"Major, we found no trace of them."
The devils searched around the exit, but found nothing until dawn.
Although the devil commander Makino Kanichi was extremely unwilling, he still quickly went back to the division headquarters to learn about the losses.
Although the division headquarters suffered heavy losses due to the sudden attack, several staff officers were killed on the spot, and the guards also suffered great losses.
However, when the head of the division, Shizuichi Tanaka, let a staff officer put on his general uniform when he was breaking out, he was saved from being killed. I was also frightened, and my face was scratched by fragments, which was considered disfigured.
"Have you caught the Chinese guerrillas?!"
Seeing Makino Kanyi come back, the head of the division, Jing Tanaka, who was in an extremely bad mood, asked.
"The Chinese people are too cunning, they escaped along the secret passage." Makino Kanichi said ashamedly.
The first thousand and 370 chapters of the text set fire to the city
Beginning in the early morning of June 6, the devil's troops followed the orders of the base camp, carrying a large amount of seized materials, withdrew from Yichang one after another, and returned to their original station.
The 13th Division of the Devils belonged to the last batch of retreating troops. They not only had to take on the task of rearing the rear, but also were responsible for destroying military facilities in Yichang City and conducting sabotage activities.
The division head of the Devil's 13th Division, Tanaka Jingyi, was attacked by the Flame Special Operations Brigade, and he himself was injured in the attack.
Although he was extremely unwilling and wanted to take revenge on the Lie Yan Special Operations Brigade who attacked them, but the retreat time was short and he had to give up this idea.
"Order the troops to carry out the burning task and withdraw from Yichang!"
The wounded devil commander Tanaka Jingyi ordered viciously that he would turn Yichang into a ruin.
After receiving the order, the devil's various troops immediately took action. The devil soldiers with live ammunition and nuclear weapons took to the streets and began to burn Yichang and destroy military facilities.
Although the people in Yichang City tried to prevent the devils from burning Yichang, they faced the devil soldiers with live ammunition.Anyone who resisted was shot and killed, screaming and wailing.
"Sir, the city is on fire!"
A fire broke out in Yichang City, which attracted the attention of various Chinese troops outside the city.
After successfully escaped from the pursuit and retreated from Yichang, Yang Ling immediately reported to Peng Shan, commander of the 18th Army, that the devils might be leaving Yichang, asking them to be prepared to counterattack at any time, and at the same time prevent the devils from setting fire to the city.
Although Peng Shan, the commander of the 18th Army, felt a little unbelievable, after all, the devils had just occupied Yichang, and their buttocks hadn't gotten hot yet, so they just evacuated like this, which was unreasonable.
However, in the face of pressure from the Chongqing Military Commission and his chief Chen Cheng, he sent a telegram urging him to immediately send troops to counterattack Yichang.
Peng Shan, the commander of the 18th Army, was still skeptical and deployed some troops on the outskirts of Yichang, ready to launch counterattacks at any time.
Now that the city was on fire, Peng Shan, the commander of the 18th Army, immediately realized that Yang Ling's report was not groundless, and the devils were probably about to evacuate.
"Launch a counterattack immediately and take back Yichang!"
Peng Shan, the commander of the 18th Army, knew that it was a good opportunity to return to Yichang without delay, so he did not dare to neglect, and immediately issued an order.
"Yes!"
The communication staff officer turned around immediately with an excited expression on his face.Ready to deliver orders.
After all, Yichang was lost in the hands of their 18th Army. It is said that we can get up from where we fell.
If they can recapture Yichang, then they will be able to raise their heads again, otherwise, they will be ridiculed by other troops for a long time in the future. They are well-equipped Central Army troops and have always been stared at by countless pairs of eyes It seems that this time's failure has made them unable to hold their heads up.
The 18th Army suffered heavy losses in the battle to defend Yichang. The 11th Division under its command was in Dangyang and was restrained by other troops of the Devils, and had not rushed over yet.
Now he only has part of the 199th Division and the 18th Division under his command. Once he encounters the devil's counterattack, the entire army is likely to be wiped out.
"return!"
Commander Peng Shan stopped the communications staff officer who turned around and was about to leave.
The communications staff officer turned around with a puzzled face: "What else can you order from the military seat?"
"Order all troops to attack cautiously, and retreat immediately if the situation is wrong." Army Commander Peng Shan added after thinking for a while.
After all, the 18th Army has already suffered heavy losses. If there is another accident, then he, the commander of the army, will become a polished commander.
"Yes!"
The Communications Staff Officer also understood the mood of Army Commander Peng Shan at the moment. After all, he was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years. Life is over.
When the units of the 18th Army were cautiously counterattacking Yichang, Yang Ling's Lie Yan Special Forces Brigade had already entered Yichang City first.
At this moment, there are still some devil troops in the city carrying out the task of burning. They are setting fires everywhere. They never thought that the Chinese army's counterattack would come so quickly.
"Please, don't burn down our house."
Faced with these devils holding torches, carrying gasoline, and setting fire to the troops, many people were crying and howling, trying to stop them, after all, this is their home.
"Bagaya Road!"
These crazy devils only have orders in their eyes, and they don't care about the life and death of the Chinese people.
The little devil kicked away these pleading people, and then poured gasoline on the house. Just as they were about to light the fire, the officers and soldiers of the Lieyan Special Forces Brigade appeared at the corner of the street.
"Bang bang bang!"
The bullets whizzed and flew towards the devil, hitting the devil trembling all over, and spurts of fresh blood flew out.
"It's the Chongqing Army!"
Facing the blazing special war fighter that suddenly appeared at the corner of the street, the devils who set fire to each other shouted in panic while spreading out to covertly fight back.
"Destroy them!"
Facing these brats who set fire, Yang Ling's eyes were full of murderous intent.
The officers and soldiers of the Lieyan special warfare brigade were also filled with righteous indignation, and launched an attack on these little devils.
Facing the powerful Lie Yan Special Forces, these little devils were quickly defeated and had to flee in a panic.
The main force of the devils has withdrawn from the urban area, and there are only a small number of arsonists in the city. Facing the attack of the Lieyan Special Forces Brigade, they thought that the main force of the Chinese army had returned. Many devil soldiers had not arrived and burned their targets. In order to avoid being surrounded, they had to evacuate in a hurry.
"Split up and act separately, and don't leave any little devils who set fire!"
Now that there was no large army of devils in the city, Yang Ling didn't have to worry about them falling into the attack of devils and suffering a devastating blow, so he boldly divided his troops.
"You immediately organize people to fight the fire, if the fire starts, no one's house will be spared!"
The houses in Yichang City are all contiguous low-rise tile-roofed houses, and many of them are made of wood. Once the fire cannot be controlled in time, it will cause incalculable losses. This is not what Yang Ling wanted, so he asked the people to fight the fire together .
"Quick, put out the fire!"
