Taiyuan First Army Headquarters
The commander of the First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, has been staying at the headquarters recently. Chitose Takeda has led the army to pursue the Eighth Route New Regiment. This time, he can only win and cannot fail again.
Food and accommodation at the headquarters, Yoshio Shinozuka also wanted to get the battle status as soon as possible.
"General, General." Yoshio Shinozuka was woken up from his sleep.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Yoshio Shinozuka immediately became nervous when he heard that the other party's tone was not good.
Could it be that Takeda Senju's encirclement and suppression campaign did not go smoothly, and he fell into the trap of the Eighth Route New Regiment?
"There is an urgent message from Takeda Chiju." The staff officer did not answer, but handed the newly arrived telegram to Shinozuka Yoshio.
Yoshio Shinozuka put on his glasses and took a look at the telegram.
"Baga, stupid, so stupid, it makes me so angry!"
After reading the contents of the telegram, Yoshio Shinozuka angrily tore the telegram into pieces.
Takeda Chitose actually made the same mistake as the Great Bear of Peace Valley, and the food and grass supplies were burned again by the Eight Route Shinichi Regiment.
The Eight-Road New Group used the same routine twice and succeeded both times. This is outrageous!
"General, the situation on General Takeda's side is not too bad. At least they are not alone." The staff advised, "They still have enough fighting power now and can completely tear through the encirclement of the Jinsui Army. We have to let The nearby garrisons must be prepared to respond to them."
"Go ahead and let the nearby garrison prepare to respond to Takeda Chiju." Even though his liver ached with anger, Shinozuka Yoshio had to calm down.
Although Takeda Senju's food and supplies were gone, the troops were still there. The top priority was to get the troops out of the encirclement of the Jinsui Army and then replenish supplies.
"Tell Chiju Takeda to teach the Jinsui Army a lesson when they break out." Yoshio Shinozuka added, "It's best to kill them back so that the clowns of the Jinsui Army don't dare to challenge the majesty of the First Army."
"Ha Yi!" The staff officer nodded and left.
Yoshio Shinozuka no longer felt sleepy. Looking out the window that was still dark, he returned to the map and began to deduce the battle situation.
How should he deal with the situation after Takeda Senju breaks through.
The sky is slightly brightened and dawn is approaching.
The division-level officers under Bo Zuoyi returned to their respective command positions, and the division-level officers personally encouraged morale: "Brothers, the Japanese in our encirclement have no more food, grass, and baggage. At most, they still have dry food to eat for one day. Their ammunition cannot sustain their attack for long. As long as we withstand their breakthrough today, we have a chance to win without a fight."
"Fuck him little devil!"
"We will definitely resist the little devils and not let anyone escape!"
"Victory without fighting, what a beautiful word, just risk it all and do it!"
…
The morale of the officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army is as high as a rainbow!
The Jinsui Army is boosting morale, and the Japanese are also boosting morale.
Takeda Senju spoke personally, first examining himself: "Everyone, the loss of food and supplies has nothing to do with you. It's all my fault. I was careless."
"Division Commander, it's not your fault, it's the Eighth Route Army that is too cunning."
"Division commander, we were not prepared."
…
Takeda Chiju's self-examination quickly won the hearts of the Japanese.
Takeda Chiju continued: "Last night, the Eighth Route Army's new regiment ran away at night, but the Jinsui Army surrounded us desperately, trying to take advantage of us. Do you really think we are made of mud! Fellow warriors, it's dawn. , just use all your strength to let the defeated generals of the Jinsui Army remember it for a long time, and see if they dare to come for death in the future!"
"Division Commander, I can't guarantee anything else. It's not difficult at all to defeat China's regular army."
"Yes, division commander, China's regular army is rigid and rigid. It is the easiest enemy to defeat."
"Don't worry, division commander. I promise to beat him to the point where the Jinsui Army will be full of teeth. He will never dare to be an enemy of our First Army again."
…
The Japs shouted so loudly that they did not pay attention to the Jinsui Army at all.
"Thank you all." Takeda Chiju stooped and bowed, "We will first severely inflict heavy damage on the Jinsui Army to break through, and then go to the nearby garrison to regain supplies. I promise you that we will definitely eliminate Tubal Road before the Chinese New Year. This year, we will definitely You can live smoothly!"
"Division Commander, we will not be defeated."
"Division commander, let's break through and eliminate the Tubal Road first, and then destroy the Jinsui Army. This is too late."
"Yes, division commander, we can't survive this year and have eliminated Tubal Road. Let's attack the Shanxi-Sui Army again and prevent the Chinese from celebrating the New Year!"
"We are not celebrating the Chinese New Year this year, but we are doing it for a better Chinese New Year next year!"
…
The devils shouted.
"Everyone, take the time to eat. We will attack immediately at dawn." Takeda Senju said.
"Hayi!"
Although the Jinsui Army was not taken seriously, the lion and the rabbit also tried their best.
Takeda Senju deeply understood that he must hit the Jinsui Army with a heavy blow to break through.
Otherwise, if the encirclement cannot be broken, the troops cannot break out, and cannot obtain supplies, then they will really become the second Pinggu Big Bear.
Therefore, for this breakfast, Takeda Chiju made the soldiers full. They ate more than half of the day's dry food in one meal.
After the Japanese soldiers finished eating their dry food, it started to get dark.
The Japanese artillery collected the few remaining artillery shells and began to adjust the muzzle of the artillery, preparing to provide artillery cover.
The Japanese machine gunners carefully wiped the machine guns, and the soldiers also carefully maintained their weapons.
The bayonet was also constantly wiped.
The Jinsui Army thinks we are a dragon swimming in shallow water, so let those little shrimps from the Jinsui Army see if we are actually a dragon that has fallen into the water!
When the first ray of the sun shone on this land, Chitose Takeda waved his command sword and personally ordered: "Kill Gadi!"
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
The Japanese artillery roared immediately, and the shells rained down on the Jinsui Army's position.
The Jinsui Army's position was filled with flying snowflakes and mud. The snowflakes and mud were dyed red in the morning glow, making it difficult to tell whether it was the color of the morning glow or the bright red of blood.
The officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army hid in hastily dug bunkers, holding their weapons tightly. Everyone regarded death as if they were home, and no one left the position without authorization.
Chiju Takeda looked at the Jinsui Army's position with a telescope. The Jinsui Army had been suppressed and unable to move.
Takeda Senju waved his hand, and the Japanese soldiers immediately launched a group charge.
Under the rising sun, the Japanese soldiers were like a tide, rushing towards the Jinsui Army's position.
"fire!"
Bo Zuoyi discovered through the telescope that the Japanese had begun to charge, and immediately ordered the artillery fire.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
The artillery of the Jinsui Army immediately began to roar.
There were so many artillery shells like sparrows in the sky, bombarding them indiscriminately towards the Japanese charging people.
There were bombed people and Japanese soldiers lying on their backs everywhere. There were splattered blood fragments everywhere. The sound of exploding shells directly drowned out the miserable cries of the injured.
Although the Japanese suffered heavy losses, no one showed any fear.
On the contrary, the devils were like beasts smelling blood, and they became even crazier.
They ran faster and rushed harder.
Da da da!
Da da da!
Da da da!
…
The officers and soldiers on the Jinsui Army's position saw the Japanese soldiers charging over. Even though the Japanese artillery was still bombarding them indiscriminately, the officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army quickly set up their weapons and braved the artillery to fight back fiercely.
The bullets from the light and heavy machine guns swept into the charging Japanese crowd. Wherever the bullets hit, the Japanese soldiers fell down like wheat.
But the combat effectiveness of the Japanese soldiers is also unparalleled.
The Japanese soldiers fired frequently with the Sanba Gai in their hands, and the bullets accurately killed the machine gunners of the Jinsui Army.
The machine gunner fell in a pool of blood, and his deputy quickly took over, and soon the deputy also fell.
The deputy fell, the ammunition hand was on top, and all the ammunition men were soon dead.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
Not only were the Japs accurate with their marksmanship, but they were also very accurate with their grenades and mortar shells.
The shells seemed to have eyes. Wherever the firepower was the fiercest on the Jinsui Army's position, the shells would fall towards that place.
The important firepower on the Jinsui Army's position was quickly knocked out by the Japanese soldiers.
Without the support of important firepower, it is no longer possible to stop the Japanese group charge.
The Japs rushed to the Jinsui Army's position. The enemy rushed closer, and the bullets in their guns were empty. There was no time to replenish the ammunition. The two sides quickly started a fierce hand-to-hand combat.
The white knife goes in, the red knife comes out!
The officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army were not afraid of death. They threw their heads and blood to stop the Japanese with all their strength.
But there are too many Japanese soldiers, and fighting with bayonets is also a unique skill of Japanese soldiers.
As more and more Jinsui officers and soldiers fell, the Jinsui Army's position was quickly torn open by the Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese soldiers relied on this opening and quickly attacked, tearing the opening wider and wider.
"Commander Bo, Commander Zhang's position cannot be defended." The staff officer said to Bo through the telescope.
"Tell Mr. Zhang that even if you are the last person left, you must hold on for one more hour!" Boyi's words were sonorous.
The Japanese soldiers' group charge was so fierce that even if Master Zhang was to kill them all, he would still have to hold on for another hour.
It's not that Bo Zuoyi doesn't have a reserve team in his hands.
But the reserve team cannot be sent in yet.
Now is the time when the Japanese attack is most ferocious. The reserve team went up but could not withstand it.
They could only let Master Zhang consume as much of the Japs' vigor as possible, but the Japs' vigor had slowed down, and the reserve team came forward again.
"Commander Bo, if we hold on for another hour, Master Zhang may be wiped out." The staff officer said in a trembling tone.
Before the war started, everyone shared the same hatred and wanted to stop the Japanese at all costs.
But when they saw that Master Zhang was about to fight and the entire army was wiped out, everyone was trembling in their hearts.
Bo Zuoyi's eyes narrowed, "Tell Master Zhang to hold on for one more hour!"
"yes."
"Master, Commander Bo ordered us to hold on for another hour before the reserve team comes up." The deputy division commander said to Commander Zhang, "The Japanese attack is so fierce. If we hold on for another hour, I'm afraid there won't be many brothers left."
"Fight!" Commander Zhang said with a determined expression: "The worst case scenario is death. Send me all the security forces."
"Master, the security forces have also been sent up. Who will protect your safety?" the deputy division commander paused.
"If the 39th Division is destroyed, what do you want me as the division commander to do!" Commander Zhang shouted, "Execute the order."
"Yes." The deputy division commander hurriedly went.
Master Zhang held the telescope and continued to observe the battlefield.
Looking at the battlefield, the hot-blooded men of the 39th Division fell one by one under the Japanese bayonets, and his hands were shaking uncontrollably.
But his eyes were getting sharper and sharper.
Even if there is only one person left in the 39th Division, we must hold on for one hour!
"Division Commander, although the resistance of the 39th Division of the Jinsui Army is very tenacious, they are no match for our Emperor's army. According to the current state, half an hour is enough to kill them." A staff officer observed the battlefield with a telescope , said to Takeda Chiju.
Takeda Senju said contemptuously: "Don't think too highly of the defeated generals like the Jinsui Army. I don't think it will take even half an hour."
Seeing that the battle was going smoothly, Takeda Chiju became more confident in breaking through.
"Brothers, see you in the next life."
"Brothers, we can only rely on you to resist the Japanese."
"Brothers, let me take the first step!"
…
Facing the crazy attack of the Japanese soldiers, the casualties of the 39th Division surged, and the defense lines of the positions continued to be torn apart.
Without receiving the order to retreat, the soldiers on the position calmly walked toward death one by one.
Some were holding explosive packs, while others were holding bundles of grenades. They rushed toward the attacking Japanese troops like moths to a flame.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
There was a huge roar, and the bodies of the warriors were blown into pieces. At the same time, it also caused terrible damage to the Japanese soldiers.
But faced with such crazy opposition, the Japanese soldiers became even more crazy.
They did not retreat at all. They rushed forward and continued to charge and fight towards the Jinsui Army's position.
The brave Japanese soldiers are unstoppable and their force is overwhelming.
The guard troops of the 39th Division were sent up. It didn't take long before all the guards were killed, leaving no one left.
Seeing that the Japanese soldiers were about to attack the command post, Commander Zhang took a flower trap and ordered to the people in the division headquarters: "Everyone who can move, follow me."
"Master, the situation is over. It is impossible for the 39th Division to stop the Japanese. Leave some seeds for the 39th Division." Someone said with a crying voice.
"You wounded soldiers who can move, I order you to withdraw now." Commander Zhang said to the wounded soldiers in front of him.
"No, Master, we are not leaving!"
"Master, we can still fight."
"Master, we would rather die than cower!"
"Master, leave some grenades for us."
…
The wounded soldiers were all filled with indignation and no one wanted to leave.
"They are all good. There is not a single coward in our 39th Division!" With tears in Commander Zhang's eyes, he asked someone to leave some grenades for the wounded soldiers. Then he led a small number of people from the headquarters to meet the swarm. The Japanese soldiers came.
Da da da!
Da da da!
Da da da!
…
Master Zhang and others joined the battle with flower traps, which injected fresh blood into the riddled position and increased the intensity of firepower.
But under the huge Japanese army, they are like a flash in the pan.
"Master!" With a exclamation, Master Zhang was shot several times and fell to this beloved land forever.
"Brothers, kill and avenge the Master!"
"Brothers, let's fight."
"Brothers, kill!"
…
With the death of Commander Zhang in the battle, the remaining officers and soldiers of the 39th Division were furious. They all jumped up and faced the Japanese soldiers who were swarming with their rifles that had been empty of bullets.
puff!
puff!
puff!
…
With the sound of bayonets entering the body, the passionate men fell one by one.
The remaining officers and soldiers of the 39th Division could not stop the Japanese soldiers' crazy attack.
The Japanese soldiers rushed to the command post of the 39th Division. Several explosions were heard from the command post, and then there was no movement.
The Japanese soldiers passed the 39th Division's command post and continued the assault.
"It's a bit surprising that the 39th Division was able to block us for an hour." The staff officer looked at the scene through the telescope and said with some surprise.
"The defeated generals of the Jinsui Army are still some bloody people." Takeda Chiju changed his tone slightly and was no longer so contemptuous.
"Commander Bo, one hour is up." The staff officer said to Bo Zuoyi with a trembling voice.
He saw with his own eyes that Commander Zhang was killed in the battle, and that the 39th Division had very few troops left. The fight was too brutal.
"Why are you trembling!" Bo Zuoyi scolded the staff officer, "Give me my order to send the 45th Division up immediately and replace the 39th Division. Leave some seeds for the 39th Division."
"Yes." The staff officer immediately called.
But Bo Zuoyi's hands in his pockets were shaking violently.
Who wouldn't feel heartbroken when a teacher is just gone?
The 45th Division received the order and quickly made up for it.
At this time, there were less than a hundred people left in the 39th Division, and most of them were injured.
"Brothers of the 39th Division, you have worked hard. You can go down and rest. The rest will be left to our 45th Division." The officers and soldiers of the 45th Division quickly took over the defense and said to the remaining officers and soldiers of the 39th Division.
"No, if I don't leave, I will fight with the Japanese."
"I won't leave either, I will die here."
"I will continue to fight against the Japanese, and I will avenge my teacher!"
…
The remaining officers and soldiers of the 39th Division clamored not to leave, but to continue fighting with the Japanese.
Finally, except for the wounded soldiers who could not move, they were unable to continue fighting and were carried down.
The remaining people followed the officers and soldiers of the 45th Division and continued on the battlefield.
The battlefield was as brutal as ever.
The 45th Division came up, and although they were waiting to block the attack, the Japanese soldiers were like crazy and couldn't stop them at all.
They rushed over screaming, and the important firepower points of the 45th Division were quickly taken away. The Japanese soldiers rushed in front of the 45th Division, and the two sides soon started a fierce hand-to-hand battle.
In less than an hour, the 45th Division suffered one-third casualties.
"Commander Bo, if this continues, the 45th Division may not be able to hold on for long." The staff officer shivered even more and said righteously to Bo.
"Don't worry, the Japanese won't be able to hold on for long." Bo Zuoyi tried to calm down.
Although the Japanese attack was fierce, their ammunition was consumed quickly.
In front of me, the Japanese soldiers were already using hand-to-hand combat as much as possible, and their artillery also stopped roaring.
This means they don't have much ammunition left.
As long as you persist, victory is not far away.
But Bo Zuoyi's heart was bleeding, and this victory required a lot of blood.
Seeing the hot-blooded men fall at the feet of the Japanese army, his righteous heart is not iron-clad.
