Chapter 62: Annihilation (Three)

  "Commander, telegram from headquarters." "Oh? What does the telegram say?" Temple Shirō hastily came out from behind the desk and inquired about the contents of the telegram.

  "The airman will depart in an hour and it will take about three hours to arrive at Sunjiachang," said the telegraph operator.

  "Send a telegram to Major General Kato at once and tell him to hold out for three hours, after which the Air Force planes will go to his support," ordered Lieutenant Colonel Kodera.

  "Yes!", The soldier immediately turned around and went out to send a telegram to Kato.

  At this time, two regiments of the 385th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army had already arrived near Sunjiachang, and the two brigades began to launch a general attack on the Katō and Takagi detachments. The artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army was fierce

  The bombing was so intense on their positions that their soldiers couldn't even lift their heads, and they were completely unable to continue fighting.

  "Kato-san, this is a bad situation! With the Eighth Route Army attacking so fiercely, it's hard for us to hold out here for three hours." Captain Takagi said from beside him.

  "Not bad! At this rate, we won't be able to hold out for much longer and will be eaten up by the Eighth Route Army." Katō said to Takagi.

  "Kato-san, why don't we take advantage of the fact that the Eighth Route Army hasn't attacked yet and split our troops into two routes to break out externally. That way, the Eighth Route Army's forces will also be dispersed, and our pressure will be greatly reduced. After breaking out..."

  We will move separately towards Lucheng and Licheng, send telegrams to request the garrison there to approach us, form a pincer movement with them, and wipe out the pursuing Eighth Route Army at one stroke," Gao Shu suggested.

  。

  "Not bad! Now it seems that's all we can do, we can't just sit here and wait to die, let's set off now." After the two devils finalized their plan, they split up and marched in two directions against the Eighth Route Army.

  The artillery fire rate team launched a fierce attack outward.

  On the city gate of Lüshun, a Japanese soldier found that there was a convoy coming from the northeast direction. "Look, there's a convoy!", this Japanese soldier immediately said to his companions. The other Japanese soldiers all

  They intensified their vigilance. When the truck approached, they found out it was one of their own. At this time, a soldier jumped down from the truck.

  "Open the city gate, we are from Sanpu's team." The Japanese soldier shouted at the top of the city. The Japanese on the city wall heard that it was Sanpu who had returned and immediately went to open the city gate to let the truck enter the city.

  "Bastards! You're all going to die!", Commander Shōjiro's room echoed with his angry curses and the sound of objects shattering. It was Shōjiro, who had reached the peak of anger.

  Jiro flipped over his own desk. Kojiro Jiro pointed at Miura and scolded him severely, knowing that he had made a big mistake this time, messing up such an important matter, and his superiors would definitely

  Punishing him, at this moment he thought that it was really not right to divide the troops in the first place. If they had put all the men and horses together, the outcome might not have been like this, and he himself had made a clever move to deceive heaven and cross the sea

  Lured the enemy into a trap, but now it has resulted in losing troops and generals.

  "Captain Miura! We are both culprits of the Great Japanese Empire, I will report this action to headquarters and await punishment from our superiors." said Kojiro Kodera with a sigh.

  He said so. He could only resolve this matter in this way, after all, he needed to give his superiors an explanation.

  "Commander, I am guilty, and ashamed before His Majesty the Emperor," said Miura, self-reproachfully. But Komori Jiro had no desire to hear any more of these admissions of fault; he waved his hand to Miura

  Hand, indicating that he could go out, the tense Miura hastily bowed and left the command room of Kohei Temple. After coming out, he only discovered that he had been frightened into a cold sweat, it was really too tight just now inside

  Relaxed.

  "Charge! Charge!", Regimental Commander Takaki Taisa was now directing his soldiers to launch a charge towards the direction of Licheng, he attempted to break out of the Eighth Route Army's encirclement, but after several charges he found himself

  It seems that he has gone the wrong way, there are more Eighth Route Army men here, and it seems that he has entered an even tighter encirclement. What to do? Charge! There is only one way forward, he went mad

  Commanding the troops to charge forward, they arrived at a critical moment of life and death. The Japanese soldiers also fought desperately, rushing up without regard for their lives. In the end, Gao Shu and his men charged into the village, relying on civilian houses to fight to the death with the Eighth Route Army.

  。

  The loud shouting of the tall tree was like a dead dog, constantly echoing. He didn't dare to stop for a moment, and the Eighth Route Army's fierce attack made his subordinates fewer and fewer. He led the remnants to hide in a civilian house.

  He resisted to the end in his residence. Finally, he was attacked by the Eighth Route Army soldiers and killed by a bayonet of an Eighth Route Army soldier in hand-to-hand combat. The death of Lieutenant Colonel Takaki symbolized the demise of the Takaki Detachment.

  Annihilated by the Eighth Route Army.

  The Kaochu Lian Dui was annihilated, and Major General Kato was still leading his troops in a desperate resistance. Seeing that breaking through was hopeless, this old devil immediately led his troops to escape into the mountains and entangle with the Eighth Route Army.

  Waiting for the arrival of reinforcements. For a time, the Eighth Route Army soldiers really had no way to deal with them. Several attacks failed to annihilate the Kato detachment. In the end, under pressure from several routes of Japanese reinforcements,

  The commander of the 29th Division had to order a halt to the pursuit, clean up the battlefield and withdraw from this place. The old devil Gatun managed to escape with his life, but at this time his regiment was already depleted. The devils had never suffered such heavy casualties before.

  The casualties were extremely heavy, and the losses were extremely severe. In this battle, more than 300 trucks were lost, and thousands of people were eliminated. The weapons and ammunition captured by the Eighth Route Army were counted in tens of thousands.

  "Commander! Good news!", the deputy chief of staff excitedly entered the command room, where the deputy commander-in-chief was studying the battle map.

  "Oh! What's the good news? Has the 129th Division taken down the Little Devils?" The deputy commander turned around and asked.

  "Just received a telegram from the 129th Division, reporting that they have largely eliminated the enemy, with only a few scattered remnants remaining. Due to the arrival of enemy reinforcements nearby, the 129th Division fears that if they stay for too long,"

  "Due to unexpected changes, we abandoned a small number of enemy troops and withdrew from there. We have now retreated back to our garrison." The deputy chief of staff reported.

  "Hmm! Not bad, know when to stop, don't be greedy. The 129th Division did a good job this time, send them congratulations and commendations!" The deputy commander ordered, and the soldiers immediately went to send the telegram.

  Text.

  Li Ximin led the team to withdraw to Wangjiayu, where the headquarters was located. At this time, a loud explosion sound came from Sunjiazhuang and surrounding areas. The deafening roar was frightening. There were also Japanese planes

  That sharp cry, from here can still see in the direction of Sunjiazhuang village in the sky there are several black guys flying around.

  "Camp! What's that?" the warriors asked curiously.

  "Those iron things are the devils' airplanes!", Li Xinmin introduced to the soldiers.

  "Airplane? Iron thing?", "Is it made of iron? How can something made of iron fly in the sky!", the warriors asked curiously. Then Li Xinmin began to introduce them...

  Summon an airplane.

  Those wounded were given medicine and treated by doctors sent from headquarters. They were carried on stretchers by soldiers, following behind the troops.

  This time, the headquarters not only sent several doctors but also dispatched the remaining three battalions to meet Li Xinmin and his group. Zhang Dawei personally led the team to escort the doctors to arrive at Li Xinmin's location.

  They stayed there until they had treated all the wounded and then withdrew back to headquarters.
