Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Because Yang Zhenhua made some noise on the battlefield from time to time, the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield outside the city did not notice that Gu Changfeng and his group had secretly escaped.

Just when the Japanese were still rejoicing that Gu Changfeng did not continue to attack them, fierce artillery fire suddenly came from the direction of the Neicun Squadron.

The experienced Tachikawa Hengxi immediately knew what was going on and couldn't help but get angry.

"Damn it! These Chinese are so cunning."

Mizoguchi Gengo's face also looked very unhappy, and he said to Tachikawa Tsuneki.

"Tachikawa-kun, these Chinese are too difficult to deal with!"

In one sentence, the tone was set for Gu Changfeng and his group!

He understood that it was impossible to request support from the flying squadron at this time, as the brigade's support was still on the way.

Even if he mobilized his squadron, there was no guarantee that the enemy's target would not be them.

Even if the squadron here goes to support, will they really be able to make it in time?

This question has no solution...

"Baga, immediately send a telegram to the Uchimura Squadron to break out."

Tachikawa Tsuneki was so angry that he was about to explode. He had been on the battlefield for many years and had never experienced such a situation.

Mizoguchi Gengo replied bitterly.

"Tachikawa-kun, it's too late. With the firepower of those Chinese, since they've targeted the Uchimura Squadron, there's no way they can escape."

"We can't even get support now."

He couldn't remember how many squadrons were sent up, and they were defeated and sent back soon after.

Tachikawa Tsuneki opened his mouth, a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart. After a pause, he could only give the last order to the Uchimura Squadron.

He is not stupid. The strength of this unit can be seen from the fact that the Jiangdao Battalion and the Tianbei Company were severely damaged.

Breakout?

How is it possible to break out?

He just said it subconsciously, and he knew the truth very well.

"Tachikawa-kun, hurry up, telegraph the commander immediately. We need to break out now."

Mizoguchi Gengo suddenly said in shock.

Tachikawa Tsuneki was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

They now only have three understaffed squadrons, but before, they dared to fight a division.

Now we dare not even think about it. If we stay, we will be attacked from both sides and then die together. There is no other way.

It would be better to take advantage of this time to evacuate quickly and retain some strength.

As for whether he would use the trump card he had hidden before, it was no longer important now, and he was not sure that he could win this battle.

It can be said that the decision of these devils was very wise, otherwise Gu Changfeng would really have planned this.

.........

On the other side, after several rounds of artillery fire, Gu Changfeng immediately ordered the charge.

With the support of several big guns and rocket launchers, the Japanese couldn't make much waves at all.

At this point, Uchimura finally understood why a large battalion of troops ended up fighting like this.

Before, he was somewhat happy. His mission was to delay time, and he was happy to be perfunctory with the enemy. Both sides fought like they were playing.

Now, we are surrounded on all sides, and the enemy is charging. How can we run?

"Break out to the west." Uchimura ordered harshly, ignoring the telegram's order.

He still wants to live and continue fighting for the empire.

So, he chose to break out in the direction where the firepower was weakest.

Take a gamble, maybe there is still hope of survival.

His opponent was Luo Xiong's fourth company. Uchimura did not make a mistake, but unfortunately that was all.

Luo Xiong is not stupid, he is just impulsive sometimes.

Although Gu Changfeng did not inform him to cooperate, he immediately understood what was going on when the Japanese artillery fire sounded.

As soon as the shelling stopped, he ordered, "Brothers, Commander Gu is here to support us. Follow me and charge to wipe out these little devils."

The soldiers of the Fourth Company were already filled with rage. Seeing the other companies fighting so well, while they were just playing house, it was hard for anyone to feel comfortable.

When they heard the order, they charged towards the Japanese without caring about their lives, and bullets from their guns kept hitting the Japanese.

The Japanese were surrounded from all sides and the battle lasted only seven or eight minutes.

Obviously, Captain Uchimura lost the bet.

Luo Xiong likes to hide his tricks and then give the Japanese a big blow at the end.

This time, he won again.

There were more than ten Type 99 rifles in total, including those captured on the battlefield and the remaining ones they had.

The Uchimura Squadron suffered heavy casualties in the first attack!

And when Uchimura died, his eyes were still wide open...

On the city wall.

Wang Yaowu couldn't help but smile as he looked at the large Japanese army that was willing to evacuate at the cost of more Japanese soldiers.

"Our support commander miscalculated."

Gao Ling also laughed and said, "Commander, this unit is quite strong. They actually scared away several squadrons of Japanese soldiers just like that!"

Wang Yaowu nodded: "Let's go! It's time for us to go meet the commander."

He was a little excited and curious at this time.

He has been paying attention to both battlefields. It can be said that if it were not for the support troops, it would be difficult for them to hold on today.

This favor was a great favor to Wang Yaowu.

"Commander Gu, the Japanese outside the city have retreated." The scout reported.

Gu Changfeng smiled slightly and said, "These devils are quite cautious. They know that if they don't run now, they will not be able to escape."

He didn't feel sorry for the Japanese running away, as he had already fought almost to the bitter end today.

The results of the battle were good, and the purpose of training troops was also achieved.

He believed that after such a battle, the soldiers would have a tacit understanding.

Zhao Ziqing said with a smile: "Clean up the battlefield and let's withdraw. Don't wait for the devils to return. That would be troublesome."

At this moment, another soldier came to report that the commander of the city garrison had arrived.

It made everyone a little dazed.

Gu Changfeng himself did not find it strange and ordered the soldiers to invite them over.

A group of seven or eight people, led by Wang Yaowu, walked into the battlefield. There were still many Japanese corpses on the ground that had not been dealt with.

Wang Yaowu took a look, then looked at the few people standing there and asked with a smile.

"Brothers, where is your commander? Can you come out and see him?"

With the dim light of the fire, he was able to see the faces of several people clearly. They all looked very young, which was why he asked such questions.

Gu Changfeng replied: "This is not the place to talk, come with us!"

Then he said to Wu Mazi and Luo Xiong, "Clean up the battlefield quickly and meet at Old Zhou's later."

"Yes, Commander Gu." The two responded in succession.

Yang Zhenhua from the second company had already sent soldiers to notify them, and Gu Changfeng did not give Wang Yaowu a chance to refuse.

He just carried his gun and left the battlefield.

Liu Dazhuang and Zhao Ziqing were also worldly-wise, so they ignored Wang Yaowu and just followed him away.

Wang Yaowu was stunned. He didn't expect this group of people to treat him like this!

He is a division commander in the National Army and a high-ranking official, but why does he feel like an uninvited guest here?

Gao Ling saw this and anger showed on his face, and he was about to open his mouth to scold.

Wang Yaowu then held on and said with a self-deprecating laugh, "We are indeed not as good as them in fighting, but they have the capital to be arrogant."

"Let's go! I want to see who these people are."

He didn't expect that the meeting he had been looking forward to would turn out like this. It was so different from what he had imagined!

Gao Ling shook his head and said, "This is really..."

Although he was dissatisfied with Gu Changfeng's attitude, he was convinced by his fighting ability and didn't know what to say at this time.

Return to the temporary camp.

Zhao Ziqing spoke first: "Old Zhou, get something to eat. We've been fighting since this afternoon and I'm starving!"

When Zhou Qianli saw that the group returned safely, he felt relieved and said happily.

"Everything is ready. We can't make a fire here, so let's eat some canned food!"

Zhao Ziqing waved his hand: "Anything is fine, I'm not picky. I killed a lot of devils today, so I have to eat two more cans."

"Ha ha!"

His words caused laughter in the camp.

Gu Changfeng twitched the corner of his mouth and said helplessly: "There are guests here, do you really think they don't exist?" Then he turned his head away.

Zhou Qianli only saw Wang Yaowu and his group at this moment, and immediately asked in confusion: "Changfeng, who are these people?"

"City defenders, please treat us, Old Zhou, and let's go eat something." Gu Changfeng said casually and walked into the tent.

When Wang Yaowu met the real person, he didn't care about Gu Changfeng's attitude and greeted Zhou Qianli with a smile.

"What? You are the commander of the 51st Division, Wang Yaowu?"

After Gao Ling finished introducing Wang Yaowu, Zhou Qianli exclaimed, obviously having heard of Wang Yaowu's name.

Wang Yaowu smiled and nodded, saying, "That's me."

He now also saw Zhou Qianli's shoulder straps clearly, and felt more confident about his plan.

"Come, come, Commander Wang, sit inside."

Zhou Qianli warmly invited Wang Yaowu and others into the tent.
