Tuandizhuang position.
The soldiers of the Third Army were hard pressed by the attack of Fuso's Ninth Division and tens of thousands of puppet troops. It was difficult to raise their heads.
What's more, there are artillery behind the Fuso Army for fire suppression.
"Puch..."
"Da da da~"
"Well"
"Third brother..." A soldier shouted loudly to the middle-aged man who just opened fire with a heavy machine gun.
After shaking for a few times and finding that he was out of breath, the soldier gritted his teeth and took over the heavy machine gun and started shooting wildly at the puppet troops in front.
"Damn you little devil...ahhh~"
"Da da da~"
This scene plays out almost everywhere, as soldiers are dying basically every few seconds.
…
Sixth Division Headquarters.
"General, just now General Yamashita came to report that our Ninth Division should withdraw from Jin Province." Chief of Staff of the Ninth Division, Ohara Makoto, bowed while holding the telegram.
The commander of the 9th Division, Tokugawa Yume, who was looking at the map, suddenly raised his head.
"Um?"
"what's the situation?"
He stepped forward, took the telegram and read it.
"Why is this happening? Our Ninth Division has just arrived in Jin Province, so why should we retreat?" Tokugawa Meng waved the telegram in his hand with an angry expression.
"General, the telegram from the headquarters said that there was a problem with the Sixth Division. Our plan was disrupted and we had to withdraw from Jin Province." Xiao Yuanzhen said.
"What is that guy from Yamada River doing!"
"We will be able to capture the Danchiso position soon. They actually asked us to retreat. Aren't all our efforts in vain?" Tokugawa Yume yelled through gritted teeth with some reluctance.
"The specific reason is unknown, but now the Sixth Division has retreated to Hebei Province, and we have now become a lone army, so General, we should retreat, otherwise we may fall into a situation of being surrounded." Ohara Mazai The people next to me were also very confused, how could the originally good battle situation become like this?
Just when Tokugawa Yume hesitated, an officer walked in outside the door with a telegram.
"General, the First Army of the Northwest Army is approaching Xigua Village." The officer bowed and said while holding the telegram.
"General, it seems that the Sixth Division has withdrawn." Xiao Yuanzhen turned around and said.
"Hmph!" Tokugawa Meng snorted coldly, waved his hand and said: "Let the troops in Xigua Village withdraw, and the entire division retreats to Ji Province."
After saying that, he walked out of the command center angrily.
Ohara really knew why Tokugawa Yume was angry, but there was no other way. He could only look at Tokugawa Yume's back and bow in response.
"Yes, General!"
…
Fuso is very fast, which also benefits from their years of fighting skills.
As soon as the order to retreat was issued, the attacking troops slowly retreated.
Tuandizhuang position
"Captain, Fuso seems to have withdrawn." A soldier said excitedly, holding a gun.
"What are you happy about?"
"Be careful, these little devils will probably attack again." The leader said, staring ahead.
If nothing else, let's just say that more than half of their flanking regiments were killed or wounded, not to mention the other regiments.
The Fuso Army organized their equipment as quickly as possible and quickly retreated to Hebei Province because they had received the news that the First Army would arrive at Xigua Village soon.
Once the first army is in position, they will face an encirclement by the two armies.
By that time, even if you can beat it, you will still suffer huge losses.
The soldiers of the Third Army slowed down after seeing Fuso retreating far away.
It turns out that Fuso really retreated this time.
They instantly stood up and shouted excitedly.
"we won……"
"Won……"
"Fuso has withdrawn..."
The entire position was filled with laughter and laughter, and the officers also felt like they were surviving a disaster.
Because they have seen Fuso's fighting power, it is really terrifying.
The retreat of the Ninth Division symbolized the end of the Shanxi Campaign.
The Northwest Army won the battle of Jin Province at the expense of more than 50,000 people.
Especially the Fourth Army, out of a force of 30,000, only three to four thousand were left.
Both the First Army and the Third Army suffered considerable losses.
…
Tianfu!
"Commander, Fuso has retreated." Xu Zhiyong walked into the headquarters with the telegram and said with a smile.
"Retreating?"
"We retreated. The losses of the Northwest Army were not small this time, and the losses of the Fuso Army were not small either, because we destroyed seventeen fighter jets this time."
Xu Zhiyong couldn't help but feel proud as he spoke.
"Where is our loss?" Qin Jinhong asked.
"We lost three planes. The pilots of all three planes have parachuted out. They should have landed at the border of the Northwest Army."
"Okay, get in touch with the Northwest Army and ask them to protect our pilots if they see them."
"Don't worry, Commander. Each of them has a piece of yellow croaker and a pistol on them. There should be no problem in protecting themselves."
"Training a pilot is not an easy task. Their safety must be ensured."
"It's the commander." Xu Zhiyong responded.
"Commander, there is one pilot who has outstanding performance in this battle with Fuso."
"oh?"
"Tell me about it." Qin Jinhong poured a glass of water for Xu Zhiyong and asked with a smile.
"A pilot named Liu Zicun destroyed three Fuso planes in this battle, but his own plane flew back intact."
"Okay, boy."
"This kid's grades weren't that outstanding when he was in school. How could he be so good? You might say he was lucky, but if it was just luck, how could he destroy three planes?" Xu Zhiyong said.
Qin Jinhong smiled and waved his hands and said with a smile: "You can't say that. What you learn in school is dead stuff after all. For things like actual combat, you have to rely on other things."
"Commander, why don't you encourage them?"
"I'm telling you, Commander, the troops' faith right now is you. If you encourage them, maybe they won't destroy three next time, maybe they will destroy thirteen." Xu Zhiyong said in a small tone.
"Hahaha... ok." Qin Jinhong did not refuse and waved his hand with a smile: "Just the day after tomorrow. Let these soldiers pay attention to rest tomorrow. They are all our treasures. Training a pilot is really expensive. , I’ll go the day after tomorrow.”
"That's great, Commander, I'll inform them right away." After Xu Zhiyong said that, he walked out.
"By the way, prepare the merit medals for me, and I will put them on myself the day after tomorrow!"
"Be prepared, don't worry, Commander."
After Xu Zhiyong left, Qin Jinhong slowly sat on the chair, drank some water and pursed his lips: "Flying one plane to destroy three, good guy, really awesome."
"Song Qiu" Qin Jinhong called, and Song Qiu walked in from outside the door.
"Commander, call me."
"The trip to inspect Qing Province the day after tomorrow has been changed to the day after tomorrow. We will go to Tianfu Military Airport tomorrow."
"Understood Commander."
