Hundreds of millions of cloud explosive bombs were fired at the beginning, and horses were riding on

The artillery fire was still continuing. After all, the Independent Column had sent out a large number of artillery, various tanks and aircraft this time, but the bombing from the aircraft was far from over.

Both Sun Shaobai and Huang Yian were full of confidence in this battle. After all, they had made a lot of preparations during this period. Before they came, Zhang Yunqing had already told them how to fight this battle, which was to use powerful firepower support to attack Song County, making the Japanese feel terrified and afraid.

Only in this way can they be annihilated in the county seat of Song County.

Now Song County has become a ruin. The Japanese had previously carried out a massive bombing on Song County...

Not only was Songxian County bombed by aircraft, but there were also a lot of artillery bombings.

And the bombing continued for several days.

So under this circumstance, these people have long been numb to the cannons, but the artillery bombardment here is too fierce, causing the Japanese devils to suffer terribly.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, we are about to collapse. The enemy's bombardment is too fierce. We have suffered heavy casualties. The only way now is to withdraw from this county immediately. Otherwise, we will definitely become victims of the independent column."

"And our reconnaissance team reported that other troops of this independent column are coming from all directions. If we don't go out now, we will definitely be killed here by them."

At this moment, the chief of staff of the 56th Division kept talking in front of Ono Ichiro. After all, as the chief of staff of the 56th Division, this 56th Division is also his division.

If the Sixth Division was gone, then his position as Chief of Staff would also be gone. Both would be destroyed.

Therefore, the Japanese chief of staff did not want to see his division disappear like this.

When Ono Ichiro heard what his chief of staff said, he nodded. He understood this very well. Seeing such a strong pressure from the artillery fire, Ono Ichiro felt uncomfortable. Moreover, the county town had just been taken by them, and it would not take long before they had to hand it over to others. He did not want to give it up.

"Bakayaloo, bakayaloo, these damned independent corps soldiers, we were too nice to them before. It was a big mistake of ours that we didn't kill these damned independent columns on the battlefield in southwest Shanxi. If we had killed these independent columns on the battlefield in southwest Shanxi, this wouldn't have happened."

"No wonder the 33rd and 34th divisions were annihilated by them. Even our 56th division plus two puppet troops can't resist this kind of pressure. No one can resist this kind of fierce attack."

"Damn it! Damn it! We haven't even started to look for them yet and they've already attacked us. They don't take our 56th Division seriously."

At this moment, the commander of the 56th Division, Kazuo Ono, was very angry. After all, he was facing the attack of the independent column...it would be strange if he was not angry.

Meanwhile, the chief of staff here began to persuade him, saying, "Mr. Commander, now is not the time to talk about these things. The most important thing now is to retreat immediately. The soldiers of the independent column are rushing back from all directions. It is more important for us to retreat. If you agree, I will let the 88th and 89th divisions go together to block the enemy's attack."

"That group of puppet soldiers is of no value at all... They are just our running dogs. Let them resist for a while... At least they can disperse the enemy's firepower and let us retreat quickly."

In the eyes of the Japanese, these puppet soldiers were of no value at all.

The reason why they chose puppet troops was quite simple, which was to make them their running dogs.

Ono Kazuo nodded. In fact, he thought so too. The soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army were invincible. If the enemy killed one of them, it would be a loss of a general. But if the enemy killed a puppet soldier, it would not be important to them. After all, they knew everything about the puppet soldiers.

"Then pass on my order and have the 88th and 89th Divisions of the puppet army go out immediately to resist the attack of the independent column. Since they dare to attack us, let them have a taste of our puppet army's power."

“不过有一点的是我们不仅仅让这群伪军过去阻击这群独立纵队的士兵们的攻击，同咱们也得需要给他们一点装备，直接给他们4门70mm口径的92式步兵炮，外加10挺92式重机枪和30挺96式轻机枪....”

"Only in this way can these people work hard for us. Otherwise, once they know that our ultimate goal is to use them as scapegoats, these puppet soldiers are likely to rebel. In order to prevent such a thing from happening... we must do this."

"At the same time, we must also explain the situation to the commanders of the puppet army's 88th and 89th divisions. If we retreat successfully, they can also retreat immediately. And if they retreat successfully, I will definitely recommend them to the commander and let them get promoted and make money."

"We have to use both soft and hard tactics to deal with this group of people. They are a bunch of beasts who do all kinds of evil. They are even worse than us."

"Only by using both hard and soft tactics can we make them obey."

Anyway, the current commander of the 56th Division, Ono Ichina, is relatively clear about the puppet army and knows how to use it.

When the chief of staff heard what his division commander said, he nodded quickly.

"You are the division commander. Your plan is really too wonderful. You must understand these puppet troops."

"I will pass on your order right now. Let the puppet army's 88th and 89th divisions go over to resist the attack of the independent column. Don't worry. Our other troops will cover the retreat of our division headquarters. We can't stay in Song County for a moment."

"Once we have successfully retreated, when our flying corps arrives, we will definitely give these independent column members a taste of their own medicine. We must take back what we lost."
