Chapter Seventy-Nine: Three Lightly Armed Regiments

A general like Okamoto Zhenchen actually began to take the initiative to ask him for air support, what does that mean? It shows that the current battle situation is already quite unfavorable to his Ushijima detachment!

Go forward bravely, move forward without hesitation, and never retreat, that is to fool low-ranking officers, and it is definitely not the work of a general like Mitsuru Ushijima! Being able to advance and retreat is the talent of a general. Since General Ushijima saw the unfavorable situation, it was actually not too difficult for a veteran brigade commander like Ushijima to issue an order to retreat!

Just after Gao Quan's order was issued, the regiments of the 500 Division had already loaded their guns and unsheathed their knives, and when they were waiting for an order to launch an attack on the devils, the devils in front of them suddenly pulled out their camps and prepared to retreat!

As soon as Gao Quan heard the report, his eyes widened at that time, the old devil of Ushijima wanted to run? Where's that? The attack was immediately launched, the artillery battalion was covered by artillery fire for ten minutes, and then the troops quickly engaged the enemy!

"Boom!" The deafening sound of artillery rang out, and the artillery battalion of the 500th Division finally began to exert its might again! Camp Commander Fan was so excited that his face was flushed. Since the interspersed detachment called for a sudden artillery attack, the artillery battalion has been resting until now.

Seeing that the other troops were in front, although there were no big battles, the brothers of the three brigades were not idle, and the big guy had nothing to do with the devil, and his artillery battalion was hung all the way to the back. The guys who used to shout for artillery support stopped calling him, as if the big guys had forgotten about him. Now the artillery battalion is finally going to be powerful again, and look at my Fan Xiaosi's real kung fu!

The artillery fire is not a joke, it is not an exaggeration to say that the ground is shaking.

The artillery battalion of the 500th Division roared with earth-shattering rage, and the battle defense artillery and howitzers, like heaven-swallowing beasts, spewed out countless fire meteors, and smashed down on the head of the Japanese Ushijima detachment! The lungs of the old devil of Ushijima almost blew up. When he had heavy artillery, the artillery of the 500 Division had not fought a few times in total, and every time it was a small fight, and he ran away as soon as he hit a few shots.

For a while, General Ushijima wanted to stop the troops and fight with this 500 division! But in the end, it was the quality of the general that made him suppress the anger in his heart, and led the troops to run away with his head down, braving the shells that fell on his head. This is called enduring the calm for a while, taking a step back and opening the sky. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Gao Quan, I remember you! Let's ride a donkey and read the record book, and we'll see!

Ushijima wanted to swallow his anger and run away, but Gao Quan was unwilling to let go of this old devil who had committed many crimes, so his wife ran away peacefully. In accordance with the previous deployment, the units of the 500th Division changed the original regimental unit to launch an attack on the enemy in front of them to a regimental unit to follow and pursue.

It turned out that Gao Quan led an interspersed detachment, but now there are seven interspersed detachments of more than 1,000 people, chasing and interspersing behind the Ushijima detachment.

The 500 Division had three brigades, each with two regiments, plus Gao Quan's division headquarters and directly subordinate teams to form an interspersed detachment. The brigade headquarters of the three brigades and their subordinate units were merged into one of the regiments, so that four of the seven interspersed detachments, including the division headquarters, were super-large detachments of more than 2,000 men. As soon as such a few troops are interspersed with the troops led by the old devil of Ushijima, it will be a lot of fun.

The order to retreat had been given, and the troops had already begun to move away, but the 500 divisions were catching up from behind. Ushijima: Actually, if he wanted to stop at this time, he could stop. However, Ushijima always feels that this place is unlucky now, and it is not a good place! He didn't want to be here at all! General Ushijima is now starting to miss life with the division. With the division and regiment, everything is handled by the division commander, he is just a subordinate, as long as he does things according to orders, how can it be so hard to make ideas by himself like this?

General Ushijima, who was anxious to join the division and regiment headquarters, ordered not to entangle with the Chinese, and the troops should show the courage of the Great Japanese Imperial Army, speed up the march, and quickly rush back to the division headquarters to report to Lieutenant General Shiro Inaba!

Gao Quan's interspersed detachment is simply ready-made, but now it has to go to the logistics organs of the division headquarters, and the interspersed speed is much slower than before, but this personnel is much more than the last time. The last time the interspersed detachment was formed, the engineer battalion was only one company, and this time it was all with it. The artillery battalion and the baggage battalion, which did not come at all last time, have joined en masse now. This interspersed was a division-wide operation, and it was impossible for Gao Quan to leave the artillery battalion alone.

Gao Quan's speed is not fast, and the devil is also not fast. The devil's weapons and equipment are advanced, and they bring more baggage and materials. There are still three lightly armed teams in the 500 divisions, and these three regiments are even more convenient to catch up with the devils.

Ushijima Mitsuru led his troops not far before they were overtaken by three lightly armed regiments of the 500th Division. The three regiments were like grasshoppers smelling blood, and when they went up, they entangled the Ushijima detachment, each chose an opening, and drilled into it with their lives.

Although there are many people in the detachment led by Ushijima and those directly subordinate troops, their combat effectiveness is not very strong, and they obviously do not have much to deal with when they encounter these fierce and difficult Chinese troops. It didn't take long for these three troops to attack the ranks of their marching army.

These are three regiments, thousands of armies armed and combat-ready, not three small bugs. Ushijima's troops were not much larger than the three regiments, and the three regiments of the 500 Division were divided into three different directions, and the devils not only slowed down their advance speed when attacking the interior of the Japanese army, but it was difficult for them to maintain their original marching formation.

Fortunately, these three regiments did not aim to annihilate the Japanese army, they just chose one direction and one direction to attack forward. If the Japanese troops stood in their way, some of the soldiers of the 500th Division attacked fiercely; And if the Japanese army retreated, our troops ignored him and marched forward quickly.

Although these troops led by Ushijima are not the main combat arms, they are also devils with guns and cannons, and they are regular Japanese troops, and at the beginning, of course, they will not allow other armies to attack their marching order.

Resistance is inevitable, and so is fighting. When the Japanese paid the price of blood and found that if they wanted to drive these three Chinese armies out, they would probably have to suffer unacceptable losses, and it became a natural outcome to retreat.

While the three regiments were entangled with the Japanese army, the four larger military groups behind them were rapidly approaching. After General Ushijima learned of this situation, he immediately shouted to Okamoto Daisa, asking the 23rd Wing to quickly move closer to him, who knew that Okamoto Daisa was also in trouble at this time.
