[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 888: The Japanese Army Escaped (Ask for Subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

The fierce gunfire ahead calmed Lieutenant General Maeda a little, and since the annihilation of the tank brigade an hour earlier, Lieutenant General Maeda had a sense of foreboding, that his 35th Division might be in a trap

However, out of a consistent mode of thinking, in Maeda's view, the Japanese army was the elite, and the 35th Division was the elite of the elite. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Under the influence of this kind of thinking, Lieutenant General Maeda Osamu knew that the Chinese defenders might have set a trap in front of the 35th Division, but instead of ordering the troops to retreat, he ordered the troops to speed up the march, and said: "Support the Yamaguchi Division!" ”

To tell the truth, Lieutenant General Maeda was really worried about the Yamaguchi Brigade at this time, although the Yamaguchi Brigade only had more than 800 people, but it was the essence of the 35th Division, and it was an invincible blade in the hands of Lieutenant General Maeda. It wouldn't be worth it if it was to be damaged here, so he still cared a lot about this army.

However, the gunfire in front of me was so intense that there was even the sound of shelling, and according to the sound of the gunfire, Lieutenant General Maeda Osamu judged that it was the sound of a mortar made in the Empire, which indicated that the Yamaguchi Brigade had not yet had an accident and was engaged in a bitter battle with the Japanese.

At the same time, it also shows that the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side is indeed extraordinary, otherwise the ordinary troops would have been broken through the main position by the Yamaguchi Division, and even if the enemy has one or two infantry regiments, it will be useless.

The fact that the fighting was so fierce now showed that the attack of the Yamaguchi division had been frustrated, and the combat effectiveness of the Shina army exceeded the expectations of the Yamaguchi division.

But soon Lieutenant General Maeda's heart rose again, and when the large army was less than two kilometers away from Jiajiaying's position, the gunfire in front of him subsided, and soon the whole battlefield fell silent, except for the occasional sound of one or two shots.

The experienced Lieutenant General Maeda knew that this was the end of the battle, that the two sides had won and lost, and that one side was cleaning up the battlefield and dealing with the prisoners.

Although Lieutenant General Maeda did not think that the Chinese defenders had the strength to defeat the Yamaguchi brigade, the tactics shown by the enemy on the other side really shocked him, a major general who had been in the army for twenty or thirty years. The Chinese defenders' ability to play tricks is indeed not covered, and it is not a little bit stronger than the Japanese army.

In the case of a frontal battle, Lieutenant General Maeda believed that the 35 th Division would have no problem even if it faced five Chinese infantry divisions, and that according to the establishment of ordinary divisions of the Nationalist Government, there would be more than 60,000 men in 10 infantry divisions, while the entire 35 th Division, including the baggage brigade, would have more than 11,000 people, and there would be more than 9,700 regular professional combat soldiers.

However, if the Chinese defenders had used some crooked and evil methods of irregular warfare, then Lieutenant General Maeda would have been somewhat unable to parry, and although only more than 30 infantry had been killed in the harassing march in the previous two days, nearly 200 casualties had been caused, and counting the strength to take care of the wounded, in just three and a half days, more than 600 soldiers of the 35th Division had temporarily lost their combat effectiveness.

After banishing some of the bad things that were cranky in his mind, Lieutenant General Maeda ordered loudly: "All troops speed up their march and send a few soldiers to the front to take a look!" ”

"Hay!"

Soon the speed of the whole army became even faster, and at this moment there was a commotion in front, and several soldiers sent out to explore the road carried a soldier covered in blood and ran in the direction of Lieutenant General Maedaji.

Lieutenant General Maeda knew that something was wrong, and he couldn't care about his reserve and demeanor, and after pushing away a staff officer who was about to scold these ordinary soldiers, he immediately greeted him and hurriedly asked, "You are a soldier of that unit, what happened ahead?" ”

The Japanese officer in the lieutenant's uniform said: "Report to Your Excellency the Division Commander, our search squadron had just walked less than two hundred meters forward when we met Second Lieutenant Taji, who was seriously wounded, and he said that there was something important to report to His Excellency the Division Commander, so we carried him back first. ”

"Yo Xi, you are working very well, is he seriously injured, is his life in danger, can you let him wake up first, I have something to ask him." Lieutenant General Maeda was desperate to find out what was going on there.

"The track and field lieutenant was seriously injured, his abdomen was hit by fragments of a Japanese mortar shell, if he didn't operate as soon as possible, the track and field lieutenant might not be able to survive today, and now the track and field lieutenant is in a coma, but it's okay to let him wake up temporarily, but he can't say much."

Lieutenant General Maeda said quickly: "Lieutenant, wake up Tai immediately, he knows what we need, immediately and quickly!" ”

"Hay!"

Soon the track and field lieutenant who was in a coma was woken up, and he really opened his eyes weakly to look at it, and when he saw Lieutenant General Maeda, his eyes lit up obviously, and then he said with a little excitement: "Report... Tell... The commander of the division ... Your Excellency, humble... Humble is Yamaguchi... The squad leader of the third squad of the first squadron of the Yamaguchi brigade, the cunning Japanese used a .... A... A giant land I've never seen before... Thunder... Ambushed our Yamaguchi brigade, and the entire brigade was wiped out... Destroyed..."

Before he could finish speaking, the track lieutenant fell unconscious again.

After hearing the news of the destruction of the Yamaguchi Brigade, Lieutenant General Maeda's throat was sweet for a while, and then he spit out a mouthful of red blood with a "wow", and the person suddenly became a little sluggish, which scared several Japanese officers on the side.

However, despite Lieutenant General Maeda's angry vomiting blood, his brain is still very clear, and he is even more rational than before.

After vomiting blood, Lieutenant General Maeda knew that the 35th Division had now lost its lead, and was completely led by the nose by the Chinese defenders at this time, and it would not achieve much success if it continued to fight.

Therefore, Lieutenant General Maeda Osamu made up his mind, and then issued an order that surprised all the Japanese officers: "The front and rear guards of the whole army, retreat immediately!" ”

After Wang Shanhu eliminated the Yamaguchi Brigade, he waited for the arrival of the 35th Division in the Jiajiaying position, and also notified the first and third regiments in the back, so that they could be ready to attack at any time, but just when Wang Shanhu was full of ambition and was ready to teach the Japanese army a hard lesson, a news came from the reconnaissance unit in front that made Wang Shanhu jump like thunder.

"What are you talking about? The little devil retreated, and the **** all saw it clearly, Lao Tzu's more than 2,000 brothers waited for the little devil here for a day and a night, how could the little devil say that he would leave! Did you see it clearly? Wang Shanhu yelled at Xiao Wang, the confidential member of the Second Regiment.

Although Xiao Wang was also very aggrieved in his heart, he secretly said that he was just a small confidential person who received and received telegrams, and he was not even the lowest-level cadre.

But these words are just Xiao Wang's own heart, he doesn't have the courage to fight with his own leader. At this time, Xue Anli on the side said dissatisfiedly: "Lao Wang, what are you doing here, what can't you say well?" Who knows how to answer you, I have just confirmed that the 35th Division has indeed withdrawn, and now it is five kilometers away, if you want to catch up, it will be too late? ”

"I... I... I... Who said I was going to chase, our second regiment is not as rich as the first regiment, as far as our second regiment relies on fortifications to fight with devils, but if you chase others, it will be a lot of fun, forget it, the great political commissar of heaven and earth is the largest, what to do or listen to the political commissar of An! Anyway, now that the battle is over, all of us are now under the jurisdiction of the Commissar of Ontar! Wang Shanhu said a little helplessly and a little really.

Wang Shanhu's temper is notoriously stinky in the entire military region, and scolding people is a common thing, because he didn't cover his mouth, and he caught what he scolded, so he was thrown down from the position of the commander of the main field infantry regiment half a year ago and threw him to the logistics department as a battalion commander, and told him that if he didn't get rid of his stinky temper of running trains all over the place, then he Wang Shanhu would stay in the logistics department for the rest of his life.

It was not until the army was expanded again that Wang Shanhu was activated again and was transferred to the second regiment of the fourth brigade of the second division as the commander of the regiment. (To be continued.) )
