    "Then shall we withdraw to Datong now to replenish our troops?" the staff officer said.

    Itagaki Seishiro nodded and said: "Yes, we need to withdraw now. There is no point in spending any more time here. Moreover, if the Ninth Division is destroyed, the enemy's troops will most likely come in our direction and attack us."

    Their fifth division is the most elite force, so Xia Yang naturally wants to eat them.

    Itagaki Seishiro also knew that if Xia Yang really came here with his troops, there was a real possibility of eating them.

    Because from more than a month of fighting, Itagaki Seishiro has fully realized the terrifying nature of this enemy.

    Under the leadership of Xia Yang, the Fourth Army possesses a variety of cross-era weapons and a large number of warriors who have been baptized by the flames of war, giving them the ability to annihilate a large number of enemies in a short period of time.

    "Inform the troops, the forward troops will retreat first, and other troops will cover the retreat in turn." Itagaki Seishiro said.

    But just as he finished speaking, a staff officer hurried in and said: "Your Excellency, the commander of the division, the enemy the enemy has begun to actively attack our forward troops. The 43rd Regiment at Siping in the field  , was the first to suffer the impact.¡±

    "What? Why so fast?" Itagaki Seishiro said in surprise.

    At this time, it was only two days since the troops of the Ninth Division were annihilated, and the leading troops led by Xia Yang had already arrived on their front.

    Such maneuvering speed surprised Itagaki Seishiro.

    "It's impossible. It's only been two days. How could it be possible to arrive so quickly?" The staff officer didn't expect it at all.

    Itagaki Seishiro looked at the map on the rock wall, and then pointed at the location where the Ninth Division was annihilated, and the distance between that location and himself.

    "It's a full thirty kilometers. If it were a plain, we could actually complete the march in one day. But this is in a mountainous area. We pushed forward with all our strength and marched more than ten kilometers in one day.

    Did they immediately start attacking the 43rd Regiment without taking any rest after annihilating the Ninth Division?

    Are all his soldiers devils?  Continuous high-intensity marching and fighting, don't you need to repair?  "Itagaki Seishiro asked, looking at the map.

    In fact, what he didn¡¯t know was that in the core area of ??the Mongolian Ancient City that they had not yet invaded, under the leadership of Xia Yang, a comprehensive transportation network had been built.

    Through these transportation networks, their marching speed is no different from that on the plains.  In one day, we arrived at the location of the Japanese 43rd Regiment and spent nearly a day repairing there.

    Dachang Siping looked at the retreating enemies with a look of exhaustion on his face.

    The attack just now was only tentative and did not pose a substantial threat to them.

    But before the enemy's charge, there was a very fierce artillery bombardment.

    That was real artillery fire support, which showed that the enemy's artillery units could already attack them.  And he changed his previous defensive strategy and started to take the initiative to attack them.

    The strength of the 43rd Regiment at this time was only over 1,800.  As a forward force, despite several replenishments, their troops still could not reach full strength.

    "What does the division commander mean?" Dachang Siping asked.

    The staff officer behind him said: "What the division commander means is that we need to withstand the attack of the enemy's main force here and cover the retreat of the main force."

    "The division commander is planning to give up on us." Dachang Siping said sadly.

    The staff officer said: "The division commander said that as long as we can block the enemy's attack for one day, it will be fine, twenty-four hours."

    Dachang Siping smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If it were an attack by other troops, it would be nothing in one day. But the enemy in front of us wiped out a division of the Ninth Division in just a few days.  .

    ¡°Do you think that more than a thousand of us can stop their offensive for a day?  "

    "We can only fight to the death!" said the staff officer.

    Dacha Siping nodded, his eyes full of determination, and said loudly: "Order the troops to split and repair the position, dig deep trenches, and cut down the trees around the position to clear the area for machine guns and mortars to fire.  "

    They have been attacking before, but now they are on defense, so the original position will naturally need to be transformed.

    ThatAlthough the Japanese soldiers were already exhausted, they immediately began to repair their positions after receiving the order.

    Three kilometers away from here, Xia Yang is using a high-powered telescope to observe the high ground occupied by the Japanese army.

    That highland is a mountain ridge, only three hundred meters wide, and the Japanese position is more than two hundred meters deep.

    His troops arrived here in the morning, and the vanguard arrived in the early morning.

    Including the troops originally staying here and the troops of the independent regiment that came with them, Xia Yang had already gathered nearly 20,000 troops in this direction.

    With a force of this size, even if it comes to a head-to-head confrontation with Itagaki Seishiro's main force, Xia Yang is sure of victory.

    What¡¯s more, at this time, Xia Yang had no intention of confronting Itagaki Seishiro head-on.

    His nearly 10,000 troops, after simple repairs, began to detour from the mountains on the flanks, intending to surround Itagaki Seishiro's fifth division in Taibai Mountain.

    Xia Yang has great ambitions. Not only does he want to eat the Ninth Division, but he also wants to eat the Fifth Division.

    The first round of the attack on the 43rd Regiment has come to an end, but the attack just now was more about testing the firepower of the Japanese 43rd Regiment's position.

    "The enemy's strength is about 2,000, but their artillery wing did not provide them with fire support just now.

    I think the main force of the Japanese army has already planned to retreat, and the artillery wing directly gave up fire support for them.  "

    Battalion Commander Chen Zishuo, who was responsible for the first round of offensive command, said.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
