    These Japanese soldiers had even passed through the barbed wire fence and planned to launch further attacks on the battlefield, but they were killed by falling shells on the way to the charge.

    Minamino Tsuji and Edogawa Junpei, who were still chatting and laughing just now, were stunned when they saw the sudden violent explosion in front of them.  The smile on his face seemed to be suddenly frozen, frozen there.

    In front of them, dozens of 155-caliber artillery shells exploded simultaneously, and the deafening explosion almost tore their eardrums.  In the explosion, countless Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces, with no bones left.

    The soldiers of the cavalry regiment, who were still struggling to hold on, saw the explosion ahead and hid in foxholes and trenches.

    Although the explosion distance of these artillery shells has been calculated in advance by the artillery regiment before bombardment, to minimize the impact on friendly forces.

    But those flying shrapnel are all blind. Some of the shrapnel can even fly hundreds of meters and still have lethality.

    As for those Japanese soldiers who had nowhere to hide, they could only lie on the ground in despair and adopt the most standard anti-shelling posture.

    But no matter what, their struggle seems to be very futile.  Under the absolute power of large-caliber artillery shells, all they did was just a desperate struggle.

    Except for those Japanese soldiers close to the position, all the Japanese charging troops in the rear were destroyed by the dense explosion of artillery shells.

    Those Japanese troops immediately began to retreat.

    But the artillery shells did not stop landing. The second round of bombardment, the third round of bombardment, and the fourth round of bombardment followed.

    Thousands of artillery shells were poured on the heads of the Japanese troops.  Let their soldiers be massacred.

    Those Japanese support troops on the periphery were okay. They were bombarded by artillery shells, and they could retreat outside to avoid the bombardment.  The Japanese cavalry regiments that were besieged in the center had nowhere to hide.

    No matter how they ran, they could only stay in this encirclement, and then they were knocked upside down by the falling shells.

    Nagakawa Shin was relatively lucky. Hiding in the trench, listening to the roar of artillery fire outside, he felt that his ears were almost torn apart by sound waves.

    He realized that the enemy was much more powerful than they imagined.  At least for this kind of large-scale heavy artillery bombardment, even the Imperial Japanese Army rarely mobilized so many heavy artillery at one time.

    When he thought of this, he felt cold sweat breaking out.

    Because the enemy surrounding themselves this time is basically a huge trap.  Attract the main forces of the two brigades here, and then annihilate them directly in the wild.

    As for why this is done, it is easy to guess.

    With the two brigades destroyed or suffering heavy losses, the enemy can move south and attack Hohhot directly.  At this time in Hohhot, the remaining troops were absolutely unable to cope with such an attack.

    On the periphery of the front line, Edogawa Junpei and Minamino Junpei both issued orders to temporarily retreat the troops charging forward.

    In fact, even without their orders, the Japanese troops began to retreat.  Because of the enemy's artillery bombardment, they could not survive on the front line.

    At this moment, a cavalryman rushed over on horseback and said loudly: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, our army found a large number of tanks and armored vehicles on the periphery, as well as a large number of trucks and motorcycles. The number is terrifying, and they are approaching  Coming towards us!!"

    Hearing this, the two people¡¯s already ugly expressions lost all color at this time.

    "What did you say? Tanks? And armored vehicles? What are the origins of these damn enemies?" Edogawa Junpei asked in disbelief.

    The cavalryman said: "Yes, there are at least hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles. And there are also a large number of infantry approaching us."

    Hearing this, Minamino Tsurugi immediately took out the map and shouted: "Where is the location of the enemy tank troops? Mark it immediately!!"

    The cavalryman stretched out his hand, pointed at two areas and said: "Enemy armored forces were found in these two areas."

    The location he pointed to was right on the road to Hohhot in front of them.

    Simply put, the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles have cut off their retreat.  If they want to return to Hohhot, they can only break through the enemy's siege or choose to retreat in other directions."Order the troops to retreat immediately!! At the same time, send a telegram to the Chief of Staff, telling him that the enemy's armored forces are coming and asking him to break out quickly. We can't take care of him anymore." Edogawa Junpei said very decisively.

    Minamino Jiichi grabbed Edogawa Junpei and said, "Are we going to retreat like this?"

    Edogawa Junpei opened his eyes wide and said: "Minano-kun, you don't need to think about it now, you know that this is a trap set by the enemy for us.

    What's more, we have always been within the range of the enemy's artillery fire, plus the enemy's cavalry and armored forces. You tell me, besides retreating while the enemy has not completely cut off our retreat, what else is better?  choice?  "

    Hearing these words, Nanno Ciji also realized that it was really impossible for them to defeat this enemy.

    He was just a little unwilling, out of the honor of an imperial soldier.  But Edogawa Junpei is much more pragmatic. If he doesn't retreat now, he will most likely be annihilated by the enemy here.

    There is no need to hesitate over there. The so-called glory can only be enjoyed by the living.

    And what worries him the most is actually Hohhot in the south.  Because the enemy attracted them, the ultimate goal must be Hohhot. It would be easy to annihilate all the defensive forces there in the wilderness, and then attack Hohhot.

    By then, the entire Chahar area may turn into a ball of mud.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
