The Japanese assault troops on the front, which had been furiously fought by the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army, tore a hole in the front.
Okamura Neji looked at the charging troops who were breached in the front, and immediately said: "Front position, pay attention to firepower, the enemy is about to rush over."
"However, there are still many people in our army fighting with the enemy." A staff officer said.
Okamura Neji said very calmly: "If the enemy breaks through our frontal defense line, then those people will not be the only ones who will die."
Someone must make this kind of decision.
Okamura Neji did not hesitate at all. In order to preserve more of the main force and ensure the victory of this battle, even if he would be sent to a military court in the future, he would admit it.
Okamura Neji¡¯s order was quickly conveyed.
Before the retreating Japanese troops had time to enter their positions, the machine gun fire on their positions began to roar.
These machine guns were aimed at the Eighth Route Army and Fourth Army troops who were chasing them, but under the intensive firepower, such aiming was meaningless.
Bullets were fired indiscriminately on soldiers of the Fourth Army and Eighth Route Army, as well as on the retreating Japanese troops.
¡°You are still a ruthless little devil, and you won¡¯t let your own people go.¡± Ma Siyuan looked ahead with a sneer.
Under such intensive strafing, a large number of retreating Japanese soldiers were knocked to the ground.
But similarly, the Eighth Route Army and Fourth Army soldiers who pursued them also suffered considerable losses. This forced them to lie down on the ground and wait for fire support from the rear to arrive before continuing the charge.
The Japanese army's frontal position finally stabilized.
But the positions on both wings were not so lucky.
The positions on both wings were the first to be hit, and they were covered with fierce firepower.
Although the Japanese troops standing on both wings had tried their best to defend. However, because the position was too crude, there were no permanent defenses.
Their soldiers on the ground suffered very serious casualties in the first ten minutes of the battle.
At this time, in their positions on both wings, the remains of severed fingers that had been blown off by rocket bombs could be seen everywhere.
With the help of super fire suppression and the Japanese army's lack of preparation, the offensive troops on both wings have rushed to the top of the flank positions.
The Japanese soldiers hiding in the trench raised their heads and saw grenades thrown directly in by the soldiers.
Amid bursts of loud noises, a large number of Japanese troops were blown into pieces. Then the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and the Fourth Army jumped directly into the trench and began to occupy the Japanese positions along the trench.
The surviving Japanese soldiers in the trench roared and fought with them.
But now the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army were so powerful that they penetrated the flanking defenses like a broken bamboo.
Seeing the crisis situation on the flank, Okamura Neji realized that the situation was not good.
Relying on these simple defensive positions to withstand enemy shelling and large-scale infantry attacks at the same time is still a bit too reluctant.
"Order the troops to retreat towards Taiyuan City."
Okamura Neiji is not a stubborn person. Once he determines that the decline of the battle is irreversible, he will not let his soldiers die again.
"yes."
Those Japanese army staff officers could also see that continuing to hold on to this position at this time would only increase casualties in vain.
Their defense line has been breached and they can only choose to retreat.
Ma Siyuan and Kong Jie's soldiers encircled the remaining Japanese troops who were still holding on in the center.
The main force of the Japanese army chose to cut off the strong men's wrists and abandoned the Japanese regiment used to cover their retreat.
After three days of fighting, the more than 10,000 Japanese and puppet troops led by Okamura Neiji suffered more than 5,000 casualties.
In the end, no progress was made, and instead they were beaten back to Taiyuan City.
This is an absolute shame for Okamura Neji.
At the same time, he also realized that the enemy on the opposite side was not only formidable to Xia Yang, the other commanders were also very difficult opponents.
The Second Division and the Eighth Route Army troops pursued the fleeing Japanese troops from noon until dusk.
Their vanguard troops, evenArriving at the foot of Taiyuan City, they were defeated and retreated by the intensive firepower on top of the city.
"However, the Japanese army's attack on the Second Division and its support for Qinglong Town have completely failed.
At this time, they could only retreat into Taiyuan City and abandon all defensive points on the periphery.
In Qinglong Town, Takeda Junpei looked at the smoke filling the south, feeling extremely heavy.
He has received news that the rescue force commanded by Okamura Neiji has chosen to retreat.
They no longer have any hope of opening up the transportation line to Taiyuan City.
To put it simply, at this time Takeda Junpei and the tens of thousands of Japanese troops he led were besieged in Qinglong Town.
There is no water source here, food and ammunition will be exhausted soon.
For the Japanese troops staying here. Every day the battle ends, it means they are one step closer to hell.
Xia Yang also knew very well that as long as the defensive power of Qinglong Town was exhausted, the Japanese army might even launch a long-lived charge against them. Or bayonets with their tanks and armored vehicles.
"Takeda-kun, I hope your troops can hold on for two more days. Our troops can no longer provide support to your troops. After two days, Takeda-kun can choose an opportunity to break out. May Takeda-kun have good military fortune."
That was the telegram sent to him by Neji Okamura.
He already knew that Takeda Junpei and his troops had no chance of survival. That's why they were asked to hold on for two days.
In fact, in less than two days, Xia Yang's armored torrent was enough to eat up the Japanese troops who lacked ammunition, food, and even water.
"Call back to the general and tell him that our army will fight to the death and will not retreat. I hope the general will take care of himself. At the same time, tell my wife and children that Takeda Junpei died on the battlefield, not on the way to escape and retreat." (Remember. Website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
