Hundreds of millions of cloud explosive bombs were fired at the beginning, and horses were riding on

This was just the beginning, and the troops encountered a fierce attack. It is hard to imagine how the Japanese position will be attacked later...

Including the commander of the 56th Division, Ono Ichiro, who was also thinking about the defeat of the 232nd position in the future...

"Bakayaloo, bakayaloo... The 232nd position is about to be rushed by the independent column. What's wrong with them? Didn't they say they had formed a suicide squad? Why haven't they been able to resist for so long? If I remember correctly, it's only been three hours. Three hours. And they're about to be rushed. I think they are a bunch of good-for-nothings, eating the free rice of the Great Japanese Empire?"

"Bagayaloo, bagayaloo... they are all a bunch of good-for-nothings. When has my Great Japanese Empire ever encountered such a pathetic thing? When has my 56th Division ever encountered such a pathetic thing? They are simply wasting my kindness to them."

Anyway, the commander of the 56th Division, Ichiro Ono, kept talking here, but everyone on the side knew that the independent column was indeed very strong. How could it be possible for a small infantry battalion to fight against an infantry brigade of nearly troops of the independent column...

Even if he took up the entire 56th Division, he might not be able to take down an infantry brigade on the opposite side.

But at this moment, no one dared to say anything. After all, for them, the former commander of the 56th Division, Ichiro Ono, was still their highest commander. The entire 56th Division had to obey Ichiro Ono's orders.

No one could disobey the orders of Ichiro Ono, so no one present dared to tell the truth. After all, if they told the truth about something, they would most likely be fiercely criticized by others, or even scolded by Ichiro Ono.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Your Excellency, I think we can't continue to fight this battle. We have suffered too much damage. This 232nd position. Looking at the artillery fire in front of us, I think we will never be able to defend it. The combat effectiveness of the independent column is too strong, and the intensity of the artillery fire is too great."

"If we continue to stay here, I think this group of independent columns will definitely turn around and continue to kill us. I think the 56th Division is in a very dangerous situation now. The best way now is to lead our troops to retreat immediately, and then wait for the support of the 72nd Division and our flying unit from other places."

"Your Excellency, the division commander, you must think twice. We cannot stay here for long. We have been fighting for a long time. We were not afraid when facing the 32nd Division of the Central Army and the Song County where they were stationed before. But this group of independent columns is not easy to take down. They have achieved such a great result on the battlefield. We can't take it lightly on this battlefield."

"During this period of time, I also observed their bombardment of us. I found that there are at least hundreds of cannons on the opposite side, and there are probably dozens or even many 105mm caliber howitzers."

"So... Your Excellency, the Division Commander, the only thing we have to do now is to retreat immediately, and take our men with us. This is the only way to have a chance of survival."

When no one else dared to speak, the chief of staff of the 56th Division, Ichiro Ono's confidant, also stood up at this time.

Although everyone present was afraid of Ono Ichiro, the Chief of Staff, as Ono Ichiro's confidant, wanted Ono Ichiro to survive. After all, he was also the Chief of Staff of the entire 56th Division, and the fate of the 56th Division was also related to his fate. Although he was Ono Ichiro's confidant, he had to take his own life into consideration.

Moreover, the chief of staff is not very old and there is still room for promotion. He also wants to hold an important position after returning so that he can get promoted and make money. If he follows Xiao Yilang here, then in most cases, with the defeat of the 56th Division, everyone will disappear in the dust of history.

The chief of staff was quite farsighted in this regard. He had experienced so many things on the battlefield and his thinking was quite advanced. After seeing the strength of the independent column in front of him, he concluded that it was impossible for his 56th Division and the 89th Division of the Fifth Army to be defeated. The independent column in front of him might even be completely annihilated by the other independent column.

So many troops had been lost to the enemy on the battlefield in southwestern Shanxi, so the chief of staff of the 56th Division did not think that his troops could defeat the opposing independent column.

Unless it is a blind cat that catches a dead mouse, unless the 72nd Division can really appear in this place, the flying unit can also really appear in this place.

But all this was unrealistic for the Chief of Staff. He knew the efficiency of his own troops. Although the Commander had already ordered the 72nd Division and the aviation unit to provide support, it would take at least one or two days.

And these one or two days are precisely the most fatal time, because once they reach the battlefield, these one or two days are enough to make the entire 56th Division and the puppet army's 89th Division disappear into thin air.

However, when he said this, everyone who was thinking about him was very surprised. After all, the chief of staff in front of him was also Ono Ichiro's confidant. Ichiro had already made the plan to not give him the illegal building, but the chief of staff had to make the opposite opinion at this time.

They knew Ichiro too well. If they looked like this, it would mean that Ono Ichiro would definitely be angry.

Sure enough, when Ichiro Ono heard his captain say this, he immediately became angry, because in his opinion, the chief of staff in front of him was his confidant... He was the one who promoted him to their current position. It can be said that without him, there would be no chief of staff now.

But the Japanese Chief of Staff actually refuted him like this and criticized him in front of so many people. Doesn't this mean that his plan is not good? Doesn't this mean that his 56th Division is not as good as the independent column in front of him? Doesn't this mean that his 56th Division will be wiped out by this damn independent column in front of him?

So this is why the commander of the Japanese 56th Division, Ichiro Ono, was quite angry.
