Liu Ze was naturally aware of the situation in Baoshan County. It was not far from midnight, and the system's main mission required them to defend Baoshan County for 15 days. They would be able to complete it by midnight.
"I remember leaving some trucks for you guys. Where are these trucks?”Liu Ze asked.
When Liu Ze had left behind a large amount of weapons and ammunition, he had also left behind quite a number of trucks.
"These trucks were hidden behind us and were not destroyed by the Japanese's artillery fire. Senior, do you want us to evacuate by truck?”Qiu Qing Quan asked.
"That's right. I'll provide cover for you. From Baoshan County to the bridgehead by the river, as long as you're fast enough, it won't be a problem for you to rush over with a truck. The truck can also take away all of our wounded soldiers and the ashes of those who sacrificed their lives.”Liu Ze nodded.
"Alright, I'll arrange it immediately." Qiu Qing Quan didn't say anything when he heard this.
He had already witnessed Liu Ze's miraculous abilities.
Without Liu Ze, Qiu Qing Quan didn't think he could lead the team to break out of the encirclement. However, with Liu Ze, it was completely different. Back then, he had personally seen Liu Ze annihilate the entire 68th Regiment on the battlefield.
Soon, the surviving hundred soldiers in Baoshan County received the order to retreat.
In the darkness, the hidden trucks were all driven out.
Everyone moved together and carried the wounded out of the underground bunker onto the truck. Someone moved the ashes.
The soldiers of the kitchen team cooked noodles for everyone, noodles with meat.
Everyone gathered around the truck and ate quietly.
A soldier in the kitchen personally prepared a bowl of noodles for the ashes that were carried onto the truck. He cried and said,"Brothers, I couldn't find you when I went to deliver the food. Now, I'll make it up to you. The old monitor's cooking is very good. The noodles with meat are delicious.”
Hearing that, the surrounding warriors all swallowed their noodles with tears in their eyes.
Liu Ze looked at the scene in front of him with a heavy heart.
……
Just as the Chinese army in Baoshan County was preparing to leave, in the 34th Regiment's headquarters outside the city.
The commander of the 34th regiment, Daisuke Inoue, looked at the sand table in front of the command center with a serious gaze. His heart was filled with conflict.
This place was definitely an ominous location for the Empire's army.
Two regiments had already suffered a devastating blow here. Since the war with China broke out, it was the first regiment commander to die, the first permanent regiment to be completely wiped out, and the first place to have their flag seized. This made Inoue Kanto have to be careful.
There was no need for any evidence to prove how terrifying Liu Ze was. Even the arrogant Japanese knew how powerful Liu Ze was.
Inoue Kanto had to admit that if his team had encountered the same attack as the previous two teams, would his team have done better?
Kanto Inoue knew the answer very well. Whether it was the Sixth Regiment, the Sixty-eighth Regiment, or the Third Cavalry Regiment, they were all elites of the Empire.
They had been easily destroyed. If it had been his 34 regiments, they would not have had a better outcome.
Just a few minutes ago, the dynasty's intelligence unit sent a report that the Chinese troops in Baoshan County had received the order to retreat.
However, what caught Kanto Inoue's attention was that the vanguard team had just sent a message that they had discovered that Liu Ze's men had infiltrated Baoshan County.
The command center of the dispatch army sent an order to the 34th regiment to annihilate all the enemies in Baoshan County.
However, Liu Ze's appearance made Inoue Kanto consider whether it was worth it to exchange fire with a dangerous person like Liu Ze for the sake of the remaining soldiers in Baoshan County.
Although the battle during the day had been repelled, Inoue Kanto, who was a veteran general on the battlefield, had long seen that there were not many enemies left in Baoshan County.
For the sake of these few remaining enemies, they had to gamble on the survival of the 34th Regiment.
On one side was the command of the dispatch corps, and on the other side was the honor of the 34th regiment. This colonel regiment commander was really wavering at this moment.
The chief of staff of the Major Regiment carefully stepped forward and suggested,""Your Excellency, perhaps we can ask the regiment commander of the Shangye Brigade and tell him that we have discovered Liu Ze in Baoshan County.”
Jintu Inoue pondered for a long time before saying,""Alright, immediately send a message to ask the captain of the Shangye Brigade.”
The telegram was sent out, and soon, he received a reply from the Major General of the 29th Brigade of the 3rd Division, Kanichiro Ueye.
The regiment commander, Kanichiro Ueno, ordered the 34th Regiment not to take action yet. He wanted to personally ask the dispatch command.
At this moment, the entire 3rd division was in a half-crippled state.
The 5th Brigade of the 3rd division, which was the 5th Brigade of the 6th and 68th regiments, had already withdrawn from the battle and returned to their country to reorganize.
The 3rd division only had the 29th regiment left. The 3rd division's Heavy Artillery regiment was also gone. The other two regiments of the cavalry regiment, the Anti-aircraft Artillery regiment, the 3rd Heavy Artillery regiment, the 3rd Engineer regiment, and the three Aerial regiments were still in the country.
As such, the 3rd division only had two regiments in China. Adding on a few exploration teams and the troops under the division, and the 34th regiment, which had nearly 3,000 casualties, they only had less than 10,000 soldiers left.
If they lost the 34 regiments, the 3rd division would be able to announce that they would withdraw from the Chinese battlefield. The entire division should return to their country to replenish their forces.
When Matsui Ishigen received the message from the 3rd division major general, Fujita Shinji, he was stunned.
Liu Ze returned to Baoshan County, and there was only the 34th Regiment nearby.
Matsui Iwane thought to himself, why is the unlucky one the 3rd division?
Fujita no longer thought about how to take revenge, he was thinking about how to preserve the 3rd division. Once the 3rd division was wiped out, it would no longer be the 3rd division.
This was also the reason why Fujita Susumu had sent a message requesting Matsui Ishigen to withdraw the order to annihilate the Chinese army in Baoshan Prefecture.
Matsui Ishigen put down the message in his hand. He knew very well that once the 34th Regiment was killed by Liu Ze, his position as the commander of the dispatched troops would be over.
Many people in the army headquarters were from the 3rd division, so Matsui had to consider their thoughts.
In reality, Matsui Ishigen did not even consider it and immediately withdrew the order to annihilate Baoshan County. At the same time, he also ordered that if the Chinese army retreated, they would just stop them for a while.
