The reinforcements from the north and south of the Japanese army finally cleaned up the battlefield, cleaned up the bodies of the Japanese soldiers who had died in the battle, and then cut down trees to prepare to burn the corpses into ashes and then bring them back to China. The Japanese are influenced by Chinese culture and advocate returning to their roots. Coupled with the influence of the spirit of bushido, the Japanese soldiers after their death should be brought back to the arms of Amaterasu. In the north, only one brigade of the Japanese army disposed of the corpses, and most of the brigades, the main force of the Japanese reinforcements, retreated two kilometers to build defensive positions.

The Japanese soldiers, immersed in grief, would never have imagined that the Northeast Army would come to attack again.

Boom Boom!

In the darkness of the night, portable mortars became the sharpest weapons, and many Japanese soldiers who were disposing of the corpses of their comrades were killed on the spot. The mixture of fresh fragments and cold corpses creates a kind of eerie horror.

"A sneak attack by the China?" The face of the commander of the Japanese brigade at the forefront changed dramatically. They never thought that the Northeast Army, which had just taken such a big advantage, would come back. It was even more silent to touch their position.

Da Da Da ...... Machine guns roared, artillery rumbled. The entire Japanese position was again overwhelmed by the flames of battle. The faces of the large Japanese troops who retreated two kilometers to build a defensive position changed wildly, and they did not care about the current position, and quickly gathered troops to support.

Two kilometers, ten minutes away. This time was enough time for the Northeast Army to launch an attack and then calmly withdraw.

By the time the Japanese army arrived at the position, the monstrous fire had already been ignited, and the corpses of the Japanese soldiers piled up there were also being burned, as if the Japanese army had put the corpses on the table, got firewood, but let the Northeast Army light the fire. In addition to the mortar bombardment of the Northeast Army, the entire corpse of the Japanese army was prevented from being strangled indiscriminately, and it was impossible to find the intact ashes even if they were burned.

"Yaga!" The Japanese commander was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Most of his brigade was responsible for defending this direction, and even let the Northeast Army find a hole in the attack. In these short ten minutes, the Japanese army lost hundreds of people, and the brigade responsible for handling the corpses was severely damaged. If they hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid this brigade would have been shattered en masse. Thinking of this, the commander of the Japanese brigade was eager to tear the sneak attack of the Northeast Army to pieces.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, the people of China have just retreated, and we still have time to pursue!" A captain came out to fight.

"Yaga!" The brigade commander was furious. A boss's ear scraper was pumped over. Loud roared, "Are you a pig?" The Imperial Japanese Army is not good at field warfare, how is it the opponent of those mud-legged monkeys in China. In addition, who can guarantee that this is not a trick of the Chinese people, do you still want to calculate the Chinese people? ”

"Hai ......" The captain bowed his head brightly, not daring to touch the captain's brow again.

"Report to the brigade commander, the southern Nagogawa donkey head brigade sent a telegram, claiming that they had been counterattacked by the Chinese people, and I hope that our side will pay attention and not give the Chinese people a chance to take advantage of it." The herald said loudly, "Yaga! The brigade commander looked up to the sky and scolded. This time, the people of China had made it clear that the two sides were attacking almost simultaneously, and in the face of the evacuated Tohoku Army, the telegram of the Nagogawa Brigade was of no use in the slightest.

"Order the scouts to scatter around, not too far away, and defend to prevent the Chinese from attacking at night again." The brigade commander said loudly. He was really a little scared by the sneak attack of the Northeast Army. There is no pattern at all, and it seems that he does not know tiredness at all. Only the day before yesterday was a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves. The current Japanese army is suffering greatly.

"Report the news of the attack on our unit again to the division headquarters and ask the division commander for instructions." It is impossible for the division headquarters not to know such a big movement, and I am afraid that Lieutenant General Shiba Goro is still waiting for their news at the division headquarters.

"Damn the Shina people!" The brigade commander's face was extremely gloomy, because at the end of the day, they had not only scrapped a strangely filled wing, but now they had lost half of the brigade. If it goes on like this, it won't be long before their wing will be attacked by the Northeast Army.

Haicheng, the headquarters of the Japanese army.

"Division commander, no one knows whether the people will attack us or not, we are in the light, they are in the dark. In this situation, we are too passive. And the damage in today's battle is really too great. A telegram of reprimand had already been sent from the headquarters of the First Army. It is required that our first division should quickly come up with means to inflict heavy losses on the people of China. Major General Hanzo Yamanashi said with a gloomy face. Anyone who is severely reprimanded will not look good.

"Yamanashi-kun, the frequent attacks on this day, the army of the Shina people is obviously not one, which shows that the strength of the Shina people around us is probably more than four regiments, at least the two regiments that attacked last and the four regiments in front are not the same. If we analyze it from here, the strength of the Shina people around us may be far greater than we imagined. I'm afraid we've been surrounded by the Chinese army. Lieutenant General Shibagoro said, looking at the map.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, there is no reason! If the large army of the Chinese had besieged us, they would have launched a large-scale attack long ago, so why was it just such a sneak attack by a small force? Major General Hanzo Yamanashi had a puzzled look on his face. After all, in the southeast battlefield, Japan and the Northeast Army resisted hard, and the Northeast Army won a complete victory, which will inevitably greatly boost the morale of the Northeast Army, and will also give birth to the Japanese army has no terrible thoughts, in this case, a hard attack is undoubtedly the best way.

"None of us can tell without accurate information. The troops of the Northeast Army are currently in motion, and the spies they sent into the Chinese Army have no chance to send out the information. This makes it impossible for us to grasp the movements of the Chinese army. The battle plan could not be carried out, and the defensive command made us full of holes everywhere. Lieutenant General Shibagoro said in a deep voice: "And I have a guess, but I can't be sure because of a lack of intelligence. ”

Lieutenant General Shibagoro shook his head and sighed, in a foreign land, without accurate intelligence, the Japanese army was like a blind man. Now Shibagoro was finally able to understand the reason why the Northeast Army spent a lot of money to relocate the soldiers around it, in addition to protecting the common people from the Japanese poison, and without the common people, it would be difficult for the Japanese army to obtain useful information. The common people of the Northeast Army will definitely support the Northeast Army, but they will also invisibly provide intelligence for the Japanese army. After all, there are many people, and in a country like China, it is extremely easy to find some people who are "sincere" to work for the Japanese Empire.

"Division commander, are you saying that the troops of the Shina people are gathering, but in order to put pressure on our division, the troops that arrived with reinforcements participated in the battle?" It is worthy of being an excellent staff officer in Japan, and Shibagoro only said one thing he knew.

"Yes, but it is not excluded that the large army of China has actually been by the side of our first division, and all the army of China has taken small forces to attack, just to induce us to divide our troops, and they will be annihilated by dividing them." Lieutenant General Shiba Goro said.

"Division commander, why don't we just plan it. If tomorrow the Chinese provoke again, they will send troops to pursue, but instead of excluding one group, they will send two support armies, the two sides are three kilometers apart, and once they wait for the Chinese army to ambush the pursuing troops, the rear army will act urgently, and converge with the front to annihilate the Chinese army all the way. Yamanashi Hanzo said in a deep voice.

"You can give it a try, if you can eliminate the army of China this time, you will basically be able to figure out their battle plan." Lieutenant General Shibagoro nodded and cast.

After making a battle plan, Lieutenant General Shibagoro wanted to get a good night's sleep and rest. But the Northeast Army did not give him this opportunity. From midnight to early morning, the Northeast Army launched three more attacks, but unfortunately the Japanese army was prepared and did not take advantage of anything. Even so, the sound of gunfire from time to time still made the Japanese soldiers have black circles on their eyes. After all, more than half of these soldiers are elite veterans and are particularly sensitive to the sound of gunfire. Whenever the guns rang out, they would wake up and get dressed vigilantly. The vigilance of veterans is a heavy strain on recruits. The tense atmosphere is contagious, and the nervousness of the recruits will naturally make the veterans sleepy, and the result is that when the sun rises the next day, most of the Japanese soldiers have a pair of panda eyes.

Listening to the report of his soldiers, Lieutenant General Shiba Goro almost died of anger, how can he fight in such a mental state! Now he understood the purpose of the Shina man. They actually used continuous attacks to make it impossible for the Japanese army to rest in peace, which in turn affected the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army the next day.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, do you think our plan can be implemented?" Major General Hanzo Yamanashi is also at a loss. Anyone who sees so many pairs of Chinese national treasures at once will feel speechless.

"Execution! Now the troops are not resting well, though. But after all, most of them closed their eyes last night. The timing of combat effectiveness does not have a great impact. Lieutenant General Shiba Goro said firmly. At present, he is only not in good spirits, and Lieutenant General Shiba Goro is worried that if he does not act as soon as possible, he is afraid that the spirit of the troops will deteriorate day by day.

Boom Boom!

A burst of mortar shelling came from due south.

"Arrogant Shina people, today is your death!" Lieutenant General Shiba Goro and Major General Hanzo Yamanashi glanced at each other, and a look of anticipation appeared in their eyes.

"Order the Nagogawa Brigade to pursue with all its might while the Shina army is withdrawing!" The Nagogawa Brigade was defending the southern part of Haicheng last night, and although the troops were attacked twice by the Northeast Army and lost about 3,000 men, the entire brigade still had nearly 4,000 men. This was the best force to be dispatched by Shibagoro and Yamanashi Hanzo based on a careful analysis. After all, the scale is too big. I'm afraid the Northeast Army will not be fooled, and if it is dispatched, it is purely to deliver food to the Northeast Army. And 4,000 people are just right, and one or two regiments cannot eat a brigade of the Japanese army in a short time. If the Northeast Army does have an ambush, it will mobilize at least three or four regiments, which will give the other fully manned brigade following you an opportunity to take advantage of. You must know that the latter brigade is the first brigade of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army deserves its trump card. It is also the only unit of the 1st Division that has not suffered losses at the moment.
