The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 534 How Is This Possible? (Second more)
Another half a minute passed, and except for the counterattack of the artillery under his command, Nakazu Takeuchi did not hear any other artillery sounds.

The Eighth Route Army who attacked the garrison just now did not respond as if they had disappeared.

Looking at Baogudi not far away, which was already covered by artillery fire, he could only order with a face full of reluctance: "Stop the artillery... The Eighth Route Army has run away..."

Waiting until dawn, the Eighth Route Army never showed up again.

In order to avoid being fooled and pay some unnecessary losses, during the waiting period, Nakasa Takeuchi did not allow anyone to leave the station. It was not until dawn that he saw how fierce the battle between the blocking position and the village was.

On the bloody battlefield, two reinforced squadrons and more than 400 devils fell there in various poses.

More than [-]% of the soldiers didn't even have a complete body left. They were blown to pieces, broken limbs, broken flesh, internal organs... splattered everywhere, bloody...

The corpses of the puppet army are obviously much less than those of the imperial army. It is clear from a glance that many people surrendered to the Eighth Route Army as prisoners during the battle last night.

"Eight Grid Road..."

Nakazuo Takeuchi clenched his fists, his nails were almost digging into his flesh, his veins were bulging, he stared at a pair of big red eyes, and gnashed his teeth and cursed.

The captain of the Second Battalion lowered his head and reported: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, please calm down..."

"The Eighth Route Army is too cunning. They did exactly what you judged. They used the tunnels dug in advance to sneak in under the noses of our army and launched an attack suddenly!"

"Explode with a grenade first, then assault with a rifle!"

"Our troops were killed without even a chance to return their phones..."

"Two infantry squadrons, two mortar squads, two heavy machine gun squads, a total of 452 imperial troops... none of them were spared, all were wiped out..."

"More than 100 people of the Imperial Association Army of the four companies died, and more than 200 people were missing..."

"All the weapons and ammunition equipped by our army are also missing. A total of eight mortars, eight heavy machine guns, 24 light machine guns, more than 600 rifles, more than 1000 bullets of various types, and more than [-] grenades and grenades were lost. Eight hundred shells..."

"But there are definitely not so many usable weapons and ammunition..."

"The Eighth Route Army used hand grenades and grenades on a large scale in the battle. The total number exceeded a thousand. A large number of weapons and ammunition must have been destroyed..."

"Humble job estimates that they seized [-]% at most!"

Nakazuo Takeuchi snorted and asked back: "Liucheng, do you think Liucheng is very little?"

"More than 400 imperial troops were lost in one battle, and a multi-battalion of equipment was captured by the Eighth Route Army...In addition to our loss yesterday afternoon, more than half of the counterattack troops were killed and killed before reaching Shunping. How can we fight the next battle!"

"If you look at the Eighth Route Army again, even if they suffered heavy losses in battle, the captured equipment and ammunition are enough to make up for their losses, and their overall combat effectiveness has not declined."

"The strength of the two sides is at the same level. If we can't break the situation as soon as possible, even if we win Shunping with the remaining troops, we will lose all our casualties!"

"Recapturing Shunpei at the cost of two infantry brigades, do you think the brigade commander will agree?"

Just when the captain of the second brigade hesitated for a while and didn't know how to answer the call, the radio operator suddenly ran over: "Sir, the brigade headquarters has an urgent call!"

"The head of the brigade knew about our defeat last night so quickly?" Nakazuo Takeuchi felt that he had been betrayed by his subordinates, and shouted angrily.

Then he stared at the two captains with eyes full of anger, as if asking them who stabbed this incident to the brigade commander.

The two captains instantly felt the deep anger of the chief of staff, and quickly waved their hands to show that they did not make a small report.

The captain of the second brigade took the telegram from the operator's hand, glanced at the nervous expression on his face, and finally reported with a sigh of relief: "Chief of Staff, it's not because of our defeat last night!"

"This is an enemy report!"

"The intelligence department has just received news that the Eighth Route Army stationed in Shunping County retreated overnight, with a total strength of one regiment, and took away 89 carts of food, weapons and ammunition!"

"Right now, Shunping County is empty...the troops can take it down if they kill it!"

"The head of the brigade asked us to hurry up and prevent Shunping County from being occupied by the Eighth Route Army again!"

"Nani, has the Eighth Route Army retreated from Shunping County?" Nakazuo Takeuchi asked in disbelief.

After the encounter last night, he was mentally prepared for a decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army in Shunping.

The Eighth Route Army is much stronger than he imagined.

It cost more than 1000 people to win the South Korean Village by itself, and the loss of conquering Shunping County must be even greater.

Now the head of the brigade actually told himself that the Eighth Route Army defending Shunping had retreated...

how can that be!

Since they had already chosen to abandon Shunping County, why did they bother to attack themselves last night.

Nakazuo Takeuchi couldn't figure it out.

The captain of the second brigade was like a roundworm in the chief of staff's stomach. He took a look at his face and said, "Sir, the Eighth Route Army attacked us last night to prepare for the retreat!"

"In case their retreat is exposed in advance, we will take the opportunity to kill them and chase after their retreating troops... Their big retreat will soon turn into a big rout..."

"Only by actively attacking us through night raids can we be dragged to the South Korean village, and there is no way to threaten them to withdraw their troops!"

Nakazuo Takeuchi still had some questions that he couldn't figure out, so he continued to ask, "Then why did they abandon Shunping County!"

"In the battle of South Korean Village, they have wiped out more than 1000 of us!"

"The fortifications in Shunping County must be stronger than here...It is not impossible to hold there!"

"Don't you think it's too strange for them to choose to give up without firing a single shot?"

"Could this be their conspiracy!"

The team leader shook his head and analyzed: "We are not afraid even if it is a conspiracy!"

"Although our army lost more than 1000 people here...but most of the losses were caused by night attacks!"

"In the daytime attack, although we also suffered losses, the results were greater!"

"As long as we try our best to give full play to our superiority in artillery and air, and avoid night battles with the Eighth Route Army, no matter how strong they are, they are no match for us!"

"When we attack Shun, we will definitely dispatch planes..."

"If the Eighth Route Army sticks to the county, the defeat is certain!"

"The Eighth Route Army has always been fighting if it can win, and withdrawing if it can't win!"

"Knowing that they will lose a lot of troops if they defend the county seat, and positional warfare is not their style of play. After seeing our aggressive methods of attacking Nanhan Village, they temporarily decided to abandon Shunping county seat. I think it is very understandable!"

Nakazuo Takeuchi was persuaded by his subordinates, and after analyzing according to his meaning, it was really the case.

The dignified expression on his face was slowly replaced by a smile, and his gaze was turned away from the battlefield. He gave a serious order: "Notify the troops in half an hour, and arrive at Shunping County before noon..."

"Confirm that there is really no Eighth Route Army in the city before taking it down!"

　The second one was delivered today!Ask for full order!
