Chapter 140: It's time to retreat
However, Izumi Nakamura could not worry so much at this time. The division commander and division command were defeated by the Chinese army. He, the garrison leader, must be responsible for apologizing, and the final result would be a sperm. So instead of being ordered to sperm, it would be better to die in battle. In this way, he became a loyal minister who was loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.
"Kill Gaga, rush up, kill, shoot... shoot..." Nakamura Izumi, who made up her mind, completely ignored the lives of her subordinates, and kept waving her command knife to order a charge.
Under the powerful firepower of the guard company, the Japanese soldiers were hit one by one by one, and they fell to the ground with a scream.[]
Suddenly, a sharp-eyed Japanese soldier was frightened to find a bloody head hanging on the roof of the division command. He immediately said tremblingly: "That's...that's the division commander..."
The other Japanese soldiers around him heard the sound and looked up at the roof, and they surely saw Sadao Nakajima's bloody head.
Sadao Nakajima's tragic situation did not arouse the anger of the Japanese, but instead completely eliminated their last bit of courage to fight. The division commander was dead. Is it still necessary to fight this battle?
In addition, the Chinese army in front was so powerful that it was just a death sentence when they rushed forward.
The Japanese soldiers who had no fighting spirit began to turn around and flee, one after another, followed by ten or dozens. Soon the Japanese's escape caused a chain reaction.
Hundreds of Japanese devils turned around and ran away, and no matter how Nakamura Izumi scolded him, it was useless.
The angry Izumi Nakamura drew out his command knife and slashed several escaped subordinates in a row, but still could not stop the other soldiers from fleeing.
At this moment, Qiao Anbang seized the opportunity and led the guard company to launch a counter-charge towards the Nakamura Brigade. More than 300 guard company soldiers immediately roared and jumped out of the bunker, holding steel guns to chase the fleeing Japanese soldiers.
"Dadada..." Hundreds of Garland's semi-automatic rifles and Thomson's submachine guns fired one after another, and the Japanese soldiers who were desperately fleeing were knocked to the ground in pieces.
Nakamura Izumi, who was desperately trying to prevent his subordinates from evacuating, was the first to be killed and was hit by a sieve of bullets like a heavy rain.
The remaining Japanese soldiers were only concerned about escaping and had no power to resist. Except for a few fast-running escapes, the rest were all wiped out by the guard company.
After the eliminated Japanese garrison brigade, Qiao Anbang no longer defended the Japanese headquarters, but led his troops to attack the Japanese positions outside the city to cooperate with the main forces outside the city to attack the Japanese.
"Kill, rush!" The shouts of killing outside Huzhou City were shaking the earth. Since the main forces of the Japanese were deployed in the front and the rear were very empty, Qiao Anbang led the guard company to easily attack the joint command of the Japanese 56th Regiment and the 55th Regiment.
After the melee, the two wing captains of the 55.56th Regiment of the Japanese and most of the combat staff were wiped out by the Huber Brigade Guard Company, and only a few officers who commanded the operations at the forefront escaped.
After losing effective unified command, the defense lines of the units under the 55th and 56th Regiments were quickly broken by the Huben Brigade one by one, and thousands of Japanese soldiers fell into a situation of fighting on their own. At this point, there was no suspense in this battle.
About two hours later, at noon, the battle outside Huzhou City finally came to an end. The two main infantry corps of the 18th Division, from the corps captain and ordinary soldiers, were all wiped out by the Hu Ben Brigade in one fell swoop, Piaotian Sixue.com.
................
Hangzhou, the headquarters of the Central Chinese Front of the Japanese Army.
Although the Hu Ben Brigade had already rushed to Huzhou, the cautious Heisuke Yanagawa still followed the advice of Chief of Staff Moetake Tanabe and hurriedly mobilized the Japanese and puppet troops around Hangzhou to rush to Hangzhou to strengthen Hangzhou's garrison force to make a decision.
Yanagawa Heisuke had just answered the phone and learned that the troops had arrived. He was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Chief of Staff Tanabe Morito walked in with a heavy face.
Seeing Tanabe Moribu's expression solemn, Yanagawa Heisuke's heart couldn't help but become nervous again, and he took the lead in asking: "Tanbe, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
"General, I just received a farewell message from the First Infantry Brigade of the 56th Regiment of the 18th Division. Huzhou was lost, and the 18th Division headquarters and the 55 and 56th Infantry Corps under its jurisdiction were wiped out." Tanabe Masamu replied in a heavy tone.
"What?" Yanagawa Heisuke was shocked and said in disbelief: "Tanai Jun, what are you talking about?"
"General, Huzhou is lost, the 18th Division is completely destroyed, the division commander Lieutenant General Sayuki Nakajima, Chief of Staff Colonel Kotomi, and thousands of Imperial Army warriors are all broken!" Tanabe Moribu replied with some grief. At this moment, Tanabe Moribu could not understand why half of the division's troops were defeated by the Huben Brigade within this period, and the entire army from the division commander to the privates was wiped out.
Yanagawa Heisuke couldn't speak for a long time. Finally, he sat on the chair behind him like a deflated ball, thinking in his heart, "It's over, it's over, this plan to encircle and annihilate the Hu Ben Brigade is about to be ruined."
................
In Huzhou County, the Huben Brigade had no time to clean the battlefield, so he hurriedly set out again.
In the battle of Huzhou, the Huben Brigade fought happily. If it weren't for time, Qiao Anbang really wanted to lead the troops to turn around and kill Hangzhou, because through the radio station Qiao Anbang had already learned that the Japanese Central China Front Command was dispatching troops everywhere to defend Hangzhou.
If the Huben Brigade attacks Hangzhou, it might be able to capture it, but by then, the Huben Brigade will probably be surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops.
Therefore, Qiao Anbang chose to evacuate. Before the Japanese army had caught up, he immediately evacuated, then crossed the Yangtze River north and finally returned to the Zhiheji base.
................
Nanjing, the entire city of Nanjing has been in full swing, and hundreds of thousands of people have evacuated their families, but fortunately, there were no Japanese troops outside the city, and there were no enemy planes and ships in the sky or on the river to bomb and harass them.
Under the strict order of Bai Chongxi, the commander-in-chief of the evacuation operation, all troops strictly abide by the orders of the people first and for women, girls and children to cross the river first, so the evacuation operation went very smoothly.
In the combat hall of the former Presidential Palace in Nanjing City, Bai Chongxi stood in front of the giant map hanging on the wall with his hands on his back, frowned and stared at him for a long time.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps behind him. Bai Chongxi turned slightly and saw Chen Cheng strode in.
"Brother Bai, the evacuation operation is very smooth. The people have already evacuated two-thirds. Can we order some ships to transport troops across the river?" Chen Cheng asked.
"No, if there are fewer ships and not enough, it is likely that the troops will rush to retreat. If there are too many, it will delay the people's evacuation. So wait a little longer. When all the people are withdrawing, it will not be too late to let the troops retreat."
"Well, okay." Chen Cheng opened his mouth and thought about what he was saying, but he couldn't say it in the end. After all, the commander-in-chief of this evacuation operation was Bai Chongxi, and the decision was in the hands of Bai Chongxi. Bai Chongxi did not nod and he was not inconvenient to say anything more.
ps: During the transition of the plot, I will update today. I will think about it and take a break. I will plan the next plot. The foundation of the empire will start from the next article. It involves too many and broad. I was thinking about it today, so my mind is full of chaos. Don’t worry. After I finalize the general framework and some main plots of the next article, the update speed will naturally come up soon. I will definitely pay back what I owe you. Please forgive me...
