my bright sword career

Just when Lieutenant Kubo and Second Lieutenant Maruyama were about to die in helpless battle together, the retreat bugle finally sounded.

The two wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads at the same time, looked at each other, and quickly crawled back.

Behind them, from time to time, bullets hit the ground and made the sound of "puffing and puffing".

Senior Commander Nakamura, who was supervising the battle at the back, saw the heavy casualties of the troops, and knew that the matter was unavoidable. He didn't want to waste the small number of troops on this position. He sighed and ordered the messengers around him The soldiers blew the trumpet to withdraw the troops.

Seeing the heavy casualties and wounded soldiers going back to the rear, Nakamura Jiu's heart was bleeding.

Just now, he just gathered more than 100 cavalry in the cavalry wing. He thought that he could quickly attack the Chinese positions with the impact of the cavalry, and then the infantry quickly followed up to expand the results of the battle, but it turned out that he overestimated the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.

Although the cavalry has a strong maneuvering speed when charging, it will suffer a big loss when encountering infantry with complete positions and fierce firepower.

It is also a troop, the performance this morning is completely opposite to the performance after having a simple position.Is this the same unit that was chased away by the 108th Cavalry Regiment this morning?
"Your Majesty, we failed your expectations and failed to capture the positions of the Chinese Army. You punish us!" At this time, Lieutenant Kubo and Second Lieutenant Maruyama came to Nakamura and lowered their heads in shame.

Takesaga Nakamura sighed and stepped forward to help the two subordinates, "There is an old saying in China that goes through a slump and gain wisdom, I hope you can get some inspiration from today's lesson, so that you can be worthy of your failure today. "

"Hi! This subordinate must do his best to repay His Majesty the Emperor."

Lieutenant Kubo and Second Lieutenant Maruyama saw that the joint captain not only did not punish them, but also comforted them, they couldn't help being so moved that they almost cried, and hurried forward to express their loyalty. The art of manipulating people is more than a little bit stronger.

"Okay, let's go back first!" Takeshi Nakamura glanced at the front position, knowing in his heart that the opportunity to capture the front position had been missed. I'm afraid it's not enough to fill the entire alliance in the opposite position.

When Nakamura was about to go back, there was a faint rumbling sound from behind. Nakamura looked back and saw that the dust was flying a mile away in front of him. He didn't need to look to know that a fast troop was coming here.

"No, it's the reinforcements from the Chinese people, everyone turn in!" Nakamura shouted, and quickly ordered the soldiers to retreat to the rear starting position.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the 240th Regiment has retreated."

In a temporarily excavated headquarters, Iwai Torajiro listened to his subordinates' reports with a gloomy expression, so dark that the night sky above his head was as dark.

He never expected that the cavalry regiment was almost completely wiped out today, and the two regiments of the Liantai militia sent out to counterattack were also pushed back by the opponent, and the heavy pressure was like a mountain on his heart.

The Chief of Staff Akira Kobori on the side persuaded: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, we should report the truth to Commander Gangmura. The offensive of the Chinese people is very fierce. They even dispatched their tanks. Without air support We are hard to resist."

Iwai Tororujiro waved his hands a little irritably: "You also heard the telegram sent by the headquarters just now. The Chinese have already bombed our airport. Most of the planes that just turned over were destroyed, and even half of the surviving planes were destroyed. No, where's the air support for us?"

Akira Kobori stopped talking. Even though the senior officials of the Japanese military department were yelling about the invincible spirit of bushido every day, anyone with a little sense would understand that the reason why the Japanese army was able to occupy most of China in just a few years was far more than China's economic and industrial strength, and Bushido spirit are nothing more than deceiving the people and soldiers at the bottom.

After thinking for a while, Iwani Torujiro said decisively: "The Chinese people are covered by chariots. We can't fight them head-on. We order the troops to retreat to the north bank of the Weihe River immediately, and rely on the river bank to build fortifications."

"This one……"

Akira Kobori hesitated for a moment, "Your Excellency, Commander, why don't we ask Commander Okamura for instructions?"

"It's too late." Iwani Torujiro's attitude was very firm: "I will take responsibility for the accident and execute the order immediately. By the way, you will inform the Sixth Division, the 47th Division and the commander of Okamura separately about our decision. "

"Hi!"

Seeing that Torajiro Iwai had made up his mind, Akira Kobori stopped persuading him, and immediately assigned tasks after bowing.

After receiving the telegram from the 108th Division, Kanda Masakae, the head of the Sixth Division, was furious at first, but he soon began to think about it.

Now the Huaxia Army is on the offensive. Once the 108th Division retreats, the more than 1 Liantai militiamen on the right wing who are armed to the teeth will immediately free up their hands. If even the Liantai militia came over, the Sixth Division would really be over.

"Retreat... Immediately notify the head of the Dali Tongzhen Division, and everyone will immediately retreat to the north bank of the Weihe River."

What does it mean to be defeated like a mountain, just look at the Japanese army tonight.

Tens of thousands of Japanese troops scrambled to retreat, while tens of thousands of coalition troops chased after the Japanese troops and beat them hard.

This is a battle with more than [-] participants. If it is just in terms of the scale of the war, it may not be a big deal. Whether it is the Battle of Wuhan, the Battle of Nanjing, or the Battle of Changsha, or even the scale of the Hundred Regiments War last year. Much bigger than this.

But this battle touched the hearts of the head of the Eighth Route Army headquarters and even the head of Yan'an, because it was the first time that the Eighth Route Army had gained a battlefield advantage with inferior forces in a large-scale battle, and it was also a battle in which it could chase the Japanese army all the way.

At around six o'clock in the morning, Gao Hongming, who hadn't slept all night, was standing next to the huge sand table in the headquarters, looking motionless like a sculpture, with cigarette butts piled up on the floor under his feet.

A voice sounded from the side: "Captain Gao!"

Gao Hongming turned his head: "Oh... ah... Master Liu, Commissar Ping, you are here."

Looking at the bloodshot eyes of Gao Hongming, Political Commissar Ping said with concern: "Commander Gao, you haven't had much rest for two days, you should go back and have a good sleep. With Master Liu and I watching over here, nothing serious will happen. questionable."

Gao Hongming smiled, "What are you talking about? You two are much older than me. If you want to rest, you have to go. By the way, what are you two doing here?" While talking, Gao Hongming saw a telegram in Mr. Liu's hand.

Master Liu smiled kindly: "Okay, since you don't want to sleep yet, Xiaoping and I really have something to discuss with you."
