Yoshio Shinozuka reacted very quickly. Instead of ordering the front-line troops to hold on, he ordered the front-line troops to immediately abandon their positions and retreat to the second-line defense positions.
In order to reduce the losses of the artillery unit, he assigned the task of carrying the artillery to ordinary infantry, and withdrew the artillery and other technical arms as soon as possible, thus preserving a large amount of manpower.
"Chief of Staff, immediately ignite the explosives buried in the front-line positions to force the enemy to stop the attack!"
"Hai! I'll make arrangements right away!"
Ippei Mitsui hurriedly left the command center and went to convey the order.
Yoshio Shinozuka led the command center to retreat immediately. He would not put himself in danger.
"Captain, something is wrong. The Japanese on the outermost line of defense suddenly retreated and stopped firing at us. This is totally abnormal."
"I suspect the Japanese have some conspiracy waiting for us. We can't let the troops charge forward any further."
Deputy Battalion Commander Jiang Pingchuan quickly stopped him.
"Deputy Battalion Commander, your consideration is not unreasonable. A general is not subject to orders from his master when he is away from home. Since we feel the danger, let's stop and wait until the bombers finish their attack.
The group of bombers arrived near the sky above Niangzi Pass and, guided by the lights on the ground, arrived above the Japanese camp.
"Attention, all aircraft. We have reached the target. We are now descending to an altitude of one thousand meters and starting to drop bombs."
"We must drop all the bombs we carry. Don't leave any behind."
"Two minutes to prepare for the bombing. Once the bombing is complete, we will immediately return to the base. After loading new bombs, we will proceed with the second round of bombing."
Under Lin Zhenhua's command, the bomber group began to drop bombs downwards. Hundreds of bombs fell from the sky and smashed madly towards the ground.
The rumbling sounds of explosions rang out one after another, knocking down the Japanese soldiers who had not yet evacuated.
Yoshio Shinozuka, who had noticed something was wrong long ago, retreated in time, so that the 11th Army headquarters did not suffer any losses.
"Order the front-line troops to evacuate as soon as possible, the second-line troops to enter the air-raid shelters, and the third-line troops to be ready to reinforce at any time."
"Chief of Staff, immediately inform General Tada of our current situation and request air force support."
"We must fight back against the enemy's night bombings, and tell them that the night is not only their world, but also the world of our Imperial Air Force."
"Mr. Qingtian, you will immediately lead a regiment of troops, concentrate our anti-aircraft artillery, and dispatch a battalion of anti-aircraft firepower to engage in a firefight with the Chinese anti-aircraft artillery unit."
"Let our searchlight battalion strike the enemy with light. Order each brigade to do everything they can to attack the enemy bombers in the air and never let them dive down."
After receiving the battle situation report from the front line, Li Yunlong could no longer stay behind. He had never expected that such a perfect plan would actually go wrong.
"Immediately inform the college students of the situation on the battlefield and ask them to change their attack targets and bomb the enemy's second- and third-line camps."
"Order the anti-aircraft artillery battalion to suspend its attack and begin to retreat from the front. Let the rocket artillery battalion fire another round of salvos to help the anti-aircraft artillery battalion retreat."
"Give orders to Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan to stop the attack immediately and withdraw quickly!"
