Chapter 141: The Third Division withdraws

"Inoue-kun, you immediately lead the troops to withdraw from the position and come to the position of the Sixth Wing, you are needed here! What the? Your soldiers are all artillerymen? The artillerymen picked up their guns, they were equally brave infantrymen! ”

"There are only three branches of our Imperial Japanese Army, one is the navy, one is the air force, and the other is the army! Can your soldiers fly? They won't; Will they sail? Neither will they. Then you and your soldiers can only be the Army. The army is the infantry, and it has to pick up the gun and fight. Alright, take your remaining three infantry guns, and all the soldiers under your command to report to the Sixth Wing immediately, I'm waiting for you here! ”

After successfully using sophistry to fool Kakutaro Inoue, Yamamoto Sano snorted two minor tunes triumphantly, and a voice shouted a report from outside.

"Come in." Lieutenant General Yamamoto sat upright, sitting on a stool made of two bullet boxes with a solemn face, holding a saber in his hand, and his demeanor was majestic.

"Report, a soldier who came back from the battlefield said that he had important information to report to you in person." Although the conditions were a little rudimentary, the orderly was still polite, and knocked twice on the bullet box before coming over to report the message.

"What's the important information? Bring him here. "This time, the lieutenant general won't talk about coming in. He was sitting in the trench, and both sides were open, and the word came in again, it seemed a little too hypocritical, and even Yamamoto Mitsuo himself couldn't stand it.

"Report to the division commander, I, I followed Muraoka Daisa to the division headquarters. Our troops were attacked by the Chinese troops! "The devil soldier Cao Cao who came in was covered in dirt all over his body, and he looked dirty, and he didn't know where he arched out.

"Where's Muraoka Daisa?" Yamamoto Sano glared at him and sharply questioned this devil soldier who was dirt. He had already received the news of the total annihilation of the Muraoka brigade, and this devil was the first person the division commander had seen to escape from that unit.

"Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff." The devil looked at Lieutenant General Yamamoto, whose face was getting ugly, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, seeing that the division commander was already looking for his war knife everywhere, the devil who escaped back rushed to the middle of the emergency, and knelt on the ground with a poof, and after a cry, tears and snot followed, this guy is a good actor!

"Division commander, there are too many people in the Chinese army! They took advantage of the darkness to shoot at us from all directions, throwing ten grenades and ten grenades, exploding in pieces! We have nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide, and we can't see the direction of the enemy if we want to fight back! Under such difficult conditions, Chief of Staff Muraoka still heroically led us to attack! I saw with my own eyes that His Excellency Osa was hit by hundreds of shrapnel and died heroically! ”

"The Chinese army surrounded us from all sides, and they fought around us like a wild beast, and they didn't stop for a minute! In order to report our encounter to the division commander, dozens of us rushed out together! My comrades-in-arms sacrificed one after another, and in the end, only I broke out of the encirclement, and then I reported the bad news to the division commander! General, you must avenge Okamura Dazuo and your comrades-in-arms! Woo-" The devil soldier hugged Lieutenant General Yamamoto's thigh and cried, and he didn't know whether he was crying for what happened to Muraoka Daisa, or he was frightened by the evil aura of the division commander.

"Okay, I see. Muraoka-kun is a fearless warrior who swears allegiance to the emperor and an admirable hero! We must pay tribute to the heroes, and even more avenge the heroes! After you take a break, go to Yoshioka Shaosa to report, and let's go to the battlefield together to avenge Muraoka Daisa! ”

"Hey!" The devil, who was still crying bitterly just now, stopped his sorrow, stood up straight, saluted the division commander, and resolutely went to the other end of the trench.

"Report to the general, telegram from the military headquarters!" The staff officer trotted over with the telegram in his hand and reported it, and looking at his anxious look, it seemed as if something terrible had happened.

Yamamoto Sano snatched the telegram draft, scanned it at a glance, and then froze.

"The fleet led by Major General Satomi Kanji has been intercepted by the Chongqing 500 Army, and the escort fleet of the 3rd Division is automatically invalid. Lieutenant General Mitsuo Yamamoto is requested to immediately lead his troops back to their original station, Yingshan, to rest and recuperate. The signature on the back is Isamu Yokoyama, commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese occupation forces.

Returning to your home station? Is this how this war ended? Yamamoto Sano hates in his heart! If he had been allowed to encounter the 500 Army before the Battle of Western Hubei, he would have killed the 500 Army that had caused several humiliations to the 3rd Division!

During the month-long Battle of Western Hubei, the 3rd Division always fought on the front line from beginning to end, fighting against many ace armies of the Chinese army, and even the wing commander of the 6th Wing, Nakahata Godaisa, was seriously wounded and comatose by the Chinese's machine guns, and he did not know whether he was alive or dead, and the division's military losses were as high as 10 percent! Among them, the sixty-eighth regiment was also sent to the field detachment. In this extremely unfavorable situation, Lieutenant General Yamamoto still stubbornly fought against the 500 Army, and lost the cavalry wing commander and chief of staff in the battle!

Commander Isamu Yokoyama gave him the order to return at this moment! If you don't go back, first of all, you will disobey the military order, and secondly, even if he fights hard regardless of the order, he will not be able to defeat the 500 army now! Even if the other two wings of the 3rd Division came up, he would not be able to defeat the 500 Army, which had already become strong! Yamamoto was dismayed to find that now he had no other way to choose than to withdraw his troops. Gao Quan, you wait, I remember you! Let's ride a donkey and read the record book, and we'll see!

Before leaving, the old devil sent a telegram to the two captains who were rushing to him: Don't come here, this is a nest of right and wrong, and I'm about to leave, let's see you big guys in Yingshan County!

The 3rd Division has withdrawn! According to the consistent practice of our army, if the enemy withdraws, our army will inevitably follow and pursue, and only in the course of pursuit can it be possible to annihilate the enemy, and only when the pursuit battle is fought can it be the easiest and the most meritorious service! Therefore, when they heard that the 3rd Division had withdrawn, the generals of the 500th Army immediately asked Gao Quan for an order to pursue the Japanese Invaders!

Who wouldn't be a bargain? Especially when there is a advantage to be taken, Gao Quan has never been willing to be left behind, but this time, Commander Gao gave an order that surprised everyone, all the troops of the 500 Army are not allowed to pursue, and all the officers and generals will reorganize the team and protect the fleet to go upstream and go to the direction of Yichang!

The task of the 500 Army in this battle has been basically completed, the fleet has been captured, and now it is almost handed over to Wu Qiwei. For Gao Quan personally, he has exceeded the goals set before the war. The murderous demon king Nakajima Isago has been slaughtered by Gao Quan's own hands, and the corpse was thrown into the river to feed the fish, and the idea of fighting with the third division has also come true, and the third division has also been beaten away by him, and Dazuo has killed two, and there are many of them. It's nothing to chase down any longer, but Gao Quan always has a feeling that he didn't hand over the fleet to Commander-in-Chief Wu, and he always seems to owe someone something.
