Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

After Zhou Wang saluted, he was about to leave with the briefcase given by the battalion commander.

Wang Yaowu called Xiang Yu!
"Xiang Yu, the latest order is that your troops are preparing to retreat, and the artillery regiment will provide fire cover for your battalion."

Xiang Yu was a little confused when he received the call. Just now he asked to evacuate, and the division commander scolded him and asked him to hold his position.

If you dare to evacuate, you will be shot. Less than 10 minutes later, the division commander personally called and asked you to evacuate.

Although Xiang Yu had some doubts in his heart, it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders!
"Yes!" Xiang Yu responded loudly, "Commander, our battalion will withdraw immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Xiang Yu glanced at everyone, "Retreat!"

"The division commander personally gave us the order. Our battalion will evacuate the position immediately. The artillery regiment will provide fire support later."

"Brothers, take away everything you can. If you can't take it away, leave it for me on the battlefield. Make a late-night snack for the little devils and entertain them, so as not to make the Japanese army laugh at us, the Central Army, who don't know how to treat guests."

As Xiang Yu's order was issued, the soldiers of the Central Army quickly took action!
At this time, soldiers from the two brigades of the Japanese army, under the cover of artillery fire, continued to charge towards Yuying's position.

This position was the breakthrough point personally selected by the Japanese brigade commander, San Yuan Dashan!

"Give it to the monkey!!——"

One of the Japanese captains, Hashimoto Jiro, waved the command sword in his hand and directed the Japanese troops to charge.

From the previous attack, Hashimoto Jiro already knew that the Central Army troops on the opposite side now had very few troops.

Once his brigade conquers this commanding height, the supreme honor will belong to him, and his military career will advance further.

You know, not long ago, the joint captain summoned several brigade captains and revealed the news that the joint captain was going to be transferred from the Shanyuan Dashan Brigade and go to serve as the brigade leader of a newly formed brigade.

Once the captain leaves, the position of captain of the 234th Infantry Regiment will come from the three captains. Therefore, Hashimoto Jiro is attacking so hard now.

He also wants to be promoted to the position of captain as soon as possible. He has been the captain for almost five years!

Five years... five whole years. Do you know how I got here in these five years? !
"Give it to the monkey!!"

Thinking that the six-year period was coming to an end, Hashimoto Jiro felt full of energy and directed the troops to attack harder.

However, at this moment, there was a sharp sound of airflow in the sky! !

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Countless artillery shells, like meteors, hit the charging Japanese troops.

"Heavy artillery..."

"This is the heavy artillery unit of the Central Army... evade quickly..."

Jiro Hashimoto shouted, he first found a shell crater and squatted in it.

"Boom!——"

Explosions began to ring out on the hillside, huge shock waves, and the light of flames that exploded, like a volcano erupting.

Shanyuan Dashan Tour Group!

When Brigade Commander Shan Yuandashan saw his troops, who were about to break through the enemy's commanding heights, they were hit by fierce artillery fire from the Central Army troops, and his face suddenly darkened.

"Bageya Road!!"

"Order the artillery units to counterattack as soon as possible and destroy the artillery positions of the Central Army."

Although the Sanmoto Tatsuyama Brigade lost an artillery regiment, Commander Okamura Neiji attached great importance to this rescue operation.

His brigade is an enhanced division, and it now has artillery units, including heavy artillery!

The Japanese artillery unit began to calculate the location of the Central Army's artillery positions based on the impact points and ballistic trajectories of the Central Army's artillery.

By the time the kid figured it out, Ning Dabiao had already let the car drag the artillery away!
Even the little Japanese's artillery shells didn't hit the heavy artillery unit!
On heights 780 and 781, the Japanese artillery units began a new round of bombing, this time!

Shan Yuandashan asked for 10 minutes of frying first!
After the sound of artillery stopped, the Japanese troops began to charge on the two highlands. This time, Jiro Hashimoto led the team and acted as the vanguard!

Jiro Hashimoto, an old Japanese soldier, was very lucky. During the previous bombardment, this old Japanese soldier was lucky enough to survive.

On the two highlands, only the death squads of the Central Army and a group of wounded soldiers were left. They were now trying to buy time for the evacuation of the large forces.

In order to cover the evacuation of the large force, there were about a thousand troops left behind. Among these more than a thousand people, Wang Yaowu and others gave many good weapons.

Weapons such as M2 and MG42 general machine guns, submachine guns, etc. were all left to stop the Japanese army.

With the firepower output of these powerful weapons, the Japanese army did not notice that the main forces of the Central Army troops on the two highlands had withdrawn.

The blocking battle lasted for an hour. Under the cover of artillery, the Japanese army used 150mm heavy artillery, 105mm howitzers, and 75mm mountain field artillery to carpet bomb the Central Army on the two highlands.The top of the mountain was knocked down two meters by the cannonballs, and many trenches were collapsed by the bombs!

Hashimoto Jiro heard the Central Army's gunshots becoming increasingly sparse on the high ground. He knew that the time had come for his brigade to make a contribution.

"Monkey give..."

"Warriors of the Empire, the time has come to sacrifice their lives for His Majesty the Emperor. Warriors, charge for the sake of the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor..."

Led by the captain, Hashimoto's brigade launched a pig-like charge on Highland 780.

After rushing to the high ground, Jiro Hashimoto was about to shout when suddenly a violent explosion sounded, and he flew backwards like a kite with its string broken.

On the high ground, the booby traps laid by the Central Army troops went off. Many Japanese soldiers rushed to the high ground and touched the booby traps, triggering a chain reaction.

A lot of explosives had been planted on the previous position. The Japanese troops of this group rushed up and more than 100 people were killed in the explosion. The captain of the group was seriously injured.

However, after the remaining Japanese troops rushed to the high ground, they did not charge blindly. Instead, they asked the engineers to investigate first to see if there were any booby traps.

During this investigation, the Japanese army wasted an hour on the high ground.

For Shan Yuandashan, he was relieved to have captured these two important highlands. His brigade could finally move closer to the Sixth Division.

Just 10 minutes ago, the Central China Front Army Commander Hata Shunroku and the 11th Army Commander Okamura Neiji had given him an ultimatum, that is, the Central Army position must be captured within an hour.

We must meet up with the Sixth Division within two hours!
Regarding the Central Army's initiative to abandon these two highlands, Shan Yuandashan believed that this must be the result of the bloody battle of his brigade. The Central Army suffered heavy casualties. Facing the attack of the Imperial Army, the other side had to take the initiative to retreat.

After all, Shan Yuandashan's own troops suffered casualties in two brigades, and the Central Army's troops should have suffered more casualties.

According to the combat strength comparison given by my classmates before, the Central Army troops should not be able to hold on!
Therefore, Shan Yuandashan was confident that his brigade would join the Sixth Division in an hour, thus becoming the sharp knife of the 11th Army and penetrating into the heart of the Ninth Theater.

at this time!
Headquarters of the Sixth Division!
Inaba Shiro received a message from Sanmoto Tatsuyama. His brigade was approaching the airport and they would meet in about an hour.

"Yo Xi!"

A smile appeared on Inaba Shiro's lips. His Sixth Division was finally no longer afraid and was in danger of being attacked by the Sichuan army.

"Teacher commander!"

"Division Head... Division Head..."

Shiro Inaba's personal adjutant, Ichiro Watanabe, quickly ran to the headquarters.

"Watanabe, you are so panicked...what's going on?!"

"Division Commander, we received reports from soldiers at the front line that the Chinese troops seem to be retreating. The generals at the front asked if they would send imperial warriors to pursue them?"

"Division Commander, I am afraid that this is a ploy by China to lure the enemy. I have ordered the imperial warriors in front not to pursue without authorization and to hold their ground."

Since Ichiro Watanabe came to the Sixth Division, he has carefully studied the Sichuan Army's combat plan several times.

What the Sichuan Army likes most is to lure the enemy. They use explosives and mines to ambush the imperial pursuit troops halfway, and then concentrate their superior forces to encircle and annihilate them.

When Inaba Shiro heard his personal adjutant say this, he waved his hands slightly: "No, no, no..."

"Watanabe... the Chinese troops really evacuated!"

"This is a message sent to me by the commander of Shan Yuandashan's brigade. His brigade has successfully defeated the blocking Central Army and is now moving closer to us."

"Order the troops to pursue me across the board and bite the Sichuan army. I will hit them hard."

Without Sanmoto Tatsuyama's message, Inaba Shiro was also worried that this was a ploy by the Sichuan Army to lure the enemy.

After all, he had learned about these tricks played by the Sichuan Army before, but now that the Shan Yuandashan Brigade was about to get closer, he believed that the Sichuan Army was afraid of being made dumplings by the imperial army and came to a central place to bloom.

Now we have taken the initiative to evacuate the battlefield and leave the war zone as soon as possible!
Shan Yuandashan's brigade is an enhanced division, plus the Sixth Division under his command. If the Chinese army wants to encircle and annihilate the two divisions, it will have to use at least 10,000+ troops.

Shiro Inaba was still very confident in the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army. Therefore, he concluded that the Sichuan Army must have received the news that the Central Army's interception failed, and now it took the initiative to withdraw its troops to avoid being bitten by the Imperial Army.

A cold light flashed in Inaba Shiro's eyes. His Sixth Division is like a tiger. He touched the tiger's butt. Your Sichuan Army wants to leave like this now. How is it impossible?

As the saying goes, a tiger's butt cannot be touched, but his Sixth Division is much more powerful than a tiger!
"Adjutant, order the frontline troops to let go of my pursuit. Don't be afraid of disrupting the organization. As long as we can bite the Sichuan army."

"I want to encircle and annihilate this notorious Sichuan Army unit!"

"Hi!" Ichiro Watanabe nodded heavily.

The Sichuan Army repeatedly surrounded and annihilated Japanese troops, which also led to the common people in the Japanese army thinking that the Sichuan Army was full of "crimes" and scolding them a lot. (End of chapter)
