On October 20, the twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China, Su Tong commanded an army of 100,000 and began to pursue the 25th and 36th divisions of the Japanese army outside Tongliao City. The Japanese army fought desperately under the cover of the rear guard.
Retreat towards Shilipu.
On the Shilipu position, under the cover of the armored regiment that had just arrived, Zheng Xiaoyou commanded two battalions of less than a thousand troops to launch a counterattack against the Japanese Army's 40th Regiment. Okubo Shunjiro's leg was also injured.
Wounded, he was still directing the remaining Japanese troops of less than 2,000 people to retreat.
"Say Boom"
A high-explosive bomb exploded next to Colonel Okubo Shunjiro. Several guards around Okubo Shunjiro fell down trying to protect him.
"That's enough, don't retreat with me as a burden anymore, you can retreat by yourselves." Okubo Shunjiro pushed aside several guards around him, pulled out his command sword and used it as a crutch to support his body and said with difficulty.
"Your Majesty Ozusaku, your war horse is here, please mount it." A guard led Okubo Shunjiro's white war horse.
Okubo Shunjiro shook his head, "You can all retreat, but I can't. Someone has to be responsible for this failure. You all can leave."
"Go ahead"
A group of Chinese soldiers are rushing towards Okubo Shunjiro. The roaring machine guns in their hands are roaring. The shouts and gunshots are getting louder and denser. It is obvious that the encirclement is getting smaller and smaller.
.
Seeing the Japanese soldiers being swept away and the roar getting louder and louder, Okubo Shunjiro hung all the two grenades on his horse's neck with a heavy heart, and "swish" the two fuses
Pulling it open, white smoke emitted from both grenades at the same time, and the fuse squeaked. He hugged the horse's neck, only to hear a loud noise, the horse's head disappeared, and Okubo Shunjiro also
Exploded to pieces with blood and flesh flying everywhere
Just as Okubo Shunjiro's regiment was defeated, Zheng Xiaoyou was about to take a breath when someone ran over and reported: "Sir, two more regiments of Japanese reinforcements are coming up from behind."
"Quick, retreat to the position, the Japanese army is coming." Zheng Xiaoyou roared.
After listening to the order, the soldiers quickly retreated to the rear of the position. Not far from the front, two miles away, Muranaka Kajiro and Yamaoka Michio were also rushing towards Shilipu.
"Report, our troops encountered the remnants of the 40th Regiment in front. They are retreating. According to their reports, His Excellency Daisaku Okubo Shunjiro has died fighting for the Emperor." The signal soldier from the front came to report.
"Baga, this Okubo Shunjiro hasn't captured the Chinese position yet, how could he die so easily?" Yamaoka Michio shouted angrily.
"Well, there is no use blaming the dead. Let's think about how to capture Shilipu." Murakajiro Kajiro was not in the mood to scold the dead. He asked with a sullen face: "How many pieces of that are left in Shilipu now?"
garrison"
"Because it's already dark, we don't know much about the situation in Shilipu." The communications soldier stammered: "But according to the soldiers of the 40th Regiment who retreated, another armored regiment came from the China defenders this afternoon.
, now that they have firmly controlled Shilipu, our army will not be able to attack it at all."
"Nani can't attack," Kajiro Muraka shouted: "Don't blame your incompetence on others' ignorance. You immediately order the 223rd and 224th Regiments to attack the positions on both sides of Shilipu. If the attack
If we don’t come down, we will all die here.”
"Hi"
"Dong dong dong dong"
The heavy M2 Browning heavy machine gun began to sound on Ren Ran's position again. At this time, there were no longer two or three kittens and puppies on Ren Ran's position. With the addition of the armored regiment, their position was again
With the help of hundreds of infantry and dozens of tanks and armored vehicles.
With the help of this force and the supplement of ammunition, the firepower advantage that Su Tong had always emphasized was once again reflected. Facing the attacks of the two entire regiments, Zheng Xiaoyou and Ren Ran relied on their powerful firepower but did not fall behind at all.
The wind was still blowing loudly and vividly.
The originally silent and dark night was now illuminated red by the firelight. Seeing the wounded soldiers being carried out one after another, the face of Kajiro Muraka who was standing behind to watch the battle became increasingly ugly. The two regiments attacked for five hours.
, but there is no progress at all. If we wait until dawn and the other side's air force is dispatched, more than ten thousand of us will die without a burial place.
Gritting his teeth, Muranaka Kajiro ordered: "Order the artillery regiment to fire on the opponent's position immediately,"
"Fire artillery." After hearing this order, even Yamaoka Michio was startled. It was at night and there was no way to observe the results of the artillery fire. It was easy to hurt one of his own people.
"Yes, fire the artillery, all in order to rush out. Without artillery support, we will not be able to tear apart the opponent's defense line, so sacrifice is necessary." Muranaka Kajiro's voice revealed a sense of madness.
"Okay." Seeing Muranaka Kajiro's resolute attitude, Yamaoka Michio had no choice but to acquiesce.
"fire"
"fire"
Artillery pieces poured shells towards the Shilipu position, causing loud noises on the position.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" A group of convoys outside Tongliao City quickly rushed towards Shilipu.
At this time, the highway outside Tongliao City was also in chaos. Su Tong commanded the army and scattered the Japanese troops who stayed in the city. Some of the scattered Japanese soldiers who were left alone were still resisting desperately, and some were still fighting.
But they wanted to retreat in the direction of the retreat of the large troops. The two sides became a mess, and illumination bombs were fired into the sky by the artillery, illuminating the night sky as if it were daytime.
"Wang Dayong, Peng Zeyuan, now that the road to the outside of the city has been opened, I order you to crawl to Shilipu to intercept the Japanese army no matter what method you use. Do you understand? If the Japanese army escapes, I will
You are the only ones asking." Su Tong's voice came from the crack of the door in the headquarters. The entire headquarters was in chaos. The city was full of scattered Chinese troops and Japanese troops mixed together. Now
The only troops that could be assembled in the shortest time were the 5th and 10th Infantry Divisions, so Su Tong had no choice but to give them the task of pursuing the Japanese army.
When it was almost dawn, Su Tong, who had not closed his eyes for several days, finally couldn't help but fell into a deep sleep.
Su Tong had a dream while he was sleeping. He dreamed that he was still working in the original factory, he also dreamed that he returned to his hometown, and his mother made him his favorite pickled fish.
"Sir, sir, we have all the Japanese surrounded." At this time, a loud and urgent voice roared, and Su Tong recognized it as Wang Qinglong's voice.
"Commander Wang, please speak softly. The commander has not slept for three days. He just fell asleep." Next to him was the voice of Staff Officer Wang.
Su Tong slowly opened his eyes and found that he was covered with a blanket. Recalling the scene in his dream, Su Tong sighed secretly. It seems that he still can't forget the past.
Wiping the liquid from the corner of his eyes, he stretched and said lazily to Wang Qinglong: "Why, we're surrounded?"
Wang Qinglong immediately walked over quickly and said with a smile, "Report to Commander Su, at around five o'clock this morning, we surrounded the Japanese 25th and 36th Divisions under Shilipu. The Japanese troops in the city
The cleanup is almost complete."
Su Tong took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and gave it to Wang Qinglong with a smile and said, "Then why are you here? You're not here to make a living, right?"
Wang Qinglong diligently took out a lighter and lit it for Su Tong. He licked his smile and said, "Of course not. I just saw that the war here is about to end. Do you think you can transfer our division to Liaoyuan?"
Su Tong took a deep drag on his cigarette. The orange-red cigarette butts and smoke made his face flicker. After thinking about it, Su Tong nodded, "You can go, but you are not going to Liaoyuan, but with Shi."
The first division is going to Zhangwu. There are only twenty-sixth division in the direction of Zhangwu. The strength is too weak. You and Zhang Lengmo will go to Zhangwu immediately today for reinforcements."
"yes"
When Wang Qinglong heard this, he found out that Liaoyuan had not gone to Liaoyuan and was sent to Zhangwu instead. He weakly saluted before slowly walking out.
After Wang Qinglong left, Su Tong thought for a while and ordered, "Order Hu Lian, Wang Dayong and all the troops to end the battle against Shilipu before noon today, and then all the troops will quickly move towards Liaoyuan."
"yes"
Su Tong looked at Liaoyuan City on the map, thinking maliciously in his heart, Umezu Yoshijiro, I'm going to poke your anus, I'll see if you're still in a hurry, if you dare to steal Vladivostok, I'll play with you to the end.
At this time, the massacre below Shilipu was already overwhelming. Su Tong commanded four infantry divisions and one armored division with nearly 100,000 people. After a night of fierce fighting, more than 16,000 Japanese regiments who had escaped from Tongliao were surrounded in Shilipu.
Covering an area of less than three square kilometers.
Under the protection of a group of guards, Kajiro Muraka and Michio Yamaoka desperately broke out to the east. At this time, they no longer remembered the direction. They only knew that east, east was the direction of Liaoyuan.
"Da da da"
A string of stray bullets hit Muranaka Kajiro's chest. Muranaka Kajiro, who was running desperately, fell to the ground like a heavy sack.
Yamaoka Michitake took Muranaka Kajiro's hand and said, "Murunaka-kun, come with me quickly."
However, Kajiro Muraka shook his head and said with difficulty: "Yamaoka-kun, I can't leave anymore, hurry up"
Yamaoka Michio gritted his teeth, pulled out his command knife, stabbed Muranaka Kajiro in the chest, and cut off one of his ears, and whispered: "Goodbye, Muranaka-kun."
After doing all this, Yamagang Daowu found a group of Chahar's troops rushing towards him from a distance. He ignored his sorrow and immediately ran towards the east with more than a dozen guards.
At 12 noon, the Shilipu annihilation battle officially ended. Except for a very small number of Japanese troops, Lieutenant General Yamaoka Michio, commander of the 25th Division, the 25th and 36th Japanese troops, including Lieutenant General Kajiro Muranaka,
The division's 30,000-strong army had been officially annihilated by the 100,000-strong army led by Su Tong.
