Seeing the soldiers of the Independent Division retreating, the Japanese troops shouted and rushed forward as if on stimulants. To them, it was obvious that the soldiers of the Independent Division retreated because they could no longer withstand their attack!
It's clear that they will soon capture the independent division's position!
"Kill me!"
Japanese soldiers continued to rush towards the position.
Soldiers from the Independent Division continued to retreat in a "panic" manner.
There was chaos on the battlefield.
From a distance, it can be seen that the Japanese army rushed into the position of the Independent Division, while the soldiers of the Independent Division retreated desperately.
Soon, someone went to report the war on the front line.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the Chinese have retreated again!" The person who reported the report was excited in his tone. At this moment, he also wished he could go up and kill them.
"Nani? Really?" The Japanese lieutenant general didn't quite believe it. When did the independent division's combat strength become so small? When did they achieve this level in front of the independent division?
However, no matter what, this is a good thing!
"Hey! I feel that the Chinese people must have no intention of fighting anymore! The imperial army has been besieging them for several days, but their senior officials still haven't thought of an effective way! The Chinese people must be very scared!"
"Yo Xi! That makes sense!" The Japanese lieutenant general nodded, feeling that this reason was very tenable. "Send the order and the whole army will launch an attack! Tonight, maybe we can fight all the way to Jinan!"
"Hi!"
So, soon, the Japanese division began to mobilize its entire army and headed towards the Caoxian position!
Next to him, another Japanese lieutenant general was sitting on a chair, watching the movements of this group of people, tilting his head, and then picked up the binoculars to look at the situation in front, "Here comes someone."
"Hi!"
"Order, the whole army attacks! Go in through the gap that has been opened!"
"Your Excellency, Division Commander? That is..."
"That's right, our division didn't capture it first, but since they have opened a gap, wouldn't it be better for us to follow and attack from the side?"
"Hi!"
"At the same time, tell the headquarters about the battle situation on the front line."
"Hi!"
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, do you really want to rush in after them?" A major general came over and asked.
The lieutenant general nodded, "We have been fighting for so many days, but the Chinese guards have always been very tight. I don't know what luck Watanabe had, but he actually broke through two positions in a row."
The major general frowned, thoughtfully.
"Since he has broken through, we should naturally follow him. This is Cao County and Shan County. As long as we pass through this area, we can go directly to Jining. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Hey! As long as Jining is captured, then the battle against the independent division is equivalent to occupying a stronghold. At the same time, cooperating with attacks from all parties, we should be able to capture the independent division soon."
"Well! We can't let that guy Watanabe take all the credit!"
"Hi!"
So, soon, countless Japanese troops here also began to pack up their things and prepare to attack in the direction of the lost position of Morita and others.
Originally, their two divisions were responsible for the attack in this direction, and the two of them also slightly agreed on the direction of the attack.
After several days, they did not capture any positions, but suffered a lot of casualties. Even so, the losses suffered by the independent division on the opposite side were not small. In terms of battle losses, they should be basically the same.
However, they also have a very important advantage, that is, they all have decision-makers, and in the independent division, there are not many people who can make decisions. Perhaps, the remaining brigade commanders and so on are already fighting among themselves.
What about the command authority of the independent division?
Now, since Watanabe's division had already broken through the opponent's position, he naturally did not need to wait any longer. He had to take action when it was time to take action.
After so many days, I'm afraid the independent division's military morale has been lost.
…
"Report!"
"Come in!"
"Yes! Brigade, the Japs have already passed through the second position! The Japs division on the left is also ready to move!"
"Okay, let the 3rd regiment prepare to let go! Let the Japanese in! Then close the door and beat the dogs!"
"yes!"
"How about it, am I right?" Long Zhi chuckled, "Next, as long as all the Japs enter the circle, I will lead people to cover their escape route!"
"That's good!" Morita nodded, "But are you sure you can do it as a brigade?"
"Don't worry, I will let them see if the cannons of my independent division are powerful? Are the soldiers of my independent division brave in battle?" Long Zhi smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Since the prey has taken the bait, we must
Ready to capture!"
"Yes." Morita also nodded. Next, whether it is Ryuji or he, there will be a tough battle to fight! Although they have brought in the Japanese, the two divisions are indeed a little reluctant! At this time, they will
We must first break the spirit of the Japanese.
…
On the afternoon of May 19, the Independent Division lost 5 positions in a row!
Two Japanese divisions pursued for dozens of miles!
"Kill him!" The Japanese soldiers were also chasing after them. They didn't expect that the soldiers of the Independent Division could run so well. They actually ran one way and another, and they were very angry!
However, fortunately, there should be no more positions in front, otherwise, the soldiers of the Independent Division would have continued to retreat into their positions!
"Squad leader, do we still have to retreat?"
"Yes! You still have to retreat!"
"Retreat to where?"
"We have to let all the Japs leave our position, right? Otherwise, if the Japs enter our position, is it okay?" The squad leader chuckled and breathed heavily. Even though they train every day, now there are dozens of them coming every day.
They were exhausted from the long journey, but fortunately they were just bait. In front of them, there were already soldiers sharpening their swords, waiting for the group of little devils behind them!
"That's true!" The little soldier nodded and glanced back. He didn't see clearly how many Japs there were. He only knew that they were all densely packed with Japs. At this time, if a few shots were fired, the Japs might not be able to survive and walk around.
However, this is something that the people above should consider. After all, when can we truly counterattack!
…
"Hurry up!"
"Faster!"
"Hurry up!"
"Traveler, all the Japs have entered the encirclement!"
"Okay! You and the 2nd Regiment, block the enemy's escape route together!" Long Zhi ordered.
"yes!"
"The Third Regiment and the Fourth Regiment are ready on the left, and the Fifth Regiment and the Sixth Regiment are also ready! All we have to do is wait for the order to be given!" Long Zhi narrowed his eyes and looked at the densely packed Japs ahead.
At this time, are the Japanese looking for death? In order to chase those soldiers, they actually sent two divisions in!
Long Zhi didn't dare to think about it. In fact, sometimes, the independent division's psychological control over the Japanese was too accurate!
…
"Kill me!" the Japanese continued to pursue.
But suddenly, they discovered that the person in front stopped running.
Moreover, there were actually many more people in front!
