Listening to Tanibe's careful report, Nishiichi could no longer believe his ears, and after receiving the terrible casualty report of the sneak attack by a small group of Chinese troops, he was already so angry that he received the jade shattering news from another brigade commander under his command, Nagagawara Kan, plus a commander of the Eighth Artillery Wing, Nakabu Inoue, and the names of several other Nakasa Shaozo, Nishiichi was almost unable to listen.

His head was already roaring, and his eyes were dark, if it weren't for the quick help of Tanibe Terubi, who was already over fifty years old, he probably wouldn't have to wait for the early retirement notice from the base camp, and it would be over.

Even after a few decades, the disease of cerebral hemorrhage is almost incurable.

No matter how rich his imagination is, Xi Yiyi would never have thought that Luo Wenyu would become the commander of the light pole in the first battle. That's right, the Eighth Division has two infantry brigades under its jurisdiction, and the commanders of the two infantry brigades died at the Luo Wenyu Pass. Although one of these two is stupid and the other is unlucky, Xi Yiyi, who doesn't want to be the head of the Bachelor Division, still doesn't want them to leave him like this.

Even if the Eighth Division won this battle, the huge loss of two major generals in the first battle would be enough to keep His Excellency Lieutenant General Xiyi away from the word Your Excellency.

In other words, no matter what the outcome of Luo Wenyu's battle is, but the outcome of Xi Yiyi has been decided, how do you say that Xi Yiyi is not angry?

"Baga, this is revenge, shameless and despicable China." Xiyi, who had recovered his breath, was furious, and drew his knife and slashed the table in front of him in half.

His eyes were red as if he had eaten mad dog meat, and even Terube Tanibe was frightened by His Excellency the division commander who had completely gone berserk and took a few steps back. If the crazy Xiyi stabbed him to death one by one, then not to mention the Eighth Division, I am afraid that the entire Kwantung Army will become a big joke in the army. Three of the four giants of the Eighth Division died, and the one who survived probably had to commit suicide by disembowelment to thank the world.

Breathing like a mad beast, Nishiichi walked around the headquarters a few times, and finally regained some composure, although the orders he gave were not so calm.

"Tanibe-kun, Major General Nagagawa Yusha, please continue to command the 11th Brigade in battle as the commander of the 11th Brigade for the time being."

"Hello."

"The Eighth Artillery Wing, Komura Nakakumo, temporarily assumed the position of wing commander and continued to command the battle. The squadron leader of one of the squadrons takes over as the captain. ”

"Hello."

"It's twelve o'clock, order all the soldiers on the front line to launch a general attack in an hour after lunch, prepare for the shelling for half an hour, order the two artillery units not to save shells, the baggage to Luo Wenyu will arrive before noon tomorrow, they will have more shells than before, tell them, I will let the imperial cannonballs hit the city of Beiping in China, I will let the people of China die in pain and wail in the roar of the imperial artillery, no matter who he is."

"Hello."

Every time Nishiyichi says a military order, Tanibe Terube is respectful. At least so far, His Excellency the Division Commander has not lost his mind because of the huge losses he has suffered, and his mind is clear.

"Order, the Seventh Brigade will draw out two infantry squadrons, the Fourteenth Brigade will draw out two infantry squadrons, and the Twenty-fifth Brigade will be ordered to draw out one infantry squadron to form a guard brigade on the periphery of the division and regiment, and the search distance will be thirty miles, and the captain of the Seventh Brigade, Sakata Matomo Shaosa, will be in charge of commanding, find out those damn Chinese rats for me, kill them, I will cut off their heads, and pay tribute to the imperial warriors who were shattered in this sneak attack."

This order of Nishiichi made Tanibe Terumi couldn't help but feel excited, and the military order of the division commander was a little irrational! This certainly strengthened the perimeter defense of the entire Eighth Division, but the Seventh and Fourteenth Brigades were both infantry brigades responsible for protecting special diseases such as the Heavy Artillery Brigade and the Eighth Wing, and each brigade drew two infantry squadrons, so that only one infantry squadron was left to protect the artillery, which greatly weakened the protection. Thirty miles, the range is too wide.

The 25th Brigade was an infantry brigade responsible for protecting the safety of the division headquarters, but fortunately, the division commander was not crazy enough to ignore himself, and only drew an infantry squadron.

Of course, Terube Tanibe also knows Nishiichi's suffering. Don't look at the tens of thousands of troops under his command this time, but there are only more than 10,000 infantry really used for offensive and defensive operations, and the rest of the auxiliary arms such as artillery, baggage troops, and engineers are also as high as 10,000. If in peacetime, this more than 10,000 infantry is enough to resist tens of thousands of Chinese, but in Luo Wenyu encountered such a Chinese army that was not afraid of death and was very capable of fighting, especially the fortifications they built using the terrain, they actually resisted the incessant bombardment of dozens of guns of the division and regiment, and the bombardment of more than 20,000 shells did not cause them much loss.

More than 10,000 infantry could only brave the rain of bullets and bullets to fight hard against the Chinese who occupied the advantage of the terrain, and the final result was that in just eight days, nearly 3,000 people were killed and nearly 4,000 were seriously wounded, and almost a brigade was wiped out. Now there are more than 4,000 people on the front line, and they dare not transfer a single soldier or soldier, so they can only draw men from the last three infantry brigades responsible for protection.

However, Tanibe Terubei is still very worried, the Chinese will not sneak attack sooner or later, but they want to sneak attack at this juncture, are they trapped beasts or have some conspiracy? If it weren't for the information from the mole confirming that the cunning Chinese regimental commander was about to die of his injuries, Tanibe Terube would have concluded that this was a conspiracy, a conspiracy to divert the tiger from the mountain.

Tanibe Terube has been frightened by Liu Lang's endless tactics, even if it is a real fight with him, this major general chief of staff who is known for his calculation in the Kwantung Army can smell the smell of conspiracy.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, I think that the Mukden Independent Brigade Li Shoushan can participate in the pursuit of the Chinese, without the need to use so many imperial soldiers." Terumbe Tanibe finally put forward his own suggestion.

"Tanibe-kun, do you think I can still trust those stupid Chinese?" Xiyi's faint eyes made Tanibe Terubei's vest shiver.

"How many brigade commanders do you think? And how many wing captains? Or is it only me, the division commander, who can be assassinated by those crazy Chinese? ”

"Haiy, I will carry out the orders of the division commander." Xi Yiyi's series of questions gradually raising his tone made the sweat on Tanibe Terube's face come down, and he could only bow his head helplessly.

"Tanibe-kun, the more crazy the Chinese retaliate, the more it shows that their commanders are not in a good situation, not to mention, do you think that after these few days of fighting, they can still draw enough troops to carry out a sneak attack on our department?" Perhaps because he felt that his tone was too heavy just now, Xi Yiyi withdrew his faint and frightening eyes, and explained in a slightly soothing tone.

"Hay, Tanibe understands." Terube Tanibe can only choose to be persuaded by the powerful reason of Nishi Yoshiichi.

There's really nothing wrong with this. Unless the Chinese can scatter beans into soldiers, otherwise, where do they have a surplus of soldiers? The daily routine reconnaissance of the reconnaissance planes sent by the air force, which had never participated in the war again, could already be ascertained, and not a single soldier approached Luo Wenyu in the past few days.

In the eight-day battle, although the Eighth Division suffered heavy losses, the Chinese would definitely not be better, and half of their original combat strength of more than 7,000 people was still left, even if they were powerful. Even, it should only be a third.

Yes, even if Liu Lang had done his best, Luo Wenyu's garrison was less than half of what it was eight days ago, and there were only about 2,000 people left in the two regiments of Qi Guangyuan and Dong Shengtang, and the casualty rate was as high as 60 percent. The independent regiment also suffered more than 1,000 casualties, not counting the death company that was wiped out by the whole army, only the three positions of Luo Wenyu Pass were killed, as many as 600 people, and now the defenders have been rotated for six rounds, and even the strong men have become the main force.

Four hours after Xi Yiyi's order began to be executed, Liu Lang received a telegram from Ling Hong: The ghost gate has been opened, and the Ten Palaces Yama have returned smoothly. 1.
