His blood was indeed about to run dry, and when Qiao Youhua and others helped him up from the ground, Qiao Youhua found that Liu Jianhua already had three gunshot wounds on his body, in addition to the one on the right shoulder blade first, there were one on his left leg and one on his abdomen.

The blood on his body soaked in his military uniform is not all devils, but also his own, the most fatal wound is the one in the abdomen, with the injury, he has fought until now, killing countless Japanese criminals.

Before meeting Qiao Youhua, before the victory came and the situation was reversed, he was supported by his enthusiasm and strong faith, and he really did not shed blood, fought more than once, and fought endlessly!

Qiao Youhua looked at Liu Jianhua, who had a weak breath, this brother of life and death who had followed him from birth to death since the Battle of Nanjing, his eyes couldn't help but moisten.

Picking him up in person, Qiao Youhua ordered in a stumbling tone: "Jianhua, you hold on to Lao Tzu!" Don't die, do you hear?! Lao Tzu has not yet formed an armored corps, how can you, the future corps commander, die? ”

While running towards Luquan County, Qiao Youhua kept calling out to his weak comrades-in-arms, this iron-clad man, tears that had not been shed for a long time, couldn't help but flow out at this time.

Because the horseback riding was too bumpy, which was not good for the injury, Qiao Youhua had been holding Liu Jianhua, who was a hundred or dozens of pounds, and returned to Luquan County, when he arrived at the county seat, his hands were already tired and sore, which was the result of his dark luck and support, otherwise the distance of several thousand meters would definitely not be able to hold on.

After Qiao Youhua returned to the county seat, he immediately summoned the military doctor of the Dragon Tooth Task Force, and he personally helped to carry out emergency surgery for Liu Jianhua.

On the other side, Zhao Youde, Sun Dahai and others were ordered to take advantage of the situation to launch an attack on the Japanese army in the north and east of the city.

It was quickly repelled by the morale of the dragon's tooth officers and soldiers, but these devils took the initiative to retreat, not a rout, and the casualties were not large, and in the end, about a thousand devils fled back to Erdaogouzi.

Sun Dahai and Zhao Youde were exhausted from continuous battles, and their subordinates were exhausted, and they were unable to attack the 33rd Brigade that was still encircling Erdaogouzi.

He took the initiative to stop the pursuit, began to clean up the battlefield all the way, collected all kinds of guns, ammunition and trophies, and returned to Luquan.

Although the 21st Infantry Brigade failed to completely annihilate the 21st Infantry Brigade that ventured into this adventure, it was an absolute heavy blow, and the two infantry wings of the 21st Brigade only escaped back with about 1,000 people, and the brigade commander and a wing commander and a large number of other middle and junior officers were all killed, and only the commander of the 41st Infantry Wing escaped.

At this point, the dangerous situation in Luquan has been completely reversed, and the Dragon Tooth Task Force has eliminated more than 7,000 Japanese troops since the beginning of this base defense battle, and in addition to the casualties, basically the 5th Division can be said to be seriously injured.

…………

Shimen County, the headquarters of the Japanese army.

When the 41st Infantry Wing fled back to Erdaogou, Itagaki Seishiro learned the bad news that the 21st Infantry Brigade was almost completely annihilated.

The whole person was directly stunned on the spot, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, this kind of fiasco was something that Itagaki Seishiro couldn't predict anyway, if the Kunisaki detachment was wiped out in last year's Nanjing Campaign, it was because the Dragon Tooth Task Force was in the shadows, Qiao Youhua was born, and Kunizaki Noboru did not have a full grasp of the enemy's situation, and a series of unfavorable factors.

So this time the battle of the surprise attack on Luquan was personally finalized by him, the commander of the famous general division of the empire, this time, the Japanese army was no longer blind to Qiao Youhua's Dragon Tooth Task Force, but basically knew the roots, and the two sides set up a real battle with real swords and guns.

With absolute superiority in troops, weapon firepower, and air, it was completely defeated by an inferior opponent, which was definitely equivalent to a resounding slap in the face of Seishiro Itagaki.

Itagaki Seishiro's aura of a famous general has been completely shattered so far, and the reason why he is so out of shape is because he can't accept an indisputable fact.

That is, the Dragon's Tooth Task Force, which has only been born for less than two years, is already strong enough to confront the imperial army head-on, and win more with less, and win in a terrible situation?

If so, then how terrible would they be if they were given some more opportunities to develop?

As the initiator of this operation and the chief of staff of Nishimura Riwin, he was even more trembling, his face was pale, looking at Itagaki Seishiro, who was still in a daze, Nishimura Riwen Daisa gritted his teeth and pulled out his saber.

The sound of the blade unsheathed woke Itagaki Seishiro from a series of deep and mournful musings, and he turned to see his chief of staff draw his saber and clench his hands behind his back.

frowned and said, "Nishimura-kun, what are you doing here?" ”

"Your Excellency General, this operation failed, and the blame for the crime of despicability cannot be escaped, in order not to implicate the general, please let the lowly seppuku apologize for his crimes!" Nishimura Riwen Daisa's face was full of firmness and determination.

Seishiro Itagaki immediately walked over, grabbed the hands he had just raised, snatched his saber, and roared angrily: "Bastard, you are a coward's behavior, your plan of action is not wrong, it is a feasible battle plan, but any action has risks that it cannot avoid.

Besides, how can I, as your commander, make you take the blame for my crimes? This is evasion, not the style of an imperial general. ”

"General!" Nishimura Riwen Osaku was so moved that he almost cried, no one really wanted to die, he was willing to die, the reason why he did that just now was to see Itagaki Seishiro unusual, for fear that he would pull himself out as a scapegoat in order to escape responsibility.

Instead of that, it's better to take the initiative yourself, at least let Seishiro Itagaki admit his favor and take care of his family.

I didn't expect Seishiro Itagaki to be so righteous and awe-inspiring, enough buddy.

Seishiro Itagaki raised his hand to stop Nishimura Riwin, who wanted to express something, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately notify all units of the 10th Division to continue to besiege Erdaogouzi and Magou Town without attacking, and order the 41st Infantry Wing to withdraw to Shimen for rest, I will personally explain the fiasco of the 21st Brigade to the Front Command, and re-study the next strategic policy, and formulate a set of specific combat plans that are sustainable and feasible." ”
