Just when the outside world spread the news of the decisive battle between the Longtou Detachment and the Japanese army at the Peach Blossom Mountain Fortress, everyone thought that this was bound to be a shocking battle of strong and strong showdowns, but what they didn't expect was that the Longtou Detachment slipped away.

This move really made the officers and soldiers of the entire Japanese 11th Army crazy!

The 11th Army of the Japanese Army, Okamura Ningji, was so angry that he smashed the phone as soon as he received the news, and kept scolding words such as "Ouyang is cunning" and "Eighth Route Army rats".

The most resentful of this is the Japanese army participating in the battle in the Taohuashan Fortress, that is, the 13th Wing of the Japanese Army and the 47th Wing of the Japanese Army.

In today's battle, they have adjusted their state to the best, vowing to take back all the lost dignity and honor with a hearty victory.

But this battle was destined to disappoint them.

The retreat of the dragon detachment without a fight did not make them feel the slightest joy, only boundless anger and humiliation, as if the gambler had won a large sum of money in the casino, and just as the dealer was ready to fight back, the gambler disappeared with a large amount of money.

In this way, how could the Japanese officers and soldiers be willing?

For them, who have never tasted defeat, this failure is much heavier than a hundred failures!

The officers and men of the two Japanese wings, up to the wing commanders Miura Suke and Naoki Eguchi, down to every Japanese soldier, one counted as one, and they were simply mad.

"Baga Crush!"

"Abominable Chinese army!"

"Damn the Eighth Route Army!"

"Counterattack, we want to counterattack!"

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, please give us the order to pursue, our department will definitely guarantee that the Eighth Route Army will be killed without leaving a single piece of armor, and the corpses will be everywhere!"

For a time, one by one, the Japanese officers and soldiers were excited, and they threatened to ask for battle, vowing to wash away their shame with blood!

"Roar!"

Miurasuke, the commander of the 47th Wing of the Japanese Army, brazenly pulled out his command knife and roared with a hideous face: "Pass my order, order the Itada Brigade and the Sawakawa Squadron to immediately pursue the Eighth Route Army!" ”

"Hey!"

At the same time, the same was true of the 13th Wing of the Japanese Army, and the commander of the wing, Naoki Eguchi, also gave the order to pursue.

At this moment, whether it was the 13th Wing of the Japanese Army or the 47th Wing of the Japanese Army, the officers and soldiers of their headquarters were all murderous and their morale increased dramatically, which made Miura Suke and Eguchi Naoki convinced: Our Imperial Japanese Army will win this battle!

"Striking the enemy with a division of grief and indignation is enough to take one as ten!"

But!

When the pursuers sent by the 47th and 13th Wings of the Japanese Army had just left the Peach Blossom Mountain Fortress, less than 30 miles, they suddenly received a withdrawal telegram from Lieutenant General Shiro Inaba, the commander of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army.

"Order your officers and soldiers to stop the pursuit immediately and strictly defend the Peach Blossom Mountain Fortress!"

In the face of this order, many Japanese officers and soldiers expressed great incomprehension.

Generally speaking, the obedient nature of Japanese officers and soldiers is one of the best in the whole world, and there are very few cases where subordinates question their superiors, and even if some individuals have doubts, they will carry out orders to the letter.

This is the military discipline of the Japanese army!

But today, the officers and men of the 13th and 47th Wings of the Japanese Army, including Wing Commanders Sanpusuke and Naoki Eguchi, all showed expressions of resistance.

"We were played by the Eighth Route Army like this, is this the end of it?"

"Rather than that, I'd like to die at once!"

One by one, the Japanese officers and soldiers knelt on their knees and looked up to the sky and roared, venting their unwillingness and anger in their hearts.

"Yaga!"

Wing Commander San Pujie roared angrily: "How could His Excellency the Division Commander give such an order? In this way, how can we wash away the shame on our bodies?

Shall we carry this shame forever until the moment we die of old age?

If that were the case, I'd rather commit suicide now than be a laughing stock in the eyes of others! ”

The 13th Wing Wing Naoki Eguchi also showed anger.

"No, to give up the pursuit means to give up the dignity of our entire wing!"

"As an Imperial soldier, I can't accept such an order!"

"Chief of Staff, you immediately send a telegram to His Excellency the Division Commander to express the determination of our officers and men to fight to the death against the enemy!"

They don't want to give up, and they don't want to give up the pursuit!

It's a matter of honor and disgrace!

“to be or not to be！”

Survive or Destroy!

Today's Japanese officers and soldiers would rather die in a vigorous battle than live in the world, and this strong fighting spirit is also one of the reasons why the 6th Division of the Japanese Army has won many battles on the Chinese battlefield.

Now that this honor has been tarnished, and they have to carry out the orders of their superiors, how can they be willing?

In less than ten minutes, a call back from the Japanese superiors came.

However, this time, the call back was not from the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, but from the headquarters of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army.

"Your Excellency the Commander orders your officers and men to return immediately, and if there is any slackness, military law will be carried out!"

After receiving this telegram, the Japanese officers and soldiers present were all dumbfounded.

Okamura Ninji's order, how dare they say a single word "no"!

They can express their dissatisfaction with the brigade commander, Major General Tokutaro Shisai;

It is also possible to express dissatisfaction with the division commander, Lieutenant General Shiro Inaba;

But they didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction with the commander of the army, Okamura Ningji, otherwise what was waiting for them would definitely be a military court!

"Retreat~~~~!"

Wing Commander Suke Miura gave the order to retreat with difficulty.

So far, after two days of fighting in Peach Blossom Mountain, it has come to an end.

Our army on the participating side killed and wounded more than 1,800 Japanese officers and soldiers, captured a number of weapons, and suffered more than 1,100 casualties.

The Wolf Tooth Brigade became famous in a fight!

The leading detachment of the Eighth Route Army, for the first time in Hunan, Jiangxi and Hubei regions, has established a great reputation!

~~~~~

Headquarters of the 31st Army (Central Army) of the National Army.

Tang Enbo, commander of the group army, and Li Chuying, commander of the 23rd Division of the 85th Army, sat face to face on the sofa, their expressions were very unnatural and full of resentment.

"Commander-in-chief, the leading detachment of the Eighth Route Army, this is too instigated."

The division commander Li Chuying said angrily: "Tell me, this angry person is not angry!" ”

Arouse?

Hearing this word, Tang Enbo shook his head, gritted his teeth and said, "How could he be cowardly by the Eighth Route Army?" They are very strong and very shrewd!

They knew that this battle was really going to be fought, and no matter what the outcome of victory or defeat was, there would definitely be no more than a few of their thousands of troops left.

When the time comes, there will be nothing to do with them on the one-third of an acre of land in Hunan.

That's exactly what we want to see!

But now, they are retreating without a fight. Combining all these things before, they have not only won the honor, but also won the voice of the people of Hunan, and they were able to retreat with their whole body, do you say they are shrewd or not? ”

"This, this, this~~~?"

Division commander Li Chuying was suddenly dumbfounded.

~~~~~

Changsha Garrison Command of the National Army.

"We all underestimated the Eighth Route Army, and even more underestimated him Ouyang! Flowers and applause they all got it, and they were able to walk away with their whole body. ”

"This hand is really beautiful!"

Ou Zhen, the commander of the garrison, smiled at the several officers in front of him.

For a while, the expressions of several officers present were not very good-looking.

Before, when they had just received the news of the Eighth Route Army's attack on Peach Blossom Mountain, they were surprised, but more happy, not to mention how happy they were, and they were looking forward to the Eighth Route Army suffering a big loss.

But the ensuing result was to make them stunned and shocked.

Instead of being defeated by the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army surrounded the Japanese Peach Blossom Mountain Fortress, known as the "Copper Wall and Iron Wall", in just one day, and occupied the absolute upper hand!

Later, when the reinforcements of the 13th Wing of the Japanese Army went south, they thought: "In this way, his Eighth Route Army should be finished." ”

But the ideal is full, but the reality is cruel!

The Eighth Route Army has once again created a miracle!

And a huge miracle!

Of the 100 wolf teeth, one was undamaged, and nearly 800 Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded.

As soon as this news came out, everyone was completely stunned.

While they were surprised, they accurately judged that although the Japanese army had suffered heavy losses, its strength was still there, and it would definitely be able to give the Eighth Route Army a good look.

When two tigers fight, one will be injured!

Even if you win, it's definitely not much better!

So they waited all night, just to wait for the outbreak of the decisive battle and the final result, but at this critical moment, the leading detachment of the Eighth Route Army withdrew directly.

In a word, I won't play with you anymore!

This news undoubtedly caused some generals of the national army who were hostile to the Eighth Route Army and waited to see the excitement suffer a critical attack of 10,000 points.

"Commander-in-Chief!"

At this moment, a major general officer of the National Army said coldly: "Commander-in-chief, why don't we make a fuss about the news that the Eighth Route Army is retreating without a fight?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of several officers present at the scene all lit up.

"Huh!"

At this moment, the garrison commander Ou Zhen laughed, and then shook his head again: "You guys, can't you see clearly?" Now the crux of the problem is no longer the question of whether or not the Peach Blossom Mountain Fortress can be defeated and whether there will be a decisive battle. ”

After a pause, he said: "The people of Hunan are the most affectionate, what they care about is not whether the leading detachment can win, but whether the heroic unit of the leading detachment can return safely, now do you understand?" ”

"Uh~~~!"

Immediately, everyone was stunned.

The first update of "" was sent.
