After the 154th Division encountered the fierce fire of the Japanese army, after paying the price of more than 2,000 casualties, the troops quickly began to withdraw, but the artillery wing of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army was still firing shells, which brought great casualties to the evacuated 154th Division troops.

After the division commander Liang Shiji got the report, he immediately ordered the troops to start out of the battle, but the troops of the 56th Wing of the 23rd Brigade and Regiment, which had been serving as a reserve in the rear, began to quickly start attacking under the order of the brigade commander Yuan Shousande, and the three infantry brigades of the 56th Wing began to attack along the left and right flanks, and more than 3,000 devil soldiers pursued the withdrawn 154th Division troops, which brought certain casualties to the 154th Division troops.

After pursuing the 154th Division for a full ten kilometers, the 56th Wing stopped the pursuit and began to return to its position, and at this time the casualties of the 154th Division had exceeded 3,000 people, and at present, the 154th Division can continue to fight, only one reinforced regiment, about 3,000 people.

However, with the troops suffering such a heavy blow just after encountering the Japanese troops, the morale of the officers and men of the 154th Division was extremely low, and now they simply did not have the courage to fight the Japanese army.

"Seat, the 154th Division suffered a fierce blow from the Japanese troops in Qingyuan, and the 154th Division has suffered more than 3,000 casualties and low morale of the troops.

Zhang Ruigui, commander of the 63rd Army, is also preparing to quickly rush to Qingyuan with the troops of the 186th Division, in Zhang Ruigui's view, maybe the troops of the 154th Division have already captured Qingyuan.

After the Chinese troops launched an attack with Sun Weiguo's deployment, the Japanese army successively abandoned Yangshan, Yingde, Wengyuan, Xinfeng and other towns, according to Zhang Ruigui's judgment, the Japanese army at least planned to withdraw to Guangzhou and rely on Guangzhou and other areas for stubborn defense.

But now after hearing the report of the chief of staff of the 63rd Army, Zhang Ruigui's face was full of astonishment, and he couldn't believe that he looked at the chief of staff.

In such a short period of time, a division paid more than 3,000 casualties, Zhang Ruigui was a little frightened in such a battle, he thought about it, except for the time of the Battle of Songhu, during other battles, even if the Chinese troops suffered heavy casualties, they were not disabled in such a short time.

"How did this Liang Shiji command the troops to fight, how should I explain to Commander-in-Chief Sun, Commander-in-Chief Sun also specially warned us to be careful to approach Qingyuan to prevent being ambushed by the Japanese army, and I also sent a telegram to the 154th Division, but Liang Shiji didn't listen to it at all."

After Zhang Ruigui heard the news, his brows furrowed tightly, and he said with dissatisfaction.

"Junza, now that the troops of the 154th Division have withdrawn from Qingyuan, I think you should think about how to explain to Commander-in-Chief Sun."

The chief of staff looked at Zhang Ruigui, and he said with a solemn expression.

Zhang Ruigui stared at the front and thought about it carefully, and after pondering slightly for a while, Zhang Ruigui immediately began to truthfully report what happened here to Sun Weiguo, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy in the Fourth War Zone.

At the same time, here in Quang Ninh, Zheng Guan Zilin also immediately stopped the operation of the troops of the Honor Fourth Regiment, and he quickly got in touch with the division headquarters.

Shaoguan, the former enemy headquarters of the Fourth Theater of Operations.

It was already past three o'clock in the morning, and this time was the most sleepy time, and several staff officers in the general headquarters began to fight up and down with their eyelids, and they were about to fall asleep.

As the radio began to tick and tick, the staff officers immediately became alert, and they immediately began to translate the incoming telegrams.

"Commander-in-chief, the troops of the Honor Third Division called, they were attacked by the Japanese army in Quang Ninh, we didn't even see the little devil's face, the Honor Fourth Regiment lost more than 50 people, the Japanese army arranged barbed wire in front of the position, and also arranged minefields, their bunkers and pillboxes were very hidden, and a lot of light and heavy machine guns were deployed."

Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong came to Sun Weiguo with a telegram, and after he handed the telegram to Sun Weiguo, he reported with a solemn expression.

After hearing Zhao Lerong's report, Sun Weiguo was slightly surprised, the little devil didn't even show his face, but he brought more than 50 casualties to the Honorary Third Division, which made Sun Weiguo a little surprised, the Honorary Third Division is the elite troops that Sun Weiguo masters, and it is not easy for the little devil who can make the Honorary Third Division suffer.

"Commander-in-chief, commander of the 63rd Army Zhang Ruigui sent a telegram that the troops of the 154th Division encountered a fierce attack by the Japanese army in Qingyuan, and the 154th Division is currently losing more than 3,000 people, and Zhang Ruigui is temporarily unable to capture Qingyuan, and he hopes that the commander-in-chief can send elite troops to support the operation."

Sun Weiguo was still surprised that the little devil in Guangning had brought more than 50 casualties to the troops of the Honorary Third Division, and Gao Shen Ge Haifeng came to Sun Weiguo and continued to report.

"What the hell is going on, how did the commander of the 154th Division command the troops to fight, more than 3,000 casualties, even if they are unarmed prisoners, it is enough to kill the little devils for a while, they have just arrived in Qingyuan and suffered such heavy casualties, this is simply a chaotic command, it is simply a joke about the lives of officers and soldiers."

When Sun Weiguo heard that there were more than 3,000 casualties among the troops of the 154th Division, the expression on his face became gloomy, and after slapping the table hard, he said in a cold tone.

"Commander-in-chief, Qingyuan, Guangning have Japanese troops to defend, if I guess correctly, there should also be Japanese troops here in Fogang and Longmen, now it seems that the little devil took the initiative to give up Wengyuan, Yingde, Yangshan and other towns, obviously premeditated."

Zhao Lerong came to Sun Weiguo, he pointed to Qingyuan and other places on the map, looked at Sun Weiguo and said.

Hearing Zhao Lerong's analysis, Sun Weiguo nodded thoughtfully, his eyes looked at the map, and a contemplative expression appeared on his face.

After hesitating for a while, Sun Weiguo pointed to Fogang and said to Zhao Lerong: "Contact Fang Chaoqun's 201st Division troops, and let the 201st Division troops immediately conduct a tentative attack on Fogang to see the situation of the Japanese army in Fogang." At the same time, Huang Tao's 62nd Army troops were immediately contacted, and they were asked to send troops to attack Longmen to see the Japanese garrison in Longmen, and the rest of the troops temporarily stopped moving. Immediately contact Zhang Ruigui, commander of the 63rd Army, the 154th Division suffered heavy casualties, and its division commander must be held accountable. ”

Sun Weiguo had a serious expression on his face, he looked at Zhao Lerong, and said in a serious tone.

For Liang Shiji, the commander of the 154th Division, Sun Weiguo was very angry in his heart, if the casualties of the 154th Division were controlled at 100 people, Sun Weiguo would naturally not hold him responsible.

However, now that the 154th Division has lost more than 3,000 people, Sun Weiguo must hold them accountable, and he is indirectly telling the rest of the departments that Sun Weiguo will hold accountable all officers who are unfavorable in combat, regardless of their positions, no matter who these people are behind the scenes.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Zhao Lerong saluted Sun Weiguo, and he immediately replied. (To be continued.) )
