As time went by, the night became deeper and deeper.
The wind got stronger and stronger, and snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
This is the harbinger of a blizzard!
"Commander Bo, look at this, God is really going to help us." Seeing the weather quickly getting bad, the officer of the Jinsui Army said to Bo Zuoyi in surprise.
Bo Zuoyi turned on his flashlight, and the beam of the flashlight shone into the night sky. Snowflakes were flying, and the wind was getting stronger. It was indeed going to snowstorm.
Since a blizzard is coming, I definitely won't play with the Japanese anymore.
When the blizzard passes, our Jinsui Army will come out to collect the bodies of Guangye Beicun and the others.
Bo Zuoyi said decisively: "Send the order and the entire army will quickly withdraw to a safe area to avoid the snowstorm."
"Yes." The officers of the Jinsui Army quickly went to deliver the order.
"Commander Bo, this blizzard is so good. When it gets bright tomorrow, the Japanese planes won't be able to airdrop supplies to them." The staff all laughed.
"I just don't know how long this snowstorm will last..." Bo Zuoyi looked at the snowflakes.
Although the three Japanese divisions are now in dire straits, the blizzard will freeze a large number of Japanese soldiers to death.
But it also depends on how long the snowstorm lasts.
If it lasts for a short time, it will not be enough to completely reduce the number of Japanese soldiers in the three divisions.
Of course, if this snowstorm lasts for three or five days, there's nothing to say.
The Japanese soldiers of the three divisions were basically frozen into ice sculptures!
"Looking like this, it will have to blow for at least two days." The staff of the Jinsui Army said, "This is the first snowstorm this year. In previous years, the snowstorm will have to blow for at least two days."
"Forget it, I don't want to think so much anymore, let's withdraw." Bo Zuoyi said.
"yes."
In this way, seeing the blizzard approaching, the troops of the Jinsui Army decisively withdrew.
As for the Japanese soldiers of the three divisions, their situation was completely different.
Originally, a large number of soldiers among them suffered from frostbite because their shoes and trousers were soaked. They were unable to make fires and could not cook and could only eat dry food.
But just eating dry food and not drinking water makes it difficult to survive.
As night fell and the temperature dropped, Hirono Kitamura and other division commanders called on the Japanese soldiers to hold on as long as possible. As long as they lasted until dawn tomorrow, airdrops of supplies from planes were hope.
However, God was not kind to us. In the middle of the night, the wind picked up and the snowflakes began to fall. A snowstorm was coming.
For the three Japanese divisions, it was really raining all night long. No, it was not just raining all night long. It was like heavy hail falling directly from the sky. The airdrop of the Japanese division was killed in advance. This was a direct result. To push them ruthlessly towards the abyss of death.
"Division commander, a snowstorm is coming, what should we do?" Many Japanese officers gathered around Hirono Kitamura.
Hirono Kitamura looked extremely frustrated at the situation in front of him.
Even if the army does not have a large number of frostbite victims, it will not be easy for the troops to seize the time to escape the blizzard.
But right now, there are a large number of people with frostbite in the army. As the temperature continues to drop, the situation is getting worse.
In this case, the troops carrying a large number of frostbitten people could not move fast at all.
Once a blizzard arrives, the non-combat attrition situation will be desperate.
Even normal soldiers would find it difficult to survive in a snowstorm, let alone those with frostbite.
In this case, there is actually another way.
That is to give up the frostbitten people and let the normal soldiers retreat quickly.
Try to move to a safe area before the blizzard completely blows.
But there is not much hope for this road.
Because of the muddy snow, my legs couldn't run fast.
A storm is coming, and the soldiers may not be able to outrun the bad weather.
But, this is at least a way.
If he continues to stay here with Dong Bing, he can only sit back and wait for death.
The destructive power of a snowstorm is no joke.
"Report to the division commander, the Jinsui Army has withdrawn." At this time, a Japanese officer came to report.
"What time has this happened? Who cares about the Jinsui Army!" Someone scolded, "Whoever wants to carry it out in front of the blizzard is looking for death!"
But more Japanese officers turned their attention to Hirono Kitamura:
"Division commander, you have an idea about what we should do now."
"Division Commander, a blizzard is coming, you can't hesitate."
"Division Commander, we cannot be annihilated here."
…
Facing the voices of a group of Japanese officers, Hirono Kitamura finally made up his mind: "A snowstorm is coming, we can't all stay here."
"Division commander, we don't quite understand what you mean?" The Japanese officers had actually understood Hirono Kitamura's words, but no one wanted to say it directly. This was too cruel.
"Soldiers who can still move normally should evacuate immediately and move towards a safe place in the rear." Hirono Kitamura tried hard not to let his voice tremble, but he still couldn't control it: "Soldiers who can't leave, then Stay, don't be a burden. I am also a wounded soldier now, I won't leave, I will stay with the wounded soldiers."
When the Japanese officers heard this, they lost control of their emotions:
"No, division commander, we cannot abandon the wounded soldiers."
"Division Commander, we won't leave even if you ask us to."
"Division commander, if you want to leave, let's go together, or we will die here together."
"Yes, division commander, let's go together!"
…
"Baga!" Hirono Kitamura roared, "Do you really want our division to be wiped out here! Let the normal soldiers evacuate and save the fire of our division. We still have a chance to make a comeback! If all If they are all destroyed here, this will be the biggest shame for our army since the war began!"
"It's all this idiot Yamamoto Kazuki who caused us misery."
"Damn Kazuki Yamamoto, if we hadn't cooperated with his special operations, how could our division have fallen to this point!"
"Division Commander, can we take you away?"
"Division Commander, we cannot abandon you."
…
The emotionally broken Japanese officers all began to cry bitterly. Some were cursing Yamamoto Kazuki, some were lamenting the tragic fate of the division, and some were reluctant to separate!
"Baga, we are soldiers and embody the spirit of Bushido!" Hirono Kitamura tried hard not to cry. He roared at the Japanese officers, "Put away your tears before the snowstorm comes. Evacuate immediately and follow the order!"
"Division Commander..."
"Baga, execute the order!" Hirono Kitamura picked up the pistol and put the muzzle of the gun against his head. "If anyone wants to take me away again, I will pull the trigger immediately."
Hirono Kitamura knew that abandoning a large number of wounded soldiers would be extremely chilling.
Only if he, the division commander, takes the lead to stay can the people who leave take steps.
A blizzard is coming and they must leave as soon as possible.
"Ha Yi, division commander!"
"Division Commander, take care!"
The Japanese officers wiped away their tears and quickly carried out the order.
As soon as the Japanese soldiers below heard that they could move, they immediately left, while those who couldn't left stayed behind. Instantly, a big wave was caused:
"Baga, is there any mistake? Are we wounded soldiers going to be abandoned?"
"My legs are so cold that I can't feel anything, but I don't want to die, why don't you take me with you!"
"Abandoning wounded soldiers is not in line with the discipline of the imperial army!"
"A blizzard is coming. I won't survive anyway, so I shouldn't be a burden."
"I am no longer a burden. I don't want our entire division to be wiped out here."
"Didn't the division commander also stay? If the division commander can stay, why can't we?"
"Yes, the division commander is with us. We are not alone."
…
Although the Japanese soldiers had mixed reactions, the order was quickly executed.
The Japanese soldiers who were still able to move were quickly mobilized to evacuate.
The wounded soldiers, the frozen soldiers, they all stayed.
Like a piece of grass abandoned in the wilderness.
The wounded Japanese soldiers and the frozen soldiers huddled together, shivering.
"Warriors, I am sorry for you." Hirono Kitamura finally couldn't control his tears.
"Division Commander, we don't blame you!"
"Division Commander, we can die with you, we are content."
"Division Commander, you stayed, we can die together, we don't blame you!"
"To blame only the Chinese is too despicable!"
"I still have to blame God, why is there a snowstorm at this time?"
…
The wounded Japanese soldiers and frozen soldiers followed Hirono Kitamura to shed tears together and welcomed the coming blizzard in the snow.
In addition to Hirono Kitamura's division, the other two divisions also issued the same order.
Soldiers who cannot leave should stay and should not be burdensome.
Healthy soldiers who can evacuate should seize the time to evacuate and save fire for the division to avoid the division being annihilated.
And they didn't know yet that the mechanized troops sent by Shinozuka Yoshio had been completely wiped out. Li Yunlong's troops would occupy the two bridges, and they had no chance of survival at all.
The wind is getting stronger and stronger.
Gu Yong
The snow is getting heavier and heavier.
A blizzard is coming!
…
Taiyuan First Army Headquarters
Moriyama Otani came over and said to Yoshio Shinozuka, "General, there is still no response from the mechanized troops."
Yoshio Shinozuka ordered the mechanized troops to retreat immediately after losing another tank.
But now, an hour has passed, and no telegram has been received from the mechanized troops.
Shinozuka Yoshio felt something was wrong, so he asked Moriyama Otani to take the initiative to contact the mechanized troops.
"Baga!" When Yoshio Shinozuka heard this, the ominous omen in his heart became even worse. Could it be that the entire mechanized army was wiped out! !
"If you contact me again, I won't believe it. They will be wiped out..." Yoshio Shinozuka roared angrily.
Before he finished speaking, Miyano Michichi hurried over: "General, the weather has deteriorated, and there is a high possibility of a snowstorm."
snowstorm!
When Yoshio Shinozuka heard this word, he could not stand still.
Just when it got dark, the wind picked up.
At that time, he prayed in his heart that there should never be a snowstorm, otherwise the emperor's soldiers in three divisions would be in danger.
But now, the more you worry about something, the more it will happen.
Hearing this, Moriyama Otani quickly walked to the window and opened it.
The cold wind brought snowflakes inside, and Moriyama Otani quickly closed the window again.
Moriyama Otani turned to look at Shinozuka Yoshio: "General, the blizzard is going to blow soon. The airdrop from Commander Okamura's side may be impossible..."
thump!
Shinozuka Yoshio simply passed out.
If the mechanized troops can't be contacted, it's probably a sign of misfortune.
Once the mechanized troops are gone, those two bridges will inevitably be occupied by Tubal Road.
As long as two bridges are blown up on the Tubal Road, air support will not be able to pass, and a blizzard will come, and the three divisions will have a narrow escape.
Such a cruel reality broke Yoshio Shinozuka's psychology. He was like a broken ship that kept leaking water and finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"General, General..." Moriyama Otani and Miyano Michichi quickly pinched Shinozuka Yoshio's men and called the military doctor.
The military doctor immediately sent Yoshio Shinozuka for diagnosis and treatment.
Miyano Michichi said to Moriyama Otani: "Did the general ask you to mobilize a regiment of troops from Taiyuan City Defense?"
"Yes." Moriyama Otani nodded, "They have already set off."
"The snowstorm is coming, let them come back." Miyano Michichi said.
"Chief of Staff, we can't contact the mechanized troops. The retreat of the three divisions is very likely to be cut off by Tubal Road. They are in a snowstorm. We must find a way to rescue them." Moriyama Otani said unwillingly. very.
"How to save, it's a blizzard!" Miyano Michichi shook his head, human beings are very small in the face of natural disasters.
"Could it be that these three divisions really..." Moriyama Otani.
"It depends on their luck." Miyano Michichi shook his head again. A blizzard is coming. No matter how many people are sent over, they will die.
The only thing the three divisions can rely on is themselves.
…
"Captain, a snowstorm is coming." Yang Dali came over and pushed Li Yunlong awake.
"I'm talking about why it suddenly became so cold." Li Yunlong climbed up and wrapped the quilt around him. "Since a blizzard is coming, let the soldiers hide."
"I have already ordered you to go down. The first and second regiments have also evacuated to safe places." Yang Dali said to Li Yunlong, "It's just that the commander of the second regiment asked me to ask you, do you want to blow up those two bridges?"
"A blizzard is coming, and the Japanese will definitely want to escape." Li Yunlong said without even thinking, "Blow up the two bridges and don't give the Japanese a chance to go back."
The new brigade came out mainly to cut off the escape route of the little Japanese.
Of course, it is easier to blow up a bridge than to build one. Li Yunlong will not blow up a bridge rashly unless absolutely necessary, because we will have to cross this bridge next year.
But now the new group has to escape the snowstorm, and no one can be left on the other side of the two bridges.
If we don't blow up the bridge, if the Japanese soldiers' potential explodes in a desperate situation, wouldn't it be like letting the tiger go back to the mountains?
Therefore, to be on the safe side, we can only blow up the bridge first.
"Yes." Yang Dali responded and sent someone back to inform the second regiment commander's people.
The Second Regiment received Li Yunlong's order and quickly executed it.
boom!
boom!
Two huge explosions sounded, and two bridges spanning the river collapsed.
The stone fell into the cold river water and disappeared in an instant.
call!
call!
call!
…
A blizzard is coming, and the cold wind is like a knife, ruthlessly cutting everything on the earth.
The Japanese soldiers of the three divisions have great potential to explode in desperate situations.
Most of them really outrun the blizzard. When they ran to the river, the blizzard was only ten minutes away from them.
However, the ten minutes they spent all their efforts to gain it were meaningless at all.
Because the bridge over the river is gone, even if there is a harbor to escape the snowstorm a few miles away on the other side of the river, it can only be imagined.
The river is actually not wide, only about twenty meters.
It's winter now, the river is not flowing fast and there is no ice.
But the twenty-meter river has become an insurmountable chasm for the Japanese soldiers.
Countless Japanese soldiers were kneeling on the river bank, howling like madmen:
"Baga, who on earth cut off our division's retreat!"
"Baga, the despicable Chinese people, it must be the despicable Chinese people who blew up our bridge!"
"Baga, do we really want our division to end here!"
"No, that's impossible!"
"I want to go back, I must go back."
"I must go back."
…
Listening to the howling of the blizzard behind them getting louder and louder, many Japanese soldiers chose to take risks.
They jumped into the non-turbulent but bitingly cold river like dumplings and tried to swim across.
The biting cold river water, like a beast, swallowed up a large number of Japanese soldiers in an instant.
As soon as countless Japanese soldiers entered the river, they quickly sank.
Of course, there were also strong-willed Japanese soldiers who were better at swimming, and they successfully swam across the twenty-meter river.
Although the natural chasm has been swam, the desperate situation has not been lifted.
The cold river water took away a lot of their body temperature. Many people collapsed on the other side of the river and could no longer stand up.
Some Japanese soldiers also stood up. They tried hard to run, but they had no strength at all.
They ran as hard as they could, basically exhausted.
Forced swimming squeezes their body's potential, so they can't run at all.
Unable to run, some people tried hard to crawl back.
But his body, which was rapidly hypothermic, quickly became hard and unruly.
call!
call!
call!
…
What makes the Japanese soldiers even more desperate is the arrival of a snowstorm!
The cold like a knife ruthlessly harvested the lives of the Japanese soldiers.
The goose-feather-like snow fell down, quickly covering the corpses of the Japanese soldiers. No one was spared from the natural disaster!
This river of death, in conjunction with natural disasters, successfully wiped out all the Japanese soldiers who had evacuated here.
As for Hirono Kitamura, the situation is similar.
When the blizzard swept here, the wounded and frozen soldiers quickly lost their body temperature, and then turned into ice sculptures, and were finally buried by the heavy snow.
Before Hirono Kitamura died, he sat cross-legged on the ground, his hands stretched toward the northeast, as if he wanted to hug something.
To the northeast, that is the location of his hometown.
He also has an elderly mother and a cute little son at home. He is only nine years old. Unfortunately, he will never be able to hug his family again.
Since you have become an invader and trampled on other people's land, you must pay the price for your actions.
call!
call!
call!
…
The blizzard was blowing, and the sound of the wind was like a sentence.
It seems to be announcing the atrocities and crimes of the Japanese army, and ruthlessly punishing and criticizing the Japanese soldiers!
At the same time, it seems to be encouraging the people on this land: Don’t be afraid when facing invaders, but resist bravely!
