The Nakajo Mountain Theater mobilized nearly seven divisions to put the Suzuki Division in a tightly tied pocket in the Xiyang River Valley, and fought bloodily for 12 days to finally clear the outlying positions of the Japanese army led by the Suzuki Division.

The supreme commander of the theater ordered all divisions, brigades, and regiments to take advantage of the darkness of night to pursue the victory, narrow the encirclement to the base camp of the Japanese army, and must wipe out the Japanese troops advancing westward in the Xiyang River Valley.

Under the cover of night, the troops in the theater launched an extremely tragic offensive against the Japanese base camp, recovering Tigou and other positions, and compressing the enemy into a narrow encirclement.

As long as it is advisable to rush after the poor and destroy the Japanese troops such as the Suzuki Division and the narrow Xiyang River Valley, victory can finally be said to be in sight.

The Japanese army was suppressed into a narrow encirclement, and the commander of the Suzuki Division, the supreme commander of the Japanese army who led the army westward this time, did not feel panicked because the outer positions were broken through by the Shina troops.

He ordered the commanders of divisions and brigades standing at the headquarters: "Generals, do not be pessimistic, I hope you will cheer up, and I hereby order all the wings to hold their present positions, and those who lose ground and retreat will not be spared." ”

"Your Excellency General, the offensive of the Chinese troops is fierce, and at this time, the positions of our Imperial Japanese Army troops have been launched to attack and shrink rapidly, once the Chinese troops break through ......."

"Commander of the Inoue Brigade, don't be intimidated by this illusion, as long as my Imperial Japanese Army troops can hold their positions until dawn, hahaha, the Chinese troops will become a flock of lambs for me to slaughter at will."

The commander of the Suzuki Division looked at the generals and frowned and did not understand his words, not only continued: "Don't doubt it, I very much hope that it will be dawn at this time, so that you can see how my Imperial Japanese Army slaughtered the Chinese pigs on the battlefield. ”

The units in the theater launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army from 40 midnight, successively seized a number of peripheral positions occupied by the Japanese army, and after several hours of fierce fighting, besieged the enemy in a narrow encirclement.

At this time, the radiant sun will rise in the east, and the dawn of victory will rise in the hearts of every officer and soldier.

The east finally showed the whiteness of the fish's belly, breaking through the dark round of the morning sun before dawn, and rising from the east. The officers and men of all units in the theater of operations held their guns and spewed tongues of fire that competed with the sun for brilliance, and bravely launched the fiercest attack on the Japanese troops who were firmly entrenched in their positions.

Just when the morning sun rose in the east, the victory of destroying the enemy was in sight, and the dawn of victory over the enemy was about to come, a large number of Japanese fighters suddenly flew from the direction of Yuncheng, forming a large silver cloud in the sky, and quickly drifting towards the Xiyang River Valley.

The commander of the Suzuki Division heard the louder and louder roar of the planes entering the war room, and this bastard actually danced the dance of the Hokkaido fishermen, and kept shouting nonsense: "My fighter plane is finally here, my victory is at hand, and the Imperial Japanese Army will always be invincible, hahaha." ”

The units in the theater that were launching a fierce attack on the Japanese army heard a huge roar overhead, and when they found that a large number of Japanese fighters had appeared overwhelmingly above, they not only shouted and pounced on the enemy's position.

Senior General Sugiyama Moto, commander of the Japanese North China Front, received an urgent request from the commander of the Suzuki Division at midnight to send a large number of fighters to reinforce the troops attacking the positions of the Imperial Japanese Army at dawn.

Commander Sugiyama Yuan immediately ordered the 36th Brigade of the Yuncheng Army Aviation to send 12 fighters and the Luoyang Army Aviation Brigade to dispatch 36 bombers to rush to the sky over the Xiyang River Valley before dawn to bomb the designated targets on the ground.

Reinforcement of the Suzuki Division with air fire.

The 36 th Brigade of the Japanese Army's Yuncheng Army Aviation Brigade and the Luoyang Army Aviation Flight Brigade jointly formed 48 fighters and arrived over the Xiyang River Valley almost at dawn to launch a large-scale wanton and indiscriminate bombardment of our army's positions within the designated area of ground communications.

Waves of fighter planes dived and bombed again and again, and one bomb after another formed a continuous drop of bombs, and each bomb fell to the ground, causing the explosion to set off gravel and mud shrapnel, enveloping the broken limbs and flesh of the fighters and soaring into the air.

The entire position was bombarded by aircraft bombs, and the dust and mist from the gunpowder smoke that rose from the sky had not yet fallen, and the dust and mist that had been detonated by successive bombs and flew up and down one after another.

Our officers and men who were bombed by a large number of Japanese fighters suffered heavy casualties, and the units could no longer continue to attack the Japanese troops trapped in the narrow strip. As a last resort, the Supreme Commander of the Theater ordered the attack to be halted and a quick retreat to safety.

The Japanese bombers did not stop bombing because the units in the theater quickly retreated and stopped attacking the besieging Japanese troops, but intensified their pursuit of the retreating Japanese troops to launch large-scale aerial fire strikes.

The units in our theater, which had suffered heavy losses, retreated to their original positions and passively accepted the bombing of Japanese fighters, and the troops were again dealt a devastating blow.

After more than an hour of bombing, 48 Japanese fighters finally flew out of the sky over the Xiyang River Valley, and the entire position of our army was shrouded in gunpowder smoke and flames.

The officers and men who lost their arms and legs by the bomb explosion of the Japanese army on the battlefield could not bear the tremendous pain because of the lack of medical treatment and the lack of timely treatment of their wounds, and had to scream loudly to alleviate the pain.

The sunset hangs in the sky like a red-hot coal, burning the prelude to the coming night, but the remnant sun is still powerless to resist the erosion of the night, slowly losing its luster, and with a blood-like remnant light disappearing, the night falls and the day ends.

Commander Zhao of the 17th Division, who had been severely injured by the troops, looked at Deputy Division Commander Chen, who was extremely tired and imprinted on his face with gunsmoke and flames, and said: "Brother Chen, in the battle of Xiyang River, my 17th Division can be regarded as a great injury to its vitality, and the number of troops now counted is ....... ”

"Yes, before the expedition, nearly 10,000 Kwantung Lengwa's 17th Division fought bloodily with the Japanese army on the western front of Zhongtiao Mountain for 45 days, with heavy casualties, and less than 3,000 officers and soldiers who could continue to participate in the battle and kill devils, how many anti-Japanese martyrs are buried in this land, I can't control the tears of pain when I think about it."

"It's so cruel, it's cruel like a nightmare, so many brothers who are jumping around are leaving me like this, if I, the division commander, can return to Guanzhong alive, I really don't know how to explain to their families."

The two division commanders of the 17th Division were lamenting the cruelty of the war, Lei Yunfeng shouted the report and walked in, when he saw the two divisions in tears, not only sorrow came from his heart, but also cried loudly:

"Division, the 54th Regiment of 1,573 officers and soldiers I brought back from behind enemy lines, after the battle of Xiyang River, there are only more than 200 people still alive at this time, I, I can't bear these heroic brothers here, woo woo woo ........"

"Lei Yunfeng, as long as we don't defeat the little devils, the war will always be like a magic sword on our necks, and there will inevitably be sacrifices to fight, in order to return a tooth for a tooth, we must not just let go of this group of devils."

"Shiza, I ask to lead a death squad to secretly infiltrate the Japanese base camp at midnight, even if you die in battle, you must destroy the command organ of the Japanese Suzuki Division, kill the Japanese commander, and avenge the heroic officers and soldiers.
