Hearing this, Saeki Fumiro couldn't help but show a trace of anger on his face, turned to look at the chief of staff, frowned and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, please forgive me for being blunt, the Imperial Army has been defeated, judging from the current situation, it is difficult for the Imperial Army to resist the attack of the Tuba Road, once it is surrounded by the enemy, the situation of the Imperial Army will become more dangerous, so I think that only by retreating can we preserve our strength in order to fight again." The chief of staff of the devil lowered his head and replied cautiously.

"Yaga~!" Fumiro Saeki was furious and couldn't help but scold.

The devil's chief of staff lowered his head and hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, the division commander, think twice. ”

Fumiro Saeki couldn't help but be silent, he didn't know the current situation, but if he gave up, Fumiro Saeki was really unwilling.

Just when Saeki Fumiro hesitated, a devil officer hurriedly ran in, lowered his head and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, the commander of the division, the big thing is not good, the front line of defense has been broken through by the earth eight roads again, and the imperial army can no longer resist it." ”

Hearing this, Saeki Fumiro's face became even more ugly, and it was only at this moment that he understood that he could no longer hesitate, and if he dragged on, they would only lose even worse.

The devil's chief of staff also raised his head and looked at Fumiro Saeki with an expectant expression, as if urging Fumiro Saeki to give an order quickly.

"Hey~!"

A long sigh, full of helplessness and unwillingness.

Saeki Fumiro gritted his teeth and said: "Immediately send an order, order the troops to retreat on all fronts, and fight a bloody way to break through before the Tuba Road is encircled." ”

"Hello! Your Excellency, the commander of the division, is wise, and by the time the imperial reinforcements arrive, especially the 3rd Chariot Division, the Imperial Army will be able to turn defeat into victory and completely destroy these hateful Tubalu. The devil's chief of staff hurriedly said.

"Humph!" Saeki Fumiro snorted coldly and said, "Let's take care of the present first!" ”

"Hello!" The chief of staff of the devil answered again, turned around and went to deliver the order.

Fumiro Saeki's order soon reached the forward positions, and the little devils couldn't resist it, and after receiving the order, they immediately retreated.

The defeated little devils fled all the way north along the railway line, hoping to get rid of the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army and save this little life.

In the temporary headquarters of the independent regiment, Liu Hong, Wu Feng and others were discussing something around the map.

At this time, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army ran in quickly, ran to Liu Hong, raised his hand and saluted, and said loudly: "Report to the regiment commander, according to the report from the front, the little devil began to retreat on all fronts. ”

"The little devil withdrew?" A hint of joy flashed in Liu Hong's eyes.

"Hmmm! The little devils have already begun to retreat on all fronts. The warrior replied in the affirmative.

"Good! It's just wonderful. Liu Hong shouted excitedly.

Wu Feng smiled and said: "The little devils can't do it if they don't retreat, their forward positions have all been broken through, and they can't stop it, so they can only retreat." ”

Zhang Zhicheng said with a smile: "The little devil wants to preserve his strength!" ”

Liu Hong sneered and said, "Then it depends on whether we agree or not." ”

"Immediately send orders to all the troops on the front line, give me full speed to pursue, and be sure to take advantage of this opportunity to crush the main force of the 26th Division in one fell swoop. And maximize the results as much as possible, and consume more of the devil's strength. ”

"Yes!" Wu Feng hurriedly answered, turned around and went to convey the order.

At this time, the little devil has been completely defeated, and the troops of the Eighth Route Army pursued and killed all the way in accordance with the order.

In addition to the Independent Regiment, Zhao Jinglin's 29th Regiment also sent troops to participate in the battle.

The two main regiments almost poured out of the nest and launched the most fierce attack on the little devils.

As soon as the little devil began to retreat, he was completely defeated, and could no longer hold his ground, and the fierce battle lasted from the evening until dawn the next day.

The little devil was routed for dozens of miles all the way, and the Eighth Route Army followed and chased for dozens of miles.

The corpses were everywhere along the way, and the corpses of devils could be seen everywhere, and the 26th Division was severely damaged in this battle, losing about 10,000 people successively.

At dawn the next day, Liu Hong gave the order to stop the attack.

The 26th Division had too many troops, and this time it was only defeated, not completely surrounded, and it was not so easy to completely destroy them.

So Liu Hong decisively ordered and stopped the attack. After all, after this day's fighting, the soldiers are also exhausted and in urgent need of rest.

And the purpose of this battle, they have also achieved. And the little devils also suffered heavy losses at this time, they were beaten in all directions, and the remaining little devils scattered and fled for their lives. If the fight continues, the results achieved will be minimal.

So there is no need to waste any more time, and the little devils are still constantly increasing troops to the front line of Fengzhen.

The Independent Regiment also needs to be prepared in advance, at least to keep the fighters physically fit at all times to meet the more brutal battles below.

Fumiro Saeki, who had escaped all night, was relieved to learn that the Eighth Route Army had finally stopped the pursuit and began to retreat.

"Baga Road~! These abominable dirt roads are really damned! Fumiro Saeki gritted his teeth in anger and kept shouting and scolding.

Although they haven't had time to make a comprehensive statistics, it can be seen from the current situation how big their losses are this time, and it's no wonder that this old devil is so angry.

The chief of staff of the devil next to him hurriedly comforted: "Your Excellency the division commander is angry, although the imperial army has been defeated, the main force still exists, and there is still the strength to fight again." Before, we were negligent in taking precautions, and this time as long as we deal with it carefully, it is absolutely impossible to lose in the hands of Tubalu. ”

"The main force is still there?"

Saeki Fumiro wanted to slap this bastard to death, glared at a pair of dog eyes and asked loudly, "Then let me ask you, how many troops are left in the imperial army now?" ”

"Well...... the chief of staff of the devil didn't know how to answer for a while, originally! No statistics have yet been made, and who knows how many troops will be left.

"Hmph~!" Saeki Fumiro snorted coldly and said, "See for yourself, under such circumstances, how many troops can be left of the imperial army." If you don't need statistics, can't you guess? ”

"Fight again? How to fight again? Why fight again? Saeki Fumiro shouted and scolded, and at this time the old devil's intestines were about to repent.

"Hello~!" The devil's chief of staff was speechless for a while, responded respectfully, and lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

Saeki Fumiro sighed helplessly, and then said, "Immediately gather the troops, count the number of people, and count the casualties." ”

"Hello!"
