The person who issued the order was a Japanese army captain. More than half of his troops had suffered casualties and were no longer able to continue the attack, so they could only issue an order to retreat.
And for this order, he did not ask his division commander for instructions. Because he knew in his heart that Mukaizuo would not agree to his troops withdrawing from the battlefield.
The attacking troops of a regiment here began to retreat, and the other Japanese infantry, which had been suppressed by the dense firepower network, began to retreat without waiting for orders from their commanders.
??????????????????? The law does not punish the public, even if it needs to be dealt with at that time, it will be dealt with by the regiment commander who first issued the order to retreat. It will not affect other commanders and soldiers.
With someone taking the blame, these Japanese soldiers, who were already on the verge of collapse, immediately began to imitate the soldiers of that regiment and began to retreat backwards.
Mukai Zuo, who was directing the battle from the rear, saw his soldiers actually starting to retreat in a large area from the front, and he suddenly became furious. He shouted loudly and asked: "Who, who gave the retreat order? How dare you cross me and let the troops retreat."
At this time, a staff officer said: "It's Captain Mitsui, he was the first to give the retreat order."
Hearing this, Mukai Zuo immediately said: "Order the soldiers to return to the battlefield and continue the charge. At the same time, let Mitsui come to see me, and I will send him to a military court."
But at this time, Konishi Mir¨ stretched out his hand, grabbed Mukai Sa, and then leaned next to him and reminded him in a low voice: "The troops have suffered too many casualties. If we retreat, just retreat. Now someone will take the blame for us."
Mukaizuo naturally understood what Konishi Mirou meant at this time. In fact, he also wanted to issue an order to retreat. Because in just over an hour of attack, their troops had already suffered more than 2,000 casualties.
Such a possible death rate would make even Mukai Zuo feel very uncomfortable. What's more, even after paying such terrible casualties, their troops have not made any offensive progress. They just piled the corpses of their soldiers closer to the enemy's position.
At this time, Captain Mitsui issued the order to retreat. Sasu Mukai was very angry on the surface, but it was just as Mirou Konishi said. Now that someone is taking the blame, he just needs to go along with the flow.
As for the next attack, at least other alliances need to be rotated before they can continue. If the two regiments attack just now, the soldiers under their command will probably collapse emotionally, and the consequences will be even more serious.
"Order the other two regiments to prepare for battle. Mitsui Squadron and Sakata Battalion retreat to repair." Mukaizuo gave such an order helplessly.
The Japanese cavalry regiment on the flank began to retreat when they saw the troops on the front. They have no reason to continue attacking. Or to be more precise, it's no longer an attack, but a loss of life.
For more than ten minutes, their cavalry was unable to penetrate the dense firepower network and enter the enemy's position. On the contrary, the heavy machine gun bullets fired at the enemy cost the lives of hundreds of cavalrymen.
These cavalry are very fast when attacking, and even more so when retreating. In just over ten seconds, these cavalrymen turned their horses and retreated directly to the rear.
Seeing the Japanese troops retreating like a tide, the infantry commander Zhao Dongxing finally breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "Pull the wounded down, and the troops will repair their positions and wait for the next wave of enemy attacks."
The Japanese army suffered heavy casualties, including the casualties of the cavalry regiment, totaling more than 2,500 casualties. In addition, nearly a hundred tanks and armored vehicles were turned into piles of burning scrap metal under the attack of the infantry regiment with rich anti-tank means.
Zhao Dongxing¡¯s infantry regiment also suffered a lot of casualties. The number of people killed alone reached more than 300, and there were more than 500 injured. The casualty ratio was close to one-third.
There are Soviet soldiers here, and many are soldiers of the Kagor Combat Brigade.
The casualties here were not caused by the Japanese infantry. Most of them were killed or injured while responding to the impact of Japanese tanks and armored vehicles. The artillery and heavy machine guns of those tanks and armored vehicles all caused a lot of casualties to the troops.
Zhao Dongxing reported the situation on his side to Xia Yang.
But Xia Yang was still under fire, and the battle seemed to have no intention of stopping.
And the Japanese attack on the side also began to slowly stop. However, the Japanese army continued the frontal attack.
On the frontal battlefield, the Japanese army¡¯s advanceThe attack became more violent.
They concentrated the remaining mortars and artillery, as well as armored vehicles and tanks, and launched a wave-like attack on the frontal battlefield positions.
The frenzy of attacks was like waves crashing on the shore, one after another, not giving Xia Yang and his troops any chance to breathe.
Xia Yang could clearly see that on the smoke-filled battlefield, members of the medical team were carrying stretchers, carrying the seriously wounded out of the trenches one after another. There were also many soldiers with minor injuries who were simply bandaged and then continued to participate in the battle.
He even saw a machine gunner whose arm was directly knocked off by a Japanese heavy machine gun bullet. He controlled the machine gun with one hand and fired at the charging Japanese troops.
The Japanese side was even more brutal. They had to endure the strafing and bombardment of fighter jets and bombers overhead, as well as the heavy artillery bombardment of two artillery regiments, as well as a dense firepower network composed of countless heavy machine guns and peaceful artillery, to attack Xia Yang's troops stationed there. Position charge.
Under such a fierce fire attack, one can imagine how much offensive pressure these Japanese troops were under. In just over an hour, almost one of their regiments died on the way to the charge. There are other losses such as armored units and artillery units, which cannot be counted for a while. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
