On the battlefield, there was a lot of fighting, and occasionally bursts of gunshots were heard, and then the shouts of killing were heard again.
The number of people on both sides who can stand is decreasing sharply.
The ground beneath his feet began to become wet and soft, soaked with blood.
Lei Dingtian was already covered in blood, and even his teeth were red.
It has been more than an hour, and the battle is not over yet. Now, he does not know how many of his men are still standing. He only knows that the Japanese have not all been killed yet.
As for the Japanese, their eyes were red with murder, and their ferocity was completely aroused.
Both sides seemed to be fighting fiercely.
…
"The hotel is just in front! I have heard gunshots! I also saw the Japs fighting with our brothers! Hand-to-hand fighting! Heavy casualties!" An observer held a telescope and kept reporting what he saw.
thing.
Leng Yan's face darkened, and he also picked up the telescope. When he saw it, he saw bright red and fighting everywhere. "Speed up! Come on! Kill the Japanese!"
"yes!"
Soon, the soldiers on Leng Yan's side also quickly joined the battle.
"Your Excellency, Captain, the Chinese reinforcements have arrived!"
"Nani? Reinforcements?" the Japanese commander gritted his teeth, "How are the battles on the other three sides going? If this continues, we will all be crushed here!"
"Hey, the battle hasn't been resolved yet!"
"Baga! Telegraph them to resolve the battle as soon as possible and encircle our troops! The Chinese reinforcements have come, and I want them to stay here!"
"Hi!"
The Japanese commander looked at the situation on the battlefield with dizzy eyes. He led more than 20,000 soldiers. As a result, the ambush failed and he was forced into a hand-to-hand fight!
Forget about hand-to-hand combat, after all, they have the advantage in numbers! But now, their casualties are almost half! The ground under their feet is also stained red with blood! This is the first time he has seen the brutality of the war. They clearly fought.
It's an ambush!
"Kill me!"
…
Leng Yan's troops, who had just joined the battlefield, were obviously a fresh force. When they encountered the Japs, they opened fire one after another. In their independent division, they did not have to tell the Japs any bushido rules.
"Brigadier, Brigadier Leng and his support are here!"
"Really?" There was desolation in Lei Dingtian's eyes. His brigade was probably going to be crippled. I don't know how many brothers were lost on the battlefield today. But if he didn't do this, he would be waiting to be beaten by the Japanese.
bullets and artillery fire. Only by rushing up, the Japanese machine guns have nowhere to use, can we reduce our vulnerability to being ambushed.
"Give it to me, kill me hard!"
"yes!"
After more than an hour, most of Lei Dingtian's soldiers were exhausted, and of course the Japanese too, so the reinforcements harvested the Japanese quite smoothly.
…
"Your Excellency, Captain, we must retreat! The warriors are exhausted. Now the Chinese reinforcements have arrived. If we don't retreat, we will all be lost here!" A major sergeant ran to the Japanese colonel in panic.
"Then what?" There was indifference in the eyes of the Japanese colonel. He could tell that if he dared to take this remnant army back, then what awaited him would be a military court! On the contrary, if he died here, he would still be waiting for him.
Can be designated as a warrior.
"Your Excellency, Captain?" The Japanese Major panicked, because there was not much fluctuation in the eyes of the Japanese Colonel. Such an expression...
"Tell the warriors that the time has come to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor! There are countless warriors in the empire! However, if we kill one soldier of the independent division, we will lose one! Only by killing the Chinese people can we have hope of returning alive!"
The Japanese commander said calmly, without any emotion, because he had seen clearly that there were very few troops left on the battlefield, and the sound of gunfire gradually came from far away to near.
He knew very well that the reinforcements of the Independent Division had arrived, and they had no chance. The so-called ambush before was just a dream, and in the end, it cost the lives of tens of thousands of their warriors. "Your Majesty, Chief of Staff, I'm sorry.
Ah, we failed!"
…
"You kid, are you okay?" Leng Yan looked at the bloody man in front of him, looked at the other bloody men next to him, and shook his head helplessly, "Why don't you wait for us to come to support you? You have to rush over by yourself.
?”
Lei Dingtian closed his eyes, "Because, we have been fighting too smoothly. Without seeing real blood, the soldiers will never be able to grow!"
"So, this is your growth?" Leng Yan couldn't believe it. In this hand-to-hand battle, the number of people lost by the Second Preparatory Brigade was probably close to tens of thousands! "You are kidding the soldiers!"
"Commander Leng, it's useless. Even if we stay where we are and wait for reinforcements, the Japanese machine guns and artillery won't give us a chance." A colonel spoke, the commander of a regiment under Lei Dingtian.
Leng Yan actually knew it very well, but he was very angry with so many battle losses! "Come here, kill all the Japanese! Leave no one behind!"
"yes!"
As soon as the soldiers from Leng Yan's side joined, the battlefield was almost over. Originally, this hand-to-hand combat was already almost over. But Leng Yan just led people to use bullets to speed up the process.
About half an hour later, "Brigadier, the battle is over! All the Japs have been wiped out. Judging from the battle loss ratio, Brigadier Lei and the others have killed at least two-thirds of the Japs!"
Leng Yan's heart twitched. There were nearly 20,000 Japs here, and Lei Dingtian actually killed so many of them. The battle losses on Lei Dingtian's side...
"On Brigadier Lei's side, there are less than a thousand brothers who are still standing."
"You idiot!" Leng Yan punched Lei Dingtian. The independent division had never suffered such heavy losses in battle!
"Stop fighting." Lei Dingtian smiled stupidly, "There are still Japs on the other three sides! You can let them take care of the Japs on the other three sides. I'm tired."
"Madman!" Leng Yan had no choice but to say, "Go and cooperate with the brothers from the second reserve brigade to deal with the Japs in the north! Brothers from the tank regiment will come together!"
"yes!"
Leng Yan and others deduced that the Japs in the north should be transferred from Xuzhou City. As long as they captured these Japs, Xuzhou would be within easy reach.
In other words, Tangshan should soon get Xuzhou.

Kwantung Army Headquarters.
"Yoshimoto-kun, are there any battle reports from the front?" Umezu Yoshijiro looked at Yoshimoto Seiichi who knocked on the door and asked, "How is the plan being implemented?"
Yoshimoto Seiichi held the telegram in his hand, which seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, "Your Excellency, Commander, we have failed."
"Failed?" Umezu Yoshijiro said in disbelief, "How is it possible? Although the plan is simple, relatively speaking, it shouldn't fail, right?"
"Hey, but this is a last-minute telegram from Colonel Shiromoto, who is responsible for besieging the Chinese from the east. The Chinese did not stay in the ambush circle, but quickly rushed towards them under the cover of artillery fire.
We fought hand-to-hand combat with 20,000 people in our position with 10,000 people!" Yoshimoto Sadai said in pain as he closed his eyes.
