Huang Wei still didn't understand what Qi Rui meant, and asked, "Will you just withdraw like this?" ”

"General Huang! Behind us are the simple fortifications we have built, where we wait for the devils to attack! Qi Rui always said in a consultative tone,

"Oh! Are there still fortifications! I do not know! I immediately ordered the retreat! ”

In the face of the legendary god of war Qi Rui, Huang Wei's attitude was also much more humble, he came from the other side with the army, and he really didn't know the trenches dug by the White Russian cavalry.

Fujii Sueyoshi and Hitomi Shuzo of the Ninth Division were also a little unbearable at this moment, because they had never seen the Chinese so fierce, especially in white-blade battles, they have always had an advantage, and they often can fight against three or four without suffering, but this time they don't know why the advantage is not reflected at all, but there are many casualties.

Fujii Sueyoshi and Hitomi Shuzo are soldiers who don't know about the Lone Wolf Brigade and the Blood Wolf Guerrilla Brigade while killing devils and protecting the fruit army.

It's not that they do this deliberately, but that they have developed a habit of cooperating with each other and protecting each other when they adopt the three-three system in battle, so they will help each other when they see their own people in danger around them.

Suddenly, the Chinese retreated, and Fujii Suekichi didn't know what was going on, fearing that it was a trick of the other party, so he immediately reported it to Akiyama Yoshiyoshi and asked him if he was pursuing.

Akiyama Yoshiyoshi wanted to ask Yoshizumi Ryosuke, but Ushijima Mitsuru came to the front of the battle with his men, and when he saw that the battle had stopped, he asked, "General Akiyama!" What happened? ”

"Ushijima General! The Shina army suddenly retreated! ”

"Chase!" Ushijima didn't even think about giving orders to his army immediately.

The Ushijima Manchu Brigade of the Sixth Division still had more than 4,000 infantry wings left, and they charged in pursuit, and Akiyama Yoshiyoshi had no choice but to order Fujii Sueyoshi and Hitomi Shuzo to follow with their wings.

Ushijima's army reached the first trench dug by the White Russian cavalry first, where the Eighteenth Army began its counterattack.

This time Qi Rui did not send his own people to participate in the battle, after the previous battle, there were still more than 200 White Russian cavalry left, and the lone wolf brigade and a group of blood wolf guerrilla brigade soldiers were ordered by Qi Rui to return to their original positions to prevent the devils from bypassing from there.

The trench between the two small lakes is not very large, the terrain is like an hourglass, and the first trench is in the middle of the hourglass, so Huang Wei led most of the 18th Army to repair in the third trench, and the 18th Army suffered more than 2,000 casualties in the previous battle.

In the temporary field hospital three kilometers away from the battlefield, the wounded were all lined up in the open air, Zhou Shuxue was now completely numb, and Yuko Hino was also exhausted, and she didn't make any small moves under the supervision of Tong Lin and Liang Ying.

The wounded are still being sent here one after another, before Zhou Shuxue really wanted to find a place to cry, because it was clear that many of the wounded could live, but they died because they didn't have time to be treated, Long Lan brought back a lot of medicines this time, but they had already been used almost.

Qi Rui knew about this situation, but now he didn't have any way at all! The battle continued, casualties were inevitable, and he had already informed Xue Yue of the situation, and arrangements were also being made over there.

But what moved Qi Rui was that three guerrillas of the New Fourth Army arrived, they did not participate in the battle, but helped treat the wounded, and soon the guerrillas organized the surrounding people to come together, which made Tong Lin and these women's soldiers a lot easier, and they could free up manpower to help Zhou Shuxue treat the wounded.

It turned out that Yuyan had been reporting the battle situation to Yan'an, and after hearing about the difficulties here, Yan'an immediately contacted the local New Fourth Army and asked them to come over to help, and the army came over for fear of misunderstanding, so they let the guerrillas come.

The fight on the side of Douli Mountain was also extremely fierce, and Izuo Kazuo's wing was under the onslaught of the 74th Army, Liang Qing and Jiulongzhai, and there was still less than one brigade in one wing, but the 74th Army also lost more than 3,000 people.

Because there was still a part of the 74th Army fighting against the Wakisaka Jiro Wing, this side was facing the entire wing of the people, so the casualties were very large.

Qi Rui also already knew the battle situation here, but he had no reinforcements to send now, so he could only let Liang Qing and them work hard to annihilate the Iza United as soon as possible.

Xue Yue also knew that the battle was so fierce here, and he also expected this situation in advance, so he had already prepared a surprise army, that is, the 27th Group Army of the Sichuan Army Yang Sen.

To say that Xue Yue also sent all the more capable troops, the 27th Group Army was basically the Sichuan Army, originally three divisions, but because of the large casualties in the previous Battle of Wuhan, the 135th Division was abandoned, and now there are still 133 and 134 Divisions left.

After receiving the order, they rushed over, because they had been hidden south of Poyang Lake, not far from the battlefield here, so the troops of the two divisions arrived when Ushijima was attacking the trenches.

Qi Rui was overjoyed when he saw the reinforcements coming, and immediately asked Division Commander Yang Gancai to take the 134th Division to support Zhang Lingfu, and the 133rd Division of Xia Jiong, the deputy army commander and division commander, stayed behind to assist the 18th Army in the battle.

The first trench was full of corpses, even so it played its due role, and the casualties of the fruit army in the trenches were significantly smaller, and there was another important reason, that is, the weapons on Qi Rui's side were no worse than the devils, especially when Liang Qing brought the team before, he brought all the weapons and equipment that should have been brought.

Therefore, although Qi Rui's side did not send people into the trenches, their mortars and grenadiers never stopped, and with the Guojun's own mortars, the firepower on this side was no worse than that of devils without tanks and heavy artillery.

Ushijima has always looked down on the fruit army, but this time no matter how they charged, they couldn't move forward, and seeing that the casualties were not small, Ushijima finally ordered to stop the attack, because he received an order to retreat when the fighters of the Fourth Flying Group arrived.

Okamura Ninji learned that he was difficult to ride a tiger when he was fooled, and he was very unwilling, so he wanted to give it a try, and Shiro Inaba with the remaining brigade of the 6th Division had also boarded the ship and set off, and the Kusaba Tatsumi Brigade of the 16th Division was also ready, so Okamura Ninji let them land again.

But soon got the news that Qi Rui's army guarding the lake did not leave, so the Caochangchen brigade that arrived first did not land successfully, and it was also a big loss.

Okamura Ninji also learned that there was no progress on the side of Mt. Douli, and the Iza Wing of the Ninth Division was now uncontactable, and I was afraid that it was more than lucky.

Wakisaka Wing was still fighting hard with the troops of the 74th and Qi Rui, and when he heard that another army had arrived to support, he immediately gave orders to Keisuke Fujie, Shiro Inaba, and Ryosuke Yoshizumi, telling them to immediately retreat to the combat range of the convoy and cavalry wing under the cover of the fighters.
