The commander of the little devil hesitated, if they attacked Heshun County, they would not only be able to drive the New 33rd Army out of Jindong and restore the transportation line in Jindong, but also be able to block these prisoners of war and put them in the prisoner of war camp again, which is indeed a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

But after thinking about it carefully, the commander of the little devil felt that something was wrong, that is, where did the more than 10,000 prisoners of war who disappeared in the early days of the war go now?

After thinking of this question, the commander of the little devil broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, if more than 10,000 prisoners of war appeared in Heshun County, then the consequences would be unimaginable, maybe now Major General Miyamoto has fallen into the layers of Chinese army.

"Yaga!" The commander of the little devil figured out the problem and felt that this move of the New 33rd Army was too insidious, "Immediately order all the troops involved in the plan to attack Heshun County and evacuate!" ”

However, it was too late, when Huang Changsheng decided to grab the prisoner of war camp, he had already arranged for the soldiers to notify Hu Guoshan to prepare for the reception, and at the same time, Hu Guoshan also gave Zhao Caizhu the final counterattack order.

The captives who were temporarily equipped in Heshun County immediately made a detour to the two flanks of the little devil, preparing to cut off the back road of the little devil's retreat. Liu Chundao's remaining two battalions of troops also began to encircle the little devils in Wenyuan Village.

Major General Miyamoto did not know the changes that had taken place in the Chinese army, and he was still dreaming of leading his troops to attack the county seat of Heshun, although he expected to capture the outer positions in a few hours was still not broken in a few days, but this did not affect his determination to capture the county seat of Heshun in the slightest, and the more fierce the resistance of the Chinese army, the more fierce the Chinese army was, indicating that the Chinese army did not have any troops in the county town of Heshun.

When Major General Miyamoto received the telegram from the little devil commander, his heart trembled, and he felt like a knife had been inserted into his body.

"Retreat! All troops retreat! Major General Miyamoto shouted at the staff officers who were busy in the headquarters.

Before everyone in the little devil's command could react, Miyamoto had already jumped into the armored car outside the headquarters and ordered the soldiers to immediately speed up and evacuate to the rear.

By the time the little devil's staff officer understood, Major General Miyamoto had already escaped from the control of the front-line command. Only then did the staff officers of the Japanese army know that Miyamoto was not joking, but that the situation on the battlefield had changed a lot, and they were likely to be surrounded.

I have to say that Major General Miyamoto's reaction ability is quite fast, because he and the soldier who drove the armored car were the only two people who escaped from Zhao Caizhu's encirclement, and when Zhao Caizhu finally got the news, he also wondered how Miyamoto, an old devil, escaped.

The Chinese army began the final encirclement, the road for the little devils to retreat to Xiyang County was cut off, and the troops of the other two directions of the Japanese army also fell into the encirclement, the commanders fled, and the command system was in chaos.

"Tell all the troops that we have accepted all the little devils who are willing to surrender, and we still owe Brother Fan a large number of Japanese prisoners, tell them not to kill me all! Otherwise, the account can't be replaced! ”

When it was determined that the route of the little devil's retreat was completely cut off, Zhao Caizhu breathed a sigh of relief, and did not forget to tell the troops that they now needed prisoners to pay off the debt.

Huang Changsheng and his tens of thousands of prisoners of war were in retreat, although there was no little devil to chase and intercept them, but the little devil's harassment force was constant, and the sneak attack on them was a small force, and a piece of meat was removed from them in a short time.

The most casualties were caused to them by the Japanese planes in the sky, the bombs and machine guns that fell from the planes, the prisoners of war fell one by one, and many soldiers began to lose their physical strength and then broke away from the ranks. Huang Changsheng no longer has the energy to take care of them, what he needs now is that most people are alive, and a small number of people can be abandoned when necessary, after all, their special combat team often does some unsightly things.

"Brigade commander, we still need to walk for at least five hours from the meeting point of Division Commander Hu, and if we go down at this speed, we will lose at least more than 5,000 people!" One of the captains reminded.

They have already lost more than 2,000 people along the way, and in the next five hours, these people's physical strength will reach the limit, whether there is an attack from little devils or not, and the mental tension under high tension will inevitably make these people have problems.

Huang Changsheng looked around, and then ordered: "Defend on the spot, it will be dark in more than two hours, and then we won't have to worry about the little devil's plane!" ”

After receiving Liao Fan's order, all the troops began to dig fortifications in place, these fortifications were just to guard against the surprise attack of the little devil's ground troops, and now there are only more than 1,000 captives with guns in their hands, plus the soldiers of the special combat team, it is still possible to form a small circular position.

More than 20,000 soldiers without guns were protected in the middle by more than 2,000 poorly equipped soldiers, and the planes in the sky were whizzing by, because there was no need to rush for their lives, so these soldiers also had a place to hide, and the most important thing was that the small force of the little devils did not dare to attack rashly.

For a while, the prisoners' casualties were much smaller, and they also had time to rest and regain their strength. As long as they can survive until dark, they have a better chance of surviving.

The commander of the little devil, after learning that these prisoners were defending in place, knew that they were waiting for dark, and after dark their planes could not find ground targets at all, then these people would disappear from his field of vision.

What makes the little devil commander hate even more is that he has lost contact with Major General Miyamoto, and now the troops attacking Heshun County do not know what to do, and the commander of the little devil does not have extra troops in his hands to attack these prisoners.

The battle of Zhongtiao Mountain is also at the most critical time, and it will soon enter the finishing work, and it is impossible to draw troops, even if it can be withdrawn, it is too late in time.

"Hahaha, this is probably the biggest joke in the history of the Imperial Japanese Army!" The commander of the little devil scoffed, he was already laughing at him.

In the front, they fought hard and captured nearly 50,000 Chinese soldiers, but Liao Fan in the rear took advantage of the fishermen and quietly abducted 40,000 prisoners of war from them, and in the end they knew the whereabouts of these prisoners of war.

If the commander of the little devil knew that Liao Fan used prisoners of war to wipe out their main force in Jindong, I don't know how he would feel.

The three-front battle has exhausted the little devils in Shanxi, especially Zhongtiao Mountain has become the bag of the little devils, but the little devils who attacked Zhongtiao Mountain don't know that the main force of Zhongtiao Mountain that they defeated will change their identity and fight them in another place in the near future.

The day's time was over quickly, it was completely dark, Huang Changsheng ordered the troops to hurry immediately, and tonight they could finally escape from the pursuit of the little devils.

The mighty team traveled through the night, crossed the mountains and rivers, and finally in the early hours of the morning, the vanguard and Hu Guoshan's troops met, and after the two sides were connected, Hu Guoshan ordered a battalion of troops to meet the large army.

When it was dark, Zhao Caizhu had already launched a final attack on the little devil's troops, but in the direction of Wenyuan Village, one of Liu Chundao's regiments encountered some trouble.

Liu Chundao's regiment of less than 2,000 soldiers surrounded more than 1,000 soldiers of a brigade of little devils, which is embarrassing, the little devils came prepared, obviously to block Liu Chundao's support for the troops in Heshun County, they lost contact with the troops outside after being surrounded, especially after Miyamoto decisively ordered to escape.

The Japanese soldiers of this brigade took the final order as the order and fought Liu Chundao to the end.

The combat capability of Liu Chundao's troops is still there, but the combat ability of the little devil is not bad, and they have the advantage of the terrain, so the two sides have formed a stalemate, and no one can eat anyone.

In the end, Liu Chundao had to ask Zhao Caizhu for help.

"Deputy Division Commander Zhao, I heard that your division has a lot of howitzers, lend us a few, and we will return them to you as soon as we finish bombing the little devils!"

The officers under Liao Fan are all unprofitable masters, and even if they see the meat on the legs of flies, they have to rub off a piece of skin.

So Liu Chundao exchanged 400 rifles, 5 heavy machine guns and 10 light machine guns for the right to use the howitzer in Zhao Caizhu's hands.

The captain of the little devil looked at the burning position in despair, under the continuous attack of Liu Chundao, they had already suffered more than half of the casualties, and if they continued to fight, the whole army would be wiped out, and finally under the persuasion of his subordinates, he wanted to break through with his troops at night.

Liu Chundao had already prevented this little devil from breaking through, after all, with the support of howitzers and Zhao Caizhu plus a battalion, the little devil's defense line began to be out of the way.

"You lay mines for me along this road, and then occupy all the commanding heights within five kilometers of this road, and we will turn the offensive war into an ambush war, and the casualties of the troops will be much smaller!"

Liu Chundao didn't want his soldiers to continue to fight hard, and used mines and the surrounding terrain to clean up these little devils layer by layer, which was the best choice.

The little devil gave the order to break through in the early hours of the morning, and more than 500 Japanese troops began to break through, and to the surprise of the little devil captain, the encirclement of the Chinese army was very weak, and in only twenty minutes, they broke through the encirclement of the Chinese army.

But on the way to escape, the little devil who thought he had escaped from the ascension frequently stepped on the mine, injured and killed more than 100 people, and the captain of the little devil ordered the troops to leave the road and walk from the field, but Liu Chundao had already arranged the troops, and the Chinese army was ambushed everywhere in the field, driving the little devil to the road and continuing to step on the mine.

An hour after the breakthrough, the captain of the little devil brigade looked at the remnants of less than fifty people left behind him, and knew that he had fallen for the Chinese, but now it was irretrievable, the captain of the little devil loaded his pistol, and then shot himself in the head,

The remaining forty or so Japanese soldiers eventually became prisoners of Liu Chundao. So far, all the Japanese troops attacking Heshun County have been killed or captured, except for Major General Miyamoto and a driver who escaped.

Two days later, the battle at Mt. Nakajo was also coming to an end, and only sporadic gunfire could be heard in the distant wilderness, which was a small group of scattered Chinese troops who were still resisting, although they were close to running out of ammunition and food, but they never thought of surrendering to the Japanese and living humiliatingly, and could only use their limited lives to kill and wound the enemy.

"Boom Boom"

As the shells fell, the sound of explosions disappeared into the sky, and the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, which lasted for more than ten days, came to an end, and the burning smoke obscured the sun in the sky, which was a shame for an army, but also a shame for a nation, although some people persevered to the end, but there were still people who had to continue to bleed.

Compared with the small victory of Jindong, the Chinese are more concerned about the defeat of Zhongtiao Mountain.

Chairman Chiang looked at the newspapers issued by the Japanese, which boasted about the results of the Japanese battle, and the Japanese only lost more than 600 killed and more than 3,000 wounded, while Chairman Chiang lost the main force of the entire Zhongtiao Mountain.
