Two hours after nightfall, Kosa Nakagawa, who had returned quickly from the front, finally joined up with the main force of the 36th Wing.

When the Baoshan battalion broke through, although the headquarters of the 36th Wing was wiped out, and the two squadrons directly under the command headquarters were also heavily damaged, the main forces of the three infantry brigades stationed in the remaining directions did not suffer any losses.

In the previous battle of attacking the Sixing warehouse, the 36th Wing lost two squadrons in addition to the first six days, and later it has always been the Fengtian Garrison Brigade in Yuzhishan to play the main attack, and the 36th Wing has basically not been damaged again, therefore, the entire 36th Wing is the main force still exists, and as soon as Nakagawa Kosa arrived, the entire Wing immediately regained its combat effectiveness.

When Nakagawa Kosa stepped out of the armored car, the three captains were already standing on the side of the road.

"Nakamura-kun, Tachihara-kun, Otake-kun." Nakagawa Guang and the three captains greeted each other one by one, and immediately went straight to the topic, "Has the Baoshan battalion caught up?" ”

Shiro Nakamura, the captain of the 1st Brigade, said: "Your Excellency, by the time we arrived at the location provided by the Special High School, the people of China had already run away. ”

"Yaga!" When Nakagawa Hiroshi heard this, he was immediately furious, and he slapped Shiro Nakamura in the face with a slap.

"Hello!" Shiro Nakamura suddenly bowed his head, and Shunzo Tachihara and Nobuo Otake next to him also bowed their heads and stood up.

Nobuo Otake even explained: "Your Excellency, although we failed to catch up with the Shina people, the aviation still pointed us out the direction in which several of the Shina troops fled. ”

Nakagawa Hiroshi suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice: "Dazhu-kun, please tell me, where did these people run away?" ”

Otake Nobuo said: "Your Excellency Dazuo, according to the reconnaissance of the aviation army, the people of China have broken up and fled separately, some to the west, some to the south, some to the north, and there are even those who rushed back to Shanghai in a panic, so we can't accurately judge the real direction of the people of China, but ......"

"Yagayaru, idiot!" Nakagawa said angrily, "This is just the usual trick of the Shina people, they are breaking through separately!" ”

"Your Excellency Dazuo is angry." Tachihara Shunzo hurriedly explained, "We also suspected that this group of Shina people was carrying out a plan to break out separately, so with the help of aviation scouts, we followed a few small groups of Shina troops to chase here, and we also judged that the mountain area ahead should be their temporary assembly place. ”

"Yo Si." Nakagawa Guang nodded and said, "Immediately divide troops to block the mountainous area." ”

Tachihara Shunzo hesitated for a moment, but still reminded: "Your Excellency Dazuo, according to the information provided by the Special High School, this group of Chinese troops is not an ordinary Chinese army, they are very good at surprise attacks, and they are even better at night attacks, if we divide our troops to block the mountainous areas, we are likely to be ambushed by the other party." ”

"Baga, this group of defeated soldiers has been disheartened and has completely lost the will to fight, how can they launch a counterattack against the imperial army?" Nakagawa Hiroshi was immediately furious when he heard this, which is understandable, after all, he had just been transferred from the division headquarters, and he had not yet fought head-on with the Baoshan battalion, so he didn't know what was going on, and the most important thing was that Nakagawa Daisa was eager to annihilate this group of defeated soldiers, in order to gain the appreciation of Yoshika Ryosuke and Matsui Ishone.

"Hello." The three captains agreed with a bang, and immediately led the troops to block the traffic arteries.

…………

The judgment of the little devils of Tachihara Shunzo was basically accurate, and the mountainous area dozens of miles ahead was indeed the assembly place chosen by Yue Weihan, but by the time they judged their intentions, most of the Baoshan battalion had already been assembled, and at this time, thinking about blocking the assembly area, the time was already half a beat slower.

Cao Xinglong, Chi Chengfeng, and Niu Dagen had already returned to Yue Weihan with their troops.

Yue Weihan asked, "Dalong Dagen, Lao Chi, how is the situation?" Have the brethren all returned? ”

Chi Chengfeng preemptively said: "His grandmother, the brothers have suffered a big loss this time, although they were not caught up by the devil's infantry, but the little devil's plane hovered over our heads all day, throwing bombs and machine guns, many brothers hung up the lottery, two recruits ran away, and there were six brothers...... Can't come back. ”

Yue Weihan's face suddenly sank, and he asked Cao Xinglong and Niu Dagen: "Dalong Dagen, what about the first company and the machine gun company?" ”

"It's pretty much the same." Cao Xinglong and Niu Dagen also held back their stomachs, and said, "Yingzuo, this time we are really home, let the little devil chase us like a rabbit, but we have no way to take the little devil's plane, when has our Baoshan battalion suffered such a loss since the breakthrough of Baoshan!" ”

Yue Weihan watched the officers and soldiers who ran back coldly, except for the thirty or so veterans of the old 3rd battalion brought out from Baoshan, the rest of them, whether they were the original Sichuan army or the Gui army, were already a little depressed at this time, not to mention those recruits, all of them looked numb and looked like dead people with empty eyes.

What is a rabble? This is the rabble! When fighting a tailwind battle, they can fight more and more bravely, and they have the momentum to even break the sky, but once they fight against the wind, they will immediately slack off, compared with the real elite of a hundred battles, they do not lack courage, technology, and physical fitness, but they only lack the most important will!

A real elite of a hundred battles must have a tenacious will like steel, no matter the difficulties and dangers, no matter the hardships and tribulations, they can face it calmly and deal with it calmly.

However, there is an excellent opportunity in front of us, which can not only temper the will and quality of this group of defeated soldiers, so that they can regain their confidence in defeating the Japanese army, but also create an opportunity for a safe breakthrough.

Yue Weihan had to admit that the 17 permanent divisions of the Yue Army can be called elite divisions even if they look at the world!

These 17 permanent divisions and regiments are far superior to the [***] of the same period, and what is even more terrifying is that the soldiers of these 17 permanent divisions and regiments all extremely advocate the spirit of bushido and have an unimaginable will to fight, and an ironclad fact is that in the first two years after the war of aggression against China broke out, there were almost no soldiers who surrendered!

However, the elite permanent divisions of the army are not invulnerable, and they also have weaknesses.

At the end of 1938, the army ended its offensive on the frontal battlefield and turned to concentrate on encircling and suppressing the armed forces of the Eighth Route Army in the occupied area, but the Eighth Route Army was still able to mix well behind enemy lines in North China, because the army was extremely unsuitable for the unconventional tactics of the Eighth Route Army.

This situation did not change until 1941, when Gangmura Ninji became commander of the North China Front.

Don't look at the fact that there are less than 100 people left in the Baoshan Battalion now, and the weapons and equipment are not as good as before, but as long as you choose the right terrain and concentrate all your efforts to fight a night ambush, you can definitely catch the arrogant army off guard, and even wipe out one or two infantry squads.

These words are long, but in Yue Weihan's mind, they are just a matter of thought.

At that moment, Yue Weihan took a deep breath of cold air and shouted: "That's right, since our Baoshan battalion broke through Baoshan, we have always been the only one who beats the little devils, when have we ever suffered such a loss?" Brothers, if we don't avenge this revenge today, will we still be in the Baoshan camp? Can we still be considered soldiers? ”

"Revenge! Avenge! Avenge! The veterans of the old 3rd Battalion suddenly roared hoarsely.

Yue Weihan waved his hand and said in a cruel voice: "Others are gentlemen to take revenge, ten years is not too late, but our Baoshan camp is not, our Baoshan camp has revenge, and it is to be avenged immediately!" Brothers, if you don't get the field back today, everyone will be gelding, and then go to the palace as eunuchs, go! ”

"Let's go, kill the little devil who said the dog!"

"His grandmother, this matter can't be finished!"

"Donkey said, don't kill a few little devils tonight, I have his surname!"

The veterans of the old 3rd battalion suddenly shouted and shouted, and the originally depressed defeated soldiers and numb recruits finally recovered some of their spirits a little, and they also rolled up their sleeves and scolded, as if they couldn't show that they were masters without scolding a few words, and they couldn't show that they were a leader without scolding a few words.

Only Liu Xin lowered his face and whispered: Phew, what kind of officers and soldiers are these? It's vulgar.
