"Yaga, how can this be? The gendarmes were dispatched, gathered their troops, and resisted the China! Seeing this, Lieutenant General Inoue Hikaru immediately gave the order and tried to send the military police to stop the defeated Japanese troops. However, it was all in vain.

There were very few gendarmes, only about a hundred people. The Japanese officers and soldiers who retreated from the front line had long been frightened by the heavy artillery of the Jilin Army. They have red eyes and want to run away, and whoever dares to stop them from escaping for their lives at this time is their worst enemy.

Coupled with the fact that the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Jilin Army began to extend the shelling, and the shells even fell in the rear of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army, this means that they are no longer safe here. This made the entire Japanese Fourth Division even more panicked, and many people spontaneously retreated.

"Rush!" The Jilin Army did not miss this opportunity, and the divisional cavalry battalion of the 7th Infantry Division and the divisional cavalry battalion of the 6th Infantry Division cooperated with the 71st Infantry Regiment and the 73rd Infantry Regiment to launch a counterattack against the Japanese Fourth Division. Together with the cavalry companies to which each regiment belonged, a total of more than 3,000 cavalrymen, gathered into a torrent and directly broke the Japanese defenses.

"Tick, tick!"

The sound of horses' hooves converged like a muffled thunder in the sky. The charge of several thousand cavalry made the Japanese troops who had just retreated from the front line into a state of panic, and they desperately wanted to escape, which made the situation facing the Japanese army even more complicated.

"Kill!" The cavalry officers of the Jilin Army ordered.

All the cavalrymen immediately ran out of bullets from their rifles, and then drew their sabers. When charging at high speed on horseback, the saber is obviously a little more comfortable than the gun.

"Die, little Japan." A cavalryman of the Jilin Army slashed down with a saber in his hand. With the help of the high-speed charge of the war horse, only a small force was used. He cut off the head of the Japanese soldier. The head flew high into the sky, blood spurting from the cut in its neck like a fountain.

The cavalry of the Jilin Army fiercely attacked the ranks of the Japanese army. The war horses were trampled on all four hooves, and Japanese soldiers were constantly trampled to death. Almost every time the saber in the hands of the soldiers fell, it would directly kill a Japanese soldier.

Encountered the charge of the cavalry of the Jilin Army. This made the situation of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army even more difficult. Countless officers and soldiers turned around and fled, and no one cared about the officers' orders anymore. Everybody wants to be able to grow four legs, so that they can run faster. It's a pity that people's legs can never be compared with the four legs of a war horse. Many Japanese soldiers were chased and killed.

Of course, there were also many Japanese soldiers who were a little clever and were caught up. They directly raised their hands in surrender. Although everyone doesn't understand the language, the meaning of surrender can still be clearly understood. The fighting will of the soldiers of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army cannot be compared with other elite divisions at all. If other elite divisions still regard dying on the battlefield as an honor. The soldiers of the Fourth Division paid more attention to returning home alive. As for things like glory or shame, they don't care much about it. After all, that can't be eaten. Saving your own life is the most important thing.

Japanese soldiers who surrendered. The cavalry did not kill them, and went directly to the target below. And the Japanese soldiers who surrendered also honestly stayed where they were. In the chaotic battlefield, there is danger everywhere. It was not easy to save his life, and if he was killed because he escaped again, it would be too unworthy.

What is called defeat like a mountain. This time, Lieutenant General Inoue Hikaru can be regarded as a thorough experience. The entire Fourth Division, with more than 20,000 people, was frightened and collapsed by a single heavy artillery shot of the Jilin Army. After encountering the attack of thousands of cavalry and tens of thousands of infantry, the entire Fourth Division collapsed. This made him so ashamed that he wanted to commit suicide immediately. However, seppuku is too painful. It would be a shame to die now. Therefore, Lieutenant General Hikaru Inoue still survived with a cheeky skin.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, we have failed, we have failed. The front line has completely collapsed, and there are broken troops everywhere. The 6th Infantry Brigade is over, and even our 16th Infantry Brigade has been affected. I implore His Excellency the Division Commander to give the order to retreat at once, and then reorganize the troops in an effort to fight again. If it's too late, it'll be too late. The cavalry of the Chinese people was coming to the side of the division headquarters. Major General Sogoro Kawamura, commander of the 16th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army, said.

"However, if we retreat now, what will happen to the Ninth Division? Their flanks are covered by us. "Lieutenant General Inoue Hikaru is a little worried.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, I don't care so much. When we've gathered the rout, we can come and rescue them, and if we're done too, it's all over. Your Excellency, Division Commander, please make a decision as soon as possible. Major General Sogoro Kawamura said anxiously.

Now the situation of the Fourth Division is extremely bad, and the entire division is collapsing. The longer it drags on, the worse it is for them.

At this time, the chief of staff of the division, Shibu Nakahara, rushed in with a panicked face.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, something is wrong, a large force of the Chinese army has appeared in our northwest direction, with more than 10,000 troops. And thousands of cavalry. Now, they're coming at us. Nakahara said.

"Nani? How could the people of China run behind us? "Lieutenant General Hikaru Inoue is also messy. This means that their back road is about to be cut off! If that's the case, the entire Fourth Division probably won't be able to escape.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, retreat immediately. I left the 37th Infantry Wing behind the break, trying to hold them back. Major General Sogoro Kawamura said.

"Okay, let the 37th Infantry Wing intercept the Chinese people, and let's go quickly." Lieutenant General Hikaru Inoue nodded repeatedly. Now, he didn't mention what the Ninth Division would do after they retreated. It's all at this time, and it's definitely important to save your life. As for Lieutenant General Katsuka Tsukamoto of the 9th Division, he could only hope that Amaterasu would bless him.

The main force of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army quickly retreated in the direction of Yingkou. Encountering the fierce artillery bombardment of the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Jilin Army, and then doubling the flanking attack of the 7th Infantry Division and the 5th Infantry Division, the defeat of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army was inevitable. It's just that if they stay and hold their ground at this time, they may be able to withdraw their main force. It can also enable the Japanese Ninth Division to respond in a timely manner.

However, when Hikaru Inoue ordered the retreat, Lieutenant General Katsuka Tsukamoto of the 9th Division was not notified at all, which directly led to the tragedy of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army.

Of course, this is undoubtedly a welcome sight for the Jilin Army. Wu Haoxuan wished that all the Japanese troops were as strange as the Fourth Division. In this case, the battle will be much easier to fight. It's a pity that among the many divisions of the Japanese army, there is only the fourth division. If the Jilin Army wants to defeat the Japanese, it needs to fight hard.

People can't be too greedy, being able to defeat the Japanese Fourth Division in this battle, and by the way, putting another elite division of the Japanese army in a difficult situation, which is already a great thing for the Jilin Army. The entire battle situation will be greatly changed because of this. It can be said that the Japanese army's plan to attack Haicheng this time not only failed to succeed, but suffered a crushing defeat, which will lead to the Japanese army having no way to achieve victory. Next, how to end up is something that the Japanese should consider. Anyway, if it drags on, it will be more beneficial to the Jilin Army.

"Young Marshal, the 7th Infantry Division has already routed the 4th Division of the Japanese Army from the front, it is really unimaginable that this is actually a division of the Japanese Army. How nice it would be if every division of the Japanese army was like this! "Major General Duan Tianwei, commander of the 7th Infantry Division, still can't seem to believe that victory will come so quickly.

"Don't be greedy, there is a fourth division in the Japanese army, and that is already our good fortune. Although the Fourth Division is a first-class division, it is definitely not an elite division. Wu Haoxuan smiled, he had long expected this to be the result.

"Young Marshal, the main forces of the Fourth Division have been surrounded by us, and many have surrendered. It is estimated that only more than 10,000 people fled back to Yingkou. The 5th Infantry Division and my two regiments were attacking in a southeasterly direction. Prepare to take out the Japanese Ninth Division in one fell swoop. Major General Duan Tianwei reported.

"Well, focus on the Japanese Ninth Division. I'll get the 6th Infantry Division to cooperate with you. In addition, the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade will also provide you with fire support. As for the 4th Division, let's keep it. Their continued existence is more beneficial to us than to annihilate them completely. Wu Haoxuan smiled and said.

"Yes, young marshal." Major General Duan Tianwei was also full of smiles.

Indeed, the existence of such a wrecked division as the Fourth Division does indeed outweigh the disadvantages. If the Japanese Army completely abolished the Fourth Division and formed a strong elite division, this would be a headache for them.

At this moment, on the frontal battlefield of Haicheng, the attack of the Japanese Ninth Division on Haicheng also failed under the fierce fire of the Jilin Army. They had to retreat and reorganize the attack.

The dense explosion in the distance made Lieutenant General Katsuka Tsukamoto frown. The direction in which the artillery sound came was the direction of the attack of the 4th Division, and the field artillery wing and the field heavy artillery brigade of the 4th Division were reinforced to them. There were only a dozen or so 75-mm mountain guns left in the entire Fourth Division. Obviously, this artillery sound will not belong to the 4th Division.

"Those who are timid as rats, let's hope they can hold on. As long as they hold out until I tear through the man's defenses, that's enough. Lieutenant General Katsuka Tsukamoto said secretly. He didn't know that his 9th Division had been pitted by the 4th Division. (To be continued......)
