"Da-da, da-da-da." The Czech-style sprayed tongues of fire on the Japanese cavalry brigade and fired devastatingly, the barrel was red, and the assistant, who was carrying the bullets, did not care about the hot hands, and began to change the barrel while holding the reddened barrel, and the hands were burned out of a bunch of bubbles, and tears flowed out, and the machine gunner changed a thirty magazine, and began to shoot again.

The mortars in the rear also set up their artillery positions in a hurry, and under the command of the staff officers, began to bombard.

Matsushima was very annoyed, at this moment he only had one thought, that is, to chop up all the waste of the Imperial Intelligence Department, didn't he say that the Shina troops did not have heavy weapons? And what is going on with their mortars? Damn, how can there still be heavy machine guns, the cavalry is in front of them, there is no chance at all. Damn the twin stars, he actually played the soldiers of the empire like monkeys.

Seeing that there was no chance to charge, Matsushima withdrew from the battlefield with the remaining cavalry to find a new blocking position, and he had already thought that if he couldn't, everyone would abandon their horses and become infantrymen. However, Matsushima knew very well in his heart that even if he was an infantryman, he had to block the crazy Shina troops and buy time for the rescue of the division.

Saito, the leader of the Yamada detachment, also realized the danger of the situation, although the troops in his rear did not even know the number until now, but their firepower was too fierce, and their troops were constantly reinforced, Saito Coarse Cloth estimated that there were at least 20,000 troops.

Saito, as an outstanding student who graduated from a military academy, knew very well what situation he was facing, he cooperated with the 13th Division to break through too quickly, and he had become a wild goose that had left the team, and was outflanked by the Shina troops on both flanks, and there was an ambush in the rear to carry out the so-called central breakthrough, which was obviously the longest tactic used by the Great Japanese Empire.

There is no room for Saito not to think about the future, everyone is here to fight for merit, who does not want to be the first officer to enter the capital of China, but he forgot that there is an old Chinese saying, persimmons pick up soft pinch, compared to other divisions, his own detachment is indeed softer.

China's General Liu Yuan's newly constructed defense line is like a blank sheet of paper, and it can't play a combat role, and there are already elite imperial soldiers on the northern front who have arrived at the outlying positions of the Nanjing Front, but who would have thought that General Liu Yuan would put his mind on himself, who was not the fastest in marching.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, can I know who the general who beat us so badly?" Saito's expression was depressed.

"Your Excellency, have you forgotten? In charge of commanding the battle in Nanjing, General Liu Yuan, the most shining of the twin stars of China, his light was too bright, and it was already dazzling to the point of overshadowing the new generation of the Empire, Ishihara and others. Chief of Staff Kameda said.

"Baga, of course I know that it is General Liu Yuan who is in Nanjing, but that's not what we have to think about, I mean who is the general who carried out the sneak attack in our rear, he is too shameless."

"According to the most luscular information left by the flower of imperial intelligence, we can identify the troops on the opposite side as if they were the troops transferred back from afar by General Liu Yuan, Fan Hanjie's 27th Army, a very effective unit, and this unit has already been on the battlefield during the Battle of the Northeast." The chief of staff said with his head bowed.

"It seems that this is not a simple counterattack, this should be a counterattack plan planned by General Liu Yuan specifically for us, General Shina's strategic vision is really not the kind of waste that Matsui Shigen can understand, but for what such a depressing thing to let me encounter, I heard that the Shigeto detachment is having a bad time, is our Yamada detachment going to take that step?" Saito's face was bitter, and he didn't know how sad he was.

"Your Excellency Commander, you can't give up hope at this time, it's time for a strong man to break his wrist, we can use our cavalry brigade, baggage troops, and even part of the brigade as a blocking force to cover our retreat, and take advantage of the fact that the encirclement is not completely encircled now, and quickly withdraw from the battlefield, which may be able to gain a glimmer of life." Kameda was worried that his commander would lose his fighting spirit, so he immediately suggested.

The cavalry brigade is Saito's lifeblood, and it is really unbearable to sacrifice them now, but at this point, there is no hesitation.

The staff officers of the Japanese army are still very tactical vision, at this time, China's encirclement is indeed not completely encircled, but Fan Hanjie, as an excellent graduate of Whampoa, how can he not behave well, his command is set up in the forward position, for Liu Yuan not to allow commanders above the division level to set up the command post on the front line, it has long been regarded as a deaf ear, you Liu Yuan dared to do this when he was the army commander, why can't I Fan Hanjie.

He saw that Saito wanted to run, and at this time it was too late to ask Liu Yuan, so he immediately sent a reserve team to quickly intersperse the depth of the Japanese army, and the soldiers locked the retreat of the Japanese army, and built a temporary blocking position on the high ground, and the other two divisions also quickly completed the encirclement of the Yamada detachment and locked their retreat.

There was no decent defense in the rear of the Japanese army, many baggage personnel temporarily took guns to the battlefield, Fan Hanjie once thought that he had hallucinations, when the combat effectiveness of the Japanese troops was so weak, his troops quickly shuttled between the hills, with the help of geographical advantages, successively annihilated a squadron and a squadron, before the enemy had time to reflect, they had completely surrounded a wing of the Yamada detachment, not giving them any chance to break through, just half an hour, Fan Hanjie broke up the three squadrons of the Japanese army, Let them completely lose their combat effectiveness.

After Saito received the call, there was nothing he could do, and he even secretly hoped in his heart that his subordinates could resist Fan Hanjie's 27th Army for a while, and buy time for his retreat, and his detachment said that he could not completely sacrifice himself in China.

The rapid change in the situation of the war, Saito's telegram for help quickly appeared in the headquarters of the 13th Division and the headquarters of Matsui Ishone, the commander of the 13th Division did not believe the telegram of the Yamada detachment at all, you must know that the Great Japanese Empire had broken through the defense line and arrived at the city of Nanjing, even if Nanjing was bold, how could it be possible to carry out a counterattack of this scale at this time, they would not be attacked by the guerrillas.

Thinking of this, the commander of the 13th Division was angry and wanted to send a telegram to directly rebuke Saito, but at this time, Matsui Shigen's telegram also arrived, Matsui Shigen and Liu Yuan had several fights, for this general with changeable means, he was completely accustomed to it, in his opinion, the crazy General Liu Yuan could rush out of anything, and the Yamada detachment was an elite unit under the 13th Division, they could not lie, and from the form of the battlefield, the Yamada detachment was too advanced in order to cooperate with the 13th Division, It has been vaguely inserted into the hinterland of China. When Saito was in trouble, it was not his superiors who were willing to believe him, but General Matsui Ishone, who was cursed by him for being incompetent.

The commander of the 13th Division, Ogisu Tatsubing, did not believe Matsui's judgment very much, just when he was thinking about whether to attack Nanjing or to rescue his subordinates, Saito's telegram came again, this time he was really anxious, in the telegram, Saito told him that his cavalry brigade was used as infantry, in exchange for time for the large army to break out, but it was still unsuccessful, and he had lost a wing so far, and now he was ready to die for the empire.
