In the darkness of the night, the Japanese retreated in a panic. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But they were not able to get rid of the pursuit of the death squads, and the two sides were already fighting together.
The defeated soldiers were like a tide, and the death squad soldiers bit very tightly, so the defeated soldiers and the pursuers poured down from the pine ridge together in the dark night.
The bullets had lost their effect, and although the Japanese fired a few flares, under the light, the Chinese and Japanese soldiers were defeated together.
When the Japanese troops defending the rear position were at a loss, the gunfire of box guns rang out behind them, and the Japanese soldiers who were using grenadiers to fire flares fell down instantly.
It was Huo Xiaoshan, who had already touched deeper into the enemy's position under the cover of darkness.
The Japanese soldiers in the position were shocked, they couldn't understand why there were Chinese troops behind them, so they turned around and shot, and at this time, the defeated Japanese soldiers who were afraid of the night like tigers had returned, and finally brought the entire defense line into chaos!
At this time, the attack of the large army led by the regiment commander on the Chinese position has also begun, and all the Chinese soldiers are pressed, and the earth-shattering shouts and gunshots have already sounded, because at this time, the time for the general attack of the Chinese army in the entire Wanjialing area has arrived!
The 106th Division of the Japanese Army came with a sneak attack when it attacked the Nanxun Line.
Wing Commander Junrokuro Matsuura only let the troops bring ammunition and food for six days, and they have really run out of ammunition and food by now in the brutal battle.
In addition, the nightmarish battle in the dark night, the mental and physical double pressure finally made all the Japanese troops unbearable, and with the pressure of the Chinese army on all fronts, the collapse of the Japanese army finally began.
Right! It's a collapse of the whole line!
Zhang Gushan, Yangjialing, Chengjialing, Songshuling, Jianlu Su, Thunder Drum Liu, the Chinese army attacked bravely, and the Japanese army hurriedly retreated just to escape.
Five or six hundred meters behind Songshu Ridge is the village of Leiminggu Liu, which is where the headquarters of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army is located.
Junrokuro Matsuura, the once arrogant supreme commander of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army, heard the sound of gunfire and explosions coming from all directions, and knew that the general situation was gone, and in desperation, he could only order to break through to the northwest with the last two or three hundred officers and soldiers around him.
Because he knew that the reinforcements of the 106th Division who came to save him were about that direction, but they had been blocked by the Chinese army for two days.
In the chaos, Huo Xiaoshan's left pistol and right hand knife walked through the Japanese army's position like a ghost. He didn't need to act lightly now, he just created chaos, so that the organization of the Japanese army, which had just improved slightly, immediately became chaotic.
At this time, the Japanese army had really become a frightened bird, and as long as he fired a few shots, the Japanese army began to retreat.
Huo Xiaoshan understood that the overall situation had been decided, and the Japanese army was already in the encirclement of the Chinese army, and it was only a matter of time before it was wiped out in its current state.
He naturally remembered how many meters he had walked after rushing down from the pine ridge, and the terrain he was on now was quite flat, it should be in the very small basin marked on the map, although he was not familiar with the specific place, but he knew that he was already in the thundering drum Liu Village at this time.
He suddenly thought that if he was the supreme commander of the Japanese army, he should set up his headquarters here, because this was already the last part of the Japanese army, and he felt that he might catch a big fish.
As he was in the south, he heard a dense number of gunfire and shouts from the north, and he guessed that the national army from the north must have been outflanked.
In fact, what Huo Xiaoshan didn't know was that it was the national army that came from the north, but there were reinforcements to rescue the Japanese 106th Division behind, and if the Chinese army couldn't completely annihilate the 106th Division tonight, it might really lose this opportunity.
The idea of maybe catching a big fish made Huo Xiaoshan's heart flutter, even if the night was dark, no matter how strong his perception was, he couldn't see through the dark night, but he had ears, and the most important thing was that he could speak Japanese!
So, he took off a military uniform from a Japanese soldier who was hacked to death by himself, put it on, and simply walked forward like that in the night, even mixing with the Japanese soldiers who fled for their lives to the north.
He didn't speak, he just listened, and discerned the words of the Japanese army in the enemy group.
He heard some Japanese soldiers saying in a panic, "Withdraw quickly, Your Excellency the division commander has ordered a breakthrough through the siege", so Huo Xiaoshan crossed these soldiers and moved forward again.
Finally, he found that he had followed the Japanese army into a group of houses with dim lights, and it was no longer dark, this should be the Thundering Drum Liu Village.
Huo Xiaoshan entered the village and caught up with the largest number of Japanese soldiers, looking at the shadowy figure and listening to the chaotic footsteps, he judged that there were hundreds of Japanese soldiers in this group, if the Japanese army had a commander, it was the division commander you heard just now, Your Excellency should be in this group of Japanese soldiers.
He had already thrown away the strap of the box cannon and the wooden box, but he tucked the box cannon on his belt, and the Japanese military uniform that he picked up had already blocked the gun well, and he carried the Yanling knife and followed in the middle of the Japanese army.
He was not worried that the Japanese army would find out that he was not holding the Yanling knife in his hand.
It was still too dark, and although things could be seen, the Yanling knife was much narrower than the large blades used by other Chinese soldiers, only a little wider than the command knives used by the Japanese army.
When the soldiers were in a panic, he believed that no Japanese soldier would notice the difference in this knife.
Huo Xiaoshan walked with this group of Japanese soldiers as if fleeing for his life, and soon, he followed this group of Japanese soldiers out of the village and into the bushes outside the village.
By this time, the Japanese could no longer advance, because the guns were blaring from the opposite side, and the Chinese army had surrounded them from the north.
It was impossible to run anywhere else, and the south, that is, the death squad led by Huo Xiaoshan had already rushed up, followed by the large army led by the commander of the Central Army.
So Huo Xiaoshan was so latent in the enemy camp, but he didn't dare to move, and at this time, it was easy for people to find out that he was not holding the thin Japanese command knife.
He could only listen and observe, the dark woods blocked his view, and he finally did not realize that more than twenty meters away from him, a Japanese major general in his forties was exchanging clothes with one of his guards.
The shouting of killing is approaching, at this time Matsuura Junrokuro feels that he has really become the turtle in the urn, he doesn't even know whether he should lead his troops to the north or northwest or northeast to flee for his life, there are gunshots everywhere, where are his reinforcements?
By this time the Chinese soldiers who had been pursuing from the south had arrived, some with guns and some shirtless with box cannons and large knives.
They even captured dozens of Japanese prisoners when they had just rushed out of the village of Thundering Drum.
More than 50 meters away, another Japanese soldier hiding in the grass was caught, and the Japanese soldier who was once arrogant and fearless in the spirit of bushido, neither died with the Chinese soldiers, nor was he broken for the emperor, but raised his hands of surrender high under the guns of the Chinese soldiers.
Junrokuro Matsuura vaguely saw this scene, and although he couldn't see it clearly, at this moment he still felt a big mouth slap his face fiercely.
But how can the soldiers be blamed for this? Didn't one of his once proud major generals, division commanders, also hide?
None of the Japanese soldiers hiding in the trees dared to shoot or make a sound.
The mountains were still too big, the trees were still too dense, and the Chinese soldiers did not find the Japanese troops hiding in the bushes.
Huo Xiaoshan had good eyesight, and he even saw Shen Chong walking in front with a knife in one hand and a gun in the other.
He was trying to warn that there were still Japanese troops here. Suddenly, more than 100 meters to the northwest, a flare was fired with a "tom"!
It was the reinforcements of the Japanese army, and they had already broken through the resistance of the Chinese army!
Immediately afterwards, two more flares rose into the air, and in an instant, a radius of several hundred meters was like daylight.
Huo Xiaoshan didn't have time to warn again, but turned around and began to search the Japanese army with his eyes.
At this time, he heard a Japanese soldier more than 20 meters away shouting, "Rush in that direction!" "Obviously, the direction that the Japanese army said was the direction in which the Japanese reinforcements fired the flares, and those three flares were meant to guide them.
Then Huo Xiaoshan saw a man wearing a Japanese officer's uniform standing up in the bushes, Huo Xiaoshan instinctively pulled out the box gun tucked in his waist, threw the gun, and slammed the gun, and the Japanese officer fell down without even snorting!
And this gunshot became the order for the random shooting within a radius of several hundred meters.
The Chinese soldiers outside the woods discovered that there were still Japanese troops here, and the Japanese troops in the woods no longer fought back, but rushed to the northwest under the cover of the trees!
In the chaotic bushes, Japanese soldiers were constantly shot and fell to the ground, but the Chinese troops did not dare to enter the forest lightly.
The Japanese reinforcements in the northwest finally discovered the Japanese army that had broken through here, and in an instant, the powerful Japanese reinforcements broke through the overly thin encirclement of the Chinese army in the northwest with powerful firepower.
More than 200 Japanese soldiers were finally rescued!
In order to rescue the 106th Division, in order to prevent a division from being wiped out in disgrace by the Chinese army and the number of troops was canceled, the Japanese army had already made a bloody investment, and the Japanese reinforcements were able to rush here because the Chinese army's defense was already very weak.
Finally, the Japanese troops on the periphery received this remnants of the Japanese army that had escaped by chance, and they had no intention of fighting, but retreated in a northwest direction under the cover of heavy firepower.
The Chinese soldiers from the south rushed into the woods, they wanted to search for the remnants of the enemy, they wanted to replenish the guns of the Japanese army.
In the silence of searching, a voice suddenly shouted: "Shen Chong, don't shoot, it's me!" ”
