The sound of the cannon came out far away, and the rumbling cannon could be heard clearly even in Taihu Lake, thirty kilometers away.All the devils defending the position widened their eyes and looked ahead vigilantly.Inside the Japanese headquarters, Tsukada rushed out of the headquarters and stared at the night around him with wide eyes: "What's going on, where is the cannonball, where is the New Fourth Army attacking" But within the scope of Taihu Lake, what he saw was silence.The sound of cannons came from afar, striking like the thunder of the end times.Tsukada looked into the distance, and saw that the fire was in the far distance, and the entire sky was dyed pale yellow.It's as if there's some terrible monster hidden in there, and it's ready to be devoured at any time."
Report to the general that the defensive line around Taihu Lake has not been attacked by the New Fourth Army.The sound of artillery should have come from a direction thirty kilometers away," immediately a staff officer came to report."
Is there any war there thirty kilometers away, it needs such a big movement, judging from the kind of engagement seen now, it must be a decisive battle between large corps.Who the hell is there?"
Tsukada groaned.Suddenly, his brows furrowed tightly, and he almost lost his voice and shouted: "Shoutian Xiaoji, where are the troops of Shoutian Xiaoji now, let me contact them quickly." ”The surrounding officers immediately panicked, and immediately someone went to contact the troops of Shouda Koji.The sound of the radio crackling came from inside the headquarters, and each sound seemed to hit Tsukada's heart, and everyone was anxiously waiting.Artillery fire rumbled in the distance, and it seemed that this dark night would never stop.Everyone's eyes were drawn to the sky red by the cannonballs, and they forgot everything, and all that was left in their minds was the name of Shouda Koji."
Report to Your Excellency the General, General Shouda's troops have lost contact" At this time, an officer walked out of the headquarters and said with a bitter face."
What has lost contact" Tsukada Tsukasa's eyes widened, and at this moment it was like the sky was falling apart, and Tsukada sat on the ground, as if he had lost all his strength.The people around him hurriedly helped him up, and Tsukada was already colorless."
Quick, quickly notify the aviation units and immediately reinforce that area.Shoutian Koji They must have fallen into the ambush of the New Fourth Army, these damn New Fourth Army.Let the aviation unit be quick, and rescue the troops of Shouda Koji for me. ”Tsukada turned his head violently and shouted loudly: "Order the troops on the flanks to immediately support there, and give me the troops who will rescue Shouda Koji at all costs."
Hear clearly, at all costs. ”At the time of the Japanese chaos, the battle to stop the Japanese troops had reached its fiercest level.The two elite regiments of the Independent Brigade held their positions to the death, repelled wave after wave of attacks by the devils, and successfully held the position to the death.At the same moment, Shouda Kodera regained command of the troops.Faced with the incessant bombardment of artillery fire, Shouda Koji quickly made a decision.After all, he is a soldier who has followed Tsukada for twenty years, and he also has rich combat experience.It was clear at a glance that if he wanted to rush through the positions of the Separate Brigade, his troops would have to pay a terrible price.The military map was spread out to the ground, and a dozen or so guards illuminated it for him with flashlights.It was densely packed with place names, and soon Shouda Koji found where they were at the moment."
Here, we are here" Shoutian Koji's eyes gave off a cold light: "Damn, the frontal passage here has been blocked by the New Fourth Army, and there is still a fierce artillery attack behind it."
The only way to break out of this desperate situation is to rush out of this place. ”Shouda Koji's fingers paused in a very inconspicuous place on the map, less than three kilometers away from where they were now.There was the only way to rush through the predicament, the only hope for the Japanese army."
How many more people do we have in our troops, and how many forces can we organize," Shouda Koji immediately asked his men."
Report to the chief, the number of casualties is uncertain, but the various units have regained their chain of command.At present, the number of troops available is not less than 15,000, and there are still many stragglers who cannot be gathered, so it is impossible to estimate the exact strength of all the forces at this time. ”A quick report from an officer."
Very well, fifteen thousand people are enough.Do we still have artillery," Suda Koji continued."
Sir, the artillery and heavy firepower weapons, as well as most of the baggage, have been discarded.The artillery fire of the New Fourth Army was too fierce to be taken away. ”Another officer reports."
Bage Yalu, can you also be regarded as a dignified Japanese Imperial Army, and even the most important weapon has been lost" Shouda Koji was so angry that he couldn't speak, but now that the situation is critical, it is not the time to think about it at all.He held back his breath and pointed to the target on the map he had just chosen, "Gather most of your forces and give me a storm."
Give me whatever heavy weapons you have, and be sure to open the gap within two hours. ”All the senior officers around him nodded in unison and quickly dispersed in all directions.Shouda Kodera also commanded a part of the army to continue to storm the positions defended by the Independent Brigade, holding back this fierce force and preventing us from attacking the Japanese from the flank, and at the same time confusing the New Fourth Army into believing that the main direction of the Japanese attack was still here.After finishing everything, Shoutian Koji hurried to the new battlefield.The artillery fire of the New Fourth Army had already blown up behind him, there was no one alive there, and tens of thousands of Japanese troops were wiped out under the repeated artillery bombardment.But Shoutian Koji knew that now was not the time to go to heartache at all, and only by rushing out of here could he be qualified to go to heartache.At the same time, within the command in the mountains, less than two kilometers from the battlefield.The pen in Su Yu's hand fell heavily on a point on the military map, and a large circle was drawn on it.He looked at the officers at all levels in the headquarters with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice: "Huanghualing, this is the last place the Japanese army can think of to break through."
The encirclement we set up has been completely blocked before and after, and the position defended by Hu Xinghan is condescending, and the firepower is strong, and it is impossible for the devils to break through.In desperation, they had no choice but to break through with all their strength. ”Su Yu slapped the place with the black circle again: "Hold this place at all costs, you only need to hold it for an hour."
After an hour, all the troops will meet and will launch the deadliest general attack on the devils. ”Su Yu glanced at the group of officers under him, most of them were from the mud legs of the generals of the national army, and there were also a few officers with formal military education.But no matter what their origins are, at this moment, their eyes burst out with a strong scorching light, eager to fight the devil to the death."
Our weapons have never been as powerful as they are now, powerful enough to fight the devils head-on.This is the weapon that Captain Gao brought back for us with his independent brigade to eliminate countless devils, don't let down Captain Gao, don't let down the comrades-in-arms who died for the weapons in our hands of the independent brigade, and don't let down the expectations of the people of the whole country for us.Stop these devils and give me a hard beating" Su Yu raised his fist and waved it vigorously in the air.A loud roar of "yes" roared out in the headquarters, and every officer strode out of the headquarters with the belief of victory, heading to Huanghualing, which was about to become the main battlefield.Su Yu stood in the headquarters and watched everyone leave, his eyes shining brightly: "Tonight is destined to be extraordinary, Japanese, let you really fall into the battlefield of our Chinese and the whole nation." ”In the dark night, under the reflection of artillery fire, the Japanese soldiers of the brigade urgently advanced in the direction of Huanghualing.In the course of their march, they were constantly attacked by small units of the New Fourth Army, and their losses increased little by little.But none of the devils stopped or even fought back, their target was Huanghualing, which would be the only way they could escape.Shoutian Koji was in the midst of this huge contingent, and this 15,000-strong Japanese army was enough for a division, but the structure was incomplete, and it was temporarily integrated from the scattered troops.But the combat effectiveness is still strong, and Shouda Koji believes that with such a strong force now, as long as there is no artillery attack, any Chinese defense line can rush through."
The Chinese will definitely not have so many artillery groups, they have reached the limit.The artillery of the New Fourth Army must have been obtained from capturing the friendly forces that had been annihilated by them before.It's really damn it, I actually used our Japanese man-made artillery to attack our Japanese, the New Fourth Army, when I get out of here, I will definitely wipe out all of you with the main force. ”Shouda Koji swore in his heart, but he hurried forward without stopping.His troops had lost all mobility, and all military vehicles and motorized equipment were left under the previous artillery fire.Now that he is rushing on two legs, there is no longer any gap between him and the New Fourth Army in terms of excitement.Soon, Huanghualing appeared in front of the eyes of the Japanese army.It is a small mountain, only a hundred meters at its highest point.But this humble hill is the only place where you can break out of the encirclement, and this not-so-tall hill is the shortest in this undulating hilly terrain.As long as this road is opened, it is equivalent to opening the road to Taihu Lake."
The whole army immediately attacked, occupied this hill, and charged" The vanguard of the Japanese army had already arrived below Huanghualing, and before the follow-up troops arrived, the commander gave the order to charge.Now every Japanese officer knew that every minute of time had to be taken here.If we wait for the artillery bombardment of the New Fourth Army here, or if a large number of reinforcements from the New Fourth Army arrive here, then everything will be over.The Japanese army would be bogged down in an endless melee with the New Fourth Army, and would likely be annihilated eventually.The devils of the two brigades rushed towards Huanghualing with shouts, and one of the devils of the brigade set up a position at the bottom of the hillside and began to fire fiercely at the top of the hill to provide fire cover for the charging troops.Boom, boom, boom.Just when the devils rushed halfway up the hill, suddenly countless fires on the hillside rushed to the sky, instantly engulfing hundreds of devils in the firelight."
It's a landmine, everyone be careful," a devil officer had just finished speaking, when his feet suddenly went limp.Before he could react, a mine exploded, carrying his body into the sky
