Reserve soldiers holding imitation Thompson submachine guns, under the cover of artillery fire, they become more and more brave as they fight!
The Japanese soldiers were out of bullets. They wanted to rush over and engage in close combat, but under the intense barrage of bullets, they couldn't get close at all.
Ichiro Tojo had many Japanese officers with excellent commanding abilities, and they forcibly organized counterattacks many times.
But under the attack of reserve soldiers, it quickly collapsed again.
The reserve soldiers were like a runaway train, running rampant in the ranks of Tojo Ichiro's army.
Wherever he goes, he is invincible and unstoppable!
"Baga, Baga, Baga!" Seeing the scene of the army being messed up and the defense line completely collapsed, Tojo Ichiro was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
However, there was nothing he could do.
The soldiers' ammunition was gone, and the Imperial Alliance Army was on the verge of surrender. The battle was over, and even the strategic masters of the 18th Army could not turn the tide.
"General, a telegram has been sent from the First Army Headquarters." A staff officer ran over and handed the newly arrived telegram to Tojo Ichiro.
Tojo Ichiro quickly grabbed it and looked down with strong hope.
Although Tojo Ichiro clearly knew that it was impossible for the First Army to rescue them.
But when people are in desperate situations, they will always deceive themselves and expect some ridiculous miracles.
The Tojo Ichiro in front of me is not immune to this.
"Be sure to hold on!" There were only these five words in the telegram. Tojo Ichiro's eyes were split open when he saw it, and he tore the telegram into countless snowflakes.
Tojo Ichiro cursed: "Damn Shinozuka, you must hold on, can you try to hold on for me?"
"General, we have lost hope for the First Army Headquarters for a long time. The military plane has not arrived for a long time, and there is no hope." The staff officer had a complicated expression. "At the moment, we can only rely on the two divisions behind the Jinsui Army. ”
The reason why the staff officer had a complicated expression was because he knew it well.
It is said that they can only rely on the two divisions behind the Jinsui Army. If they can rely on them, they should probably come over long ago.
And now, they are still trapped on the other side of the river.
"Immediately send electricity to those two divisions again and tell them that the situation of our army has collapsed..." Tojo Ichiro immediately yelled, and the last hope was that Sima was a living horse doctor.
Unexpectedly, before Tojo Ichiro finished speaking, Miyano Michichi came over and handed Tojo Ichiro the newly arrived telegram: "General, our two divisions are finished."
"What, those two divisions are finished, what happened?" Tojo Ichiro heard this and was suspicious, "Could it be that the 18th Army came out from the mountains and wanted to attack them? That's not right, the 18th Army does not have the capabilities With their head-to-head strength, could it be that the strategic masters of the 18th Army had some conspiracy?"
"Yes, they fell into the trap of the strategic masters of the 18th Army." Miyano Michichi looked sad, "At this moment, the plague has begun to spread in their army."
'Baga, a plague has begun to spread among their army! ! ! "When Tojo Ichiro heard this, his mind went blank.
Plague, it goes without saying what it means.
Originally, Tojo Ichiro was still thinking about it.
If his army here is destroyed and the two divisions cannot be saved, they can at least be withdrawn.
In this way, it can also ensure that the army is not truly annihilated.
But now, a plague has begun to spread among their ranks.
This move by the master strategist of the 18th Army was so vicious and vicious!
After grabbing the telegram handed over by Miyano Michichi, Tojo Ichiro's eyes nearly bulged out of his sockets: "Baga, Baga, Baga..."
To defeat the enemy without fighting is the highest state of the art of war.
The strategists of the Eighteenth Army made some small plans, and the two divisions of the empire were imprisoned without even a chance to evacuate.
"General, our situation is completely over now. There is no rescue. We can only fight to the death to serve the emperor!" Miyano Michichi looked miserable.
This battle was a terrible loss.
It’s like losing everything!
"Gather the last elite soldiers." Tojo Ichiro gritted his teeth, "As soldiers, dying on the battlefield is our destination!"
Tojo Ichiro felt somewhat comforted in his heart.
At least, he can still choose the way to die.
If one catches the plague and dies of depression, he will not be able to live in peace even under the Nine Springs.
"Hayi!"
After Tojo Ichiro's order was issued, the remaining Japanese officers quickly gathered the last defeated soldiers and prepared for a final desperate fight.
"Commander Bo, what are the Japs going to do?" The staff officer of the Jinsui Army saw that the Japs soldiers were quickly gathering the last remnants, and asked Bo Zuoyi, "Could it be that they are going to have a final battle?"
"Commander Bo, why don't you just send the reserve team to kill them without giving them a chance to assemble?"
"Yes, Commander Bo, just let the reserve team go over and attack them."
"No need." Bo Zuoyi waved his hands and said, "Since the enemy wants to make a final suicidal charge and wants to die a heroic death, then we have to help them. Pass my order and immediately mobilize all the artillery. Mobilize them, aim at their charging path, and mobilize all the light and heavy machine guns that can be mobilized. We will prepare a big gift for the little devils and send them on their way in glory."
"Hahaha, Commander Bo, that's good." The officers of the Jinsui Army laughed and hurriedly executed it.
"It's a bit strange." Hiruzakuyi was still wondering, "Although Tojo Ichiro's army collapsed everywhere, there were still many opportunities to organize troops to fight back. Why did he give up so quickly."
"Perhaps Tojo Ichiro knew that there would be no rescue." A staff officer was suspicious.
"Commander Bo, the intelligence department has just intercepted important information from the Japs." At this time, a staff officer came happily and handed Bo Zuoyi the newly arrived information.
Bo Zuoyi took a look at the information, and his eyes immediately widened in realization.
No wonder Tojo Ichiro wanted to make the final suicide attack. It turned out that his last hope bubble had burst.
The two Japanese divisions that were blocked on the other side of the river were plagued by a plague.
The bridge they retreated behind was also blown up.
They have been locked up and wiped out by the plague. It is only a matter of time.
Under Hiroshi's order, the Jinsui Army quickly made final preparations to send Tojo Ichiro off in glory.
When the Jinsui Army was about to wipe out the remnants of Tojo Ichiro, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie led the army to the place where the cannon was buried.
The cannon was quickly taken out, and Kong Jie rubbed his hands at Li Yunlong: "Old Li, five cannons, you promised me, you can't break your promise."
"Lao Kong, the condition we negotiated at the beginning was that you help me get all the heavy artillery back, and I will give you five cannons as a thank you gift." Li Yunlong said seriously, "Now, we want to go to war with the heavy artillery, not let you Kong Jie helps to get it back..."
"Li Yunlong, you kid..." When Kong Jie heard this, he immediately wanted to curse.
Li Yunlong, that bastard, he...
"Lao Kong, don't be angry. Your attack on the copper smelting plant is very important. You can't make any mistakes." Li Yunlong quickly smiled and said, "Which of us will follow who? You can take a third of the heavy artillery."
Upon hearing what Li Yunlong said, Kong Jie took back the drawn knife.
This makes sense.
Kong Jie immediately said seriously: "Li Yunlong, aren't you kidding me? Give me one-third of the heavy artillery?"
"I'll give you one-third, you idiot!" Li Yunlong scolded, "Didn't you listen carefully to the point of my words? I asked you to pull, not to give. After the battle, you still have to give I’ll pull it back!”
"Li Yunlong, you are so damn..." Kong Jie gritted his teeth and couldn't help but pull out the knife again.
"It's better to attack the copper smelting factory first, don't miss the business!" Wang Huaibao advised Kong Jie.
"Li Yunlong, when the battle is over, I will help you pull the cannon back. Do the five cannons you gave me still count?" Kong Jie suppressed his temper.
"It counts, it definitely counts!" Li Yunlong nodded seriously, "As long as the battle is over and you help me get the cannon back, these five cannons will count."
Anyway, after capturing the arsenal and copper smelting factory, this artillery will not pull them back, and they will deal with Kong Er first.
"Li Yunlong, let me tell you, I will help you get the cannon back when the time comes. If you don't give me five cannons, I will never finish with you." Kong Jie warned Li Yunlong, and then stopped talking nonsense with Li Yunlong.
The New 1st Brigade took away two-thirds of the heavy artillery, and the Independent Brigade took away one-third of the heavy artillery. The two of them acted in a double-pronged manner and acted at the same time.
…
When Li Yunlong and Kong Jie were about to attack the arsenal and copper smelting plant, Hiroshi's army and Tojo Ichiro's army had a final decisive battle.
It's more of a massacre than a decisive battle.
The Japanese soldiers without ammunition, no matter how much their morale is boosted, cannot evolve into combat effectiveness.
At most, they can run faster.
But no matter how fast they run, they can't run faster than bullets and cannonballs.
Under the double crushing of the Jinsui Army's heavy machine guns and artillery, the charging Japanese soldiers could only be harvested in patches like crushed crops.
The battlefield was like a river of blood, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
The surrendered Imperial Army prisoners looked at this scene, and many of them were trembling with fear.
Fortunately, he surrendered, otherwise, his death would have been tragic.
"General, let's hit the road together." Miyano Michichi turned to look at Tojo Ichiro with tears on his face.
Even the commander with the most stable psychological quality can't control his emotions when watching the soldiers die like moths flying to the flame.
"Let's go to see Amaterasu together!" Ichiro Tojo held the command knife and followed the soldiers towards the artillery fire of the Jinsui Army.
There was no suspense in the final result. Tojo Ichiro and his soldiers fell together and became part of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
When the artillery fire and machine guns of the Jinsui Army stopped, the team cleaning the battlefield came up.
Every Japanese corpse was picked with a bayonet again.
The wounded Japanese soldiers were quickly cleared.
…
Taiyuan First Army Headquarters
"General, this is the last farewell telegram sent by Ichiro Tojo." A staff officer handed the newly arrived telegram to Yoshio Shinozuka.
"Put it on the table." Shinozuka Yoshio said.
"Hai." The staff officer put the telegram on the table and exited.
Yoshio Shinozuka let out a long sigh, and after a while he picked up the telegram and read it.
"General Tojo, I am sorry for you..." Shinozuka Yoshio did not finish his words.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
Suddenly, there was the sound of shelling outside, and the ground shook violently.
"Baga, what's going on? Is the enemy coming to attack Taiyuan?" Yoshio Shinozuka was startled and yelled quickly.
"General, it's bad. The arsenal and the copper smelting plant were attacked by the enemy at the same time. The enemy destroyed the defenses with heavy artillery and has already entered." A staff officer ran over and reported to Shinozuka Yoshiohui.
"Heavy artillery, where did the enemy get the heavy artillery!" Yoshio Shinozuka was shocked. The arsenal and the copper smelting plant were both important strategic military industrial sites.
Without heavy artillery, it would be impossible to attack it.
Moreover, in the current situation, the opponent has a lot of heavy artillery.
"General, the heavy artillery of our three divisions was suspected to have been taken away by the troops of the 18th Group Army, and the Jinsui Army is still arguing with them." The staff officer whispered, "It seems that the troops of the 18th Group Army should be in front of us. We came to attack with the heavy artillery of the past.”
"Baga!" Upon hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka slammed his fist on the table: "Pass my order and immediately dispatch troops from Taiyuan Airport for reinforcements."
In the past, in order to protect Taiyuan Airport from enemy attacks, Yoshio Shinozuka increased the defense of Taiyuan Airport.
Who knew that the 18th Army had no intention of targeting Taiyuan Airport and directly shot down all the planes with anti-aircraft artillery.
But now, there are no planes at the airport, and this soldier is still guarding the empty airport.
"General, it's bad, the XX stronghold on the Shota Line was attacked by the enemy."
"General, Shota Line Station
"General, please help, please help, the XX railway section of the Zhengtai Line is under attack by the enemy!"
…
Just when Yoshio Shinozuka was preparing to mobilize troops from Taiyuan Airport to reinforce the arsenal and copper smelting plant, various urgent military situations came one after another.
The railway defense of the Shota Line was in crisis everywhere.
The Shota Line was the main artery through which the empire passed through China's resources. It was more important than the arsenal and copper smelting plant.
The reason why the empire launched this war was to plunder the various resources of the Chinese people.
A mere arsenal and copper smelting plant are not as important as a railway artery.
But the problem is...
If the Eighteenth Group Army were allowed to loot all the machine tools from the arsenal and copper smelting plant, the military-industrial strength of the Eighteenth Group Army would be significantly enhanced.
The strategic masters of the Eighteenth Group Army can still defeat the strong with the humble strength of the Eighteenth Group Army. If the Eighteenth Group Army becomes stronger with the support of military industry strength, then under the command of the strategic masters of the Eighteenth Group Army , I’m afraid it will be even more difficult to deal with.
Jingle Bell!
The phone on the table rang rapidly, and Yoshio Shinozuka answered it, and the voice of Jining Okamura came out: "Shinozuka, I don't care what methods you use, just keep the Shota Line open!"
"General, troops from the 18th Army are currently attacking the arsenal and copper smelting plant..." What did Yoshio Shinozuka want to say.
Gangcun Cining scolded and interrupted: "Baga, didn't you hear what I said? Assemble the troops you can mobilize to keep the Zhengtai Railway open for me!"
"General..."
"Idiot, execute the order!" Okamura Jining interrupted Yoshio Shinozuka again.
"Hai." Yoshio Shinozuka could only respond.
Maybe Commander Gangcun is right.
Since the Eighteenth Group Army chose to launch a full-scale counterattack at this time and carried out breaking attacks everywhere on the Zhengtai Line, it was obvious that it wanted to break the blockade.
To protect the Zhengtai Line Railway, maintain the strategic blockade of the Eighteenth Group Army, and continue to trap the Eighteenth Group Army, even if they obtained the machinery of the arsenal and copper smelting plant, they would not have enough raw materials for production.
Therefore, Yoshio Shinozuka transferred troops from Taiyuan Airport and other places to defend the Shota Line Railway.
But what happened was completely beyond Yoshio Shinozuka's expectations.
He thought that the Eighteenth Army would launch a full-scale attack with only three divisions.
Their conditions are difficult and there is no chance of recruiting troops.
As a result, Yoshio Shinozuka never expected that the 18th Army would involve more than a hundred regiments participating in the war, with a strength of an astonishing 300,000 men.
"Baga, where did the 18th Army come from with so many troops? They didn't even have enough to eat before, so how could they find the conditions to recruit troops?" Shinozuka Yoshio shouted.
"General, last year, the 18th Group Army attacked our fortress village. They also looted the war preparation warehouse and obtained sufficient..." The staff officer did not finish his words.
Yoshio Shinozuka interrupted: "That's impossible. The strength of three divisions of 30,000 people has been expanded to 300,000 people in one year. Can you believe it?"
Of course the staff couldn't believe it. The speed of expanding the team was simply too scary.
However, this is true.
Once upon a time, the 18th Army was still very weak, but now it has finally become a huge danger. They are now capable of launching a major counterattack.
"General, what should we do now?" the staff officer asked. Because the 18th Army has too many troops, all reinforcements have hit a wall.
"What else can we do? Let's withdraw our troops for defense." Yoshio Shinozuka could only withdraw his troops for defense.
The Zhengtai Railway cannot be saved, and other territories of the First Army cannot be lost as well.
…
Since Yoshio Shinozuka sent all his troops to reinforce the Shotai Line Railway, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie's actions were very successful.
All the machines in the arsenal and copper smelting plant were moved away, leaving not even a scrap of raw material left.
All the skilled workers in the arsenal were also taken away.
Even Japanese talents were forcibly taken away, such as Iwajima Ichiro.
As for the uncooperative Japs, there was no choice but to send them to see Amaterasu.
Among them were Pu Yu, the deputy director of the arsenal, and Okamoto Cihei, the director of the arsenal. When Li Yunlong's troops invaded the arsenal, they wanted to blow up the arsenal and were shot to death by Eighth Route soldiers.
…
On this day, the sky was full of morning glow, and the entire land in northwest Shanxi was filled with vitality under the beautiful glow.
The attack on the Zhengtai Line was a complete success, the blockade was broken, and Wu Ze was immediately sent to the rear.
Behind Wu Ze, there are a large number of machine tools, all of which are being sent to the rear.
Many people came to see Wu Ze off, including the Chief of General Staff, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie...
"Chief of the General Staff, please keep this letter. The date for opening it has been written on it. If you believe me, don't open it in advance." Before leaving, Wu Ze handed a letter to the Chief of General Staff. letter.
"Okay, Xiao Wu, I won't open it in advance." The chief of general staff put the letter close to his body.
"Xiao Wu, do you have a letter for me, Lao Li?" Li Yunlong came up and asked.
Kong Jie also came up: "Xiao Wu, and me."
"Old Li, Old Kong, I'm leaving, so don't relax at all. The Japanese have suffered a big loss and will take bloody revenge soon." Wu Ze looked at the two of them, "If you have any undecided questions, please contact me on the radio station. "
"Xiao Wu, we Lao Li really can't let you go." Li Yunlong squeezed Wu Ze's hand tightly, and finally let go, "You are right, we and the Jinsui Army have taken advantage of the devils one after another, and the devils are determined to We will not give up. You and our military-industrial machinery should go to the rear, where it will be safe."
"Xiao Wu, when we get to the rear, you have to hurry up and produce new guns." Kong Jie looked forward to it. "By then, all our troops will be equipped with new guns like this, so we won't be afraid of bloody revenge from those little devils." Woolen cloth."
"Don't worry." Wu Ze nodded and saluted everyone, "Everyone, I'm leaving. See you soon!"
"Xiao Wu, be careful on the road."
"Xiao Wu, have a nice trip."
"Xiao Wu, goodbye!"
…
Li Yunlong and others also saluted and watched Wu Ze's back walking towards the rising sun on the horizon!
