The devil stopped the offensive after nightfall, and in the face of Huaiyin, which had been bombed into ruins, he could not take it, and the commander of the devil, Yamaguchi Akamatsu, had a gloomy and terrible face when he called a meeting of the officers.

In the spacious tent, the atmosphere was dull and depressing, covered in blood, and the devil officers with blackened faces all lowered their heads, not daring to look at the commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu with a calm face.

They attacked Huaiyin with high spirits, thinking that they could take it without much effort relying on sophisticated weapons and elite soldiers.

Unfortunately, it backfired, and since the attack began last night, a full day and a night have passed, and the defenders in the city are still resisting stubbornly.

The defenders were hiding in the dilapidated neighborhoods, and once their troops entered, they were immediately attacked from all sides.

They also tried to cover these neighborhoods with artillery fire, but now many of them have been bombarded into rubble, but the resistance is still there, and when they enter, there are still people shooting at them.

Often, some of the occupied neighborhoods will also suddenly appear at some point and attack them, as if they have come out of the ground, making the devil soldiers anxious.

The guerrillas were familiar with the terrain of the city, and although the attacking troops had the initiative to attack, it was difficult for them to win for a while.

At this moment, Huaiyin is like a bottomless pit, constantly devouring the devil soldiers who enter it, making many devil soldiers nervous to the extreme.

In a short period of one day and one night, the number of casualties of the Yamaguchi infantry brigade was as high as 430, and more than 300 were lightly and seriously wounded, and now there were less than 400 soldiers capable of fighting, and they were all exhausted.

The high-spirited commander Akamatsu Yamaguchi never imagined that they would suffer such heavy losses in such a victorious battle, almost to the point that he could not bear it.

Now Commander Akamatsu Yamaguchi wants to tear the resisting guerrillas in the city to shreds, but unfortunately, he does not have that ability now.

No matter how heavy the losses were, the battle was not over, and even if the troops were heartbroken, Yamaguchi Akamatsu knew that he had to cheer up and win this battle.

"Can't you even lift your head after being beaten by the Chinese people?"

After a long silence, the devil's commander, Yamaguchi Akamatsu, broke the silence in the tent with his gaze sweeping over the dejected officers.

After hearing the words of Captain Yamaguchi Akamatsu, more than 20 gray-faced devil officers raised their heads unwillingly.

Although they were officers, they had charged into battle several times during the day, their uniforms were already covered with dust and blood, and the smoke had blackened their faces, but it was still difficult to hide the unwillingness in their eyes.

"The will to fight of the people of China is beyond our imagination, we have lost many brave soldiers, but the battle is not over, and we have not lost!"

Commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu's eyes stared at the officers of these devils, and his voice was like a heavy hammer, which made the devil officers rekindle their desire to fight.

The reason for the frustration of the Devil officers was that the cloud of defeat hung over them, but now after Yamaguchi Akamatsu's reminder, they realized that the battle was not over, and it was not yet known who would kill the deer.

"Captain, please add some soldiers to our squadron, we can attack again!"

An unwilling devil squadron leader had bloodthirsty eyes in his eyes and asked Captain Yamaguchi Akamatsu.

There are only seventy soldiers in their squadron who can fight now, which can be said to be a great loss of vitality, but he is not reconciled.

"We already have no soldiers to replenish, at least not for a short time." Devil Commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu ruthlessly shattered the squadron leader's hopes.

"Can you give us some ammunition, our soldiers don't even have ten bullets." The devil's squadron leader retreated and spoke again.

Commander Akamatsu Yamaguchi shook his head and said, "We have no extra ammunition now, and new ammunition is on the way, and it won't arrive until at least tomorrow after noon." ”

After hearing Yamaguchi Akamatsu's words, the faces of the devil squadron leaders were all depressed again, now there is no reinforcement of soldiers, no ammunition replenishment, how can this be fought?

"Now that the soldiers are tired, can we rest for the night before attacking?" A devil captain asked.

Their troops had been fighting since last night, and they had hardly rested for a day and a night, and now their troops were tired and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

Faced with such a simple request, Captain Yamaguchi Akamatsu finally shook his head: "The Watanabe detachment has been marching to Huaiyin overnight, and it is expected to arrive at dawn." ”

After hearing the words of Captain Yamaguchi Akamatsu, the devil officers were stunned at first, and then they were all filled with righteous indignation, and angry expressions appeared on their faces.

"Our brigade is fully capable of capturing Huaiyin, what are they doing here?" The leader of the devil squadron shouted with an unkind face.

"What do they mean by this, trying to take credit?" There are also devil officers questioning.

......

Although they belong to the same army system, but now when they have suffered heavy losses, other troops are coming, so the meaning is obvious, and the peach picking is coming, which is intolerable to them.

"Gentlemen, so there is not much time left for us, once the Watanabe detachment arrives, if they take the lead in capturing Huaiyin, it will be a shame for our brigade for the rest of their lives!" Commander Akamatsu Yamaguchi said with a cold face.

Why don't everyone understand this truth, they have suffered heavy losses and have not captured Huaiyin, if they are finally captured by another army, I am afraid they will not be able to raise their heads for the rest of their lives.

"So we must take Huaiyin before they arrive in Huaiyin, and we can do whatever it takes to do so!"

The words of Commander Akamatsu Yamaguchi made every officer realize that the time had come when they had to fight hard.

"Captain, you give the order, there is no ammunition, we will use bayonets to attack Huaiyin!" The officer with the devil was ruthless.

"That's right! The honor of our brigade cannot be desecrated, even if we all die in battle, we can't let the Watanabe detachment capture Huaiyin before us! ”

Now it's not just a matter of victory, it's a matter of the honor of their brigade.

They have always boasted that they were the elite of the Kwantung Army, and if the cities they could not capture were captured by a force composed of reinforcements and baggage troops, they would wipe their necks themselves.

Seeing that the devil officers were all indignant and clamoring to attack again, Commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu nodded with satisfaction.

"Command!"

Hearing this solemn voice, the devil officers all stood solemnly with their feet folded in unison, and looked at Yamaguchi Akamatsu with high fighting spirit.

"Yoshino-san, you select elite soldiers to form a commando team, and you are responsible for breaking through the defense line of the Shina army during the early morning attack."

"Hey!"

"Da Musan, you immediately take people to the surrounding villages to catch some Chinese people, and let them walk in front when we attack, and assist us in attacking."

"Hey!"

......
