Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

"Xiao Wu, Lao Huang, organize the special forces and machine gunners to find a place for an ambush."

Since Gu Changfeng had successfully led his troops to break through, he would naturally not let go of the Japanese soldiers who were pursuing them.

"Yes, Brother Gu."

Xiaowu replied loudly, and then began to organize the scattered team members.

Huang Zhengkui didn't say anything, but silently picked up the heavy machine gun and began to prepare.

This time, the special forces raided a large Japanese force alone, and nearly half of them were killed or wounded. Only about half of the more than 300 people are left.

The situation in each company is not very good either. There are only about 600 people left out of more than 300 people.

"It's time for us to set off." Lu Daya whispered to the soldiers to prepare to break out.

The cars were too big a target, so they did not follow the first group to break out.

They had to wait until the Japanese were attracted by the companies and then quickly pass through the weak defense on the right side.

Indeed, there are not many Japanese soldiers left in the original place now, and most of them have gone out to pursue.

"Damn it, there are Chinese here." A Japanese squad leader shouted angrily.

Then he raised the Type 38 rifle in his hand and shot at the oncoming car.

Da da da!

Bang bang bang!

The escorting soldiers began to fight back at the Japanese, and the artillerymen with tortoise shells on the vehicles were also busy. For a moment, the whole area became lively again.

The artillery company was guarded by 30 machine gunners, and the remaining Japanese soldiers did not allow the artillery company to stay for long before their defense line was broken through.

By the time the remaining Japanese soldiers reacted and provided support, the artillery company had already passed through the Japanese defense zone.

"Baga, this is the Chinese artillery camp."

After hearing the soldier's report, Akiyama Yoshiyoshi was furious.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, please report to the division headquarters. This time, we have been defeated."

Although he didn't want to admit it, the facts were before him and Tian Gu, the staff officer, had to admit failure.

Especially after the Chunhua garrison troops broke through.

"No, we haven't failed yet. Order the tanks to pursue immediately. I want these Chinese to die without a burial place!"

Yoshitomo Akiyama's face was distorted and he looked like a madman. He was unwilling to admit this result.

In addition, during the siege of Chunhua Town, the entire division lost more than half of its troops, and some of them even ran away. How could he accept this?

Shixi Tiangu looked at the brigade commander, sighed softly in his heart, and went to make arrangements.

In his opinion, this operation was a complete failure, and further pursuit would only be a waste of time. It would be better to regroup and compete again next time.

As for whether anyone would be unlucky, that was not within his consideration.

The special forces team quickly found their position, and with the addition of heavy machine guns from each company, it was a simple one.

They just took the opportunity to ambush the Japanese and kill a few of them before running away. The special forces didn't have so many requirements.

Da da da.

After the soldiers from each company passed through, the sound of machine guns rang out in unison. The Japanese soldiers were caught off guard and rushed into the ambush circle. Dozens of them died in an instant!

"Baga, the Chinese are so evil." The Japanese squadron leader shouted angrily.

But he could do nothing but get angry. The other person ran away after firing a round of bullets, and he had to follow behind and eat dust.

Such a pursuit was no longer important to Gu Changfeng. Instead, the Japanese left behind one or two hundred corpses.

The sky gradually brightened. The Japanese soldiers were exhausted and looked helplessly at Gu Changfeng's troops in front of them.

They couldn't catch up with the enemy, and their companions were killed from time to time. These Japanese soldiers never wanted to fight this kind of battle in their entire lives.

"Reporting to His Excellency the Captain, the brigade headquarters has sent an order for the main force to return for reinforcements."

The signalman who made this report showed obvious joy on his face.

Yoshizumi Ryosuke seemed to see through their thoughts and directly ordered Akiyama, the brigade commander, to return for support.

"Hi!"

The Japanese squadron leader bowed and then organized the soldiers to return.

The battle is over!

Yoshizumi Ryosuke's siege of Chunhua Town was in vain, and Wang Yaowu only left him with an empty town.

The defeat of the entire 9th Division this time can be said to have given the Japanese army a very bad start in their siege of Nanjing.

Yoshizumi Ryosuke also knew this, but since it was a fact, he could only wait for the headquarters' decision.

When the old Japanese soldier Matsui received this news, he was naturally very angry.

The 9th Division was a regular Type A division with more than troops, but it was defeated in the battle of Chunhua Town, which made him doubt Yoshizumi Yoshisuke's ability.

Of course, this matter had nothing to do with Gu Changfeng. Seeing that the Japanese had retreated, he evacuated directly to Jinling.

Liao Lei, who was stationed at Zhonghua Gate, was so happy to see Gu Changfeng return safely that he could not express it in words.

He laughed loudly and said to Gu Changfeng, "You guys have done a great job this time. You managed to break through the heavy enemy siege!"

"How is the 51st Division doing?"

Gu Changfeng was a little worried about the situation on Wang Yaowu's side, so he asked directly.

"The breakout was successful, but the losses were substantial. The 302nd Regiment was crippled, and the 305th Regiment isn't doing very well either."

Liao Lei has been paying attention to this matter and answered it with ease.

Gu Changfeng nodded, as long as he could break through successfully.

The direction of this battle is almost entirely dependent on him, and he doesn't want to kill this general at this stage!

"Okay, you guys must be tired after fighting all night."

"Come on, I'll take you guys to eat something and then have a good rest."

Liao Lei's smile remained unchanged. Since Gu Changfeng chose to come to him, how could he let him escape? He must stay and fight the Japanese!

"Commander Liao, wait a moment." Gu Changfeng stopped him.

Liao Lei was stunned and asked in confusion: "What?"

Gu Changfeng said directly: "My artillery company hasn't returned yet, please help."

Then he called the soldiers from the communications squad and asked them to try to contact the artillery company.

"I'll let Guangyi go pick them up. You guys go and rest first. Leave this to me."

Liao Lei had been paying close attention to the Chunhua Town battlefield, so he naturally knew how impressive the performance of the artillery company under Gu Changfeng was.

"Okay, then I'll trouble Commander Liao." Gu Changfeng thanked him.

Now that his worries were resolved, he had nothing to worry about and followed Liao Lei to their camp to rest.

The soldiers of the communications squad quickly got in touch with the artillery company, and then Liao Guangyi personally led a team to provide support.

Gu Changfeng no longer had to worry about these things. After the meal, he called the chief officers of each company to a meeting.

"Tell me about the damage this time!"

Yang Zhenhua stood up heavily and spoke slowly.

"The first company suffered the greatest losses, with only 53 personnel left. The second, third, and fourth companies combined only had 230 personnel. It can be said that the losses were enormous."

"There are less than 200 members left in the special forces team." Xiaowu stood up and said with red eyes.

Gu Changfeng nodded slightly and said, "Don't be so sad. Our brothers died for a good cause. The Japanese suffered much more casualties than us!"

Although he felt bad, this was a war and there were bound to be casualties.

Especially when facing so many Japanese troops!

He had thought about breaking out with Wang Yaowu before, but with so many people together, the Japanese would never give up.

That's why he chose a relatively difficult path.

Facts have proved that if one breaks out with Wang Yaowu, the chance of being crippled is even greater, but his current outcome is still relatively good.

"Changfeng, what should we do next?" Huang Zhengkui asked.

"Stay here with Commander Liao and wait for an opportunity. I have to go out when I have time in the next two days."

Gu Changfeng has his own thoughts, and it’s hard to say at this stage.

"We've used a lot of shells and bullets this time, so get more."

Zhao Ziqing spoke, he knew that Gu Changfeng was going to get something done again.

"I'll take a look after the goods arrive. How would I know what's in them?"

Gu Changfeng glanced at Zhao Ziqing and said that this guy suddenly said this, which made him a little nervous.

Yang Zhenhua echoed, "Commander Gu, after this battle, we are indeed running low on all kinds of bullets."

Gu Changfeng waved his hand and said, "You guys sort out all the guns and ammunition, and I'll figure out a solution when the time comes!"

If we have enough points again, we can be a bit extravagant, but our focus will have to be more on defense, which is something we still need to think about.
