At the defensive position of the 1st and 2nd battalions in front of Luo Town, the 43rd regiment of the Shengyang Army continued to attack under the heavy artillery fire of the security regiment.
The four Type 92 Infantry Cannons and the four Type 94 Mountain Cannons from the two artillery squadrons of the Shengyang Army also launched a counterattack.
However, in a situation where they did not have the advantage in quantity and quality, after destroying the six Bofors 75th Mountain Cannons of the Security Corps, they were immediately bombarded into pieces by the retaliatory cannon fire.
Without the cover of artillery fire, the Rising Sun soldiers wanted to retreat, but they had no choice but to charge forward under the orders of Major General Kuroiwa.
"Tsk tsk tsk, tap"
The two armies exchanged fire, and the bullets fired by various weapons rubbed against the air, emitting a dark red light, drawing out beams of light in the night.
The soldiers of Rising Sun who were standing in a line and facing the rain of bullets from the security team were continuously shot down.
At the same time, the soldiers of the Security Corps were also hit from time to time.
Although the security guards had the absolute advantage in firepower, the Shengyang soldiers were not to be trifled with. Their accurate marksmanship caused the defending 1st and 2nd battalions to suffer heavy losses.
"Da da da"
In the trenches, the 1st Battalion Commander Lin Yun was holding an MP28 and firing wildly at the Rising Sun soldiers outside the trenches. The bullets rained down on a few of them, knocking them to the ground.
The MG42 machine gun at the side had already emptied several ammunition boxes and scrapped several barrels.
Seeing that the barrel of the general-purpose machine gun was already faintly red, it could not hold on for much longer. This was the last barrel, but the Rising Sun soldiers still charged forward fearlessly.
Opposite them, at the command post of the 22nd Brigade.
The regiment commander, Major General Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu, put down the binoculars in his hand and said in disbelief,"
"Which troop is this? Why are they equipped with so many automatic weapons?”
"Reporting to the regiment commander, the 22nd regiment sent out a farewell message five minutes ago. The major general has ordered us to retreat!”
The communicator's report interrupted Heiyan Yisheng's thoughts.
"What is it? The 22nd regiment was annihilated? How is this possible? Did you confirm the authenticity of the telegram? Isn't it a trick of the Chinese people?”
Heiyan Yisheng asked in disbelief.
"It has been confirmed that the telegram is true. The major general is now ordering our troops to retreat."
Hearing the communicator's affirmative answer, Heiyan Yisheng could not believe his ears. After a moment of silence, he said,
"Order the troops to retreat. Since the 22nd regiment has been completely wiped out and we have lost our breakthrough point, there is no need to attack with the enemy's superior firepower.”
"Bang, shh ~"
A green signal flare was fired from the Rising Sun Army.
The captain who led the attack looked at the rising retreat signal and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Even the well-trained soldiers of Rising Sun would be afraid to attack with such fierce firepower.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
Waving the commanding sword in his hand, the captain of the Rising Sun soldiers shouted for retreat.
"Battalion Commander, the Rising Sun soldiers have retreated!"
Lin Yun was panting heavily as he looked at the retreating Rising Sun soldiers. Although he was a clone, he still felt like he had survived a disaster.
There was no time for him to think too much. As the commander of a battalion, there were naturally many things that he needed to do. He propped himself up and ordered the soldiers around him,
"Quickly rescue the wounded and repair the trenches to prevent the Rising Sun Army from attacking again.”
He still did not know that the Rising Sun Empire had really retreated this time. They would not attack again for the time being, at least not today!
……
The sun gradually rose in the distance. The light of dawn tore away the veil of the night sky, revealing the brilliant morning glow. It was a new day.
A night of killing had filled the air with a thick smell of blood. Although the night raid by the people of Rising Sun had ended in failure, it had still brought huge losses to the security team.
"Reporting to Commander, the results of the battle have been tabulated. Last night, our army wiped out 3,246 Rising Sun soldiers from the 22nd Infantry Regiment to Commander Yamazaki Ken.
The reinforcements of the Rising Sun Tribe had also left 1,067 corpses outside the frontline. It was impossible to count whether they had taken any of them away. In total, they had killed 4,313 Rising Sun Tribe soldiers.
Our army suffered a total of 1,622 casualties, of which 1,178 died, 444 were injured, and 218 were heavily injured.
In addition, our 1st Battalion 1st Company was the first to be ambushed, and all 239 soldiers, including Company Commander Zhao Jun, were killed.”
Zhong Yu didn't say a word as he listened to the report of his soldiers. He just sat there in a daze. Despite having an absolute advantage in weapons and equipment, he still suffered more than 1,600 casualties. This was definitely not a cold number but more than 1,600 living lives. The young man who was still alive and kicking a few days ago was now just a cold corpse.
However, this was only the beginning. The enemy was the 11th division of the Rising Sun Tribe, and there were nearly 20,000 of them. How should he face them? How could he resist them? Perhaps he should not have brought them here. It would be better if he could develop in peace in Jade Cliff. If it was according to the history of his previous life, there was still a year before the Rising Sun Tribe attacked Jade Cliff. Perhaps it would be better for him to develop in peace in Jade Cliff?
This idea had only just started to form before it was quickly extinguished by Zhong Yu. Behind Shanghai was Yingtian City. Although this was not the Blue Planet, he could not guarantee that the people of Rising Sun would not do something that would infuriate both men and gods.
He couldn't gamble on this matter.
Zhong Yu tried his best to calm down and said,
" Collect the bodies of the soldiers and do your best to treat the injured soldiers. Send out a scouting team to find out every move of the Rising Sun soldiers on the other side. Double the number of sentries. Also, report the results of the battle to the Eighteenth Army. Double the number of casualties on our side!”
In the 1st division of the 18th army of the Central Xia Army, Luo Ying was stroking a fountain pen in her hand. She looked at the huge military map hanging on the wall and said nothing.
The intense gunfire in the direction of Luo Town had lasted from midnight until early this morning. He had sent several messages to inquire about it, but he did not receive any response.
Luo Ying had already begun to suspect that the people of Shengyang had already taken over Luo Town, and the security team defending Luo Town had been completely wiped out.
"Pa!"
He threw the pen on the command desk and said to the communicator beside him,
"Order the 11th Division to quickly advance towards Luo Town. Find out what exactly happened there.”
Before the messenger could send the message, a telegram came in from the other side.
"Reporting, Luo Zhen's Qiongya Security Regiment has called. Last night at 2:30 AM, our division was ambushed by the 22nd regiment of the Rising Sun Infantry. The 43rd and 44th regiment of the Rising Sun Infantry followed closely behind and was blocked by our division.
After a night of fierce fighting, we wiped out 3,246 soldiers of the 22nd regiment of the Rising Sun Infantry. The 43rd and 44th regiments of the Rising Sun Infantry retreated after losing 1,067 bodies.
In this battle, they seized more than 3,600 Type 38 rifles, 8 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 21 Type 11 light machine guns, 28 grenade launchers, four 81mm mortars, one Type 92 infantry cannon, and countless ammunition.
In this battle, we have suffered a total of 3,200 casualties. We have consumed a lot of weapons and ammunition. Zhongxia Ge ordered the army Qiongya security group Zhong Yu to send a message, on September 2, 2016.”
When she heard that the security regiment had wiped out more than 4,000 enemies and the 22nd regiment of the Shengyang people, Luo Ying was more shocked than convinced.
If the Zhongyang Army couldn't even do it, how could a small local security regiment kill 4,000 enemies?
Luo Ying was really a little angry. He dared to lie about such a big matter. He turned around and said to the reporter with some anger,
"Order the security team to quickly report the true situation of the war. If there are any more false reports, they will be punished according to military law!”
……
These two days, he had been mentally and physically exhausted by the problem of sensitive words. He spent two hours writing and five hours refining. I almost collapsed! His results were already bad, and now they were even worse.
It was unbearable and she wanted to cry!
