    But at this moment, the Japanese artillery unit on the opposite side suddenly began to roar.

    The so-called artillery force of the Japanese army is actually just some of the remaining mountain artillery and mortars of the Japanese army.

    This is all the firepower they can muster. As for the other artillery, they have been eliminated by the troops of the Fourth Army in the long battle.

    Hao Shiwen looked at the shells falling and exploding on the position in the distance, and knew that the Japanese army was preparing a prelude to their own breakout.

    However, after shelling for a period of time, he received intelligence that the Japanese troops in front did not have infantry units to break through, but artillery units conducted bombardments.

    This news surprised him a little. After all, the tactics of the little devils on the opposite side have always been very clear, that is, after the artillery bombardment, they immediately let their infantry units charge.

    But this time, the little devil didn't play his cards according to common sense.

    What's the meaning?  Do the little devils on the opposite side not even have the courage to charge?

    Thinking of this, he immediately asked the staff officer next to him: "What does the little devil opposite mean?

    ??Did you feel that you had too many shells during the round of bombing just now, or did you think that such a round of bombing would scare us away?  "

    "As the saying goes, there must be a demon when something goes wrong. Hao Shiwen needs to figure this out. Otherwise, he will not be able to speculate on the enemy's next move and take precautions.

    Actually, at this time, the reason why Sakura Sato, the commander of the Japanese 122nd Division, fired such a round of artillery shells was to bombard the enemy position on the opposite side.

    The purpose is not to create certain conditions for your own troops to break through, but to let other troops hear such news.

    It is the two Japanese troops in the surrounding area. Although they cannot support this place, they can vaguely hear the sound of shelling here.

    If the troops of the Fourth Army on the opposite side bomb the Japanese positions, then the Japanese troops in other directions will hear it more clearly.

    Sure enough, at this moment, the Japanese troops on both sides had received intelligence. The artillery troops of the 122nd Division concentrated their only artillery firepower and launched a bombardment on the defensive positions of the Fourth Army on the opposite side.

    As soon as such news reached the headquarters of these two Japanese divisions, their commanders determined one thing.

    The besieged 122nd Division is about to break out!

    Since the 122nd Division has broken through, it will definitely be able to attract some of the enemy's firepower and troops, which is definitely a good thing for them.

    ¡°At least their troops can break out toward Shandong at this time. In that case, their troops will encounter fewer obstacles along the way.

    The attention of the Fourth Army troops that might have attacked them at any time will now be drawn to the location of the 122nd Division.

    So, the two division commanders of the Japanese army issued the same order almost in a tacit understanding.

    The content of this order is to ask their troops to immediately retreat to Shandong.

    The two Japanese divisions on both sides had actually been ready to retreat.

    In the early morning, the news of the fall of the harbor had already reached their ears.

    For these Japanese troops, they knew very well what the fall of the harbor meant.

    If he still said that his reaction was slower, the Fourth Army on the opposite side might even join the Eighth Route Army to surround them in this place.

    They want to retreat, but they are also waiting for a suitable time.

    What time?

    It is the 122nd Division that is now besieged.

    "Compared to them, the besieged 122nd Division must be more panicked. After all, this unit is surrounded by the enemy.

    Under the siege of the enemy, this unit suffered heavy losses, basically reaching the point where more than half, or even more than two-thirds, of the troops were killed or injured.

    Generally on the battlefield, with such heavy casualties, the Japanese troops can basically declare that they can no longer continue fighting and need to withdraw from the battlefield.

    But now that they are troops surrounded by the enemy, where can they retreat to?

    Therefore, the 122nd Division must be the first among these three troops to be unable to hold back and break through to the outside.

    These two Japanese divisions are waiting for the 122nd Division to break through. As long as the 122nd Division breaks through, the enemy's strength and attention will be attracted.

    For them, this is the most suitable time to break out.

      With this thought, they finally heard the roar of artillery from the 122nd Division at this time.

    The 122nd Division couldn't hold it any longer, but they broke through at this time and were doomed.

    Since they are all going to die, the two Japanese division commanders felt that it would be better to let the deaths of these soldiers of the 122nd Division play a greater value.

    You can slightly cover their retreat at this time.

    With this idea that the dead Taoist friends will not die the poor Taoists, these Japanese soldiers began to retreat toward the southeast under the order of the division commander.

    But they did not expect that the division commander of the 122nd Division, Sato Sakura, was misleading them, making them mistakenly think that the 122nd Division was making a breakout. In fact, the troops of the 122nd Division were still in the position and did not come out, but the artillery roared.  Just for a while.

    The movements of the Japanese troops on the side were quickly relayed to Hao Shiwen.

    "What do you mean, is this something they have agreed upon?"

    Hao Shiwen felt a little headache when he looked at the information passed over.

    If we attack the 122nd Division now, these two Japanese divisions may slip away.

    Although there are troops behind to stop them, if they are now restrained by the troops of the 122nd Division, then the troops chasing this Japanese army and the troops to block this Japanese army are actually not that sufficient.

    Besides, the Japanese 122nd Division actually suffered huge losses in their continuous attacks.

    According to Hao Shiwen's estimation, the number of little devils on the opposite side should be around five to six thousand, and there are only so many people left.

    It¡¯s just that the willpower of the little devils on the opposite side is very tenacious. Even now, this little devils have not chosen to surrender, and the main body of the army has not been defeated.

    And the two Japanese troops on their sides probably have a combined strength of around 40,000 people. Those are two big fat fishes.

    It would be a pity for him to think about it if it just slipped away from his mouth.

    "What should we do? Chief of Staff, which unit are you going to pursue the Japs?"

    The staff officer on the side asked.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
