I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 653: The Sorrow of Zhongtiao Mountain (26) Ji Gu was probably stunned by the Nationalist Arm

As for the enemy's heavy weapons, they have not used them, so I don't know."

Matsushima understood that this Division Commander Yoshitani was probably stunned by the Nationalist Army facing them.

I actually lost the courage to launch another attack.

"Baga, Jigu-kun, you need to lead your troops and cheer up quickly.

We have two divisions at our disposal. Let's attack now and wipe out the guerrilla division on the other side."

Yoshitani: "Matsushima-kun, we at the Yoshitani Division appreciate your kindness.

It’s not that I don’t want to fight back with you. I just received news that the reinforcements of the Kuomintang army have arrived.

According to scouts, there are more than 20,000 Kuomintang troops coming, and they are flying under the banner of the Third Guerrilla Division.

This bombshell news shocked the division commander Matsushima.

A guerrilla division of more than 20,000 people, plus a brigade of more than 10,000 people.

These are more than 30,000 elite troops of the National Army. It is not easy to deal with them with only 50,000 of them.

Yoshitani: “Mr. Matsushima, you must go to the southern part of Zhongtiao Mountain right now and join the sweep there.

I will guard here. As long as I don't attack, the national army will not take the initiative to attack me.

By tonight, I was secretly retreating to the south.

Based on my understanding of the Nationalist army, as long as we take the initiative to withdraw, they will not dare to pursue us. "

Matsushima had no better solution and could only leave the Yoshitani Division behind to retreat first.

At this time, the Yoshitani Division was trembling with fear, fearing that the guerrilla division's reinforcements would attack them.

Ji Gu was scared. With 30,000 Kuomintang troops against their 20,000, he had no confidence at all.

Also terrified were Xie Jinfang and Fang Zhixiao.

When the two elite divisions of the Japanese gathered together, both of them felt a little nervous.

When Xie Jinfang arrived, he was not flying the flag of his own 207th Division.

Song Wenwan transferred a battalion from the Artillery Marine Brigade to lend to Xie Jinfang.

Let them march in front of the 207th Division and carry the flag of the 3rd Guerrilla Division.

This made Division Commander Yoshitani believe that the main force of the Third Guerrilla Division was coming.

Although they now have more than 30,000 people, the only troops that can really fight are the Supplementary Brigade and Xie Jinfang's First Brigade.

The more than 10,000 defeated soldiers of the Central Army had not been integrated and were not familiar with each other.

They do have fighting capability, but their actual strength is negligible.

So both of them were very nervous and waited until dark.

The time finally reached ten o'clock in the evening, and Fang Zhixiao began to quietly withdraw from the defensive position.

Now it was the troops of the 207th Division, pretending to be from the guerrilla division, carefully crouching in the defensive position.

Song Wenwan and Deng Beihou, leading two Sichuan Army divisions and an artillery marine brigade, had sneaked to the left side of the Jigu Division.

They hid ten kilometers away and waited until the second half of the night before attacking the Yoshitani Division.

The morale of the Yoshitani Division is now extremely low because of the casualties suffered during the day.

When they patrolled at night, they basically circled around the camp, about five kilometers away.

So the Japanese didn't even notice the arrival of Song Wenwan and his troops.

At one o'clock in the middle of the night, Division Commander Yoshitani ordered the entire army to begin retreating.

They retreated to the southern line along the route of the Matsushima Division.

Since it was a night march, Yoshitani was afraid of being discovered by the guerrilla division.

By seven o'clock in the evening, cars had already been sent to evacuate the heavy artillery and baggage troops.

The Japanese troops that are retreating now are basically infantry units, so they can do it quietly at night.

What Ji Gu didn't expect was that his troops had just set out for half an hour.

The pursuit troops led by Song Wenwan had already quietly followed.

It is indeed not easy to fight with 60,000 troops against 20,000 Japanese troops. It is not easy to get rid of the Japanese troops.

We have to wait until tomorrow morning for the Third Division to bring up all their main forces.

The current situation is that the Supplementary Brigade is blocking the front, the Ji Gu Division is fleeing in the middle, and Song Wenwan is chasing behind.

Division Commander Xie Jinfang, with his 207th Division, was hiding in the warm breeze of the trenches.

Xie Jinfang secretly vowed that if the encirclement and annihilation battle tomorrow was not over.

No matter what, he had to discuss it with Commander Song and send his 207th Division to take over.

When this war first broke out, it was a confrontation between the Supply Brigade and the Yoshitani Division's logistics unit.

The Japanese army's supply troops were also in a bad mood when they retreated.

They knew everything that happened during the day, and they couldn't understand why their division commander wanted to execute those wounded soldiers.

Since returning, those executors have been kept in a tent by Ji Gu to rest.

Therefore, the news that all the wounded soldiers did not survive until the next day was not known to others.

Although the Matsushima Division had just passed this road, for some reason it was still difficult to walk on.

I really don’t know what the Matsushima Division went through on this road.

Matsushima: This road has already been leveled by Staff Officer Ono, who sent engineers to do the same.

When my division was retreating, it was speeding along without any hindrance.

Then we knew: It is not easy for us to replenish the brigade, so we sent out half of the engineering battalion.

They all followed the Matsushima Division to destroy the road for the Yoshitani Division's retreat.

After the road is destroyed, we have to rush to Heifengkou behind to set up a new blocking position.

The brothers from the engineering battalion have already started cursing, do you want to tire me to death?

The Japanese army's supply troop finally arrived at the outskirts of Hesongkou at 11 o'clock in the evening.

When they saw the two searchlights on the hillside of Heisongkou, and the flares flying into the sky from time to time.

The Yoshitani Division's logistics troops finally felt relieved.

How dare you openly turn on the searchlight in this place and shine it around.

And they are firing flares as if they are free. Who else could it be but the Imperial Japanese Army?

Without asking, one can tell that this must be the rear guard of the Matsushima Division, and they are here to support them.

The loud speaker on the hillside spoke first: "Stop, answer the command, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom?"

"Martial luck lasts forever!"

"Yoshi, you have so many vehicles, which department are they from?"

"We are the logistics corps of the Yoshitani Division, and we have been ordered to move in ahead of schedule."

The Japanese soldier who got off the truck pointed to the passenger seat of the truck.

"This is the village commander of our logistics corps."

The Japanese sentry on the hillside quickly ran down to salute the regiment commander at the village entrance.

"Reporting to Commander Murakuchi, we are the rear guard of the Matsushima Division.

Before leaving, Division Commander Matsushima asked us to prepare food in advance so that the troops of the Yoshitani Division could be replenished at any time.

Because of the limited ingredients, we can only prepare rice balls, salted fish and miso soup. Please enjoy them. "

The village leader originally wanted to refuse the invitation.

After all, they suffered a defeat inexplicably, so how could they have the nerve to eat and drink for free at the Matsushima Division?

But the sentry at the entrance of the village said that they also prepared miso soup for them, and it tasted like their mother's.

Think of miso soup made with sea bream, red and white radish, fish bones, miso and other ingredients.

The captain at the village entrance couldn't hold back his saliva any longer.
