When Zhang Tianhai's mind was filled with doubts, the Japanese army finally broke through Wutailing guarded by the Cantonese army.
…
Amid the fireworks, Japanese second lieutenant Matsushita boarded the Wutailing position holding a pistol.
…
Time goes back to twenty minutes ago.
"Report to the regiment commander, the division commander needs an urgent telegram!" A combat staff officer ran to the regiment leader Long Shaoan with a telegram in hand and reported.
"What? Is it the division commander's order?" Long Shaoan's eyes flashed with hope. He hoped that it was the division commander's order to retreat, but this sentence could not come out of his mouth.
It's not that Long Shaoan is greedy for life or anything, but that his regiment is almost exhausted! No officer wants to wipe out all his troops!
You have to leave a seed after all, right?
"Yes! Regiment commander! The division commander asked our regiment to withdraw from the position immediately!" the combat staff officer said with great certainty.
It's already reached this point, and it's impossible for the order to have other ideas. After all, if it is interrupted, it will be disrupted!
So, Long Shaoan nodded and said, "Okay! Order the troops to resist in an orderly manner, and cross-cover the troops to retreat!"
"Yes! Sir!" the staff officer responded.
In fact, at this point in the battle, there were very few Chinese troops left to guard this hilltop, but they still could not let the Japanese occupy it so easily.
It is no joke to be defeated like a mountain. Long Shaoan cannot let this situation happen - so he must let the few remaining people retreat alternately!
In the distance, Ou Zhen, who was looking at the purgatory-like Wutailing in the telescope, unconsciously flashed a twitch on his face: Although he was no longer a newbie on the battlefield, every time he saw his compatriots fighting in this battle, When he was suffering under the terrifying sound of gunfire, he would always feel a little bit intolerable.
When a gentleman stays away from the cook, isn't he actually talking about compassion?
"Division Commander, let the troops evacuate Wutailing now. It won't be that easy to take it back..." the chief of staff next to him said.
"So what if we can't get it back? The sacrifices we make now are just for tomorrow's victory." Ou Zhen's face quickly returned to calm. No matter what, he is an excellent commander!
"Yes, I understand." The chief of staff nodded, "Captain Long's regiment seems to be losing its vitality."
"If your vitality is damaged, you can make up for it later. This time, if little Japan wants to run away again, it will be impossible." A cold light flashed in Ou Zhen's eyes, and a cold light shone in all directions.
"Yes! Division commander." The chief of staff responded.
…
As the battle became more intense, just as Ou Zhen, Wu Qiwei and others expected, the 106th Division really put its elite into this battle.
The balance of victory in the Wutailing battle has tilted infinitely towards the Japanese army!
Sure enough, the Japanese army won this battle, but they also suffered nearly a thousand casualties.
As for the national army, the Long Shaoan Regiment of the 90th Division of the Guangdong Army has only one-third of its personnel left. Obviously, the Japanese army won by a large margin.
"Oh no~! Speed up the march!!" The grassroots officers of the Japanese army were yelling, because they firmly believed that their side had won this battle - and they would continue to win!
The long-term victory by a big score, as well as the continuous victory on the south bank of the Yangtze River, gave the 106th Division an arrogant air to both officers and soldiers!
"Haas!! Kill!" the Japanese soldiers were yelling.
If any bloody Chinese people see this kind of scene, they will definitely want to kill this enemy force and defeat the enemy's front!
News of the fall of Wutailing quickly reached Xue Yue's First Corps Headquarters.
But this time, when the frontline positions were lost, the national army did not show due fear and panic. Instead, it confidently issued an order ordering all relevant troops to speed up the process.
"Brother Xiqi, it seems that this time, we have a plan for this battle." After issuing this emergency order, Xue Yue's mood was quite good. After all, Little Japan was about to enter his side. encircled them. In terms of grand strategy, their goal has been half achieved.
"The next step is to see Little Japan's actions. Little Japan has now entered the Wanjialing area, and not only Matsuura Junrokuro's 106th Division is advancing towards Wanjialing, but also Ito Masaki The 101st Division is also heading towards Wanjialing. In my humble opinion, these little Japanese are planning to join the 27th Division in the northwest and then join forces with the 101st Division. The main force used two and a half divisions to cut off the retreat of the main force of our national army on the south bank of the Yangtze River. This move is very beautiful." Wu Yizhi adjusted his circle glasses and said.
"Then we have to wait until they can join forces!" Xue Yue said with a smile, "At this moment, part of our Shang Zhen Group, together with part of the Second Corps, has already formed an oppression on their 27th Division. If they fail to rescue, this division will be doomed. Besides, the 106th Division has now begun to rush into the Wanjialing area. If they want to control this area, they will inevitably divide their troops. When they fall into this Quagmire, then the time has come.”
"Then in your opinion, sir, where will they divide their troops?" Wu Yizhi smiled, as if he was already confident.
"It seems that Brother Xiqi has already made a conclusion. Why don't you tell me?" Xue Yue looked at Wu Yizhi next to him with a smile.
"Yes, but after I have given my answer in my humble position, I hope that the superior can also tell you your answer." Wu Yizhi straightened his back, looking very much like those people in movies and TV shows who are about to make big moves.
"Okay. But it doesn't matter." Xue Yue nodded, the smile on his face not diminishing.
"How about this! The humble position points to a place on the map, and the superior also points to a place on the map. How about that?" With that, Wu Yizhi walked to the front of the map.
"Good." Xue Yue nodded and walked closer.
A magical scene appeared. Both of them pointed to the two locations "Second House Zheng" and "Lishan" at the same time.
"It seems that the heroes have similar views..." The two looked at each other and smiled.
…
And is the reality exactly what they thought?
The camera turned to the Wutailing front line again.
After taking Wutailing, Colonel Tanaka Seido was not in a generally good mood.
"Warriors of the Rising Sun! Look! We have won another victory! The Warriors of the Rising Sun are invincible!!" As he spoke, Tanaka Seido pulled out the samurai sword from his waist and waved it towards the sky, while his The subordinates followed closely and shouted.
"Long live!!"
"Halloween!!"
"Long live the Emperor!!"
For a time, various cheering sounds resounded on the top of Wutailing.
In the distance, the stocky major general brigade commander was also paying close attention to this scene. He was Shanditan, the brigade commander of the 111th Brigade!
"But, order the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Regiments to continue moving forward. Our victory is far from coming!" Shanditan said.
"But your Excellency, brigade commander, should we continue to move forward according to the original plan?" asked the Japanese staff officer next to him.
