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

"If this is the case, you and I will both be buried in this hellhole. The 56th Division has never encountered such a thing before, and I, Chief of Staff Yamano, have never encountered such a thing before, so this time we must save our lives. Only by saving our lives can we deliver a fatal blow to the independent column in future battles."

Anyway, the Chief of Staff of the 56th Division in front of him kept shouting loudly.

At this moment, there was no light in his heart, and he regretted why he had boasted in front of the commander of the 56th Division, Ichiro Ono, about coming to stop the enemy reinforcements.

If he had argued with the commander of the 56th Division, Koichiro, at that time, he might have saved his life. But now the people of the Independent Column were attacking him from all directions, not to mention the people of the Central Army who were also coming to retaliate.

These people from the Central Army are not good stuff at all. After all, they gave these people from the Central Army a severe beating when they attacked Song County before. Now that they have come back to attack their own troops, their own troops will definitely not get away with anything good.

Anyway, Chief of Staff Shanye became angrier and more scared the more he thought about it. Since things have come to this, he must make a desperate plan.

"We must protect the safety of His Excellency the Division Commander. We must protect His Excellency the Chief of Staff. We will also obey your orders. I will give orders to the remaining two infantry battalions now."

After saying this, the Japanese soldier left in a hurry. At this moment, the four sides were already filled with people from the independent column, and people from the 4nd Division of the Central Army had also rushed up.

At this moment, the commander of the 56th Division had already begun to flee with another troop of two to three thousand people.

Because when the Japanese Chief of Staff Yamano was leading other troops to block the reinforcements, the commander of the 56th Division, Ichiro Ono, had already seen that something was wrong with the situation on the battlefield. The attack of the independent column was too fierce, and the continuous influx of reinforcements had dealt a great blow to their troops. Although he asked the Chief of Staff to go over to block the attack, he was unable to stop them at all.

When the chief of staff led his men to retreat, he also discovered this phenomenon. So he immediately sent people to cover him and retreated quickly...

"Your Excellency, Division Commander... Your Excellency, Division Commander, please take a look. Our Chief of Staff Shanye has been surrounded by them again. This time, there are many people from the Independent Column. You can see that the people on the opposite side are launching a fierce attack... I guess the Chief of Staff can't get out."

At this moment, a staff officer of the 56th Division kept talking beside Ono Ichiro. The people present had just followed Ono Ichiro out. They were still a little scared, and they didn't want to step on this land again, step on this battlefield, for fear that as long as they stepped on this battlefield, they would inevitably suffer a ruthless attack.

Ichiro Ono naturally knew this. After all, as the commander of the 56th Division, it would be too embarrassing if he was not aware of these things.

"The command ability of this Chief of Staff Shanye is really too poor. They are leading an infantry regiment, and an infantry regiment has a size of nearly 4000 people. A force of nearly 4000 million people has been beaten into this state, and we are also stretched to the limit. He is really incompetent. No wonder he has been trying to make us retreat."

"Is he still a citizen of the Great Japanese Empire? Is he still a loyal supporter of the Emperor?... I think it was a mistake for me to send his troops to the front line."

At this moment, Ono Ichiro also put the blame on the 56th Division Chief of Staff...

As long as he could shirk all responsibilities, he would be safe. After returning to his homeland, he would at least be able to get a sinecure.

"The attack of this independent column is too fierce, and there are also people from the Central Army all around. I guess this Central Army must be the 32nd Division of the Central Army that was stationed in Song County before. They have already contacted the independent column. They gave up guarding Song County in order to attract us. Otherwise, with their perseverance in approaching us in Song County for such a long time, they would not give up Song County so easily."

"If they want to give up Song County so easily, then there is only one answer. This independent column must have colluded with them to attract our attention. As long as we take over Song County, they will send a large number of flying troops and artillery units to bomb it."

"This group of people is too cunning. It's also my fault that I didn't know the strength of this independent column. That's why our 56th Division suffered heavy losses and fell into this situation. Otherwise, with the ability of our 56th Division, we will definitely be able to defeat this independent column. Not to mention a small independent column, even if they occupy the county, we can still take it down."

Now Ichiro Ono is still constantly defending himself, and he says these words to convince everyone around him.

After all, Chief of Staff Ono initially requested that the retreat preserve a glimmer of hope, but he disagreed, which led to a series of subsequent events.

"You don't need to blame yourself. The decisions you made were all correct. No one expected that the Independent Column would be so powerful. No one expected that the Independent Column would communicate with the people of the 32nd Division of the Central Army for such a long time. No one expected that they would set a trap for us. And although we have suffered heavy losses now, at least we have escaped."

"It's not too late. As long as we can escape, we will definitely be able to make a comeback. Your Excellency, just wait and see. Okay... as long as the 72nd Division and the aviation unit come to support us, we will be able to strike back. However, the infantry unit led by the chief of staff may be defeated on the battlefield."

"Even if we wanted to rescue them, it would probably be difficult to do so. After all, the independent column's artillery fire was too fierce."
