,, Heavy breathing, the fire pills sprayed out of the muzzle were harvesting life... Guan Lu took a few Huashidadao to the position and ran into a group of Japanese devils. When these Japanese devils saw a group of officers coming up, Li Hai rushed over fiercely, but was quickly defeated by Style 39. Before they could recover, the sword light flashed. A strong wind thrust straight to Guan Hu's neck. Guan Hu quickly jumped back and held the 39 rifle in his hand tightly. The strong wind turned into cold air and came to his left rib. Guan Hu didn't have time to shoot, so he jumped out with force, handing over the sword and gun first, making a crisp sound.

After breaking the Japanese sword, Guan Hu saw clearly that the Japanese in front of him was a bearded officer. The officer held the knife in both hands and shot fierce lights. Before Guan Hu could make his next move, he raised his command knife and pounced on him again. Guan Hu pulled the trigger, and made an empty sound in Style 39, and the bullets were all shot.

The sword light quickly hung down from left to right. Guan Hu collapsed out in a little panic. The sword and gun made another harsh collision sound. Guan Hu grabbed the step forward and approached the Japanese. The Type 39 semi-automatic rifle was shorter, which was not conducive to assassination. The Japanese command knife was longer, which was not conducive to fighting if it was close.

The Japanese officer had a rich fighting experience. After being leaned up by Guan Hu, he was not panicked. The two stared at each other face to face, and the breath from their mouths sprayed out directly in the other's face. Suddenly, the two pushed each other away with force at the same time. In just a moment, the Japanese officer rushed up again, commanded the knife from bottom to top, and lifted Guan Hu's lower abdomen. Guan Hu saw the knife clearly, blocked the sword with three-nine guns, moved forward, pulled the opponent two meters away with one foot, and then quickly pulled out the shell gun, and raised his hand and shot a few blood flowers bloomed on the Japanese officer's chest.

It was obvious that the position of this officer was not low. After seeing him being shot dead, several Japanese soldiers howled and rushed towards Guan Hu. Guan Hu moved his muzzle and shot continuously to kill all the Japanese who rushed towards him. Then, taking advantage of the short space to quickly replace the magazine for the Sanjiu rifle and push the bullets into the load with a bolt.

Guan Hu had a shell gun and a semi-automatic rifle in one hand. He rushed to him with two guards and the Japanese beat him up, then rushed to the breakthrough, set up a machine gun to block the breakthrough, and the Japanese who were cut off from the position were quickly wiped out by the soldiers.

After repelling the Japanese attack, it was already dawn and the soldiers began to quickly clear the positions. Guan Hu spoke out loudly and taught the count of the number of people. He immediately hid and prepared to welcome the Japanese's next attack.

"Run the Chief of Staff! Chief of Staff!"

Guan Hu was shocked and hurried over. Yang Xingpeng's eyes were closed, and his belly was cut by a bayonet and his purple intestines flowed out. A soldier was trying to stuff his intestines back into his stomach. Guan Hu sighed softly, and patted his shoulder. "He is dead. Come on, send the body of the chief of staff down.

Two soldiers ran out from behind Guan Hu. He lifted Yang Xingpeng's body and walked down the mountain. Guan Hu turned around and asked everyone to hide quickly and prepare to welcome the next attack of the Japanese. Guan Hu was in a heavy mood. He paid the price of more than 20 people to repel the Japanese attack. Now there are less than 30 people left on the position. With such an attack, there will be no one on the position.

What surprised Guan Hu was that after the sky was bright, the Japanese attack never began. The entire outer battlefield of Mei Miao suddenly became calm, and the lack of rumbling cannons made all the soldiers in the fierce battle still feel a little uncomfortable.

Lu Ruishan and Yu Chengwan were a little confused about why Shinichi Tanaka stopped attacking at this time, but they had no time to think about it. Taking advantage of the Japanese army's stopping the attack, Lu Ruishan led the ** brigade to quickly evacuate Meimiao and move northward.

After the Japanese army slowly advanced to Mei Miao, they did not pursue the victory, and everything seemed a little strange. Could it be that the Japanese army gave up Watanabe like this? Lu Ruishan and Yu Chengwan had no time to think about it while they retreated to the Moya Valley with their troops with serious casualties.

All the weird things seemed normal to Li Anding, and they attacked Tanaka Shinichi fiercely. With Zhuang Jihua's consent, Li Anding carefully designed an action to deceive the enemy. The key to this action was to convince Ji Feixiang that the Expeditionary Army was leading Tanaka Shinichi to Lashio step by step, and the Fifth Army had already assembled in Akatsumachi. The reason why Watanabe had not been completely wiped out was to attract Tanaka to take the bait.

In order to make Ji Feixiang believe, Li Anding and Zhuang Jihua also jointly formulated a combat plan. In this plan, it was clearly stipulated that before Tanaka Shin's attack on Mount Papani, the Watanabe group must not be completely annihilated. Once Tanaka Shin's attack on Mount Papani, they will immediately annihilate Watanabe. The 58th Army and the New Eighth Army jointly defended Papani and consumed the Tanaka Group; the Fifth Army hid in the Hukang Valley north of Lashio. After annihilation of Watanabe, the 103rd Army and the 66th Army carried out counter-interruption, conquered Mandalay, completely encircled and annihilated Tanaka Group, and reversed the situation in Myanmar in one fell swoop.

This combat plan fell into Ji Feixiang's hands. Ji Feixiang dared not believe it completely, nor did he dare not believe it completely. The Fifth Army had really gathered in the town of Wa Town? Ji Feixiang's hesitation was completely controlled by Li Anding, so a liaison officer of the 200th Division arrived in Lashio and accidentally let Ji Feixiang know that some of the oil was drawn from the difficult materials and secretly transported north. Dozens of cars were loaded with gasoline and diesel in secret drove out Lashio late at night. This move made Ji Feixiang finally believe Li Anding's combat plan.

Ji Feixiang's intelligence flew to Mandalay. After receiving the telegram, Jiro Ii Mingxiang was a little unbelievable. The squadron had such a big appetite? He annihilated 80,000 imperial troops at one time. In doubt, he ordered Shinichi Tanaka to slow down the attack and forwarded the telegram to Soichi Teraunuchi, asking Soichi Teraunuchi to try to verify the information.

Iida's order made Tanaka relieved. Although Tanaka's offensive was fierce, the troops suffered huge casualties. The 35th Division and the 33rd Division lost more than half of the losses, the 18th Division has always been the main attacker, with losses exceeding 30%, and the 55th Division has also suffered a slight loss of 20%. In addition, there was a shortage of ammunition, and each unit was urging artillery shells, but transportation was very unsuccessful. In addition to the damage caused by the squadron when retreating, it was also frequently attacked, and the materials transported could not meet the requirements at all.

When Soichi Teraunuchi received the information from Iida, he was very uneasy. Zhuang Jihua left a deep impression on him. During the first battle of the Jinpu Road, no one from the North China dispatched troops believed that Zhuang Jihua dared to target the entire Second Army. But in the end, the Second Army fled north in a hurry under the city of Xuzhou. One division was completely wiped out, and most of the other division was wiped out, and two division commanders were killed, which created the most severe failure of the Japanese army since the Meiji Restoration.

However, Soichi Tanuchi did not dare to believe this information easily. He immediately contacted the Military Intelligence Department. The Intelligence Department quickly reported it back. The Chongqing government ordered the transfer of the Fifth Army on the Yunnan-Guizhou border to western Yunnan half a month ago. A few days ago, the spymen lurking in Kunming discovered that there were a large number of Tanzania.

The two pieces of information confirm each other. At first, Sora Terui believed in the accuracy of the information of Kikiki, but was Watanabe really helpless? Sora Terui was hard to give up. The battle under Lashio City has attracted the attention of Tokyo. When news of success on various fronts frequently spread, Watanabe's danger is particularly eye-catching. Emperor Hirohito has asked about the progress of the war in Myanmar several times and is strongly concerned about the situation of the Watanabe group. These reasons have made Sora Terui dare not make the decision to give up Watanabe easily.

In addition to opening up the road from land, other measures to rescue Watanabe have failed. The operation to drop materials to Watanabe has stopped. On the one hand, the material capital of the entire Southern Army is tight. The next main task of the Southern Army is to occupy the East Indies. The already scarce materials must be left for this operation, so it is impossible to provide more materials to Watanabe. In addition, the operation of the airborne operation has evolved into a disaster. The transport plane lost a square in the clouds over Myanmar, and there was no airdrop area at all. He dared not airdrop easily. In the process of finding the airdrop location, the two transport planes collided and were then attacked by the Chinese and US Air Force. More than a dozen aircraft were shot down. Before the airborne brigade had been airborne, less than half of its troops were left. In the end, the entire operation had to be given up.

"Appoint Iida, Mandalay must leave at least one division of troops." Teruchi Suichi finally decided to continue the attack and rescue Watanabe. In order to deal with the possible dangerous situation in the future, Teruchi Suichi summoned the 46th and 38th divisions from the troops preparing to attack the East Indies and urgently transported them to Myanmar, and at the same time asked Tokyo to increase the strength of the Southern Army and at least five divisions.

Tanaka Shinichi delayed a long time to resume the attack, and the troops attacking north were missing the 35th Division. Given that the 35th Division suffered too much loss, Iida decided to leave it in Mandalay to repair it, and the 86th Regiment in Maudanjin was urgently built.

Half a day was not long, but it was enough for the entire battle situation. The New Eighth Army built fortifications in the Moya Valley, while the Lurui Mountain One-Office Brigade retreated directly to Mount Papani.

The situation in Yu Chengwan eased, and Zhuang Jihua began to devote all his energy to the annihilation of Watanabe. After the 58th Army devoted all his strength to the attack, Watanabe could no longer maintain the integrity of the front. After a day of hard fighting, the Ao Division and the Gang Division finally broke through from the junction of the 22nd Division and the 56th Division, and quickly split the 22nd Division and the 56th Division.

Oda Katsukai sat weakly under a big tree that had been blown up. Even from the remaining stumps, it can be seen that this is a big tree that has been around for hundreds of years. The sound of cannons and gunfires are getting closer and closer, and only the chief of staff, the communications department head and several guards are left, and the others are all engaged in front-line combat.

Before the Chief of Staff had finished speaking, Ota shook his head. The Chief of Staff knew why, and they could no longer find reinforcements. Watanabe was unable to take care of himself now. The two regiments below have been divided and surrounded. The total number of the entire division was less than 5,000, at least one-third of them were wounded.

The squadron's shouts were getting closer and closer, and the cannons had stopped, leaving only the explosion of rockets. Ota knew that this was a Chinese worried about accidental injury, so he stopped firing the cannons, and only used close-fire firepower to eliminate the Japanese firepower points one by one. But Ota knew that there were no more bullets in the chambers of these machine gun grenade launchers, and the last ammunition they fired.

"Long live the Emperor!"

With the shouting, an explosion came. None of the officers present even turned their heads slightly, and then a few more sounds of long live. After each time, an explosion sounded. Ota sighed softly, knowing that the wounded chose to commit suicide.

Looking at the afternoon sun, Ota probably could not wait for the night. He could not blame his soldiers. They had tried their best. In the absence of food and ammunition, they had been holding on for six days, which was enough to make him proud.

Another sound of "Long live the Emperor" came from the newspaper phone, followed by a crisp gunshot. The Chief of Staff said in despair: "It's Captain Sakiyo United."

Ota stood up, as if he had put down a thousand pounds of weight: "It's my turn."

The adjutant spread a white cloth under the tree. Oda Katsukai sat on the white cloth, unbuttoned his military uniform, exposed his somewhat shriveled belly, and pulled out the ribs. He inserted it into his stomach, and the huge pain caused a large bead of sweat to gush out from his forehead. The adjutant waved his knife and cut off his head, then pulled out his pistol and shot it in his temple.

"Appointment, each unit can break through on its own." The Chief of Staff issued the last order. With this order, the organized resistance of the 22nd Division completely collapsed.

"Pai Pa"

The officers of the division headquarters shot and committed suicide.

After receiving Oda's farewell call, Watanabe did not speak. He was nervously calculating that after the 22nd Division was destroyed, the squadron would be able to siege his 56th Division with all its strength, and there would be more troops to block Tanaka Shinichi's reinforcements, so the division would have no hope of rescuing the siege.

"Your Excellency, what should we do?" The Chief of Staff Takeda's desperate look showed that he had seen through the entire battle situation.

"It is impossible for the entire division to break out," Watanabe said slowly. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the direction of the shell explosion before continuing: "Only breaking out in dispersed ways, but in this case, most of the soldiers will be destroyed by the Chinese people. Moreover, this is a jungle, and even if you walk out of the encirclement of the Chinese people, it will be difficult to get out of the jungle."

"Then" Takeda was a little at a loss. "It's a day to delay it. Tell the soldiers that it's time to sacrifice themselves for the empire, fight bravely to kill the enemy, and see you at Yasukuni Shrine." Watanabe's expression was extremely resolute.

"But" Takeda still did not give up. Watanabe interrupted his words: "Once the Chinese annihilate our army, the entire Myanmar war situation will be under their control. General Tanaka only has four divisions. Once the British counterattack from the west and the Chinese attack from the north, the Imperial Army may have to withdraw from Myanmar. We stand here to win time for the Imperial Army to defend Myanmar."

Takeuchi was speechless. He hoped that Watanabe would order the troops to break through the siege. He did not believe that in the jungle, the Chinese people's encirclement was so tight that some people could run out.

By the evening, the guns and cannons in the direction of the 22nd Division gradually subsided, and the squadron's fierce attack stopped. They were tightening the encirclement in an orderly manner and preparing to launch the final blow tomorrow.
