Suddenly, the advancing Japanese troops saw flares rising on the hillside directly in front of them.
Every time these flares rise, these Japanese soldiers will feel a sense of despair and suffocation.
It was like seeing the executioner raising the butcher knife in his hand, and the object being slaughtered was themselves.
Now, these flares once again illuminated the sky. On the high ground directly in front of them and on the hillsides on both sides, the machine gun firepower and rifle firepower of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army covered them.
In addition, a large number of mortar shells also fell into the Japanese ranks at this time.
The terrain here is so narrow that they can¡¯t even avoid it.
Here we can only suffer the indiscriminate bombardment from the artillery fire of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army.
Japanese soldiers continued to suffer casualties. At this moment, it was not just the artillery shells falling from the sky that attacked them. In front and on both sides of them, the infantry firepower of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army was also ruthlessly harvesting the lives of these Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese commander was really complaining at this time, because compared to the mountains they attacked before, this place seemed more desperate.
They wanted to retreat, but the Eighth Route Army and the Fourth Army did not give them such a chance.
Because there were two companies of troops behind them, blocking their way.
More than two hundred soldiers used machine guns, rifles, and rocket launchers to completely block the Japanese army's retreat.
The Japanese army was trapped in an extremely narrow area. If they wanted to charge, they had no place to deploy their battle formation and could not move.
Such a desperate scene made the Japanese commander lose his bearings at this time.
He sorted out his somewhat confused thoughts and observed the surrounding terrain amid the continuous explosions.
After some observation, he determined one thing, that is, this place is a desperate place, and it is absolutely impossible to rush out unless passing the mountain road ahead.
Another method is that their soldiers can break through the enemy's positions on both sides and in the front.
However, this is almost an impossible task. The Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army stationed here not only have better terrain than them, but also have an absolute advantage in terms of firepower.
The most important thing is that the enemies blocking their progress have a fighting will that is not inferior to theirs.
"what should we do?"
His staff officer said at this time.
¡°Order the soldiers to assemble and we charge towards the mountain peak over there. If we can capture that mountain peak before dawn, then we can run out.
If we cannot attack before dawn, then after dawn, it will be the time for the enemy to harvest our lives. "
As he said this, a look of determination appeared in his eyes.
It is dark now. If they cannot use the cover of night to escape from here, then they will lose their last chance.
"Yes! I will organize the soldiers immediately."
His staff officer said at this time.
At this time, he grabbed his staff officer and said, "How many people do we have now?"
"Probably, there are less than a thousand people. When we just retreated, many of us got separated from the main force."
His staff officer also looked embarrassed when he said this.
At this time, the captain of the Japanese advance brigade nodded and said: "Are they separated? Maybe they will slip through the net. That's fine, maybe they can go home."
As he said this, he showed a bitter smile.
It seems that these soldiers who are likely to escape will take those who have not yet escaped, or who can no longer escape, back to their hometowns, back to the place they have longed for.
The charge organized by the Japanese army started twenty minutes later.
They roared and rushed towards the joint defense positions of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army ahead, and towards their destined fate.
On the other side, Konoha Kiyoaki's troops have been cut off in half by the combined firepower of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army.
They were trapped in two different valleys. At the connection between the valleys, the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army assembled four Gatling machine guns, four large-caliber 12.7mm machine guns, and five mortars. , more than a dozen heavy machine guns, and two companies of infantry firepower as support.
In this way, the connection between the two Japanese armies was completely cut off and they were surrounded in this area of ??less than 100 meters wide.In a narrow valley with a height of 100 meters and less than five kilometers in length.
The telegraph operator of Konoha Qingmei has been requesting assistance from other Japanese troops in the surrounding area. At the same time, he is also sending telegrams for assistance to their highest command department, the Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters.
But Meijiro Xiangzu did not reply to him, because he knew that even if he replied to Konoha Qingmei and the others, it would only be lies.
He doesn¡¯t want to lie to his soldiers, and he won¡¯t lie.
As for the other surrounding Japanese breakout troops, most of them were too busy taking care of themselves, and it was impossible for them to help their division commanders break out of the siege.
At this time, a Japanese army captain ran over with a very panicked look on his face.
Looking at the blood-stained captain, Konoha Qingming said, "What's wrong with you? Didn't I ask you to attack the high ground on the west side? How is the situation?"
The Japanese commander shook his head and said: "Division commander, our coalition launched three attacks, but each attack was repelled by the enemy. Now our coalition's cumulative casualties have exceeded two-thirds. If we continue to attack, , I¡¯m afraid the civilian personnel in our unit will also be armed with guns.¡±
"Two-thirds of the casualties? Isn't there still one-third? Keep attacking!! Many regiments have even been wiped out. You still have one-third of the troops, and you come to me to complain! !¡±
Konoha Qingming grabbed his collar and said.
The Japanese captain was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he had no other choice.
Not only him, but also the Japanese soldiers under his command had no other choice.
Because the enemy will not let them leave here, but will use their machine guns, rockets, mortars and other weapons to continuously bomb and straf them.
Until no one of them can resist anymore.
Thinking of this, he immediately stood up straight and saluted Konoha Qingming: "Division Commander, farewell!"
Konoha Qingming also stood up and solemnly returned the salute to him: "Please!"
The Japanese attack was launched again.
But the outcome of the attack is already determined.
Facing the joint encirclement of the Eighth Route Army and the Fourth Army, the main force of the Japanese army was destined to be destroyed.
