"Withdraw it! The operation of the 46th Wing was also canceled and retreated. As soon as the commander of the 12th Division, Kiyotaro Uemura, heard about the battle situation in front of him and immediately gave the order to evacuate. Under the bombardment of so many artillery, attacking Shanhaiguan, and lacking the support of its own artillery, it is purely to seek death. Although the devil is sometimes rigid, he is not brainless.

Not long after the order was issued, the adjutant staff officer ran over with a shocked face and reported: "The vanguard army has dispatched more than 300 heavy guns, and the imperial soldiers who are charging forward have suffered heavy casualties. ”

"More than 300 heavy guns? No way! Uemura Seitaro would never believe that the vanguard army would produce more than three hundred heavy artillery pieces in a short period of time, he suddenly thought of the battle between the four divisions of the devil and the vanguard army some time ago, and couldn't help but say loudly, "It must be that kind of artillery!" That's a blizzard! ”

The battle was widespread throughout the Empire, and the artillery known as the Buran surprised everyone who heard of it, and it was able to fire many shells in a very short period of time, providing dense fire coverage. Within its bounds, it is difficult to escape.

"Tell them to pull back!" Kiyotaro Uemura yelled at the adjutant and suddenly felt the soles of his feet fluttering. With more than 300 heavy artillery bombardments in a short period of time, how many people are left in his army?

"Okay, it's still enjoyable, how many little devils have to die when you hit it?" Liu Zhensan, the commander of the 180th Division, stood on the tower of Shanhaiguan and shouted, "It's a pity that this thing is missing!" If we also sent out so many dozen in each division, wouldn't we be able to conquer all the way! ”

Li Shuren, chief of staff of the 180th Division, said with a smile next to him: "This thing is too expensive for ammunition, just now 20 guns fired more than 300 shells in less than a minute." How many families can be so big-handed? ”

"Aren't we in the vanguard army? I heard that at that time in Shandong, the 41st Division fired nearly 10,000 rounds after three rounds. The three rounds were less than half an hour. Tsk, that's a big deal! Liu Zhen sighed again and again. The 20 rocket launchers in the distance have already played such a momentum, what kind of scene should the 200 rocket launchers be that time?

"Yes! Not to mention anything else, even now our division has more artillery than all the artillery of the 59th Army before! Li Shuren was injured in the Battle of Linyi, and he returned to the team at this time to serve as the chief of staff, but the new 180th Division is very different from the past, "Not only are there more artillery and machine guns, but the number of people has also caught up with more than one army!" ”

"It's not all a last resort! Everyone else is paid empty salaries, and our vanguard army can even be overstaffed. It's just that Lao Jiang still hasn't given a new establishment, and those miscellaneous cards who run away when they listen to the guns of devils are made into a corps, and a corps of them has been rewarded. Fuck it! Liu Zhensan was also aggrieved for the vanguard army in his heart, although he was satisfied with a division of 30,000 people, but he felt angry when he thought of those who dared to call the army with less than 10,000 people.

"I heard that our 59th Army originally had the title of 27th Army, why haven't we seen it?" Li Shuren also felt regretful.

"Originally, it was going to be sent, but then we were assigned to the Third Army to mix sand, and as a result, we were mixed by others." Liu Zhensan also knew some of the conditions below, but Meng Xiang gave them a high degree of freedom, and they did not cut power, and the people under them did not make other small moves, and it was inevitable that they would expand from a total of about 10,000 people to more than 60,000 people. The former Northwest Army has disappeared, and Song Zheyuan's actions have made everyone dissatisfied, but he has become more and more recognized by the vanguard army.

"The devil has run away!" Li Shuren also understood this kind of thing, and didn't say anything more, but a staff officer next to him pointed to the distance and cheered.

The devils attacked quickly, and they evacuated quickly, and after the bombardment of the Katyusha just now, there was no need for Uemura Seitaro to order the evacuation, and the devils who rushed over were already a little timid in their hearts. On the battlefield, if the two sides are fighting and the blood is rushing, I have long forgotten to be afraid. But before he could reach Shanhaiguan, he was either bombarded by huge artillery or this intensive heavy artillery bombardment, and he was just passively beaten, so that no one could support it. Hopeless attacks can easily lead to despair. When Kiyotaro Uemura's retreat order was given, the remaining devils immediately dispersed and retreated.

Behind them was a large-caliber heavy artillery bombardment, in order to lure them into the range of rocket artillery, these heavy artillery did not fire in advance, but at this time they kept chasing the devil's ass and bombarding. However, it takes time for the rocket artillery to install new ammunition, and it is only when the devil is about to run out of the maximum range that the second round is issued.

And the shells of the French cannons have been roaring at the top of the devil's head, roaring beside them. When the devils came, the horses could still gallop, and when they retreated, many of the horses could not run fast, and the slow speed made many of the devils lying on top of them only pray that the cannonballs would not fall on their heads. But the French artillery shells stayed with them until they ran 30 kilometers beyond Shanhaiguan.

"Please step back!"

"No!" Kiyotaro Uemura was not in the least moved by the adjutant's request, and according to information from the navy, the range of this huge cannon was more than forty kilometers. Although they are some distance away from Shanhaiguan, they can still go further.

"This thirty kilometers is a warning! I'm going to wait here for the soldiers to return! Kiyotaro Uemura stood under a tree and looked into the distance. The reconnaissance planes in the sky could not see the situation here, but they did not have to worry too much about safety.

"They're back!" In the distance, a group of devils ran back with their armor off their armor in the distance.

"It's good to be back!" Kiyotaro Uemura felt relieved in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Organize the team!" ”

waited until it got dark, and no one came back except for a few people who ran back later.

"How's the inventory?" There were no lights in the command post, and Kiyotaro Uemura, who was sitting there, asked in a deep voice.

"The number of people who came back from the count was 3,124, of which 634 were wounded." The captain of the 48th Wing, Chilu Li, said cautiously.

"What? Four thousand? That's more than 4,000 people, huh? When Uemura Kiyotaro heard this, he only felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted. This operation sent two wings of about 7,000 people to quickly assault, who knew that only more than 3,000 people ran back, although he was already prepared in his heart, but he didn't expect half of the manpower to be gone.

"46 Wing hasn't been contacted yet?" It was a little before he asked.

The 46th Wing has not received a signal back, and it is not known if they have received a signal to retreat.

What they didn't know was that the 46th Wing was in an encirclement at this time.

They sneaked in from the mountains, not knowing that their every move had long since fallen into the sight of the vanguard. The wild wolves that are often encountered are patrolled by dogs, and the wolftooth special forces members who are lurking in the mountains are constantly reporting their movements.

When they reached a valley, Fan Shaozhen's regiment of the 180th Division of the Vanguard Army, which had already been prepared, immediately blocked their retreat and blocked them at both ends. All kinds of large and small artillery continued to bombard.

"The devil is very fierce and not easy to fight." When Fan Shaozhen received a call from Liu Zhensan, he couldn't help but sigh. A nearby radar station shielded signals within 10 kilometers of the surrounding area. The call of the 46th Wing could not be transmitted, and even the radio signal of the vanguard was somewhat interfered with.

These permanent divisions are indeed formidable, and they have long been accustomed to ambushes when they are constantly encircling and suppressing the anti-Japanese organizations in the northeast. Although it was ambushed and hundreds of soldiers were knocked down at the beginning, the 46th Wing still did not make a big mess, and under the command of Wing Commander Takumi Kitajima, it stabilized its position with the help of mountainous terrain.

"We're going to charge, kill and fight the devil!" Fan Shaozhen said impassionedly.

"What rush? Now that we have the right time and place, we can beat them slowly. The best way to kill and damage your enemies and try your best to preserve your strength is the best way. Liu Zhensan reprimanded.

"Yes!" Fan Shaozhen responded, but then he couldn't help but say, "Seeing that it's getting dark, what if the devil runs away in the night?" ”

"Just light more fires!"

"Let me say that it's more convenient to burn them down with a fire." Wang Yuanzheng, who was standing beside Liu Zhensan, couldn't help but interject.

"Fire?" Liu Zhensan was stunned.

"I went to that place last winter when I was buying medicinal herbs, and in the middle of winter, there were dead branches and rotten grass everywhere, and some fires could be lit." Wang Yuanzheng is a member of the Wang family in Suzhou, and his family is engaged in a large-scale grain business, taking care of a little medicinal herb business. Because he heard that the vanguard army occupied Shanhaiguan, when he went to the northeast to transport grain, he specially came to visit Liu Zhensan, who was familiar with him. He was transporting grain from the northeast, but it did not affect the vanguard army's measures to restrict the shipment of grain. In addition, Liu Zhensan has a slightly intimate relationship with him, but he does not shy away from him.

"Feasible! There's a lot of wind and snow, so you just need to splash a little more grease. Li Shuren nodded beside him.

"I'll send you some great fires!" Meng Xiang soon learned the news and couldn't help but be interested.

Towards dusk, six Ju-88 bombers, escorted by four lightnings, flew over the valley.

"Or do you want to be transported directly by plane?" Fan Shaozhen looked at the plane in the sky and smiled, "Want to be airdropped?" ”

"Throwing bombs?" Takumi Kitajima couldn't help but worry when she saw the plane in the sky. The offensive of the vanguard army was fierce, and the wing had already suffered a third of its casualties. It is necessary to contact the Upper Division in a timely manner. Hopefully, the searchers will survive the sound of gunfire here. Gunsmoke can still be seen during the day, and at night it can only light a fire to attract the reconnaissance plane that the devils are searching for.
