"Baga! This is an ambush. Will he fight hand-to-hand?" Umezu Yoshijiro couldn't believe his ears. He took the telegram in Yoshimoto's hand and began to read it. The more he read, the angrier he became, "Idiot
!Baga Baga! Twenty thousand warriors of the empire! That’s it, gone?”
"We also need to count the three thousand lightly wounded soldiers brought by Yamada-kun." Yoshimoto Sadai closed his eyes and sat down weakly.
"Haga! If Shiromoto is still alive, I must send him to a military court! Yalu!" Umezu Yoshijiro is naturally angry. You know, this is definitely a good opportunity to eat up the independent division brigade! But this man,
They actually let the independent division charge into their position and engage in hand-to-hand combat!
Although the telegram described a melee weapon of the Independent Division, Umezu Yoshijiro still believed that this person had improper command! He lacked the ability to adapt to the situation, otherwise, it would not have been possible to fight like this!
"Your Excellency, Commander, it's useless to say anything now!" Yoshimoto Teiichi said helplessly, "Next, what we have to guard against is the Chinese taking Xuzhou."
"Doesn't Xuzhou still have..." Halfway through, Umezu Yoshijiro realized that there was originally a division in Xuzhou City, but he also transferred two regiments to surround the independent division's troops, "Immediately telegraph Xuzhou,
Be on guard! If the Chinese come, try to delay as much as possible and wait for tactical guidance!"
"Hi!" Yoshimoto Sada nodded, "Does that also allow the warriors who are still fighting against the Chinese to withdraw to their defense zones?"
"Yes." Umezu Yoshijiro nodded, a little weakly.
…
On the battlefield, most of the gunfire has disappeared, and the Japanese are planning to go back.
As for the Japs in the north, they are now surrounded from both sides. If they want to return to Xuzhou City, they will not be able to go back.
Soon, after a burst of fierce gunfire, the sound began to gradually disappear.
When other soldiers from the Second Preparatory Brigade came to Lei Dingtian's position, they were so shocked that they almost dropped their guns.
Corpses, corpses everywhere.
Blood, limbs, broken bones!
The ground beneath your feet can even bleed if you step on it!
"Brigade! Are you okay?" Everyone was shocked when they saw Lei Dingtian covered in blood. They were afraid that something might happen to Lei Dingtian. They prepared the second brigade, but the losses were already too great!
Lei Dingtian shook his head and said in a sad tone, "I'm fine. I'll pack up my brothers and prepare to take them home."
Everyone was silent for a while, "Yes."
Then, the other soldiers of the Second Preparatory Brigade began to identify their brothers on the battlefield where tens of thousands of corpses were scattered, and then arranged them neatly. As for the corpses of the Japanese, they could just drag them together and burn them.
Someone began to cry softly.
Slowly, many people began to cry.
Many of them have never fought such a miserable battle.
But they knew that if Lei Dingtian did not choose to do this, they would be surrounded by all the Japanese soldiers and massacred. These sacrificed soldiers were sacrificed for them.
Leng Yan also calmed down. The battle loss was almost 1 to 2. This was still a hand-to-hand battle. In terms of battle loss ratio, they had an advantage, but such a huge loss had indeed not been seen in the independent division for a long time.
.
"I will send a report to the headquarters in a moment to report the losses on our side. You, be prepared." Leng Yan patted Lei Dingtian on the shoulder.
He didn't dare to look at Lei Dingtian because even his eyes were red now.
…
"Travel seat, we have arrived in Xuzhou!"
"Okay!" Tangshan looked at Xuzhou City and knew that this was an opportunity created by Lei Dingtian for him. If he couldn't seize it, he would not need to be the brigade commander. "There are not many troops in Xuzhou City, let's attack by force!"
"yes!"
…
"Your Excellency, Captain, the Chinese actually attacked by force!"
"Baga! I'm afraid they know that there are not enough guards in the city! Yalu! In order to ambush the Chinese, most of the heavy weapons were taken away! Baga! Baga!" A Japanese colonel stood on the city wall, holding a
Looking at the binoculars, he cursed. In his heart, he kept complaining why everyone on the mountain was so impulsive? Isn't it good for everyone to be quiet and peaceful? Must there be a fight? Fighting to death? "Let the warriors stick to their positions! Everyone can
Don’t rush out!”
"Hi!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Tangshan was not polite. As soon as they came up, they directly bombarded the Japanese positions outside the city. The Japanese troops were indeed not many.
Under the cover of the artillery bombardment, his soldiers quickly moved toward the Japanese positions. He was determined on Xuzhou!
"Come on!"
"kill!"
The soldiers kept shouting, and under the cover of artillery fire, they rushed straight to the Japanese position.
There are machine gunners who are good at shooting and can directly shoot the Japanese to reduce the pressure on the brothers!
There were also those who rushed quickly and threw grenades directly into the Japanese trenches, and there were not a few such people.
Soon, the positions outside Xuzhou were captured within an hour.
"Yalu! Hold your position! Hold your position!" the Japanese colonel said angrily. In just one hour, the position is gone? Are you kidding me?
"Your Excellency, Captain! There is only one brigade of troops in the city! We can't hold it!" the Japanese Major advised, "If you don't leave, you and I will both be broken into pieces here!"
"Baga!" the Japanese colonel said sadly and angrily. In just one hour, all his hopes were shattered! Where is the promised support? Where is the tactical guidance? Why, none? "Where is the Imperial Alliance Army?"
"Hey! The Imperial Association Army? Suqian was given to the China Independent Division by the Imperial Association Army!"
"Baga! Baga! Turn in!"
"Hi!"
In desperation, the Japanese commander still chose to retreat, because if he did not retreat, their regiment would also be expelled!
…
Zhou Weiguo received the telegram from the front line at about 6 p.m.
Xuzhou was won.
But the damage in battle was huge.
Lei Dingtian's Second Reserve Brigade suffered over 10,000 casualties!
The third reserve brigade in Tangshan suffered more than 3,000 casualties!
He didn't quite understand how the casualties of more than 10,000 were achieved! The most important thing was that most of the casualties of more than 10,000 were casualties, not injuries!
After reading the telegram, Zhou Weiguo sighed. Lei Dingtian really had no choice. The Japs had surrounded them. If they didn't do this, the entire brigade would have been shot down by the Japs' machine guns. Ten thousand people would kill 20,000 Japs!
Still hand-to-hand combat!
Zhou Weiguo was heartbroken. Although the Second Reserve Brigade was a reserve brigade, in fact, except for the fact that the soldiers of the reserve brigade did not perform many guard tasks, they were not much different from the standing brigade!
Ten thousand people!
Zhou Weiguo closed his eyes, "Brother, please write an article and publish it to pay homage to the soldiers who died in this battle! Register them all as martyrs, and their due pensions will be doubled, not even a cent less.
delivered to the hands of their relatives.”
Liu Yuan nodded, "Actually, Lei Dingtian did nothing wrong."
"I know. He should break out of the encirclement eastward, because only by going eastward will there be support!" Zhou Weiguo said helplessly, "The Japanese have played tricks on us. Our independent division has recorded this account."
