"Yaga, how can this be, how can the defenders have such strong firepower, could it be that the two infantry brigades we entered the city have been wiped out......" After seeing the battlefield situation in his eyes, Sakata, who was still full of confidence just now, directly became incredible. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After some hesitation and thinking, he retorted: "Impossible, there are still gunshots coming out of the city, indicating that the two infantry brigades are still fighting...... Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on? ”

Lieutenant General Matsumoto next to him had a gloomy face.

Although it has long been guessed that this could be a conspiracy.

But Matsumoto did not expect that this conspiracy would be so flawless, and the defenders' appetite would be so great that they would eat the self-scolding in one bite to vent their dissatisfaction and anger in their hearts. Two infantry wings.

After looking at Kamisakata into his gaze, Matsumoto replied in a heavy tone: "Conspiracy, it is a conspiracy from beginning to end, and the Liaodong Army wants to eat the conspiracy of our two infantry wings here......"

"Baga, the Liaodong Army is too cunning......" After accepting this fact with an unwilling face, Sakata could only vent his dissatisfaction and anger with scolding.

However, scolding and scolding, the battlefield was completely pressed and beaten by the defenders, and they couldn't ignore it.

After scolding a few words, Sakata, who was in a much better mood, immediately pinned his hopes on Matsumoto himself, and asked eagerly: "Matsumoto-kun, we have no other infantry in our hands except for the guard troops...... The remaining half of the brigade on the battlefield must be rescued no matter what......"

Matsumoto also wanted to save, however, with the loss of most of the heavy machine guns, it was almost impossible to pose a threat to the defenders. No matter how capable Matsumoto is, he can't get his subordinates to put on invulnerable armor and exit the battlefield alive.

After shaking his head helplessly, Matsumoto had to admit: "The defenders' firepower is too strong...... We suffered heavy losses from our heavy machine guns, and without artillery, there was simply no way to provide them with any support. ”

"Now, the only thing we can do is to give the order to retreat and pray to Amaterasu for his blessing. Let more of our warriors come back alive. ”

Placing hundreds of lives on a god he never believed in was absolutely inconceivable to Sakata.

However, when he saw the helplessness and heaviness on Matsumoto's face, Sakata could only bury this incredibleness deep in his heart.

Then. Lieutenant General Matsumoto directly ordered: "Retreat, notify the attacking troops, retreat immediately, and return as many people as you can......"

"Also, order the attacking troops in the other three directions to retreat immediately......"

"The defenders have set us such a big trap at the north gate. There must also be traps in the other three directions, and we have limited forces and can no longer afford to lose......"

Immediately, the Japanese, having received orders on the battlefield, began to retreat.

Under the frantic fire of the defenders, the Japanese lying on the ground attracted a large number of bullets at the slightest movement.

Therefore, the four or five hundred Japanese troops were not so much retreating as sending them to their deaths.

Many Japanese had just risen from the ground when the dense bullets knocked him into a hornet's nest. Fall to the ground again.

Even if some of the Japanese were lucky enough to get up and start retreating.

However, if you want to run more than 200 meters of fire interception and survive, the chances are very slim.

In the end, there were more than 500 Japanese troops, and those who managed to withdraw from the battlefield were not even 100 people.

Looking at the frightened subordinates in front of them, the two divisions did not speak for a long time.

Two infantry wings, nearly seven thousand elites. In just a few hours, he was beaten to the point that there were only a few people left.

It's all about it. It was all caused by the commanders of the two divisions themselves.

Therefore, the bitter fruit of this can only be swallowed by the two division commanders themselves.

At this moment, the troops of the other three directions retreated one after another.

An infantry wing attacking the east gate. There were more than 3,500 people when they left, and now there are less than 2,000 people returning.

An infantry wing that attacked from the south gate, more than 3,500 people, now has more than 1,800 people left.

The only thing that made Matsumoto and Sakata feel fortunate was that they besieged Fengcheng with the siege of three missing one, and although they also arranged an infantry wing at the south gate, this infantry wing did not attack. Only lurking outside the city as an ambush.

So, more than 3,000 people of this infantry wing came back intact.

Faced with this result, Lieutenant General Sakata regretted it in addition to regretting it.

Facing Matsumoto, he said helplessly: "Matsumoto-kun, if I had listened to you from the beginning, the warriors of the nearly 10,000 imperial army would not have died outside Fengcheng City in vain...... When I go back, I will take the initiative to ask the commander-in-chief for ......"

Matsumoto didn't dwell on this question, and replied with a wry smile to Lieutenant General Sakata: "Sakata-kun, I think the most important thing we should discuss now is how to bring back the remaining troops of the two divisions......

"Take it back......" Sakata's brows furrowed, and he subconsciously asked rhetorically.

"Matsumoto-kun, you mean, it's hard for us to even go back now?"

Speaking of this, Sakata directly retorted himself: "Impossible, absolutely impossible...... Together with the sappers, baggage, and division headquarters, we still have more than 12,000 people, which is still a very powerful force......"

"Even if the Liaodong Army wants to surround us here, they don't have the strength. As long as we want to break through, even if Lao Maozi comes, we can't stop us, not to mention the Liaodong Army composed of a group of Qing Dynasty people. ”

Seeing the arrogant expression on Sakata's face, Matsumoto-kun wanted to say that in the battle that ended just now, we were facing the Liaodong Army. If the Liaodong Army can destroy our 10,000 elites on the frontal battlefield, then it has the ability to surround us here.

However, Matsumoto did not say this sentence to increase the morale of others and destroy his own prestige.

Of course, in order to prevent Sakata from making the mistake of underestimating the enemy again, Matsumoto still said euphemistically: "Sakata-kun, we have more than 10,000 people...... However, more than 10,000 people were not equipped with a single artillery, and even heavy machine guns were left with only a hundred or so ......"

"As for the Liaodong Army, even if their combat effectiveness is not very good. But they were armed with one or two hundred artillery pieces, hundreds of light and heavy machine guns......"

Lieutenant General Sakata fell silent for a moment, and the arrogance on his face was replaced by heaviness again. Asked Matsumoto.

"Then what do we do next......

"It's ...... time with the Liaodong Army," Matsumoto replied without thinking.

"The Liaodong Army has set such a big trap for us to attack Fengcheng, the purpose is to consume a large number of our troops, let us lose our troops, and weaken our strength......"

"Now, the purpose of the Liaodong Army has been achieved......"

"If I were the commander of the Liaodong Army, I would have sent troops to block all the roads for our breakthrough and retreat, surround us here, and annihilate our ......"

After thinking about all his experiences today, Lieutenant General Sakata had to admit that Matsumoto was right.

He frowned and affirmed loudly: "It must be like this......"

"Matsumoto-kun, this time I'll listen to you, and I'll do what you say......" (To be continued.) )
