Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Chapter 167 Retreat to Chunhua Town

In the end, Yoshiyoshi Akiyama did not bring Yasuyuki Okamoto with him, because he was not from the 9th Division after all.

After suffering such heavy losses during their support mission, the brigade commander Yoshiyoshi Akiyama had no face to keep them.

However, the commander of the cavalry regiment, Mori Goroku, was unlucky. The regiment of more than a thousand people was reduced to more than two hundred. This result made Akiyama Yoshiyoshi very angry.

So Sen Wuliu got a good beating without any discount.

The 9th Division suffered heavy losses this time, and the division commander, Yoshizumi Ryosuke, looked like a volcano about to erupt.

It's almost in a state of exploding at any moment.

Still furious, he ordered an overnight attack on Chunhua Town, determined to capture it in one fell swoop.

Under the crazy attack of the Japanese, Wang Yaowu was naturally in great pain.

Even with the assistance of heavy artillery, the battle was extremely difficult.

"Reporting to the division commander, Commander Ji and Commander Gu have led their troops through the Japanese blockade and have entered Chunhua Town."

A soldier reported to Wang Yaowu.

At this time, Wang Yaowu's eyes were red and he was obviously very tired. It can be said that both sides were very uncomfortable after the whole battle.

"Let Captain Ji and Changfeng come over to meet them."

After hearing that the two had evacuated safely and entered Chunhua Town, Wang Yaowu finally cheered up a little.

"It's a big risk to stay in Hushu, and I don't know what the outcome will be."

Wang Yaowu said softly.

There were many people in the command center, but only Gao Ling, who was standing next to him, heard it and couldn't help laughing.

"Commander, with over 10,000 Japanese soldiers besieging Huxu, it's already quite good that we were able to escape unscathed."

"From Captain Ji's previous battle report, at least one of the Japanese cavalry regiments was crippled."

"As for the other results of the battle, Captain Ji probably doesn't know either."

Wang Yaowu walked back and forth twice, then sighed heavily and said.

"The 301st Regiment is almost crippled. Let them rest for a while!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Hongru became unhappy and spoke loudly.

"Commander, I still have several hundred brothers in the 301st Regiment. There's no need to rest."

He and Gu Changfeng were just about to enter the door when they heard Wang Yaowu say this!

Apart from having a small number of people, his combat effectiveness is not bad. He has a full range of weapons and a decent amount of ammunition.

At least I can eat a few bites of meat by following Gu Changfeng.

Ji Hongru thought to himself, without stopping, he walked to Wang Yaowu and saluted first, then said.

"Commander, we achieved good results this time. The support troops of the Japanese 6th Division were crippled."

"What?" Two exclamations made everyone in the command center look towards them.

"The Japanese 6th Division should be a regiment. They fought with us again half an hour ago."

"A conservative estimate is that there should be only a few thousand devils left."

Gu Changfeng continued.

This time I gained a lot from staying here, mainly in terms of points, which have now skyrocketed to more than 9400.

This proves that at least 4000 Japanese soldiers were killed in this battle, and they were killed by his subordinates.

If you really add it up, the Japanese lost another regiment this time.

If everything could go so smoothly every time, the Japanese would probably have to flee in disgrace within a few years.

Of course, Gu Changfeng was just thinking about it, and he would have to take it slowly to realize it.

"Changfeng, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

Wang Yaowu was extremely shocked, but he did not doubt the authenticity of this matter.

Gu Changfeng nodded slightly and said with a smile.

"The difference is not big. The Japanese 6th Division supported a regiment, and it should have been crippled."

He didn't check it specifically, and this thing is just a feeling based on the points, so how can it be that accurate?

Ji Hongru interjected, "The heavy artillery that Changfeng had prepared earlier, with over 100 rounds of shells, were all given to these devils."

Thinking about the noise of that violent explosion, he still feels a little scared.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yaowu turned to look at Gu Changfeng and asked, "What kind of heavy artillery are you preparing? Let's go and take a look."

He was really curious, how could more than a hundred artillery shells cripple an entire Japanese regiment?

Gu Changfeng said happily: "Commander Wang, we have no shells left. What's so good about a few vehicles?"

It's almost like a toothless tiger now, there's really nothing to see.

"Where did you come from?" Wang Yaowu looked at Gu Changfeng seriously.

Gu Changfeng was startled, then smiled and replied, "Master Wang, this is my secret, so don't try to find any clues."

"Can we still get some shells?" Wang Yaowu continued to ask.

He didn't necessarily want to get to the bottom of it, but the main reason was that this thing was related to whether he could defend Chunhua Town.

Gu Changfeng nodded and shook his head, thought for a while and said.

"We can definitely get the shells, but it probably won't be that soon."

He knew what Wang Yaowu meant, but he didn't want to defend Chunhua Town, so it didn't make much sense.

It would be better to guard Niu Shou Mountain than to guard this place.

"Oh." Wang Yaowu sighed and stopped talking helplessly.

"Commander Wang, let's just defend this place. The Japanese have too many troops. There's no need to fight them to the death!"

Gu Changfeng reminded him that if Wang Yaowu was not going to leave, he would plan to change his position.

According to his thinking, there is really no need to defend one place!

"Let's wait and see until tomorrow. The Japs won't be able to break through here in a short time."

Wang Yaowu felt a little heavy-hearted.

The fortifications were dug for so long just to have a chance to fight the Japanese.

As a result, there were too many Japanese soldiers who directly surrounded Chunhua Town, which completely failed his plan.

"Okay, you have the final say. I will let my men join the battle."

Gu Changfeng glanced at the map and said, "Let's leave the Japs in the south to us!"

Wang Yaowu nodded in agreement. It didn't matter where they went now, because they were facing the elite Japanese invaders.

Gu Changfeng didn't think too much about it. The main reason was that they were old rivals, and it would be nice to kill them to reduce their fighting spirit.

The few of them then discussed some details, and then Gu Changfeng left the command center.

After resting for several days, Gu Changfeng's subordinates are in good condition.

After finding the communications team that had evacuated in advance, Gu Changfeng asked, "Has there been any news from the special forces?"

When the telecommunications squad soldier saw that it was Gu Changfeng, he immediately stood up and replied.

"Commander Gu, the special forces team just sent a message saying they are safe and are evacuating to the northwest."

Gu Changfeng nodded, as long as the special forces team is fine.

These people have been carefully selected and trained, and it would be troublesome if something happened.

Gu Changfeng did not stay in the telecommunications squad for long. He then found a place where several companies were resting temporarily, called over several company and platoon leaders, and gave them orders directly.

"The Japanese are expected to launch a fierce attack on Chunhua Town tonight. I guess we won't be able to rest."

"We are now taking over the southern defense zone. We will teach the Japanese a lesson tonight and defeat them."

"any questions?"

After Gu Changfeng finished speaking, he glanced at everyone and felt relieved when he saw that everyone was relatively calm.

Huang Zhengkui said with a smile: "Changfeng, I knew you would ask for a mission. How can we fight the Japanese without our brothers?"

He was the type who never got enough of killing Japanese devils, and after staying here for a while, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Especially, they had to watch the soldiers of the 51st Division killing the Japanese.

Gu Changfeng ignored him and asked Lu Daya, "Can the mortar shells still hold up?"

Lu Daya thought for a moment and said, "After several battles, only one-third of the mortar shells are left. The main consumption was actually in the afternoon."

Mortars weren't used much before, mostly just for deterrence.

In the afternoon, we bombarded the mountains and forests and used mortars. This time the consumption was really high, and more than half of the enemies were killed directly.

Gu Changfeng nodded and said, "Almost. Wait for the opportunity to act!"

Then he looked at Li Jie, the platoon leader, and asked.

"Li Jie, how's it going over there? Is it enough?"

Li Jie said directly: "I was just about to report to you. We only have a little over a hundred shells left, barely enough for one round."

"Then don't hold back. We'll probably have to evacuate after tonight. Just clear out the ammunition and kill as many devils as possible."

Gu Changfeng had a plan in mind. At worst, he could just go out again. He had enough points anyway.
