War of Resistance

Chapter 1254 Fighting the New Wall River ([-])
Indeed, for Zhang Tianhai, it was already a point of no return - if he retreated on the front line at this time, it was very likely that the Japanese army would fight all the way to Sanjiang Town. By then, he would be in a difficult situation.

Losing ground is a big problem.

As the sky gradually darkened little by little, Zhang Tianhai finally breathed a sigh of relief: at least his troops didn't lose their positions on the first day.

Sure enough, the Japanese army retreated after dark.

……

"Come on, go with me to the front line to see the situation, let other troops follow, clean the battlefield when it's time to clean up the battlefield, don't let go of the little devil's weapons and equipment, and take away what should be touched. Also, call the special agent company , let them monitor the movement of the Japanese army." Zhang Tianhai said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Xu Xun beside him silently wrote down Zhang Tianhai's words.

It wasn't until Zhang Tianhai walked to the front line that he realized that the land had been stained red with blood, and even the land could turn a bright red color with a light flip.

"Once you succeed, all your bones will wither..." Zhang Tianhai sighed softly.

At this moment, Lu Shaojie limped over and reported to Zhang Tianhai: "Reporting to the regiment, our battalion was fortunate enough to stick to the front line. Now 330 and six of our battalion were killed and 210 were seriously injured. Those who are slightly injured and unable to participate in the battle, there are still 36 people who can fight!"

Hearing Lu Shaojie's report, Zhang Tianhai's heart trembled. As far as the number of casualties is concerned, it is definitely not a trivial matter, especially the casualty ratio has reached an astonishing 90.00% five!

Distressed but distressed, but Zhang Tianhai didn't show it. He just nodded slightly and said, "Okay, very good. That's it! Tell these brothers to take a good rest and wait for them to take care of the next battalion!"

"Thank you!!" Lu Shaojie stood at attention and saluted. Under the faint light of the fire, his face blackened by gunpowder smoke was full of determination.

In this battle, the first regiment and one battalion of the security guard became famous in one battle!
It was from this battle that the battalion gained a nickname: "Beast Camp"!
Beast camp, as the name suggests, is a battalion-level force composed of ferocious men like wild beasts. They have the will to fight like steel, and they also have the fighting spirit like wild beasts!
The final results of the battle were counted, and the three battalion-level units participating in the battle suffered heavy losses to varying degrees: the worst was the First Battalion of the First Guard Regiment, with more than 570 casualties; followed by the Guard Battalion, with casualties as high as There were more than 390 people; the lightest was the First Battalion of the Second Guard Regiment, with only more than [-] casualties.

Looking at this shocking result, Zhang Tianhai sighed softly: he had expected this result, but when the result was presented to him, he still couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic.

Behind these numbers, there are fresh human lives!
For Zhang Tianhai, this result had been expected long ago, but the casualties were also beyond his expectation. At this rate, the guards would not be able to hold on for another three days—more than half of the casualties, this is absolutely It's going to hurt your vitality, and the ones who go up are mainly elite troops, let alone these recruits.

How long the recruit army can last is definitely unknown.

Therefore, Zhang Tianhai began to hesitate, whether he should let go of the front line and let the Japanese army come in first, and as long as they come in, give them a ruthless blow.

……

When Zhang Tianhai was distressed about the loss of his troops, Niu Daoman was also worried-was it right for him to choose such a hard bone to chew on?In one day, half of the alliance was lost, which was more than 900 casualties.

"Zhang Tianhai is worthy of being a strong man in the Chinese army. No wonder he was able to lead the troops to make our 'Imperial Tiger' General Seishiro Itagaki suffer a great loss. The entire brigade was destroyed by people like Zhang Tianhai and Zhang Zizhong. In his hands, it seems that it is not a vain reputation to be able to reach this level..." Ushijima looked at the battle report in front of him, and sighed sincerely.

As the commander of the southward column, Niu Daoman must be in command of the whole process, so he is very clear about the strength of the group on the opposite side.

"Your Excellency, if we change our opponents, we must have won their first-line positions long ago, but we have lost so much, and we just almost captured their first-line positions. Should we continue to attack? According to the humble position In the Chinese army, there will be no more than one slap in the face of such a combat force. If we continue to attack, we should be able to disable this army, so that they will not be able to fight in the next battle." A man beside Ushidoman The middle-ranking officer said that this was a middle-level officer whom Ushidoman valued very much, and he had always looked at the latter as a "brain tank".

Ushijima nodded and said: "What you said is not unreasonable. According to our reliable information, the force of this unit has exceeded 3000, and the number of troops capable of fighting should be around [-]. Our attack today should cause them to lose It's quite heavy. After all, we can feel that what we are encountering is the elite among them, if it is not the elite, they will definitely not be able to stop our army's attack in this way."

"What does your Excellency General mean, do we want to continue fighting them?" the lieutenant asked.

"Please ask your Excellency, the commander of the division first! After all, such a huge battle plan, I don't seem to feel sorry if I don't tell him." Ushishima Mitsuru made a decision. Although this decision was not so wise, it was still important for his follow-up operations. is absolutely beneficial.

"Hay!" The lieutenant commander responded.

……

Soon, a telegram was sent from Yuankou Town to Yueyang.

The content of this telegram can be said to be very detailed. It tried its best to analyze the situation of the two sides, and analyzed the failure of the frontline troops in combat.

If you have to translate it into a simple sentence, it is: "It's not our army, it's the enemy army that is too strong. Boss, should we eradicate them? After all, they are also the elite of the enemy army, and we will destroy them." , we will not be afraid."

Well, yes, when Admiral Shiro Inaba received this telegram, he translated it in the same way.

Sitting on his office chair, Lieutenant General Inaba Shiro let out a long sigh: "This Chinese army is indeed a serious problem for my current army... If it can be severely damaged in this battle, it will be a big problem. It's also a good choice...”

"Your Excellency, Commander, then, shall we implement this plan?" asked the chief of staff next to him.
