No one can understand the current mood of the commander of the 110th Division, Lieutenant General Iishaomori. As the Chinese saying goes, the chicken flies and the egg beats the egg, which is his current situation. did not catch Zhou Min, nor did he kill Zhao Min, but folded into two wings. That's two wings. From the occupation of Tohoku to the present, the Imperial Japanese Army has hardly achieved such defeats. Iisho was a refresher for Japan's defeat in China.

When he received the last telegram from Tanaka United, his heart was bleeding, not only for Fujiwara United and Tanaka United, but also for the fate of his own military family. If the original label for him was incompetent, now it is simply a waste. The troops of the two wings were folded, and they didn't even catch a single figure. Although Fan Shaoshou wanted to explain that they had almost wiped out the two regiments of the Eighth Route Army, he swallowed back before he could say anything. There is a problem with how two companies change two regiments, and he estimates that if he really says this, he will die even more ugly.

As the saying goes, one general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies, he thinks he is not an incompetent general, but his subordinates are very incompetent. He believes that his fatal defeat was definitely caused by two fools, Fujiwara and Tanaka. With such accurate intelligence, the enemy's equipment was so poor, and the number of people was so small, Fujiwara didn't succeed.

Tanaka is even more hateful. A simple containment mission was not completed, which led to the failure of Fujiwara's mission. With absolute firepower superiority, the enemy's troops had not yet been annihilated, and Zhou Min was not killed.

If Fujiwara and Tanaka were standing in front of him now, he would definitely draw his sword and chop them.

The chief of staff of the 110th Division walked into Fan Shaoshou's office with a report on his face.

"Let's talk about any bad news, Fan Shaoshou's face has no sadness or joy, and there is an expression of life and death. ”

The chief of staff said softly: "Your Excellency, it is an order from the base camp asking you to return to China immediately. After the chief of staff finished speaking, he handed the document to Fan Shaoshou.

Fan Shaoshou didn't bother to open the documents and read them, he laughed self-deprecatingly: "Go back to China immediately? Will you be tried by a military court? I'll go back and pack my clothes." “

After finishing speaking, Fan Shaoshou left the office and returned to his residence. Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, but Fan Shaoshou may have to take his life if he is unsatisfactory this time. The honor of the military did not allow him to return to the country to stand trial. The only way to restore the dignity of the defeated generals is to defend their dignity like a samurai: seppuku in order to repay His Majesty the Emperor.

After returning to his room, he tasted sushi and sake for the last time. After a good night's sleep, he burns incense and bathes and kneels on a futon in a traditional kimono. He tied a white bowl to his forehead. The words "military spirit" were written on the bowl scroll.

He took a deep breath and slowly picked up the knife, until he pulled out the scabbard and carefully wiped it with a white cotton cloth, his concentration seemed to treat his most precious treasure.

One last glance at the flag and photos of his family, he took a sharp breath and plunged the knife into his abdomen, slicing from left to right, then making a second stab slightly upwards, causing his intestines to overflow.

The sharp pain invaded his nerves, causing him to let out a muffled grunt. Fan Shaoshou clearly felt that his intestines seemed to flow out, and the bursts of pain accompanied by the slightest chill invaded his abdomen.

Then he fell to the ground, his hands still tightly gripping the hilt of the knife that had been inserted into his abdomen.

The chief of staff of the 110th Division waited for about two hours and did not see him come out of the room, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. He hurriedly took people to the room to take a look, only to find that their division commander had committed suicide by seppuku.

The officers and soldiers who came with him all took off their hats and bowed deeply to Fan Shaoshou's corpse, which was regarded as his final farewell.

Brigade Commander Chen of the 386th Brigade also set off for Wild Wolf Valley after receiving a telegram from the commander of the regiment.

After arriving at the battlefield, the commander of the regiment had already led people to clean the battlefield and treat the wounded. As far as the eye can see, it can be described as a mess, under the baptism of cannons, most of the trees have been broken, and the ground is full of craters one after another. Blood flowed down from the heights, pooled into the craters, and turned into small blood bubbles.

Except for corpses on the ground, corpses are corpses.

Brigade Commander Chen looked at the three regiment commanders standing in front of him and said, "You fought this battle beautifully, although our losses were also very large, but we completely annihilated the devil's wing. Coupled with the Fujiwara Wing annihilated by the Second Regiment and the Third Regiment, our 386 Brigade annihilated the two wings of the devil in one day. Although our soldiers also suffered heavy casualties, such a victory is rare since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and it will give great encouragement to the people of the whole country. “

Wei Bo and Lu Long saluted Brigade Commander Chen with tears in their eyes.

Wei Bo's tears flowed down his eyes and said: "The brigade commander's battle is too miserable, and there are only more than 300 brothers left in our second regiment. All the others died, and the grassroots commanders were almost dead!"

Lu Long wiped a handful of tears and said: "The situation of our three regiments is similar, the political commissar Lao Wang, the commander of the first battalion, the commander of the second battalion, and the company commanders below all the sacrifices, only one company commander of the third battalion is still alive, and the rest are all sacrificed!"

Lu Long said as he burst into tears, and finally cried.

Brigade Commander Chen patted him on the shoulder, his mouth pursed fiercely, and he also had tears in his eyes. How did he not know that his 386 brigade suffered heavy losses, two regiments were disabled. The backbone of the commanders at the grassroots level has almost been lost.

But compared to the results of the annihilation of the two wings of the devils, these losses were not much. Moreover, they also eliminated the devil's artillery team

"Where are Captain Chen and Company Commander Zhou of the National Army? Take me to meet them. ”

Brigade Commander Chen walked to the place where the wounded were resting, and he saw Chen Yunzhang, Zhou Lei and others. Chen Yunzhang, who was originally heroic, is now more miserable, and his body is covered with bandages. The strange uniform had been stained red with blood, and the helmet had been dented in several places, thrown on the ground haphazardly, and the submachine gun on his chest was also lying on the ground haphazardly.

And the people who wore the same military uniform as him looked like there were only a dozen people. You don't have to think about it to know that everyone else is dead. In addition to the national army, there were more than 10 people wearing civilian clothes, Brigade Commander Chen guessed that they should be bandits from Maoershan, but he didn't expect that after such a tragic battle, some bandits actually survived. But the common characteristic of this small group of people is that they are more seriously injured.

Brigade Commander Chen noticed the woman sitting quietly under the tree. She was expressionless as she watched as others bandaged her wounds. This person Brigade Commander Chen had never seen before, and he estimated that this should be Zhou Min. The battles for more than half a month have been closely related to her.

When watching Zhou Min. Brigade Commander Chen had a feeling in his heart that people were incomprehensible and the sea was incomprehensible, he didn't expect that such an ordinary girl could stir up such a big storm. At least 6,000 people have died in the past few days. And the follow-up impact has not yet begun. As for the results of the 386 Brigade, the major newspapers should soon sweep the land of China when they get publicity, and Zhou Min is likely to be pushed to the forefront again, so how should this girl deal with herself? Brigade Commander Chen began to worry about her.
