Two infantry brigades that had cross-covered retreat were caught in two sides at 3 a.m., and Shigeon Yoshigu, who had retreated several kilometers away with the main force, made the biggest adventure of his life.

Chongxin Jigu personally led more than 1,300 infantrymen to return to the battlefield, intending to meet two infantry brigades that he left behind to block the enemy.

This also became the last adventure of this army colonel with a steady combat style.

If the two and a half infantry battalions of the Four-Road Regiment were exhausted in defensive battles, 3000VS3000, not to mention that it would be impossible to wipe out the Japanese army with almost the same force, and make a significant sacrifice.

But among the Japanese troops attacking Zishan, in addition to Shigeon Yoshigu's direction, he strictly abides by Okabe Saburo's military orders and evacuates in an orderly manner, the 5th Infantry Brigade has turned on the Sayazi run away mode, and unexpected changes have occurred on the 501st Infantry Regiment.

The 501st Infantry Regiment Colonel Ryoo Miyauchi is one of the few smart people in the 1st Division, and his mind is faster than anyone else.

When Saburo Okabe's military order was issued in a moment, the colonel's corps leader had already guessed that the division commander had made up his mind. Now it was not the intention of ending the Battle of Zishan with a decent impression, but how to save the main force to avoid injuring the division.

Originally, the First Division was affiliated with the Kwantung Army, and the North China Front Army only borrowed troops. Why did the First Division work for them?

So, Miyaunuchi Ryogo transferred the highest command of the front line to his corps deputy. In the afternoon, he personally led two infantry brigades, two baggage squadrons and two cavalry squadrons to escort the wounded soldiers out of the main battlefield.

The good husband in the palace had an intuition that if he walked a little later, he might not be able to leave, not because of the Four-Round in Purple Mountain.

He knew very well that the officers and soldiers of the Empire had worked extremely hard in the past eight days and suffered heavy losses. The Four Lines on the Defense Line were not cast by steel and iron. They also suffered huge losses, and their spirit and physical bodies were close to their limits. The Chinese people alone on the mountain were determined not to swallow up the more than 20,000 troops left by the Empire in this battlefield.

What Miyanuchi Ryoo was most worried about was that the 502 infantry corps team leader Hattoro 6 kilometers away was the strength of the 502 infantry corps, which was almost the same as his 501 infantry corps. However, with the strength of two chariot corps, he was killed by the 80th Army on the opposite side on the first day.

That means China is extremely strong.

There is also a seemingly reasonable but extremely unreasonable point. In the past two and a half years, the Eighty Army had never dispatched more than 10,000 main troops and Imperial Army to fight in field battles, but this time it appeared.

Could it be that the Imperial North China Front Army was too strong and the 1st Division was too weak, which led to the 80th Army's "irrational" behavior of picking persimmons and pinching them?

This situation may appear in the eyes of middle-level commanders at the infantry brigade level, but it will never appear in the heart of a division-level commander, especially an excellent commander who does not have much supplies and equipment but can persist in fighting on the battlefield for several years.

There is no mistake in judgment, there is only one possibility. The commander of the Eighty Army is sure that after his command of more than 10,000 troops under his command have the ability to fight against the 30,000 troops of the 1st Division.

For two or three days, they had been digging trenches, as if they had plans to fight for a long time in this plain. Even if they were bombarded by dozens of imperial fighter jets, they were not moved and had no intention of a quick battle.

The good husband from the Miyako intuitively determined that this elite soldier of ten thousand people must be brewing a big move!

Of course, this is not only known, Hattori Akitaro also knew, but knowing and how to deal with it are different. Since Okabe Saburo ordered the withdrawal of troops, the 1st Division has been in a passive position on the whole.

The key point is that tonight, as long as most of the main forces can be quietly removed, the 1st Division will at most be a waste of money in this battle, not a big loss.

But the smart man, the good husband in the palace, would never put his life in the hands of others, so he decisively evacuated first. Of course, before leaving, he also left enough strength for his corps deputy. The remaining 2,000 imperial infantry and an infantry regiment of security troops were enough to cope with the impact of the Chinese.

According to the battlefield observations on the 8th, Ryoo Miyaun has roughly estimated that the Chinese troops will never exceed 1,600. It is OK with solid fortification defense, but if you want to attack, you may still have insufficient troops.

Miyasune Ryomo is worthy of being a famous magician in the 1st Division. He almost predicted that 95% of the situation between China and Japan on this battlefield.

He was only wrong with that little five percent, but it was also this five percent that caused the 501st Infantry Regiment to collapse at an extremely fast speed at this evening.

If it were the good man from the Miyamen here, he would not have handed over the extremely important defense line on the flanks to the Infantry Regiment of the Public Security Army.

It’s not that he has mercy and is reluctant to leave less than 2,000 public security troops as cannon fodder, but that he has never trusted the combat effectiveness of the public security troops.

When winning a battle, these guys are somewhat useful, just like taking Dali Pills, but once the war is unfavorable, the security army is like eggplant beaten by frost, and its original combat power cannot be exerted by one-third.

In the eyes of this kind of army without faith, it is not considered an army at all. If it is allowed to maintain the public order in the occupied areas, it feels like a waste of food.

Unfortunately, the current top commander of the Japanese army in the northwest direction is no longer the old chicken thief, but the one who does not have much say in the 501 Infantry Regiment.

Huajiang Natsuki is also a veteran officer, and his military service is even longer than the good husband in the palace, but because of his family background, military relationships, personal abilities and other factors, he has always lived in the shadow of the good husband in the palace.

This guy used to be the captain of the infantry brigade. When he was promoted to the deputy of the Zhongzuo Regiment, he had no position as the captain of the infantry brigade. Usually he was a brick in the hands of the Liangfu in the palace, and he would move it there if he needed it. Even if the Liangfu in the palace wanted to protect himself this time, he could only pinch his nose and take on the hard work of the main palace rear guard.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! But for the hard-working Huajiang Xiashu, although the palace master accidentally lost his life, he had the command of 4,000 people. As long as the command is properly, he might fall into the eyes of the division commander. When the col-level officer is vacant, he will be the first to fill the pit.

To put it bluntly, there are opportunities only when there are challenges, and Huajiang Xiashu also regards this chore as an opportunity.

The Japanese Army Nakasa, who also stayed in the army for a long time, also realized the core essence of withdrawal. To make more imperial officers and soldiers survive, it is a success.

Therefore, Huajiang Xiashu re-deployed the defense line without hesitation, replacing the 2nd Infantry Battalion of the Flank on the flank defense line with two infantry battalions of the Public Security Army. After dark, about a thousand imperial officers and soldiers would quietly evacuate with their equipment. If the Chinese did not launch an attack, another infantry battalion would also evacuate. One infantry battalion of the Public Security Army was on the top of one infantry battalion of the Public Security Army. At 3 a.m., the three infantry battalions of the Public Security Army could also be ordered to evacuate.

The evacuation mode is very good, but don’t use it next time. Who else can be the one who has the greatest resentment about this plan besides Zheng Yunqiu, the new commander of the Public Security Army?

Not to mention whether the Chinese will take advantage of the opportunity of the evacuation of the army. As soon as Huajiang Xiashu's withdrawal plan came out, in the eyes of senior officers of the Public Security Army, they have been completely abandoned.

Who is Zheng Yunqiu? In order to survive, he secretly communicated with his opponent to kill all the Japanese. How could he be the fate of a small Japanese army? And it was a division borrowed from the Kwantung Army and would not stay in North China for long.

If you want me to be cannon fodder, then I might as well sell you first! Zheng Yunqiu is a ruthless man. After receiving the military order of Huajiang Xiashu, he made this ruthless decision.

This guy has a secret radio station with the intelligence department of the Fourth Army Corps. Before it was dark, the 501st Infantry Regiment plan was placed on Ye Chenghuan's desk.

"That guy Zheng Yunqiu said that the two infantry battalions of the Public Security Army planned to revolt before the war. Is it trustworthy? Could it be a fraudulent surrender?" Zhuang Shisan had deep questions about the personal loyalty of the two Japanese, a group of gangsters of the Public Security Army.

"Those guys who can even betray their ancestors for their own lives are not surprising to do anything!" Ye Chenghuan frowned slightly.

Tang Dao is not here, he is the highest commander of the Zishan War Zone, and such a big thing can only be judged by him.

If the infantry battalion of the Public Security Army surrenders is true, the third battalion can simply and neatly eat the 2,000 Japanese devils who have not had time to evacuate. For the false, the third battalion and part of the guard battalion will suffer the biggest loss since the war in Zishan started.

Even though it has been confirmed that the possibility of the puppet army surrendering is higher than 80%, this decision is still not so easy to make.

"Do you want to ask the group to make an decision before making a decision?" Zhuang Shisan suggested.

"The commander and the others should have arrived near the expected target now. The field radio station will temporarily shut down and remain silent. I can only make the decision on this matter, Chief of Staff Shangguan and brother." Ye Chenghuan shook his head, lit a cigarette and took a few sips.

"Zheng Yunqiu is the best person to save his life, and he has a small braid in our hands. He knows very well that if he plays a fraudulent surrender with us, it will be a grudge that will be a grudge. He will never have such a big grudge with us unless he has to. I think the credibility of this matter is extremely high."

"Since you have made a judgment, I will listen to you and take this rare opportunity to kill these Japanese devils." Zhuang Shi San saw Ye Chenghuan say this, and he no longer hesitated and voted in favor.

Although Tang Dao did not take charge of the command center, Tang Dao did not trust the wrong person. Ye Chenghuan, a brilliant general who was both civil and military, did not hesitate too much in such a major decision and made his own choice.

Facts proved that his choice was correct, because these two puppet army infantry battalions with a force of up to 1,300 were rebelling before the war, and more than 400 elite soldiers entered the 7th Company and the 8th Company of the Japanese flank defense line without any effort, almost reaching the rear of the Japanese front position by divine weapons descending from the sky.

The various fortifications carefully deployed by the Japanese army were all in the front of defense. Facing the machine guns, submachine gun bullets and grenades swept like heavy rain on the side and rear, there was almost no resistance.

Especially after the Chinese officers and soldiers entered the trenches, they opened the way with the Dragon Breath Shotgun and the MP38 submachine gun. The Japanese infantry holding the Type 38 rifle in the trenches resisted like a rolling soup and pouring snow. They were not one by one, but piles of corpses.

A shotgun with flames came out, and a scream would sound in the trench more than 20 meters long. This kind of firearm, named trench guns, was born for this narrow battlefield.

The steel projectiles sprayed with huge kinetic energy can even penetrate the human body and kill another person within a range of dozens of meters.

Countless flares were hit into the sky, and the pale faces of the Japanese army were all hit by the snow-clear light.

Even though the Japanese army in this unit had a strong fighting will, the tenacious will will gradually be wiped out in the face of the blood caused by such terrible guns and raindrop bullets.

Finally, in the 30th minute after the 3rd Battalion launched the attack, the Japanese army left the position regardless of concern and fled into the darkness.

As more and more people fled, like the knocked down Donomian dominoes, the Japanese army's final will to resist also dissipated.

The Four Regiment invested a total of more than 1,400 infantry and some artillery soldiers, attacking about 2,000 Japanese defense lines. From the attack to the Japanese army's collapse, it did not exceed one hour, and no heavy artillery was used.

This is definitely a miracle.

Zheng Yunqiu is definitely a capable man. He and the direct infantry battalion he led did not participate in the pre-war uprising. Instead, at the moment when the 7th and 8th companies appeared behind the battlefield, they directly led people into the command center of 800 Huajiang Xiashu Zhongzuo, and asked Huajiang Xiashu to evacuate immediately.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The tears flowed, those who didn't know thought how much this guy loved Huajiang Zhongzuo. Just when Huajiang Zhongzuo was unsure, this guy simply ran away with the Japanese army's highest commander in the northwest direction.

Perhaps it was also felt that the strong muscles on this guy's back were weak, and the infantry commander of the Public Security Army, who was concerned about the safety of the commander, put his horse on his back, and everyone ran away together.

It was precisely because of this unspeakable life-saving grace that Huajiang Zhongzuo, who escaped from the disaster, took the initiative to take responsibility for the defeat in this battle and did not blame him for the Infantry Regiment of the Public Security Army.

Just in this moment, Zheng Yunqiu changed from defecting in front of the formation to being a poor man, resulting in a mutiny in front of the two infantry battalions, and the punishment also changed from a previous death penalty to a demotion to a battalion commander.

If the Hanajiang Nakasa, who had been converted to a reserve service, knew that the nearly 2,000 officers and soldiers of the empire died because they had protected the future of the army, they would probably not have the chance to come to Zheng Yunqiu with a samurai sword and fight to the death.

After Zheng Yunqiu saved his life, he turned around and gave gifts to Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the 10th Division. The originally angry Japanese had already arrested the families of the two infantry battalions that had mutinyed before the war in Handan, and were preparing to find a day to kill them all to intimidate the security forces in various places.

Tell these Erwuzi with blood that this is the fate of the defector.

However, as the 1st Division, who was beaten with a look of peach blossoms and was embarrassed to leave North China, Duotianjun left office, and after the new commander Okamura Koji arrived in Pingbei City, few people actually asked about the life and death of these security soldiers' families.

In less than three months, he was released by the 10th Division. After all, the new commander gave up the strict policies of the previous two terms and acted the opposite way to play the routine of "China-Japan Friendship".

Killing thousands of elderly, weak women and children in one go is not right with the commander’s policy!

According to the two surrendered security battalion commanders and company commanders, this is the condition that Zheng Yunqiu promised them. If the family members are not investigated, they don’t have to be used as cannon fodder, how could they still work hard for the Japanese?

At this point, Zheng Yunqiu really didn't lie to his subordinates, and bought a total of 100,000 gold bars to buy his life.

Really, even Tang Dao knew about Zheng Yunqiu's slutty operation, he sighed and commented, "This guy is a talent, but unfortunately he is just a bit too bastard."

The Japanese army in the northwest collapsed at such a fast speed, and the consequence was that more than 1,200 Japanese infantry killed on the spot, including a Japanese army major, and more than 700 people fled to the darkness, but in the end they could survive and return to Handan City less than one-third.

Many Japanese troops were either killed by the Chinese infantry chasing, or the wrong direction was used to distinguish them, which led to their distance from Handan. In the end, they were found by the Chinese cavalry who had cleared the battlefield and killed them like hunting hares.

But this is just the first ring of damage caused by this chain reaction, and the most injured one is Chongxin Jigu's tribe.

Colonel Shigeon Yoshigu, who led his troops to fight bravely, did not expect that his left and right wing battlefields were completely destroyed. When the fierce battle was in full swing, nearly a thousand elite troops of the four teams attacked from behind his defense line.

This is equivalent to this night, the poor Colonel Chongxin Yoshigu was fighting against the main force of the Sixing Group with his own strength.

It was only when it was dawn that Colonel Chongxin Jigu, who had been fighting all night, sadly discovered that he and more than 2,000 remaining soldiers were surrounded by the Chinese side in a hill with an radius of less than 0.5 square kilometers.

Unless a miracle occurs, he will no longer be able to break through the Chinese encirclement alone.

After receiving the news, Saburo Okabe, who was already in Handan City, did not show any anger. He just leaned hard on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and two lines of clear tears fell on his cheeks, allowing Captain Shigeon Yoshigu to ask for help to fall on the ground.

At least during this day, he, the division commander, was powerless to rescue the army colonel and 2,000 imperial officers and soldiers.
