"What you said does make sense. Let's see what happens tomorrow!" Guo Qidian nodded.
…
In the middle of the night, the mountain fog shrouded the sky, and even the stars in the sky gradually began to dim.
While Zhang Tianhai and others were still sleeping soundly, Liu Yuzhang led the troops to advance.
It's not that Liu Yuzhang betrayed his trust or anything, but that Liu Yuzhang thought it over and decided that it would be appropriate to stay away from here at night. Otherwise, when the Japanese fighter planes arrive during the day, they will most likely be bombed.
Don't forget, Liu Yuzhang's troops are indeed powerful in combat, but that's because they have more veterans, not better equipment. It is impossible for a good thing like the Soloton machine gun to be used by troops like the Second Division.
If we have to make a division, it is that the Second Division is a Category A force. The three divisions originally from the National Guard are positioned as Super Category A troops. The Ninth Theater Guard Force happens to inherit the mantle of the original National Guard and belongs to Positioning of super armored forces.
It is precisely because of this that the weapons and equipment of the Ninth War Zone Guard Force are much better than those of other troops.
Just why the Ninth War Zone and the Nationalist Government Military Commission did not organize the new unit into an honorary division is unknown.
…
The next day, the sun shines brightly.
When the first ray of sunshine in the morning covered the earth, the Japanese attack went on as scheduled. Their artillery was aimed at the hillside, and the shells arrived as scheduled.
Siluke
"Hugh~~Boom!!!"
"Hugh~~Boom!!!"
"Hugh~~Boom!!!"
…
Violent explosions echoed on the hillside, and Zhang Tianhai slowly woke up to the sound of shelling.
"Where are the Japanese troops?" Zhang Tianhai opened his sleepy eyes.
"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, the Japanese army has launched continuous attacks on the left and right wings of our army and has not directly attacked our central position." Xu Xun said next to Zhang Tianhai.
"It seems that these little Japanese have learned very smartly. They avoid the front of our army and attack both sides of our army, forcing our army to retreat..." Zhang Tianhai smiled softly.
"Now the frontline troops are counterattacking." Xu Xun reported again.
"It's good to counterattack, it's good to counterattack... The key is that before we evacuate, we must not lose the positions on both wings. If we lose them, we will be forced to retreat across the board." Zhang Tianhai stood up and arranged his clothes. Said the side.
"I understand." Xu Xun nodded.
…
In this dense mountain forest, the Japanese army and the Chinese army fought fiercely for a whole day, with both sides suffering heavy casualties.
"Snapped!!"
A battle report was slammed on Ushijima Mitsuru's desk, but he didn't expect that the enemies he encountered were so difficult to deal with. They were just a few temporary troops put together by several regiments. How could they become such fierce combatants? force?
"BaGeYaLu!! When did the damn China Army become so strong in training? These miscellaneous troops have been entangled with our army for such a long time! If only it had to be at least a division of troops in normal times!" Niu Shimamitsu was extremely angry. For him, this was indeed a very poor record, but it also inspired him to fight to destroy the opposing force.
As long as the National Army can be completely annihilated in this battle and the Ninth Theater District Guard Force is destroyed, there will be much less obstacles encountered by the Japanese army in the future.
However, what no one expected was that a major general of the Japanese Sixth Division like Ushijima Mitsuru would actually regard a division-level force of the national army as an opponent and be determined to annihilate it.
In a whole day, the Japanese army almost lost a large group of troops, because they were not only the main attacker, but also the main attacker who had to annihilate the enemy within a limited time, which was a test of their skills.
A large group, that is, more than a thousand people, is the main attacker of the two-pronged attack. It is normal to lose this small number of troops.
Zhang Tianhai's troops were also about the same. They also lost nearly two battalions of troops, which equaled more than a thousand people. However, the casualties on the national army's side were greater. After all, the weapons and equipment did not It does not represent the training level and combat level.
The former enemy headquarters of the Ninth Theater Zone Guard Force.
At this time, Zhang Tianhai, Zhou Fangjie, Li Yinglun, Guo Qiliang, Gu Shi'an and other core personnel of the Ninth Theater Zone Guard Force had gathered together. It was obvious that this was a short meeting.
"Commander-in-Chief, this is not an option. The Japanese army is going to fight our army on this front line. Now they have sufficient personnel, weapons and ammunition, and their aircraft and artillery are directly bombing our front-line positions in turn. Just these three In days, more than half of our army has been lost. If we don't retreat, we may be in danger of collapse..." The person who made these depressing words was the deputy commander of the army, Zhou Fangjie. Others might not have the courage.
"Commander-in-chief, I also think that the adjutant general is right. We are not saying that we are trying to preserve our strength, but if we continue to fight like this, the vitality of our troops will probably be even more damaged. We are now almost in a war of attrition. There’s an oil war,” said Chief of General Staff Li Yinglun.
The other two military chiefs of the theater guard force also spoke out. Zhang Tianhai felt that this matter should be seriously considered, and according to his arrangement, the retreat would be carried out tomorrow night.
"What the adjutant general and chief of general staff said makes sense. Our army itself does not have many personnel. The total number of infantry combat battalions is 13. From the beginning of the war to now, we have lost nearly six battalions. Indeed. It is not an exaggeration to say that more than half were lost. Let's make a retreat plan now, and the scheduled retreat time is tomorrow night. What do you think?" Zhang Tianhai looked at everyone.
"Commander-in-Chief, I don't think it's appropriate to take this low position." Zhou Fangjie said, "Our army, the main combat troops are now facing the dilemma of losing more than half. If we persist for one more day, there will not be so many troops to use. We can completely move to the Tenth The Fifth Army Group will report. Inform them of our current situation. If they can send troops to accept our army's left and right wing positions, we may not be able to push them down. But it is difficult to do now. "
After hearing this, Zhang Tianhai frowned slightly and said: "What the deputy commander said is very reasonable, so let's do it! Immediately send someone to call the 15th Army Group and ask for instructions from Commander Guan Linzheng. If Commander Guan agrees to do this, we will Complete the troop defense change tonight. If Commander Guan does not agree, we will have to wait until tomorrow night no matter what. At least we will have enough time to wait for Liu Yuzhang's regiment to make arrangements. What do you think?"
