"What's over?" The chief of staff next to him has not yet reacted.

Lieutenant General Ito frowned and asked, "Remember the telegram from several infantry brigades this morning?" Last night, the Eighth Route Army fought them for a night, but did not carry out a strong attack, and the losses were very small! ”

"I was very happy and thought we were doing the right thing. As long as we hold our positions, the Eighth Route Army will be helpless against us. Now it seems that I was wrong, it is not that the Eighth Route Army can't help us, but that they don't want to pay too many casualties for the thousands of garrisons on our front line! ”

"Through non-stop tentative offensives, the ammunition of our front-line troops has been consumed, and we will launch an offensive after we run out of ammunition and food~"

The chief of staff finally reacted: "It must be so~"

"Division commander, there are a few brigades that don't have enough ammunition in their hands tonight...... If the Eighth Route Army continues to attack us as it did last night, then these brigades will definitely run out of ammunition and food halfway through the battle! ”

"Without ammunition, they can't even withstand the attack of the local troops of the Eighth Route Army, let alone the main force! Division commander, you must think of a solution now, otherwise these brigades will definitely finish today! ”

"Retreat...... There is no other way to keep these infantry brigades than to retreat! Lieutenant General Ito replied through gritted teeth.

Then he ordered with a frown: "Send a telegram to these brigades and ask them to move to the nearest unit." After daybreak, all the troops retreated and withdrew to Linfen under the cover of aviation! ”

"And what about the new base area we take?" The chief of staff subconsciously asked.

"Give up, give it all up!" Lieutenant General Ito replied with a calm face.

"Compared to the thousands of imperial troops on the front line, those base areas are nothing. As long as the troops are still there, if they are lost this time, we will recapture them in the next sweep! ”

"However, when the troops retreated, they burned all the villages and towns along the way! Since the common people who supported the Eighth Route Army liked to run, then we burned down their houses. Winter is just around the corner, and for them, the house is just as important as the food. Since they support the Eighth Route Army, the Imperial Army must teach them a lesson and make them pay! ”

"Didn't the Eighth Route Army promise to protect those ordinary people? We burned down the houses of the common people and made their promises an empty word! ”

The chief of staff brightened his eyes and replied: "Strike at the prestige of the Eighth Route Army among the common people!" ”

"Without prestige, for the Eighth Route Army, which has not perfected logistics and supplies, whether it is recruiting troops or collecting food, it will be a huge trouble!"

"Of course, the new group can also choose to help the people repair the houses before the winter, but if the houses of hundreds of thousands of people want to be repaired, it is almost impossible to complete them for the new group with only more than 10,000 people!"

"Therefore, we will definitely be able to hit their prestige by doing this, and it will cause huge pressure on the weak logistics of the Eighth Route Army, and it is even possible to directly bankrupt them!"

As soon as it was dark, crackling gunfire rang out around the nine Japanese garrisons on the front line.

The 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army, which was attacked by the 2nd Battalion, did not have much ammunition except for artillery shells, whether it was rifles or heavy machine gun bullets.

As soon as the gunshots rang out outside the station, the captain of the devil brigade was in a hurry.

"The troops must save ammunition, we are running out of ammunition!" This is the first order given by the devil Shaozuo.

The adjutant reminded: "Sir, even so, the ammunition we have left in our hands is only enough for three or four hours!" ”

"Let's get through these three or four hours!" Shao Zuo, who had no other way, replied helplessly.

"Dada...... Boom Boom Boom ......"

The sound of gunfire, the explosion of shells, lasted less than an hour, and the fire on the east side of the station was noticeably weakened.

"Sir, the second squadron in the east is running out of ammunition!"

"Send over the two thousand rounds of ammunition that the guards have just drawn out, so that they can save some use!" Shao Zuo ordered, the worried expression on his face became heavier and heavier, and he explained to the adjutant repeatedly.

As soon as the adjutant left, one of his subordinates rushed over.

Shao Zuo, who thought that there was a problem with another squadron, was just about to speak, and the subordinates who rushed over rushed over rushed to report: "Sir, the division headquarters order!" ”

"Let's immediately break through and retreat, move to the second or fourth infantry brigades next to it, and after dawn, under the cover of aviation, withdraw from the new regiment base area!"

In the past, Shao Zuo would definitely be surprised when he received the retreat order, and he didn't want to carry it out, feeling that retreating in front of the Eighth Route Army would be a humiliation to himself.

However, at this moment, he did not have such an expression, and his tense and anxious face even showed an expression of happiness and relief.

Hardly without any hesitation, he directly ordered: "Artillery, concentrate all the artillery, and carry out a ten-minute artillery fire attack on the position of the Eighth Route Army to the east of the station......"

"The garrisons in other directions left all the puppet troops that cooperated with them and continued to block the attack of the Eighth Route Army. All the other troops moved to the east of the position, and in ten minutes we would break through! ”

"All the ammunition left in the brigade was sent to the second squadron...... In the breakout battle, the second squadron played the vanguard, and the other troops followed! ”

Outside the station, Xiao Yunshan, the commander of the second battalion, didn't know that the devil wanted to break through.

However, he still knows about the lack of ammunition of the devils in the encirclement!

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The sudden artillery attack of the Japanese army undoubtedly startled him a lot.

"Battalion commander, the devil is crazy, concentrating so many artillery shells on our second company......" Wu Yanrong, the instructor next to Xiao Yunshan, was taken aback and exclaimed.

"They're not ......crazy," Xiao Yunshan replied with a frown.

"There are two possibilities for the devils to do this: one is that they want to break through and use cannonballs to smash a breakthrough in our encirclement!"

"One is that they have no ammunition in their hands and want to use shells to make up for their lack of ammunition!"

"Either way, the east is our key defensive direction!"

"The recruit company, the artillery company, the mountain artillery company, and the garrison battalion that cooperated with our actions, all go over, reinforce the second company!"

Xiao Yunshan was very meticulous, and did not give the Japanese puppet army a chance, and directly transferred all the mobile troops that could be used in his hands!

Without any preparation, hundreds of shells smashed into the position of the second company, even if the second company was hit with iron, it would be blown up and melted, not to mention that the second company was not beaten by iron.

At the end of the 10-minute artillery attack, the entire 2nd Company had less than 50 soldiers who could still move, and more than half of them had lost.

At this moment, more than 100 devils who had been supplied with a large amount of ammunition killed them as if they were dying.

"Ready to fight ......"

The commander of the second company, who got up from the dirt, ignored the dirt on his body and ordered loudly.

"Da ......" The devil's firepower was very fierce, and the light and heavy firepower concentrated together suddenly pressed the second company so much that he couldn't lift his head.
