The news quickly reached Boss Liu's headquarters. Boss Liu was deeply shocked after receiving the news.

"The little devil actually gave up on breaking out?"

"yes!"

"According to Captain Li's report, the vanguard troops of the Japanese who entered Wujiagou have basically been wiped out."

"The rest of the defeated Japanese troops did not attack Wujiagou directly in an attempt to break out from Wujiagou. Instead, they seized favorable terrain on the spot and wanted to continue to resist."

After hearing this, Boss Liu thought for a while and said with a smile: "It seems that this Hashimoto group is quite capable. He knows that at this time, there is no chance to break out, so he might as well take advantage of the danger and fight with us."

"It's a pity that he thought he might be able to gain a chance of survival this way, but we couldn't leave any chance for them."

"We must take this opportunity to annihilate them all. Only in this way can we achieve a complete victory in this counter-mopping operation."

"If we win this battle, there will be no more fighting in the southern Hebei region in the short term, and we can also use this battle to support friendly forces in other areas."

"So no matter what, we must win this battle."

"Immediately order all troops to speed up and launch attacks from all directions according to the original plan, striving to completely eliminate the remaining enemies in the encirclement in the shortest possible time."

"yes!"

A staff officer nearby responded quickly and turned around to convey the order.

Under the personal command of Boss Liu, the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the nearby area launched an all-out general attack on the little Japanese in the encirclement.

The little Japanese who suffered heavy casualties could only rely on the available terrain to resist, but this resistance was just a desperate struggle.

…

"Report...to your Excellency, the division commander, the enemy's offensive is too fierce, and more and more enemy troops are surrounding us."

"Reporting to the division commander, the imperial army responsible for breaking up the rear in the direction of Sanling has been basically destroyed."

Hashimoto Gun also felt a little panicked, and quickly asked: "How many troops do we have left now?"

A Japanese staff officer replied: "Your Excellency, the division commander, we have less than 3,000 people left now."

When Hashimoto heard this, his vision went dark and he almost fainted.

The old devil thought for a while, and then ordered: "Immediately pass on the order and order all the troops to gather their forces, gather all the troops together, shrink the defense line, and resist their attack."

"Hai!"

A Japanese officer next to him responded respectfully and turned around to convey the order.

Faced with this situation, Hashimoto-gun, an old devil, has no choice.

Now he can only shrink the defense line as much as possible and gather the few remaining troops together, so as to offset the Eighth Route Army's strength advantage as much as possible.

No matter how many troops the Eighth Route Army has, the area is too small and they can't deploy at all. In this way, they can take this opportunity to hold on for a while longer.

Hashimoto Gun also knows that this time they are going to be completely done. Now he just hopes to be able to hold on for a while, and that's enough.

At this time, a Japanese officer came over and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, the Division Commander, Your Excellency the Commander has sent a telegram again to inquire about the situation of the battle."

Hashimoto asked: "How long has it been since you reported the battle situation to the headquarters?"

A Japanese officer replied: "Almost half an hour."

Hashimoto nodded slightly and said: "No wonder the Commander asked again. It seems that the Commander is also paying attention to our battle situation. He has even been waiting for news from us."

"Hai!"

The Japanese officer said: "Then how should we reply?"

Hashimoto-gun sneered and said: "It's already this time, is it still necessary to lie?"

"Report it truthfully! Just say that we were ambushed by the enemy again in Wujiagou. The breakout has failed. We can only continue to defend and fight the enemy to the death until everything is broken."

A Japanese colonel persuaded: "Your Excellency, division commander, do you really want to send it like this? Wouldn't it become a farewell telegram?"

Hashimoto asked: "Is there any difference? Just send it like this."

"We don't have to worry about anything else now. All we can do is go all out to resist the enemy's attack. Apart from that, we can't do anything at all."

"Hai!"

The Japanese officer responded, turned around and left.

Soon the telegram from the Hashimoto Group was sent to the headquarters of the Japanese in Peiping.

A Japanese officer took a telegram and hurried to Okamura Neiji.

"Reporting to your Excellency, Commander, Hashimoto Division Commander has called back!"

Okamura Neiji quickly asked: "How is the situation?"

The Japanese officer replied: "His Excellency, the commander of the Hashimoto Division, reported that they were ambushed by the enemy again near Wujiagou and the breakout failed."

"Currently, the troops are once again under siege by the enemy. The warriors of the Imperial Army are doing their best to resist the enemy's attack. Your Excellency, the commander of the Hashimoto Division, has issued the Yusui combat order."

"Even if all the efforts are made to pieces, these idiots must pay the price."

When Neiji Okamura heard this, his face changed with fright. He stepped forward and snatched the telegram.

After reading it carefully and confirming the contents of the telegram, Okamura Neiji looked back at the sand table again, and said in a daze: "It is indeed Wujiagou. I knew it might be such a result."

Gangcun Ningji had indeed guessed this before. He guessed that there might be an ambush in the direction of Wujiagou.

But when that time comes, Hashimoto Group and others have no other choice.

That's why they could only take the Wujiagou road, and they couldn't break out of the encirclement on other roads.

Kasahara Yukio also looked ugly at this moment, as if his dead father, lowered his head and said: "In this way, Hashimoto Division will be in danger. It is already night, and we can no longer provide them with air support. Now we can only

It’s up to them.”

Okamura Neiji sighed deeply and said: "When things have developed to this situation, there is basically no suspense anymore. With the combat effectiveness of Tubal Road, and they have been prepared for it."

"The Hashimoto Division has suffered heavy losses now, and I'm afraid there aren't many people left. As a result, they can't hold on until dawn no matter what. What's more, even if they hold on until dawn, what can they do?"

"Even if we mobilize reinforcements, we won't be able to arrive before dawn."

"After daybreak, even if air support can be provided, it will be impossible to rescue Hashimoto's division."

"We couldn't break out during the day today, let alone tomorrow?"
