"I'm leaving. You guys, please stay where you are and don't do anything else, otherwise I won't be able to spare you!"
Although this telegram didn't say that, it just meant that, and no one could stand it.
"Baga Yalu, these damn Chinese people, I must kill them all, and then hang their heads on the trees!"
"Didn't the Chinese say they want to retreat? Then let us turn their retreat path into a death march and turn this road into a road to hell!"
How can these arrogant officers stand this? This all-out large-scale war between China and Japan has entered its fourth year. At this time, the Japanese army has occupied Northeast China, North China, Central China, East China, the Yangtze River Delta and
The Pearl River Delta and other vast and prosperous areas accounted for almost half of China. Even Hong Kong, which was a British colony at the time, was occupied by the Japanese army.
It can be said that China has reached its most difficult period at this time, and the arrogance of the Japanese army has reached its peak. Although the emergence of Gao Hongming has dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army in the past year or so, in general China
The Japanese army still had the upper hand on the battlefield, so the Japanese army couldn't stand this arrogant telegram.
Therefore, many division commanders who were hesitant at first saw such an angry crowd below and had no choice but to give up even if they still had some ideas in their hearts.
Well...since you, Gao Hongming, are so arrogant, don't blame us for being rude.
Of course, not everyone is so excited, such as the people of the 33rd Division.
When everyone was discussing how to pursue the entire front, the commander of the 33rd Division, Jutaro Amakasu, said directly to the other three division commanders: "Everyone... our division has suffered too many losses in the recent battles, so this
Our 33rd Division will not participate in this pursuit, but we will still pray for you all and hope that Amaterasu will bless you all and win the battle."
Adachi Twenty-three, the commander of the Thirty-seventh Division, looked over with a gloomy expression: "Mr. Amakame, have you really made your decision?"
"I have decided." Faced with Adachi Twenty-three's oppressive eyes, Jutaro Amakasu said without fear: "Our division already has two infantry regiments, one baggage regiment, and three regiment captains all in pieces.
The remaining infantry regiment and other troops combined have less than 5,000 men. Adding in other support personnel, the entire division has less than 7,000 men.
In order to prevent the 33rd Division from being cut off in my hands, I will never let them take risks again!"
Listening to Amakasu Jutaro's firm look and decisive words, several division commanders didn't know what to say. After all, they were all on the same level. Amakasu Jutaro was really determined not to send troops to pursue them. They really didn't have any good ideas.

As the sun sets in the west, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the green wheat in the wilderness and cultivated fields on the outskirts of Qiuyang County, glowing like gold. In this way, God seems to be telling the invaders who broke into this place that this is China, this is China.
The land is tenacious, the crops are tenacious, and the people living on this land are also tenacious.
This battle has lasted for three hours, and it is now late at night. It is supposed to be sleep time, but the fierce sound of gunfire tells people all the time that a fierce battle is going on here.
The indistinguishable sound of artillery that shocked the heart and lungs once again shook the world. Dozens of artillery shells, carrying either sharp or low whistling sounds, pierced the silence of the night sky. From far to near, they swarmed into the ground like hailstones, and then continued
It was an undulating sound of explosions, with mushroom-like swelling, sometimes rising into orange-red smoke clouds tens of meters in the air. The smoke-filled smoke clouds gathered into a single piece, completely covering several square kilometers including the highway.
soil of.
A sergeant of the 31st Division was lying in a foxhole, holding a dusty Type 38 rifle while smoking a cigarette. He suddenly took a breath and lowered his head.
I found that at some point, a piece of mud blown up by the artillery shell was stuck on the cigarette butt, extinguishing the cigarette.
He could only flick the cigarette butt far away with a flick of his finger, and cursed loudly. Through the starlight, he could see that the white cloth wrapped around the shoulder of the sergeant was still leaking blood, but it was obvious that this
The famous sergeant was already numb. Although the sergeant's face was full of anger under the starlight, more of it looked a little numb.
There was no expression on his face. Occasionally, the sergeant would look towards his side, half leaning in the mud, and look at a private huddled in a foxhole with fear on his face, and then he would sigh again.
Then he took out a cigarette, lit it with a match, and continued to smoke.
This is a difficult pursuit, and it is destined to be difficult.
Gao Hongming did what he said. As soon as the withdrawal of troops and power supply was issued, the troops began to evacuate one after another early the next morning. Seeing that the Chinese army dared to retreat towards Shanxi on favorable terrain, several division commanders looked at it. What else could they do?
They were polite, overjoyed and immediately commanded the army to cover up and kill them.
They originally thought it would be a fun pursuit, but the reality was a slap in the face.
As soon as the tens of thousands of troops of the Thirty-one, Thirty-sixth and Thirty-seventh Divisions took action, they were greeted by a group of black bombers. Countless high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs blew up the Japanese troops who also jumped out of the bunker.
.
On the other hand, the Japanese army, although Neiji Okamura, who was far away in Peiping, begged his grandfather and grandma to mobilize more than fifty aircraft, including Type 1 and Type 0 fighters, to come to help.
Under the ambush, only a dozen of the more than fifty Japanese planes finally flew back.
Without air cover, the three division commanders discovered that their own misfortunes were beginning to fall.
Two squadrons of B-25 medium bombers and one squadron of Stuka dive bombers instantly used incendiary bombs and high-explosive bombs to devour the cavalry regiment of the Thirty-sixtieth Regiment that was chasing the front. In the end, the cavalry regiment
Less than two hundred people escaped alone.
The bombing continued until dark, but the misfortune was not over. The Chinese army, which had been retreating while fighting, suddenly came back. Two regiments of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared on the flanks. With the support of the artillery of the Liantai Militia Regiment, they headed towards the
The 58th Infantry Regiment of the 31st Division on the right wing launched a fierce attack and even initiated a large-scale hand-to-hand combat.
Although the 31st Division was the first unit to enter Qiuyang County, it has always been dealing with the Third Army of the Yunnan Army who stood firm and refused to retreat. They believed in the supremacy of firepower and exerted the power of the God of War to the greatest extent.
Vigilante group.
On the other hand, the Eighth Route Army stationed in Gaojiazhuang, which was hundreds of miles away from them, basically didn't encounter many. After this sudden encounter, some of the 31st Division who couldn't react for a while were beaten a little crazy.
