Unlike the incessant gunfire from the two flanks, perhaps because the battle last night had wounded the Shengyang soldiers, the enemies in Luo Town did not launch a large-scale attack other than the occasional sniping.
"Baka! Baka! Damn Qiongya Independent Brigade, damn Zhong Yu!"
The commander of the 11th division, Yamamuro Tadatake, was furious in the command center. The attack on the Shengyang army yesterday had caused more than 4,000 casualties, even though only 3,000 or so had died directly.
However, this was still unacceptable to Yamuro Tadatake. One had to know that a full regiment only had 3,800 people. In other words, a small Luo Town had been filled with a reinforced regiment in a day!
Ever since the Independent Brigade took over Luo Zhen, the 11th division had suffered over 10,000 casualties in just ten days!
The 11th division only had 4 infantry regiments. After the 22nd regiment was wiped out, Yamamuro Tadashi only had 3 infantry regiments left. They were an engineering regiment, a logistics regiment, a cavalry regiment, and an artillery regiment.
The water network in Shanghai was dense, and large-scale offensive and defensive battle cavalry regiments were useless. Only three of the four strongest infantry regiments were left. The artillery regiments were not considered, and you couldn't let them charge with their cannons.
Only the logistics and engineering regiments were left with complete combat power and could take on the offensive mission.
Yamuro Tadatake could not believe that the two second-class regiments could take down the enemy's elite troops in Ro Town.
After thinking about it, Yamuro Tadashi decided to temporarily give up on the full-force attack on the main town of Roll Town. Instead, his main force turned to attack the left and right flanks of Roll Town.
If they successfully broke through the left and right flanks of Luo Town, and the Luo Town defenders did not retreat, they could form a pincer attack on the main town of Luo Town.
If a division were to attack the main town, the Luo Town garrison would not be able to defend against it.
If the main defending army retreated, the 11th division could easily occupy Luo Town.
……
On the night of September 11th, the right wing of the 15th Army was breached by the Shengyang Army, and the frontline troops of Luo Town retreated.
Zhong Yu received the order from the 18th Division. The Independent Brigade abandoned the main position of Luo Town and all the troops retreated to Yuezi Shop.
After receiving the order, Zhong Yu did not hesitate to order the troops to retreat. The right flank had been broken through, and if they continued to hold on to Luo Town, they would face the danger of being attacked by the Rising Sun soldiers. Perhaps with the current strength of the Independent Brigade, they could still hold on for a while, but this would undoubtedly cause even greater casualties.
On the morning of the 12th, the independent brigade began to retreat. The field hospital, which had always been operating independently, attracted Zhong Yu's attention for the first time.
"What's going on? Why are the troops retreating so slowly?”
Although it would take some time for a few thousand troops to retreat, an hour had already passed. There were still some people who had not begun to evacuate. Zhong Yu, who was a little impatient, asked.
"Brigadier, there are too many injured people in the field hospital. It's easier to transfer the lightly injured, but it's really not easy to transfer the seriously injured."
Xu Jianying answered.
After hearing Xu Jianying's answer, Zhong Yu remembered that he had a field hospital. When he left Qiongya, he brought a field hospital consisting of ten doctors and forty nurses.
。
All the doctors were recruited by the base, and their skills were top-notch. However, due to the high price, each doctor had to be recruited with 2,000 points of funds. Zhong Yu only recruited ten doctors, and the 40 nurses were all simply trained by the Red Alert soldiers.
He had not paid attention to them since he set off from Qiongya. Now that he thought about how they treated hundreds of wounded and sick people in every battle, he could imagine how much work they had to do. Zhong Yu felt extremely regretful. He had never thought of such an important department.
"Let's go to the hospital."
Zhong Yu, who was feeling guilty, led the group of people quickly towards the hospital.
At this time, the field hospital's nurses were constantly carrying the injured to the trucks and moving the equipment. Many lightly injured people were also helping at the side.
As a field hospital, it was equipped with 20 trucks to transport equipment and personnel. However, in the face of so many injured people, 20 trucks were just a drop in the bucket.
"Quick, the main force has already begun to retreat. Everyone, move quickly. Pay attention to the seriously injured.”
As the first doctor to be called up, Yang Chao stepped forward at midnight to command the evacuation of the hospital before Zhong Yu appointed the director of the field hospital.
However, it was not easy to evacuate thousands of injured people quickly when the hospital was seriously short of manpower and vehicles.
Even though many of the lightly injured were helping each other to move, there were still hundreds of heavily injured people who could not be moved. Among them, there were many who were only treated temporarily.
"Doctor Yang, the hospital doesn't have enough vehicles. We can't transfer all the seriously injured.”A soldier who was helping said anxiously.
This soldier was called Wang Hong. He had joined the Independent Brigade as a replacement. During a battle, his left shoulder had been shot by a Type 38 rifle. Fortunately, the rifle of the Rising Sun soldiers had enough penetrating power but not enough lethality. The bullet did not stay in his body and went straight through. After treatment, he was fine.
However, the three fellow countrymen who came in with him were not so lucky. Two of them were sacrificed and one was seriously injured.
Now that the troops had retreated, there were too many injured and sick people. The hospital was short of vehicles and manpower, so it was impossible to transfer all the seriously injured in time. Wang Hong, who did not want to lose his last fellow countryman, was so anxious that he was sweating.

I'll take it, let's have another round of fresh flower tickets. After changing the background name yesterday, my results were too miserable!
