Chapter 211 Collect the bodies of soldiers on the battlefield!
After Xin Jingtian Wu had arranged the south gate, east gate and west gate of Chidong County, he ordered the troops attacking the north gate of Chidong County to withdraw.
The situation at the south gate, east gate and west gate of Chidong County was beyond the expectations of the 37th Division Commander Takeshi Araiida and Chief of Staff Ike Hisahazu.
However, things have already happened, so the division commander, Takeshi Arai, and Chief of Staff Ike Hisakazu have to find a way to deal with it.
The solution proposed by the division commander Takeshi Araiida and the chief of staff Kazuya Ike was to send reinforcements to the south, east and west gates of Chidong County.
However, this time the division commander Arata Takeshi and chief of staff Chi Jiuhe did not attack the Japanese outside the south gate, east gate, and west gate of Chidong County again.
They just let the Japanese outside the south gate, east gate and west gate of Chidong County block the breakout of the Tiger Guard Division soldiers.
But what neither Takeshi Araiida nor Chief of Staff Ike Hisakazu knew was.
The soldiers of the Huben Division at the south, east and west gates of Chidong County were not prepared to break out at all.
The counterattack by the Tiger Guards soldiers at the south, east and west gates of Chidong County was only to slow down the Japanese attack on the north gate of Chidong County.
This is also Zhou Weimin’s plan.
It is obvious that Zhou Weimin's plan has been successful.
If the Japanese who attacked the north gate of Chidong County have retreated, and Arata Takeshi and Chief of Staff Ike Kyukazu have no plans to attack the north gate of Chidong County for the time being.
"Mr. Division Commander, are we really going to attack Chidong County at night?" Chief of Staff Ike Kyuhazu also looked at Arai Tianwu and asked.
Chief of Staff Chi Jiuhe really couldn't understand why they couldn't wait until tomorrow to attack Chidong County?
Why did we have to attack Chidong County at night?
You know, fighting at night is very disadvantageous. After all, it is very easy to kill your own people by mistake.
Rather, the soldiers had already been attacking all day and would continue the attack at night.
The soldiers were also very tired.
"Chi Jiuhe, our heavy artillery battalion has been wiped out by the Tiger Guards, and the Tiger Guards also have heavy artillery units."
"Our advantage is gone."
"The Tiger Guards' weapons and equipment are far superior to ours."
"If we attack Chidong County during the day, there will be heavy casualties. Only by fighting at night can we reduce some casualties."
"Besides, the Imperial warriors who remain on the battlefield also need to be cleaned up. We can't just let these warriors stay on the battlefield forever."
After hearing what Chief of Staff Kazuya Ikegami said, Takeshi Arai was silent for a while, and then spoke to Chief of Staff Kazuya Ikegami.
In fact, Shinida Takeshi's real idea was to capture Chidong County within one day.
But there was no chance during the day.
Then we can only capture Chidong County at night.
Of course, this idea cannot be told to Chief of Staff Ike Kyukazu, after all, Chief of Staff Ike Kyukazu also cares about the casualties of the soldiers.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, I agree with your suggestion, but I think we can have a conversation with the Tiger Guard Division."
"It can also confuse the Tiger Guards."
"We can send people to the battlefield right now and tell the Tiger Guards that out of respect for the warriors, we can temporarily cease fighting for one night."
After hearing what Takeshi Araiida said, Chief of Staff Ike Kyukazu also thought for a moment, and then said to Takeshi Araiida.
Although Chief of Staff Ike Kyukazu didn't know why Araitake had to launch a night attack.
But who made Arai Takeshi the division commander?
Moreover, Takeshi Araiida had a reasonable explanation, so Chief of Staff Ike Hisaha had no choice but to agree with Takeshi Araiida's order.
"This is a good suggestion. Let's arrange people to go to the battlefield!" Arata Takeshi heard Chief of Staff Ike Kyukazu nod and said.
Of course, Araida Takeshi would agree if it could confuse the Tiger Guards.
After this day's fighting, Takeshi Arai had realized the strength of the Tiger Guard Division.
Xin Ida Wu knew that with the powerful firepower of the Tiger Guard Division, it would be impossible to capture Chidong County using conventional tactics.
Following the order of Chief of Staff Kazuya Ikekyu.
It didn't take long.
A group of devils went to the battlefield holding white flags.
The second battalion commander of the guard regiment saw this situation and sent out soldiers.
Soon the soldiers came back and reported: "Commander, the Japanese want to stop fighting for one night and collect the Japanese corpses on the battlefield."
The Second Battalion Commander of the Guards Regiment was taken aback for a moment after hearing this, then asked uncertainly, "Did the Japs really say that?"
After hearing what the Second Battalion Commander of the Guards Regiment said, the soldier nodded and said, "Commander, that's exactly what the Japs said."
After hearing this, the Second Battalion Commander of the Guards Regiment thought for a moment, then said to the soldiers, "Report it."
The soldier nodded and said, "Yes!" and then reported the matter to the headquarters.
Soon this news reached the ears of Wu Qianli and Zhou Weimin.
"Commander, what do you think the Japanese want to do? I don't believe they just want to collect the bodies."
"I think the devils must have some intention."
Wu Qianli looked at Zhou Weimin beside him and said slowly.
Having suffered losses before, Wu Qianli no longer trusted the Japanese and felt that they must have some conspiracy.
"No matter what his intentions are, we just need to keep a close eye on the movements of the devils."
"We have suffered heavy losses so far, so a ceasefire would be beneficial to us."
"As long as we wait until nightfall and the tank troops arrive outside Chidong County, we will have won this war."
After hearing Wu Qianli's words, Zhou Weimin said indifferently.
In Zhou Weimin's opinion, no matter what conspiracy the Japanese have, it is beneficial for them to temporarily stop attacking the Tiger Guards Division.
You must know that the Tiger Guard Division has suffered heavy losses.
If this continues, the guard regiment defending the north gate of Chidong County will be wiped out.
"Then we agree to the Japanese's request?" Wu Qianli said slowly after hearing Zhou Weimin's words.
"I agree, of course I agree."
"But inform the troops to make all necessary preparations. After the Japanese have collected the bodies, we will also collect some of our soldiers' bodies."
"Also notify Wang Dali, Liu Feng, and Sun Hu to pay special attention to the movements of the Japanese."
"After all, Wang Dali, Liu Feng, and Sun Hu just made the Japanese suffer a great loss."
After hearing Wu Qianli's words, Zhou Weimin said to Wu Qianli without hesitation.
"Okay, I'll go and notify them now." Wu Qianli nodded and said.
Following Zhou Weimin's order.
The soldiers on the front line went to the battlefield again and agreed to the devil's request.
Not long after the Japanese soldiers returned, hundreds of Japanese soldiers without guns appeared on the battlefield and began to collect the bodies of the Japanese soldiers.
The same situation exists at the South Gate, East Gate, and West Gate of Chidong County.
After the Japanese have collected the bodies.
Soldiers of the Tiger Guard Division also went to the battlefield to collect the bodies of the Tiger Guard Division soldiers.
However, there were very few bodies of Tiger Guards soldiers on the battlefield, so the time to collect the bodies was much shorter than that of the Japanese.
By the time the bodies of the soldiers from both sides were collected, the sky was almost dark.
