Henan has been the place of four wars since ancient times, the soldiers of the Ninth Reserve Division formed in Henan are not afraid of death, after hearing the order of the commander to pursue, they don't care how many devils escaped, dozens of brothers who were assigned the task of blocking the road ran away from the battlefield, ran down the mountain from the path, trying to block the retreat of the devils, but unfortunately the devils ran quickly under the cover of darkness, and soon disappeared on the high ground of the Confucian Temple......

The second brigade of the 113th Wing, which set off from the forward position of Liujia Village, had just arrived at the foot of the hill of the Confucian Temple Heights with heavy equipment, and encountered the devils of the first brigade who fled in embarrassment, looking at the less than 200 devils running in embarrassment, the captain of the second brigade, Abe Keiichi, was stunned to see that the fully formed brigade had abandoned all the heavy machine guns and the devils stopped in front of the large army with a rough attitude;

"Yaga! What about Yokoyama-kun? Keiichi Abe slapped the devil who ran in front in the face one by one,

"Hay! The captain is in the back! "This devil doesn't care about kicking anymore, and he reports it immediately!

"What's the situation? They all attacked their positions, why did they flee with shame with so many people left? Keiichi Abe asked,

"There are so many people in China that we can't hold a foothold at all; After the raid on the positions of the Chinese people....... "the devil who kicked in a rough way described in short words what happened to the first brigade tonight,

"Yaga!" As soon as Abe Kei scolded, he stopped making a sound, it turned out that the operation failed because he couldn't keep up with the speed of his own support, and now he should think about how to go back and face the wing captain......

"The first squadron built a defensive line on the spot to cover the retreat of the Yokoyama brigade!" Keiichi Abe immediately reacted, and the top priority now is to cover the retreat,

"The mountain artillery squadron and the heavy machine gun squadron immediately retreated and returned to the Liujiacun position; The 2nd Squadron and the 3rd Squadron alternately cover! Remove! Keiichi Abe quickly ordered,

Keiichi Abe, who issued the order, was not willing to wait for Jiro Yokoyama at all, for fear that Jiro Yokoyama, who had suffered heavy losses, would be scolded when he met! turned around and withdrew with the troops to Liujia Village;

There was the pursuit of the Chinese soldiers behind him, Yokoyama Jiro didn't care about the captain's face, ran all the way sadly, and finally saw the fire in front, and there were imperial soldiers behind the fire to set up a machine gun fire point, Yokoyama Jiro rushed over, sat on the ground and kicked wildly, a devil infantry next to him handed over a kettle, Yokoyama Jiro took a look, grabbed the kettle and poured it, and slowly got better after drinking the water, and gradually ran out of the devils stopped around Yokoyama Jiro and sat down and kicked......

"Da Da Da ......"

Without warning, the devil crooked his machine gun and began to shoot, and the dozens of brothers who pursued him were hit by machine gun bullets as soon as they entered the area of the bonfire, and they all fell in a pool of blood in a miserable wail......

"Stop! Damn, I can't chase it; I've already gone down to the Confucian Temple, and there is a devil's card point in front of me, so it's a death sentence in the past! Go, pick up the brethren, and go back! One of the pursuing company commanders shouted,

Seeing that he was about to chase after the big official of the devil, but the annoying devil actually had a machine gun stuck at the foot of the mountain, and the unwilling brothers took a look at the devil's card point one after another, and found that there was no way, cursing and carrying the casualties of the brothers to retreat towards the Confucian Temple again;

The more than 100 devils around Yokoyama Jiro were not startled by the gunfire at all, and they all reached their own defense line, and no matter how many people came over, they were killed by machine guns.

These more than 100 devils, in addition to the rifles and messy military uniforms they carry, can also show that they are a soldier of the imperial army, thinking that their tired eyes and miserable faces are like a group of hungry people fleeing;

"Tidy it up! Get back! Yokoyama Jiro looked at the cover line set up by Keiichi Abe's soldiers, and knew what was going on, it turned out that it wasn't that the wing commander didn't send reinforcements, but that Abe's brigade came too slowly......

On the position of the Confucian Temple, the black rumbling position was full of wailing wounded soldiers, and the bloody atmosphere was permeated, but in such a dark battlefield, it was impossible to distinguish which were devils and those were his brothers......

"Poof, poof, poof......"

The brothers who cleaned the battlefield were unceremonious, and when they encountered them wearing devil uniforms, they greeted them with bayonets, and they would never leave without piercing a few transparent holes......

"Ahh A wounded soldier howled in a pile of corpses,

"There's a brother here who is still alive, carrying a stretcher!" The brothers who were cleaning up the battlefield shouted, and the stretchers that followed immediately came and carried the wounded brothers away from the battlefield......

"Division commander, the remaining officers and soldiers of the whole division are even the lightly wounded, and there are less than 1,000 brothers." A colonel's officer with a bandage on his arm came over and reported,

The bandage was still soaked in blood, and it looked like it had just been bandaged; The rough bandaging technique shows that this was a brother bandaging indiscriminately;

"How's it hurting? Wait a minute, find a hygienist, and take care of the bag! Zhang Yan said,

"What am I! Our officers suffered heavy casualties in the counterattack! The colonel-officer said,

"How many are left?" Zhang Yanchuan twitched his lips and asked,

"Before nightfall, there were two regimental commanders, three deputy regimental commanders, five battalion commanders, and ten deputy battalion commanders; Now I am left with one regiment commander, two deputy regiment commanders are seriously wounded, and one is killed in battle; Officers above the rank of deputy battalion commander could not be divided into one of each battalion company, and there were only four. The platoon commander of the company ......" the colonel officer said that this was interrupted by Zhang Yanchuan,

"The troops are now suffering heavy casualties, and all the brothers have been reorganized into a regiment, and I am the regiment commander, so that the officers are enough!" Zhang Yanchuan gave the order silently,

"Yes, Commander!" The colonel officer turned and left, the brothers were still cleaning up the battlefield, and now they didn't dare to retreat and stay, maybe the devils would come here for a night attack, and it was still early in the morning; It was necessary to hasten to let the brethren dig artillery holes and trenches overnight;

Zhang Yanchuan took out a sweat-soaked cigarette from his jacket pocket, lit it and took a sharp puff, the strong nicotine smell hit Zhang Yanchuan's nerves, Zhang Yanchuan turned around silently, followed by the brothers of the guard company, and returned to the division headquarters behind Kong Jiamiao, now there are no officers and soldiers at the division headquarters except for civilian clerks and cooking classes; The brothers who were able to draw to the front were all on the battlefield, including their own guard battalion, and only one guard company remained;

"Telegraphed to Commander Li Hansoul, our unit was attacked by the Japanese army at night, and more than 800 devils were killed and wounded in the battle, and the remnants escaped by taking advantage of the darkness, and there are less than 1,000 people left in our department, please send reinforcements to Commander Li as soon as possible!" Zhang Yanchuan dictated the message,

"Division Commander, Commander Li calls back!" Less than ten minutes later, Zhang Yanchuan, who was resting on a stool at the division headquarters, got a call back,

"Chen Gongxia's 155th Division has been ordered to rush to your aid in the starry night, and ensure that the position is not lost before the 155th Division takes over!" A few short sentences illustrate the attitude of the military department,
