"The Weiqing-style rifle penetration ability of the Chinese Cadet Army is too strong. A magazine is 30 rounds of ammunition, and if there are thousands of people, they can fire 30,000 rounds of ammunition at one time—which is enough for a medium-sized battle. In the eyes of the lowly position, this is not the most terrible thing about the Cadet Army. The most terrifying thing about the Scholar Army is that their will to fight is no worse than that of the Imperial Army, which should be the fundamental reason why they were able to remain undefeated in the battle against the Imperial Army...... "This is a copy of "My Opinion of the Scholar Army" submitted to Shunroku Hata while lying on the hospital bed after the end of this battle.

When the 10th Wing began to rout, Yoshio Jozuka's expression became solemn, and he said to Nishio Shouzo: "Your Excellency, Commander, you see, the former original division is simply unable to withstand the powerful firepower of the Shina people. We, the gains we've made with mortar raids, are now gone—"

In just twenty minutes of fighting, at least 1,500 men of the 10th Wing fell on the riverbank. If we add the nearly 1,000 people lost before, the battle loss ratio of the 10th Wing is now as high as 50 percent. Strictly speaking, the 10th Wing has lost the ability to continue fighting.

"Poor Kou Mo Chase!" On the side of the Xuebing Army, Gao Yongxiang stopped the troops from continuing the pursuit, and then led people back to the river beach where Qian Shuanglin and they had held before.

"Travel! Why don't you chase? Qian Shuanglin was puzzled, and asked Gao Yongxiang in a hoarse voice.

Gao Yongxiang pointed to the dark environment around him and said, "Are you sure that the little devil has no ambushes?" ”

Qian Shuanglin was silent, and later, he scolded fiercely: "Lose his mother, most of my brothers have died!" This revenge, Lao Tzu will come back one day! ”

Gao Yongxiang understood his mood, in fact, he was not in a good mood at the moment. He patted Qian Shuanglin on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry! There will be this day! ”

The Japanese army was beaten and fled in a panic when they were superior in numbers, and many of the cadets cheered as a result - the river beach, which was still lifeless just now, only the sound of cold guns made of steel, seemed to be rejuvenated at this time. In stark contrast, all the devils of the 10th Division were silent, and nearly 20,000 devils lay quietly on the wet and cold ground, stunned that no one made a request to the commander to fight.

In the battle just now, the cadets paid more than 300 sacrifices, and now, the two divisions together are only a little more than one regiment. However, as long as they thought that the other party was holding a weapon that could shoot continuously, and the devil officers who had been shaped by the spirit of bushido for a long time without pain, no one had the courage to propose that they should lead the team to exterminate them.

Nishio didn't seem to hear Jozuka's words, and looked at the south bank silently. After a few minutes, as if he felt that everyone was looking at him, he said, "You should have an impression of the strength of the Scholar Army?" No big deal. Think about our ancestors, think about how they defeated the mighty Russian army and the seemingly behemothic late Qing Dynasty - gentlemen, don't just see the sacrifice of the 10th Wing, you also have to see the results they have achieved - how many people were there in China? Two thousand, plus this support, they have a total of three thousand, but how many do they have left? Three thousand for two thousand? No matter what you guys think, I think it's a good deal! Jozuka, don't look at me like that. The Xuebing Army may have been nothing in the past, and Ouyang Yun was just a clown who jumped off the beam. But now, we must admit that they have become the Empire's greatest enemy in achieving the co-prosperity of Greater East Asia! I was just thinking about how many students there are in this cadet army, and how many cadets there are on the south bank. I already have the answer now, this should be a division of the Cadet Army. And it's the main division—" Speaking of this, he glanced at the crowd majestically, took a breath for a while, and then continued: "The enemy has already come over with a brigade, and there should be two more brigades on the other side. Of course, in order to defend Jiujiang, they will only send one more brigade at most - then, we will also annihilate this brigade! Jozuka-kun! ”

"Your Excellency!"

"When the 10th Division was in Xuzhou, it once suffered a big loss from the student army. This time, I hope you can help Ryosuke Isoya get this field back - continue to lure the enemy into plotting and let the 39th Wing go up. This time, you're in command – remember, get free and fight! Don't be afraid to lure the enemy like Maehara just did! We must play the majesty of the imperial army! ”

"Hay!"

The division commander of the 10th Division used to be Ryosuke Isotani, but because of his miscommand in the Battle of Taierzhuang, he was dismissed as soon as the Battle of Xuzhou ended. And his successor is none other than Yoshio Jozuka.

On the river beach, with the embers of artillery fire still burning, Gao Yongxiang walked past one after another of the students who fell in a pool of blood. "Brothers, let's go! Don't worry, we'll get your revenge! He said silently in his heart, and finally stopped by the side of the machine gunner Wang Yi, leaning over to help him soothe his eyes that were still open in anger.

Qian Shuanglin was lying on the ground, the fierce battle just now almost emptied his physical strength, and when Gao Yongxiang gave the order to chase after the poor Kou Mo, he immediately lay down on the ground, and then gasped for breath. After taking a few breaths, seeing that many people were still in the excitement of the rest of their lives after death, he shouted hoarsely: "Lose his mother, don't be short in the family, the little devil is just temporarily retreating!" Get me moving, hurry up and dig the fortifications - lose his mother, how does Lao Tzu usually teach you? ”

"Brigade, did you say that the division would come to our aid?" A soldier asked Gao Yongxiang, who walked past him.

Gao Yongxiang glanced at him and found that it was Li Xiaoshan, who had been trained by himself, and when he saw him holding a leg in his hand, and saw his empty left crotch, he couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart. Holding back the tears, he looked up at the south bank and said, "I hope that the division will not come to support, but I am sure that the division will definitely bring people over." ”

It's a contradiction, and it sounds a bit laborious. It took Li Xiaoshan two minutes to understand the meaning, he got up in a hurry, and shouted in a hissed voice: "Luza, then send a power to Shizuo, let them not come over!" ”

"The telegraph is broken! Li Liang! ”

"Traveler?" The guard Li Liang had been following Gao Yongxiang's side, and immediately replied when he heard the sound.

"Carry Li Xiaoshan to the raft - he is the only man in his house."

"Yes! Brother Li, let's go! Li Liang bent down and reached out to hug Li Xiaoshan, but the latter resolutely pushed him away.

"I'm not leaving! Brigade seat, I can still fight, and my hand is not hurt! Lvza, I already have a son, and with him, we will have the successor of the Li family. Li Liang, you kid dare to touch me, I'm not done with you-Travel, are you forcing me to commit suicide? My suicide note said that I would be a combat hero, what? Do you want my wish to come true? Li Xiaoshan said, throwing away the leg and holding his rifle against his chin.

Gao Yongxiang's eyes were hot, and he finally couldn't hold back his tears. "Good brother!" As he spoke, he waved his hand at Li Liang, and then personally picked up a shovel and dug a single pit beside Li Xiaoshan. When it was over, he said to Li Xiaoshan: "Your battle position is here, brother!" Gotta Live! ”

"Brigade—" Li Xiaoshan suddenly burst into tears.
