After all, the army is not a common people, if you really want to fight hard, if you shoot me, I will shoot you again, the devil will definitely not be able to stand it, he can't afford to fight, the number is small! Even if the 59th Army fights two devils and one, Lieutenant General Sakagaki is unwilling, there are more than 20,000 people in the 59th Army, so to fight to the end, Zhang Zizhong is not unwilling, but how many people can be left in the end of Lieutenant General Sakagaki? What do you ask him to do in the rest of the battle? If he really fought with the 59th Army to the end, the 59th Army was exhausted, and the 5th Division also suffered heavy casualties, Lieutenant General Sakagaki probably had only one way to return to China.

The mentality of the generals on both sides is different, which determines the outcome of this war. Zhang Zizhong is a person who is not afraid of fighting the troops, according to his idea, since the Japanese invaded China, as a soldier, you must have the consciousness of death, that is, you should die in a bloody battle with the enemy on the battlefield! To be able to fight with the soldiers in the army, and finally wrap the body in horse leather, is exactly what he wants. And the Japanese army's Lieutenant General Sakagaki is counting on earning him more fame and benefits through the Fifth Division, which is the ladder for the lieutenant general to be promoted to a higher position, and at least it is also a tool that can bring him more reputation. As for the bloody battle to the death, which risked the lives of the main generals, General Itagaki was of course even more unwilling.

Just when Lieutenant General Sakagaki exerted his best strength and did not repel the fierce attack of the squadron, and was hesitating in his heart, from the right flank of his division, a mortar shell flew and landed in the courtyard where the division headquarters was located, killing three staff officers and wounding five on the spot, including one Dazuo and three Shaozuo.

Lieutenant General Sakagaki was shocked, and his heart was extremely panicked, could it be that the squadron had already hit the division headquarters? is different from what everyone thinks, Lieutenant General Seishiro Itagaki is not a fierce butcher-like character similar to Zhen Kansai in "Water Margin", he usually pays attention to his image. It's okay to wear a tweed coat, and I like to play with a cane when I have nothing in my hand, and I'm very good at pretending to be a civilized person.

When the mortar shell of the Independent Brigade exploded at a distance of more than ten meters from Lieutenant General Sakagaki, Lieutenant General Sakagaki could no longer disguise his image as a Confucian general. The commander of the Itagaki Division threw away his cane, forgot to put on his overcoat, took the matching gun that he had not used for a long time, and escaped tremblingly from the courtyard where the shell was carried out under the protection of his staff officer. As soon as he came out, Seishiro Itagaki immediately got into an armored car and gave only one order: "Retreat!" Then he took the lead and ran backwards first.

The place where Gao Quan chose the place where the Japanese formation was not too thick happened to be near the headquarters of the Fifth Division. It is said that Gao Quan's 1,000 or 2,000-strong troops are approaching within 1,000 meters, and the garrison troops at the division and regiment headquarters should have discovered it a long time ago, but the bad thing is that the 59th Army's offensive was too fierce, and Lieutenant General Sakagaki put all the reserves on top and still could not recover the decline, so he had to send part of the garrison troops of his division and regiment headquarters.

The garrison troops of the Fifth Division, the division and regimental headquarters, of course, were strong in combat strength, and although they were not many in number, they really temporarily withstood the frontal attack of the 59th Army. Since it worked, the commander of the Sakagaki division sent his guards to the front line a little more. In this way, the number of guards at the division headquarters was reduced to a dangerous number, so that the independent brigade ran so close to Lieutenant General Sakagaki that it was not detected, so that then there was an anecdote that mortar shells fell on the division headquarters.

Gao Quan didn't know how much damage his shelling had done to the Fifth Division. The artillery company of the independent brigade has several large-caliber mortars, which have a long range and great power, and they are treasures brought by Gao Quan from the Ninth Army, and they are not willing to use them at all in peacetime. This time he launched a big counterattack against the Sakagaki division, and he asked his artillerymen to bring out these precious guns. Since you are here, you must play the greatest role, which is the style of Gao Quan. There's no target, anyway, those who go over there are devils, so just shoot casually. After two salvos of three heavy mortars, the remaining 60 small guns began to bombard indiscriminately, and in a few minutes, the shells brought with them were fired.

The commander of the artillery company actually had some opinions on this form of shelling. How can there be such a war? After the shells were fired, what did you do with our artillery company? Withdraw from the fight? Or let's all put our rifles and fight bayonets with devils? Seeing Gao Quan's happiness, he really didn't want to say anything, forget it, as long as the brigade seat is happy, he will fight, anyway, he will fight devils. The shells are the same in the morning and in the evening, and they must be fired in the morning and evening!

Just when the commander of the artillery company felt sorry for his shells, the devil's fifth division began to retreat. Gao Quan looked at it, if he didn't attack at this time, when would he wait?

"Rush!" At the sound of an order, more than 1,000 soldiers of the whole brigade shouted and rushed towards the position of the devils.

The devils received the order of the division headquarters and were retreating with the whole army, of course, they had no intention of fighting, they only wanted to run back, and no army was really trying to resist here, and Gao Quan's troops were successfully inserted from the hinterland of the devils! Devils are also people, and they also know that if they give the order to retreat, they will be left to the end, and no one wants to stay and die.

Under normal circumstances, a general like Seishiro Itagaki would have left enough rearguard forces even if he retreated. The devils still carried out their orders to the letter, whether it was Gao Quan's independent brigade or the 59th Army in front, it was not easy to really defeat the Sakagaki Division. But the bad thing is that the shell of the independent brigade happened to fall into Sakagaki's division and regimental headquarters, so that Sakagaki mistakenly thought that the squadron had found the location of his division and regimental headquarters, and the artillery could hit the shells here at any time. Lieutenant General Sakagaki, who was frightened, led his division headquarters in a panic and ran away directly, and he didn't even have time to give the order after the break, and when he remembered, the troops had already received the order to retreat and began to retreat all of them!

Lieutenant General Sakagaki hurriedly and casually designated a few troops to break off, and then led his division headquarters to continue to retreat.

When those broken troops started, they didn't receive orders to break off their positions, and everyone had basically withdrawn from their positions, and now they want to turn back and reoccupy their positions, how easy is it to say? After receiving the order, the chariot unit had already driven away in advance due to its good mobility, and how could the remaining few infantry brigades be able to block the attack of tens of thousands of troops in the squadron when they had no positions to defend? The soldiers of the 59th Army were like tigers descending from the mountain, easily rushing these devils to pieces. After the break, the 5th Division finally began a major rout.

By the time the Independent Brigade rushed to the edge of the enemy line, the devils had already begun to rout. Gao Quan saw that the big group of devils was leaking down like a mountain torrent that broke the embankment, and his eyes immediately lit up, and he led his troops to kill it horizontally!
