    Chapter 57: Temporary Truce (new book, please watch)

    After receiving the telegram from the front-line troops, Colonel Yide, the deputy commander of the headquarters, was stunned. He really did not expect that a Chinese army that appeared out of nowhere would be so powerful. It could directly fight against his two infantry brigades and still have the upper hand.  .

    At this time, he had realized that the force in front of him was definitely not something that their 55th Regiment could handle, but at the same time, he also strengthened his guess that this force must have come from Jiaxing City, Staff Sgt.  Your Majesty should be in their hands.

    Originally, he was prepared to take the credit for himself, but now it seems that the possibility is not high. In desperation, the deputy colonel decided to report the situation and let the division and regiment headquarters decide how to deal with the matter.

    But no matter what, as long as it can be proven that this force is indeed the mysterious force that attacked Jiaxing City, the division headquarters will not order him to commit suicide. After all, if he is allowed to commit suicide because of this, the Chief of Staff will be captured.  I don¡¯t know how many people will lose their heads!

    The news was reported step by step, and soon reached the hands of Lieutenant General Ushijima Sadao, the commander of the 18th Division.

    After reading the telegram sent by Deputy Ide, Ushijima Sadao was immediately shocked!

    He knew what happened in Jiaxing City. The Legion Headquarters was almost in a quarrel about it. Jiaxing City was captured by mysterious troops overnight, and the entire defenders were wiped out. Even Chief of Staff Moritake Tanabe was missing.  Uncertain.

    The higher-ups are still trying their best to cover up this matter. After all, the life and death of a major general chief of staff will greatly affect the combat mood of the front-line troops.

    If what Colonel Noda said is true, then this matter must be reported to the Corps Headquarters immediately.

    Ushijima Sadao did not dare to neglect and immediately asked the radio operator to report the information to the Tenth Army Headquarters.

    It is said that Yanagawa Heisuke is very worried about this matter at this time. Although he has ordered to block the news, this kind of thing can only be concealed for a while. How can it be concealed for a lifetime? If Tanabe Moritake's body can be found,  They could find a reason to give him a spectacular death.

    But it's a pity that Tanabe Moritake is neither alive nor dead. Without knowing whether Tanabe Moritake is alive or dead, they can't do anything. Otherwise, they will easily become the laughing stock of the entire imperial army.  .

    After reading the telegram from the 18th Division, Yanagawa Heisuke immediately ordered the cavalry regiment that was investigating the situation in Jiaxing City to rush to the front line of Huzhou to attack this hateful Chinese army with Wu Xingcheng's troops.

    ¡° Li Guoyao, who didn¡¯t know that the danger was approaching, was still commanding the battle on the front line. Seeing the silly little devils charging at the defenders¡¯ positions, Li Guoyao felt happy.

    He took the time to look at the system points just now. It has now increased to more than 8,200 points. Not only has the 500 points that were consumed been replenished, but more than 1,000 points have been added. This shows that they have eliminated all the points during this period.  The number of little devils reached four to five hundred.

    There were only four to five hundred Japs left at the foot of the mountain, but they still had no intention of retreating. However, the second line of defense was also destroyed by the Japs. The first squadron of the defenders also suffered heavy casualties, with only more than two hundred people left.  There were less than a hundred men left, and together with the machine gun squadron and artillery squadron that coordinated the defense, Li Guoyao's casualties in the front-line positions were at least 150.

    In view of this, Li Guoyao decided to abandon the second line of defense and withdraw collectively to the third line of defense.  If the third line of defense cannot be held, Li Guoyao will take his troops and evacuate Huzhou.  Anyway, I don¡¯t have a particularly clear mission when I go to Huzhou this time, so I¡¯ll just take whatever step I can help with.

    After repelling the Japs¡¯ attack again, Li Guoyao and others evacuated their positions. Due to the smoke and dust on the battlefield, the Japs did not notice anything unusual.

    A few minutes later, the disgraced Japs launched another attack. Only a few hundred remaining Japs were seen carefully walking through the smoke-filled battlefield toward the defenders' positions!

    "Eighty meters"

    "Fifty meters"

    "Thirty meters"

    With only thirty meters left, Major Noda ordered the troops to speed up immediately and rushed towards the defenders' position.

    Soon, Major Noda finally set foot on the defender's position. However, they were surprised to find that the defender's position was completely deserted. Except for the bullet casings on the ground, not even a single body was left for them.  .

    Seeing the rising sun flag of the Empire of Japan finally planted on the army's position, Major Noda breathed a long sigh of relief. It has been two and a half hours since the battle started. Major Noda has experienced all the battles.  Afterwards, to be honest, he thoughtThe soldiers under his command were tenacious and showed the courage of the Japanese warriors to the fullest.

    However, the performance of the defenders was beyond his expectation. With the assistance of tanks and aircraft, his troops barely managed to capture the enemy's position at a heavy cost of three-quarters. This result made Major Noda  Shocked.

    "Reporting to the commander, the man escaped north. Will our department pursue him?"

    "Order the troops to pursue immediately. The man who supports him has lost his fighting spirit. We rush forward immediately and entangle the man who supports him. We must not let them escape!" Major Noda ordered.

    "Hai!"

    The third line of defense was less than a kilometer away from the second line of defense. When the Japanese army caught up, Li Guoyao had already entered the third line of defense and was ready.

    The little devil charged more quickly. Although he saw Li Guoyao's position, he didn't take it to heart. He still charged forward quickly, as if he wanted to rush to the defender's position in one go.

    Seeing this lightness, Zhang Tengjiao smiled coldly and said: "Get ready to fight!"

    "Crash"

    Following Li Guoyao's order, dozens of light and heavy machine guns were loaded with ammunition and ready to fire at any time.

    "Fire!"

    When the vanguard of the Japs entered the effective range of the machine gun, Li Guoyao gave the order to fire.

    After these few days of combat and training, everyone has become accustomed to this fighting mode, so everyone is calm and not panicked at all.  Especially the machine gunner's fingers did not tremble at all when he pulled the trigger and pressed the button.

    "Da da da"

    "Da da da"

    Dozens of tongues of fire opened fire at the same time, and the puppet troops suddenly fell on their backs. The Japanese soldiers who rushed at the front suffered heavy casualties, and the momentum of the remaining Japanese soldiers weakened.

    In just three minutes, the vanguard of the Japs lost dozens of people, and the rest were frightened and retreated beyond the effective range of the defenders.

    Major Noda did not expect that this Chinese army would be so tenacious. It could move into a reserve position so quickly after being defeated. It was really difficult to deal with.  Looking at the soldiers around him, they all had panic on their faces, as if they were frightened out of their wits.

    Coupled with the current serious shortage of troops, Major Noda had to order the troops to temporarily stop the attack and wait for reinforcements.

    Li Guoyao and others did not take the initiative to attack, mainly because they considered that after leaving the defense fortifications, the casualties of the troops would be relatively large. With their current strength, they simply could not withstand too many casualties.

    Both sides soon fell into a rare calm. Both the Japanese army and Li Guoyao's troops were like two wounded beasts. After the battle, they all hid in the dark and licked their wounds.

    Move to Yanshan. Temporary command post.

    "Detachment leader, the little devils have withdrawn!"

    "The bully has finally withdrawn. Let's count the casualties of the troops immediately!" Li Guoyao said with a sigh of relief.

    Although they have been at the upper hand for the past half day, the Japs' attacks were so crazy that they organized 13 attacks in three hours. If the troops' firepower had not been strong enough, they might not have been able to persist until now.

    "yes"

    Soon, Chief of Staff Ma Desheng came in and said: "Detachment leader, the casualties have been counted. The first squadron has 112 casualties, the second squadron has 16 casualties, the machine gun squadron and artillery squadron have 97 casualties, and the other squadrons have not suffered much casualties.  However, the total casualties of our unit in this battle have reached 257, including 181 killed and 76 wounded."

    Hearing that a squadron of troops had been lost in just three hours, everyone was silent, including Li Guoyao!

    We all know that people die in war, and we have seen the collective sacrifices of battalions and regiments on the Songhu battlefield, but when it was their turn, they still couldn't hide the sadness in their hearts.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
