"Report, the Japanese 48th Division has entered the Lingbei Valley!"
Su Rui and Liang Zhi, who were sitting on stools drinking water, looked at each other, nodded and said: "Order Lin Shiqian to tie up your pockets, we are going to make dumplings today!"
"yes!"
"Dong dong dong..."
Shining lights flashed in the sky. Hundreds of fighter planes were fighting in the sky above the Lingbei Valley. From time to time, fighter planes fell from the sky. On the ground, there were countless officers and soldiers fighting desperately, and from time to time, large-caliber artillery shells fell.
Craters were blasted on the ground.
Douhashi Yongyi sat in a temporarily dug bomb-proof cave, listening to the explosions that sounded around him from time to time with a dull expression. He only had one thought in his mind, and that was that he had been fooled!
Yes, I was fooled.
Just half an hour ago, when Tuqiao Yongyi led a team of nearly 7,000 people including the Second Taiwan Infantry Regiment and Mountain Artillery Regiment as well as engineers, baggage regiments, communications teams, and health teams, they entered the Lingbei Valley in a mighty manner.
, the brigade responsible for tail cover reported that a large number of Chinese troops were found behind, and they had divided into three directions and surrounded them from behind.
Douhashi Yongyi, who knew something was wrong, immediately ordered the rear team to change to the front team, and tried to break out before the enemy formed an encirclement. However, the Chinese army behind was not only large in number, but also almost all equipped with automatic or semi-automatic weapons, which was very powerful.
The firepower immediately knocked down a large area of the Nara brigade responsible for the charge.
The Nara Battalion is an elite brigade directly affiliated with the division headquarters. It is also one of the few local combat units in the 48th Division. It has a very tenacious fighting will. Therefore, although the front squadron responsible for the charge has been completely lost, the rest of the squadron has been completely destroyed.
The captain Yuji Nara still did not let the troops retreat to defend. Instead, he ordered the remaining three brigades to withstand the offensive of the Chinese army in front and never retreat even half a step.
Seeing that the Japanese troops in front were so tenacious and withstood their overwhelming offensive, Lin Shiqian, who was commanding the battle not far away, was slightly surprised and immediately called Liu Guodong, the leader of the 656th Regiment, and ordered:
"Captain Liu, you immediately bring your regiment to fight back the Japs in front, otherwise it will be difficult for us to stop them if the Japanese search team in the valley comes out."
Although the 398th Brigade has nearly 7,000 people, they are all infantry. Although the Japanese search wing is only equipped with thin-skinned tanks, tanks are tanks. Even if the tank is bad, it cannot be charged by unprepared infantry.
Can be stopped.
Liu Guodong naturally understood this truth, and he nodded, "Yes, I understand, please just watch, I will drive these little devils back to the valley within twenty minutes."
After saying that, Liu Guodong ran to the side...
"Kill me... rush out, everyone, rush for me!"
Yuji Nara waved his command sword and drove hundreds of Japanese troops to attack along the road desperately.
The battle has been going on for more than ten minutes, but there is still no progress. The bullets fired from the front seem to be endless. The dense bullets are so heavy that the Japanese army cannot lift their heads.
Just now, a volunteered squadron leader led his squadron to charge towards the Chinese army. In just eight minutes, in this squadron of 180 people, only one soldier who could stand after the charge was left.
Less than eighty people.
Such huge casualties made Yuji Nara feel a sharp pain, but he could not let the troops retreat without permission, otherwise Dohashi Yuuji would never be able to spare him.
Nara Yuuji stared at a pair of blood-red eyes and shouted to the captain of the Third Squadron beside him: "Ozawa-kun, you immediately lead the Third Squadron to continue charging, and you must kill a bloody path!"
"Hai!"
The squadron leader drew his command knife and shouted in a stern voice to the Japanese soldiers beside him: "Kill them!"
"Half a year!"
Usually the Japanese troops were divided into skirmish formations to cover the charge, but today due to time constraints, they did not bother to cooperate and formed a triangular assault formation and charged forward.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Just as the Japanese troops were charging, the hissing sound of shells sliding came over.
"No, it's that person's heavy artillery!"
Before Yuji Nara could give the order to hide.
"Boom boom boom..."
Explosions sounded at the entrance of the valley.
The entire valley entrance was shaken by the explosion of large-caliber artillery shells. The Nara bear hurriedly squatted in a depression and endured the heart-rending roar of the explosion. The low, dark depression was constantly bumping under the powerful shock wave of the shell explosion.
, like a windmill about to be crushed. Piles of powder continued to fall around him, and soon his shoulders were covered with dust.
It took more than ten minutes for the bombardment to stop. Yuji Nara stood up from the depression with difficulty, holding on to the wall. The surrounding area was filled with choking black smoke. He coughed painfully and staggered to the side to look around.
The scenery at the entrance of the valley has been changed beyond recognition after the shelling just now. The originally sparse pine trees next to the hills have been completely blown away after several shellings, revealing the black-red soil and light white tree stubble below. The strong and choking smell
The smoke filled the sky over the entire valley mouth and lingered for a long time, mixed with the faint smell of grease from pine branches.
Most of the dozens of soldiers who had originally gathered around him had fallen, and the surrounding area was in a mess, with screams and screams rising one after another.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Nara Yuji's face was filled with sadness. He knew that his brigade was finished, and soon the Forty-Eighth Division behind him was also finished.
Looking at the dead and wounded soldiers in front of him, Nara Yuji let out a long sigh, took out the Southern-style pistol from his waist, pointed it at his temple tremblingly, and pulled the trigger...
"boom……"
With the sound of a gunshot, Nara Yuji fell heavily to the ground, making a heavy sound.
Following Yuji Nara's suicide, the retreat of the Forty-Eighth Division was also blocked by the Three Hundred Division, and a team of six to seven thousand people was blocked in a narrow valley four to five miles long.
The news that the 48th Division was surrounded quickly reached the headquarters of the 21st Army in Guangzhou. This news undoubtedly gave a blow to Toshiyoshi Ando who was originally waiting for good news.
"Immediately order the 5th and 38th Divisions to advance towards Maoming at full speed, and rescue the 48th Division at all costs!" Ando Rikichi howled on the spot after receiving the telegram.
He couldn't tolerate the fact that a division was surrounded by the Chinese army and was going to be completely annihilated under such a good situation. Well, although this division still has two regiments in Yangchun, the division commander and others
A group of high-ranking officials are now surrounded. If they all die, what is the difference between being completely wiped out!
Ando Toshiyoshi said feebly to the chief of staff, Major General Tanaka Kuichi: "You should contact the base camp immediately and ask them to send a fleet and HNA planes to blast a gap in the China position, otherwise... we will be too late!
"
Major General Tanaka Kuichi knew what Ando Toshiyoshi meant. Now the 48th Division was in danger, but the 5th and 38th Divisions were far away in Jiangmen and Enping. It would take three or four days at the earliest to arrive, and the distant water could not be dissolved.
At this time, the only thing they can hope for is whether the aircraft from the naval fleet cruising near Guangzhou can help them open a bloody path...
The breath of harsh winter hugged the garden. On the stone path in the desolate garden, Emperor Hirohito was pacing slowly and anxiously. His large golden kimono was like a dazzling sun, burning the surroundings uneasily. He
My mood at the moment is just like the weather, it's so cold that I can't breathe.
Just half an hour ago, Hirohito was enjoying Empress Ryoko's tea ceremony. It was quite pleasant to drink steaming tea in the cold winter.
But this mood was soon ruined by a telegram sent from Guangzhou.
"The Forty-eighth Division is surrounded and in danger! The fighter planes of the Army Aviation Group are no longer able to cover the breakout of the Forty-eighth Division. Please send the fighter planes of the Hainan Airlines to provide cover!"
This short paragraph of text completely threw Hirohito's mood into the ice cave. Is another division following the 106th Division going to disappear from the empire's structure?
Hirohito couldn't imagine that if the empire's divisions were eliminated one after another, how many divisions in the empire could withstand such consumption? How can the empire's great cause be accomplished?
"We should transfer this guy Ando Rikichi back to the country!" Hirohito said to himself.
A burst of light footsteps came from behind. He turned around and saw an attendant bowing his head and saluting him, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Minai is here."
Hirohito waved his hand and muttered in a low voice: "I'll come."
When he reappeared, Emperor Hirohito was already in military uniform, sitting on a spacious and magnificent throne. Behind him, there were several ancient and luxurious golden screens, showing the extraordinaryness of the Yamato Emperor. In front of him, the hands of Japanese General Yoneuchi were caressing
Knees, waiting for the emperor's instructions.
"Minai, you must be aware of the matter of the 48th Division. The telegram sent by Rikichi Ando claimed that the 48th Division was in danger and asked us to send HNA fighter planes to cover their breakout. What are you going to do?"
Minai said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have sent the Second Fleet, including the two aircraft carriers Akagi and Kaga, which are cruising near the South China Sea. I believe that with the aircraft on these two aircraft carriers, we can definitely defeat them.
The 48th Division including Lord Dobashi are rescued!"
Although the expression on Minai's face was respectful, Hirohito could still see the flash of pride in his eyes.
Hirohito knew why. It was because the fighter planes of the Army Aviation were completely defeated in the battle with the fighters of the 300th Division for air supremacy. Only less than twenty of the more than sixty fighters dispatched by the 13th Flying Group returned.
It is said that China's losses were only six aircraft. This disparity was enough to make the people from the Air Force dare not even raise their heads when they saw the people from the Hainan Airlines!
Seeing Minai's pretending to be respectful, Hirohito felt a sense of boredom in his heart. He waved his hand and said: "Okay, you will give the order right away. The 48th Division must be rescued!"
"Hai!" (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
