Chapter 1431

When Ouyang Yun returned to the headquarters, it was already past one o'clock in the morning.At this time, Menqueri finally couldn't hold on anymore.The quality of the individual soldiers of the 52th Division is actually not bad, and the weapons are not weaker than those of the other divisions. However, the Jewish cadets are completely unable to adapt to the Japanese's desperate style of play, so they have an overwhelming advantage in weapons, but they still cannot. Drive the Japanese off the top of Lions Gate Mountain.As a result, what should have been a relatively simple defensive battle turned into a war of attrition—the Xue [-] Brigade has been completely wiped out at this moment. There are more than [-] people in the brigade, and now there are only about [-] left. Among them, More than [-] people were killed on the spot by Montale's execution of the military law.

The fighting will of the Jewish cadets is still too bad.

The 53rd Brigade is also disabled, and now only the 185th Regiment of the three brigades is still capable of fighting.As for the troops directly under the division headquarters, 500 people went up, and now there are only about 54 people left in the Reidan Guard Regiment.The [-]th Brigade is a mechanical brigade, and it has lost a battalion of tank troops before. Now, Menqueri is reluctant and dare not fill them in.

As if the Japanese could not finish the fight or were not afraid of death at all, they continued to pass through the blockade of artillery reinforcements—Men Queri had no choice but to call the headquarters for help.

Ouyang Yun had predicted that the battle at Lion's Gate would be tragic, but after hearing Menkuili's report, he was still shocked - the casualties of the [-]th Division were indeed too great, although he felt faint See what the Jews mean, but such a large battle loss is beyond his acceptable level.Shaking his head, thinking of a key question for the Jews, he thought of a key question, and asked, "How about Japan's war damage?!"

"No less than us. The top of Lion Gate Mountain is now a meat grinder. We have the advantage of weapons. The Japanese are desperate to fight. I just don't know how effective the shelling is. Commander-in-Chief, the Japanese are really crazy. Our shelling is almost They blocked their climbing route, but they still kept replenishing—"

"Understood, retreat back! Let the Chariot Brigade take cover and retreat to Meiling Town!"

Menqueri was very responsible, knowing that once his troops withdrew from Lions Gate, the friendly troops in Qianhu might be attacked by the Japanese army on both sides, so he asked embarrassingly, "Commander-in-Chief-Qianhu, I don't know the situation in Qianhu- "

"Our army already has an overwhelming advantage, and the destruction of the enemy's Eastern Route Army is inevitable!"

"Then I will immediately lead my troops to withdraw to Meiling!"

"Be well organized and don't turn the retreat into a rout!"

"Yes!"

After hanging up the phone, Ouyang Yun said to Huang Hua, the brigade commander of the Special Warfare Division: "The headquarters must be transferred to the front line of Qianhu immediately. You should ask your brothers to help, and the speed must be fast."

Huang Hua heard the conversation between Ouyang Yun and Men Kuili just now, and he asked, "Commander-in-Chief, what if Okamura Ningji concentrates his forces to attack Qianhu?"

"I am free to arrange!"

"But!"

"It's nothing to worry about. I can't let the Eighteenth Division be wiped out. It's already amazing that they can persist until now. That's the decision!"

"Yes!"

Huang Hua commanded his subordinates to help the civilian staff of the headquarters to carry the documents and equipment. Connor squeezed over and said to Ouyang Yun, "Commander-in-chief, I'm curious, how did you manage to make the selfish and greedy Jews behave like this?" obedient."

Ouyang Yun grinned, took out a cigarette, handed him one, picked one up himself, lit it up, took a puff beautifully, exhaled a smoke ring and said: "There has never been a selfless person in the world." , so selfishness is actually not a bad thing. Therefore, if you want to make selfish people selfless, the first thing is not to despise them. You should have heard of this saying, right? "

Connor thought for a while and smiled: "Commander-in-chief, you can deceive me who just came to China, but now——I don't want to hear your perfunctory words!"

Ouyang Yun smiled and didn't entangle on this topic any more, but asked from left to right: "Where are those reporters? Why didn't you see them?"

"I didn't see it, they are specially taken care of by your people!"

"What? They're not with you?" Ouyang Yun's expression changed.The order he gave Jiang Huangyong earlier was for the soldiers to keep Connor and a few foreign reporters under close watch.But now that Connor was here alone, those reporters had disappeared, which made him doubt the true identities of these reporters.

Where did those foreign journalists go?

Before the headquarters was ready to evacuate, Ouyang Yun had someone fire two flares, and then he saw a row of messy footprints heading southwest.Seeing those pairs of footprints that were obviously larger than ordinary student soldiers, the answer became clear.He severely criticized the remaining guard cadets, and after thinking about it, he suppressed the urge to send someone to pursue him. With a wave of his hand, he led the headquarters and the Special Warfare Division into the car and drove towards the front line of Qianhu.

At the headquarters of the [-]th Division, Menkuili put down the phone with a bad face, and said to the staff officers who were staring at him: "There is no reinforcements, but the commander-in-chief has allowed us to evacuate."

Five or six out of ten of these staff officers understood the conversation between him and Ouyang Yun, and they could still maintain a calm face after hearing what he said, while the others were overjoyed.

"Can we retreat to Meiling? That's great!" someone said.As soon as he finished speaking, his joy was extinguished by Menqueri's next words.They don't have much actual combat experience, so they can't understand the risk of retreating in a fierce battle.Menqueri's bad face was due to this, he said: "It's a good thing to be able to evacuate, but we have to give up some soldiers on the top of the mountain—no, maybe, they all have to stay."

All the staff officers were shocked, and someone immediately shouted: "Why?"

Menqueri gave him a cold look, and said, "Because it is absolutely necessary to keep troops to snipe the Japanese army, otherwise, how can we withdraw when the Japanese take advantage of the attack?!"

Nobody said anything—it was a cruel decision.

Menqueri sighed, gritted his teeth and said, "There is another way to take away as many troops as possible, but some people need to volunteer to stay as cannon fodder! Let me try it! You guys, pack up immediately and prepare to evacuate! "

"Yes!"

Menqueri picked up a phone, thought for a while, and shouted through gritted teeth, "Ridan! Please call back!"

After more than ten seconds passed, Reed'an's voice came back: "General, I am Reed'an, where are the reinforcements?"

"Ridan, I'm Menqueri - no reinforcements, repeat, no reinforcements!"

silence.

Menqueri gritted his teeth again, but still couldn't stop the tears from overflowing from his eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Ridan, the commander-in-chief told us to withdraw to Meiling. Now, I need an army to stay behind. They must be brave enough, And you must be mentally prepared to be bombarded by your own people!"

"General, I understand, I, I'll find someone to stay. We just need to hold off the Japanese, right? Then, one company is enough! General, I have a kind request from the humble officer. My sister is still young. I hope you can take care of her for me, and when she grows up, please help her find a Chinese man! Please!"

"Ridan—I promise you!"

"General, thank you!"

"No, I should thank you!"
