Outside Wangqing City, there was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
When dawn arrived, the gunfire gradually subsided. Under the dim sky, the air was filled with the strong smell of blood and burnt corpses. When Xu Rui arrived with the new group of battalion commanders,
When they were near the city gate, a new group of soldiers had already begun sweeping the battlefield.
The fire in Wangqing City was still burning, turning half of the sky red. Before he could get closer, Xu Rui felt a wave of scorching air coming towards him, burning his hair withered.
The walls of Wangqing City have collapsed in several places, and there are ruins and remnants of the war everywhere.
At the gate of the city, a large area of the ground was covered with corpses of Japanese soldiers. A long thing hung on a big tree that was burnt to black charcoal at the gate of the city. When I got closer, I saw that it was a broken intestine.
Most of the snow at the gate of the city has melted, mixed with the blood of the Japanese, forming a bloody ditch.
Of course, it wasn't just the little devils who died in the battle.
The enemy fought hard despite being trapped, especially in the final stage of the desperate breakout, which caused very heavy casualties to the New Regiment. The sacrificed officers and soldiers of the New Regiment can be seen everywhere on the battlefield.
Under a big tree, a new group of warriors fell there holding a ghost-headed sword. He still maintained the posture before death, with the ghost-headed sword in his hand raised high above his head.
, his chest was full of holes punched by bayonets, and at his feet lay the headless corpses of seven or eight Japanese soldiers.
Seeing this extremely cruel scene, Xu Rui couldn't help but freeze.
Two soldiers came over and carried the veteran who had died, while the remaining soldiers continued to clean the battlefield. When they encountered the corpses of the new regiment of soldiers, they would be carried aside, and when they saw the corpses of the Japanese, they would strike.
Among the corpses of Japanese soldiers scattered everywhere, it is inevitable that there will be cowards who pretended to be dead and tried to get away with it.
"Ah, please don't kill me! Please~~" A Japanese corpse suddenly sat up without any warning, waving his hands and pleading to the officers and soldiers of the new regiment holding bayonets high, regretfully.
However, the officers and soldiers of the new regiment on the opposite side did not react at all. They raised their swords and stabbed the Japanese soldier in the chest.
"Uh~~" The devil snorted and fell to the ground unwillingly.
The veteran stabbed the Japanese to death with a bayonet, but he was still a little worried in his heart and couldn't help but look back at Xu Rui.
Xu Rui turned around and looked elsewhere, pretending not to have seen the scene just now. When the veteran saw this, a cruel smile immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he continued to clean the battlefield with his bayonet.
Soon, the results of the battle were tallied up, and Chen Xuedong reported excitedly: "Commander, after a night of fierce fighting, our army severely damaged the main force of the 48th Division. In this battle, at least more than 8,000 Japanese were eliminated, including
Including the division commander Nakagawa Hiro who killed the Japanese 48th Division, they captured more than 20 mountain cannons of the Japanese artillery, more than 2,000 rifles, and tens of thousands of bullets. Battalion Commander Huang and the others also captured alive the first Taiwanese infantryman outside the west gate.
The co-captain of the alliance is Maeda Zuoguang."
After hearing this, Xu Rui frowned and asked: "There were more than 10,000 Japanese who were led to Wangqing this time, but we only eliminated more than 8,000, which means that more than 2,000 Japanese escaped.
?”
"This..." Chen Xuedong was at a loss for words, but looked at Yang Banan and the three of them.
Yang Banan stepped forward bravely and said: "Captain, it's all our fault that our second battalion was useless. We failed to block the last death blow of the Japanese and allowed them to protrude. Please punish us."
Upon seeing this, Huang Shouxin said: "Captain, I am responsible for this..."
"Okay, what are you fighting for? Isn't it glorious to lose a battle?" Xu Rui said, "Go back and sum up, why are other battalions blocked, but not your second battalion?"
Huang Shouxin and the three company commanders quickly stood up to attention and shouted in response.
At this time, Leng Tiefeng came over with more than forty wolf fangs.
The performance of the Langya Brigade was still outstanding. After a whole night of melee, they killed countless Japanese soldiers but suffered zero casualties. Only two team members suffered minor injuries.
Leng Tiefeng said: "Old Xu, the main force of the 48th Division has been basically eliminated. Should we return to support Wujiashan next?"
The situation in Wujiashan Fortress is not optimistic. The Japanese have successively broken through the four surrounding sub-forts and are preparing to launch the final general attack on the main fort. The situation is already precarious. If the main force of the new regiment comes back to support at this time, it will undoubtedly be a huge help.
By replenishing the defense power of Wujiashan Fortress, not to mention counterattack, there is still hope of repelling the Japanese attack.
Xu Rui shook his head and said in a deep voice: "What's the point of returning aid at this time? If we had chosen to come back, we wouldn't have had to come out in the first place."
Leng Tiefeng frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
A cold light flashed in Xu Rui's eyes, and he said: "Capture Yanji and Tumen County!"
"Huh?" Leng Tiefeng's expression suddenly changed slightly when he heard this, "Capture Yanji and Tumen County?"
"That's right, we captured Yanji and Tumen County!" Xu Rui nodded and said in a deep voice, "Part of the Japs from the 48th Division escaped, but they were unable to stop us from attacking Yanji County and Tumen.
The county is attacking! And as long as Yanji County and Tumen County are captured, the Japanese Seventh Army will immediately be in trouble!"
All the military supplies of the Japanese Seventh Army were transported from the northeast through Tumen and Yanji.
Therefore, if the new regiment occupied Tumen and Yanji, the logistics channel of the Japanese Seventh Army would be cut off immediately. Considering the inconvenient transportation in North Korea and the long distances, the Japanese Seventh Army would be in big trouble!
Leng Tiefeng nodded and said: "Is this the case of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao? It is indeed smarter than returning directly to rescue Wujiashan Fortress."
"It's not just about surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao!" Xu Rui said cheerfully, "Based on my understanding of the old devil Yamashita Fengwen, even if the logistics channel is cut off by us, he will not retreat easily!"
Leng Tiefeng's expression suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Old Xu, you don't want to eat Yamashita Fengwen's Seventh Army in one bite, do you?"
Xu Rui said solemnly: "Since there is a chance, why not?"
"What? Do you really think so?" Leng Tiefeng was stern when he heard this.
The other battalion commanders and company commanders also looked at each other. The goal of the regiment commander was a bit big.
Xu Rui snorted and said coldly: "Blow up all the equipment that cannot be taken away immediately, including the twenty-four mountain cannons. You nerd, lead the heroes of the New First Battalion and the Changbai Eighteenth Village to attack Tumen County. The rest will
The battalion will attack Yanji County with me. This time we will not only seize two county towns, but also completely kill the 48th Division!"
"Yes!" He Shuya and other battalion commanders all stood upright.
Huang Shouxin brought the three company commanders of the Second Battalion to Xu Rui and said in a deep voice: "Captain, our Second Battalion did not fight well in the Wang Qing battle and more than 2,000 Japanese escaped, so why don't you give it to us?"
Let’s give our Second Battalion a chance to avenge our humiliation. In the battle of Yanji, our Second Battalion must take the lead in the main attack no matter what.”
Xu Rui nodded and said: "Know your shame and then be brave. I will let your second battalion take the lead in the attack. Whether you can take Yanji this time depends on your second battalion's ability! Keep your word and don't let me down again."
"Thank you, Captain, our Second Battalion will not let you down!"
"Everyone is here, let's go!"
…
The main force of the 48th Division suffered heavy losses, and news of the death of division commander Hiroshi Nakagawa soon reached Yamashita Fengfumi's headquarters at the foot of Hunchun Ridge through the escaped Yamamoto regiment.
Suddenly hearing the news, Yamashita Fengwen's expression suddenly changed.
"Nakagawa Hiroshi, this loser, defeated Xu Rui's new regiment with more than 10,000 people in such a short period of time. I really don't know how he fought this battle?" Yamashita Fengwen shouted angrily, "
Even if we send 15,000 pigs over and line them up for a new group to kill, I'm afraid they won't be able to kill them all in one night."
Kobayashi Senzaburo said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, Commander, the 48th Division has been severely damaged. Yanji County and Tumen County may not be able to be saved. And if Yanji County and Tumen County are lost, then our Seventh Army's
The logistics support channel will be completely cut off by the new group, which will cause trouble!"
After a pause, Asaburo Kobayashi said again: "So, before the situation gets out of control, withdraw your troops quickly!"
Yamashita Fengwen's face showed a look of struggle. Reason told him that he should withdraw his troops. A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. If this battle continues, the Seventh Army will face major risks. However, emotionally, he fully accepts it.
If you can't get such a result, you have worked hard for several months and paid such a high price, and finally ended up with such a result? How can you be willing to do so?
Seeing that Yamashita Fengfumi was still hesitating, Kobayashi Asaburo immediately became anxious and loudly advised: "Your Excellency, Commander, you can no longer hesitate. Please order the withdrawal of troops as soon as possible!"
After being urged by Kobayashi Asaburo, Yamashita Tomofumi made up his mind.
"No! We absolutely cannot withdraw our troops!" Yamashita Fengwen suddenly raised his hand and said in a deep voice, "The attack on the main fortress of Wujiashan Fortress has entered the final stage. The new regiment left behind cannot hold on for long. As long as we are like this
Bian can capture Wujiashan first, even if Xu Rui's new regiment's main force captures Tumen and Yanji, it will be useless!"
Asaburo Kobayashi frowned and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, do you want to compete with Xu Rui for time?"
"Sodais, and I firmly believe that victory must belong to the Far East Front!" Yamashita Fengwen nodded and said, "The special operations division has rested for half a month, and now it's time for them to attack. The final general attack on Wujiashan Fortress.
I decided to launch an attack from both the light and dark directions at the same time, and this time I will capture the fortress in one fell swoop no matter what!"
Seeing that Yamashita Fengfumi was determined, Kobayashi Asaburo could only take the order.
Yamashita Fengwen's order was quickly conveyed to the special operations division, requiring the special operations division to brave the severe cold and penetrate into the Wujiashan Fortress through the sewage pipes and launch an attack on the defenders from the inside.
