********************************************************************

Waving his hand vigorously, Kurayong Kaichi continued: "Is the enemy in the town deliberately showing weakness in order to firmly stick to us. But the remnants of the Dragon King Temple's Imperial Alliance Army were able to hold on, was it deliberately done by the enemy to increase our fantasies and luck psychology? ”

Fujisawa looked at Kuranaga in a daze, he couldn't believe that all this was true, the situation had taken a sharp turn for the worse, not only could it change from active attack to passive beating, and even faced the threat of total defeat.

Could this really be the case? He couldn't turn this person around for a while. Kuranaga's words seemed to have a counter-force in him, causing him to instinctively resist. The more serious Kuranaga said, the more he couldn't accept it, and even wondered if Kuranaga was a little nervous.

"Boom!" A loud bang came from not far away, and Kuranaga frowned, but to show composure and composure, he didn't run out to see what was going on.

Fujisawa didn't move, and Kuranaga looked at Fujisawa's eyes and guessed his general idea, which was not to believe that these assumptions were true. He understood that a conservative-minded soldier like Fujisawa was stuck in the old ways, moving step by step, his mind was full of the old set of scholastic dogmas, he was accustomed to acting according to an infantry discipline, he was not familiar with irregular tactics and tactics, and it was difficult for him to respond flexibly and quickly to complex and changeable situations.

"Report." A staff officer ran to report that "a shell fell nearby and did not cause damage." ”

Kuranaga thought for a while, but never dreamed that the enemy had heavy mortars with a strike distance of more than five kilometers. But he felt that this seemed to be a bad omen, and the enemy seemed to be hiding artillery fire nearby. Turning his head to look at Fujisawa, he knew that it was useless to talk too much now, and it was not the time to be patient and enlightened, so he could only give orders based on his own authority.

"Command." Cang Yongjia said loudly to his staff officers: "The troops attacking the town will withdraw immediately, pack up their bags, and the whole army will move overnight to attack the Dragon King Temple." He turned to Fujisawa and ordered: "Lead your troops, immediately receive them and retreat, and guard against the enemy's counterattack and entanglement." ”

……………

It's late, it's too late for Kaichi Kuranaga.

After the attrition of the street fighting, the Japanese army in Datang transferred another squadron to reinforce the Dragon King Temple, even if part of the puppet army was added, Yang Tianfeng could make up his mind to start the general attack.

Ten 120 heavy guns were already ready four kilometers away, and Wang Guang, who had become an artillery expert, ran back and forth, using instruments to correct slight deviations such as angles and elevation angles.

As the first intermittent bombardment, the artillery battalion was well prepared, and the distance was repeatedly measured in advance, but Wang Guang and the others were still serious to the point of being harsh.

In the distance, a large force of troops had already been dispatched and began to march towards Eighteen Mile Town.

Following the radio guidance of the lurking observation post, the shooting Zhuyuan was readjusted. Wang Guang let out a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his head, looked at the artillerymen who were staring at him, and waved his hand to give the order.

In the midst of the continuous sound of artillery fire, he looked into the distance, imagining the dense cannonballs tearing the enemy to shreds.

…………

Kuranaga's order had just been issued, and the troops had not yet received it, and they had not even begun to prepare. The salvo shells slammed down like hail with a heart-pounding screech of friction against the air.

A violent wave of air toppled the tent, and huge clouds of smoke and dust covered the starry sky. The sky shook, the cannon roared, and the panicked enemy hid in Tibet, and from time to time fell with a bloody mist; On the artillery position, the hit artillery was like a fragile glass bottle, and the parts were torn apart and exploded; The shells exploded, on the ground and in the air, like fireworks.

In less than a minute, the artillery fire was fierce, and nearly 100 heavy mortar shells were camped by the big tribes, and less than half destroyed the artillery positions of the devils.

When the shelling finally stopped, the terrible tremors in the air gradually subsided. Kuronaga and other officers, who had narrowly escaped the blow, climbed out of the tent that had been knocked down and looked around in panic.

The bleak moonlight shone down through the smoke that filled the air, and they were stunned to see that the surrounding area and the artillery positions were already covered with craters of black smoke, piles of mud and debris were filled with them, and the casualties had not yet been counted, but looking at this tragic scene, at least two or three hundred casualties did not run.

Artillery, artillery, infantry, baggage...... Kuronaga felt dizzy, as if he had not yet woken up from the shock of the explosion, but this was not true, he was shocked and frightened by the loss in front of him.

A large team of more than 1,000 people, two or three hundred casualties in the street fighting, Mugu's squadron was transferred, plus this round of terrible artillery fire, how many men and horses is left? How many more brave and combative locust soldiers are there? Will the enemy just shell so simply?

Sure enough, the officers and men of the Third Column, who had been compressed to one-third of their positions in the town and stubbornly resisted, launched a counterattack, and without the threat of enemy artillery, several flying thunder guns and ammunition were moved out of the shelter again, and under the cover of the ruins, they bombarded the enemy fiercely.

In the dazzling light of the explosion, several positions were swept away by the powerful shock wave after the explosion! The enemy trapped in the town suffered heavy casualties in the flying of masonry and shrapnel.

"Assemble, retreat!" Kuranaga breathed heavily, trying to make his mind think, and now it seemed that only this order was the most reasonable, but he realized that his voice was so hoarse that he didn't even hear the staff officer who was close to him.

Kuranaga's order was finally delivered, but the execution was inefficient in the chaos, and before the enemy could prepare, the shouts of killing had already sounded. Yang Tianfeng commanded more than 1,500 soldiers, divided into two routes, from the north and south sides of Shibaili Town, and the defenders in the town also continued to counterattack, firmly clinging to the retreating enemy.

The shouts of killing and the sound of guns and cannons rang out in all directions, and Cang Yong didn't know where to smash the hastily assembled more than 200 soldiers for a while.

In less than half an hour, the left flank had already broken through after being shelled, and the first thing to lose was the courage to fight, and it was still the puppet army that had an irrepressible rout. Several Japanese advisers desperately shouted and blocked to no avail, the daring puppet soldiers began to shoot at them, and more puppet soldiers began to raise their hands in surrender.

The town's troops were barely withdrawn, and less than a hundred remained, with many wounded. The defenders in the town pursued and killed, and the left flank also began to sweep in a roundabout way, looking at the posture to completely surround the enemy. Immediately after that, the right flank was broken through, and in the misty night, by the flash of the explosion, Kuranaga and the others could even faintly see the enemy's figure, and behind the charging infantry, light mortar shells had also begun to bombard here.

"Your Excellency, please go first." Fujisawa had bandages wrapped around his head and ran over with blood-red eyes, "Leave cover for your humble duties." ”

Kuranaga was already in a state of confusion, and the troops he sent were blocking everything in the east, and the consumption was very fast, and there was only one squad left by his side.

Fujisawa shouted at a few staff officers who were in a daze, "Quickly escort His Excellency Kuranaga to leave in the car, what are you bastard doing!" ”

Only then did the staff officers wake up, pull Kuranaga with them, and flee into the distance with a small team.
