Today's three watches, the first one is sent!!

…………………………………………………… Breaking through the three lines of defense of the Southwest New Army in a row greatly boosted the morale of the Japanese army, and looking at the fourth line of defense of the Southwest New Army in a stormy manner, the Japanese army unreservedly invested all its troops. Nearly 15,000 men of the four wings pressed on it in one go, and the originally tight defense line of the Southwest New Army immediately became full of holes and collapsed. There was a rout of the new army, "Kill!" Capture the Commander of China alive! The Japanese yelled. The biggest reason why the Japanese army attacked the defense line of the new army in the southwest at night this time was that it hoped to capture Cai Ye alive. No matter what the relationship between Cai Ye and the Northeast is, but at this stage, the southwest is still an independent force within China, if Cai Ye falls into the hands of the Japanese, then Japan can use Cai Ge's identity to stir up the situation in China, so that the increasingly unified China will once again become a land of war, so that Japan can fish in troubled waters.

Boom Boom!

Three red flares were lifted into the air. The soldiers of the Southwest New Army turned around and ran wildly without hesitation, without the slightest appearance of elite troops, which made the morale of the Japanese army climb again, and the Japanese soldiers rushed upwards with a roar.

"Yo Xi, this is the Chinese army, it's all a rabble!" The Japanese front-line commander said with a smile on his face. This old guy participated in the Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China, and the Qing army at that time was not as strong as the army in front of him, but the two troops fled very similarly.

The Japanese army, which was bent on capturing Cai Ye alive and disrupting China, rushed forward desperately, and at this moment the Japanese army almost forgot the existence of the Northeast Army. Neither the Fourth Division nor the Fifth Division had ever fought head-on with the Northeast Army after coming to the Yalu River defense line. I just listened to the brother troops say how fierce the Northeast Army was, but after all, this was not my own experience, and the two divisions were always a little skeptical. However, even so, the cautious Japanese commander aimed the first battle at the newly arrived New Army in the Southwest. According to Japan's internal evaluation of the Southwest New Army, the Southwest New Army appeared even later, and this force has almost no background, and the only thing worth paying attention to is the commander of this force, the merry general Cai Yi. Although this unit was led by Cai Yi, it was also equipped with Japanese equipment. It looks quite elite, but the top level of the Japanese army believes that the combat effectiveness of the Southwest New Army is definitely not as good as that of the Northeast Army, after all, compared with the Northeast Army, the current Southwest New Army is a complete upstart, and a few days ago it was still snatching its head for a relatively new rifle, and today it is covered with a mountain of weapons and equipment. It is not a matter of a day or two just to adapt and form combat effectiveness. Therefore, the Japanese commander judged that the operation would have a great chance of success.

It turned out that the current conjectures of the Japanese commanders were completely correct. The Southwest New Army took advantage of most of the day's opportunity to build a direction that seemed to be extremely solid, but when it really came to confrontation, it was simply vulnerable. Then the first advanced weapons and equipment have become ornaments, and it is difficult to form an effective battle. With the intelligence of the Japanese front-line troops, the atmosphere at the Japanese command became more and more relaxed.

"Your Excellency Commander, it seems that our choice this time is extremely correct!" Lieutenant General Oi Naritato said with a smile on his face. Although this strategy was offered by him, but Lieutenant General Shimakawa Fumihachiro, as the acting commander of the Korean Army, this victory must be counted as his share, and even if he is unwilling, this battle achievement may not have anything to do with Lieutenant General Oi Chengyuan, so Oi Chengyuan has to take into account the opinion of Lieutenant General Shimakawa Fumihachiro.

"Yo Si! Dajing-kun, this night attack plan is offered by you, if you win a big victory and can capture the famous general Cai Ye of the Zhina Army alive, when the reward of the military department comes down, I will not forget you! Lieutenant General Fumihachiro Shimakawa said with a smile on his face. If Cai Ye can really be captured alive, I am afraid that he may really be able to secure the position of the commander of the North Korean Army, and even he can be promoted to army general by virtue of this military merit and gain more power in the country.

The Japanese generals celebrated with their crowns, but they didn't know that all this was already expected by the Northeast Army. The retreat of the New Army in the Southwest finally led the Japanese into the predetermined encirclement.

Whoosh!

Three bright yellow signal flares rose into the air, and the Southwest New Army, which had been retreating, quickly entered the new defense line that had been built in advance, and began to desperately block the Japanese attack. Under the resistance of the new army regardless of sacrifices, the momentum of the Japanese attack was stopped to the death.

Command of the Northeast Army.

"Report to the commander, General Cai Ye has sent a signal that the enemy has been led to the designated place. Now the new army is holding back the enemy. ”

"Great! Give orders to all participating troops, launch an attack, and take out this lone army in depth! Lin Hu said excitedly.

With Lin Hu's order, part of the heavy artillery fire that was originally fired at the opposite shore suddenly turned its muzzle and shelled the Japanese troops in the ambush circle. The artillery unit had already calculated the shooting yuan, and now the shooting is naturally extremely accurate.

For a time, the charging Japanese troops were stunned by the overwhelming artillery fire.

"Enemy heavy artillery. Evade quickly! The Japanese commander yelled. However, the sound of the heavy artillery was too shocking, and although the Japanese commander tried his best, it was still difficult to effectively convey his orders.

Tick Tick Tick Tick ...... The trumpet of the Northeast Army sounded in all directions. A huge shout of killing resounded through the heavens and the earth.

"Damn, we've been ambushed by the Shina people! Retreat, retreat! "If the Japanese army didn't know that they had been ambushed at this time, then the Japanese army would be pigs.

When the news of the front line reached the Japanese headquarters, Lieutenant General Fumihachiro Shimakawa's face changed wildly, and his face was full of disbelief.

"How is that possible? How would the people of China know that we attacked their reinforcements? It doesn't make sense! Lieutenant General Fumihachiro Shimakawa roared loudly.

"Your Excellency, Commander, now is not the time to think about this, I propose to immediately concentrate forces to strengthen the outer offensive, and at the same time order the troops of the encirclement to break through." Lieutenant General Oi Narimoto said loudly.

Judging from the current situation, either their battle plan has been leaked, or there are high-ranking people in the Chinese army who have discovered their battle formation intentions in advance, and will plan them to lead them to the bait. In either case, the most important thing for Japan at the moment is to reduce losses.

It's hard to believe how quickly the tide of battle has turned, but that's the way it is, the four lines of defense that the Japanese easily took half an hour to capture are now impregnable fortresses that they can't capture with all their might. The four wings of the Japanese army launched several decisive attacks, all of which were beaten back by the Northeast Army with superior firepower. In order to block this lone army, the Northeast Army concentrated an elite division to tie up the pockets. Judging from the current situation, it is extremely difficult for the Japanese army to break through.

"Order the 1st Division of the New Army, rush to the battlefield and deal with the enemy as soon as possible!" Cai Yi knew that the battle on the front line was extremely tense, and if there was one more delay, the greater the losses of the troops responsible for the pockets.

With Cai Yi's order, the soldiers of the First Division of the New Army, which was originally defeated by the Japanese army, changed their momentum greatly, and the soldiers held the Japanese-made 38 big covers, and bravely and fearlessly launched a charge against the Japanese army. There was no longer a look of fear on everyone's face, but a glow of excitement.

Kill!

The New Army and the Japanese Army collided together, and the two sides engaged in a white-knuckle battle.

Poof! Poof!

Flesh and blood rolled, stumps and severed bodies covered the ground, and the rushing blood gathered into puddles of blood, full of a strange murderous aura.

Due to the shortage of domestic resources, the Japanese army showed simplicity in terms of weapons and equipment, and in order to make up for the lack of combat effectiveness, the Japanese army strengthened the training of white-knuckle warfare. It can be said that it is precisely because of the shortage of domestic resources that the Japanese army's white-knuckle combat skills have become very strong. In the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese army overthrew the Russian old Maozi with its fearless courage in white-knuckle warfare. The Southwest New Army, because the troops have been seriously lacking weapons and equipment, even if it is the most elite first division, although there is no shortage of weapons, but there is a serious shortage of bullets, in addition to Cai Yi is a military learned from Japan, military thinking is influenced by Japan a lot, naturally more than other generals pay more attention to white-edged warfare, and later observe the training ideas of the Northeast Army, and adopt Feng Yong's idea of developing a new style of white-knuckle warfare, so that the Southwest New Army's white-knuckle warfare is self-contained, and its combat effectiveness is not weak. Now the new army in the southwest and the Japanese army are facing each other, like the tip of a needle against Maimang, and they are fighting happily.

Da Da !

The extremely metallic sound of the Northeast light machine gun sounded on the battlefield, becoming more and more dense. Other units of the Northeast Army rushed into the battlefield. The pressure on the Japanese army was also increasing. In the end, a wing of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army could not withstand this pressure and collapsed. Then the collapse was contagious, quickly spreading to the Ling One Wing. The collapse of the 4th Division also had a huge impact on the two wings of the 5th Division. But at this time, it was seen that the two divisions were different. After the collapse of the troops of the 4th Division, under the attack of the Northeast Army, the soldiers chose to surrender, but although the two wings of the 5th Division also had great confusion, there were very few soldiers who surrendered. Even if they are broken up and alone, they will fight to the end.

By the end of the war, the Northeast Army had captured more than 8,000 Japanese soldiers, including more than 6,000 in the Fourth Division and less than 2,000 in the Fifth Division. After the war, the top brass of the Northeast Army was greatly shaken, and the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army also paid unprecedented attention to it. Fortunately, this time it was only two wings, and if the entire Fifth Division was involved in this attack, it would be impossible to trap them tonight.

The Japanese troops in the encirclement were completely annihilated, the morale of the soldiers of the Northeast Army was greatly boosted, and the troops responsible for the pocket struggled out of the passive environment of the two-sided attack and began to concentrate their forces to deal with the frontal attack of the Japanese army, and soon, because of the lack of strong terrain, the Japanese army crossing the river was suppressed by the Northeast Army on the river bank.

Boom Boom!

The artillery of the Northeast Army began to concentrate fire on the destruction of the Japanese pontoon bridges. The Japanese army was greatly frightened, and the Japanese heavy artillery units across the bank opened fire desperately, wanting to stop the idea of the Northeast Army, but now on the battlefield, when it comes to the number of artillery, the Northeast Army has the absolute upper hand. Under the bombardment of hundreds of artillery pieces of the Northeast Army, the Japanese pontoon bridge was finally broken. The ice on the river has also cracked. Part of the Japanese troops did not have time to evacuate and were left on the opposite bank.
