This battle lasted until the sun rose high the next day, when the sound of gunfire on the battlefield slowly died down and became sparse.

Basically, except for the surrendered puppet troops, the remaining less than two squadrons of Japanese soldiers all went to hell.

As for the original artillery squadron and tank squadron, they were all destroyed when the shooting began.

"report!"

"speak!"

"Squadron, the enemy is basically finished. We have captured about 3,000 fake ghost prisoners. What do you two think we should do about this?"

"Interrogate them separately. If they are guilty of the most heinous crimes, execute them all. If they are innocent, recruit them directly. We have suffered too much loss this time."

Jiang Xiong passed the order on immediately without waiting for Zhou Bingyi to speak.

"Okay, don't be petty. I came here to support you this time, so I didn't plan to bring anything back. Everything is yours, okay?"

Zhou Bingyi also smiled and said loudly to the messenger: "Clear the remaining enemies immediately. At the same time, separate the troops and disguise them as Japanese soldiers and puppet troops to capture several counties close to our territory. After looting the supplies, evacuate immediately."

"Yes!"

"By the way, Lao Jiang, what about you?"

"I need to rest for half a day before taking action again. We also need to capture a county town and replenish supplies. This battle has made me penniless."

"Fine!"

There were more than 10,000 people, and no one knew how many were left. Jiang Xiong had no idea.

Compared with the battlefield in Lianyungang, the battlefield in Xuzhou was also quite difficult, but with the support of the 14th Squadron, the basic situation has not been lost.

But the losses were still considerable, and although he had the support of the 14th Squadron, he still withdrew carefully and entered the Anzheng territory directly.

The Nanjing Squadron also continued to retreat westwards. There was no other way. Although the basic base was there, the Japanese encirclement and suppression was too fierce, and the losses were even greater.

The other squadrons were not much luckier either. The whole of Jiangsu was in complete chaos with wars everywhere. Otherwise, how could the female barracks at the training base possibly encounter a squad of Japanese soldiers or a Japanese squadron to encircle and suppress them in the Shanghai area?

……

Zhang Tianhao was sitting on the balcony in Shanghai. There was a radio on the table. It was turned on and bursts of electric sound could be heard from it.

At his side, he had a miniature radio station that was receiving telegrams from various places. At night, if he had time, he would receive news from various squadrons.

Although he had never sent it out, he knew that the Japanese army's encirclement and suppression this time could be said to have cost a lot of money, and the losses on all sides were still quite huge.

The losses were extremely huge. Not only the battle in the Su-Zhong area had not yet ended, the battle on the New Fourth Army's side was even more difficult, and Zhang Tianhao's four squadrons were basically also involved in the battle.

After all, the Japanese mobilized a full division and five puppet army divisions, with a total number of more than 7 people, even reaching an exaggerated level of .

As for the New Fourth Army, after fighting a battle in the first half of the year and developing for half a year, it barely reached 20,000 people. If it were not for the support of Zhang Tianhao's four squadrons with more than 30,000 people, they might have collapsed long ago.

Even so, the losses were considerable, and Zhang Tianhao's four squadrons had lost more than half of their men, especially Liu Yue's second squadron, which originally had more than 3,000 men, half of whom were female soldiers. After some development, it was only more than 6,000 men, a loss of more than half.

Zhang Tianhao sat on the balcony, thinking about the situation in the Suzhong region. It was obviously impossible to engage in a head-on battle with the Japanese, so he sighed deeply.

He looked at the radio, then tuned it directly to a channel and sent a telegram to Shi Zhan's 6th Squadron (Yancheng Squadron).

"Notify all parties to withdraw from the battlefield!"

With just eight words, which took less than half a minute, Zhang Tianhao turned off the radio. After all, Kanako on the opposite side was keeping a close eye on him. Moreover, the ten Japanese radio and direction-finding vehicles often circled in this area. If he stayed on this for too long, he would probably be discovered.

After all, he had done what he could. He really could not win the Battle of Suzhong. There were nearly 80,000 enemies, and God knew how so many puppet troops appeared. It was really terrible.

The telegram was sent out, and his meaning was quite clear. He asked Shi Zhan to inform the New Fourth Army and the other three squadrons to prepare to retreat. If they did not retreat, they might be completely eaten up by the Japanese.

All together, there are less than 60,000 people, and now there are less than 30,000 people. It is not even clear whether there are 25,000 or not.

……

"Report, Captain, the young master has an urgent message, order: notify all parties to withdraw from the battlefield!"

The radio operator handed the telegram to Shi Zhan, then turned around and prepared to leave.

"Notify Commander Chen, Captain Luo, Captain Liu and others, and tell them that we are preparing to withdraw from the battlefield. This is the young master's order. Forward the young master's message."

"Yes!"

The radio operator took Shi Zhan's hand, turned around and left the meeting room, then ran aside to send a telegram.

"Alas, we are really exhausted after fighting till now. If we continue to fight like this, our losses will be too great."

He also shook his head and finally started to hold a meeting to discuss the retreat.

……

Inside the New Fourth Army headquarters, Commander Chen frowned as he looked at the telegram that had just been forwarded to him.

After all, at this point, he knew that if they continued fighting, they would not be able to bear it. They had nearly 20,000 people, but now there were less than 8,000 people, and the losses of the other four armies were no less than theirs.

"Chief of Staff, four squadrons are preparing to withdraw. What do you think we should do?"

"Let's retreat too. If we had taken it seriously from the beginning, we wouldn't have been so frustrated. Alas!"

"Who knows how the Japanese mobilized so many troops, 100,000 people. Damn, who knows where the Japanese mobilized 100,000 people from. And it seems that there are far more than 100,000 people. There are at least nearly 100,000 puppet troops alone."

"Yes, it's more than we thought. After fighting for about a month, the four squadrons are almost exhausted. We really can't afford to fight."

"Okay, our problem now is how to withdraw, not anything else."

"How about we hold a meeting and then notify them to retreat together?"

"it is good!"

……

As the order was given, Zhang Tianhao half-lay there, his eyes becoming much deeper. After all, he had done everything he could up to now.

Next, he will devote all his energy to manufacturing a batch of radios and walkie-talkies. Of course, these are all for combat needs, otherwise he will not use them easily.

Looking at the one hundred miniature radios and one hundred and fifty walkie-talkies that had been made in the space, they were still too large compared to those in later generations.

"Find a time to arrange for personnel to be sent out. A squadron has ten miniature radios and ten intercoms. Unless it is during a battle, they may not be used."

The main reason is the lack of materials, otherwise, he could definitely assemble more radio stations here.

"Master, Master!"

At this moment, he heard Tian Xiaotian's voice coming from upstairs, and she was walking towards his balcony. Obviously, the movement here by Zhang Tianhao just now still attracted Tian Xiaotian's attention.

"Master, the radio is out of tune, try another one!"

"You girl!"

Zhang Tianhao didn't understand what was going on, so he laughed and cursed. (End of this chapter)
