Chapter Ninety-Four: Unwilling
This student is too scolding. Of course, this also shows the depth of his relationship with Lao Geng.
It was the first time that Chi Guanxing was scolded by someone pointing his nose at him, but he didn't mean to refute it at all. Before coming to the North Shore, he felt good about himself and always thought that he was a good figure in Jiujiang. However, when he arrived here, under the fire of guns and shells, he realized that he was nothing, not even as good as an ordinary cadet.
It's a terrible idea, but it's true.
The student scolded happily and didn't think about anything else at all, but Chi Guanxing's younger brothers couldn't stand it. One of them said, "Damn, what are you to dare to insult our captain like this." Damn, do you believe Lao Tzu or notβ" However, before he could finish his sentence, he was spilled with a handful of sand on his head and face, and then he ate a mouthful of sand. "Who's the shit?" He turned his head to look for the perpetrator, but he was facing the stargazing gaze of Shangchi, and he couldn't help but be stupid, and shouted: "Big brother?!" β
"Shut up Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu's face has been lost by you!" Chi Guanxing scolded, looked at the student soldier who kicked people, and said: "This soldier is here to save us from dying, he is a good man, I dare to conclude that if he is still alive, at least a few more Japanese can be slaughtered." Brothersβ" His eyes swept over his men and exclaimed, "Our lives were all given by this soldier, so we must do something for him as well." Listen to it, cheer up Lao Tzu and beat the devil hard! If a dog dares to soften the soles of his feet and slip away first, Lao Tzu will cut his eggs first - dog's day, since he is not a man, what do you want to do with eggs? Do you understand everything? β
A group of guerrillas were dumbfounded, but soon they shouted: "Understand! "Big brother! Done! β
Chi Guanxing's men joined the battle, however, to his shame, he fired five shots in a row, but he failed to hit a devil. And according to his observation, it was the student soldier who scolded him just now that he had already killed three devils at this time.
The Japanese offensive was launched again, and even if Gao Yongxiang was willing to take some people to withdraw first, it was impossible at this time. The cadets were all firing fiercely at the enemy, and in this case, if someone suddenly retreated, it would be no different from fleeing. In that case, it may lead to a rout of the troops.
Ye Zhao didn't expect him to lead people to retreat at this time, he shot while saying to him: "Gao Yongxiang, if you still think that I am your division commander, I will immediately lead people to retreat, do you hear?" β
Gao Yongxiang didn't say anything, just kept shooting. And he has already made up his mind in his heart: to fight to the death and not to withdraw. Although Ye Zhao didn't say it explicitly, since he had already seen Ye Zhao's plan, how could he still watch his commander carry out this kind of battle method of dying with the enemy. He thought in his heart, and even made a plan, when the situation was at its most critical, he would let people knock Ye Zhao unconscious, and then take him across the river.
The arrival of the division commander made the trainees have a high will to fight, and the damage inflicted on the Japanese army in this round of battle exceeded double that of the previous round. More than 1,000 devils rushed to a place about 100 meters away from the defenders' position and fell more than 400 people, but the results achieved were minimal. The captain of the devil brigade who commanded this round of attack was very alert, and he felt that the density of firepower on the opposite side had changed, and he did not stubbornly command the troops to continue the attack, but retreated immediately when he was killed, and soon retreated back with his troops. After returning home, he immediately reported the situation to Yoshio Jozuka, who took it seriously and immediately reported it to Nishio Shouzo.
Nishio was not surprised by this result, and he muttered: "The people of China have increased their troops? Well, our lure has succeeded! β
His tone made Jozuka unable to guess his next thoughts, and after thinking about it for a while, he said, "Your Excellency, why do I think that the people of Shina seem to be carrying out reinforcements as well? The tactics of refueling are a taboo for soldiers, and the people on the other side of the river should not be unaware of this, but at present, they send more troops every time the north shore is in danger. Your Excellency, is it possible that the commander of the Chinese people has noticed the situation of our troops, so he did it on purpose?! β
Jozuka said this very tactfully, in fact, he already had serious doubts about Nishio's so-called strategy to lure the enemy. He even suspected that the Cadet Corps was adopting the same tactic. Little by little, they are increasing their troops, which is to mobilize Nishio's appetite. The Imperial Army was not good at night battles, and the boundless darkness was the same for both sides. If there were still a large army hidden on the other side of the river, or even in the north of the river, Tiaozuka would not dare to imagine the consequences.
In fact, without knocking on the side of the strip, Nishio also began to doubt the feasibility of this strategy. The 10th Wing has been disabled, and the 39th Wing, which is now newly entering the battlefield, has also suffered a brigade of casualties. However, the firepower of the people on the opposite side of the country was only weakened by about half, no, it was not weakened, because of the arrival of reinforcements, their firepower also increased, which caused the 39th Wing to suffer heavy casualties in this round of attack. Comparing the current battle loss ratio between the two sides, the imperial army exchanged 1,000 talents for 500 people on the other side, which is unthinkable in the northeast. But today, on the north bank of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, it really happened. The people of China really sent reinforcements again, which made him have to think a little far-reaching-if the other side is really a division of the Cadet Army, wouldn't that mean that even if the 10th Division and the three brigades directly under the military headquarters are all filled in, they will not be able to complete the total annihilation plan? The South Shore Cadet Corps also has artillery, if they detect the location of their large army, they can make another raid...... This conjecture was so scary that Nishio didn't dare to continue thinking about it.
He sighed softly, a little puzzled by what seemed to be a huge disparity, and the result should be that the battle would be fought like this. Jozuka's words were very subtle, but with his experience, how could he not understand the deep meaning, he pressed his swollen temples with both hands, looked at Jozuka, and asked, "Jozuka-kun, tell me what you think." β
Jozuka respectfully bowed his head and said "Hai", "Retreat for the time being, Your Excellency, until we find out the strength of the people on the other side of the country, ensuring the safety of our troops is the key." The people on the other side of China have artillery! The Cadet Army is mad, but it has done everything, and if they come to an indiscriminate shelling, it will cause unbearable losses to our army. β
Nishio was actually already thinking about retreating in his heart, but his heart ached faintly when he thought of making such a big sacrifice and giving up when he had achieved an advantageous situation. Don't count on this retreat, Jiujiang will not be counted on, then it also means that in the layout of the northbound corps of the total annihilation army of Commander Junliu Hata, their 2nd Army will lose the opportunity to come out on top - really unwilling!
