese army, but because of the black light, they were not familiar with the road, Iwasaki Taro was surprised to find that their group was lost.
