    Chapter 163: Mission accomplished (new book, please watch)

    In fact, it was not just Hisao Tani and others who were surprised. Li Guoyao, who was watching the battle from behind, was also extremely shocked when he saw this situation. He really did not expect that the defenders' counterattack could achieve such a result.

    ¡°And unlike Hisao Tani and others who did not know the specific casualties, Li Guoyao knew because he had a system.

    When it was withdrawn yesterday, the system score was 34,652 points, and a total of 9,600 Japanese soldiers were killed.

    Now the points have become 45,522 points, an increase of 11,000 points, showing that 3,144 Japanese soldiers were killed, including 3,012 ordinary soldiers, and the rest were officers.

    But when I think about it, I feel relieved. First of all, this must be blamed on the little devils being too careless. They were too superstitious about the power of poison gas bombs and were eager to seek breakthroughs, so they rushed up in a swarm regardless of the tactical requirements in the tactical manual and gave them to  There was an opportunity for the defenders to take advantage of.

    Secondly, the current situation of the defenders is not quite right. Due to the Japanese Japs pressing harder and harder, the defenders were driven all the way from Nanjing City to Xiaguan Wharf. There are not even half of the 40,000 troops left.  Morale should be getting lower and lower.

    However, due to the desperate situation behind them, everyone knew that if the little devils rushed into the position, they would die, so there was no other way but to fight to the death. Therefore, during the fight, the defenders were very relaxed, and the more they fought, the more fierce they became.  It is the so-called sad army that will win.

    Also, the previous tactics of showing weakness to the enemy worked. He used artillery to kill the Japs¡¯ artillery, and Li Guoyao himself even used rocket launchers to drive away the Japs¡¯ aviation. Without these heavy equipment for coordinated operations, the Japs could only use  There seems to be no other way to save lives.

    Of course, this also involves weapons and equipment!

    Although the independent brigade suffered heavy losses in the past few days, when it retreated, it withdrew almost all its heavy equipment, especially the light and heavy machine guns. As long as it was still usable, it was withdrawn to Xiaguan, and was placed on the front line by Li Guoyao.  On the battlefield.

    In addition, when the Central Army's 36th Division, 88th Division, 87th Division and other units retreated, they also left a lot of heavy equipment that could not be taken away with the Independent Brigade. As a result, the number of light and heavy machine guns of the Independent Brigade on the Xiaguan front line actually reached four to five hundred  Yes, there are hundreds of mortars and grenades of large and small calibers, and dozens of large-caliber artillery pieces. This firepower bonus is also an important reason for the brilliant achievements.

    But Li Guoyao also saw that the results were indeed not small, but the Independent Brigade's own casualties were also extremely heavy.

    Especially the poison gas bomb just now, which directly caused one-third of the troops at the front to lose their combat effectiveness. The second-line troops alone carried more than a thousand wounded soldiers from the trenches, not counting those who were killed in action.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Losing eight thousand to yourself, the ancients do not deceive me!

    Such heavy casualties make people like Li Guoyao, who are accustomed to life and death, feel heartbroken, let alone front-line commanders and fighters.

    But Li Guoyao knew better that they had to hold on. Only in this way could they withdraw as many troops as possible to the other side of the Yangtze River.

    Due to the tenacious blocking of the defenders, the battle lasted from morning to eleven o'clock in the morning. Although the Japanese army successively conquered two lines of defense outside Xiaguan, they still failed to capture the last line of defense.

    At this time, a full day and a half had passed since the start of the Yanshan Blockade. During these more than thirty hours, the independent brigade fought against four Japanese divisions with only one brigade.

    Although they were beaten back and forth and the troops suffered heavy losses, they were unable to allow the Japanese troops to cross their defense lines and attack the civilians and other Chinese troops crossing the river.

    At half past eleven, the Xiaoshan Order at the dock sent someone to inform Li Guoyao that the last company of the 36th Division had boarded the ship. Except for their independent brigade, there were no other troops on the south bank of the Yangtze River and they could withdraw.

    However, what Li Guoyao didn't expect was that perhaps the Japs also discovered the abnormality and attacked even more crazily. It was very difficult for the defenders to withdraw from the battle.

    There was no other way. Li Guoyao could only order the troops with greater losses, such as the 1st Regiment, 2nd Regiment, 1st Guard Regiment, 2nd Regiment, 5th Regiment, and 6th Regiment, to withdraw first, while the remaining troops provided cover.

    At twelve o'clock sharp, the troops of these regiments finally boarded the ship. At this time, there were still 6 regiments left in the Xiaguan Pier position. It was said that they were 6 regiments, but the total strength was less than 8,000 people.

    In the command post, Li Guoyao was staring at the front line position, thinking about how to retreat next, when he saw Liang Yong hurried over and said: "Report to the brigade, news came from Jiangbei, two warships of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet have captured  Once we reach the fort on the right, we can get here in half an hour at most. If we don¡¯t retreat, it will be too late!¡±

    After hearing the report, Li Guoyao¡¯s expression suddenly changed.?

    Previously, because a regiment of the Second Corps and an artillery battalion of the Jiang Defense Force were guarding the Wulongshan Fort, the Japanese navy ships did not dare to rush to Nanjing rashly. Now the Second Corps and the Jiang Defense Force have withdrawn, and even the fort has been withdrawn.  If it explodes, Japanese warships can come over.

    Once the opponent's warships arrive at Xiaguan and engage in a flanking attack with the army, the consequences will be disastrous and the entire army will be annihilated.

    In view of this, Li Guoyao immediately said loudly: "Order the Eighth Regiment and the Twelfth Regiment to continue to guard their positions, and the remaining troops will immediately withdraw to the dock and board the ship!"

    "yes!"

    However, after four regiments were taken away at once, there were suddenly less than 3,000 defenders left on the front line. When the little Japanese saw that the last defender was about to flee, they immediately became unhappy and attacked even more frantically.

    Before all the withdrawn troops could board the ship, the front-line position collapsed. But even so, the troops on the defending position did not escape. Instead, under the command of regiment commander Xue Dengyu, they launched a fierce hand-to-hand battle with the Japanese army.

    Standing on the ferry evacuating to Jiangbei, Li Guoyao was heartbroken as he looked at the fighting garrison positions in the distance.

    He knew that the two regiments remaining on the position were finished. He thought of the phone call he made to Xue Dengyu when he was about to retreat. When he ordered the 8th Guards Regiment and the 12th Regiment to cover each other and retreat to the dock one kilometer away, that stubborn  The Hunan man actually refused.

    There may be a chance of survival if they withdraw from the position, but now the brothers from several other regiments have just boarded the ship and have not yet left the shore too far. If they withdraw, the little devils will follow them to the shore. In that case  The Japanese artillery could threaten the boats in the river. Not only would they die, but the troops crossing the river would also suffer. So he decided to lead two remnant regiments and fight with the Japs until the last soldier to cover them.  The main force evacuated.

    Li Guoyao knew very well that staying here would not mean a narrow escape, but a tenth chance of death. With the kid's crazy urination, even if Xue Dengyu and the others surrendered on their own initiative, they would not be able to escape death.

    Li Guoyao believed that Xue Dengyu and the brothers who stayed behind also knew it, but they still chose to stay. Although not everyone was willing to die, when the moment came, they did not choose to escape, but stood up bravely.  The real hero is to fight against the enemy and sacrifice his own life in exchange for the survival of his comrades.

    In life, we will always encounter various natural and man-made disasters.  In the face of disaster, each of us will instinctively feel fear.

    But when faced with fear, people tend to behave differently.  Some people will cowardly retreat due to fear, while some people will turn fear into strength and move forward against the current. Those who choose to retreat are not necessarily cowards, but those who choose to face difficulties must be heroes.

    It is precisely because of such a group of heroes who dare to sacrifice themselves that even if the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, even if they face the shining bayonets of the little devils, the Chinese people will still not give in because they have role models in front of them.

    Li Guoyao secretly swore that today¡¯s revenge will be avenged in the future, and he will pay back the little devil a thousand times!

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away.

    "Congratulations to the host for completing the triggering task "covering the retreat of the main force", a reward of 2000 points will be given, and a lucky draw opportunity!"

    Hearing the long-lost sound of the system, Li Guoyao took a deep breath. The mission was finally completed!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
