At the same time, in the headquarters of the 8th Division.

For the first time in the command headquarters, which had not seen the smiling faces of the generals due to the setbacks of the war in the past eight days, laughter was heard for the first time, not just one person, but many people.

They are all rejoicing at yesterday's victory.

Although yesterday's battle was still a loss, in a tragic white-knuckle battle on the Luo Wenyu front, they were defeated by the Chinese army without gas masks. In order to attack the fortification, they dispatched 10 infantry squadrons in one breath, but in the end they failed, and less than a thousand people were able to be withdrawn, and half of the imperial soldiers remained on the Chinese positions forever.

Not to mention the 29th Army, which defended the top of the black cauldron, the guys who like to cut people with big knives are purely a bunch of crazy people, even if they are stabbed in the body, they have to cut off the opponent's head with a big knife, and there is nothing to say about the battle with a group of madmen.

However, on the side of the independent regiment, there was a solid stabbing duel, but it was still defeated, and the defeat was still very complete.

This should have been an incomparably humiliating for the Japanese army, who had always believed that their stabbing skills and fighting will were unparalleled in the world.

If the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Muto Nobuyoshi, saw that his subordinates could still talk and laugh like this after fighting such a humiliating battle, he would definitely use machine guns to collectively surprise these goods who had no sense of imperial honor.

However, not only the commander of the 11th Brigade, Kunizo Matsuda, was laughing, but the commander of the 16th Brigade, which suffered the heaviest losses, Kan Nagawahara, was also laughing.

You must know that Luo Wenyu fought for eight days, and he wanted to pull out his sword and commit suicide countless times to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, but he was "stopped" back countless times, and now there is less than a brigade of soldiers under his command who can still fight, and the rest are either packed in small boxes or lying in the wounded barracks.

Even Li Shoushan, who has the thickest skin, doesn't know why this Nagakawahara Kan, who can only be called the 16th team leader, can still smile so happily.

Of course, Nagakawahara Kan had to laugh, although he was beaten into a captain, but all this was worth it.

Because, just now, the mole had already sent a message that the even more odious commander of the hateful independent regiment of the people of China had almost been killed, by his 16th brigade.

The 500 Japanese troops who rushed to Luo Wenyu's main position yesterday were under his command of Changchuan Hara Kan, which was the last 500 elite veterans he could gather, and they really lived up to expectations and killed that demon-like guy, the guy who made Nagagawa Hara Kan want to curse him to death in his dreams.

Finally able to sleep well, the first thought that came to Nagagawahara Kan's heart after hearing the news announced by the division commander. The whole thought of fighting against the independent regiment, Major General Nagakawahara Kan couldn't sleep, which almost meant that he had a few hundred people under his command. But he only has more than 6,000 people in total, and how many more days can he, the brigade commander, be the commander? This is one of the reasons why Major General Nagagawahara Kan is so worried that he can't sleep every day.

Now, without that demon, I finally don't have to face this nightmare.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, the newspaper of the Zhina people also published the news this morning that Liu Lang was seriously injured and still being rescued, and we must be cautious about this, so as not to be deceived by his tactics, and the cunning of that Chinese has been taught by all of you here." The chief of staff of the 8th Division, Tanibe, suggested cautiously.

"Well, what Gu Jun said is still very reasonable, Liu Lang is extremely cunning, we can't believe all this news, but the news from the mole is still eighty percent credible, and the warriors under the command of Changchuan Jun also saw the imperial soldier once stabbed a bayonet into this person's chest when they retreated, didn't they?" Xiyi nodded slightly, although he tried his best to stay calm, but the smile on the corner of his mouth still couldn't hide it.

"Of course, the assassination of the enemy commander was my 16th Brigade Brigade, 6th Brigade, 13th Squadron, 8th Squadron Captain Yanagi Shunsuke, but unfortunately Second Lieutenant Yanagi was trapped by the enemy regiment commander after stabbing this knife with an iron bar。。。。。。 Died on the spot. Otherwise, I will ask His Excellency the Division Commander to personally hang up the medal for him. Nagagawahara hurriedly followed Nishi's words.

Watching him grieve for his subordinates, the corners of most people's mouths twitched, and this Chiguoguo's face for himself was too obvious.

"Yo Xi, I will report the credit of Second Lieutenant Yanagi to the headquarters, and I will personally attend his cremation funeral, I will not let the imperial warriors throw themselves into the arms of Amaterasu like this, he will carry a great honor." In the past few days, Xiyi said to the "captain" of Kan Nagagawahara in a rare and extremely kind tone, and even nodded.

"Hello." Nagagawahara bowed his head in delight.

Tanibe Terumi sighed secretly, he understood that his suggestion just now was in vain, and Lieutenant General Nishiyiichi had been carried away by the huge good news that almost killed the head of the Independent Regiment at this moment. Although it is extremely ridiculous that the life and death of a small colonel of the enemy army equivalent to a character like Osa can make an imperial lieutenant general pay so much attention, but in the change of place, Tanibe Terubei can understand the mood of His Excellency the division commander.

Perhaps only those who have experienced this battle can deeply appreciate the helplessness that borders on despair, the Chinese defenders on the opposite side are like an iron pea that cannot be cooked and chewed, each time it seems to collapse, but each time it miraculously resists, while at the same time, the soldiers of the empire are decreasing day by day. Of the 25,000 Imperial Army, plus the Mukden Independent Brigade, there were less than 17,000 people who could still participate in the battle until yesterday night. What is even more terrifying is that there are still nearly 10,000 people of various auxiliary arms.

When this number appeared, Tanibe Terubei almost jumped out of his chair, this was almost a more disastrous defeat than the collective jade shattering of the 4th Brigade, the casualty rate was as high as 40 percent, if it were not for the imperial army's strong will to fight, this battle would have been completely impossible to fight, and what they had to do was not to attack the Chinese positions again, but to think about how to retreat with thousands of wounded soldiers who were constantly wailing.

Chinese, but there are still more than 100,000 troops south of the Great Wall.

Although the 6th Division, which was responsible for the Gubeikou operation, defeated the three divisions of the Central Army of the Zhina, it was blocked to Miyun by the four miscellaneous divisions of the Zhina, who came one after another. Although the will to fight is not strong, it is still tens of thousands of people after all, and the tactical intention of the 6th Division to surround the rear of Luo Wenyu and Xifengkou is obviously impossible to achieve in the short term.

And the initiator of all this was the little colonel of the independent regiment, if it were not for his existence, they would have already stepped on the Great Wall, and the soldiers only pointed to the important town of Pingjin of the Chinese, forcing the Chinese government to sign the armistice agreement that the empire had already drawn up, recognizing the empire's occupation of the whole province of Rehe, and making final preparations for the full occupation of this rich country in the future.

The killing of such a person is undoubtedly the last straw for Xi Yiyi, who is already scratching his scalp, and losing the leader, the once terrible Chinese will not be so terrible, defeating them, I am afraid it will be the last day or two.

I am afraid that only in this way will the position of Lieutenant General Nishiyiichi be retained, and Tanibe Terube knows very well that with such heavy casualties, if he cannot win the final victory, Lieutenant General Nishiyiichi will not stay in the Eighth Division anyway, and the best outcome may be to retire from active duty early. This is undoubtedly extremely cruel to every general who is eager to make a meritorious deed. 8)
