    When they received the order from the division headquarters, Lu Dingan and others were stunned!

    They couldn¡¯t understand what the division headquarters meant. They managed to defeat Wanquan City, so why should they withdraw?

    Although the Japanese army is powerful, their 177th Division is not a vegetarian. The whole division has 30,000 troops. Although their first brigade is disabled, the second and third brigades and the troops directly under the division are unscathed.

    What¡¯s more important is that the division commander Zhang Tengjiao actually told them to just retreat, and they didn¡¯t need weapons, equipment and logistics supplies. Wouldn¡¯t they be pulled out and killed by the headquarters this time?

    Although there are many doubts in my heart, their first brigade is indeed no match for the Japanese army at the moment.

    Judging from the information reported in the preface, the Japs are in full force this time. Not only do they have hundreds of tanks, they also have a large number of elite infantry. They have obviously received reinforcements.

    At the moment, Lu Dingan ordered two companies to stay behind to block the attack, and the remaining troops to withdraw immediately.

    As for all the baggage and heavy equipment, burn or blow them up. What they can't take away can't be left to the little devils.

    Wan Quan. Japanese Army Command Headquarters.

    Ring ring ring

    The phone rang again, and Minetaro Yoshida immediately picked it up: "Moxi Moxi, headquarters!"

    "Reporting to the brigade commander, your Excellency, the attack of that person has been defeated, and the other party is in retreat. Please ask for instructions from the front line whether to pursue it or not?"

    Yoshida Minetaro immediately said: "Our unit will continue to stay in Wanquan City, and the pursuit will be handled by the 35th Division!"

    "Hai!"

    After hanging up the phone, Yoshida Minetaro said to Harada Kumayoshi: "Your Excellency, division commander, it seems that the frontline troops have finished their work!"

    Harada Xiongyoshi laughed and said: "Yo Xi, in order to win this battle, your brigade has made a lot of sacrifices. I will personally report your brigade's record to the front army headquarters. If nothing goes as expected, after a while  You will not be promoted to a division-level combat unit. I am here to congratulate Yoshida-kun on your promotion to Lieutenant General Division Commander."

    "Thank you very much, Division Commander, for your cultivation!"

    At this moment, Yoshida Minetaro suddenly felt that all the sacrifices were worth it!

    Harada Xiongyoshi laughed loudly and said: "Yoshida-kun, I leave the complete defense to you. I want to go to the front, and I want to personally command the imperial warriors to occupy the Japanese headquarters!"

    "Hai!"

    Dividing line

    From Wanquan to Masikou, it is more than 40 kilometers and takes six hours.

    Lu Ding'an never thought that he would be in such a mess. During the retreat, he kept thinking about the battles of the past few days. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

    First, the behavior of the division headquarters in the past few days has been very abnormal. First, before the battle began, they transferred the two most powerful battalions of their brigade away from the brigade headquarters, but added two new battalions, and then ordered their brigade to fight hard.  , not caring about the casualties of the frontline troops.

    In just three days, their brigade lost more than 5,000 people. Adding today's losses, I'm afraid even 6,000 people can't stop it.

    And their entire brigade totaled only more than 9,000 people, and they lost two-thirds of them in one fell swoop. This can no longer be described as crippling.

    More importantly, the Japanese counterattack just now was too sharp. Their brigade's only artillery battalion and baggage troops were all destroyed. So many artillery, ammunition, and food were either blown up or fell into the hands of the Japanese.

    At this time, there were only more than 2,000 people left around him. The rest either stayed to block the attack or dispersed on the road.

    Lu Ding'an felt extremely aggrieved at this time. The reinforcements from the Japs had arrived, but they didn't get any news. After this battle, the first brigade might be finished.

    "Compared to Lu Ding'an's bad mood, Harada Xiongyoshi is in a very comfortable mood at this time!

    In the battle a few hours ago, they were waiting for work and easily defeated the 177th Division, one of the three main forces under Li Guoyao. Not only did they eliminate a large number of enemy troops, they also chased the opponent all the way.

    Along the way, they not only found a large number of firearms discarded by the enemy, but also found an abandoned artillery position not far from the opponent's headquarters. The remains of 8 Type 92 infantry guns and 8 Type 41 mountain guns.  Stay where you are quietly.

    It was blown up by the Japanese themselves. Apparently the other party¡¯s commander realized that he could not escape with these heavy equipment, so he ordered the bombing.

    Later, they found a batch of supplies that were being engulfed by the fire. After some rescue, they finally snatched tens of thousands of kilograms of grain and a large number of potatoes from the raging fire.

      This was obviously a logistics convoy belonging to that person. Since it could not be taken away, it was also burned.

    At this time, Harada Kumayoshi was completely convinced that the 177th Division had indeed been defeated by them and was running for his life in a hurry.

    ¡°Subsequently, under the order of Harada Xiongyoshi, a large number of Japanese troops pursued Xinghe.

    Finally, at around ten o'clock in the evening, the Japanese army easily occupied the unguarded Huai'an County.

    But Harada Xiongyoshi did not stop at Huai'an. He just asked the troops to send a report to Yoshida Minetaro behind him, asking him to send people to immediately take over the city defense of Huai'an, while he continued to command the troops to pursue westward.

    ¡°What Harada Xiongji didn¡¯t know was that Zhang Tengjiao had already laid a dragnet here in the Masikou Canyon not far from Huai¡¯an, waiting for them to take the bait.

    Although Mashikou is not well-known, it became famous not long ago. The last time it was here, Li Guoyao personally commanded the main force and wiped out the independent mixed second brigade plus a tank regiment of the North China Front.  here.

    Today, Zhang Tengjiao also set up an ambush here, and their target is Harada Xiongyoshi's 35th Division.

    In order to lure Harada's troops to take the bait, Zhang Tengjiao did not hesitate to use Lu Ding'an's brigade as bait. Even before the war, Zhang Tengjiao did not reveal his plan to Lu Ding'an, but blindly let them attack.

    Because Zhang Tengjiao knew that although Harada Xiongyoshi had a bad temper and was headstrong, he was truly talented and learned, and was by no means comparable to ordinary idiot generals.

    If Lu Dingan knew the battle plan in advance, he would inevitably have the intention to preserve his strength. Once Harada Xiongji saw through it, it would not be easy for the other party to take the bait.

    "If we can't wipe out the 35th Division and rely on the troops to fight all the way, then by the time we reach Zhangjiakou, the 177th Division will probably be wiped out.

    Although Zhang Tengjiao felt very distressed that the first brigade was crippled, for the sake of the overall situation, he could only choose to sacrifice them.

    When Lu Dingan and others passed by the Mashikou ambush position, they finally met up with the large army.

    But Zhang Tengjiao did not let them stop around the battlefield. Instead, he asked them to continue running forward and rest in Gaomiaozi in front, and told them that the division headquarters would take over the next thing.
