Xiang Feng was very depressed when he saw that he had not yet knocked down Nabido's defense line outside.

It's already dark now. When the attack is at night, the Japanese are familiar with the trench terrain. They will definitely suffer losses when fighting. In order to reduce casualties, Xiang Feng has to order the troops to stop attacking. Once he stops attacking, the Japanese on the Naibido defense line will definitely retreat.

If they retreated directly to Yangon, it would be better. He knew that Li Qinwei would definitely block them tonight, because he was afraid that they would run away everywhere, so it would be quite difficult to chase them.

"Send telegrams to the frontline troops, and end the battle in half an hour, so that they can start preparing for defense and guarding against the Japanese troops coming to attack at night, and logistics must also deliver food to them as soon as possible. I am worried that I will fight tonight!" Xiang Feng said to a staff officer beside him.

Xiang Feng was angry at this time, and the anger was inexplicable. He thought that if the special forces were here, it would not have to fight for so long. Now the special forces soldiers had already infiltrated the Japanese. There were not many troops here, and Hu Bin did not give them the will to participate in the attack!

"Teacher, don't get angry either. I think Brother Bin must know that it is not easy for us divisions to break through the Nabido defense line and annihilate most of the Japanese. The soldiers on the front line are fighting very hard, so we shouldn't say that to them!" At this time, the political commissar of the First Armored Division came over and said to Xiang Feng.

"I know, it's not their fault, but you don't understand if you say it. I'll take back what I just said!" Xiang Feng also realized that he had just lost his composure when he heard the political commissar.

"Well, we have been fighting recently, and it may be because of a little nervous breakdown. I think the commander will definitely consider that after this battle, most of the troops will have to rest." The political commissar continued.

When Xiang Feng heard this, he threw a cigarette to the political commissar, lit one himself, stood there, looked at the stars in the sky, sighed, and said nothing.

"What's wrong? What happened? I don't know if there is something?" The political commissar asked when he saw Xiang Feng like this.

"No, no! That's right, I won't talk about it, a private matter!" Xiang Feng still didn't want to say it.

"Okay, if you have anything, come to me any time. I am much older than you and have a lot of personal matters. I still have more experience!" After hearing what he said, it was difficult for the political commissar to continue asking. Xiang Feng nodded.

"Report, Commander's Telegram, ask our department how it's attacking now. If it's not possible to take down the Nabido defense line before dark today, it doesn't matter. Don't force the Japanese and let them go. Just be careful to mobilize armored troops to chase them at night, so that our casualties can be controlled to the minimum!" A staff officer said to Xiang Feng with the telegram sent by Hu Bin.

"Tele to Brother Bin, our army fought bravely, but the enemy's defense line was very long. In order to reduce casualties, our army did not dare to advance too quickly. There are about 6 kilometers of defense lines on both sides that have not been attacked. My armored division will be dispatched at any time to chase the retreating Japanese!" Xiang Feng said to the staff officer.

"Yes!" The staff officer heard the answer and immediately turned around and left.

"Teacher Commander, I'll go ahead and see the wounded. Are you on duty here?" the political commissar asked, looking at Xiang Feng.

"Okay, wait, pinch the cigarette. Wait until you get ahead, don't smoke, it's dangerous!" Xiang Feng nodded, and immediately reminded him when he saw the political commissar holding a cigarette.

"I know!" the political commissar said with a smile.

After Xiang Feng left, he sat down and felt very boring! At this time, in the line of defense controlled by his troops in front of him, the soldiers now withdrew from the battle and began to arrange defense matters, while most of the soldiers sat on the edge of the trenches.

They had been fighting for a day and were quite tired. Now they were waiting for food to be delivered to them. However, they didn't wait long before the soldiers in the kitchen brought the food to them and distributed the food to the soldiers.

The soldiers sat on the trenches and started eating. Now everyone is used to the smell of blood on the battlefield. They can no longer care about so much, but they can't pay attention to it. For them, nothing matters, and living is the most important thing.

"Brig Commander, brigade commander, I found that someone from the Japanese left the trenches!" At this time, a battalion commander ran to the front of an infantry brigade commander and said.

"What, we started running? We just stopped?" the brigade commander asked, holding a bowl of soup, holding a steamed bun in one hand and looking at the battalion commander.

"Yes, I'm running now, but I'm running towards Nabido!" said the battalion commander.

"Come here, send a telegram to the front commander and find that the Japanese have begun to escape to Nabido. Now there are not many people!" The brigade commander heard this, thought for a while, and said to the correspondent soldier behind him.

"Yes!" The communication soldier immediately picked up the phone and contacted the command center behind him.

"Have you eaten?" the brigade commander asked the battalion commander.

"No! I'll go back to eat!" the battalion commander said with a smile.

"Just eat here, come and get some food! Let's talk to me later on, how are the morale of the soldiers now? And how are they fighting like this? If you want to tell me about the casualties of our troops, I always feel that we can't use the strength to fight along the Japanese trenches!" After the brigade commander asked the battalion commander after he ordered the guards behind.

"There is no problem with morale. Comrades all know that the Japanese cannot beat us now, and the casualties are fine, not too big. Now our firepower is strong, so there is no need to rely on the soldiers to rush over to solve the Japanese.

However, the brigade commander, even if our troops cannot spread along the trenches, they cannot exert their combat effectiveness at all. Many troops are waiting behind and taking turns to attack!" The battalion commander said.

"I know this, are there any other reasons? The trenches cannot be used, and this is one reason!" the brigade commander asked again.

"And it's right, brigade commander, I said, don't scold me. The soldiers are a little weak. The local recruits are just, hey, they are here to die. Many times, even if we can clearly kill them, they are all hitting their stomachs or thighs behind them, hoping to give them a glimmer of hope, and don't die in an unknown way.

Actually, hey, we can't explain clearly. Why are the local soldiers so stupid? The Japanese just hope that they can be cannon fodder. When they know, they will rush to us. That's asking for death!" The battalion commander reported helplessly as he looked at the brigade commander.

At this time, the brigade commander and guard came with the food. The battalion commander took it, thanked him and started eating.

"The country is gone, what's so strange about becoming cannon fodder? Don't our country also have many puppet troops? They are also cannon fodder! So, if the country is not strong, it is a nonsense. No matter how powerful it is, it is at most cannon fodder!" The brigade commander said.

"Yeah!" The battalion commander heard this, nodded in agreement.

"But you are right. If we kill this way, we can't kill it all. We have to find a way. I'll think of a way to tell the division commander and ask the division commander to send a telegram to Brother Bin. If there is a way to avoid killing, that would be the best!" the brigade commander continued.

"Well, I think so too. We can actually let those prisoners come and call, or do a good job in ideological work for him. However, we don't understand what we say here. It will take a lot of effort to communicate!" The battalion commander swallowed what was in his mouth and said to the brigade commander.

"You are right. We must use other methods to disrupt the morale of the Japanese!" The brigade commander nodded and said when he heard this.

However, at this time, after Li Qinwei arranged to look at the captured troops, he immediately took the large army to start maneuvering and penetrated behind Nabido.

Now he was going to block the retreat of the Nabido Japanese. Li Qinwei's armored troops set out first, with a small number of infantry troops, and soon arrived behind Nabido.

As soon as he arrived, he found the retreating Japanese troops. The armored division commander Lu Chunwen immediately issued an order to start the assault. The entire division's armored troops rushed towards the retreating troops of the Japanese. All the heavy machine guns were fired, and the Japanese had no place to hide.

Under the cover of the armored troops, the infantry troops quickly occupied the high ground of the Japanese retreat route, and simply repaired some fortifications there to prevent the Japanese from retreating!

The retreating Japanese soldiers suffered great casualties under the impact of tank troops, and some wanted to run, but no matter how hard they could run, they could not run away from tanks and bullets. Therefore, after the tanks were hit twice, the troops of a brigade that had just retreated were almost wiped out. Although there were still living people, those living people could only lie on the ground and did not dare to get up at all.

The Japanese in Nabido now knew that the retreat had been cut off and were very scared. Soon, the local recruits secretly left Nabido City without paying attention and ran to other places. Some Japanese officers wanted to stop them, but the local recruits also knew that there were many local soldiers and they could resist.

They didn't want to die here. As long as there were Japanese officers who dared to stop them, they would dare to kill them. Soon, a large number of local recruits left Naipido with weapons.

At this time, when the infantry behind Li Qinwei came over, they also found the local recruits who fled in scattered areas. Because they had guns, they would definitely not be allowed to leave.

Therefore, Li Qinwei ordered his team to catch the fleeing new recruits outside Naipido City. As long as they do not resist, the Chinese soldiers will not kill them. If they resist, they will definitely kill them, and there is no other way!
