    Zhao Hanxing¡¯s 1st Battalion won the first battle and successfully captured the position, but the attacks of the other battalions of the 1st Rong Division and the other three honorary divisions did not go so smoothly.

    Although the firepower continuity of the Type 96 25mm caliber twin-mounted modified anti-aircraft gun is poor, its lethality is more than one level higher than the Crooked Handle and Type 92.

    If it's a crooked handle or Type 92, as long as there is more than fifteen centimeters of soil covering it, it's basically fine. But facing the Type 96 25mm caliber twin-mounted modified anti-aircraft gun, even if you hide behind a rock, you won't be able to do it.  It must be safe, so the attack of the four honorary divisions encountered great difficulties.

    To make matters worse, at around nine o'clock, a fleet of Japanese aircraft taking off from Hangzhou Yuqiao Airport and Shanghai Hongqiao Airport also buzzed towards Tongshan Town, facing the 1st Rong Division, 2nd Rong Division, and 4th Rong Division.  The 7th Honorable Division launched indiscriminate bombings. The four Honorary Divisions lacked effective air defense and could only use machine guns to shoot into the air.

    This makes the offense even worse.

    After fighting for a long time, at nearly noon, the front line had only advanced less than one kilometer.

    And the defensive circle of the Japs¡¯ 1st Cavalry Brigade is seven or eight kilometers deep!

    In other words, at this speed, it will take at least seven or eight half days to penetrate, but the problem is that the main force of the Guards Division cannot give them such a long time.

    The 4th and 9th Infantry Divisions responsible for blocking the attack could not hold off for such a long time. Even if both divisions were exhausted, they would not be able to hold off the main force of the Guards Division for more than seven days!

    When the news reached Jinhua¡¯s chief officer¡¯s department, Zhong Yi¡¯s brows furrowed.

    Only then did Zhong Yi realize that he had underestimated the strength of the Guards Division.

    Zhong Yi has always felt vaguely uneasy before, but he could never find the problem.

    Now Zhong Yi finally understands that this time he underestimated the enemy, really underestimated the enemy.

    Zhong Yi does look down on the Guards Division. In his subconscious, he thinks that the Guards Division is like the Imperial Guards in ancient China. It may be slightly better, but it is only limited. They are basically embroidered pillows.  It seems useless. One obvious fact is that the Guards Division has never fought any bad battles.

    An army that has not experienced the tempering of blood and fire will not be much stronger in combat effectiveness.

    But now, the facts have been put in front of us. The combat effectiveness of the Guards Division is indeed not exaggerated.

    In fact, this is not to blame Zhong Yi, because after all, Zhong Yi did not bring a system and did not know the composition of the officers and soldiers of the Guards Division.

    Since the formation of the Guards Division, it has indeed not fought any big or bad battles. During the Russo-Japanese War, it only served as an auxiliary, but this is not the decisive factor in determining the combat effectiveness of the Guards Division.

    The decisive factor that determines the combat effectiveness of an army is its officers and soldiers.

    The officers and soldiers of the Guards Division are precisely the elites drawn from the other sixteen permanent divisions.

    ?? How can the combat effectiveness of an army composed of elite officers and soldiers be inferior?  Impossible!

    But Zhong Yi didn¡¯t know this and thought that the soldiers of the Guards Division were all composed of children from around Tokyo.

    Yu Liangzhen said: "Zi Ren, judging from the current situation, it will be difficult to end the battle before dawn tomorrow. Otherwise, let the troops withdraw, right?"

    Yu Liangzhen meant to give up the battle in Tongshan Town.

    Hearing what Yu Liangzhen said, several senior officials immediately started making sarcastic remarks.

    "Sir Yu, I have already said that this battle cannot be fought. We cannot bear the First Cavalry Brigade."

    "Who says it isn't? The 41st Group Army's combat effectiveness is strong, but it is still far inferior to that of the Japs. Under the current situation, it is not a wise choice to go head-to-head with the Japs."

    "Hurry up and retreat. If you delay it any longer, it will really turn into uncooked rice."

    Hearing Yu Liangzhen, Peng Songling and other senior officials say this, Zhong Yi suddenly felt a slight movement in his heart.

    The cruel reality is before us. No matter Yu Liangzhen or Peng Songling, they all believe that the encirclement and annihilation war in Tongshan Town has actually failed. If it continues, it will only turn into a pot of uncooked rice!  A few of them thought so, and not surprisingly, the senior officials of the 1st Cavalry Brigade and the Guards Division must also think so.

    There may be an opportunity for counterattack hidden here?

    At that moment, Zhong Yi nodded and said, "Okay, let's retreat."

    Yu Liangzhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Ziren didn't insist on it randomly.

    Shanghai, war room of the Thirteenth Army Headquarters.

    Okamura Neiji came to the war room again, and was standing by the sand table accompanied by Usami Takashi, listening to Hinata'sBriefly introduce the latest situation of the battle in Tongshan Town.

    "As of noon, the Chinese army has advanced about one kilometer."

    "The defense of the 1st Cavalry Brigade is ten kilometers deep, so the entire defense line is basically stable."

    "However, the 1st Cavalry Brigade is accumulating strength. They are preparing to launch a counterattack before this evening. There is a high probability that they can restore the positions lost during the day."

    "Why did you choose to fight back before evening?" Okamura Neiji asked.

    "Oh, this was suggested by my humble position." Usami Takashi said hurriedly, "Because the China Army led by Zhong Yi has a characteristic, that is, it will not rest during the day and night, but will continue to attack, but in the middle of the two attacks, there will be  Even in the evening, there is about an hour's rest time, which is also the meal time of the Chinese army. Counterattacks at this time are most effective."

    "Yo Xi." Okamura Neji nodded happily and motioned for Hinata Shiaki to continue.

    Hinata Shiming paused slightly, and when he was about to continue his explanation, a staff officer hurriedly walked in.

    "Your Excellency, Commander!" the staff officer paused, "The aviation reconnaissance team reported that the Chinese Army on the outskirts of Tongshan Town is retreating!"

    "Nani?" Okamura Neiji said in shock, "The Chinese army outside Tongshan Town is retreating?"

    Usami Taka and Hyuga Shiaki also looked at each other. How is this possible?

    The battle has just begun, and Zhong Yi has already withdrawn after less than half a day of fighting?

    Although the national army¡¯s attack in Tongshan Town was not going smoothly and they only advanced less than one kilometer in half a day, when did Zhong Yi give up so easily?  This doesn't quite seem like his style.

    "Fake!" Hinata Shiming said flatly, "This must be fake."

    Usami Taka also said: "When the Chinese army is far from the end of the mountain, it is really strange to retreat at this time! Not surprisingly, this should be Zhong Yi's plan to lure the enemy!"

    Okamura Neji frowned and said, "You mean this is a ploy to lure the enemy?"

    "Hai." Hyuga Shiaki said decisively, "The China Army lacks heavy weapons to attack fortresses, and the 1st Cavalry Brigade has built fortifications in Tongshan Town, so the situation has become a stalemate, but once the 1st Cavalry Brigade leaves Tongshan  We went to pursue the town¡¯s fortifications, and the situation immediately evolved from an attack by the Chinese Army to an encounter between the two armies!¡±

    After a pause, Hyuga Shiaki continued: "That would be troublesome." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
