"Nani, retreat, Your Excellency, Commander. Now there are at least 10 of our expatriates in Tianjin, all of whom are business people, and most of them are the families of our officers. If we retreat, what should those people do? Do you want Hu Hao to arrest him and build roads again?" The chief of staff immediately asked loudly.

"Our current troops are hard to protect themselves. How can we protect those overseas Chinese? Now we must retain enough troops. Only when Shenyang's troops come down south can we deal Hu Hao with a fatal blow!

otherwise.Even if Shenyang's troops come over, we are not sure of victory!Go and pass the order to me! "Ningji Okamura shouted to his staff officer.

"Your Excellency, Commander. If you pass on this order, the officer below will definitely not execute it immediately. They will definitely notify the base camp directly, and the base camp will not agree at that time!" The chief of staff reminded Okamura Neiji again.

"Baga, I know, you go, I will explain to the base camp!" Neiji Okamura shouted to his chief of staff.

"Hi!" The chief of staff heard Neiji Okamura say this, but there was nothing he could do.I had no choice but to issue this order, and in the headquarters in Tianjin, Chotaro Muraoka, who was in charge of this command, led the Fourth Division of the Standing Division.

"Baga. Why did the troops of the Independence Army come so quickly?" Chotaro Muraoka said angrily looking at the defense map in front of him.

"Report, urgent telegram from Nanjing headquarters!" A communications staff officer approached him and shouted.Muraoka Changtaro took the telegram and read it.

"Nani, retreat across the board, Yaga. How is it possible, the imperial army started to retreat before they fought!" Chotaro Muraoka shouted immediately after reading the telegram.

"Nani, retreat?" After the generals in the headquarters heard the words of the division chief.They all looked at each other in surprise,

"Your Excellency, division chief, how can we retreat now, there is Tianjin City behind, and there are nearly [-] of our people in it, what will they do if we retreat?" A staff officer stood up and asked immediately.

"Baga, why did the Gangmura Cining Army issue such an order. Baga!" Chotaro Muraoka said with his hands behind his back while holding the telegram.

"General, we definitely can't withdraw. If we want to withdraw, we can't withdraw now. We can only withdraw after our expatriates!" Another staff officer immediately spoke up, while Muraoka Changtaro didn't speak, thinking about what to do. The real purpose of the telegram sent by Munningji.

"Don't talk about it first, let me think about it! The telegram said that we should retreat immediately, don't delay! This telegram is very strange!" Chotaro Muraoka stretched out his hand to those people to signal them not to speak!

"Could it be that there are a large number of troops coming from behind Hu Hao, and we can't stop them at all?" A staff officer whispered.

"Speak louder if you want to say it, or don't say it!" Muraoka Changtaro said, glaring at the staff officer.

"Hey, let me say that there are a large number of large troops coming from behind Hu Hao, we can't stop it at all, otherwise, the headquarters will not issue such an order, which insults the prestige of our imperial army!" The staff officer immediately stood up Said loudly.

"Well, Hu Hao personally brought over 30 troops this time. Do you think it is a large army?" Chotaro Muraoka said to the staff officer.

"Ah! So many?" The staff officers immediately looked at each other. They really didn't know this information, so they were still surprised by the 30 troops.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, I think we have to carefully consider the telegram from the headquarters. Now Hu Hao just sent a vanguard force over here. We suffered so many casualties tonight. If his troops arrive here,

And they all have such a powerful attack force like tonight, we should retreat to Tangshan and build a new line of defense, because there are not only our steel factories, but also power plants, which are very important to our empire , there can be no loss,

Although Tianjin is also very important, it is just a port. There are some enterprises here, but Tangshan is an important place for us to control. There are a lot of iron mines in that place. Once Hu Hao takes over the acquisition of our empire's resources, it will be It has a very big impact, I think the headquarters also has this consideration! "A staff officer immediately analyzed it.

"This still doesn't work. If those expatriates are arrested by Hu Hao, the morale of our army will be broken!" Another staff officer said immediately.

Muraoka Chotaro waved his hand impatiently, and the staff officers stopped talking immediately, not daring to disturb him.Muraoka Changtaro took the telegram and went directly to the front of the map to look at it.

"There is no danger for us in Tianjin. The same is true for Tangshan. They are all plains. Those mountains are not on the main road. There is no way to block Hu Hao's attack. Pushing past is a dead end. There are no fortifications. What a fart!" Chotaro Muraoka said while looking at the map.

"I think the commander of the division should send a telegram to the headquarters to ask why such an order was issued!" The staff officer of the fourth division suggested to Chotaro Muraoka.

"Well, I want to ask, such a retreat will cause big problems!" Muraoka Chotaro nodded, and began to ask the telegrapher to send a telegram to the headquarters to ask about the situation and see what was going on.

At this time, it was almost 4 o'clock. Some of Hu Hao's troops had already arrived in front of the defense points in various places of the devils, and some were still on the road. Those who reached the front of the devils' defensive positions also hurriedly repaired the defenses Fortifications,

Because the north is cold every day, there is a layer of frozen soil underneath, it is not easy to dig at all, but if it is not easy to dig, you have to dig. If the devils want to counterattack here, if there is no fortification, they will only have to run away, and the artillery must hurry up. It's time to repair the artillery positions, and the fortifications must be repaired and the parameters adjusted before the general attack is ordered from above!

The battle with Deputy Commander Xu had just ended at this time, and the 10 devils in Baoding were basically wiped out by him. The main reason was that there were too many recruits, so they didn't fight at all. It's not as good as the Independent Army, and sometimes the devil's weapons are not as good as the Independent Army's. The cannons are also destroyed by the Independent Army first.

So after a night of fighting, basically all the devils in Baoding were wiped out. Of course, some of them must have escaped, but there must be none of the established ones.

The soldiers were also very tired after a night of fighting. After receiving the telegram to rest, many soldiers immediately went to the dry ground, and then several people leaned together to keep warm. Those wounded were carried to the back by many people who came to help. treat.

"Damn, it can be regarded as taking it down!" Deputy Commander Xu walked up to the position, and saw that his soldiers were all around him, and they were all lying on the ground sleeping, with a thin quilt covering their faces.

"Come here, find something and come over here, light some more fires here, and ask the cooking team to prepare hot food, kill them all night, sweat all over your body, and you will die if you catch a cold!" Xu The deputy commander wanted to take a look at it at first, but when he saw that his soldiers were so tired, he immediately shouted.As soon as the communicators heard this, they immediately began to pass orders to the two columns.

"Old Xu, it's time to send the telegram to the idiot, and also give a copy to the command!" Deputy Chief of Staff Liu next to him suggested to Deputy Commander Xu.

"Well, go send it out. By the way, inform the soldiers of our reserve team that they have not participated in the operation tonight. Tell them to set off now, rush to Peiping, and kill those devils over there. If the two divisions If they can't handle a brigade, let them chop off their own heads!" Deputy Commander Xu nodded and immediately started talking.

"Yes!" Deputy Chief of Staff Liu immediately went to the temporary headquarters to send the two telegrams.Deputy Commander Xu stood on top of the position and watched. At this time, the morning glow began to appear in the east.

"Damn, it's dawn!" Deputy Commander Xu whispered while looking at the distance and smiling.

On Hu Hao's side, Hu Hao had already determined the location of the temporary headquarters at this time, and those guards were helping to set up the tent.

"Brother Hao. Brother Hao. Deputy Commander Xu took Baoding down and wiped out all the devils in Baoding!" Lao Niu said happily to Hu Hao with a telegram.Hu Hao quickly picked it up and looked at the telegram.

"Okay, wipe it all out, mother, there are so many devils left here in Hebei. Look at how I left you devils here today!" Hu Hao was very happy after reading the telegram, and immediately said with a smile stand up.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After the headquarters in Nanjing received the telegram from Muraoka Chotaro, they immediately slapped the table and cursed.

"Baga, I asked them to retreat immediately. If Hu Hao's troops came, it would be difficult for them to run away. If Tangshan couldn't hold it, they would retreat to Shanhaiguan. They asked me why, how could there be so many people?" Why, withdraw for me if you don’t want to die!”

"Hey, Your Excellency, Commander. After all, the imperial army has never retreated without confrontation. It is normal for the generals below to have such doubts. We need to explain clearly to them!" The chief of staff said immediately .

"Baga, what do I want to explain to them? Do I have to tell them our backhands? What if it leaks out? Now the Independent Army will bomb our artillery positions first as soon as they arrive at us. If there are not enough Intelligence personnel, how could they do it!" Neiji Okamura shouted at the chief of staff.

"Hi! I didn't think about it properly!" The chief of staff immediately lowered his head and said something.

"Go and tell him, if you don't want to die, withdraw immediately. I don't have time to explain to them. If Hu Hao's troops catch up, they will only be wiped out!" Okamura Neji said to the chief of staff ordered said.

"Hey, I'll do it right away!" The chief of staff went out immediately, and by the time the telegram reached Muraoka Chotaro, it was already 4:[-].

"Baga, if you don't withdraw, you will die. The Independence Army is so powerful!" Chotaro Muraoka said strangely while holding the telegram.

"Then, Your Excellency, Commander, what should we do?" A chief of staff next to him immediately asked. "Well, it's almost 04:30 now, let the cooking class prepare the meals first, and we will let the soldiers get up at 5 o'clock, and then retreat!" Muraoka Chotaro said to the chief of staff.

"Hi!" The chief of staff also went out to send a telegram to his troops and other divisions. After receiving the telegram, the other division heads also cursed.

"Baga. There is no one who doesn't attack and retreat. This is not the style of our imperial soldiers at all. Is Ningji Okamura frightened by Hu Hao?

To give such an order, we couldn't attack him in the past, it was because we were not familiar with the terrain of the attack, now we are defending, we can still be afraid that he will fail!The soldiers of the empire are always the best soldiers in the world! "A division commander took the telegram and immediately said it with disdain.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, I think you should seriously consider this fate. I heard that the troops defending at the airport. It took less than an hour for the vanguard of the Independence Army to kill the troops at the transfer point of the two divisions. A breakthrough was made. And they still suffered heavy losses, the two divisions have withdrawn and there is not a single regiment!" The chief of staff of their division also reminded his division commander to get up.

"Nani, the defensive positions of the two divisions broke through in less than an hour?" The division commander was also very surprised when he heard the news, and looked at the chief of staff in front of him.

"Hey, I heard that's the case. We just came into contact with the Independence Army tonight, and I heard that more than 3 soldiers have been killed!" The chief of staff nodded and said in a low voice.

"Baga!" The division commander immediately cursed angrily.

"Your Excellency, division commander, you should let the soldiers prepare earlier!" The chief of staff reminded his division commander again.

"Hurry up and give the order. Everyone will follow the advice of our village chief Taro-kun, let the soldiers finish their breakfast quickly, and we will retreat! Go!" The division head immediately said to the chief of staff.
