Chapter 225 The Japanese 37th Division suffered a major defeat!
The Japanese were doomed to fail, and only those Japanese officers who had been brainwashed by Bushido would think of dying in honor of their country.
Those smarter and more fearful Japanese officers, like the Japanese captain, all wanted to escape from the battlefield.
But how many people can actually escape from the battlefield?
You must know that the Japanese are now completely surrounded by the Tiger Guards Division.
In front is Chidong County, behind is the armored forces of the Huben Division, and at the back are many reconnaissance units of the Huben Division.
Although these reconnaissance troops are small in number, it will be difficult to escape once they are discovered.
Because this time the reconnaissance unit can call for armored support.
At this moment, with the appearance of fleeing Japanese officers in the Japanese attacking forces, the Japanese attacking forces were already in great chaos.
The Japanese attacking forces could no longer organize an effective attack.
And at this time.
The signal bomb for the Tiger Guards' counterattack appeared in the night sky.
As the signal bomb for the Tiger Guards' counterattack appeared in the night sky, the Tiger Guards' charge horns sounded at the four gates of Chidong County.
“Tick-tock…tick-tock…”
Accompanied by the sound of the charge horn, countless soldiers of the Tiger Guard Division jumped out of the trenches and rushed towards the Japanese.
"kill......"
Wang Dali shouted slogans and rushed forward first with a rifle with a bayonet.
Behind Wang Dali were several guards protecting him. As the head of the regiment, Wang Dali should not have been the first to rush out.
But the battalion commander under Wang Dali could not stop Wang Dali, because Wang Dali himself was such a fierce general.
Wang Dali and his group rushed forward too fiercely, and as they rushed forward, they found that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around them.
This made the guards around Wang Dali feel that something was wrong, so they quickly said to Wang Dali beside him: "Commander, this situation is not right, it seems that we have run everywhere."
Wang Dali had just killed a Japanese soldier when he heard the guard's words, so he looked around.
They found that the surroundings were quiet and there were no Japanese soldiers around. Of course, there were no soldiers from the Tiger Guard Division except them.
"Damn it... I actually went astray." Wang Dali couldn't help but curse.
"Commander, what should we do now?" the guard asked hurriedly after hearing Wang Dali's words.
"What should we do? Of course we should go back." Wang Dali said without thinking.
Then he looked around carefully and continued, "I don't know the terrain here. It seems we can only return the same way."
"All of you, be careful, don't let the Japanese shoot you from behind."
After hearing Wang Dali's words, the dozen or so soldiers present all quickly responded, "Understood!"
It is easy to say to return to the original route, but it also depends on when!
It would be very difficult to return to the battlefield by the same route, especially in such a dark night where you can't see your hand in front of you and can only rely on flares to illuminate the night.
The group walked in the dark for seven or eight minutes, and finally they couldn't even tell the directions.
It seems that it is impossible to return the same way.
After all, the flares now flicker intermittently, sometimes dark and sometimes bright, making it impossible to find the road.
"This won't work. Now we can only move towards the area where the gunfire is most intense."
"If we keep going this way, who knows where we'll end up."
Wang Dali stopped, turned around and whispered to the soldiers behind him.
"Commander, where, where is the most intense gunfire!" The guard said, pointing to a place after hearing this.
"Let's go, let's go there." Wang Dali said after hearing this.
......
The Tiger Guards' counterattack was too sudden, and the defeat of the Japanese 37th Division was also too sudden.
It happened so suddenly that neither the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Division nor the Japanese were able to react.
Especially the officers of the headquarters of the Japanese 66th Regiment, they had no idea what was happening and were all confused at the moment.
However, looking at the Japanese retreating like a tide, they couldn't believe that they were defeated in such an instant.
You have to know that the Japanese still have tens of thousands of troops at this moment!
"Captain...the Chinese have launched a counterattack against us. What should we do now?" asked a Japanese staff officer next to the commander of the 66th Regiment.
"Baga, baga, are these still the warriors of the Empire? Are these still the brave and invincible soldiers of our 37th Division?"
"Who asked them to retreat? These idiots..."
After the commander of the Japanese 66th Regiment came to his senses, he kept cursing.
But he had to admit that the 37th Division was really defeated.
Originally, the commander of the 66th Regiment wanted to pay a huge price to capture Chidong County.
As long as they capture Chidong County, they can not only complete Commander Yoshio Shinozuka's order and kill Zhou Weimin, but they can also use Chidong County to block the armored forces behind them.
For this reason, the commander of the 66th Regiment even shot a Japanese staff officer, but now this result is exactly what the Japanese staff officer who was shot before had expected.
Thinking of this, the commander of the 66th Regiment decided to follow the advice of the Japanese staff officer he had shot.
That is retreat.
However, the commander of the 66th Regiment was not planning to retreat. He decided to die in battle here.
"Orders: 65th Regiment, Inoue Battalion... retreat in turns."
"Orders: The 66th Regiment will re-establish its position and cover the retreat of other troops. I am the captain of the 66th Regiment and I will stay."
The commander of the 66th Regiment scanned all the Japanese soldiers present and then gave the order to retreat.
Unfortunately, it was too late to order a retreat because the Tiger Guards had already completed the encirclement.
The Japanese 37th Division's hasty retreat had turned the situation into chaos.
It was impossible for the commander of the 66th Regiment to convey the order to the Japanese officers.
"Sir, you can't stay here. The 37th Division is still..." The Japanese staff officer hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted by the 66th Regiment Commander: "Follow orders!"
The Japanese staff officer looked at the 66th Regiment Commander seriously, then nodded heavily and said, "Hi!"
Just when the Japanese staff officer was asking someone to convey the order of the commander of the 66th Regiment.
The armored units of the Tiger Guard Division entered the battlefield.
“Kachaka…Kachaka…”
Several tanks and armored vehicles were moving quickly on the road, and the bright lights illuminated the road.
This was accompanied by bursts of dense machine gun fire, and the Japanese soldiers who were running desperately in front of the tanks and armored vehicles were instantly shot down.
When the other Japanese soldiers saw this, they quickly fled in all directions, and some of them even dropped their guns.
In the dark night, tanks and armored vehicles did not dare to leave the brigade headquarters at will, and could only watch the devils flee in all directions.
