After receiving a call from the Corps Headquarters, Abe Norihide felt relieved. Although the siege of the county seat of Kohwa lasted only five days, it was like a long five years for Abe Norihide. The information collected by Tegaoke is simply rubbish, and it is not half a star different from the actual situation of that hateful Chinese army.

It was because of the mistakes in intelligence that the Imperial Japanese Army suffered heavy losses, and now it is not only unable to achieve the pre-set strategic goals, but also faces the danger of being completely annihilated.

"The troops were ordered to immediately stop the offensive, and the front team changed to the rear team, alternately covering the retreat. The 3rd Squadron of the 2nd Brigade was ordered to stay where it was to block the Shina army, and the large force immediately retreated in the direction of Tianzhen. Norihide Abe gave the order to retreat.

However, before Abe's order could go out of the headquarters, news was received from the front that the Chinese army was counterattacking on a large scale, and the imperial army in the direction of the east gate was strongly counterattacked by the Shina army, and the troops fell into a bitter battle.

According to information from the front, the Chinese army used more than a wing of artillery and a large amount of automatic fire this time, and it was almost impossible for the imperial army at the east gate to withdraw.

Abe Norihide knew that this was the Chinese army in the city buying time for the outer army, and if he waited for the peripheral Chinese army to complete the encirclement, then it would be even more difficult for him to break through the siege.

"Order, immediately the troops in the north and south directions immediately reinforce the east gate, the troops must withdraw from the battle within twenty minutes, and if necessary, they can abandon all the imperial army."

With the order of Abe Norihide, the Japanese puppet army outside the city quickly assembled at the east gate, and at the same time, more than 5,000 puppet troops were driven to the forefront of the battlefield by the Japanese army to engage the 222nd Division Guard Regiment and the Air Defense Regiment.

"The little devil wants to run, order the troops to increase the intensity of the attack, and at the same time let the 222 Brigade, the 223 Brigade, and the garrison brigade speed up the march, and the little devil must not be allowed to escape from the encirclement." In the telescope, Chen Feng's eyes were blazing, and he was as clear as to Abe's intentions.

"Report, the garrison brigade called, the main force of the garrison brigade has rushed to the vicinity of the moat, and it is expected that it will be put into battle in fifteen minutes."

"Report, Chief of Staff Zhang Zhigang of the 222nd Brigade called, the unit has been stationed in the 21st Village, blocking the road for the Japanese army to flee south, and it is expected that the troops will be put into battle in ten minutes."

"Report, the 223 Brigade called, the troops have passed the monk kiln, and they will be put into battle in fifteen minutes."

"According to the report, Brigade Commander Li Wensheng called that the 222nd Brigade completely annihilated the Third Brigade of the Japanese Army, killed and wounded more than 5,300 Japanese puppet soldiers, destroyed 10 Japanese combat vehicles, and seized a large number of weapons and equipment. Now the troops are leaving part of their forces to clean up the battlefield, and the main force is rushing to the county seat. ”

"Report, Brigadier Andrei called, the cavalry unit captured Zhangbei County half an hour ago, wiped out more than 1,200 Japanese puppet troops, captured a large number of weapons and equipment, and captured a Japanese field hospital, Brigadier Andrei asked for instructions, there are more than 800 seriously wounded Japanese soldiers and more than 170 medical personnel in the field hospital, how should these people be handled?"

Chen Feng was shocked when he heard that Andrei's cavalry troops had wiped out more than 1,200 puppet troops, because according to intelligence, the original defenders of Zhangbei County were only more than 2,000 people in a mixed brigade, and there was also a puppet regiment, which added up to only more than 2,200 people.

The total strength of the defenders was less than 500 people, of which the Japanese army only had an infantry squadron of 220 people, and the rest were all puppet troops, how could it be possible to run out of more than 1,200 people at once, if there were really more than 1,000 Japanese elites in Zhangbei County, it would be impossible to end the battle so quickly with the combat effectiveness of the cavalry troops.

However, after listening to the telegram that followed, Chen Feng suddenly realized that Zhang Bei was still the main station for the treatment of the wounded of the little devils, so it was no wonder. I am afraid that there are still many lightly wounded in Zhangbei County, and when the battle was at its fiercest, these lightly wounded were probably also sent to the battlefield, and they became the meritorious deeds of the cavalry unit at the least.

But what Chen Feng didn't expect at all was that the Japanese army in Zhangbei County sent the wounded to the battlefield, but they were not lightly wounded, but seriously wounded, as long as their hands and feet were still there and the wounded who could still pull the trigger, they were transported to the city wall to block the cavalry troops from attacking the city.

But the wounded are wounded after all, and even if a few hundred more wounded are added, it will not be able to reverse the overall situation of the entire battlefield at all, and in the end, not only the infantry squadron was completely annihilated, but the hundreds of seriously wounded were all killed. There was no mercy on the battlefield, and although Andrei had discovered the anomalies of the new Japanese soldiers at the beginning, he still ordered to fight to the death, and when cleaning up the battlefield, he gave the order not to leave prisoners.

But when he entered the city and saw hundreds of seriously wounded people in the field hospital who were missing arms and legs, Andrei still hesitated. Killing those prisoners on the battlefield Andre didn't have any psychological burden, and he also knew that Chen Feng was happy for him to do so. But the group of seriously wounded in the field hospital is different, they are all super seriously wounded who have lost the right to return to the battlefield, more than half of them need to be amputated or have already been amputated, killing these seriously wounded is indeed against the honor of soldiers.

Andre is not easy to do, and Chen Feng is even more difficult to do. If Andre directly ordered all the seriously injured to be killed, Chen Feng would be willing to do nothing and turn a blind eye. But now that Andrei has asked him for instructions, then the matter must be done thoroughly, and there must be no one to leave a handle.

After thinking about it, Chen Feng still decided not to kill those Japanese wounded, but to leave them all to the Japanese army. On the one hand, it is impossible for these people to reappear on the battlefield even after they are wounded, and there is not much difference between killing and not killing China, and after killing, it is just an additional 1,000 people to the number of enemies destroyed by the 222nd Division.

First of all, these nearly 1,000 seriously wounded will consume a lot of medical resources of the Japanese army, and taking care of these people will also distract some of the Japanese army's energy. In the past, there were those doctors and nurses in the field hospital to take care of these wounded, and they did not need those soldiers to intervene, but now that the city is broken, those doctors and nurses will inevitably be brought back to Xinghe, so the responsibility of taking care of these wounded is handed over to ordinary soldiers, even if a wounded person only needs one soldier to take care of, these wounded will contain the strength of nearly a brigade of Japanese troops, why not count them in one fell swoop?

Receiving the telegram from Chen Feng, Andre let out a sigh of relief, he was really worried that his young boss would order him to shoot all the seriously wounded Japanese soldiers on the spot, seeing the order on the telegram, Andre couldn't help but smile and nodded, Miss Secret Dao is indeed extraordinary, not a reckless man who commands the war.

"The division ordered that the cavalry troops immediately clean up the battlefield, load all the weapons, equipment, money and food and transport them away, and all the field hospitals of the Japanese army were also transported back, including those doctors and nurses and those medical equipment and medicines. At the same time, the division also instructed that the seriously wounded Japanese soldiers should be left alone, as long as they did not resist, they would be left with a dog's life."

"Nani, the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade is surrounded by the Chinese army?" Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo in the temporary headquarters looked at the operator in shock.

"Hai, Your Excellency Commander, this is a telegram sent by General Norihide Abe five minutes ago, the three major armies of China have gathered in Xinghe County, and the imperial army is surrounded on a mountain pack five kilometers outside Xinghe City, and it is in urgent need of rescue." The operator replied loudly.

"Yaga, Abe Norihide is a big bastard, how can you be surrounded by the people of China, shame! You immediately send a telegram to that bastard Abe, ask about the situation of the troops, and ask him if there is a possibility of breaking through? ”

"Hay!"

Soon the operator reported: "Your Excellency Commander, General Abe has called and said that the situation of the troops is very bad, nearly 30,000 troops have surrounded the Imperial Army, and the Imperial Allied Army on the front line has collectively rebelled, and now he has only more than 5,000 soldiers in his hands, and there are no heavy weapons, so it is unlikely that he will break through." ”

"Baga, continue to send a telegram and order him to stay where he is and wait for help. Ordered Major General Seiichiro Yuhara to immediately stop the offensive and the troops to withdraw from the battlefield under alternate cover, and at the same time ordered the 15th Brigade to immediately go north to reinforce Abe Norihide, send a telegram to that bastard Shigeto, and order the reinforcements to speed up the march, saying that the commander asked them to arrive at the battlefield within two hours, otherwise he would be prepared to go to court-martial. ”

"By the way, send another report to His Excellency Terauchi Shouichi, requesting the aviation unit to immediately send fighters to provide air support to ensure that the independent mixed second brigade breaks through."

After several orders were given, Hideki Tojo shriveled in his chair as if he had been drained of all his strength. He never dreamed that his trip to China would be so difficult, and when he formed this army, General Ueda said that North China was a weak area ruled by the government of China, and there were no descendants of Chiang, the leader of China, and that the southward operation of the Chahar Corps would be a smooth and brilliant operation.

At the beginning of the war, as General Ueda said, not only the Chahar Dispatch Corps was progressing smoothly, but the North China Dispatch Army was also progressing smoothly; according to the military intelligence report a few days ago, the vanguard of the North China Front Army had already captured Dezhou and opened the door to Shandong, and the army was preparing to seize Jinan, the capital city of Shandong Province, while the more than 500,000 troops stationed in North China in China were defeated and retreated by the Imperial Army, and all the military points such as Baoding, Bazhou, and Zhengding fell into the hands of the Imperial Army, and it was only a matter of time before they took the entire North China region.

But only Chahar's dispatch corps luck seems to have arrived at home, and there have been successive setbacks, and Tojo Hideki has already thought about his fate after this battle, if Abe Norihide's department successfully breaks through, he may not have to go to court-martial, at most he will be sent back to his home country by the base camp and serve as an idle position in the reserve, so that there may be a day of resurgence. If Norihide Abe and the entire Independent Mixed Second Brigade were annihilated by the Shina people, then he would probably not even be able to die a dignified death.

(PS: Aotian has been busy with a very important thing this week, that is, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region wants to select the college student of the year, in fact, this selection started last year, but there has been no result.)
