Chapter 926: The Japanese Army's Dead End
Even if the mountain road was completely blown up, the Japanese soldiers desperately climbed the rocks blown up to the north, as if they didn't care if there was a road or not, they just wanted to get to where they wanted to go as quickly as possible.
"The little devil is crazy!"
Li Lingfei saw the actions of the Japanese army through the binoculars, and really thought that the little devils had gone crazy! They don't care about their lives anymore!
"Chief of Staff, the Second Regiment is on standby!" Report of the head of the second regiment.
"See what the Japanese are doing, right?" Li Lingfei asked.
"See!"
"Know what to do?"
"Yes!"
"In that case, keep it for me, and you can't let a little devil go, otherwise you won't come back alive to see me!"
The Japanese wanted to use this method to pass through the mountain road that they had blown up, but the number of troops to pass through the mountain road in this way was really limited. As long as you ambush the troops on the other side of the road that don't blow up, the Japanese army will not even think of passing through if there are 100,000 troops! That's why Li Lingfei said that the little devil was crazy.
"The commander of the first regiment and the commander of the third regiment, lead the troops to hold the commanding heights on this mountain road, although the distance is a little from the original, but it is still within the range of the heavy machine gun, use the heavy machine gun to kill and injure the Japanese army as much as possible!"
The road of the Japanese army's advance has been completely blocked, if they choose to make a detour, at least they have to make a detour for two more days, there is no material supply, let alone two days, a day will be difficult! The little devils no longer have any choice, their only way is to fill in a path with their lives, and an army of 100,000 can fill a path even with corpses!
On this road, the Japanese army was destined to pay more! No supplies, no reinforcements! And Li Lingfei only needs to arrange a regiment to block the Japanese army from ascending the mountain!
"Da Da Da"
As soon as the Japanese army climbed to the top of the ruins, they were covered by the fire of the second regiment of the guard division, and the light and heavy weapons beckoned to the head of the little devil together, and the Japanese army did not dare to rise at all!
"Division commander, our troops have encountered the resistance of the Chinese army in front of the blown up mountain road, and our forces have no way to deploy at all, they have blocked our way by virtue of the terrain advantage!"
A blown up road was originally impassable, and the Japanese forced it through, and in such a gorge, the strength of half a division could not be spread, not to mention the strength of four divisions, especially on the top of the ruins of the road, not even a Japanese brigade could be arranged, and there was no suitable place for cover, so they could only fight for their lives.
Last night, they knew that there were not many opportunities left for them, and the Chinese army would try their best to stop them, and as long as they didn't cross this mountain pass today, they would never have a chance again!
Of course, Li Lingfei will not give the little devil a chance, because once he gives the little devil a chance, it means that he will put the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Taihang Mountain into the hands of the little devil!
"Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff, Brother Fan let us hold for another morning, the remnants of the little devil have escaped from the Pingjin area! The command is printing and conveying, striving to make all the Japanese troops in Taihang Mountain surrender! The communications soldier brought good news to Li Lingfei.
"Great!"
Li Lingfei was very happy to hear the news, the Pingjin region was recovered, and they would never meet the little devils in North China again, and countless soldiers sacrificed along the way, and finally their sacrifices were not in vain, and they ushered in peace for North China again!
"Tell the soldiers on the front line that the Japanese army has fled the Pingjin area, and the Japanese army in Baoding has also been surrounded by us, as long as we survive tonight, we will be victorious!" Li Lingfei ordered.
"Chief of Staff, Brother Fan wants us to hold out until this morning, why do you say we want to hold out tonight?"
"I'm going to buy time for our troops, with leaflets, the surrender of the Japanese army is also fifty-five, we can't let our guard down just because there are five, the reason why I tell the good news to the soldiers is because it can improve morale!" Li Lingfei explained.
He didn't think that the Japanese army would definitely surrender, and the strength of one of their divisions was not capable of destroying all the Japanese troops! As long as they survive tonight, the troops in Baoding will inevitably have idle troops, as long as they withdraw from Baoding, they can return to Taihang Mountain to support them, and then the war will really be over!
The Japanese army has reached the last moment, and it is just making a final struggle! At noon, the leaflets had already been dropped on the heads of the little devils, and the little devils also knew that there was really a big problem with their troops, their commander committed suicide, and the rest of the hundreds of people evacuated Pingjin!
But the little devils were skeptical, after all, they had obtained this news from their enemies!
"Have any of you contacted the Commander-in-Chief?" The commander of the Japanese division gathered after seeing the leaflets.
"Last night, we sent a telegram to the command, but ...... I didn't reply, and I didn't tell you the news for the sake of unnecessary panic! ”
When discussing things last night, the division commander was one of the advocates of retreat, and he wanted to send a telegram to Okamura Ninji and tell Okamura Ninji about the situation here, hoping that Okamura Ninji could give him an order to retreat, but he didn't receive the news for a long time, and he felt very bad at that time! Because of the large army fighting, Okamura Ninji rarely did not send a telegram in time, and he knew that Okamura Ninji was also waiting for their telegram.
But as the night passed, their telegram kept on and there was no reply!
"Could it be that the leaflets distributed by the Chinese are true?" Several divisions could not believe it.
"More than ninety percent is true, maybe our troops attacking Baoding have also encountered problems, otherwise what we are facing now in front of us would not be such a small number of troops of the Chinese army!"
Judging by the events of the past two days, the Chinese army blocking them is at most about one division! Obviously, Liao Fan has deployed all the elite troops to the front line! And the strength of this division stopped their advance, and after such a long time, they did nothing.
"What do we do now?"
The commanders of the four divisions of the Japanese army were like mirrors in their hearts, and they knew that the things mentioned in the leaflets were not far from ten!
"Once the Chinese troops in Baoding withdraw from the battle, I am afraid that this mountain is really the burial place of our 100,000 troops!"
"But...... What if the flyer says something is false? The commander of the Japanese division said.
As the supreme commander of a division, they were defeated by 100,000 troops just because of what was said in a leaflet, and this spread was a joke for the entire army, and how would they lead the command in the future!
"Our troops are no longer fed and water, and if we continue our offensive, there is no chance of victory! Our only option at the moment is to withdraw from the battle, and then find out the situation of the headquarters, if the command really has a problem, we can also retreat as far north as possible before the Chinese army surrounds us, and we can withdraw as many people as we can! ”
As the Chinese army grew stronger and stronger, several important military commanders under Okamura Ninji had learned the importance of preserving strength, and 100,000 troops were really not a small number.
"I also agree to retreat, but we must leave a force to continue the attack, otherwise once we retreat, the Chinese army will inevitably attack us, if they are blowing up our retreat path, it will really be difficult for us to escape from this mountain!"
Not to mention, the little devil's crow's mouth was really accurate, and as soon as the division commander's words fell, a huge explosion was heard far away.
"Boom Boom"
The ground shook as if there had been an earthquake!
"What's going on!" The commander of the Japanese division was shocked, what he said really happened.
At this time, Li Lingfei was commanding the troops to fight, and when he heard a violent explosion, he reacted the same as the commander of the Little Devil Division.
"What happened?" Li Lingfei asked.
"Report to the chief of staff, the communication soldier sent by Brother Fan reported that in order to prevent the Japanese army from escaping, when distributing leaflets, he had already organized the soldiers of the logistics department to blow up all the roads where the Japanese army retreated!"
It turned out that Liao Fan was worried that the Japanese army would suddenly withdraw, after all, the Japanese army of 100,000 wanted to withdraw, and it was impossible for a guard division to stop them, so he could only use the stones in the mountains as a soldier and a pawn to block the way of the Japanese army!
"I know, tell the Third Regiment and let them set up positions on the way to the retreat of the Japanese army!"
Since the distribution of the leaflets, the Japanese offensive has significantly weakened, and it is clear that the leaflets have hit the morale of the Japanese troops! These 100,000 troops have reached the end of their rope, if they have morale, they can move mountains and reclaim the sea, if they don't have morale, they are a plate of scattered sand!
Li Lingfei also began to deploy troops, dragging the Japanese army as much as possible, waiting for their reinforcements to arrive on the battlefield in time.
"Your Excellency the division commander, our retreat has been blown up by the Chinese soldiers!"
"It seems that the Chinese army really doesn't want us to leave alive!"
The army has reached this point, and they can't find a place to desperately try, so they can only vent against the big rocks in the mountains! Now the back road is also blocked, and the troops are going to be trapped alive in this place!
The troops in Baoding accelerated the speed of encircling and annihilating the Japanese troops in the encirclement, and they had already learned that some Japanese troops had entered the Taihang Mountain, and the situation in the Taihang Mountain was very dangerous.
"Old inch! Can you do it all by yourself? Brother Fan is in danger! Lao Tzu is in a hurry to go back to support! Li Weimin asked Cunqi on the phone.
"Don't worry, I have already arranged for an army of troops to return to Taihang Mountain, and they will be able to arrive in seven or eight hours at the fastest speed, and it will be foolproof!"
"You are really calm, and you didn't tell me if you arranged the troops earlier! I'm worried in vain! Li Weimin said.
"The most important thing for us is to quickly eliminate all the little devils in front of us, and we must continue to advance northward, we need to stabilize the defense area as soon as possible, if the Japanese army sends troops from Shanhaiguan to the Pingjin area, the consequences will be very serious!"
