Ping An County, Garrison Commander Headquarters.
As the commander-in-chief of this operation, Yamamoto's expression became even uglier.
Anger could erupt at any moment.
From the sounds of the 24th division entering the battlefield, it was clear that the Qinghe Village army had not retreated from the area around Pingan County.
The bad news quickly followed, causing Yamamoto to punch the mahogany desk hard.
Bang!
Blood splattered everywhere!
The troops of the 24th division surrounding Qinghe Village had been fooled!
They were attacked by two large groups of 2,000 soldiers from Qinghe Village. The combat strength of this group was similar to Fan Tianlei's troops that were patrolling outside Pingan County!
In addition to the 15th regiment and 24th division that were killed in the 358th regiment's defense zone…
All of this was because of the cunning of Jiang Kai from Qinghe Village.
As well as Major General Maruyama Masao's misjudgment.
The 24th division of the imperial army had been completely annihilated.
Moreover, the main force of the 24th division was the same as the 15th regiment, and they were facing the same group of enemies.
He had almost made the same mistake!
He had underestimated the enemy!
With so many factors mixed together, the final conclusion would be reached.
The Imperial Army's autumn offensive this time could be said to have failed completely. As the commander-in-chief, Yamamoto Ichiki could not absolve himself of the blame. He had no other choice but to commit suicide!
"Jiang Kai! Jiang Kai! I didn't expect that I would still underestimate you!"
Yamamoto said fiercely.
The other Japanese officers also remembered this name.
"Commander, please give me a large group. I will lead the warriors of the empire into the battlefield and face this Jiang Kai head-on!”
A Japanese lieutenant officer volunteered.
His words were filled with hatred towards Jiang Kai.
It was as if Jiang Kai had dug up his ancestral grave.
In fact, Jiang Kai, who had already wiped out two divisions of the Japanese army, was digging up the graves of the Japanese.
Once this news spread, the entire East Asia war would be shaken!
"Commander, if we don't get rid of Jiang Kai, he will become a huge threat to our Dongying Empire! When he is trained on the battlefield, he will definitely control more Chinese troops and cause even greater losses to our empire!”
"You're right. We have to kill this person in northwestern Shanxi!”
"When has our Great Dongying Empire ever suffered such humiliation? He was actually defeated by a 20-year-old kid!”
"General, you have to make a decision early. There are still nearly ten thousand soldiers in the northwest of Shanxi. It's still not too late to counterattack.”
"No, I don't need it anymore!"
At this moment, a major general of the Japanese suddenly said this.
All the Japanese officers turned their attention to him.
"Takeda-kun, what do you mean?”
"Nothing much. It's just that after we lost the 24th division, our morale has taken a huge hit. In addition, we've also lost a large portion of our troops in the past few battles.”
" The efficiency of our troops in the battle zone is obviously meaningless now!”
"Also, winter is coming soon!”
Major General Takeda emphasized the last sentence.
It was already late autumn in September.
In the late autumn of the north, cold dew had already appeared.
Even though the chill of winter had not yet appeared, it was not far from winter.
With the arrival of winter, the effectiveness of all military operations would be greatly reduced!
Although the military assault on Qinghe Village was not effective, winter was a good time for the Imperial Army to weaken the Chinese and the Chinese. The Eastern army was short of food and supplies, and the Imperial Army could suppress the East in this aspect.
Instead of looking forward to besieging Qinghe Village and destroying this small village.
It would be better to wait and use this opportunity to weaken the rest of the Eastern armies.
At that time, they could take the opportunity to invest tens of thousands of people in this war zone to encircle Qinghe Village!
The imperial army could truly use their advantage in numbers. They didn't have to fight in this small village with the powerful Qinghe Village.
"Then, stop the attack first. Order the 23rd Division to retreat to Pingan County immediately and prepare for the winter offensive against the national defense zone!”
Yamamoto, the commander-in-chief, gave his order.
In his opinion, the 23rd division could definitely make it back to the county city and then regroup before attacking again.
Since the battle plan had been reformulated, the Japanese quickly carried it out and ordered the 23rd Division, which was still near the Gray Cloud Ridge, to withdraw.
As for the 23rd Regiment, they had no idea who they would face on their way back!
The remaining Japanese troops of the 24th division who were fighting desperately near Zhao Jiayu never expected that they would be abandoned by Commander Yamamoto.
To be precise, it could not be considered abandoning him!
It was because Yamamoto didn't dare to join the 23rd division to save the remaining troops of the 24th division!
In other words, Jiang Kai of the 24th division was doomed. Even Jesus couldn't save them!
Yamamoto believed that the 23rd division, which was already in the Gray Cloud Ridge, would definitely be able to hold on until dawn. They would return to Pingan County to defend and wait for the winter attack.
When the time came, they would switch between offense and defense.
No matter how strong the combat strength of Qinghe Village was!
He would not be able to protect the weak forces of the Chinese and the Gong armies under the suppression of the imperial army.
This line of thought was very clear. If he couldn't beat his father, then he would beat his son. If he couldn't beat his son, then he would beat his grandson!
The Japanese were forced to think like an ostrich.
"Awesome! Haha! Ever since I came to the second battle zone, I have never fought such a good battle! Haha!"
At this moment, Li Yun Long, who was attacking the 23rd Division with the Lone Wolf Regiment, stood on the battlefield and laughed.
