After seeing from the telescope that Mitsuo Komatsuzaki set the seriously wounded and the excess weapons on fire at the same time. It was the first time to see the Japanese army so crazy, Liu Changshun shook his head slightly. He didn't know how to express his feelings about what was happening in front of him.

Is this move of the Japanese army crazy or innate bestiality? But he couldn't say it. And beside him, Wang Xiaoming, who was also the first time to see such a crazy move by the Japanese army, also didn't know how to evaluate the Japanese army's move. The two men, who had just had a lively discussion about the war, were now surprisingly silent.

It's not that they have much sympathy for these two-legged beasts, but they didn't expect that these Japanese soldiers were cruel to the Chinese, and they were also right to their own compatriots. The seriously wounded who were burned alive by them in the fire, although they had lost the ability to move, were their compatriots after all. They're really good at it, too.

It's just that the exclamation of the two people didn't last long before it was interrupted. Komatsuzaki Rio's death struggle, almost not being counterattacked by him, made the two of them sigh secretly that in the end, it was the ace wing of the Japanese army, and in the current situation, they still have the ability to fight their own counterattack. And the attack can be so sharp.

Regarding Komatsuzaki Lixiong's move of sending him to the door to find a fight, Liu Changshun naturally would not politely accept all the orders. He did not mobilize troops to reinforce the two companies of the 1st Brigade on the front, but ordered them to retreat back to a second-line position 100 meters back, and after blocking the Japanese follow-up with firepower, he directly asked for the artillery of his headquarters. Let Ma Qichang hit a salvo at the front.

Seeing that the opponent's two companies that had been stuck in his heart were constantly retreating by his own counterattack, it seemed that Komatsuzaki Rigeo Osa, who saw the hope of a successful breakthrough, was about to continue to follow up, trying to break down the opponent's two infantry companies in one fell swoop and open a way for himself to break through. A burst of shells rained down from the sky, covering him and his remaining men firmly on the positions that had been vacated by two companies of the 1st Brigade.

He didn't expect that his opponent would open fire at night, less than 100 meters from the enemy, and the unsuspecting Komatsuzaki and his men were blown up with flesh and blood. After the shelling was over, Komatsuzaki was sad to find that his remaining forces were less than a quarter of his opponent's unexpected shelling. In other words, the remaining three-quarters were all blown into the sky.

After Komatsuzaki Takeo, who had lost almost all his troops at once, saw the opponent who had just been beaten by himself retreating, and now surrounded him again, he gritted his teeth and took the lead with his rifle and was the first to meet him. And the subordinates behind him, when they saw their commander rushing forward, rushed forward without the slightest fear to meet the opponent who had an absolute advantage at this time.

Komatsuzaki wants to end his life in a hand-to-hand fight, but that depends on whether his opponent gives him that chance. When Komatsuzaki Rio finally approached the opponent less than 50 meters with the remaining remaining strength, a batch of grenades suddenly flew out of the opponent's formation and smashed into the Japanese troops who launched the final decisive charge.

When the smoke of the grenade explosion cleared, the light machine gun and submachine gun in the opponent's hand were fired almost at the same time. The dense rain of bullets knocked the last dozens of Japanese soldiers who tried to make a final charge with their commander into honeycomb coal.

Luckily escaped artillery fire, and fortunately escaped the grenade explosion, when he rushed to a distance of less than 30 meters from his opponent, Komatsuzaki Rio Daisa's good fortune finally came to an end. The first of the influx of submachine gun bullets from his opponent knocked him into a sieve.

Unwillingly, it can almost be said that the dead eye is Rio Komatsuzaki, whose eyes have lost their former brilliance are staring at the opponent who is already close at hand, and he is unwilling to close his eyes.

However, his opponent didn't care whether he could close his eyes or not, and after seeing the rank of Dazuo on his collar badge, he was very sorry for the credit he had received but flew away, and after taking off his collar badge, pistol, and saber, he did not give him special treatment, and threw him and his troops into a big pit and buried them together.

The battle on the front line of General Shishan was completely quelled with the annihilation of the entire army of the 40th Wing. After the battle on this side ended, Yang Zhen refused Guo Bingxun's proposal to go north for reinforcements, and instead ordered that in addition to Wang Guangyu's brigade returning to the Xingshan area to rest and recuperate, Liu Changshun's troops immediately went south to recover the places occupied by the Japanese army.

After receiving the order, Liu Changshun and Wang Xiaoming led their troops to immediately go south, and successively recovered the county town of Tangyuan, which had been abandoned on their own initiative, as well as the important towns in the south of Tangyuan County. From time to time, small forces crossed the Songhua River and launched tentative attacks on the south bank.

In fact, when he received reinforcements from Guo Bingxun to the north, Yang Zhen had already launched an offensive against the entire front of the 22nd Wing. After the battle on the front line of Jiangjunshi, Yang Zhen could rest assured that several independent regiments that were currently staying on the front line and were ready to go south to reinforce at any time were transferred eastward. Yang Zhen's purpose in transferring several independent regiments to the front line of the birch tube was very simple, that is, he had not eaten for two days, and even the clean water that could be drunk was almost used up, and now it was the 22nd Wing that was hungry and cold to practice.

Chai Shirong and Wang Ruqi's offensive in the middle of the night, although unsatisfactory, failed to defeat the main force of the 22nd Wing in one fell swoop. In particular, Chai Shirong, who served as a flank detour, did not make as much progress as Wang Ruqi on the front. However, after a fierce battle in the middle of the night, the 22nd Wing was still compressed into a narrow area no more than 500 meters long from east to west and less than 200 meters wide from north to south before dawn.

If Nishidaijo Fat Osa didn't want to be driven back to the mud pit in the swamp, he could only stick to this small area, waiting for reinforcements who didn't know when they would be able to arrive. But when the reinforcements will arrive, he has no bottom at all.

That damn swamp devoured not only his artillery and heavy weapons, but also his backup radio. Several of the 22nd Wing's radios were either damaged by water or had to be thrown away. In the fierce fighting last night, the only remaining radio station of the 22nd Wing was reduced to parts by a mortar shell from the opponent and the communication corps. Without the means of communication, I have lost contact with my boss, and I am afraid that where I am now, Lieutenant General Bo does not know.

He had lost contact with the division headquarters for a long time, and he didn't know that Lieutenant General Nemoto Hiroshi and the 24th Division Headquarters had already returned to Nishiojo Fat Dasa, who was embraced by Amaterasu, and was still hoping that Lieutenant General Nemoto Hiroshi would be able to rescue himself and the 22nd Wing as soon as possible.

And the commander of the army, except for the occasional plane to send an airdrop order to urge him to speed up, there is no actual support. Nishiojo, who was compressed in a small area and could barely move, was holding in his hand the code book that had just been airdropped to make direct contact with the military headquarters and the order to urge him to move forward again, and he couldn't cry or laugh. Now that I don't even have a radio station at hand, what's the use of asking for this codebook? Isn't it possible to use it to burn fire?

In Nishi's opinion, this codebook is not as good as dropping a few rice balls to solve the urgent needs of the 22nd Wing. This unit has not beaten its teeth for two days and two nights, and it will not be able to get supplies if it continues to fight like this. Without the opponent to attack, even if you are hungry, you will starve the 22nd Wing.

For the current form, there is no longer the excitement of walking out of the swamp and appearing on the opponent's flank as a surprise soldier, and cooperating with the main force of the division and regiment fighting head-on, and crushing the opponent's first contribution to this operation in one fell swoop. Now that he lacks everything, he can't walk if he wants to, and he can't fight, and he can't fight, and he is almost at a loss.

It's not that he hasn't thought about breaking through, it's just that although the opponent's combat effectiveness is not strong, the momentum of the stubborn fight makes him unable to shake it off at all. In the fierce battle in the middle of the night last night, not only did he not get rid of the entanglement of his opponent, but he was surrounded by many powerful opponents.

He took the kettle handed over by the guards, drank a big sip of water, suppressed his hungry stomach, threw the kettle back into the hands of the guards, and said to the two captains in front of him: "We can't wait, even if we are hungry, we will be hungry here." After the loss of the last radio station, we have lost a necessary contact with our superiors, and there will be no reinforcements or supplies for at least a short time. ”

"If we sit back and wait, we're just going to sit and wait. It is necessary to break through, even if there is no air cover. There may be some hope for rushing out, but if we continue to stay here, I'm afraid we'll all be doomed. ”

Regarding the idea of breaking through Nishiojo Fat Dazuo, Yohei Kono, the first captain of the 22nd Wing, frowned and shook his head: "Your Excellency, Company Commander, it is necessary to break through. But how do we break through now? Each soldier now has an average of less than thirty rounds of ammunition on hand. Light machine gun bullets are less than a base, as for heavy weapons, I don't need to say. ”

"All our baggage was left in that swamp. The troops had now been without food for two days, and the soldiers were now barely sustaining themselves by relying on the inherent strength of the imperial army. If we break through, the bodies of our soldiers will not be able to support them at all. In the situation of lack of ammunition, we can only rely on the advantage of the imperial army in white-knuckle warfare to break through. ”

"But Your Excellency, Wing Commander, you say that with our soldiers now walking with their legs shaky, what are we going to do with our opponents with bayonets? It's not impossible to break through, but at least let the soldiers have a full meal and have the body to fight with their opponents. Otherwise, according to our current situation, let alone breaking through, it is the opponent who opens a big road for us to run, and we can't run far. ”

"And where are we going to break through? We have lost contact with the division headquarters for two days, and the surrounding enemy situation is unknown. To the north, that is the hinterland of the enemy's army, and is the main force of the division to the south still on the front line of the general's stone? Do we have to turn around and go back and continue to walk through that muddy pond? ”

Regarding Yohei Kono's words, although Nishiojo Fat Osa knew that this was the truth, he was helpless. There may be a way to survive if you break through, but staying here without breaking through can only be a dead end. Nishiojo Fat Dazuo insisted on breaking through, because in his opinion, there might be a way to survive in the breakout, and it was better than sitting and waiting for the whole army to die here.

Regarding Yohei Kono's objection, Nishiojo Fat Dazuo shook his head and said, "Kono-kun, I understand what you said." But without reinforcements, without supplies, we can't hold out here for long. Although the military headquarters gave us a password to be airdropped so that we could directly contact the army commander, we did not have a radio station at hand, and there was no way to ask for an airdrop. ”

"This time the operational command was noticeably sluggish, and did not even give us a single bulletin of the enemy situation, except for the airdrop order urging us to advance. The progress of the main forces of the division and regiment was not even revealed at all. We haven't contacted them until we received the password, and they still haven't felt anything wrong. ”

"I really don't know how the empire chose such a batch of rice buckets to form the Fifth Army. They should not be aware of the situation we are facing at the moment. But you see, since we have come out of the swamp until now, we have not received a word other than an order urging us to attack southward. ”

"Wait here and there, nothing but death awaits us. Sacrificing one's life for the empire and for the emperor is the glory of my generation of soldiers. But we can't all starve to death here. Now it is necessary to see that the breakthrough is necessary, and it cannot be delayed. ”

"From yesterday afternoon's encounter, I have found that although the opponent has a large number of troops, at least twice as many as us, his actual combat effectiveness is not very strong. From the point of view of tactical movements, it should be dominated by new recruits. And when fighting during the day, they attacked cautiously. As soon as our planes appear, their attack momentum will be greatly reduced. It seems that they still have a lot of scruples about our aviation. ”

"Therefore, although we have to take some risks during the day, it is easy for the enemy to see through our tactical intentions. But we can take advantage of its scruples about our aviation during the day and go all out to break through. Although the enemy situation in other directions is unknown, there is one direction where I know that there will be no ambush there. ”

After that, Nishiojo Fat Dazuo opened the battle map, pointed to the east, and said in the swamp where he had lost almost all his heavy equipment and baggage: "If they don't have any precautions against our breakthrough, this is impossible. But if they are also on guard in this direction, it is impossible. They would never have expected us to choose this route to break through. ”

Looking at the route pointed by Nishidaijo Fat Osa, Yohei Kono and Tasaka Eighty-eight, the captain of the second brigade, couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked at their top boss with a surprised look. They wondered if Nishidasa was hungry, and the swamp had swallowed up more than a squadron of them, and almost all of the baggage of the 22nd Wing had been lost in it. Why did he have to go back?
