Chapter 85: Evacuation
Because of the encouragement of that soldier, all the defenders of the 174th Division were greatly impacted, and their anger and morale soared, and they blew up the three armored vehicles of the little devil without any need for their lives.
After that, he fought with the little devil as if he was crazy, and that lifeless style of play completely frightened the little devil, and after dropping the corpse on the ground, they retreated.
After retreating the Japanese army's advance, Wang Zanbin immediately led the soldiers of the 174th Division to retreat.
At this time, it was already night, and the Japanese army could not see the situation on the position clearly, so Wang Zanbin took advantage of the night to gather troops and take them out.
"Hurry up, brothers, while the little devil hasn't reacted yet, evacuate as soon as possible!" Wang Zanbin urged the soldiers to assemble as soon as possible and leave the Chihe position.
Although the Chihe position was evacuated by themselves, their task had been completed, blocking the Japanese army for seven days and nights, blocking the 5th Brigade of the little devils in the Chihe area without an inch, which had given the troops behind a lot of time to react.
By this time, the Linhuai Pass defense line behind had been prepared, and there were even troops who ambushed the troops in the Mingguang area, in order to help the troops of the 174th Division withdraw and intercept the pursuing Japanese army.
Under Wang Zanbin's urging, the soldiers of the 174th Division quickly packed up their things and left here quietly!
……
The Japanese army did not know the movements of the 174th Division, but the little devils at this time were still kept in the dark.
Even Ichiro Katayama was still furious in his own brigade command.
The three armored vehicles he asked for support from the division headquarters were blown up by the Chinese army, and the losses were really too great!
If you say that you have taken down the Chihe position, and even eliminated the defenders, it is understandable to lose three armored vehicles, but now not only has you not destroyed the other side, but the position has not been taken yet, this loss is huge!
In the unlikely event that the division commander is held accountable, how should he explain it to His Excellency the division commander?
After His Excellency the Division Commander learns the truth, will he be disappointed in their Fifth Brigade?!
"Idiot! A bunch of idiots! A brigade of the dignified empire didn't even take down a small Chihe position, it's just a bunch of fools! Ichiro Katayama slapped a wing captain in front of him in the face and scolded angrily: "Yaga! You are not worthy to be soldiers of the Empire! ”
"Hey!"
With a slap on his face, the co-captain's cheeks suddenly swelled visibly, and several clear finger prints appeared on it, but he didn't dare to make the slightest move, but instead bowed upright.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, please calm your anger!" The co-captain said in a deep voice.
"Anger? How do you make me angry! Ichiro Katayama said angrily: "The Chihe position has blocked us for seven days and seven nights, if we can't take it again, the empire's plan cannot be implemented, if the fighter plane is delayed, Your Excellency the division commander will be furious, you and I can't eat and walk around!" ”
Katayama Ichiro was angry, and when he saw the captain standing there, he suddenly became angry, and was about to slap him, but at this time, a little devil officer suddenly ran over, saluted, and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency the brigade commander, the position on the opposite side seems to have moved!" ”
"Nani?" Hearing this, Ichiro Katayama put down his palm, frowned and asked, "What happened?" ”
The wing captain had already prepared to be beaten, but when the officer came to report the situation, it made Katayama Riichiro's movements stop, and the wing leader couldn't help but glance at the officer gratefully.
It's just that the officer didn't look at him, and said respectfully to Ichiro Katayama: "Our soldiers saw that there were many people on the other side, and there was no light, so they wondered if the other party had fled!" ”
"Nani! Escaped! Hearing this, Katayama Riichiro's eyes suddenly widened, his face was incredulous, and he hurriedly said: "Hurry up, fire flares, and see what kind of conspiracy the Shina army is engaged in!" ”
"Hey!" The officer immediately saluted.
Soon, the little devil brought in a few grenadiers, and with a few muffled toms, he knocked out the flares.
The flares exploded in the air, illuminating the entire position as if it were daylight.
Ichiro Katayama hurriedly took out the binoculars to look, but at this look, his nose suddenly turned crooked!
I only saw that the position was empty, and there was not a single figure!
"Yaga! This group of Zhina army really ran away! What a vile and cunning! Ryichiro Katayama suddenly scolded angrily, drew his command knife and split the table in front of him in half.
"Hurry up, gather troops, pursue immediately, we must catch up with this group of Zhina army, I will completely destroy them!" Riichiro Katayama roared angrily.
"Hey!"
……
Soon, the little devil had already gathered his troops, and Richiro Katayama left a large group of troops to guard the Ikekawa position, and then led the remaining large army to pursue the front.
Sitting on the sidecar tricycle, Ichiro Katayama was trembling with anger.
In order to attack this position, his brigade spent seven days and seven nights, and lost two or three thousand people.
If it reaches the ears of the division commander, what will His Excellency the division commander think of him Ichiro Katayama?
Will his 5th Brigade be labeled incompetent in the heart of the division commander?!
The more Richiro Katayama thought about it, the more angry he became, and he wanted to catch up with the defenders now and wipe them all out!
"Yaga! Cunning Shina people, if we are allowed to catch up, I will definitely cut off your heads with my own hands to vent my hatred! Riichiro Katayama thought through gritted teeth.
When Rishiro Katayama's troops found out that the 174th Division was retreating, the 174th Division had already retreated for almost half an hour, and the Japanese army simply could not catch up in a short time, not to mention, they also set up ambushes.
It can be said that the 5th Brigade of the Japanese Army was simply unable to catch up with Wang Zanbin's troops.
At this time, twenty or thirty miles away from the Japanese army, Wang Zanbin was leading his troops to quickly evacuate towards the area of Linhuai Pass. They had just passed through Sanheji and met with the friendly troops who were ambushed in Sanheji.
Knowing the ambush they set up there, Wang Zanbin also relaxed.
Seeing that all the soldiers were running for their lives in order to evacuate, they were all too tired at this time, Wang Zanbin ordered the troops to rest in place, and continued to advance ten minutes later.
Called Tengchong and asked him to count the battle damage, but it turned out that he learned that he had lost nearly five or six thousand people!
Hearing this loss, Wang Zanbin's heart was dripping blood!
All the soldiers of his 174th Division were only more than 8,000 people together, and they lost more than 5,000 people, more than two-thirds of the losses!
That's too much to pay!
"Shizao, although we suffered a lot of losses, we also killed more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers, which is not a small victory!" Teng Chong saw that Wang Zanbin was in a bad mood, and hurriedly said comfortingly.
