night falls
Tojo Ichiro's attack still did not stop.
The Japanese soldiers wanted to use the cover of night to attack, but Bo Zuoyi's troops fired flares.
The flares turned the night into day. Under the fire of heavy machine guns, the corpses of the Japanese and traitors could only be piled up like stacks of Arhats on top of each other at the forward position. Although the distance to the forward position of the Jinsui Army was getting closer and closer, the price was getting higher and higher. big.
The increasing casualties made the Imperial Army soldiers who wanted to survive even more wavering.
Seeing that it was getting dark, the opportunity came.
"Damn, it's finally dark, I won't wait for you anymore."
"Count me in, I'm going to run over and surrender."
"If you want to live, take advantage of the opportunity and run away."
"As long as we can outrun the bullets of the supervising team, we have a chance to survive. Otherwise, we will die sooner or later under the heavy machine gun fire of the Jinsui Army."
…
Taking advantage of the dark night, there were escapes among the Imperial Army.
Although the Japanese team tried desperately to stop it, they were unable to completely stop it.
Firstly, the Japs' marksmanship declined at night, and secondly, they killed many Imperial Army soldiers during the day and were really running out of ammunition.
"Commander Bo, the troops below have begun to receive the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who sneaked over to surrender at night." A staff officer reported to Bo.
There was no need to instigate rebellion against the Imperial Alliance Army, as the other party itself came over and surrendered.
"Yeah." Bo Zuoyi hummed, "Remember to do as I say. Those who surrender must take off all their clothes, raise their hands high and cannot carry weapons. Anyone who cannot speak Chinese, as well as those wearing diapers, , kill them all. If there are soldiers from the Imperial Alliance Army who can report the Japs hiding in the crowd, they will be rewarded heavily!"
"The troops below are following your instructions, Commander Bo, and no Japanese have been found among them yet," the staff officer replied.
"Then don't be careless. Anyone who dares to let a Japanese into our territory will be shot together with his superiors!" Hirosaku was solemn. He could predict that Tojo Ichiro would not let go of this opportunity to infiltrate.
There are no Japs now, so it’s hard to tell later.
"yes."
…
"General, while it was dark, there were a large number of retreats by the Imperial Army." A staff officer came over to report to Ichiro Tojo.
"Let the supervising team stop them." Tojo Ichiro waved his hands, his voice starting to become hoarse.
Watching outstanding soldiers fall under heavy machine gun fire from the Jinsui Army, he lost control several times and his voice became hoarse.
"The ammunition of the supervising team is not enough. There are too many soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army running away. The manpower of the supervising team is insufficient." the staff member replied.
"Baga!" Ichiro Tojo cursed fiercely, "This damn Chinaman is always useless at critical moments!"
"General, maybe this is our opportunity too," the staff officer said.
"What opportunity?" Tojo Ichiro paused.
"Let our soldiers put on the uniforms of the Imperial Army, pretend to be the fleeing Imperial Army, mix with the Imperial Army, and move towards the Jinsui Army together..." The staff officer did not finish his words.
Tojo Ichiro's eyes lit up: "Yoshi, Yoshi, this is a good idea. The escape of these useless Chinese people can actually create opportunities for us."
"General, I'm going to prepare," the staff officer said.
"Go quickly, go quickly." Tojo Ichiro urged, and even immediately began to issue orders to stop the attack.
The continuous attack stopped immediately.
The Japanese soldiers were temporarily relieved. Even if they were supported by the spirit of Bushido, to be fair, no one was really afraid of death.
The fellow villagers who missed their hometown yesterday have become cold corpses today.
The comrades who had dinner together yesterday were nowhere to be seen today.
The comrades who slept together yesterday were alone today.
Although the Japs are inhumane, they still have emotions.
"General, why did you stop attacking?" Miyano Michichi came over and asked.
"There have been a lot of rout incidents among the Imperial Alliance Army, and I'm going to change my thinking." Tojo Ichiro said.
"Could it be that you are planning to let our Emperor's soldiers disguise themselves as the fleeing Imperial Army and take this opportunity to sneak into the Shanxi-Sui Army?" Miyano Michichi, as the Chief of Staff of the North China Expeditionary Army, reacted quickly and immediately I guessed what Tojo Ichiro was thinking.
"That's right." Tojo Ichiro nodded and said to Miyano Michichi, "You have also seen that it is meaningless for us to continue charging. We may be able to open a way out through the cover of the defeated Imperial Alliance Army."
"General, I actually thought of this method during the day." Miyano Michichi said tactfully.
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Tojo Ichiro asked.
"General, the commander of the Jinsui Army opposite is a righteous man. He is not a mediocre person. He must have been on guard against our attack." Miyano Michichi said, "Our soldiers can't speak Chinese, and it's very difficult for them to speak Chinese." It’s easy to reveal your secrets.”
"Then look for soldiers or officers who can speak Chinese." Tojo Ichiro said.
"General, I've been looking for them all day, and I haven't found anyone." Miyano Michichi shook his head.
This is a combat force, not an intelligence agent.
Finding soldiers of the emperor who could speak Chinese was as difficult as finding an eight-legged toad.
"Hmph, I don't believe that he can completely defend against it!" Tojo Ichiro still hummed. It was dark and there were no planes coming. Tojo Ichiro could predict that the guys from the military department must still be there now. In the quarrel, I'm afraid the plane won't come.
There is no absolutely tight defense in this world.
This is like Yoshio Shinozuka being a logistics officer. He personally checks the logistics supply. Yoshio Shinozuka is not a mediocre person. He must have thought over and over again every link personally.
Under such circumstances, the strategic masters of the 18th Army succeeded.
What does this mean? It means that there is no absolutely tight defense in the world.
At present, even if Bo Zuoyi is well prepared, it is impossible for him to make any omissions.
There is definitely a chance to approach the Jinsui Army at night and launch a sudden attack!
"Then give it a try." Miyano Michichi said nothing more.
After all, he had no better way.
However, when the Japanese soldiers who put on the uniforms of the Imperial Association Army were about to leave, Miyano Michichi immediately stopped them.
"Remember these words, brothers of the Jinsui Army, don't shoot, don't shoot... we surrender..." Miyano Michichi asked the translators in the Imperial Association Army to seize the time and briefly teach the Japanese soldiers a few words. There's no way I can speak Chinese at all.
Otherwise, this is all a matter of death.
The Japanese soldiers barely memorized a few Chinese words, and then took advantage of the darkness to pass.
…
"Listen up, Commander Bo said. If the Japs suddenly stop attacking, they must be plotting. If things go wrong, the Japs will mix with the incoming Imperial Army and use flares. Anyone wearing clothes or holding a gun will be killed. ." On the Jinsui Army side, the staff quickly passed instructions to the soldiers.
Peng!
Peng!
Peng!
…
The flares were fired one after another, and the earth was illuminated brightly.
The Japanese soldiers mixed in the crowd of the Imperial Alliance Army were immediately as obvious as lice on a bald man's head. They were either armed or still wearing clothes.
As for the surrendered Imperial Army, they only heard the shouting that they were not allowed to wear clothes or hold weapons until they were halfway through.
In the darkness, the Imperial Alliance troops quickly followed suit.
The Japanese soldiers could not understand the shouts of the Jinsui Army, and they could not see the movements of the Imperial Association Army taking off their clothes in the darkness.
When the flares were fired, the Japanese soldiers who wanted to follow the Imperial Association Army were immediately shot at mercilessly by the Jinsui Army. The Japanese soldiers who wanted to fool them were knocked down even if they yelled the words they had just learned. .
"Damn it, this little devil is very smart. He actually knows a few words of Chinese." The officers of the Jinsui Army cursed while attacking.
"Sir, there are Japanese soldiers sneaking in behind here. They took off their clothes in advance and did not carry weapons. How can we tell them apart?" the soldiers asked.
The officers slapped him in the face and cursed: "You don't know how to ask more damn questions. Ask his father's name, ask his mother's name. If you can't answer, shoot." Besides, This unarmed Japs is using his bare hands, and you are holding a fire stick in your hand! If you can’t beat the unarmed Japs with your weapons, then if Commander Bo wants to shoot us, then we deserve it!”
"Yes." The soldiers of the Jinsui Army responded and strictly remembered it.
Sure enough, the Japanese soldiers behind them imitated the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army. They did not carry any strips of cloth on their bodies, and mingled into the crowd of the Imperial Association Army with their hands raised in the air.
Although some of them were temporarily fooled into getting close to the soldiers of the Jinsui Army, the soldiers of the Jinsui Army asked a few more questions, and the Japanese soldiers immediately showed their flaws and were shot without mercy.
Even if a translator from the Imperial Alliance Army was threatened, he would be asked to translate for the Japanese soldiers in a low voice.
Basically no one in the translator soldiers is stupid. The way to survive is in front of them, so the fools continue to work for the Japanese.
Most of the translators rebelled against the enemy. Instead of translating for the Japanese soldiers, they directly betrayed and identified the Japanese soldiers.
Tojo Ichiro worked hard all night, but failed to achieve any results except sending many emperor's soldiers to death.
"Baga, damn Bo Zuoyi!" Tojo Ichiro scolded.
"General, are we still attacking today?" a staff officer asked Tojo Ichiro in a low voice.
"No more attacking, just stay where you are." Tojo Ichiro changed his mind.
"General, if we don't attack today, the Jinsui Army will complete the siege of our army." The staff officer paused.
Yesterday, Tojo Ichiro still vowed to fight to the end, but today he will not fight and just sit back and watch the Jinsui Army encircle him?
Could it be that Tojo Ichiro didn't know that once the encirclement was completed, the army would be nothing but dumplings.
"Do you think we can kill them today?" Tojo Ichiro asked.
The staff officer was silent. It didn't work when morale was at its peak yesterday, and I'm afraid it will be even worse today.
"Execute the order, let the troops quickly deploy defenses, and we will switch from offense to defense." Tojo Ichiro said.
"Ha Yi." The staff officer went.
The troops turned from attack to defense, and Miyano Michichi came over again and asked: "General, are you going to go out today?"
"I have already sent electricity to those two divisions to ask them to speed up." Tojo Ichiro said, "If we want to break out, it seems we can only rely on them. We should save some ammunition and use it when the time comes. "
"General, they were blocked by the river. They built bridges many times, but they were destroyed by the Jinsui Army." Miyano said, "If you want them to speed up, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of? Is it unrealistic?" Ichiro Tojo interrupted, "Is it realistic if we continue to attack now?"
"General, how about taking advantage of the fact that the Jinsui Army's encirclement has not yet formed and let some of the firepower leave?" Miyano Michichi suggested.
In this way, the siege of the Jinsui Army was completed. If there was any mistake in the army, it would not be completely wiped out.
"Is it useful to leave?" Tojo Ichiro shook his head, "The 18th Army has not taken action yet. Even if some firepower goes out, can they escape the pursuit of the 18th Army?"
It's not that Tojo Ichiro hasn't considered it, but it just doesn't work.
In this way, the strength is dispersed.
Miyano Michichi stopped talking.
Under the order of Tojo Ichiro, the Japanese soldiers quickly turned to defense and seized the time to build fortifications.
The Japanese soldiers stopped fighting, and the opportunity for the Imperial Army to escape was also pinched.
The Imperial Army soldiers were forced to dig trenches and fortifications by the Japanese soldiers, and were miserable.
"Commander Hiroshi, has Tojo Ichiro given up on breaking out?" Seeing that the Japanese soldiers stopped attacking, the staff asked Hiroshi.
"Ichiro Tojo is conserving his strength. He wants to wait for the two divisions behind us to come closer and then break through." Hiroshi hit the nail on the head.
"Hmph, if those two divisions can't repair the bridge, don't even think about coming over." A staff officer hummed.
"Don't be careless, intelligence shows that the Japanese engineers have obviously accelerated their speed, and their covering firepower has also increased." Bo Zuoyi said, "We still have to hurry up."
"Commander Bo means..." The staff members were suspicious.
"Since Tojo Ichiro is not going to attack, let's attack." Hirosakuyi said.
"What, Commander Bo, we take the initiative to attack?"
"What, is it not possible?" Bo Zuoyi said seriously, "We have artillery support, which can destroy the fortifications that the Japanese are deploying. We have sufficient ammunition, but the Japanese soldiers do not. We have the advantage to take the initiative to attack."
"Commander Bo, but the Japanese soldiers still have some ammunition..."
"We can't delay it for too long. Who knows what kind of changes will happen if we delay it for a long time. We must speed up the process." Bo Zuoyi quickly made up his mind and quickly discussed a plan to take the initiative to attack.
The proactive attack plan was quickly discussed and finalized.
The siege of Tojo Ichiro by the Jinsui Army was also completed. Under Hiroshi's order, the Jinsui Army immediately launched attacks from all directions.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
The artillery of the Jinsui Army roared, and the dense shells blew up the simple fortifications built by the Japanese and traitors into ruins. The corpses of the Japanese and traitors flew everywhere along with the dirt.
"Come on!"
"Kill!"
…
Under the cover of artillery fire, the soldiers of the Jinsui Army quickly began to attack.
Firstly, the Japanese traitors were short of ammunition, and secondly, they were suppressed by artillery. The soldiers of the Jinsui Army rushed to the position of the Japanese traitors without much effort, and soon opened a gap.
Seeing the unfavorable situation, the Imperial Army on the battlefield surrendered immediately.
After all, they had no bullets, and the Jinsui Army was armed with live ammunition, so that was nothing.
The Imperial Army surrendered, the few Japanese soldiers were quickly slaughtered, and the Jinsui Army quickly occupied the front line.
The remaining Japanese soldiers were defeated and retreated to compress the defense line.
"General, what should we do? The Jinsui Army's offensive is too fierce. Everywhere they go, the Imperial Alliance Army will surrender at the first touch. The Emperor's soldiers do not have enough ammunition and cannot stop the opponent at all." The staff officers turned towards Tojo. Ichiro shouted.
"Baga, damn Bo Zuoyi, damn Jinsui Army, damn it." Tojo Ichiro was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do.
The defeated generals of the Jinsui Army, this group of bugs, are simply taking advantage of others' danger.
This is like a group of powerful lions that can conquer any enemy on the grassland, but in the end they cannot defeat the Jinsui Army. It is as disgusting as a swarm of mosquitoes.
"General, although the Jinsui Army has launched an all-out attack, their forces are scattered. If we concentrate our superior forces, we may be able to break through." Miyano Michichi suggested.
"Just do it." Tojo Ichiro did not hesitate, this was the last chance.
If you can't get out again, you really can't get out.
The superior Japanese soldiers were quickly gathered, and they immediately attacked like tigers descending from the mountain.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
As everyone knows, Hiroshii has reserved artillery fire and has been waiting for Tojo Ichiro's move.
When the superior Japanese soldiers charged, they were immediately bombarded by intensive artillery fire.
When the Japanese soldiers' charge was blown into pieces by artillery fire, the reserve force of the Jinsui Army pounced on them.
Da da da!
Da da da!
Da da da!
…
The soldiers in the reserve force are basically all equipped with automatic firearms, which are Thompson submachine guns copied from Lao Yan's arsenal in the past.
Under the fire from the imitation Thompson submachine gun, the Japanese soldiers were no match at all and fell like grass in the wind.
"Baga, damn Bo Zuoyi, he still hides a trump card." Tojo Ichiro's eyes were cracked, and he was going crazy when he saw that his side was pounced by the opponent, and the emperor's soldiers fell like wheat. .
The last chance to break out was lost.
"Send power directly to the military headquarters and tell them that the Jinsui Army has taken the initiative to attack us. We can't hold on for long. We are in urgent need of support. We are in urgent need of support!" Miyano Michichi yelled at the telegraph soldiers, "Also give the two divisions If we don’t come over to generate electricity, we will be completely wiped out.”
The hands of the telegraph soldiers trembling when generating electricity, and they had to generate electricity as quickly as possible.
At this moment, even if the Japanese soldiers have a strong will to fight, their will to fight cannot be used as ammunition.
As the reserve soldiers armed with imitation Thompson submachine guns entered the main battlefield, the Japanese soldiers were completely defeated.
Wherever the reserve soldiers went, the Imperial Army surrendered without hesitation.
The prelude to this battle is about to come to an end under the attack of the reserve soldiers.
"Commander Bo, the firepower of this imitation Thompson submachine gun is so fierce that the Japanese soldiers have no power to resist it." The staff of the Jinsui Army looked through the binoculars at the scene of reserve soldiers killing all directions with imitation Thompson submachine guns. There were triumphant smiles on their faces.
Once upon a time, Ichiro Tojo led an army to attack them with great momentum. Commander Yan immediately ordered the troops to prepare for transfer, always worried about Ichiro Tojo coming to kill him.
But now, our Jinsui Army has been able to severely injure Tojo Ichiro and see the dawn and hope of victory. This is like a lifetime ago!
"This is Chief Yan's ace family background. How can we underestimate his combat power?" Bo Zuoyi was also high-spirited.
Finally, the clouds cleared and the sun and moon could be seen. I am worthy of the fellow citizens of Jin Province, and worthy of the country and nation.
