Chapter 590: Tactical Deception

The 106th Division suddenly encountered a massive attack by Chinese troops during the night.

The Chinese army had apparently been planning for a long time, and after the attack began, the division commander Junrokuro Matsuura was cut off from the brigades and wings.

In such a dark night when the enemy's situation was unknown, Matsuura Junrokuro had to send someone to risk giving orders to the wings to abandon their existing defensive lines and shrink back in order to support them until dawn.

Fortunately, the commanders of the various wings were all battle-hardened, and although they experienced initial panic in the face of a sudden attack, they quickly stabilized their positions and began to retreat in an orderly manner.

As communication with the wings was restored again, the tense face of the division commander Junrokuro Matsuura finally relaxed, and as long as the troops were saved, they had a chance to counterattack.

Although the Chinese army is still desperately attacking on all defensive lines, they have stabilized their positions, and although they have voluntarily abandoned the defensive lines, they will soon be able to recapture them as soon as the day dawns and the situation is clear.

"Order all units to quickly break away from the entanglement with the Chinese army, and cover the troops to prevent the Chinese from taking the opportunity to infiltrate."

Junrokuro Matsuura regained his composure and calmly gave orders.

"Hey!" A devil staff officer hurriedly gave the order.

Although it is not clear why the Chinese army launched a large-scale attack at this time without warning, he believes that everything will be clear as soon as the day dawns.

A devil officer hurriedly walked into the temporary division headquarters and stood up in front of Junrokuro Matsuura.

"General, the attack of the Chinese army has stopped on all fronts." The officer said aloud.

"Nani?" Junrokuro Matsuura thought it was bad news, but when he heard this report, he didn't react for a while, and reconfirmed: "Are you sure that the Shina Army has stopped attacking?"

The officer replied definitely: "General, the Chinese army has withdrawn from the attack position and has retreated on all fronts."

Junrokuro Matsuura's brows suddenly furrowed, and he walked quickly to the sand table that had been built, full of doubts.

What is the Chinese army doing here? Attacking without warning, stopping without warning, is their commander mad?

Junrokuro Matsuura didn't believe that the other party's commander was making this play for fun, there must be some purpose, but what it was for, he couldn't figure it out.

"General, the forward troops ask if they will counterattack and regain the positions they lost just now." The officer saw that Junrokuro Matsuura was silent and continued to speak.

Junrokuro Matsuura glanced out at the dark outside, sporadic gunshots still ringing out, and he suddenly seemed to understand something, and suddenly became relaxed.

"No, let the troops stick to the first defense line and don't fight back, I'm afraid this is a conspiracy of the Chinese army, maybe they are setting up an ambush in the dark and waiting for us to jump inside."

Thinking that the Chinese army first killed the alert troops on its periphery with a large-scale raid without warning, and then saw that it stabilized its position and attacked unsmoothly and took the initiative to retreat, and then set up an ambush in the dark, it was really a wonderful serial set, if I was negligent, I am afraid that I would really fall for it.

Thinking that he had seen through the conspiracy of the Chinese army, Junrokuro Matsuura snorted proudly, as long as you fight steadily, you can't help me with any schemes.

"The general is wise!" Hearing Junrokuro Matsuura's words, the staff officers around him all complimented.

When they heard that the Chinese army took the initiative to stop attacking, they thought that they would not be able to attack, but when they heard Junrokuro Matsuura's analysis, they were suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, the Chinese commander is really cunning.

"Let the wings count the casualties and losses and report them quickly." Junrokuro Matsuura ordered.

"Hey!" The devil officers hurried away, and the staff officers were relieved that the Chinese troops had stopped attacking.

Junrokuro Matsuura, the commander of the 106th Division, did not know that the conspiracy theories he had speculated did not exist at all.

After withdrawing from the battlefield, the Chinese troops did not stop, but directly crossed their own positions and quickly retreated towards the second-line positions on the first line of Wushimen and Yongfeng Bridge.

Because the Ruiwu Road was tight, several divisions of troops were transferred from the Mahuiling line, and their attack this time was just to prepare for the contraction of defense.

The troops on the Devil's Front finally quickly assembled and contacted after the fighting stopped, and the troops resumed communication, but when the casualties were counted, they wanted to cry without tears.

Most of their entire perimeter vigilance was annihilated, except for a few soldiers who were scattered and hidden in the grass and ditches.

The artillery positions were destroyed in the first round of attacks, and many of the wings were accidentally injured in the melee, and the materials and weapons were seriously damaged.

When the losses of the various wings were summed up in the hands of the division commander Junrokuro Matsuura, his face turned blue with the long list of scarlet casualties and material losses.

It was only less than two hours, and the loss was so great that he almost wanted to go crazy, but as a senior general, he still held back and avoided losing his temper in front of his subordinates.

"Order all combat units to prepare for the attack and launch a counteroffensive against the Chinese army as soon as dawn!"

"Quickly contact the aviation units and support our attack after dawn."

……

The huge loss made Matsuura Junrokuro's heart very angry, it was clear that they were attacking troops, but they were so brutally yin at night, and it was really unbearable to come out with such a bad breath.

While the devils were actively counting the casualties and assembling to prepare for the retaliation after dawn, the Chinese officers and soldiers were already retreating in great strides.

As soon as it was dawn, the devil's attack began, and groups of black pressure roared over the Chinese position.

High-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs were thrown down one after another, blowing up the entire Chinese position and setting off a sky full of mud and mist, barbed wire, and rotten wood also flew in the air, and the billowing black smoke seemed to see a wall of smoke more than 10 meters high tumbling and obscuring the battlefield.

"Kill, change, change!"

The commanders of the trenches in the front of the devil were haggard, and their sabers were led forward with murderous eyes.

The devil soldiers who had already gathered in the trenches also poured out of the trenches with fierce faces, and pressed up to the positions of the Chinese army in black pressure.

The devil soldiers charged fiercely, they were beaten by a surprise attack last night and suffered heavy losses, and now they want to take revenge fiercely.

The machine gunners of the devil soldiers set up their machine guns more than 200 meters away from the positions of the Chinese troops, and began to strafe a string of bullets.

The bayonet-armed infantrymen quickly covered the advance with great tactical skill, but they did not meet any resistance from the beginning to the end, not even a single bullet.

When they murderously rushed into the positions of the Chinese army, there was not a single living person except for the blackened trenches that were blown up into a section of blackened trenches, and those scattered debris.

They were like a hard punch on the cotton, that feeling made them extremely unhappy, and the devil turned the whole thing upside down in anger, and then they had to admit a cruel fact, the Chinese army had withdrawn last night.
