The massacre didn't actually achieve much success, because no matter how effective the Ming army's weapons were, the total number of Japanese attacking troops was only a small one. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There were only a few squadrons of Japanese troops, and there were no more than 1,000 people in total. And after the Ming army opened fire, they were desperately retreating. Soon they withdrew from the range of fire of the Ming army, and then went into the woods to count their losses.

Obviously, even if it is a small loss, it is a fatal loss for the Japanese soldiers at this moment, and it seems that more than 200 people were lost in the battle in one breath, and it seems that there is no damage to the bones, but it is obviously impossible to let these Japanese troops attack again.

"Sir...... The Ming army built defensive positions outside the city, and the number of defenders was also quite large. We have suffered heavy losses and cannot fight any longer! A second lieutenant of the Japanese army, who was driven back to the starting place by the bullet, looked at his wing commander and reported with a disgraced face.

The situation is very obvious now, no matter how much the commanders urge, the Japanese soldiers who are sitting on the ground with their hands together for warmth are not willing to take a step forward.

It is simply a big joke to expect such troops to fight, or even to fight a difficult battle, and to fight hard with the Ming army for a day or even two days.

Glancing at his subordinates, the wing commander, who had already tried as much as possible, smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said, "Wait, we have done our best, wait for the main force of the military department to arrive, and then make plans." ”

Under normal circumstances, a Japanese wing would have to attack at least twice or even three times before asking for rest or giving up. The number of losses is also generally between 400 and 600 people.

But the current Japanese army has completely lost that kind of sharpness. Being able to restrain his subordinates to tentatively launch an attack is already considered a very wise mind of this wing commander.

But at this time, he had nothing to do, before he could let his subordinates test it with righteousness, but the result of this temptation was not good, and he couldn't make him decide to fight anymore no matter what.

If he had forcibly ordered his troops to continue the offensive now, he would have mutinied immediately. When the time comes, the troops will break up if they are not in trouble, then he, the wing commander, will really do it.

I waited for a whole afternoon. At nightfall, troops arrived one after another, and in the snowy weather, the Japanese army fell into an unprecedented passivity.

First of all, there are no more Japanese soldiers to eat and drink, and even if they set up camp, they don't have the courage to bury pots and cook. The rest of their food is really stretched, and even many of the commanders of the troops have no serious food.

If it's summer, you can still find some wild vegetables, but it's already a cold winter, and you can't find a single green leaf in this weather, so where can you find wild vegetables to eat?

"Why not attack? Stupidly waiting here for an afternoon? As soon as the division commander walked into the tent, he had a collapsed expression on his face. His troops were scattered like bandits, without even a proper camp.

"Sir! In this case, our troops simply have no combat capability, and what is the use of barely launching an offensive except for increasing casualties? The captain of the wing also had the expression of a dead father, and opened his mouth to defend himself.

"Do you still have a firm Yamato soul? You're still not a samurai to His Majesty the Emperor? The division commander stared into the eyes of the wing commander, interrupted the other party's defense, and said fiercely.

The wing commander was aggrieved, he hadn't eaten lunch until now, and most of his troops were like this, there was a shortage of ammunition and the people's hearts were unstable, where did he dare to continue to attack?

Originally, in addition to sadness and chagrin in his stomach, the wing captain who didn't even have a piece of dry food didn't care about anything else, he didn't want to carry this kind of black cauldron, so he opened his mouth and continued to retort: "Sir! I tried to attack in the afternoon and suffered heavy losses! My wing has fought valiantly for the sake of the Japanese Empire. ”

The division commander actually knew what his troops had become, and he could only lose his temper at this time, so he continued to interrupt the wing commander's explanation, and said in a cold voice: "There are 100,000 Japanese soldiers behind you, don't you think about them?" Are you ......?"

He couldn't go on saying this, because those Japanese soldiers who were still in the wind and snow actually had no combat effectiveness at all. If he forced his troops to attack, what would he get in the end?

As long as he is not a fool, he would not think that the Japanese army could retake Xianxing from the hands of the Ming army. Although the snow was falling, the Ming army in Xianxing City at least had a house to warm up and at least a wall to block the wind.

What did the Japanese army have? Do you really want to use the ethereal so-called "Yamato soul", or the spirit of bushido, or something like that, to fight to the death with the long spears and short cannons of the Ming army?

I'm afraid that if he can hold on to it, his troops will completely collapse after a few temptations, right? Even if you are lucky enough to recapture Xianxing, what about Dingping, which is less than 10 kilometers away from Xianxing? What else to fight?

Miyamoto Youren had also received the news that the 5th Army was besieged at this time, and in fact, this news had no practical meaning for him. Because in front of him, standing was General Takanomiya Mitsui, who had already rushed to the front line.

"The 5th Army was besieged at the Battle Ridge...... The 17th and 8th divisions of the 3rd Army were completely annihilated, the 2nd Division lost a third, and the 20th Division lost almost a third; The 2nd Army lost the 5th Division...... I am a sinner of the state, and if it weren't for waiting for you to take my place, I would have apologized a long time ago. With his legs together, Miyamoto was hunched over, and there was no expression on his face.

Mitsui Xiaogong patted the other party's shoulder and said comfortingly: "Your Excellency General doesn't need to be like this, you have already behaved very well, but the attack of the Ming army is even more unexpected." ”

"Now that General Mitsui has arrived, then I don't have anything to worry about, long live the Great Japanese Empire, and the rest of the matter will be handed over to Your Excellency the General." As if he hadn't heard Mitsui Takanomiya's persuasion, Miyamoto continued to talk to himself.

Jiro Yamaguchi on the side shook his head, he knew that Miyamoto Yuhito had indeed begged for death. This war has been fought to the current situation, if he does not commit suicide and apologize, how can he be worthy of the 150,000 soldiers lost? (To be continued.) )
