Shigeji Suematsu thought about it, sighed helplessly, and said, "Okay then! So when do we start retreating? ”

"An hour later! Let all the wounded stay to block the Shina army and buy time for the retreat of the main force of the imperial army! Ushijima's face didn't change in the slightest when he said this. This is already a tradition of the army, once the army is defeated, need to run away for their lives, those burdensome wounded and sick will voluntarily stay to block the pursuers, these little devils who are bound to die, very tenacious, often bring great trouble to the pursuing troops, which is why in the entire process of the War of Resistance against Japan, there are few complete annihilation of a formed army one of the reasons.

"That's good! I'll go back to the army right away and prepare! Shigeji Suematsu replied casually, then turned around and strode away with his saber on his shoulder.

Looking at Shigeharu Suematsu's back disappearing into the night, Sadao Ushijima sighed again, turned to the chief of staff next to him, Megumi Koto, and said, "Koto-kun! Let's get ready for it! ”

"Hayi!" Megumi Koto replied respectfully, then turned around and went to convey the order.

More than an hour later, Ushijima stood under the night sky, listening to the gunshots and explosions getting closer and closer, with a tragic face. More than 100,000 imperial troops were defeated so far, thinking of the great cause of the empire, Ushijima Sadao couldn't help but feel a pain in the egg.

"Your Excellency, General! It's almost time, it's time for us to retreat! Koto Megumi reminded with a bitter face.

Ushijima nodded noncommittally, and then got into an armored car next to him. Megumi Koto looked at the lonely back of Sadao Ushijima, sighed helplessly, and then waved his hand and said, "Open the way!" "And then also got into an armored car.

The sound of gunfire came mainly from the west and south, and in these two directions, the Min army was launching fierce attacks one after another. On the battlefield, gunshots, explosions, and shouts rang out one after another, and one after another flares continued to hit the night sky, illuminating the entire battlefield as if it were day.

The troops left behind by the army were very tenacious, but in the face of the powerful offensive of the Fujian army, even the most tenacious army could only fall unwillingly! The soldiers of the Fujian army, who were fighting and winning successes, were holding steel guns in their hands and stepping on the corpses of the army all over the ground, constantly pushing forward, compressing the living space of the army.

On the forward position of the 205th Division, the division commander Situ Fei looked at the battlefield in front of him expressionlessly, and the little devils on the battlefield jumped out of the trench one by one without fear of death in order to block the offensive of the Fujian army, holding explosives bags and the Fujian soldiers who rushed up. Although Situ Fei was calm on the surface, there was no explosion, and his heart couldn't help but twitch. These heroic soldiers are the elite of the Fujian army, and every soldier is a valuable asset, but Situ Fei also understands that this is a war, and since it is a war, there will inevitably be casualties, and if you want to fight a war with zero casualties, at least in the current society, it is impossible.

"The little devil is so desperate, it seems that he wants to run for his life! Send electricity to Peng Hanmin of the armored regiment, you must cut off the little devil's retreat, if the little devil is allowed to escape, he won't have to come back! Order the first and second regiments to increase the offensive! Situ Fei said with a serious face.

"Yes!" The adjutant replied loudly, then turned and left. Situ Fei didn't move, looked at it for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and turned around and walked towards the division headquarters.

Ushijima Sadao sat in the armored car with a calm face, because the road conditions were not too good, the armored car was shaky and bumpy very much. But Ushijima Sadao didn't notice it at all, holding a command knife in his hand, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was asleep.

Suddenly, the armored car braked sharply, and because the body of the habitual surname Ushijima Sadao leaned forward suddenly, Ushijima Sadao suddenly opened his eyes. At this time, the car door was opened, and Megumi Koto said with a panicked face, "Your Excellency General! Oh no! The forward brigade has just sent a telegram that the front has been intercepted by the armored units of the China Army! The people of China have nearly 100 tanks and combat vehicles, and their combat effectiveness is very strong, and the forward brigade requested urgent tactical guidance. ”

Ushijima Sadao seemed to have expected such a result a long time ago, and did not show the slightest surprise, but nodded and said, "Send a brigade to support the forward brigade quickly, and tell them to fight in jade crush, be sure to block the chariot troops of the Shina people, and buy time for the retreat of the large army!" Order the main force of the division to turn and turn in the direction of Suzhou! At the same time, we will inform the 114th Division of this situation and ask them to move with us in the direction of Suzhou! ”

"Hayi!" As soon as Megumi Koto heard this, she immediately understood Ushijima Sadao's intentions, and immediately bowed her head respectfully in response, and then turned to leave.

"Peng Hanmin, do you have a fucking long brain! Not even a pig is as stupid as you! Situ Fei in the headquarters of the 205th Division pointed at the nose of Peng Hanmin, the commander of the armored regiment, and scolded loudly. The spit sprayed Peng Hanmin in the face, but Peng Hanmin dared to refute, just stood there with his head down like a child who had made a mistake, and let Situ Fei vent his anger on himself.

"Don't be angry, you can't blame Hanmin for this matter, it's all little devils who are too cunning!" The chief of staff of the division hurriedly grabbed Situ Fei and persuaded him. , and then gave Peng Hanmin a look.

Peng Hanmin raised his head and said, "Master! Although I couldn't stop the little devil this time, where else can the little devil run, it's a big deal that I will take the armored regiment to Suzhou and kill all the little devils that these dogs say! ”

"Humph! Just fuck you can! Do you think Suzhou is so easy to fight? Go explain the fuck to the head seat yourself! Situ Fei was obviously angry, and left angrily after dropping this sentence.

In the Huzhou City Headquarters, Jin Zhao, who was asleep on the table, was suddenly awakened by a sound of footsteps, Jin Zhao looked up, and saw the chief of staff Wen Yingxing walking over with a telegram, Jin Zhao yawned and asked, "How is it!" Did the 18th and 114th divisions stop? ”

Wen Yingxing shook his head and said, "No! The little devil suddenly turned around and ran in the direction of Suzhou, and now he has withdrawn into Wujiang, and the main forces of my 210th and 205th divisions have now rushed to the city of Wujiang and are confronting the Yue army! Situ Fei and Tan Shaoping jointly sent a telegram asking whether they would attack Wujiang. ”

"How many little devils are there in Wujiang City now?" Jin Zhao got up and glanced at the location of Wu Jiang on the map and asked.

"Now the vicinity of Wujiang is mainly the remnants of the 18th Division and the 114th Division of the Yue Army, and there are about more than 20,000 little devils! On the Suzhou side, the main force of the Third Division of the Chinese Army remained behind. Wen Yingxing briefly introduced the current situation in Suzhou to Jin Zhao. (To be continued.) )
