A thick book slipped from mid-air and fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust. The German hound Heiichiro raised his head in surprise and stared at his owner, the commander of the 10th Division of the Empire of Japan, Iso. Lieutenant General Gu Lianjie of the Imperial Japanese Army. Seeing this, he was quite surprised. This general, who was always known in the imperial military circles for his iceberg-like calm will, was so out of sorts today. Beads of sweat the size of soybeans were all over his half-bald forehead. His desperate eyes were even more shocking. Heiichiro felt extremely strange, the kind of look in his eyes that could only be shown by the Chinese people who were used by the general to feed him.

"It's over, it's all over. Is this the end of my invincible Isoya division? The honor of the samurai in Japan has all been destroyed in my hands." Isoya suddenly covered his broad forehead with his fat palms and faced the wall. The map on the screen was crying. The chief of staff, Colonel Yehe, who was standing aside, did not comfort the division commander. Instead, he turned and walked out of the command room and came to the combat conference room. He ordered the guards to immediately convene all staff members to hold a combat meeting to study the breakout plan. , formulate a combat plan. Senior staff officer Lieutenant Colonel Sugamoto is responsible for formulating specific combat plans, while the role of the Isotani division commander is only to encourage the morale of the soldiers. This is also the tradition of the Japanese army.

At the meeting, the young staff officers had a heated discussion. Colonel Yehe looked on with cold eyes, while Lieutenant Colonel Cun Yuan actively participated. After a verbal battle, Cun Yuan successfully defeated the other staff officers and determined Isotani Division's plan to break out of the encirclement, Colonel Yehe initially agreed to this plan, Isotani Rensuke also immediately agreed to break out according to this plan, and quickly reported it to the North China Front Army Staff Headquarters, and Tsumoto drafted the details of the battle plan overnight detail.

On this day, the Chinese army that besieged the Igaya Division near Taierzhuang launched several counterattacks of varying degrees. The Japanese troops stopped their attacks and put up the most tenacious resistance because they were told that as long as they defeated this attack As the Chinese army counterattacked, they were about to embark on their way home. Therefore, the Japanese army fought extremely tenaciously. Similarly, the Chinese army equipped with inferior weapons also fought tenaciously and arduously. Due to the huge gap in the quality of individual soldiers and weapons and equipment, especially Due to the gap between heavy weapons and supporting firearms, although various departments of the Chinese army suffered huge casualties, they did not achieve the desired results. On the same day, the Japanese army also dispatched 80 air support sorties, dropped more than 300 bombs, and killed nearly a thousand Chinese troops.

The Wang Ping Division of the 39th Division attacked from the north of the canal, repulsed the Japanese army, captured a bridgehead, and annihilated more than 50 Japanese troops. Their follow-up troops continuously crossed the canal, consolidating the bridgehead position while engaging in counterattacks. The Japanese army repeatedly tried to eliminate This threat, but due to lack of strength, failed to succeed until dark. By dusk, an infantry regiment of the 39th Division had already crossed the canal, directly threatening the flank position of the Isoya Division. At this moment, the Isoya Division was trapped The dilemma is that if you retreat, you will be hit by the thunderous attack of the 2nd Army from Taierzhuang. If you don't retreat, you will not have enough power to eliminate the threat from the 39th Division to its rear. Moreover, the Chinese troops coming from Linyi The vanguard of the army has already appeared. To the north, a large number of troops from the 20th Army are continuously moving south to prepare to attack the Isoya Division, and their weapons and equipment are the most well-equipped among all Chinese armies currently participating in the war.

Cun Yuan's breakout plan is to use the existing troops to resist the Chinese troops attacking from the north, south and west, concentrate all mobile forces to break out from the east, and mostly break through Linmu towards Rizhao. The Imperial Japanese Navy's 10 destroyers, 4 cruisers, and 1 aircraft carrier have been assembled in the Rizhao waters, waiting for the arrival of the 10th Division, and the 6,000 Japanese Marines attached to it have landed in Rizhao, fighting all the way to Linmu to meet the Isotani Division. The regiment broke through. The key question now is whether the 10th Division can reach Linmu on foot, and whether the Marine Corps can hold Linmu and wait for the arrival of the 10th Division.

Night fell, but the goddess of war did not go to sleep. On the wide canal, the water reflected the pale moonlight. Countless boats were moving forward quickly. Strings of flare bombs from the Japanese army ran wantonly on the river. Occasionally there were people. They were shot and fell into the water, leaving only a scream and the sound of falling into the water. Without caring about rescuing their comrades, the soldiers rowed their rifles with all their strength and drove the ship forward. The anger in their hearts was burning, and a bloodthirsty murderous intention was in their hearts. Expand, revenge, revenge, everyone secretly roared in their hearts, and the rifles in their hands moved faster. When the boat docked, everyone jumped off the boat with all their strength, held the rifle tightly, and grabbed The grenade rushed towards the fire-breathing machine gun in front. The hatred was released at this moment. There were no prisoners. Neither side would tolerate the existence of prisoners. The war has reached this point. No Chinese soldier will be a prisoner, nor will there be any A Chinese soldier wants to capture a prisoner, and the blood debt must be repaid with blood. This is a real war, which only has death and destruction.

Often, after a few Japanese machine gunners had finished firing a round of bullets, before they had time to change their magazines, countless Chinese soldiers would rush forward, slashing with knives and spears, turning the Japanese soldiers into a pile of minced meat. Even if a few Japanese soldiers raised their hands out of fear, those Chinese soldiers with bloody faces had no orders and no intention of capturing them. Therefore, regardless of whether the Japanese resisted or surrendered, their fate would not be the same tonight. Different, the ending is to turn into piles of unrecognizable red meat, and the originally kind-hearted Chinese soldiers were turned into beasts by the war. This is the bitter wine brewed by the Japanese themselves. To deal with the beasts, the only way to deal with the beasts is to be more cruel and more cruel. Bloodthirsty.

War drives civilization away.

The Chinese learn war from war.
