Following Liu Yang's voice, the drumbeat changed, and the sound of retreat came out. This was a signal agreed long ago, urging all the ministries to evacuate the battlefield immediately.
Liu Yang predicted this kind of situation before, that is, how to retreat when you can't attack for a long time or when the battle is unfavorable. Once there is a large-scale retreat, you are afraid that you will be bitten by little devils. In order to prevent this situation, Liu Yang ordered all the seriously injured brothers to stay and fight.
In fact, on the battlefield, if the battle goes well, the seriously wounded may still be rescued, but once the battle is unfavorable, the seriously wounded will often not be able to evacuate at all. Instead of leaving uninjured brothers, it is better to let the seriously wounded stay. It is not Liu Yang who is cruel. , but as a last resort.
With the order to retreat, although the various units of the secret service battalion were unwilling, but the military order was like a mountain, they still began to retreat slowly from the battlefield. In order to stop the Japanese army, those seriously wounded who received the order barely formed a line of defense, and fired at the Japanese army regardless of casualties From time to time, someone played the glory bomb, and died with the little devil¡ª¡ª
?With the desperate resistance of these brothers, the various departments of the secret service battalion withdrew. Although the seriously wounded were gone, there were still many wounded on their bodies. It looked miserable, but the morale was still good.
With the departure of the secret service battalion, the Japanese army was stopped for a while and had no strength to catch up. The two sides agreed to a temporary truce. After fighting for more than half an hour, they finally separated, like two scarred beasts, each retreated to lick their own. Wound.
Liu Yang could be considered to have picked it up. As soon as the two sides left the battlefield, the Japanese Yangtze River Fleet killed the carbine, but when the fleet returned to the shore, there were only casualties and blood-soaked riverbanks on the river bank.
This made Liu Yang, Master Wang and others feel very lucky. If it was later, just in time for the fleet to return, it would be a big loss no matter whether they retreated or continued to fight.
But even so, according to a brief statistics by the various departments of the secret service battalion, nearly 5,000 people were killed and injured in this battle, and there were only more than 7,000 people left in each department. There are more than one car, but the ammunition consumption is very low.
The Japanese army is no better than the spy battalion. For various reasons, especially the secret service battalion was covered by tanks. The Japanese army lost more than 8,000 people in this battle, and not counting the more than 1,000 casualties caused by Tiger Ying's sneak attack later, the remaining combat power was less than six. Thousands, and almost all the fortifications were destroyed, the loss of firearms was serious, and a lot of ammunition was detonated, it can be said that the loss was heavy.
In the end, it was the Secret Service Battalion who won a complete victory, but after this battle, both sides were temporarily powerless for the first battle, and both began to shrink their defenses, licking their own wounds.
Although he was very unwilling, Liu Yang knew that he could not go down in a single battle. In two days, the Japanese army recovered, and the Japanese army's strength was increasing, but the secret service battalion could not be replenished, and the Japanese army's supplies could continue to flow from Nanjing. After transporting it over, all the advantages will be lost by the time the spy battalion rests.
Looking at the Japanese army and sighing, Liu Yang still ordered to retreat. The whole army slowly retreated towards Ma'anshan. The Japanese army had no intention of pursuing them, but just watched the spy battalion leave. In a short time, the Third Division will never be there. Take part in the war.
From Ma'anshan to Jiang'an, the Third Division has nearly 50,000 people, and now there are only more than 14,000 remnants left. This is due to the sacrifice of reinforcements. To restore full combat effectiveness, not to mention the need to replenish soldiers and weapons and equipment.
However, Fujita Susumu is not worried about these things the most, but how to face the censure of the Army Headquarters. The Third Division of 50,000 people suffered such a heavy loss, almost three-quarters. For such a large loss, the Army Headquarters must be held accountable. .
Thinking of how he was defeated, Susumu Fujita felt a burst of bitterness. He never thought that Liu Yang would be poisoned on a large scale. This time it really gave me a long memory, but I have to say that the fighting power of the secret service battalion is strong. I really underestimated it. Liu Yang also underestimated the spy battalion, and now he has paid a heavy price for his carelessness.
Following the retreat of the secret service battalion, the Third Division also slowly withdrew to Nanjing after a short rest and stayed in Nanjing for repairs. Fujita himself blamed and recalled the domestic report to explain the course of this battle.
This is not something that Liu Yang should have a headache for. After all the units of the secret service battalion withdrew and faced the losses of the various units, Liu Yang really had a headache. How to replenish the soldiers? The fighting power was pulled down.
The secret service battalion is not without reserve soldiers, but there are not so many, so apart from the secret service battalion itself, the other ministries can only solve it on their own. They just allocate money and materials from the finances, and only rebuild each department, except of course the independent regiment, but with the help of the Kong familyFinancial resources, money is not a problem, the problem is the same shortage of soldiers.
Counting the losses of the Independent Regiment and Li Brigade the heaviest, but Li Brigade has a special agent battalion to help supplement it, the Independent Regiment has to find a way on its own, but this battle must be fought by the Independent Regiment. Only by occupying Ma'anshan and pushing the 105th Division When they got to the front, the Independence Regiment had room to breathe. Otherwise, Dangtu would be the first to attack the Japanese army, and the Kong family had almost no choice.
The reason why the Kong family ventured to settle in this place of the Fourth World War was nothing more than liking Liu Yang¡¯s fighting skills and believing that Liu Yang would survive. How can there be an independent regiment in its hands, let alone the fact that it can become a brigade in the name of a regiment.
In fact, the Kong family is fully capable of maintaining the armament of an army, but the Kong family also knows that it is better to have more soldiers than fine soldiers. It is enough to have elite soldiers. The bigger the tree, the more attractive it is.
This is also the reason why Kong Xuewen followed Liu Yang to fight this battle. If he didn't fight, his old nest would probably be lost. Now Dangtu is considered stable, with Wuhu Xuancheng to the south, Ma'anshan to the north, and the territory of the spy camp to the east , to the west is the natural danger of the Yangtze River, so there is no need to worry about it in a short time.
Not to mention that the secret service battalion launched a vigorous conscription wave. The Kong family even began to recruit soldiers for the independent regiment in Yunnan and Guizhou.
?With the third division's vital energy severely injured, the secret service battalion had won the first battle. The news immediately spread across the country.
Major newspapers across the country reprinted it one after another, but it made many people very embarrassed. Some newspapers published an article yesterday accusing Liu Yang of treachery, but today they published the story of Liu Yang leading the secret service battalion in a bloody battle against the Third Division of the Japanese Army. And it was a complete victory, annihilating nearly 40,000 Japanese invaders, which greatly encouraged the anti-Japanese upsurge of the people across the country.
? When the news reached the central government, the Military and Political Department immediately sent a congratulatory message and issued a commendation order, awarding Liu Yang with the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal as a reward. The Military and Political Department even specially approved the addition of 2,000 soldiers to the spy battalion.
Following the failure of the front lines from Shandong, Hebei, Anhui, Henan to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and even to Fujian and Guangzhou, the central government, which had just withdrawn to Wuhan, once again began to consider moving the capital, which affected the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the whole country.
The Ministry of Military and Political Affairs was particularly interested in the First World War in Ma'anshan. Naturally, it publicized it to encourage anti-Japanese enthusiasm, and showed the whole country the will of the national army to resist Japan, and never gave up.
In fact, this time, he took the initiative to consider supplementing the special agent battalion because of two considerations. First, Liu Yang occupied Ma'anshan and blocked the advance of the North China Front Army. Veterans, not prevarication with recruits.
Liu Yang was also a little surprised by the generosity of the Military and Political Department. It¡¯s not about the soldiers. What China lacks most is people, let alone soldiers. It can be said that China has the largest army in the world. Liu Yang was surprised that the Military and Political Department was willing to give it to him. Affordable things, because what Liu Yang lacks now is soldiers, and this kind of behavior of giving charcoal in a timely manner is not the usual style of the Military and Political Department.
Liu Yang knew the attitude of the military and political department towards him, and he didn't blame the military and political department. After all, he was a water warlord, but he was actually a warlord.
But there is no way around this. Let¡¯s not talk about the calculations of the big masters in the Military and Political Department all day long. It is difficult to get the full amount of weapons and equipment.
Fighting is all about weapons and equipment, and what is fighting is money. If you want to gain the initiative, Liu Yang can only go to the dark. The key is that even if Liu Yang really relies on it now, people have to trust him.
Hao Guangping and Tang Wei have always suspected that the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs is mixing sand into the spy battalion, and even Commander Wang and Li Biao, who have been supplemented, think so, but Liu Yang doesn't care, because these soldiers have no officers, they are just soldiers, and they can't turn the sky , the real secret is not known by soldiers.
The secret service battalion occupied Lishui and Ma'anshan, not only expanded its power, but also directly threatened Nanjing, began to reduce the Japanese army's influence in the south of the Yangtze River, and increased the strategic depth. Some people seemed to have been slapped on the face.
After receiving the news of the defeat of the Third Division, Shouichi Terauchi, who was about to attack Anhui, was like a thunderbolt, and completely stunned him. That was the Third Division, the trump card of the empire. The divisions, the top three of the seventeen standing divisions, lost just like that, and the defeat was so miserable¡ª¡ª
Terauchi Shouichi, who was preparing to attack Hefei in Chuzhou, had to temporarily stop large-scale operations for this reason, because once it was launched, he was worried that Liu Yang would stab him from behind. Pay attention to the secret service battalion.
