War of Resistance

Chapter 1265 anticlimactic
"Probably that's the only way!" Zhou Fangjie said.

There is no way. Now the security forces in the ninth war zone, only the first and second regiments of the guards have strong combat effectiveness. The third regiment of the guards can only fight behind them, and has not yet formed a strong combat effectiveness. .

Seeing the troops he had worked so hard to suffer such a heavy loss, Zhou Fangjie's heart was not in ordinary pain this week.

"Commander, I also agree with Adjutant Zhou's statement. We are not fighting a decisive battle now, we are just fighting a blocking war. It may be better if the No.15 Army can participate." Li Yinglun said as The chief of the general staff, in general, is still relatively judging the situation.

"Then let's do it this way!" Zhang Tianhai nodded, then turned to Xu Xun and said, "Xiao Xu, you should carry out this task immediately."

"Yes! Commander!" Xu Xun responded.

……

About 10 minutes later, a telegram was finally presented to Guan Linzheng, Commander-in-Chief of the No.15 Army Group.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief. The theater guards have an urgent call." A combat staff officer came to report.

At this time, Guan Linzheng was sitting on an office chair and rubbing his temples. The battle on the south bank of the Xinqiang River was beyond his expectations—these Japanese troops seemed to really only come for the guards in the theater, and they really What's more, he tried his best to attack and didn't stop the pace of attack.

What made Guan Linzheng even more depressed was that Zhang Tianhai actually sent Liu Yuzhang's Eighth Regiment to Sanniang Bay in the rear instead of holding on.

"Read it!" Guan Linzheng sighed softly.

"To Chief Guan Linzheng, Commander-in-Chief of the No.15 Group Army, nearly half of the staff has been killed and injured, and it is already unsustainable. Now the Eighth Regiment of the Second Division has gone to Sanniang Bay to deploy defenses on the front line. In order to prevent our army from opening up on the south bank of the Xinqiang River , Our troops will retreat to both sides of Sanniang Bay to prevent the Japanese army from going down to Sanjiang Town. Is it correct? Please give instructions. Zhang Tianhai, the former commander-in-chief of the security forces of the Ninth War Zone, sent a report." The combat staff read.

After Guan Linzheng heard this, he frowned tightly, and he said: "This kid Zhang Tianhai is not asking for instructions. This is clearly a threat. Once they retreat, there will be a huge gap in the No. 15 Army's defense area. If the Japanese army Taking advantage of the opportunity to rush in is a great threat to our army..."

"Then... what should we do, please tell the commander-in-chief." The combat staff officer asked.

"Now and now, we can only be forced to go to Liangshan. How about this, call Zhang Tianhai and agree to their retreat. In addition, order the Second Army and the No.70 Ninth Army to move closer to each other, especially the positions of the theater guards. Hold on. They can retreat, and after retreating, we will plug the gap and see if the little devil has the courage to move on. Let's do it like this!" Guan Linzheng said.

Give this order, Guan Linzheng also knows what kind of situation will happen, his heart is like a mirror!

"Yes! Commander-in-Chief!" The combat staff officer responded.

After the combat staff officer left, Guan Linzheng tapped his index finger on the table lightly, and he muttered to himself, "I, Guan Linzheng, can only do this, little devils, it depends on whether you have the guts to come."

……

Half an hour later, Zhang Tianhai finally received a reply call from the No.15 Army.

Zhang Tianhai immediately decided to lead the troops to withdraw from the existing positions and rush to the two wings of Sanniang Bay!

……

The next morning, as in the previous two days, the Japanese army carried out heavy bombing as a routine.

However, when the advancing troops of the Japanese army entered the opponent's position, they discovered that the opponent had already withdrawn, and the entire position was empty, without a single person.

"Report to General Ushido, no enemy troops have been found in the front position, and all the enemy troops in front have been evacuated! The report is over!" A combat staff officer ran to report in front of Ushido Man.

"It seems that our enemy has lost a lot, and they retreated so hastily." Ushishima analyzed, and then he asked again: "Aside from the absence of the enemy, what other discoveries are there in the front line?" ?"

"Report to Your Excellency, our army did not find anything. Except for the bullet casings left on the ground, even the firearms were taken away." The combat staff reported truthfully.

"Nani?!" Ushidoman's eyes widened directly, because in his opinion, the enemy's behavior is simply more than a beggar... Even the guns were taken away!

"Report to Your Excellency, that is indeed the case!" The combat staff affirmed Ushijima Mitsuru's thoughts.

Shocked, but Ushijima soon realized the problem. He murmured: "We have fought to this extent, and our enemies still have such organization and strength. It can be seen that they have not lost their strength." Those who retreat due to fighting power must have a bigger conspiracy!"

In the next scene, what happened confirmed Ushijima Man's conjecture.

I saw another combat staff officer ran in front of Man Ushido and reported: "General Udo Island, according to the latest information, I found a large number of Chinese troops on both sides of the southward troop. After analysis, the department is very likely to be the Chinese army. The main force of the No.15 Army. The report is over!"

After hearing the news, Ushijima closed his eyes lightly, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "After all, our army is missing... The enemy is planning to arrange a pocket array against us..."

"Then what should we do?" Ushijima's chief of staff asked.

"Let's retreat! Bring our soldiers and retreat! Our established goal has been achieved." Mitsuru Ushishima's eyes narrowed slightly, and there seemed to be endless regret in his expression, "Call your Excellency, Commander Inaba Shiro, and tell us The situation on the front line, and told him that we have severely damaged the guards of the enemy's Ninth Theater, and they should not be able to recover in a short time."

"Hay!!" The combat staff officer in front of Ushijima responded, there must be someone to carry out this matter, and he is the most suitable one.

……

The Japanese army withdrew like this, even though they suffered such a large loss, they also retreated.

If one word had to be used to describe this battle, it would be "anticlimactic". No one expected that it would end like this.

When Zhang Tianhai, who was far away in Sanniang Bay, received the news, he almost jumped up and scolded his mother out of anger, because he miscalculated, and it was not an ordinary miscalculation.

"Old Zhang, this little devil is not a fool. Commander Ushidoman is a veteran of the Sixth Division. If he can be fooled so easily, then he is not Udoman or the Sixth Division." The backbone commander of the regiment. Besides, don't we suffer now?" Zhou Fangjie looked at Zhang Tianhai who was very angry, and said lightly.
