The Japanese sentry stood up and nodded, his face full of aggrievedness: "Reporting to Your Excellency, Colonel, I have been guarding the position and have not found any trace of the enemy."
"Nani?" Yumuling's heart trembled, and she suddenly reacted and shouted at the top of her voice: "No, there is a tunnel, and the Chinese dug the tunnel!"
"Tamaki-kun, Tamaki-kun." Hoshizora Yuno ran to Tamaki Ling in disgrace: "What's going on? The Chinese counterattacked?"
Hoshizora Yuno was obviously woken up from her sleep, and the buttons on her clothes were not yet buttoned.
Yumuling shook her head and said harshly: "No, it's a tunnel. The Chinese dug a tunnel leading to the trench."
Tamaki Ling said: "The Chinese attacked us through tunnels..."
"Authentic..." Tamaki Ling murmured.
He suddenly noticed something was wrong. Since the 28th Regiment could throw grenades at them through the tunnel, why didn't they take the opportunity to take back the trench?
"Xingkong Lord, please immediately order all living imperial troops to carefully check whether there are any holes in the trenches!" Tamaki Ling said solemnly.
After a pause, Yumuling asked again: "Where is Lord Yeyue? The imperial army was attacked, why didn't Lord Yeyue react at all?"
Hoshizora Yuno shook her head in confusion.
Before Yuno Hoshizora could ask questions, a lieutenant from the Yeyue Regiment came towards Tamaki Rei in a panic.
Seeing his panicked look, Tamaki Ling suddenly felt something was wrong.
really.
"Colonel Tamaki, Colonel Yeyue, his jade is broken!" the lieutenant said sadly.
"Nani!"
Tamaki Rei and Hoshizora Yuno were so shocked that they didn't even see the enemy's face, and one of their top commanders was killed first.
When they heard the lieutenant talk about the cause of Yeyue Melia's death, both of them felt that his death was too cruel.
Yeyue Meliya felt very novel when she saw this cat ear piercing, and immediately wanted to experience it for herself.
Anyway, what he was thinking was that the 28th Regiment had been surrounded by them, and no matter how powerful the 28th Regiment was, it would be impossible for them to reach the trenches.
But Yeyue Meilia obviously underestimated the capabilities of the 28th Regiment.
When his cat was sleeping in a cat's ear hole, a grenade flew into the cat's ear hole and sent him away without even leaving his body.
"Tamaki-kun, what should we do next?" Hoshizora Yuno looked at Tamaki Ling and asked, "What do you mean by the authentic one just now?"
Tamaki Ling took a deep breath and said: "When the imperial army was attacked just now, the sentries found no trace of the enemy's invasion.
I suspect that the enemy may have dug a passage leading to the trench, which is why the Chinese on the other side are willing to abandon the trench.
These damn Chinese people want to take advantage of our lax defenses and launch an attack on us!"
Tamaki Ling spoke quickly: "Xingkong Jun, don't waste any more time, immediately ask your people to carefully check all the trenches to find the entrance to the tunnel hidden by the Chinese!"
"What about the Yeyue Alliance?" Hoshizora Yuno asked.
"I will handle the Yeyue Alliance side, you don't have to..." Tamaki Ling said.
But before Mr. Tamaki could finish his words, he suddenly heard a harsh scream ringing in his ears.
"Type 92 infantry gun!"
Tamaki Rei and Hoshizora Yuno looked at each other and immediately clung to the trench wall.
next moment.
"Boom." A loud noise suddenly rang in the ears of the two devils, and the violent explosion made their eardrums buzz.
Before they could react, a fierce bombardment from the 28th Regiment's artillery battalion suddenly began.
The Type 92 infantry artillery and mortars fired at the trenches that originally belonged to them at the same time.
The artillery fire spread in the trenches in an instant, with the Tamaki Regiment as the center, and gradually spread towards the two flanks.
"What's going on!" Yuno Hoshizora looked surprised, and looked outside despite the fierce gunfire.
now.
The trenches were covered by artillery fire, and from time to time, a few shells fell into the trenches, knocking out the soldiers nestled in the trenches.
Almost everything visible to the naked eye was blown into a sea of fire.
Tamaki Ling couldn't help but take a breath. The powerful artillery capabilities of the 28th Regiment completely exceeded his expectations.
Originally, he thought that the 28th Regiment's mortars were powerful enough. This was already their upper limit, and Tubal Road could not have better artillery.
But Tamaki Ling never expected that the 28th regiment actually had Type 92 infantry cannons. The army in front of them was just one regiment. Where did they get so many Type 92 infantry cannons.
The current situation no longer allowed Tamaki Ling to think too much. In order to prevent himself from being blown up, he could only stay in the trench without even daring to raise his head.
What surprised him was that the accuracy of the artillery on the opposite side was much higher than that of his troops.
In the short time just now, several mortars had fallen into his trench, killing at least nearly a squad of soldiers.
This is by no means a coincidence, just luck.
Tamaki Ling could clearly feel that these shells were clearly aimed at the trench where they were.
This made Tamaki Ling even more certain that the 28th Regiment's withdrawal from the trenches and its choice to enter the village for defense was a conspiracy, with the purpose of allowing them to be bombed in the trenches.
"Bagayalu, we have fallen into a trap." Yumuling gritted her teeth and said, "We have fallen into a trap, Xingkong Lord, we have fallen into a trap. This is all a conspiracy, a conspiracy against us!"
Even if Tamaki Ling realizes that she has been tricked now, it is already too late.
When Ding Wei led his troops to invite the Japanese in the trenches to eat a wave of grenades, they immediately returned to their base and began to deploy the artillery battalion.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bomb the little devils. How could Ding Wei easily miss it?
After receiving Ding Wei's order to bomb, Wang Chengzhu did not hesitate at all, and directly pulled out all the assets of the artillery battalion, preparing to take care of the group of Japanese soldiers in front of him.
Wang Chengzhu held up his binoculars and smiled from ear to ear as he looked at the trenches that had been blown into a sea of flames.
This is the strength that an artillery battalion should have!
now.
The Japanese troops in the trenches were in chaos. They had been fighting in Zhoujiacun for two days, and they had not been able to take a good rest.
In addition, their successive defeats have caused psychological problems in them. It can be said that the little devils are now only the last straw away from collapse.
The Japanese soldiers in the trenches were holding their heads tightly, and the cats were shivering in the trenches.
The explosions that rang in their ears were like heavy hammers, hitting their chests one after another, stimulating their already weak psychological defenses.
Originally they thought this was an extremely simple battle.
after all.
Three regiments, plus two pseudo-legions, this configuration is just to encircle and suppress one regiment of the Eighth Route Army. No matter how many Eighth Route Army soldiers there are, it will be useless.
But the reality was far beyond their expectations. This battle was much more difficult to fight than they imagined.
Originally, I thought I could hit the opposite Tubal Road, but I didn't expect that I would be the one being hit.
This sense of psychological gap is also one of the reasons why this group of Japanese soldiers have psychological problems.
While the Japanese soldiers were pinned in the trenches and being bombed, Ding Wei sent a message to Kong Jie and Li Yunlong respectively.
Tell them to be ready for battle. It won't take long for the little devils to retreat towards their base.
Not wanting to make a fortune just for himself, Ding Wei decided to give the last of these Japanese soldiers to Li Yunlong and Kong Jie.
There must be several thousand remaining Japanese soldiers, enough for the two of them to eat with their mouths watering.
As for whether the two of them can win, Ding Wei has no doubt in his heart.
A full 15 minutes have passed since the cannon was fired.
Ding Wei didn't believe that the enemy's fighting will and mental state could be so strong that they could persist in the 15-minute bombing despite being unable to take a good rest for two days in the face of successive defeats.
As long as the strength is not too weak, when facing these little devils, it is basically the same as fighting. It is obvious that you get a piece of credit for nothing, and you can also take the opportunity to seize some equipment.
This is indeed the case.
During these 15 minutes, the artillery battalion carried out bombing almost non-stop, and all the Japanese soldiers in the trenches were in danger.
Finally, they couldn't hold on anymore, and the Japanese in one of the trenches were frightened to death by the earth-shattering artillery fire.
They used to enjoy bombing their opponents like this, but when the roles were reversed, the experience was not so good.
Even if they have the spirit of Bushido, they are still ordinary people. When they see their companions who have been with them in the past being bombed to death in front of their eyes, they will still feel fear in their hearts.
Under great psychological pressure, coupled with the fear caused by the shells, the Japanese soldiers in one of the trenches could no longer bear it.
"No more fighting, I want to go home, I want to go home!"
In one of the trenches, a heart-wrenching cry suddenly rang out.
Immediately afterwards, a Japanese soldier suddenly jumped up from the ground and crawled towards the outside of the trench with all his strength.
The Japanese soldiers in the trench were a little dumbfounded when they saw this scene. It wasn't until the first Japanese soldier who escaped disappeared from sight that they gradually came to their senses.
The feeling of defeat spread quickly at this moment.
As soon as this little Japs started, the trench immediately became chaotic. The Japs soldiers who were originally nestled on the ground jumped up from the ground and crawled out with their buttocks stuck out.
This trench originally belonged to the Yeyue Regiment, but Yeyue Melia had long died in the previous sneak attack.
Having lost Yeyue Melia, they felt like they had lost their backbone, which had a huge impact on their combat psychology.
Tamaki Ling did not succeed in appeasing the emotions of the Yeyue Alliance at the first time, which was even more of an inducement to the collapse.
The rout gradually occurred in the trench occupied by the Yeyue Regiment. Even the surviving officers had no way to suppress it.
Because there were so many fleeing soldiers that they couldn't deal with them one by one.
Finally, the situation on Yeyue Alliance's side was seen by Starry Sky Alliance and Tamaki Alliance.
The Japanese soldiers of these two regiments did not know that this was a rout. When they saw someone running out of the trench, they subconsciously thought that they were about to retreat.
Fear is contagious, especially in situations like this.
Because the Yeyue Alliance's retreat was not suppressed immediately, it soon spread to the other two alliances.
More and more Japanese soldiers crawled out of the trenches and ran desperately towards the rear. They were eager to leave here and stay away from this place that gave them nightmares.
…
28th regiment position.
"Commander, look, the little devil is trying to escape!" Sun Desheng was anxious at that time: "Commander, please give the order quickly. You can't say you don't need the cavalry this time, right?"
"That's right, Commander, our cavalry has not been able to make any contribution until now. It's time for us to have a good time." Ma San added.
Ding Wei pondered for a while, then turned to look at a soldier in the command post and said: "Give me the order. In five minutes, the artillery battalion will stop all attacks."
Then, Ding Wei looked at Sun Desheng and Ma San: "After the bombardment is over, you two will each lead a cavalry squadron.
Just drive those little devils in the direction of the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment, remember, don’t chase them too closely, do you understand?”
"Understood!" Sun Desheng and Ma San stood up to accept the order and ran down quickly.
…
The Japanese position was already in chaos.
"What's going on? What happened!"
Tamaki Ling, who realized in hindsight, suddenly discovered that for some reason, the soldiers of the Yeyue Regiment actually ran out of the trench.
It would be fine if they were charging the enemy's position, but they were actually running on the way back. Isn't this just an escape?
Soon, Tamaki Ling discovered that the Star Wing was not much better. In the direction of the trench they occupied, there were also soldiers trying to escape.
The same goes for your own alliance, and there are not a few of them.
Seeing this scene, Tamaki Ling suddenly turned red with anger.
"Bagayalu, these damn guys actually dare to be deserters, hurry up, stop them!" Tamaki Ling drew out her command knife and said viciously.
At this time, Hoshikora Yuno no longer had any thoughts of fighting: "Tamaki-kun, let's just retreat. Now we have no chance."
"Hoshikora-kun, what are you talking about!" Tamaki Ling turned to look at Hoshikora Yuno: "As imperial soldiers, we have only one way, and that is to attack.
If we just retreat like this, wouldn’t it be such a disgrace to the Japanese soldiers? If His Majesty the Emperor knew, how sad he would be!”
"Tamaki-kun, conserve your strength. We will have the strength to fight in the future. The current situation is far unfavorable to us. If we insist on fighting, we don't know what the consequences will be!" Hoshizora Yuno said in a deep voice.
He has deeply realized that it is not a wise choice to continue to fight here. It is better to retreat, recharge his batteries, and continue to lead troops to conquer the 28th Regiment.
Tamaki Ling ignored this, and shouted at the Major beside him: "Go immediately to suppress those soldiers who want to escape. Anyone who dares to escape will be shot on the spot!"
But the major seemed a little hesitant. He had already seen what the current battlefield situation was like. If he persisted, he would only die in vain.
"Your Majesty Colonel, please think again, we can't waste all our troops here!" the Japanese Major dissuaded.
Tamaki Ling hesitated.
Now that the escape was inevitable, he couldn't shoot everyone here.
The sound of gunfire in her ears gradually began to stop, and Yumuling's brain was racing. Should she retreat directly or launch another attack?
