Anti-Japanese War: I, Li Yunlong, a warlord in Northwest Shanxi

Chapter 146 Shinozuka: Retreat!retreat quickly!

At this time, almost the same battle situation took place between Tiedaomen and Xuanyuanmen.

Even, the tragedy of the little devils at Tiedaomen and Xuanyuanmen is even more tragic than that of Shouyimen, even worse!

There were not many little devils who came to attack Ding Wei's side of the railway gate. After a few cannons in succession, all the little devils were blown up.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie had a good understanding, and they also gave the same order. The soldiers in the two outermost defensive circles drew out half of their troops to drive out the remaining little devils!
The 358 regiment guarding Xuanyuanmen not only has the heavy artillery left by Li Yunlong, but also an artillery battalion from its own regiment headquarters.

The division that attacked Yuancheng at Xuanyuanmen was Kido Hiroki's First Class B Combat Division, and the situation was even more tragic.

"Group seat!"

Fang Ligong, the deputy chief of staff, observed the battle situation with a telescope in the command room, and said in an excited voice, "The artillery array of these little devils has been destroyed, and they were all destroyed by the big treasure that Lao Li lent us. I think we can send troops now. Catch them off guard!
"Not urgent!"

Chu Yunfei calmly said: "Up to now, the little devil has no tendency to withdraw his troops, so he must still have a certain fighting capacity."

"Pass down the order, the artillery battalion and howitzers will carry out two rounds of trapezoidal bombing, and give these little devils a thorough look!!"

"After these two rounds of bombing, it is estimated that they are just a group of remnant soldiers. At this time, we will call out half of the troops in the three outer defensive circles to completely wipe out the remaining little devils!"

Chu Yunfei is still a very calm commander, and he won't get on top easily.

"This time our main task is to defend the city, killing devils is a secondary task, we still need to reduce our casualties!"

"Yes!"

. . . . . . . . . . .

At the same time, there was a safer place on the Japanese side.

It is Yoshio Shinozuka's command post.

"General Shinozuka!"

A scout from the Japanese army, disheveled and covered in cannon fodder, ran to Shinozuka Yoshio to report the latest battle situation on the front line.

"Lieutenant General Mukai's Second Combat Division was attacked by heavy firepower from the Eighth Route Army at Shouyimen. The artillery array was blown beyond recognition, and the casualties were heavy. Now there are only about 3000 troops left. Looking at the Eighth Route Army's current appearance, it is necessary to prepare Charge!"

"idiot!"

Shinozuka Yoshio was furious: "Shouyi Gate is not the main city gate, how could there be such a fierce heavy fire weapon that can blow up an entire artillery formation!"

"General Shinozuka!!"

As soon as Shinozuka Yoshio finished speaking, another scout ran over with a limp, his voice panicked.

"It's not good! Hiroki Kido's First Combat Division was bombarded by the Eighth Route Army's heavy firepower at Xuanyuanmen in Yuancheng. Now all the artillerymen of the First Combat Division have been killed and the cannons have been damaged. The Eighth Route Army has no intention of stopping the bombing, and Lieutenant General Kido also vowed not to retreat, and now the casualties are very heavy!"

"Bag! Bag! Bag!"

Yoshio Shinozuka, who was already furious, became even more furious when he heard the second news.

The two second-tier divisions suffered heavy losses in three side-door theaters.

This is simply a great insult!

"Mukai Hirano's division and Kido Hiroki's division have already attacked to where outside the source city?"

Shinozuka Yoshio tried to calm himself and asked.

"Go back to General Shinozuka!"

"It's hard to calculate how far Lieutenant General Kido's division is from Yuancheng, because when they reached the closest distance, they were still 150 meters away from the outermost defensive circle of the Eighth Route Army."

The scout reported truthfully.

"The outermost defensive circle?" Yoshio Shinozuka frowned.

"General Shinozuka!"

"Lieutenant General Mukai's division and Lieutenant General Kido's division have progressed similarly, and they also attacked as far as 180 meters from the outermost defensive circle of the Eighth Route Army."

Another scout reported truthfully.

"The outermost defensive circle?!"

Shinozuka Yoshio roared angrily: "Most of the combat power has been wiped out, and they haven't broken through the outermost defensive circle of the Eighth Route Army?!

Yoshio Shinozuka obviously didn't know how many defensive circles the Eighth Route Army had in total, otherwise the anger value would be even higher than it is now!

"How far is the outermost defensive circle to the downstairs of Yuancheng City?!"

"Report!!!"

At this moment, before the scouts present could answer, another scout's voice came.

He looked flustered, trembling, and said in a trembling voice.

"General Shinozuka!!"

"Lieutenant General Sang Ben's Fifth Class A Combat Division was bombarded by the Eighth Route Army at the Yinghui Gate at the main gate of Yuancheng!"

"The heavy fire weapons of the Eighth Route Army of China are terrifying, including armored vehicles, tank formations, and howitzers. Their weapons are more advanced than ours, with longer range and more powerful weapons."

"We can hit their outermost defensive circle at most, and their heavy firepower weapons are all behind the outermost second defensive circle, so we can't hit them at all!"

"General Shinozuka..."

The scout looked fearful and said in a trembling voice, "Now... Lieutenant General Sangben's armored vehicles and tanks... have been blown up by the Eighth Route Army!"

"Nani?!"

"idiot!!"

"Bageya Road!!"

"How could the Eighth Route Army have such sophisticated weapons?!"

Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes were shattered, he grabbed the scout by the collar in anger and shock, and roared angrily.

"Say! Why!"

"Sangmoto-kun's combat division has the most sophisticated heavy-fire armored vehicles and tanks of the Japanese army. It has only been five minutes since the battle started. How could even the armored vehicles and tanks be blown up?!"

After the third and fourth Class C field divisions were annihilated, Yoshio Shinozuka knew about the new regiment in Gen City, which had armored vehicles and tank formations.

and so.

He dispatched the Fifth Class A Combat Division, which also had armored vehicles and tank formations, to attack the main gate of Yuancheng.

He felt that in this way, the enemy's firepower could be evenly matched, and even suppressed.

Fifth Class A Combat Division!

There are not only artillery regiments, but also a heavy-fire armored unit!

The heavy firepower weapons they are equipped with are the top Japanese weapons in their Sakura country.

How does this make Yoshio Shinozuka believe that in 5 minutes, this first-class combat division was beaten to pieces? !
"Xiao...General Shinozuka!"

Yoshio Shinozuka grabbed the scout by the collar and almost couldn't breathe.

"Yes...it's true...Lieutenant General Sang Ben's artillery regiment, armored vehicles, and tank formations were all blown up."

"Since the start of the war, Lieutenant General Sangben has not broken through the outermost defensive circle of the Eighth Route Army, but Lieutenant General Sangben has ordered that even if he dies in battle, he cannot retreat!"

The scout reported nervously.

"Nani?!"

"Sangben-jun's first-class combat division failed to break through the outermost defensive circle of the Eighth Route Army?!"

Yoshio Shinozuka frowned deeply, in disbelief.

He took a deep breath and asked solemnly.

"How many layers of a defensive circle like this are there?!"

"Back to the general!!"

The scout replied tremblingly.

"A total of 10 floors!"

"Nani?!!"

"There are 10 layers of such a heavily guarded defense circle?!"

Shinozuka Yoshio's head buzzed, his eyes went dark, as if struck by lightning.

The chest can no longer breathe, as if it is about to suffocate.

He felt unprecedented despair.

Even the outermost defensive circle has not been breached, the casualties have already exceeded half, and the heavy firepower weapons have been destroyed!

But the 10-layer defense circle of the Eighth Route Army was intact!
Yoshio Shinozuka tried his best to take a few deep breaths, propped his hands on the table, and said in a low voice.

"Pass me the order, retreat!!"
