"Retreat!"

By the moat, Kaneda Nagao saw the Third Company reappearing on the city gate tower, and then looked at the fallen Japanese soldiers near the city gate, and finally made this difficult decision.

The Japanese orders were conveyed quickly. In a short period of time, the Japanese soldiers who were desperately attacking the city gate retreated to the newly established forward position by the moat. Kaneda Nagao, on the other hand, led his own

The guard returned to the company headquarters to plead guilty.

"Bagaya Road! Bang bang!"

"Ha Yi!" This is the voice heard by the soldiers outside the company headquarters.

Inside the headquarters, two bright red handprints appeared on Kaneda Nagao's face, the traces of his fingers were clearly visible, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

After finishing the beating, Takamori Takashi stood in front of the command table again, holding the edge of the table with both hands, looking at Kaneda Nagao sinisterly.

"Kaneda-kun, do you know how much we paid to capture this small Baoshan City? Not to mention the soldiers who were killed in the past few days, more than 600 imperial soldiers were killed yesterday and today alone!

There is also a battalion commander and six squadron commanders! We also lost 18 heavy machine guns and four infantry cannons!”

"Across from us, there is just an ordinary infantry battalion from China! You have to understand that they have no aircraft support, no heavy artillery cover, no naval gun coverage, and even less weapons and ammunition than us! But our losses are higher than theirs

Much more! As far as I know, there are nearly a company of Chinese soldiers in Baoshan City who can fight!"

"Kaneda-kun, we have been unable to explain to His Majesty the Emperor the past two days of fighting, and we have even let those pigs in the navy see our joke! Kaneda-kun, what do you think we should do?"

After hearing these words, Kaneda Nagao was sweating. This was not because of heat, but because of fear! The jade pieces the commander mentioned were really jade pieces, not counting the injured ones. He knew how serious the crime of incompetence in combat was.

!He has never tried the pain of seppuku, but he knows it.

"Your Excellency, Captain! According to my observation, the performance of Baoshan City's defenders before yesterday was only elite, and their tactics tended to be conservative and featureless! But starting from yesterday, their tactics suddenly became more diverse.

It’s changed!”

"In yesterday's battle, their artillery showed extraordinary accuracy! Especially during the siege battle! Their infantry also performed very flexibly and strangely! According to my observation yesterday, we have clearly occupied them.

How could they easily annihilate them between two trenches? And in yesterday's siege, their soldiers' marksmanship seemed to be extremely accurate! Someone sniped and killed Squadron Leader Nakamura at a distance of 400 meters. This is incredible.

Don’t let us re-evaluate the combat effectiveness of Chinese soldiers!”

Nagao Kaneda expressed his analysis.

"So, what happened today? One and a half squadron of soldiers were buried in the city, and half a squadron of soldiers were shattered outside the city. I'm afraid this is no reason for you to shirk your responsibility!"

Takamori Taka didn't want to let Kaneda Nagao commit seppuku, but it was still necessary to analyze the battle situation, and by the way, he also beat his subordinate.

"Ha Yi! According to the battle report I received, we have occupied Dongmen Street, and when the Chinese defenders made a retreat, the Chinese detonated the explosive devices pre-embedded on both sides of Dongmen Street! This made us in the East Gate

The soldiers on the street were affected by the explosions on both sides. After the explosion, there were almost no intact bodies!"

"The next thing happened, a sharpshooter hit the infantry cannon shell, causing a fatal explosion, and the Chinese soldiers reoccupied the city gate! Moreover, the tactics of these Chinese soldiers were extremely clumsy! They did not confront us.

Instead of shooting, he hid on the city wall, crawled forward, and then threw grenades down the city!"

"The sharpshooter...the sharpshooter...the clumsy tactics...could it be said that there is something else we don't know about the people of the Rabbit Country? Soldiers are also deceitful! It seems that we have to re-evaluate our opponents!

"Takashi Takamori sighed.

"China, after all, is a country with thousands of years of civilization! When our ancestors were still naked and fighting for food with wild beasts, they established a civilized and prosperous country! They also have a proud position in the world! What about them?

In the history of China, there have been countless great generals and outstanding military strategists!"

"If it weren't for their isolation and weak national strength for nearly two hundred years, and if we hadn't obtained a large amount of land and war compensation through war after war, we would not be able to compete with such a country!"

"So, you have to remember! If you are going to war with such a country, you must be cautious! Once you seize the opportunity, you must pounce on them and bite them hard, not giving them any chance to fight back!

"

After Takashi Takamori finished speaking, he stared into Kaneda Nagao's eyes: "I will give you an hour to rest your army! Then transfer a squadron and a heavy machine gun squadron from the Third Battalion to support you! After an hour, the stone on the moat will

The bridge will be repaired and the six tanks of the tank company will support you!"

"But I have only one request, I must capture Baoshan before dark! If I can't capture it, I don't mind being your fault myself!"

"Hayi!"

After bowing, Kaneda Nagao left the company headquarters and began to organize the remaining men of his First Battalion and formulate the next offensive plan.

Baoshan City, headquarters, Hu Yizhou met the Eighth Battalion Commander.

"Hahahaha..." Needless to say, this laughter came from the Eighth Battalion Commander.

"Master! Uncle Hu! Hu Zhou! Well done, well done! Hahahaha! With one explosive device and these machine guns, there were more than 200 corpses of little Japs left in the city! It was so enjoyable! If anyone could do this

After such a victory, the Japanese devils still dare to invade us? Bah! Don’t say anything, I’ll give you credit! I’ll give you credit! Big credit! I’ll give you a medal!”

The Eighth Battalion Commander hugged Hu Yizhou excitedly and patted his back, even speaking a little incoherently.

"By the way, you were the one who fired the shot that exploded the Japanese cannonball at the city gate, right? That's awesome! That's awesome!" The Eighth Battalion Commander let go of Hu Yizhou and didn't forget to give a thumbs up.

"What was the result of the battle? Were there any seizures? Also, you asked me to come here just to compliment me, right?" Hu Yizhou was also very happy. After all, he had killed so many Japanese and it was a relief! But he still kept calm.

"Not bad! Calm enough! It's a good piece of material!" The Eighth Battalion Commander suddenly resumed his appearance as a front-line commander.

"This time, we seized 12 crooked handles, but all of them were almost broken. There were more than 100 38s, and most of them were broken. However, there were three grenade tubes that seemed to be fine, and the special grenades were also broken.

More than fifty were seized! What do you want to do?"
