However, after all, Seishiro Itagaki was a seventh-level ninja master comparable to a congenital peak powerhouse, and he quickly adjusted his luck and calmed down, his face was gloomy and terrifying.

Even Nishimura Riwin Daisa, who had been working with him, had a chilling feeling, not to mention that the two of them, Shigeru and Kagi Shaosa, who had returned from defeat, faced with the terrifying gaze of Seishiro Itagaki that was enough to kill people, their legs couldn't help but tremble, and they almost fell to their knees.

However, Itagaki Seishiro did not immediately hold the two of them responsible for their failure, but sighed and said: "The failure of this raid is due to my poor planning, I don't blame you, okay, you go down and rest first." ”

"Hay!" Xiao Di is Fan and Kamu Shaozo bowed their heads sharply in response, and turned away as if they had been amnestied.

After seeing the two leave, Nishimura Riwen Daisa said with some trepidation: "General, what should we do next?" ”

Itagaki Seishiro took a few deep breaths and said calmly: "It seems that I still underestimated Qiao Youhua's cunning, he is indeed the most difficult opponent to deal with. ”

"Yes, it's no wonder that the frontal attack of our two master regiments was not blocked by the minefield, it turned out that the cunning Shina people had already deployed the minefield on the western front, which seemed to be weak and empty." Nishimura Riwen nodded in agreement.

Itagaki Seishiro pondered for a moment, then turned his head to stare at the battle map and said, "How long will it take for the artillery and engineer wings directly under the 21st Brigade and Division to arrive?" ”

"Tomorrow, we should all be able to arrive one after another." Nishimura Riwen Dasa hurriedly replied.

Itagaki Seishiro nodded and said, "Go and inform Major General Takagi to suspend the attack on Erdaogouzi, and wait for the 21st Brigade and Division Engineers and Artillery to arrive tomorrow, and then launch an attack with the cooperation of the Combined Aviation!" ”

Nishimura Levin nodded and couldn't help asking, "General, how should I report the matter of the heavy artillery wing to the front army and even the base camp?" ”

Itagaki Seishiro's face flashed with a hint of fierceness and said: "There is no need to report it, we will find out about this matter later, and the 10th Division will definitely ask the front army headquarters for guilt." ”

Nishimura Liwen Daisa hurriedly bowed his head: "Hai, I understand the humble position." ”

…………

Outside Erdaogouzi Town, the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army, which had been attacking unsmoothly, quickly stopped the attack and retreated after receiving orders from the division headquarters.

The officers and men of the 1st Battalion were once again able to gain a rare respite, and although the Japanese were unable to break through their defenses, the devils, who were in absolute superiority in terms of strength, still inflicted considerable casualties on the 1st Battalion, especially the 1st Company of the frontal defense.

As soon as the battle ended, the first company's position was busy again, some wounded soldiers and the bodies of fallen soldiers were carried out one after another, and some soldiers carried various ammunition supplies into the first company's position.

"One knife, are there any big casualties?" Jiang Haidong came to Liu Yidao, the commander of the first company, with a Type 38 rifle in one hand, and asked.

Liu Yidao's left arm was slightly injured in the fierce battle just now, and a health soldier was bandaging his wounds, and when he heard Jiang Haidong's inquiry, he raised his head and said: "Fortunately, thirty-seven were killed and one hundred and five were wounded, of which more than 30 were seriously wounded who lost their combat ability." ”

Saying these words, Liu Yidao's face was a little heavy, the medical conditions in the base area were still very poor at this time, generally speaking, a seriously injured person is equivalent to an indirect death, in fact, it is better to die on the spot, at least there is no need to live to the moment of death.

Sixty-seven people were lost at once, and no one felt good in their hearts.

Jiang Haidong didn't speak, but silently patted him on the shoulder to show encouragement, no one wants to face this kind of casualties, but as soldiers, there is nothing to do, they don't go to the front line, they don't shed blood and sacrifice, do they want to let hundreds of thousands of unarmed people in the rear go up?

The country is in danger, the autumn of the nation's survival, as a soldier, died in battle, the duty is there, no complaints and no regrets!

………………

On the side of Magou Town, the attack of the 33rd Brigade of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army was also repulsed again, this time the attack lasted up to two hours, and finally caused more than hundreds of casualties to the devils.

Combined with the damage caused by the previous attacks, the total number of casualties of the main wing of the 33rd Brigade has exceeded 1,000, of which 60 percent were killed.

After repelling the Japanese attack, Qiao Youhua met with Ma Biao, inspected the defensive positions of Magou Town, expressed his condolences and encouraged the officers and soldiers of the Second Battalion, and then left Magou Town with the guard company and returned to Luquan County.

As soon as Qiao Youhua and the others returned to the east gate of Luquan, they saw the political commissar Guo Meng waiting at the city gate with some soldiers, and when they saw their arrival, they quickly got out of the city and came outside to greet them, and said with joy: "Commander, it's great that you are finally back." ”

"How's it going, did the operation succeed?"

Before Qiao Youhua finished speaking, Zheng Yunshan couldn't help but say excitedly: "Political commissar, our attack was a complete success, and the devil's more than 20 heavy howitzers were all blown into a pile of scrap metal by us!" ”

"yes, that's great." Guo Meng nodded very happily.

"By the way, after I leave, there is nothing abnormal in Erdaogouzi and Dahe Village, right?" Qiao Youhua turned his head and asked as he walked towards the city.

"Oh, I was about to tell you that after you went to attack the Japanese heavy artillery, the Japanese 5th and 10th Divisions attacked our frontal defense line with all their might, and also sent a cavalry plus tank armored unit to make a roundabout attack from the Western Front, but it was blocked by our minefield and reconnaissance company and three battalions.

The 3rd Battalion and the reconnaissance company destroyed one enemy armored vehicle, blew up one mine, and killed 40 or 50 Japanese soldiers. Guo Mengdao.

"Hehe, I'll just say why the little devil went crazy and attacked Erdaogouzi and Magou Town at the same time, it turns out that the conspiracy is here! But this time, the old devil Itagaki Seishiro can be regarded as a miscalculation, and he lost his wife and soldiers! Ha ha! Qiao Youhua suddenly realized and smiled happily.

"Yes, the devil thought that our defense on the Western Front was weak, but I didn't expect to hit the iron plate, and this time I was going to hit my head and bleed." Guo Meng couldn't help but nod, and admired Qiao Youhua even more in his heart, because it was Qiao Youhua's decision to concentrate all the mines on the western front where there was no dangerous place to defend.

At first, even she, the political commissar, didn't know about it, but now it turns out how prescient Qiao Youhua's deployment was.

"By the way, in this round of fighting, the Japanese army suffered extremely heavy losses, and then it is likely to be angry and retaliate with air raids on our base area! Tonight, you organize people to retreat to Feiyunling overnight, and let the people go to Feiyunling to avoid air raids, which is much better than staying in Luquan.

As for the ideological work of the people, you can do it, tell them, I, Qiao Youhua, will never abandon Luquan, and when our troops defeat the Japanese army, it will be the day they return home! Qiao Youhua instructed.
