At night, after a fierce battle, the entrance of Niucun Village was full of Japanese soldiers wailing and screaming.

On the north and south banks of the Xiushui River, there are corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere, and the flames of artillery fire illuminate the battlefield.

Although the Japanese soldiers of the second wave of attack withdrew in time, under the fire counterattack of the new regiment, they still suffered nearly 100 casualties, almost half of the squadron's devils.

At this time, looking at the Japanese soldiers who were constantly withdrawing, the old devil Kotaro Yokoyama had a solemn look in his eyes, and he was actually very shocked by the combat power of the new regiment.

"Report to Your Excellency, since the Chinese army quickly locked on our artillery positions. Then we suddenly used mortars to counterattack our artillery position, and all the artillery on the position was blown up, especially the two Type 92 infantry guns and all the more than 10 82-mm mortars that we had worked so hard to bring with the army, as well as a large number of equipped artillery shells, all of which were destroyed by the explosion! Most of the artillery soldiers died, and they sacrificed their lives for His Majesty the Emperor! In addition, the infantry lost more than one hundred and thirty people. When the situation stabilized a little, Koji Kitano, the adjutant of the 29th Infantry Brigade of the Devil who supervised the attack of the four Japanese infantry squadrons, rushed to Kotaro Yokoyama and reported immediately.

When Kotaro Yokoyama heard this, his expression was solemn, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Two attacks, the loss of at least one infantry squadron. There was also a total loss of artillery in his hands, especially mortars, which were the best artillery support for the mountain infantry in pursuit, which was too great for Kotaro Yokoyama.

What's more, if you continue to attack, there will be no heavy artillery support. Although there were still more than forty grenadiers in hand, this kind of light mortar fire was completely incapable of blowing up the key fortifications of the army.

"Baga Ya Road! Damn it! Order the withdrawn troops to rest for ten minutes and replenish their ammunition! Request reinforcements from the imperial garrison in the direction of Wutai and Dingxiang, and go south to outflank and block the northern retreat route of the Chinese army! Kotaro Yokoyama picked up the binoculars and observed for a while that the defensive position of the new regiment in the direction of the entrance of Ushimura Village was dead silent, and knowing that the defensive front of the new regiment was not chaotic, he waved his hand and said to Koji Kitano.

Kitano Koji hesitated for a moment, then paused: "Yes, Your Excellency Shaozuo!" Your Excellency Shosa, do you want to report to Your Excellency Commander Shinozuka about our situation here? Call for night bombing support from the Air Wing! ”。

"Even if the aviation units are dispatched now, they will not be able to dispatch aerial bombardment in such weather conditions! What's more, now that the Battle of Wuhan has reached the last moment, most of the Imperial Air Force units in Jin Province have been transferred to the periphery of the Wuhan area to prepare for war reinforcements, so let's not think about it! ”

Kotaro Yokoyama paused, and then continued: "As for reporting the battle situation here to His Excellency Commander Yoshio Shinozuka, there is no need! Let's wait until we eat some of it or defeat the resistance of the Chinese army! ”。

"Ha Yi, Your Excellency Shao Zuo, obey your orders!" Koji Kitano took the lead in the right path, turned around and left, and carried out Kotaro Yokoyama's order.

At this time, Kotaro Yokoyama always felt that he had met an opponent this time, and the combat effectiveness of the new regiment was beyond his shock.

"The new regiment, a regimental unit of the Eighth Route Army, I, Kotaro Yokoyama, will annihilate you! Yaga! Kotaro Yokoyama silently drew circles in his heart to reassure, but Li Yunlong couldn't hear it now!

Just when Kotaro Yokoyama launched another attack ten minutes after deploying his heavy troops, the victory of the second counterattack made the new regiment temporarily hold its position, but the situation was still not optimistic.

At this time, Li Yunlong had already taken advantage of the time when the Japanese army was retreating and not attacking for the time being, and summoned Zhang Dabiao and others to a meeting at the temporary headquarters.

"Regiment commander, our two flanks and frontal troops will flank the Japanese troops that have entered the ambush fire network, although the artillery team knocked out the artillery positions of the devils, our counterattack is also very effective. But judging from the estimated corpses left by the Japanese army on the battlefield, the casualties of the little devils were not large. At most, it is between one hundred and one hundred and fifty results, and the little devil retreats quickly! In the headquarters, Zhang Dabiao first reported to Li Yunlong, and pointed to the topographic map of Niu Village.

Zhou Hua, the commander of the special service battalion, Ma Wenhai, the commander of the third battalion, and others also nodded in agreement with Zhang Dabiao's words.

Li Yunlong said solemnly: "It seems that the devil unit of the 205th Infantry Brigade of the 11th Brigade of the 11th Brigade of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army is worthy of being an elite unit with strong combat effectiveness. The combat quality is very high, if we take advantage of the situation to chase out, I am afraid that we will be killed by the devil troops on the battlefield! The night battle of the little devil is actually not that he does not fight, but that he is not elite. We don't have a lot of troops right now, so we can't be too complacent for the time being. Well done brothers! As for killing and injuring too many devils, there will inevitably be an attack by the devils next, and there is time to kill the devils! ”。

Ma Wenhai, the commander of the third battalion, said: "Regiment commander, the number of wounded and sacrificed brothers has increased by seven or eight, and we can't afford to lose too much of our troops now!" ”。

"Old Ma, you mean to withdraw the troops?" Li Yunlong raised his eyes and said to Ma Wenhai.

Ma Wenhai nodded and said, "Yes, although the casualties of the brothers seem to be very few at the moment. But we marched all the way west from Hutou Mountain, mobile warfare, and fought in the south and in the north. The attrition of the troops actually adds up to a lot! At this time, Kotaro Yokoyama's Japanese troops were blocked by us here in Ushimura. But once the Japanese army is reinforced, we are still very dangerous! My suggestion is to leave a force here in Niucun to block the Hengshan Infantry Brigade with its unique terrain advantage, and the main force is to withdraw from Niucun immediately and withdraw to the direction of Wutai according to the plan! ”。

"What do the others mean?" Li Yunlong pondered that the suggestions of the three battalion commanders were also correct, although he was full of confidence in the soldiers under him, but the Japanese army surrounded Niucun from all over the country, and he had to think about it!

Zhang Dabiao nodded and said, "Commander, I agree!" Now the brothers are a little tired, but the big guys are used to walking on mountain roads, and they are not so squeamish! ”。

Zhou Hua, the commander of the special service battalion on the side, also said: "Regiment commander, I agree!! ”。

"Good!"

Li Yunlong nodded and said: "Since the big guys agree, then the main force will take advantage of the opportunity that the devil is blocked by us on the south bank of the Xiushui River in Niucun and withdraw to Wutai in the north!" As for the troops left behind to block the attack, I think it is better to work hard for your battalion, leave a company of troops, and I will deploy a Makqin heavy machine gun to you to strengthen the blocking firepower! It is necessary to block Kotaro Yokoyama's troops for at least an hour! Then the blocking force caught up with us lightly! ”。

"Yes, Captain!" Zhang Dabiao knew that his battalion was a good fighting force that fought and blocked, and immediately set up the right path! Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Li Yunlongclaw, God of War of the Anti-Japanese War" for free reading for the first time.
