Chapter 457: Tragic Breakout Battle

After the Emperor's Imperial Council, Sun Wen was given preferential treatment, and he, Mu Siran, and Wang Shi were taken to rest at Japan's largest hospitality institution. This made Sun Wen keenly aware that Japan also seemed to want a quick end to the war, which made him full of hope for this operation.

As the emperor of Japan, the god of Japan, of course, he will not see Sun Wen. After all, Sun Wen is only the head of a political party in China, and although his party army has some influence, it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of a big country like Japan.

However, this time it is clearly different, Sun Wen came in the relationship of liaison ambassador, which is in line with Japan's current interests. According to information from Japan's special high school, Sun Wen set off from the Northeast, which means that Sun Wen had been to the Northeast before coming to Japan, and had even obtained the authorization of Feng Yong from the Northeast. This made Japan pay attention to Sun Wen and his party. After all, the war was also a heavy burden for Japan.

"Mr. Sun, it seems that the Japanese really have a heart for peace talks!" Wang Shi said with a smile.

"Yes, but the old man has been in Japan for many years, and he has never received such preferential treatment, this is a reception as a gift of a country, it seems that the old man is stained with the light of Young Marshal Feng." Sun Wen said with emotion.

"Mr. Sun, in this country of Japan, they will only be afraid of you if you beat them hard and hurt them. Our Northeast Army wiped out more than 100,000 of their troops on the battlefield and basically expelled all the Japanese troops that invaded the Northeast. They themselves were shaken. It's understandable that we're waiting to be given preferential treatment. Wang Shi said with a smile.

"Yes! It is indeed a blessing for the entire Chinese nation to have a young marshal Feng in China. Sun Wen said with a sigh. During this period, foreign pro-China forces and overseas Chinese groups inquired about the situation in Northeast China, claiming that because of the strong rise of Northeast China, their treatment abroad was much better. At least now foreigners no longer dare to underestimate the Chinese, and there is much less injustice. These telegrams made Sun Wen full of emotion, and their alliance would make great efforts and sacrifices for the rise of China, but unfortunately it failed to change the status quo of China, but instead made China poor and weak. However, the Northeast Army's more than a month of war has boosted their infinitely expected status. Sun Wen felt more and more what the representative of the army that had always been strong.

"Sir, the Prime Minister of Japan is here?" Mu Siran said with a surprised face.

"Hmm!" Sun Wen stood up indifferently. Sun Wen has gone through half a lifetime of floating dust, and he has never seen any scenes, although the Japanese Prime Minister is in a high position, Sun Wen does not have the slightest fear. After all, there is a huge China behind him. Even if China is not at peace now, it is not something that anyone can humiliate. What's more, his current actions are in the interests of both China and Japan, and even the Japanese prime minister should be polite to him.

Wafangdian battlefield.

The 10th Division has been besieged for a day. The attack of the Northeast Army weakened a lot. On the Japanese position, the corpses of many Chinese soldiers were piled up. Because of the tense fighting situation, the Northeast Army did not even have time to collect the bodies of soldiers killed in battle. The Japanese showed that they had generally retreated a little, and those lost positions had fallen into the hands of the Northeast Army.

Command of the Northeast Army.

"Report to the commander, our positions have been fully constructed, and the exchange of fire with the Japanese army has caused our army a lot of losses."

"How many people have been lost?"

"The Japanese army focused on the southern front, because the Japanese large-caliber artillery participated in the battle, and our battle losses were about 2,000 people. The other battlefield losses were around 500 people. ”

"What about the Japanese army?" Zhen Zhen asked in a deep voice. Losing three or four thousand people in one day made Zhen Zhen very distressed, but in order to complete the battle plan, they had to do it.

"The losses of the Japanese army are also not small, the Japanese artillery is limited, and in the case of defending on all sides, the Japanese army can only ensure that the firepower of the southern front is superior, and we are pressing the enemy on the other three lines. Even if the loss is not as large as ours, it is not much different from ours. ”

"Very good, let the troops on the southern front switch from offensive to defensive, and the other three fronts strengthen the attack." Zhen Zhen commanded.

Boom Boom!

The shouts of killing on the battlefield resounded all over the world. On the Eastern Front, with the help of artillery, the Northeast repeatedly rushed to the positions of the Japanese army, inflicting huge casualties on the Japanese army. The Japanese army has lost one of the three lines of defense, and now the two sides are fighting and grabbing the second line of defense, and the battle is extremely fierce.

Attacking from all sides, the Japanese army divided its troops to resist, and except for the heavy artillery troops on the southern front, the other three lines were under great pressure, and the troops suffered heavy losses.

Wafangdian, the headquarters of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army.

"We can't hold out for long with such intensity, order the other third-line troops to stay behind the palace's troops, and the other troops will assemble towards the south gate." Lieutenant General Fumihachiro Shimakawa, commander of the 10th Division, said in a deep voice.

"Break through to the south? Your Excellency, Division Commander, there is a heavy artillery unit in the south! In the event of a breakthrough due south, there will definitely be heavy losses. "The chief of staff, Major General Kawai Sho, did not understand what Lieutenant General Fumihachiro Shimakawa meant. In today's one-day offensive and defensive battle, it can be seen that the Chinese army has deployed heavy troops in the south, and even concentrated all its heavy artillery on the southern front, making it clear that the Japanese army will not be allowed to move south. But now that Lieutenant General Fumihachiro Shimakawa has given up attacking the weak point of the Shina army and attacking the strongest point, it is really incomprehensible that such an action is incomprehensible.

"Chief of Staff, there is an old Chinese saying that if the virtual is the real, the real is the false. The attack of the Chinese army on this day showed the solidity of the southern front. In this case, as the commander of the 10th Division, the greatest possibility is to break through in other directions, so that the encirclement can be broken out with minimal casualties. But if we do this, we will definitely fall into the trap of the Chinese and break through from the other three directions, and the north is the least likely choice. It was the hinterland of the Chinese people, and rushing into it was tantamount to seeking their own death. The east and west sides look similar, both can go straight to the coast and seek refuge from the navy, but in terms of distance, neither is as fast as the south to the Golden State. What's more, we are not familiar with the terrain whether we are going east or west, and we are easily ambushed by the Chinese people, and we cannot repeat the mistakes of the 1st Division. Lieutenant General Fumihachiro Shimakawa said.

"Your Excellency, the commander of the division, the defense of the people of China on the southern front must be very tight, and it is not easy to rush out."

"It's not easy to rush, according to the current intensity of the battle, we can't last long as a lone army. And there is a steady stream of logistical supplies behind the Chinese people, and even if it is consumed, it will consume us to death. So, no matter how strong the enemy's defense is, we must break through. ”

The night was dark, and the position that had been attacked for a day was quiet, and this time it was a siege-based battle, so naturally there was no need to harass the enemy from time to time, and after the night darkened, the whole battlefield became quiet. Both sides stopped the exchange of fire and began to send soldiers to clean up the corpses on the battlefield, at this time, the two sides occasionally did not fire, and watched the other soldier's expression indifferently carry back the corpse of their own general.

But there was no quiet on both sides' positions. Neither side lit a fire to cook, but crawled on the cold ground while nibbling on cold dry food, one hand holding the rifle tightly in hand. The firefight was stopped. But the fighting on both sides did not stop.

Boom Boom!

Fierce gunfire suddenly sounded around Wafangdian, and the originally peaceful battlefield suddenly became lively. Heavy machine guns, artillery guns, mountain artillery, field artillery, and heavy artillery fired at the same time, and the entire battlefield became chaotic.

Command of the Northeast Army.

"Report to the commander, the enemy has suddenly launched an attack on all sides, and the target is unknown!"

"Attack from all sides? The enemy wants to break through, but they are not sure that they are going to break out from that side. Zhen Zhen said in a deep voice.

"Commander, how do you tell if the enemy is going to break through?" Qian Zhuangfei asked. After a day of war, some of the Japanese positions fell into the hands of the Northeast Army, and it is possible that they took advantage of the night to recapture the positions. In Qian Zhuangfei's view, this is very reasonable.

"It's very simple, the enemy is now a lone army, after a day of high-intensity combat, the pressure on ammunition logistics will be very great, if they don't want to be dumplings by us, and then slowly eat them bite by bite, then they can only choose one direction to break out." Zhen Zhen said with a smile.

"Breakout? Commander, from which side will the enemy break through? Qian Zhuangfei asked energetically.

"It's possible on all sides!" Zhen Zhen said in a deep voice.

"Four-sided? Commander, our forces are divided into four forces, I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand the desperate breakthrough of the Japanese army, right? ”

"Who said it was four shares! Our troops were divided into only three units. One of them is a virtual soldier! ”

"False soldiers? Which side? Southern? Qian Zhuangfei asked.

"Of course not, the south is the closest battle line to the enemy's rear, and no amount of troops can be placed there, and even if the enemy does not break through there, it will be the focus of defense. The entire Wafangdian, except for the north is the door of life, and the other three doors are the door of death. If the enemy generals choose to break through from the north, they may still have a chance to survive, but if they break through from other directions, then they will not be able to get out tonight. Zhen Zhen said with a smile.

"Commander, why do you leave a living gate in the north, if the enemy generals are bold, they may not have imagined that the north may have weak troops and it will be easy to break through." Qian Zhuangfei asked suspiciously.

"If the enemy generals choose the north, they will be able to get out of the current crisis, but the north is our hinterland, and it is far from the coast, the Japanese army does not want to be replenished, and it is our opportunity to go to the north everywhere. The enemy is less likely to escape. It's just that if they go through the north gate, we'll have to work harder. Zhen Zhen said with a smile.

"Report to the commander, an urgent telegram came from the southern front, and the enemy concentrated all its artillery forces to bombard the southern positions. Two lines of defense have been captured, and the two sides are repeatedly fighting for positions. The battle front was tight, and the 6th Brigade asked for reinforcements. The herald shouted.

Sure enough, they still chose the south gate, and ordered the troops to attack the other three defense lines with all their might, and attack Wafangdian in the shortest possible time. The Sixth Brigade was asked not to keep reserves and to put all the troops into it, and the battle would be considered the Sixth Brigade exhausted. The Japanese army could not be allowed to break out. Zhen Zhen said loudly.
