"It's because you are too dogmatic!"

"As a chief of staff, you are more than adequate."

"But as a commander, you are not decisive enough. You lose opportunities too easily!"

"You can't even lead a large army!"

"Zato-kun, the division leader is not saying this to suppress you, he just hopes that you can get rid of these shortcomings!"

"Sato-kun, if you can learn a little bit about the idea of ​​​​coordinating operations, just like I learn more, then you should soon have a general star on your shoulders."

"If you are still so dogmatic and unwilling to make progress, this general will be an insurmountable gap for you!"

Esaki Sanae, the commander of the Japanese 40th Division, said this with an extremely solemn look on his face.

Japanese Colonel Deputy Chief of Staff Sato Japanese was shaken...

"Hai!"

"Hai!"

"Remember the teachings of His Excellency, the Commander of the Division, Sato!"

Who doesn’t like the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune?

It’s whatever you say, I won’t be stubborn with you.

As long as I can get promoted.

"吆西!"

"Sato-kun! Keep working hard!"

"Please convey the intentions of the commander of this division to each regiment now!"

"We must attack as soon as possible!"

"We must completely eliminate all the stubborn enemies on Black Cloud Mountain before the 41st Division arrives!"

"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"

The commander of the Japanese 40th Division, Esaki Sanae, gave the order, and immediately the entire remaining Japanese soldiers of the 40th Division were fully mobilized!

At present, in the Japanese 40th Division, the 1st Infantry Regiment has been destroyed, and the artillery regiment has also been destroyed.

The original strength of the Japanese 2nd Infantry Regiment was 3,800. Due to the previous artillery bombardment and the comprehensive attack by Fang Yu's 2nd Infantry Battalion, the 3rd and 4th Heavy Machine Gun Company, and the 3rd and 4th Light Machine Gun Company, it suffered a loss of 2,000. , there are 1,800 Japs in existence!

The original strength of the Japanese 3rd Infantry Regiment was 3,800. After previous rounds of artillery bombardment and comprehensive attacks by Fang Yu's 3rd Infantry Battalion, 5th Heavy Machine Gun Company, and 5th Light Machine Gun Company, 1,300 people were lost. 2,500 Japs!

The original establishment of the Japanese Engineer Regiment was 1,000 people. They never participated in the frontal battlefield, but were affected by artillery fire and lost 100 people. There are currently 900 Japanese soldiers.

The original strength of the Japanese Cavalry Regiment was 1,400, but it was bombarded by Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment Artillery Battalion, resulting in 300 casualties, and there are now 1,100 Japanese.

The original strength of the Japanese Baggage Regiment was 3,400. They were ambushed by Li Yunlong with two machine gun battalions and five infantry battalions from the independent regiment headquarters. The fight did not last long, but due to the surprise and sufficient firepower, the Japanese Baggage Regiment suffered a loss of 400 men. There are 3,000 Japs left.

The total number of Japs from these five regiments plus those from the Japs division headquarters is now about 10,000.

Although the Japanese 40th Division suffered comprehensive and heavy losses, the skinny camel... still has some weight.

The Japanese 40th Division originally had 20,000 people, but now there are still 10,000 people left...

This naturally does not mean that the Japanese 40th Division still retains half of its combat effectiveness.

Because the most elite 1st Infantry Regiment and Artillery Regiment have been killed.

The Japs' heavy firepower was basically lost.

Now there are only some Type 92 infantry cannons and some small steel cannons left to fill the scene.

As for the Japanese's baggage regiment and engineering regiment, they are all incidental arms, similar to the logistics arm, and there is no heavy equipment.

But now that they have gathered together, the momentum is still strong.

"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"

"Imperial Warriors!"

"Our Imperial bombers have arrived! The enemy's artillery positions will be destroyed!"

"Now it's our turn to fight back! Avenge the Imperial Warriors!"

"Revenge!"

"Imperial warriors! Raise your weapons! Let us declare war...in the spirit of Bushido!"

"kill!"

After the commander of the Japanese 40th Division, Esaki Sanae, made some concise pre-war mobilization, he immediately shouted a few times and ordered the entire division to attack in an all-out manner!

When climbing up the slope, the Japanese cavalry regiment naturally couldn't ride up, so they simply disengaged from the horses, holding a 38-step lance and a saber on their waist, and just rushed forward.

The cavalry can be used directly as infantry!

The offensive lineup formed by 10,000 Japanese soldiers is still very large.

At this moment, the 1st Infantry Battalion, 1st Heavy Machine Gun Company, 2nd Heavy Machine Gun Company, 2nd Light Machine Gun Company, and 2nd Light Machine Gun Company standing in the trenches on the front battlefield appeared to be in danger...

Although these armed forces on the frontal battlefield were previously defeated and even killed the Japanese's most elite infantry regiment, the First Regiment, with the support of the artillery reinforcement battalion, they actually lost about 300 people themselves...

Originally, the total strength of the first infantry battalion, the first heavy machine gun company, the second heavy machine gun company, the second light machine gun company, and the second light machine gun company on the frontal battlefield was about 1,000 people.

There are only 700 people now!

Seven hundred men fought against the 10,000 Japanese soldiers of the 40th Division...

The difference is a bit outrageous.

No matter how powerful the weapons are, no matter how good the location is, the gap... is still huge.

As soon as the battle started, the firepower became somewhat overwhelming.

"Request artillery support!"

"Request artillery support!"

A wired telephone was set up in the temporary headquarters on the frontal battlefield, enabling effective communication around Heiyun Village.

Cyclops, commander of the 1st Infantry Battalion, also knew not to engage in personal heroism at this moment.

So his only purpose at this moment is very simple, that is to apply for support...

"Battal Commander! Our artillery position has been targeted by Japanese bombers, and we are temporarily unable to provide effective artillery support..."

"Battal Commander! Commander...Commander tells us to retreat to the second line of defense!"

"Battal Commander! The commander said that he has dispatched reinforcements to the second line of defense!"

The messenger's face turned red and he shouted loudly.

it's complicated.

The situation is even more critical!

Seven hundred against ten thousand is a clear death sentence.

In this case, it is better to take a step back to broaden the horizons.

The purpose of setting up three lines of defense before was to prepare for emergencies.

"Damn it!"

"It's so damn unpleasant to give up the defense line to the Japanese!"

"Walk!"

"Bring your weapons with you!"

"Evacuate quickly!"

"Obey the commander's orders!"

Although One-Eyed Dragon did have some emotions in his heart, he also knew that the situation was not optimistic!

He also knew that the commander asked him to evacuate, it was all for the sake of the overall situation!

He can't hinder the commander's overall situation!

The entire army evacuated...

Exit directly through the emergency evacuation route.

These were prepared before when building these three lines of defense.

Even the Maxim heavy machine gun of the heavy machine gun company can be towed away by a small trailer at once...

Before this, they had practiced countless times.

Training for a thousand days! It’s for this battle!

In the distance, the gunshots of the Japanese are getting closer and closer...

"The trenches dug here... are very suitable as a cemetery for these devils..."

The one-eyed dragon raised his eyebrows, and his lonely left eye jumped up and down...
