Chapter 347: China, Need a Big Victory

Dignity has always been made with fists, not by mouth.

Although it was an offensive and defensive battle, and the Chinese took advantage of the terrain to hold on tenaciously for eight days, the Chinese defenders still won the respect of Matsuda Kunizo. At least he was not sure that he could command a brigade to resist a position bombarded by a dozen heavy guns and dozens of mountain guns, as well as tens of thousands of infantry.

In the face of such a terrible group of Chinese, if, losing the benefits of artillery, then what else is there for the Eighth Division? By only 6000 infantry left? Or how many tanks are left of the tank brigade? Or the nearly 10,000 auxiliaries?

Neither, the Chinese's dense artillery fire and machine guns with a terrifying rate of fire could crush them to pieces.

Although Matsuda Kunizo wanted to drive away the humiliating thoughts that appeared in his mind one by one, he still had to admit rationally that he was really scared and cowardly.

In case the commander of the opposing side knows that the division commander has encountered an accident and his own artillery has been successfully attacked by surprise, what 。。。。。。

Through a series of seemingly unrelated but deadly attacks by the Chinese from afternoon to night, Matsuda Kunizo would be really stupid as a pig if he no longer knew that Liu Lang's damn fat man had used a trick to deceive death.

"Retreat, return to the heavy artillery brigade." Kunizo Matsuda finally gritted his teeth and gave the military order. "At the same time, inform the chief of staff of Tanibe that our 11th Brigade will return to the reinforcement of the Heavy Artillery Brigade and the Eighth Artillery Wing, and the whole army will retreat to Baishigou, thirty miles away."

And Terube Tanibe, who was still repairing ten miles away, gave the order to retreat one step earlier than Matsuda Kunizo after hearing the news that Nishiichi was seriously injured.

This battle has actually been lost so far, and Nishiyi is struggling to support his future, and Tanibe Terube has long realized this. The divisional infantry has already suffered more than half of the casualties, and even if they break through the pass and step into the hinterland of northern China, their seemingly strong army is actually already a strong foreign force.

If the two artillery units were successfully attacked by the Chinese again, the nearly 20,000 Imperial Imperial Army, which had lost fire support, would encounter a Chinese army of the same level, it would inevitably be defeated. What if you encounter another Chinese army with similar combat effectiveness to the Chinese army in front of you? Terube Tanibe couldn't have imagined that terrible consequence.

Retreat is the most important thing to do at the moment.

The two highest-ranking men in the current Japanese army issued the order to retreat almost at the same time, how could the Japanese army, which had been frightened, not retreat?

The retreating Japanese troops, who were hastily protecting the division headquarters and the seriously wounded headquarters, did not even glance at the heavy artillery brigade that was still in the dark ten miles away, even though there were still fierce gunfire and explosions from time to time, indicating that the battle was still going on.

But that was the matter of Major General Matsuda Kunizo, and it had already been said in the military order that Major General Matsuda would return to the heavy artillery brigade and the 8th Artillery Wing. The Japanese troops, who were extremely obedient to military orders, withdrew extremely quickly, and even the Chinese who kept firing shells on the hill reoccupied by the Chinese did not care, even if the shells that seriously injured Lieutenant General Nishiyichi were sent from.

And Matsuda Kunizo didn't carry out his military orders, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't.

When the Japanese army began to retreat, Liu Lang keenly discovered that not only the Japanese troops in front of the position were taking the initiative to retreat, but also the Japanese troops more than ten miles away also lit torches, which was extremely rare for the Japanese army, which had always been disciplined.

Although it is impossible to determine what the Japanese army wants to do, but so far the Japanese army's heavy artillery has not fired a single shell, obviously, Cheng Yuanshan and they have at least succeeded for a short time.

The independent regiment, on the other hand, had more than a dozen mountain guns and mortars far exceeding the number of Japanese troops, and for the first time had an advantage in heavy firepower.

"Want to run?" The corners of Liu Lang's mouth showed a hint of ridicule.

With artillery support at any time, you are naturally qualified to come as you want to go, but now, there is no such welfare package.

"Order the whole army, rush out of the position, stick them out to Lao Tzu, keep the distance at 400 meters, and the artillery will be ready to listen to the order for Lao Tzu to beat them according to the signal given by the observer." Liu Lang slammed his fist on the stone, and ordered with murderous eyes.

If before the Battle of the Great Wall, his greatest purpose was to hold the pass, use every inch of mountains and rivers and every inch of blood to alert the Chinese people, and use sacrifice to declare to the world: In the face of strong humiliation, the Chinese will not retreat. But now, he is under siege, not only can he not retreat, but he also has to advance.

Not only the lives of the soldiers of the whole army, but more importantly, the sacrifice of the entire army will become the spoils of war for the Japanese invaders to show off.

China has suffered too many failures, and the failures have even made people doubt themselves. Liu Lang must use a big victory to tell the Chinese people that the Japanese, once defeated, are the same dishes.

So, he has to go in.

If you want to enter, you have to crush the Japanese army in front of you, even if they still have thousands of people, even if they only have 1,500 people.

But they are out of artillery, and themselves, there are. That was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Under Liu Lang's order, the Chinese soldiers on the entire defense line poured out, and there was not even a single person left on the position, as long as they could hold a gun and walk the way, they all carried a gun to the battlefield.

Gou Defu, the temporary squad leader of the cooking squad of the regiment headquarters, also hung his arms and rushed in front of Liu Lang with a box cannon in one hand. He had now removed his temporary title and become the official squad leader, but he no longer had a single soldier under him, a full 8 recruits, and in the last two days of fierce fighting, more than half of them were gone. The only two remained, one with only one arm and one leg left, which became the legendary cripple and was taken away by Ji Yanxue.

Gou Defu, who was just promoted to a first-class soldier yesterday, became the commander of the light pole, a bare-pole squad leader with red eyes, what a bullshit Gou family, what a bullshit brother-in-law, now Gou Defu has no time to think, he wants to kill a few more Japanese devils to avenge his subordinates and fellow villagers.

That's right, those 8 recruits are all soldiers from Tongguan. Gou Defu spent a full 5,000 oceans of military spending to successfully "bribe" Major Liang Wenzhong, who was in charge of logistics, to transfer him over. Those were the eight microphones that helped him get rich and returned to his hometown! He is no longer a gentleman, but a sergeant squad leader of the Independent Regiment of the Central Army, and he has only been in the army for half a year! This promotion speed is not worse than that of the captain and company commander Gou Cheng in the clan!

But now, it's all gone, can you not be red-eyed?

Of course, what Gou Defu was thinking about at this time was the eyes of the 8 recruits who handed over the relics to him before going to the battlefield, which was the remembrance and reluctance of his family. How will he face the family members of those fellow villagers in the future? Is it the current ocean pension of white flowers or the worthless medals awarded by the officials and lords of the national government?

No, none of this can be done, he can only bring a number, the number of the Japanese he killed, and the blood debt can only be paid with blood.

For the first time, Gou Defu, whose brains were already congested, rushed in front of the regimental commander with great combat effectiveness regardless of his life. made Liu Lang think that his charm value was too high, so that this gentleman took the initiative to block the gun for himself, although several times he had to kick this thing down to avoid the Japanese machine gun fire.

Zhao Ergou, who had already hit madness, didn't care about the shells for the first time, the cannons were about to be blown up, what else did the shells do?

The shells carried the artillery, and the artillerymen were bleeding and angry, and they were crazy to explode on the heads and sides of the Japanese soldiers who were stuck to the independence regiment.

The explosion made Matsuda Kunizo not only cold his eyes, but also tears were about to fall.

Bagaya Road, this is not using bean bags as dry food! Even if there is no artillery, when has the Imperial Japanese Army, whose combat effectiveness has always been outstanding, been so underestimated? Three or four thousand people were chased and beaten by more than a thousand Chinese?

But the imperial warriors with explosive combat effectiveness were really about to be blown up this time, and the machine gun bullets hundreds of meters away swept over like a scoop, and they wanted to organize a counter-charge to fight the arrogance of the Chinese, and it was the precious lives of the warriors who paid for it.

The most odious thing is still the artillery of the Chinese, don't you want money for shells? Is it necessary to bomb from the east to the west without stopping?

This, it really doesn't cost money, from artillery to shells, it's all about robbing the Fourth Brigade.
