Nishikawa Hirano was dead, the 65th Regiment was destroyed, and the battalion that was attacking outside began to retreat. In fact, he had no choice but to retreat. A brigade of more than 1,000 people had fought for an entire night and had already lost about 400 people. They only had about 600 people left. If they did not leave now, the enemy would catch up.
However, they still couldn't escape because Sun Liren had been thinking about the Japanese army for a long time. He immediately ordered the two companies that blocked the Japanese army to start chasing.
Although the two companies had fought for an entire night and had lost about 200 people, which was close to the strength of a company, they knew that the main force was behind them. They started to bite the Japanese.
Sun Liren ordered the troops to pursue the Japanese soldiers as long as they could move.
Just as Sun Liren was chasing the Japanese army, the battle in the direction of Dongjiagang had reached its most tense moment.
Dizhou Libing had already armed his non-combatants and sent them to the battlefield.
However, it was still very difficult for them to fight. There were not many combat troops in Dizhou.
Two regiments, more than seven thousand people, and a large group of more than six thousand people were sent out.
There were also a few scattered non-combatants. These people added up to more than 10,000 people, but the key was that war was not about numbers.
The overall firepower of the Japanese army was far inferior to Zhou Weiguo's 1st Independent Brigade, whether it was heavy firepower or other firepower.
Moreover, the Japanese army was attacked from both sides and was caught off guard by Zhou Weiguo's sudden attack.
As for Sun Xinpu's heavy artillery regiment, after Yang Gongzhen's Japanese army was taken care of, Sun Xinpu turned the muzzle and aimed the other half of the artillery at the troops of Dizhou Libing.
This kind of heavy artillery bombardment left the soldiers of Dizhou unable to do anything. The power of the heavy artillery was too great. Every time they bombarded him, there would be a large number of casualties.
If the soldiers died, it would be fine. If they didn't die, their legs would be blown off or they would be half-dead. That would be the biggest headache. This was because the wails of the injured would seriously affect the morale of the troops.
.......
"Traveler, Sun Liren's 3rd Regiment has finished the battle. The Japanese troops that went to reinforce were also eaten by Sun Liren. They are currently cleaning up the battlefield!"
He Yuchen handed a telegram to Zhou Weiguo.
"Not bad! Sun Liren was a good fighter! In just five hours, they had taken down a regiment and a brigade of the Japanese! Ask them about their casualties!”
Zhou Weiguo smiled after reading the battle report. In one night, he could be said to have eaten four Japanese infantry brigades.
"Their casualties are not small either, more than 800 people have died. If it wasn't for the Heavy Artillery Regiment using artillery to support them, their casualties would have been even higher!”
He Yuchen, who was beside him, had obviously received Sun Liren's casualty report.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Their time to get used to each other is too short. They don't have much time to get used to each other. It was already good enough that there were only a few casualties in a war! You give Sun Liren the electricity, and I'll give him half an hour to gather those who can still fight and join the battle at Dong Jiagang. Now that we've reached a critical moment, the Japanese have used all their men.”
At the beginning of the war, the Japanese were extraordinarily strong. Now, Zhou Weiguo had used two infantry regiments and his guard battalion, a total of more than 9,000 people. Close to 10,000 people had surrounded the Japanese from the front and back. However, they had been fighting for almost a night and still had not eaten them.
"Good! I'll immediately pass on the order!"
After He Yuchen went to generate electricity, she told Zhou Weiguo another piece of news.
"Brigade Leader, Zhang Lingfu's 4th Regiment and Fang Shengli's 1st Regiment are currently in the direction of Zhang Cixiang to encircle and annihilate a Japanese infantry regiment. However, Zhang Cixiang was too close to the Japanese army's 9th division outside Changfeng County. I'm afraid they won't have a good time!"
Zhou Weiguo frowned.
"Annihilate the Japanese army? Zhang Lingfu's appetite was not small, but their regiment and battalion were still too weak. Let Zhang Lingfu's troops open up the gap and not surround them. Right now, we don't have many troops. If we don't do well, it's very likely that we will be counterattacked by the Japanese army. He just had to let them stop him there. As long as we can take down the Japanese 13th Division tonight, it will be a great victory!”
"Good!"
...........
Zhang Ci Township, Zhang Lingfu Regiment Department.
"Regimental commander, brigade commander sent a telegram, asking us not to surround and annihilate this Japanese army regiment and let them go. They could stop the Japanese 9th Division here!”
Zhang Lingfu was a little unwilling to accept this, but he knew that this was the right choice. The Japanese 9th Division was too close to Zhang Cixiang. It was so close that they could not take down the Japanese army before the 9th Division arrived.
"How long until the Japanese army arrives?"
Zhang Lingfu asked unwillingly after more than ten seconds.
"Less than twenty minutes!"
"Twenty minutes? He ordered the troops to open up a gap and let this Japanese army go!”
Zhang Lingfu sighed. If there was another regiment, he would definitely be able to take down the Japanese army.
The Japanese army finally retreated because Zhang Lingfu took the initiative to open the gap. However, even if he let them go.
The Japanese 19th regiment had also lost more than 900 men in this half an hour. Almost an entire brigade had been eaten. The reason was that Zhang Lingfu had chosen a good time to launch the surprise attack. The Japanese were careless and attacked from all directions. The Japanese were caught off guard and many of them died.
However, after the 19th Regiment retreated, he was ordered to attack the Chinese army together with the 9th Regiment.
As for the result, it was needless to say. Of course, he didn't block it.
On the other side, Zhou Weiguo's siege on the 13th Regiment started to gain the upper hand as time passed.
The 13th Regiment lacked heavy artillery, and their firepower could not compare to the 1st independent regiment.
Especially after the 13th Regiment's Field Artillery Regiment was wiped out by Sun Xinpu's Heavy Artillery Regiment, their battle became even more difficult.
............
The sky slowly brightened, and the 26th day arrived.
In Dongjiagang, Zhangci, and Changfeng, the sound of gunfire was still resounding.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:042020185:17PM
