As the gunfire from the artillery brigade gradually stopped, Suzuki Mitsuchi's face became more and more dejected.
What the brigade chief of staff held in his hand was the final farewell message sent by Shinichi Kihara three minutes ago, which proved that half of the 8th Artillery Regiment of the division had been wiped out.
The annihilation of two artillery brigades was not enough to collapse Suzuki Mitsutsu. What frightened him was what the commander of the Chinese army wanted to do next.
As the battle progressed step by step, Suzuki Mitsuchi's clues about the Chinese commander he had never met became clearer and clearer. His intention was to swallow up the entire 4th Brigade.
That's right, without the artillery support of the two artillery brigades, his 4th Brigade was a lone army. The Chinese army could carry out siege unscrupulously, and use their previously poorly hidden small artillery to attack the position without any scruples.
But, are they so confident that they can capture the last position of our 4th Brigade before the main force of the division arrives for reinforcements? Suzuki Mitumi simply does not believe that the Chinese army can break through its 2,000-man defensive position in just a few hours. If possible,
Maybe this is his chance to turn defeat into victory, and hold back the enemy's main force until reinforcements arrive, where he can annihilate them all.
Thinking of this, Suzuki Mitumi tried hard to hide the dejection on his face and ordered sternly: "Mr. Gu, please go down and order the soldiers from all departments to dig deeper anti-cannon holes in order to prevent the Chinese army from shelling."
No matter how much Suzuki Mitsuchi cheered himself up, Suzuki Mitsuchi himself did not realize that since the artillery brigade was destroyed, he never mentioned the Chinese again, but replaced it with China.
Human dignity is always earned by oneself, and the same is true for countries and nations.
A weak country has no diplomacy.
"Commander Liu, Tang Yongming, deputy of the 288th Regiment of the 29th Army's reorganized 2nd Division, is reporting to you." Tang Yongming led his three battalion commanders and excitedly found the man wearing a military coat who was squatting on the ground drawing boring circles.
Liu Lang.
A lieutenant colonel and three majors all held their heads high and gave military salutes.
If they had doubts about Liu Lang, a young colonel in his early 20s, before, after this battle, his brilliant record of annihilating 2,000 Japanese troops in a critical battle had to make people convinced.
You must know that the nearly 60,000-strong 29th Army fought for several days due to the natural terrain and natural terrain, before killing and injuring thousands of Japanese soldiers. They only had more than 3,000 people, and the battle was completed in one battle, and they were all wiped out without a single Japanese enemy.
Run away.
Looking at the whole country, no one else has such a record!
Of course, this is because Tang Yongming didn't know that the Independent Regiment had completely broken the backbone of the 4th Brigade and killed more than 4,000 Japanese soldiers in the previous battle. Otherwise, they would have been more disciplined than they are now.
"Oh! Old Tang! Come, come, take a seat. You fought well in this battle. How are the casualties?" Liu Lang waved his hand in a half-hearted manner and asked Tang Yongming to sit down in front of him.
After the First World War, everyone was busy. He, the leader of the regiment, suddenly had no time to do anything. His subordinates used various methods to dissuade him from going to the battlefield again. Naturally, he felt a little resentful.
Is this a kind of hypocrisy? Anyway, Gou Defu, the cook squad leader of Xinke who was temporarily acting as a group security guard not far from Liu Lang, couldn't help but curled his lips.
This expression is wrong! Did the Independent Regiment suffer too many casualties? Tang Yongming couldn't help but be stunned.
Also, that officer doesn't feel sorry for his soldiers? If it were him, he would probably cry if the casualties were too high. Tang Yongming, who understood the wrong meaning, quickly and cautiously replied: "The casualties are not bad, the total of the three battalions is
76 people were injured and 28 were killed in action, but brothers are loyal to the country and seek kindness in return. Knowing that we have achieved such a glorious record, I will be smiling when I think about it."
The total number of casualties was only a hundred people, but what they got in exchange was the achievement of annihilating 2,000 Japanese. Even if this number was increased ten to twenty times, it would definitely be a good deal. If it weren't for the desolate look on Lang Tuan's face, the always gentle Tang Tuan
Vice Neng smiled so hard that he showed his little tongue.
"Well, yes, the brothers in the 29th Army are all good." A smile finally broke out on Liu Lang's face.
"Captain Liu, are you thinking about how to fight the little Japs over there? Please rest assured, our members of the 288th Regiment and the 289th Regiment are willing to attach themselves to Jiwei." Tang Yongming looked at Liu Lang's drawing on the ground that he could not understand.
Lines, can't help but express their opinions.
Is this a statement? Liu Lang looked at Tang Yongming, whose eyes were already glowing green, with a half-smile.
Tang Yongming was a little embarrassed, but thinking about the military merit he was about to receive, Tang Yongming still did not hide the burning light in his eyes.
I can't blame Tang Yongming for being so fierce and urgent. After this battle, his energy and energy were revived. If the 4th Brigade is wiped out again, my God, just think about the result of this battle, let Tang Yongming...
The lieutenant colonel's regimental deputy was so enthusiastic that he personally carried the pistol and went to the battlefield. He was willing to do so.
"Haha, no rush, no rush, Deputy Tang, what do you think Suzuki Mitsuchi will do next?" Liu Lang smiled slightly and asked instead of answering directly.
"If I were Suzuki Mitsuchi, I would immediately choose to retreat. Even if I know that Captain Liu will definitely have backup plans waiting for you, I must retreat. Otherwise, the entire army will be annihilated." Tang Yongming replied with a firm expression.
"Oh? Why are you so sure?" Liu Lang's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but pay attention to the lieutenant colonel deputy in front of him.
"Hey, because I just saw the firepower of the Independent Regiment. To be honest, it's the only one I, Mr. Tang, have seen in my life. Even the little devil who is known as the number one in Asia is far behind. What's more, Commander Liu, you are here to fight.
I'm afraid this artillery brigade is not just for solving worries! Those cannons of the Japs are indeed very eye-catching." Tang Yongming said with a confident smile.
This guy is a talent! Liu Lang's liking for Tang Yongming skyrocketed.
Even though the battle had reached this point, Liu Lang's ambitions were already evident. Even a leading soldier of the independent regiment knew that Commander Liu wanted to eat a fat man in one bite, but he could analyze Liu Lang's tactical intentions so thoroughly.
Yes, Tang Yongming is still the first.
"Haha, what Deputy Tang Tuan said is right. It's a pity that Suzuki Mitsuchi doesn't have the same vision as you. Judging from the fact that he is still busy digging holes, I'm afraid he is still holding us back until the main force of the 8th Division arrives and kills us in one fell swoop.
What about the idea of catching them all in one fell swoop?" Liu Lang laughed.
"However, do you know the back-up I left behind, that is to say, is that the army I ambush at Sanchakou?" Liu Lang continued to ask with a smile.
"I really can't guess that." Tang Yongming said with a wry smile.
Logically speaking, with Luo Wenyu's three regiments and all the national troops in Rehe having withdrawn their defenses along the Great Wall, he really couldn't think of which troops Liu Lang could still mobilize to stop the remnants of the 4th Brigade.
You know, those are thousands of little devils!
Looking at Liu Lang's smiling expression, an idea flashed in Tang Yongming's mind, and then he was completely stunned as if he had been struck by lightning.
If it was really what he imagined, not only Liu Lang was crazy, but his usually stable regimental commander must also be crazy.
If you are not a madman, how could you do such a crazy thing?
Looking back at the dark pass in the distance, Tang Yongming's lips were a little dry, "It can't be..."
"Hey, if Suzuki Mitsuchi knew that there were no more than 200 people defending the ten-mile defense zone of Luo Wenyu Pass in front of him, would he still dig holes there?" Liu Lang chuckled.
Damn it, I will be scared to death, Suzuki Mitsuru will probably be angry to death, and Tang Yongming will sweat all over his forehead.
