"Division Commander, should we ask for help from the headquarters?"
At this time, a Japanese colonel asked this.
"idiot.
Idiot, don't you think our 13th Division has been embarrassed enough?"
As a result, the old Japanese soldier Hagisu Rikibei was directly angered.
He had no intention of telling the Japanese headquarters about the true situation of his division at this time.
They had no intention of asking other Japanese divisions to send troops to support them.
“Just tell the headquarters that our division is running low on ammunition.
Temporarily evacuate the Mufu Mountain line, and don't say anything else."
The old devil Hagisu Rippei gave the order with a grim look on his face.
"Hi!"
The Japanese colonel next to him had no choice but to agree obediently.
Until this time, the old devil Hagisu Rippei still firmly believed that the National Army could not surround them.
Tonight, they will be able to open up the retreat route and escape from the encirclement set up by Ye Qingshan.
Immediately, the 13th Division began operations at night.
According to the new action plan of the old devil Hagizu Rippei, the main force of their division will go directly to Yaohuamen to attack.
The main force of the attack was their division, the 65th Regiment, which had the strongest combat effectiveness at that time.
The 58th Regiment was left behind to cover the retreat.
Then, the 116th Regiment was responsible for occupying Qixia Mountain.
Before setting off, the old Japanese soldier Hagisu Rippei also dispersed all 3,000 Japanese logistics soldiers of his division's logistics regiment.
The reinforcements were given to the three regiments: 58th, 65th and 116th.
Anyway, the 13th Division didn't have any important baggage at this time.
Ammunition, supplies and other materials are almost used up.
These 3,000 baggage soldiers have been used as reinforcements by the old Japanese soldier Hagizu Ritsube.
In this way, the combat effectiveness of the three main squadrons can be greatly enhanced.
It will facilitate their subsequent breakout operation.
As for the 104th Regiment, which was almost wiped out by Ye Qingshan's side yesterday, the losses were too great.
Unless all 3,000 baggage soldiers are added to their regiment.
Otherwise, it will be difficult for this regiment to recover its combat effectiveness.
All the core veterans were killed.
So, the old Japanese soldier Hagisu Rippei simply kept the crippled 104th Regiment in his own division headquarters and used it as a guard unit.
The Japanese 13th Division, after clarifying the next combat objective.
Their actions were also very swift.
However, in the same way, Ye Qingshan, with the Second Militia Division, had also caught up.
It was the 83rd Army that attacked on the Western Front, and its attack was somewhat slow.
Less than two hours after the main force of the Japanese 13th Division withdrew from the camp.
The southern attack force led by Ye Qingshan attacked.
"Come on!"
Teams of national army soldiers, with high morale, charged forward bravely.
Try to take advantage of their numbers.
A large number of new recruits are not only useless when fighting a disadvantageous battle, but they are also a burden during retreat.
However, if the battle is going in your favor.
Many of these new recruits from the Second Militia Division are no longer a burden.
It becomes a helping hand.
At this time, this was the situation of Ye Qingshan's Second Militia Division.
More than 10,000 people won the first battle during the day and wiped out thousands of Japanese devils.
The new recruits of the Second Militia Division were shouting with excitement, and they couldn't wait to catch up and kill the Japanese.
However, Ye Qingshan was still a little cautious.
They did not dare to let the Second Militia Division catch up immediately, for fear of encountering an ambush by the Japanese.
Until the reconnaissance veterans sent by Ye Qingshan discovered that the large Japanese force was moving eastward.
Only then did Ye Qingshan dare to let the Second Militia Division led by him catch up and attack the Japanese camp.
According to Ye Qingshan's plan, they really had to try their best to annihilate the Japanese 13th Division within the encirclement in a short period of time.
But we can't just rush and fall into an ambush by the Japanese.
If they were really ambushed by the Japanese, most of the soldiers in their Second Militia Division would be new recruits.
If we lose a battle, we might be completely finished.
At that time, without more than 10,000 fresh troops, it would be impossible to destroy the Japanese 13th Division in the encirclement.
It's just too difficult.
Therefore, before actually launching the campaign to annihilate the Japanese Thirteenth Division.
Ye Qingshan needs to accumulate a few small victories to allow the new recruits in the Second Militia Division to accumulate combat experience.
At the same time, successive small victories can also boost their morale.
"Chief of Staff, the Japanese camp has been captured.
That is, there are not many devils in there.
A group of Japanese soldiers who were left behind died in the battle after several hundred of them were killed.
They are fighting and retreating to the east."
Not long after, a major officer from the Second Militia Division ran over and reported to Ye Qingshan.
"Oh, I see.
Send a battalion to chase after them and follow the Japs. I want to know the location of the Japs division at all times.
The main force rested on the spot. "
Ye Qingshan gave the order.
"Sir, shouldn't we pursue the victory?"
The major officer asked doubtfully.
He thought that Ye Qingshan would let them continue chasing all night.
“Chasing what?
The soldiers have been fighting all night, so they should take a good rest.
See you tomorrow."
Ye Qingshan waved his hand.
Night battles are not easy to fight.
Ye Qingshan decided to act cautiously. He should not be the one who is anxious at this moment.
Therefore, we should not rush to make a move, so as not to reveal our flaws and be caught by the Japanese 13th Division.
The main force of the 13th Division is still there.
At this time, there were at least seven or eight thousand elite Japanese soldiers in the encirclement.
They still have the ability to turn the tide in one battle.
Therefore, Ye Qingshan did not plan to pursue, but to first defend the defense line on the south side of his encirclement.
Don't let the Japanese take advantage of you.
After daybreak, we will take action and slowly narrow the encirclement.
At this time, in a ditch seven or eight miles to the east, the main forces of the Japanese 58th and 65th Regiments were ambushed.
After waiting for half the night, Ye Qingshan's Second Militia Division still did not arrive.
"Baga, Ye Qingshan is too cunning.
With such a huge advantage, why didn't he lead his troops in pursuit?
Why!"
The Japanese division commander, Hagisu Rippei, was very angry.
This old Japanese was also very courageous. He set out with the 65th Regiment and prepared to head to Yaohuamen overnight.
This old Japanese received the report from the 58th Regiment which was cut off from the rest.
After knowing that Ye Qingshan would really lead a large army to attack their camp tonight.
The old devil suddenly changed his plan.
Let the Japanese 65th Regiment delay its march to Yaohuamen and set up an ambush here.
Then, the Japanese 58th Regiment pretended to be defeated and retreated while fighting.
Attract the 2nd Militia Division into their ambush circle.
If their ambush plan succeeds tonight.
Then, the crisis of being surrounded would be easily solved.
But in the end, it was already late at night and Ye Qingshan's Second Militia Division did not arrive.
Instead, they set up camp and rested.
This made the old Japanese soldier Hagi Suzuki Rikibei very angry.
It was a waste of time for them to shiver and drink the northwest wind for half the night on this cold winter night.
"Captain, don't wait.
If we wait any longer, it will be dawn soon.”
The Japanese chief of staff said anxiously.
"Let's go to Yaohua Gate!"
In the end, the old Japanese soldier Hagisu Rippei could only give the order with a grim face.
He led his troops to continue advancing towards Yaohuamen.
