At night, the sharp drop in temperature caused many Japanese soldiers to have chilblains on their hands and feet, and the Japanese soldiers who had been defending against the attack outside were even more embarrassed.

I couldn't sleep in the cold night, and when I got up early, the Japanese soldiers rubbed their itchy hands and feet, helpless and frustrated. After two days of confrontation with the attackers, not only did they not see anyone, but they couldn't even stop the pace of the other party's attack.

Iwakoshi Hengichi also got up early, although the temperature of the room was not bad, but he had no intention of sleeping. The other party's plan is very big, obviously trying to eat himself like eating the Seventh Division. Otherwise, they would not have chosen to start the assault during this time period.

He walked out of the room and walked around the camp, and he found that his team was probably in trouble. The cold morning made their breath hang white frost flowers on their eyebrows and beards, and under the gaze of Santa-Claus-like guards behind them, an irresistible chill suddenly rose in the heart of 'Iwakoshi Tsuneichi', and his face changed greatly, and his whole body trembled violently.

"Your Excellency Lieutenant General......"

An adjutant officer looked at Iwakoshi Hengichi in disbelief, how could this chief, whom they admired and awe, ...... at this time

Taking a deep breath, Iwakoshi Tsuneichi tried to calm himself down, and ordered in a hoarse voice, "Convene an emergency meeting of all adjutants." ”

In a moment, all the adjutants gathered in the cold conference room, standing in the empty room. They spewed white haze, which gave the cold room a bit of a fairyland.

Iwakoshi Hengyi looked at the generals one by one, and said in a deep voice: "Let's talk about it, we are currently in danger, the casualties of the soldiers are not large, the food and ammunition are sufficient, but the houses that can be heated and sheltered from the cold are not enough for us to survive the long winter. ”

A big Zuo took the lead and said: "I think we should attack heavily and go out to find supplies for heating to avoid shaking the morale of the army due to the severe cold." ”

"I think we should call for support. Otherwise, there were no trees within three kilometers of the camp, and with such deep snow, we would have been targeted to leave the camp. Another adjutant said.

A chief of staff coughed and said: "Calling for support is the best policy, we can burn everything that can be burned, such as tires and diesel, it should be no problem to hold on to the rescue of the large army, the other side obviously has no intention of attacking, as long as we hold the camp, the other side will not be able to overcome our defense line." ”

"Hold on!"

"Hold on to the ...... for help"

One after another, the generals and staff officers expressed their views.

'Iwakoshi Hengichi' weighed carefully, he agreed with this statement in his heart, there is no absolute crisis of heating now, but it can't last two days, and it is obviously unrealistic to go out to find wood, he saw that the thousands of soldiers who rushed out of the camp gate before were killed in a few minutes, and the other party did not have a few thousand, at least more than a thousand.

"I command!" Iwakoshi Hengichi took a deep breath and ordered, "The Hengshan Brigade is responsible for sorting out all the combustible materials in the camp, continuing to push the defense line outward, and pouring the fort and trenches with ice. ”

"The Mugu Brigade is responsible for the west side, and all the timber from the hundreds of houses there will be demolished and transported back!"

Iwakoshi Tsuneichi's second order sent a cold shiver to all the generals. There are the only remaining people in Baoqing, and if the houses are demolished, they will freeze to death.

"Your Excellency Lieutenant General, the warning ......"

A big Zuo weakly reminded.

"Yaga!"

Iwakoshi Heng waved his hand and slapped it in the face of the big one.

"Hey!"

The big Zuo didn't even dare to shake his head, straightened his neck and lowered his gaze, and stood in a regular manner.

"For the lives of our valiant warriors, I command!" 'Iwakoshi Hengichi' glanced around coldly, and ordered in a cold tone, "Get heating materials at all costs!" ”

"Hayi!"

All the generals stood upright, and no one dared to refute it.

With the order, the Japanese soldiers in the frozen Sishaluha began to spew gas, looking for combustible items all over the camp, and with the order, they put the spare tire in front of the barracks and put the diesel fuel in a safe place a little away from the barracks. Tables, chairs and benches were smashed, even the manger of the stables was not spared, but no one dared to touch the hay. That was their only hope of leaving, and if they were to break through, the horses would be the only force to break through the snow.

The other brigade was all dispatched, and a passage was opened on the west side of the camp with heavy troops, and defended on both sides, and a wing in the middle went straight to the houses on the other side of the big snow shell.

"Yaga!!"

"These bastards!!"

Seeing the mud walls and the smooth and slippery dwellings, all the Japanese soldiers cursed loudly.

In the midst of the cursing, suddenly, a Japanese soldier standing on the earthen wall looking around, fell headlong, and in the warning of the enemy attack, the Japanese soldiers standing on the high place fell down one after another.

"Withdraw to camp!!"

The Japanese opened fire in all directions in a panic, and quickly retreated to the camp along the snow shell that was already able to leave.

After throwing down hundreds of corpses over a distance of a kilometer, everyone retreated to the camp. After several successive dispatches to retrieve the body, but were left on the road, the camp gave up on salvaging the body and entered a state of full alert.

After sending the message, 'Iwakoshi Hengichi' sat in the house, he already had the consciousness of being besieged at this time, and the other party even moved away silently from the surrounding people, and the house was demolished, obviously because he would send someone to demolish the timber there. The possibility of going out to collect firewood is almost zero, there is no shelter on the smooth and slippery snow shell, and one will die if you go out. In addition, it is impossible for the snow shell to go with a large army, and once it collapses, it will be difficult to move an inch and become a target for the opponent. And the other party has obviously calculated all the possibilities, except for the trap, I am afraid that it is difficult to break through.

The garrisons of Qitaihe, Mishan, and Shuangyashan all received telegrams asking for help, except for Hulin, who did not dare to reinforce and needed to guard the fortress, these three places sent brigades to rush to reinforcements. The garrisons of Mudanjiang and Jiamusi were also ordered to clear the roads and move in the direction of Baoqing,

Kenkichi Ueda, who had just taken over as commander of the Kwantung Army, was a lame man who did not dare to be careless in the face of the Soviet Russian squad, he did not want to be disarmed and return to the field like Minamijiro, and he believed that this was by no means a squad, but a large force of armed forces operating in the mountains and forests. Therefore, even if the march is difficult, he must reinforce and look for the opponent to fight or annihilate.

The Japanese troops in the direction of the Qitai River were dripping with snow and trudging with difficulty.

At the head of the team were more than 300 war horses, pulled by the soldiers, who stepped on a passable road in the snow, and the soldiers stepped on the snow road that was still soft as sand, marching slowly.

On the hill in the distance, several long-awaited binoculars watched the entire army leave the Qitai River, and then they put away the binoculars and fired tracer bullets on the back of the mountain.

The observation post waiting for the signal in the distance quickly rushed back to the igloo, and with it, the message was sent.

Junko led the team to block the Japanese army in the direction of the Qitai River, and after receiving the news of the Japanese army's dispatch, he said: "I've waited for two days, and I can finally shoot, everyone remember, you are only allowed to hit people, and you are not allowed to hurt horses, that is our horse!" ”

"Yes! Our horses! ”

Pointing back to the officers to lead the order. In a few moments, a group of snow-white figures shuttled through the forest in the mountain col, quickly heading towards the pre-set ambush location.

More than two hours later, the marching Japanese troops were in great confusion, and one by one they were hit by bullets flying from nowhere, and fell to the snow. The other side seemed to have several times more strength than his own, and the sniper line was actually stretched for more than ten miles, regardless of head and tail, when a green light cluster flew into the sky, they launched attacks one after another, and in only two or three minutes, hundreds of Japanese soldiers were lying there.

After the Japanese army assembled and attacked the mountains on both sides, except for the traces of lying on the snow and the snow marks left by the skis, there was not a single figure.

The situation was the same in the direction of Mishan, as soon as the Japanese army left the city, they were seen by the sentry who had been squatting for two days, and then, Liu Hai led the team to leave the camp and go straight to the ambush site. Immediately afterwards, the way of encountering the attack was the same, the battle line was quite long, but the Japanese army did not know where the breakthrough point of the other side was, it seemed that the other side had opened its pockets and wanted to encircle the point to send reinforcements.

But when the Japanese army shrank its forces and prepared to attack the mountains on both sides, the attack was gone. But as soon as they moved, the attack came again. The loss of one or two hundred at a time made these Japanese generals mad, so they divided their troops into three routes, and continued to advance along the hillside in the direction of the main road, climbing to the top of the mountain with snow on two roads, and advancing in unison.

But even so, the Japanese army on the three routes was also attacked, but only the head of the middle road was taken care of, and the middle one was quite safe. The two sides are different, from time to time someone falls down during the journey, but the search can not find a figure, a toss, more than two hours even three kilometers out of the road.

The garrison of Shuangyashan will also enter the long blocking position constructed by Huzi three hours after leaving the city. Only the direction of Yamato town was left undefended.

There is only one infantry wing in Yamato Town, and it would be good for two or three thousand people to be able to watch their camp, and it was easy to dare not move their nests in the heavy snow. Besides, when they marched more than 100 kilometers in the mountains, they could not reach the place for three to five days, so naturally they did not send troops to reinforce them, but only strengthened their defenses.

When Iwakoshi Hengichi received reinforcements one by one and was blocked, he completely believed his previous speculation. There are thousands, if not more, of enemies here, ready to eat him.

"Want to eat me? Even if you're a steel tooth, I'm going to break one off! ”

Iwakoshi Heng was furious and ordered: "Layer by layer, the position is expanded outward, and everything within five kilometers of the surrounding area is shelled!" ”

With the order, the mountain cannon that had already been placed roared, making the silent world noisy. A kilometer or two outside the camp, the snow waves churned with a loud noise and then extended outward.

On the hill in the distance, the sentry in charge of observation took off his anti-frost breathing apparatus and said to his comrades next to him: "Pillar, the distance of the shelling this time is far away, is the little devil going to come out?" ”

The pillar shook his head and said, "The chief said that they will definitely struggle, but they will not rush out of the camp, at most they will grab firewood." However, as long as they dare to leave the camp, they will definitely not be able to go back, so let them fire the artillery first. ”

"Yes." The man who spoke before turned his head and said, "It's a pity that those shells are ours!" ”
