"Withdraw, withdraw!" At the same time as the Japanese army issued the order to attack, the Northeast Army also immediately issued an order to retreat, which is not that Zhou Jixian did not dare to fight to the death, but the strength of the two sides is not proportional at all, at a glance, I don't know how many Japanese troops are coming, even if they can't count, they can see at a glance that there are at least thousands of Japanese troops rushing over, and the soldiers of their battalion stay here, and there is no difference between looking for death.

"Boom, boom, boom" A few small shells of the Japanese army directly hit the grain bags used as shelters by the Northeast Army, and a large amount of wheat was directly **** into the air with the explosion, and many of them exuded a burnt fragrance. Several soldiers of the Northeast Army were also directly buried by a large amount of spilled wheat.

"The Japanese devils are here, run for your life, everyone run away!" The whole town was in a state of panic.

"Camp, the devil's army is gone! They are going to Jizhou County! Soon, the bright-minded soldier immediately reacted when he saw the Japanese soldiers who continued to move forward.

"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you go ahead and block it! Damn, I really have to wait for the Japanese army to rush over, not only the common people, but we also don't want to leave, Ergouzi, put the machine gun up on the slope, and wait for Lao Tzu to withdraw over there. Zhou Jixian organized his men to resist as much as he could, and at the same time began to arrange the back road. This is where the advantage of familiarity with the terrain comes in. Zhou Jixian was stationed here during this time, and soon thought of an excellent place to counterattack.

When the Japanese first arrived, it was night, and at this time, Takeken Michizhi only knew that he wanted to end the battle as quickly as possible, not to annihilate the enemy, but to defeat this enemy. They can't be allowed to assemble. threatens their back road.

Takeken didn't expect the enemy to think of countermeasures in such a short period of time. The enemy troops on the opposite side were slightly smaller than them, and even the most elite of the enemy's army, the Northwest Army, could only end up in hatred in this situation. The army that the elder disciples attacked this time were all the elite of the Japanese army, and they were the most capable of fighting tough battles and were not afraid of death. The quality of the Japanese army was vividly displayed at this moment. With the faint light of the fire, while the frontal Zhujiandao Straight Division suppressed the enemy troops on the opposite side, a grenadier was carried by several Japanese soldiers to less than 50 meters away from Zhou Jixian's right flank.

Tong! A grenade exploded not far from Zhou Jixian, directly overturning four or five people.

"Kill!" A small squad of Japanese troops rushed forward quickly against the light of the fire.

"Withdraw. Can't hold back, retreat! Zhou Jixian had a pain in his left arm, and he didn't need to look at it to know that it was a lottery.

The Japanese troops followed the fierce attack and rushed fiercely, but the gap between the two sides was narrowed in the night, and after the Japanese soldiers who rushed in front were directly knocked down by a shuttle of light machine guns, the Japanese troops who followed were much more cautious.

However, the injured Zhou Jixian led his soldiers to defeat but not chaos, and withdrew to the rear in turn. Zhu Jian Dao's face showed a solemn look, his war career began in the northeast, and he had seen too many defeated armies. There are not many opponents like Zhou Jixian, and the strength of a general does not lie in winning battles. Fight more and fight less. After all, when you have a good deck of cards in your hand, most people know how to play them.

It can face a strong attack from the enemy when it is at a disadvantage. He was still able to calmly retreat with his troops. And retreat without chaos, this is the time when a commander is most tested. The Battle of Songhu was the largest war of resistance in the Republic of China, and the scale of Shanxi, Suiyuan, and Hebei was unparalleled. After the defeat of the battle, hundreds of thousands of people withdrew in a mess and crowded together, and before the Japanese army could fight, they were in chaos. Later, the Japanese swept overhead with machine guns. It completely collapsed. Until Nanjing, order was not completely restored, and the Japanese army did not give these troops a chance to regroup, and directly attacked Nanjing in one go.

The more this is the case, the more determined Zhu Jian Daoyi is to destroy the other party, otherwise once they all go to fight the county seat of Jizhou, and such a difficult enemy stirs up trouble behind them, the threat will be great.

"Chase!" Looking at the direction of the enemy's retreat, Takejian Michiichi gave this order without hesitation.

After a period of chase, under the cross-fire of the heavy machine guns and two light machine guns arranged by Zhou Jixian, nearly 20 Japanese soldiers fell directly under the dense bullets. The Japanese offensive was stopped, and Zhou Jixuan finally successfully broke away from the pursuit of the Japanese army with most of them.

The strength of a battalion can get out smoothly under the pursuit of two squadrons of the Japanese army, and also give the Japanese army a certain amount of casualties.

Zhou Jixian's side fought well, but the main force of the 53rd Army had worrying consequences.

The 685th Regiment of Liu Yuanxun's Division, which guarded the county seat of Jizhou, fought desperately with the main force of the Japanese army, but due to the lack of heavy weapons, although it still kept the Japanese army out of the county seat. But at the same time that Liu Yuanxun fought to the death, a regiment of Liao Zhiyuan, which was originally stationed in Xinhe County, retreated directly after a short battle with the Japanese army, but on the way to retreat, it was caught up by the Japanese army pursuing by a car, and it was still useless to defend the city, not to mention the field battle with the Japanese army outside the city, and within a few rounds, it was defeated by the Japanese army, and more than 1,300 people were killed in the direct battle, and the entire regiment was crippled by the Japanese army on the way to retreat, and the rest were all scattered. Long Sakai took a multi-wing team to abandon the scattered 688 regiment, and in the case that Jizhou County has not yet been conquered, he made an astonishing move and continued to advance to Ningjin County, just Wan Fulin's military headquarters was located here, and Wan Fulin, who was only one regiment around, was shocked, and the Japanese army was not closely connected with each other, and even had many flaws, Wan Fulin, who had no will to fight, led the army to retreat without the permission of Yang Hucheng, so that in one day, the three county towns were lost one after another, What is even more critical is that with the retreat of Wan Fulin, the right rear flank of Shijiazhuang was completely exposed to the blade of the Japanese army, if the Japanese army was really copied to the rear and cut off the way, most of the troops of the 2nd and 3rd armies would be buried in the Shijiazhuang area.

In view of the breakthrough progress made in the Battle of Shijiazhuang, at this time the Japanese army was like smelling a bloody shark, and Sakagaki Seishiro, who played the title of Steel Army in the Battle of Xinkou, led the 5th Division to the east along the Zhengding line and went straight to the left flank of Shijiazhuang. Terauchi Shouichi made up his mind to encircle and annihilate the enemy's main force in Hebei, and immediately after Nagai Sataka made a breakthrough, he added an infantry wing, plus two light tank squadrons with strong mobility to form the Shangyue Detachment, which coordinated Nagai Takashi Takashi's attack.
