    At three o'clock in the morning on June 13, after 6 hours of bloody battle, the Yamada Division in the encirclement suffered heavy casualties. At this time, there were only more than 1,000 troops left in the 3,000 troops. Even the brigade commander Yamada Tetsujiro was seriously injured.  .

    The remaining little devils were surrounded on a small hill. At the beginning, the little devils still wanted to stick around and wait for help, and the center blossomed!

    But just two hours later, Major General Yamada realized something was wrong. First, there was no news of a breakthrough from Kimura Hyoutarou, and then the casualties of the troops skyrocketed, and it looked like more than half of the casualties would soon be achieved.

    Once more than half of the troops suffer casualties, their combat effectiveness and morale will plummet, and eventually the troops will lose the ability to break through.

    Although Major General Yamada knows that he is a bait, the bait is almost eaten now, but the fishermen have not moved yet. As a bait, he must find a way to save himself.

    After a brief discussion with the officers on the front line, Major General Yamada decided to break out of the encirclement immediately. Otherwise, when the troops lose their combat effectiveness, they will not be able to leave even if they want to.

    As for the central flowering and the elimination of Li Guoyao's troops, they are all false. They are all dead, so why do they need those false names?

    In fact, the so-called bushido spirit of the Japanese army is just a tool used by the top to brainwash lower-level officers and soldiers. Bushido originated from the Kamakura shogunate in Japan and was later formed by absorbing Confucian and Buddhist ideas during the Edo period. It includes honor, loyalty, courage, and justice.  , etiquette, sincerity, restraint, and benevolence eight virtues.

    Only warriors who possess these virtues can have honor. Warriors who lose their honor will commit suicide by caesarean section.  The Bushido spirit of the shogunate period is still worthy of respect, but if the Japanese army in World War II had the Bushido spirit, then even the coffin boards of the Japanese samurai cannot be covered.

    The Japanese army in World War II was recruited from civilians, which is completely different from an army composed of samurai. It is not worthy of talking about the spirit of Bushido.

    During World War II, the Bushido spirit promoted by Japanese officials has been completely deformed and turned into a tool for brainwashing its own people and foreign aggression and expansion.  Many times, the impression given to us by the Japanese army is that they would rather die than surrender. Many people would rather commit suicide than be captured.  Rather than saying that the soldiers could be killed and not humiliated, it would be better to say that they committed suicide out of fear of crime.

    Because many Japanese soldiers knew very well what they had done in China and knew that the possibility of being beaten to death once captured was almost 100%. Moreover, even if they were not beaten to death by the local people, they would still suffer justice.

    Therefore, the top Japanese military leaders used the rules and regulations used to restrain samurai during the shogunate era to fool these civilian soldiers and low-level officers, making them feel that dying on the battlefield is also the highest honor for the emperor.

    Therefore, Japanese soldiers have this abnormal understanding. On the battlefield, the armies of other participating countries will try their best to treat the wounded, with the exception of Japan.

    They will not rescue the injured soldiers, but directly give them a knife. In addition to the higher cost of treating the wounded, it is also to implement their bullshit bushido spirit.

    For the fanatical Japanese soldiers at that time, Bushido was their only spiritual support. They would believe that "death itself is a victory."

    Although this can be said to be the encouragement of the Japanese high-level soldiers to their soldiers, it can also be seen that they are just killing machines. They think that dying in battle is an honor, and they are nothing more than beasts.

    But please remember, this situation only exists among the lower-level officers and soldiers. The vast majority of senior Japanese commanders are still clear-headed, and they have not been fooled by such nonsense.

    Thinking about the Tokyo Trial a few years later, every Japanese military leader was either pretending to be crazy or crying bitterly, and there was also the madness of the lower-level soldiers. At this time, talk to them about the spirit of Bushido?

    Moreover, suicide also requires courage. You will not die immediately if you commit suicide by caesarean section. The whole process is quite painful, so choosing to commit suicide by caesarean section requires great courage.

    Throughout the millions of Japanese troops during World War II, countless generals committed suicide after defeat, but how many generals actually committed suicide by caesarean section?

    In 1962, Japan published a book titled "Records of Those Who Committed Suicide and Martyred in the War" written by Aszo Nagamatsu. It mentioned that after Japan's defeat, a total of 527 soldiers, including general-level officers, committed suicide.  Among them, there were 5 army generals, 11 lieutenant generals, 6 major generals, and 16 colonels, accounting for 7% of all suicides.

    Among these people, less than one-tenth actually commit suicide by caesarean section, and Anan seems to be the only general who has records.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  Even the way to die is wrong, how can we talk about the Bushido spirit?

    It can be seen from this, the senior generals of the Japanese army will not choose to remain silent without knowing what is right or wrong. Once the situation on the battlefield is not conducive to them, these people will resist, even if it is their commander who issues the order.

    However, Li Guoyao had already regarded Yamada's brigade as a piece of food on his plate, which might allow them to break out easily. When he saw the little Jaap trying to escape, all the troops pressed up and beat him up, and forcibly defeated Yamada's brigade.  Called back.

    The result was that Yamada¡¯s headquarters organized troops to break out twice but failed both times. Instead, they themselves lost troops and generals!

    After the troops broke out for the second time and were beaten back, Tetsujiro Yamada was horrified to find that there were less than a thousand people left in their army.

    Not only did the soldiers suffer heavy casualties, their morale was also extremely low. What was even more frightening was that their ammunition was also seriously low.

    The main reason is that the arsenal they previously stored in Lanling was destroyed by the special forces, so they have been fighting with the ammunition they carried before for the past two days without replenishing it.

    The ammunition is almost exhausted, and once the ammunition is exhausted, the guns in the hands of the soldiers are not even as good as fire sticks.

    Major General Yamada is almost desperate. His leg was injured by a cannonball. Although it was simply bandaged, if it is not treated in time, he will become a cripple even if he recovers in the future.

    And with his leg injured, he couldn't move quickly even if he broke through. In desperation, Yamada had no choice but to order the troops to continue returning to the hill and wait for help.

    "It's just that all the Japanese soldiers, including Yamada, know that waiting for help is just the best way to put it. In fact, they are waiting to die here.

    However, what Yamada and others did not expect was that starting from four o'clock in the morning, the offensive intensity of the Chinese army outside the encirclement circle significantly weakened.

    Although there is still considerable pressure, the artillery fire is obviously not as violent as before, and there is no longer a large-scale charge, which makes Yamada and others relax a little.

    In fact, what Yamada and others didn¡¯t know was that the main force of the national army on the outside of the encirclement had already withdrawn!

    Xie Baojun and others are still somewhat confused about Li Guoyao leading his troops to leave at a critical moment.

    After all, victory is just around the corner. It won¡¯t take long for all the Japs soldiers, who number less than a thousand on the hill, to be wiped out. At this time, the main force suddenly withdrew. Didn¡¯t this give the Japs a chance to breathe?

    " But Li Guoyao didn't think so, because he had more plans. He was not satisfied with just annihilating a brigade of little Japanese.

    What's more, Yamada's headquarters is not a fully-staffed infantry brigade. It is just a remnant regiment with a strength of a little more than 3,000. It is not even comparable to a complete infantry regiment, and it obviously cannot satisfy Li Guoyao's appetite.

    ¡°Besides, Li Guoyao has spent so many days in Jiguanzi Valley, so he can¡¯t let it go to waste!

    So after discovering that Yamada¡¯s headquarters was unable to break out, Li Guoyao made an immediate decision and left a brigade of troops to continue besieging Yamada¡¯s headquarters. All the remaining troops returned to Jiguanzi Valley overnight. He wanted to clean up Kimura¡¯s headquarters!

    As for the Yamada Division, if the stubborn ones have the guts to break through and succeed, then they will be lucky.

    "If they haven't successfully broken out by the time the main force of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps finishes their work, then they shouldn't leave!"
