"Report to the regiment commander, the second and third battalions have exchanged fire with the little devils, the little devils are attacking fiercely, and our army is stubbornly resisting."
A soldier ran up to Li Guotao and said loudly."
Knowing the order, the second battalion and the third battalion, before the battle of Chengnanzhuang is over, you must not let a little devil rush to Chengnanzhuang."
Li Guotao said with a serious face.Li Guotao was not too worried about the battle between the second and third battalions, and it was absolutely no problem to block the attack of the two teams of the little devils with the strength of one battalion.Li Guotao was most worried about the battle of Chengnanzhuang, the first battalion was still launching a fierce attack on Chengnanzhuang regardless of casualties, and under the stubborn resistance of the little devils, our army suffered heavy casualties.Li Guotao even couldn't help but rush to join the battle many times, but in this kind of large-scale battle, one person's strength is limited after all, so even if he really rushes, it won't make much difference.Li Guotao raised his hand and looked at his watch, it had been more than half an hour since the battle began, and the gunfire in the village in the city was still very dense, which showed that the battle was very fierce, although under the fierce attack of our army, almost half of the village had been successfully occupied.And the little devil who guarded the south village of the city also lost more than half.At this time, the little devil stationed in Chengnanzhuang, in addition to the guards of the 110th Division, was the field artillery brigade directly under the 110th Division.Although it is a field artillery brigade, in the establishment of the little devils, this brigade is still dominated by infantry, and these infantry are mainly set up to protect artillery, and their number even exceeds the number of artillery.However, although they are infantry, they are not really infantry, because in terms of combat effectiveness, they are much worse than regular infantry brigades.However, the guards responsible for guarding the division and regimental headquarters have a team of troops, and this team is definitely the elite of the elite, and its combat effectiveness is so strong that it is absolutely second to none in the entire division, so the attack of the Eighth Route Army will be so difficult, and the losses will be quite heavy.Li Guotao frowned, hesitating when to give the order to withdraw from the battle.At this time, a signal soldier hurriedly ran over and said loudly, "Report to the regiment commander, we have just intercepted the telegram sent by the regimental headquarters of the 110th Division, Staff Officer Zhou has deciphered the telegram of the Japanese army, and Sangmu Chongming has ordered all the main forces of the 139th Wing to return to Chengnanzhuang." ”"Great" Li Guotao shouted excitedly, and hurriedly ordered, "Immediately order all the attacking troops, stop the attack immediately, and then alternately cover the withdrawal from Chengnanzhuang, but when retreating, don't be too hasty, and gradually withdraw from the battle, lest the little devils think that our army is defeated and retreat, and take the opportunity to pursue." ”The order quickly reached the front-line troops, and the first battalion commander Yang Erhu shouted loudly, "What are you talking about retreating his grandmother, Lao Tzu has died so many people, is it so easy to retreat The front is the headquarters of the little devil, and give Lao Tzu a quarter of an hour, Lao Tzu can rush into the headquarters of the little devil and capture the old devil of Sangmu Chongming alive, how can he retreat now" "Battalion Commander Yang This is the order of the regiment commander, the regiment commander specially explained, this is an order, it must be carried out immediately, our task has been completed, the troops immediately stop attacking, Alternately cover the withdrawal of Seongnam Village to avoid unnecessary casualties. ”The communications soldier said loudly with a serious face."
Hey" Yang Erhu sighed helplessly, looked up at the Japanese headquarters in front of him, his face was full of unwillingness, but as a soldier, he must obey orders, which Yang Erhu is still very clear.Yang Erhu almost gritted his teeth and gave the order to stop the attack, and the troops began to cover alternately, slowly withdrawing from Chengnanzhuang.In the Japanese headquarters, listening to the gunfire that was getting closer and closer, Sangmu Chongming had even picked up the Wang Ba box and was ready for battle at any time.Although the chief of staff, Matsukawa Daisa, repeatedly requested, Kuwaki Chongming hurriedly retreated, but was very severely rejected by this old devil.Escaping from the battle is a coward's act, and Sangmu Chongming, an old devil, although he is old, his hair is already white.However, this old devil has always regarded himself as the most loyal and brave samurai of His Majesty the Emperor, so naturally he will not do such a thing of escaping."
Your Excellency, Division Commander, for the sake of your safety, you better retreat quickly," Matsukawa Osaku pleaded again.Sangmu Chongming reprimanded coldly, "Matsukawa-kun, do you want to trap me in disloyalty and injustice" "Hayi doesn't dare" Matsukawa Dazuo bowed his head and responded respectfully, but he was wondering in his heart whether he ordered someone to forcibly take Sangmu Chongming away.Although he will inevitably be reprimanded by Sang Mu Chongming afterwards, it is much better than letting him lose his life here in vain, it is much stronger to have a division commander die in battle, which is simply a shame for the imperial army, and this consequence is definitely not something that he, a small Dazuo, can bear.When Matsukawa Dazuo hesitated, Sangmu Chongming suddenly turned to him and said, "Matsukawa-kun, you heard that the gunfire suddenly became a lot more relaxed, is it that the people have stopped attacking" Matsukawa Dazuo just thought about whether he needed to protect Sangmu Chongming to leave here, and did not pay too much attention to the gunfire outside, and then heard Sangmu Chongming's reminder, only to notice that the gunfire outside was indeed a lot looser, with rich experience, Matsukawa Dasama concluded that this was the Eighth Route Army stopped the offensive and was retreating, So he lowered his head and said, "Your Excellency, Division Commander, listening to this gunshot, it seems that the Eighth Route Army has really stopped attacking and is gradually retreating. ”At this time, a Japanese officer hurriedly ran in, with a hint of joy on his face, and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, the commander of the division, the people of China have suddenly stopped attacking and are now gradually withdrawing from Chengnanzhuang." ”"These hateful people of Baga Yalu want to escape, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world, immediately order the troops to pursue with all their might, and these people must not be allowed to escape" Sang Mu Chongming said angrily."
Slow," Matsukawa Osa hurriedly said, "How many Imperial Army warriors do we have now?"
"Report to Your Excellency Chief of Staff, we now only have about two hundred Imperial Army warriors left, and the rest of them are all shattered." ”The Japanese officer replied with a look of shame.Matsukawa Dazuo couldn't help frowning when he heard this, turned to Sangmu Chongming and said, "Your Excellency the division commander, we can't pursue At present, we only have about two hundred imperial warriors left, and the imperial troops in Yijiazhuang, Miaogou, Mengjiawan, Zaoyuan and other places have also been blocked, which shows that the strength of the people is by no means a minority, for the sake of the life and safety of His Excellency the division commander, we cannot pursue, and the remaining two hundred imperial warriors need to stay to protect the safety of His Excellency the division commander." ”aa2705221:
