Xu Dalong planned to fight with these Japanese troops. After repelling the Japanese breakout, he ordered the troops to rest and reorganize, and the battlefield became quiet again.
The morale of the Japanese officers and soldiers was dampened due to the failure of the breakout operation. At least the battlefield in front of them was quiet, and they thought they could have a good rest.
Unfortunately, not long after they were happy, those annoying loudspeakers started broadcasting again, and the content of the broadcast was still the same, which made the officers and soldiers extremely irritated, and their morale gradually weakened little by little.
At dawn, the officers and soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Army started eating again, and the aroma wafted to the Japanese positions. The officers and soldiers of the Japanese Army were hungry and felt even more uncomfortable.
Those annoying loudspeakers are still broadcasting, but today there are a little more tricks, adding something new to the boring content.
Someone shouted: "Today's breakfast includes vinegar cabbage, fragrant braised pork, white rice, and hot egg drop and spinach soup. Japanese officers and soldiers, do you want to eat it? Come out and surrender if you want to eat it.
."
The Japanese army did not break out during the day, and the anti-Japanese armed forces were very quiet. Only the loudspeakers continued to broadcast, and when they had a meal, they would announce the names of the dishes to stimulate the hungry Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese commander was very depressed and sent another telegram to Chiba Xunichi asking for tactical guidance, hoping that reinforcements could come to rescue them.
Chiba Xunyi himself did not have enough troops, and the only ones he could use were the engineering regiment and the heavy baggage regiment.
He knew the strength of the Mawushan guerrillas and the 358th Brigade. If the troops were sent there, not only would they not be able to rescue the 81st Regiment, but they would also be involved.
Chiba Xunyi asked the Japanese 108th Division for help. At this time, the commander of the 108th Division Kondo Division could only use the 215th Brigade. He also knew the strength of the Mawushan guerrillas and the 358th Brigade, especially the 215th Brigade.
In the past, they went to Guancheng County and encountered the Mawushan guerrillas on the road. They suffered heavy losses, and the Mawushan guerrillas were not strong at that time.
There is no way for them to get over now, and if they do, they will only lose it in vain.
Kondo Division Commander despises Chiba Xunichi very much. This guy is a loser. He always asks him to send troops for reinforcements. The 215th Brigade went to Lingao City not long ago and has just returned. It has not been long.
Kondo Division Leader believed that Chiba Xunyi was like mud that could not hold up the wall, so he directly rejected his request.
Chiba found a way to directly send a telegram to the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, for help. However, Yoshio Shinozuka was beyond reach. The only one who could provide long-distance support was the Second Air Force of the Air Force. Unfortunately, he could not count on it now.
.
He had no choice but to let Qianye Xunyi find a way on his own.
Chiba Xunyi ordered Yan Guiwu to go for reinforcements. Yan Guiwu cried to him, saying that they provided cover for the 81st Regiment and suffered a heavy blow from the Mawushan guerrillas. They suffered heavy casualties and were currently unable to provide reinforcements.
Qianye Xunyi originally thought that these puppet troops could not be counted on, but when he saw that Yan Guiwu did not dare to go for reinforcements, he had to give up.
Up to now, the Japanese 81st Regiment is a turtle in a urn with no possibility of escape.
In the evening of this day, the 81st Wing finally got some good news. It started to rain lightly in the sky. Although it stopped after a short time, the sky was still gloomy. At midnight, the sky was still so cloudy that it was hard to see even one's fingers.
It gave hope for the Japanese army to break out of the encirclement.
After several battles, there were originally more than 2,900 Japanese troops, but now only more than 1,700 remained, including more than 200 wounded.
The Japanese commander knew that this was his last chance. He took advantage of the darkness to gather the remaining officers and soldiers and personally made an impassioned mobilization to them.
It must be said that the Japanese army's fighting will is very tenacious. Although their physical strength is very weak and they don't have much ammunition in their hands, they still maintain considerable morale.
They all knew that this was their last chance to break through, so they all cheered up and, under the command of the officers, went all out to prepare for a breakout from the east.
The Japanese army is a very cruel army. The lightly wounded soldiers endured the pain and broke through with the main force. The seriously wounded soldiers were left where they were. Each of them held a grenade in their hands, ready to rush forward.
The enemy troops perished together.
The Japanese officers and soldiers quietly moved towards the enemy's position until they were less than 100 meters away from the enemy's forward position, but the enemy still didn't notice. The Japanese officers and soldiers were very happy, so they quickened their pace.
Xu Dalong knew that the Japanese army would fight tooth and nail to break through tonight, so he asked the troops to keep their eyes open tonight and maintain a high degree of alertness. Although the Japanese army's movements were light, they would inevitably make noises due to their large numbers.
Just when the Japanese army was about 70 to 80 meters away from the forward position, the sentry heard the sound of Japanese army movement, so he fired an alarm and shouted loudly.
When the officers and soldiers heard the gunfire, they immediately lit torches and threw them forward.
A large number of torches were scattered on the forward position, and the headlights of armored vehicles and tanks were also shining on them, clearly exposing the figures of the Japanese officers and soldiers rushing over.
The officers and soldiers who had been prepared for the battle immediately opened fire violently at the Japanese troops.
Since he did not know in advance which direction the Japanese army would choose to break out, Xu Dalong had prepared a fast mobile force in advance, including a motorcycle squadron led by Wang Pao, two infantry squadrons carried by trucks, and three cavalry squadrons. After the battle started,
, they immediately rushed to reinforce.
The Japanese army fought tooth and nail. Regardless of casualties, they tried their best to attack forward and finally captured the first trench of the guerrillas. They did not stop at all and continued to rush towards the second trench.
Guarding here were two infantry squadrons led by Zhao Daman. Seeing that the Japanese army had breached the first trench, he was very angry and ordered his officers and soldiers to strictly guard the second trench and fire fiercely at the Japanese army.
After all, it was dark, and the Japanese troops fought hard and rushed to the front of the second trench.
Zhao Daman became anxious and led his soldiers with bayonets in hand, jumped out of the trench and started a hand-to-hand fight with the Japanese army.
Visibility was extremely low at night. In order to be able to distinguish their targets clearly at night, the guerrillas had already wrapped white towels on their left arms. The Japanese army was not stupid either. In order to prevent accidental injuries, they wrapped white cloths on their heads. The two sides based this on each other.
Characteristics, they started a desperate fight in the dark.
The battle was very fierce. In order to prevent the target from being exposed, the officers and soldiers of both the enemy and ours fought silently without making a sound. Some people were stabbed and screamed in agony.
The Japanese army went all out to break out in this direction, and in a short period of time they had a considerable numerical advantage. Zhao Daman and others could be said to be at a disadvantage. They could not withstand the Japanese attack. A large number of Japanese troops broke through the second trench and continued to charge forward.
.
Li Jinzhu led the county brigade to provide logistical support and help dig trenches, but they did not engage in battle.
At this moment, Li Jinzhu saw the Japanese army breaking out in their direction. Without waiting for Xu Dalong's order, he led the members of the county brigade and joined the battle. They struggled with the Japanese army and blocked the Japanese army in the third trench.
It is also in front of the last trench.
A captain of the Japanese army who was rushing in front was so anxious when he saw this scene that he couldn't help shouting and urging the soldiers to rush forward. As a result, his shout exposed his target, and five or six county brigade members moved towards him.
He stabbed randomly, and the Japanese captain was stabbed several times and fell to the ground.
Seeing that the Japanese commander was about to pass through the enemy's position, he couldn't care so much and shouted sternly: "Warriors of the Yellow Army, the enemy's final blockade is in front of us. As long as we rush out, we will win. Warriors rush
ah."
In order to increase their momentum, the Japanese officers and soldiers shouted in unison and charged forward bravely.
Just when the county brigade couldn't stand it any longer, the rapid mobile unit finally arrived.
It was too dark, and the officers and soldiers from both sides were mixed together. Wang Pao and others could not fire, so they rushed forward and started hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army.
At this time, the forces of the enemy and ours were basically equal. The Japanese officers and soldiers had not eaten for almost two days, and they had gone through fierce fighting, and their physical strength could no longer support them.
Wang Pao and others had just arrived, full of vigor and vigor, and they fought and charged fiercely. Finally, the Japanese army could no longer resist and was forced to withdraw.
This brutal battle resulted in heavy casualties on both sides. More than 200 county team members and guerrillas died, and even Zhao Daman and Wang Pao suffered stab wounds.
The casualties of the Japanese army were even more severe. During the previous fire attack, the Japanese army lost more than 300 people, and they also lost more than 300 people in hand-to-hand combat. Today, the Japanese army only has 1,000 people left, of which more than 200 are still wounded.
, basically no ammunition in hand, unable to break out.
At dawn, Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong rushed over. They all had opinions about Xu Dalong and believed that this Japanese army should be annihilated directly instead of wasting people and money and sacrificing many anti-Japanese soldiers.
The officers and soldiers of the guerrillas also began to be a little dissatisfied. They also believed that if the Japanese army had been eliminated earlier, there would be no need to cause the heavy casualties last night.
To be honest, Xu Dalong felt very sad when he saw such heavy casualties among the guerrillas and county brigade members. However, he was not swayed by this and was determined to carry out his intentions to the end.
