What Song Xilian never expected was that Long Muhan really wanted to imitate Han Fuqu, and he could not run very fast.
What everyone in the 88th Division did not expect was that after receiving the order from the military seat, Commander Long actually ignored it and ordered the troops to speed up their retreat to the west.
"Master, if we retreat as we are now, aren't we afraid of being held accountable?" the chief of staff asked Long Muhan.
I saw, in this dark night, Long Muhan straightened his thin face and sneered: "What a joke, how to pursue it? Just because of him Song Xilian? We are both students in the first phase of Huangpu, I don't believe him Can you kill me?"
"Okay... Master, I have heard that he also took action against Commander Sun Yuanliang and fired. And he fired in front of the troops directly under the Eighty-eighth Division in Nanjing City. "The chief of staff's face darkened slightly.
"So what? Withdraw first and then talk!" Long Muhan had already made up his mind and didn't want to change his decision easily.
Seeing that his persuasion was fruitless, the chief of staff simply stopped persuading him and just let him do as he pleased: "Yes. You are the commander. You make the decision and I obey."
…
Looking at Lan Fengcheng's side, gunshots had already started.
Countless bullets were fired towards the city wall from the direction of the Japanese army, hitting the bluestone wall, and then burst out with little flashes of fire.
Of course, the national army was not to be outdone. This was the second round of fire suppression after the first round of raids.
Six heavy machine guns, plus a dozen light machine guns, and seventy or eighty rifles. Such a powerful firepower configuration allowed the national army to take advantage in the first round of confrontation-the Japanese army In the first round of the confrontation, he was caught off guard and knocked down nearly seventy soldiers!
More than seventy soldiers, this is just the first wave of shooting!
Don't forget, those torches of orders are the most eye-catching targets. As long as they hit those places with the torches lit, they will always gain something.
Later, these little devils learned to be smart, threw down the torches, and then shot at the shining places on the city wall.
The crackling gunfire sounded for a long time, but there was no sound of explosion.
In addition to the objective reason that the Japanese artillery positions had not yet been set up, there was also the fact that the Japanese infantry could not get close to the city wall at all.
Since they were not close to the city wall, grenades and grenades were probably useless.
"Quick! Quick! Quick! Open up the scattered lines and don't gather together!!" Japanese frontline commander Yamamoto Yukichi yelled. In the battles entering Henan, the Japanese casualties were naturally very heavy. , including some officers such as Lieutenant Colonel and Major were killed in action.
People with the rank of colonel are basically the elite among the elites and have rich command experience. If the situation is not particularly urgent, they will basically not send a colonel to take charge of small battles.
"Your Excellency Major, the troops in front of us have suffered heavy casualties, and the enemy's firepower is very fierce. Do we need to apply for fire support or tactical guidance from the brigade commander?!" A Japanese captain ran over and reported to Yamamoto Yukichi road.
Yamamoto Yukichi shook his head and said, "Maybe we can hold on a little longer! The artillery units in the rear are already preparing!"
"Hai!" the Japanese captain responded, and then hurried to command the frontline troops to continue the offensive operation.
Yamamoto Yukichi looked at the captain's leaving figure, but his face turned slightly gloomy: In this period, where can the brigade headquarters send reinforcements to you? Even if you are defeated or killed in battle, you still need to bear it silently.
The brigade headquarters' plan cannot be disrupted. Yamamoto Yukichi muttered something in his heart.
But what exactly is the plan of the Japanese Army's 28th Brigade Headquarters?
The camera goes back to twenty minutes ago.
At this time, groups of Japanese troops were running past in front of them, but Takashi Sakai's command vehicle was parked beside the road. Standing in front of him was a young Japanese army officer with the rank of major.
Sakai Takashi's face was very solemn. He looked at Yamamoto Yukichi and said: "Yamamoto-kun, listen carefully. Our troops are suffering heavy casualties now, but your troops are needed to serve as the vanguard. No matter what the situation is in Lanfeng County, Your unit must complete the test mission. Give our brigade a chance to survive!"
"Hai! If you have any request, please let the brigade commander make it clear! As long as Yamamoto can do it, he will never refuse! Be loyal to the emperor!" Yamamoto Yukichi also said with a very serious expression.
"Previously, there was intelligence that the Chinese army's large forces had left Lanfeng. This is a good opportunity for us. If we can capture Lanfeng, then our troops can rely on Lanfeng County to come to Lanfeng." Resisting the attack of the Chinese Army. Waiting for the arrival of our reinforcements!" Sakai Takashi said seriously, but a trace of worry flashed imperceptibly in his eyes.
For Sakai Takashi, Lanfeng County may be their best opportunity.
If there were more than 4,000 infantry combat troops before Yang Guji was attacked, they would still be able to fight.
However, in this battle with Yang Guji, they almost lost nearly five to six hundred people, and some of their troops were left to rear.
This made Takashi Sakai's already "financial" life suddenly become overwhelming.
Therefore, Sakai Takashi could only take risks.
"I will absolutely obey orders! I am a warrior of the empire in my humble position, and I will never back down!" Yukichi Yamamoto promised.
"Listen, this time, I want you to lead a dissatisfied brigade, about 600 people, to Lanfeng County. No matter how powerful our enemy is, you must hold on! This is my answer to Your only request!" Sakai Takashi said very seriously.
"Hai!" Yamamoto Yukichi responded, very solemnly.
However, after Yamamoto Yukichi took the order and left, he didn't know that the brigade commander had already prepared an elite force. Their goal was to attack the North Gate!
In Sakai Takashi's view, Yamamoto Yukichi's unit was just a feint attack.
But the real direction of attack is at the north gate!
If you want to ask why Takashi Sakai is so courageous, it can only be said that he has a crazy gambler mentality - he is betting that the news that the Chinese army will withdraw from Lanfeng in large numbers is absolutely true!
A large number of Chinese troops withdrew from Lanfeng. Even if Lanfeng had troops, there were definitely not many left.
Therefore, Sakai Takashi bet on this intuition. As long as Yamamoto Yukichi's troops are still attacking desperately, then the few remaining troops of the Chinese army will be attracted to the west gate. By then, other city gates will be The defense was empty.
Only in this way can Takashi Sakai gain control of Lanfeng County as quickly as possible!

PS: Originally there were two updates today.
But I was too tired and sleepy, and I really couldn’t stand it anymore. I lost almost seven or eight pounds during this period. If I continue to lose weight like this, my body probably won’t be able to bear it!
So, there is only one update today. I am going to bed. Good night, fellow book friends!
