Chapter 348: Retreat Quickly
The battalion commander, Major Takeuchi Eiki, was deciding to send reinforcements to reinforce the southern defense line of Shinno. Although the strength of a squadron did not seem to be able to play a big role, sending reinforcements and not sending reinforcements were two different things, and the post-war evaluations would be in two completely opposite directions.
When the battalion commander, Major Takeuchi Eiki, had just ordered his men to assemble the troops, before his troops had finished gathering, he heard the gunfire south of Shinno gradually weakening. This made the battalion commander, Major Takeuchi Eiki, look confused. Has the Chinese army broken through the defense line south of Shinno?
No way, it's only been a short time, and the troops on the southern defense line were wiped out by the Chinese army so quickly? If I send my squadron of troops over there, wouldn't that be a pure suicide mission?
Damn, how many Chinese troops are there? They can break through the defense line south of Xinye in such a short time. I can’t send reinforcements over now.
The Chinese army should launch an attack on us after occupying Xinye. Now we should quickly send people to find the Third Battalion on the other side of the highway and ask them to send people to reinforce us.
Just a few minutes after the battalion commander, Major Eiki Takeuchi, ordered the signalman to go to the position on the other side of the road to notify the Third Battalion to send reinforcements, he heard shouting coming from the north of his position.
The battalion commander, Major Takeuchi Eiki, also quickly came to the north side of the position. When he arrived at the position, he finally heard clearly what the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side were shouting.
"Baga, these are people on the southern defense line of Xinye City. Don't shoot. After they enter the position, start shooting at the Chinese troops chasing behind them." The battalion commander, Major Takeuchi Eiki, saw a group of Japanese soldiers running desperately through a telescope.
Battalion commander, Major Takeuchi Eiki, knew without a second thought that these were soldiers on the southern defense line of Shinno Castle who were retreating to his side after their positions were breached by the Chinese army.
Not far behind these soldiers, the battalion commander, Major Takeuchi Eiki, also saw through the telescope that a large group of Chinese soldiers were chasing these retreating soldiers. He had to make these soldiers retreat to their own positions.
First, you cannot abandon your own soldiers. If you abandon your own soldiers, the morale of the officers and soldiers on your position will be unstable.
Secondly, these retreating soldiers can effectively strengthen the guard force of their defensive positions, making them more confident in holding out until reinforcements arrive.
The officers and soldiers of more than one battalion of the New 100th Division were wearing Japanese military uniforms. They were shouting in the so-called Japanese language which they themselves could hardly understand, and they were a little scared at the same time. If the Japanese army opened fire, they would be in trouble.
As they got closer and closer to the Japanese defensive positions, the officers and soldiers of the new 100th Division, who were disguised as Japanese soldiers, became more and more nervous.
However, the good news is that the Japanese troops on the opposite defensive position should have believed their disguise. Now these fast-running officers and soldiers can hear the shouting from the Japanese position. Although no one can understand what the shouting means, it feels like it means for them to quickly run into the position.
The battalion commander, Major Takeuchi Eiki, also arrived near the front line. He needed to personally command the upcoming charge by the Chinese army.
Ten meters, five meters, they rushed into the Japanese defensive position and started fighting.
Ouyang Heng was watching the attacking troops in front of him with a telescope. When he saw that the disguised attacking troops had successfully rushed into the Japanese defense position, he excitedly ordered: "Let the troops behind speed up the charge, rush to the Japanese defense position, and wipe out all the Japanese troops."
The battalion commander, Major Takeuchi Eiki, is now very angry. The Chinese army actually deceived his kind heart. These soldiers who ran over are Chinese soldiers in disguise.
This was a problem. These Chinese soldiers had already rushed into their defensive positions. Moreover, all their troops who had been at the first line of defense had been killed by the Chinese army without any resistance or preparation. Now their defensive forces were even weaker.
"Quick, stop the attack of the Chinese army. These are all disguises of the Chinese army." The battalion commander, Major Takeuchi Eiki, shouted loudly to the soldiers who were still a little dazed.
Now we must drive the Chinese army out of the position as quickly as possible, otherwise when the follow-up attack forces of the Chinese army arrive to reinforce, we will be the ones to retreat.
The officers and soldiers of the new 100th Division who rushed into the Japanese positions were also very excited and used bayonets to eliminate all the Japanese defensive forces that greeted them. This attack was too successful.
Originally, it was thought that the troops would suffer some losses, but unexpectedly, after all the Japanese front-line defense forces were wiped out, the attacking force only had one person killed and five injured. This made everyone very happy.
As the subsequent reinforcements of the new 100th Division entered the Japanese positions, all the officers and soldiers of the 116st Battalion of the th Regiment of the Japanese Army immediately felt tremendous pressure.
The defensive positions of the 100st Battalion were gradually occupied by the offensive forces of the new th Division. The battalion commander, Major Eiki Takeuchi, saw this situation. Although he was extremely anxious, he currently had no good way to solve this problem.
The battalion commander, Major Takeuchi Eiki, is now hoping that the Third Battalion on the highway position will send reinforcements as soon as possible. All he can do is try to hold on for a little longer.
Major Takeuchi Eiki knew very well that if no reinforcements arrived, it would be a matter of time before his position was lost. If he had not known that he would have reinforcements, the battalion commander, Major Takeuchi Eiki, would have retreated with the remaining officers and soldiers long ago. It would be impossible for such a small number of people to withstand such a large-scale attack from the Chinese army.
The battalion commander, Major Takeuchi Eiki, also ordered the remaining officers and soldiers to fight and retreat slowly. He now only needed to buy time. As long as his troops were still in the trenches of the position when the reinforcements arrived, it would be considered a success.
When the battalion commander, Major Takeuchi Eiki, led his officers and soldiers to the last trench on the south side of the position, Major Takeuchi Eiki was also anxious. The soldiers sent to ask for help from the Third Battalion had been gone for a long time. According to the time, the reinforcements of the Third Battalion should be on the way.
However, they were unable to hold on to their positions any longer. Now there was only a small team of officers and soldiers left beside the battalion commander, Major Eiki Takeuchi, who was barely resisting the advance of the New 100th Division's troops in the positions. But this weak defensive force was completely incapable of blocking the New 100th Division's attack.
