Ryutaro Takagi led the rout of the 117th Wing and fled frantically.

Constantly dodging heavy machine-gun fire and artillery bombardment, he was so tired that he couldn't throw himself to the ground and never get up again.

Yosuke Tanida, the chief of staff next to him, asked breathlessly as he ran:

"Joint ...... Wing Captain...... Your Excellency, we ...... Defeated, His Excellency the Division Commander...... How do you explain that? ”

Hearing this, Ryutaro Takagi suddenly wanted to cry, and said in his heart: How do I know how to explain?

All I know now is that saving the dog's life is the most important thing!

Leave the matter of loyalty to His Majesty the Locust to others!

The big deal is to transfer to the reserves!

The dirt eight roads are too fierce, I don't want to fight the earth eight roads anymore!

……

The news of the defeat of the 117th Wing shocked the soldiers of the 57th Division.

The morale of the army fell instantly.

The little devils were all a little panicked.

They pondered: just now the artillery wing had been almost completely wiped out, and now one of their own brigades went to attack the opponent's artillery position, and failed again.

So how exactly should you deal with the artillery of the Dirt Eight Road?

If you can't destroy the opponent's artillery, wouldn't you have to rely on your own bravery to carry those terrible shells?

Isn't that a joke?

Even if it's an iron man, it's going to be blown to pieces!

Tubalu is so strong, can our 57th Division really win?

You don't want all the jade to be broken, right?

Mom, I don't want to die yet!!

……

Naotoshi Sakata, the wing commander of the 52nd Wing, suddenly felt a chill when he saw Ryutaro Takagi being miserable and the 117th Wing losing his armor.

Secretly made up his mind, and resolutely couldn't rush forward stupidly, otherwise, the fate of this Takagi Ryutaro would be a lesson for himself!

A 117 Wing of about 3,000 people, now only a few hundred people remain.

It's so pitiful that a dignified wing captain has become a squadron leader!

……

The acting division commander, Akiba Ryuken, heard the news of the rout of the 117th Wing, and almost sat on the ground in shock.

Before he reached the water spring, he lost an entire artillery wing and an infantry wing, so how could this battle be fought?

The point is –

The enemy does not seem to have suffered much loss!

At least just now, their artillery was still firing shells like crazy!

It didn't stop for a moment!

It's unbearable!

He strained himself and immediately called the telegraph operator:

"Hurry up, send a telegram to General Okamura, requesting that aviation be sent immediately to bombard the artillery positions of the Dohachi Road!

Inform General Okamura that without the assistance of the Air Corps, our 57th Division would not be able to reach the spring on time! ”

At this time, the co-captain of the 132nd Wing next to him, Ben Lang Dazuo, hurriedly asked:

"Your Excellency Division Commander, didn't you say before that all the aviation forces of the Front Army were on the Jinnan battlefield and could not be mobilized?

Why now—"

Akiba Longxian's face was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and he secretly scolded in his heart that this guy really didn't open which pot to mention.

immediately pretended to be tough, and scolded angrily:

"Yaga!

What do you idiot know?

Now the task of our army is to rush to Shuiquan as soon as possible, if we continue to entangle with Tubalu here, wouldn't it be a delay in the fighter? ”

Duokou was scolded, Ben Duolang wanted to slap himself a little, and said in his heart: Let you talk more!

hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake:

"Hey! What His Excellency the Division Commander said is very true!

Stupid and lowly office! ”

……

Soon, the telegraph operator finished sending the telegram according to Akiba Ryuken's wishes.

A few minutes later, I came to report that:

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the Front Army Headquarters has called back that a flying squadron will be dispatched from the Jinnan Battlefield and is expected to arrive in two hours.

Order us to solve the dirt road as soon as possible and rush to the bottom of Shuiquan City! ”

When Akiba Ryuxian heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and nodded hurriedly:

"Help me call back and inform General Okamura that my 57th Division will swear to complete the task, even if all the jade is broken, I will not hesitate to do it!"

Although it is not now, immediately, immediately and immediately there will be bombers to help, it is not perfect.

But it's good to have it, what more bike?

Listening to his order, the telegraph operator hurriedly bowed and agreed:

"Hey!"

Then Akiba Ryuken ordered in a loud voice:

"All retreat and rest for an hour and a half!

Pay attention to vigilance and strictly guard against sneak attacks on the eight roads! ”

……

The little devil retreated, and the gunfire on the battlefield slowly stopped.

On the front of the highway, on the blocking position of the secret service group, Han Yang saw the retreat of the little devil with a telescope, and couldn't help but say to Wang Quan suspiciously:

"Lao Wang, this little devil suffered such a big loss, and he actually retreated like this?

Rare! ”

"It looks like it is.

But I think they might just retreat and regroup, and they will definitely come back later. ”

Wang Quanfa held the telescope with one arm and looked very carefully.

"Well, it's very likely.

Send someone to inform the head of the regiment!

In addition, let the soldiers take turns to rest, eat some dry food and drink some water, this battle still has to be fought today. ”

"Yes!"

……

On the position of the artillery battalion, Gao Yuanzhi also got a report from the observer and learned that the little devil had retreated.

All gunners were immediately ordered to stop firing their guns, quickly clean their chambers, and dispose of the accumulated shells.

Then he ordered the telegraph operator to send a report to Yang Yuanshan to report the situation.

After everything was dealt with, he walked out of the temporary headquarters and found Wang Ye who was cleaning the battlefield with the soldiers:

"Company Commander Wang, the little devil has retreated, there should be no danger here for us, let's go back to the regiment commander in the guard company."

With so many heavy machine guns, even if another brigade comes from the little devils, we should be able to hold out for a while. ”

He knew that the guard company was the only mobile force in Yang Yuanshan's hands, so he didn't want to occupy it.

After all, there is no guarantee that the little devil will not toss a drama in which a small group of troops sneaks into the rear to attack Yang Yuanshan's headquarters.

Hearing this, Wang Ye nodded:

"Good!"

Then he called his own men, filled the guns and ammunition from the battlefield capture, turned and ran to the rear.

Completely ignoring the exhaustion of the fighters just after the fierce battle.

He knew very well that the core of the current spy group was Yang Yuanshan, the head of the regiment!

The biggest duty of the commander of the guard company is to protect the safety of the other party, so I can't delay too much time here!

……

Yang Yuanshan, who was sitting in the temporary headquarters, almost jumped with joy when he got the telegram from Han Yang and Gao Yuanzhi.

The little devil's artillery wing was almost wiped out, and the brigade that attacked the artillery position also lost seventy-seven or eighty-eight, which is simply double happiness!

It can be said that even if Yang Yuanshan orders the whole regiment to retreat now, it will not affect Li Yunlong's overall layout in Shuiquan.

The little devil is no longer afraid!

The die is cast!

The big picture has been decided!

How could he not be happy?

And it took less than half a day to complete all this!

It was just perfect!

Moreover, now the little devil has taken the initiative to retreat and stop attacking, which is delayed by the little devil's own time!

If one more day is delayed, more militias and guerrillas in the entire northwest of Shanxi will gather near this water spring.

When the time comes, the fate of the little devil will only be worse!

Maybe on that day, the little devil won't be able to eat a mouthful of food or drink a mouthful of water!

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered the telegraph operator to send a telegram to Li Yunlong of Shuiquan to inform him of the battle situation.

But when he finished the order, he suddenly frowned.

- Based on his understanding of the little devil, they must not have given up the attack directly, but must have been fighting other crooked ideas!

Judging from the current situation, the little devil is most likely preparing for a detour.

So he immediately sent someone to the south of Zhaojiayuan Road to inform the second battalion and third company there to be vigilant and prevent the little devils from sneaking up.

However, as soon as he thought of the several anti-aircraft guns and machine guns he had deployed over there, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, and he said in his heart:

Little devil, little devil, don't you come!

Otherwise, wouldn't the great meal I have prepared for you be wasted?

He pondered very beautifully: the path in Zhaojiayuan is not very wide.

So the little devil is coming, it must be crowded with people, and when the time comes, the anti-aircraft guns will be flattened and fired—

Hiss......

It was too exciting!
