The Suzuki Division stared at the 33rd Wing Commander with fierce eagle-like eyes and roared angrily: "Yuhe Shiba Dasa, because of your incompetence, it directly affects the Suzuki Division's breakthrough of the defense line of the Chinese army and its withdrawal from the Xiyang River Valley, do you still have the face to live?" ”

"Your Excellency, the commander of the division, his subordinates are incompetent, and he should die to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor." As he spoke, the captain of the Yuhe Chai Wing pulled out the command knife, tore his white shirt, wiped the white glittering command knife, held the command knife in both hands, and shouted that he was about to plunge the knife into his abdomen.

"Wait, Hahe-kun, are you so easily defeated by the China Pig and have no fighting spirit? If you want to atone for your sins, lead the 33rd Wing to break through the defense line of China with the most courageous bushido spirit and cover the withdrawal of the main force from the Xiyang River Valley, do you understand? ”

"Thank you division commander for giving me this opportunity, please believe me, as long as you give me another chance to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, I will definitely lead the 33rd Wing to conquer the defense line of China, expand the results of the battle, and cover the withdrawal of the main force from the Xiyang River Valley."

"Hey, I very much believe that Yuai Shiba Osa is a brave imperial commander, I hope you don't disappoint me, once you can't complete the results of breaking through the defense line of China to open up the large army to break out, you know what to do."

The captain of the Hahe Shiba Wing swore an oath in front of the commander of the Suzuki Division that if he could not lead the 33rd Wing to break through the defense line of China, he would commit suicide by disembowelment on the battlefield and would never survive.

Captain Hahechai, who walked out of the division commander's headquarters, returned to the wing for the honor of the Imperial Japanese Army, and immediately organized his troops to launch an attack on the position of the 85th Division of the 14th Army that was holding the defense line of the Tiger Head before dusk.

At dusk, the 85th Division, which was suddenly counterattacked by the Japanese army, faced the frantic attack of the Japanese army, and the officers and men of the unit and the attacking enemy once again started a life-and-death struggle.

In order to break through the position of the 85th Division and cover the withdrawal of the main force from the Xiyang River Valley, the captain of the Yuhe Chai Wing actually went to the front line shirtless, brandishing a command knife and rushing to the front.

This is a large death squad with the wing as the backbone, and the little devils are holding guns under the cover of artillery fire, like a pack of wolves stimulated in the mountains, frantically pounced on the forward position, and its might is unstoppable.

All the officers and men of the 85th Division repelled the attacks of the Yuhechai Wing again and again, and the Japanese suffered heavy casualties again, but this Yuhechai Wing did not seem to be flesh and blood conscious soldiers at all, just like a group of manipulated dead soldiers, who were not afraid of artillery fire and bullets flying hunting, and fell behind a group and followed closely.

This kind of suicidal attack really shocked the officers and men of the 85th Division who were sticking to the defense line of the Tiger Head position, and inspired this group of anti-Japanese fighters to fight off the counterattacks of the Yuhechai Wing many times with the combat effectiveness of the attacking enemy.

Seeing that night has fallen, they have repeatedly launched attacks, not only can not break through the defensive line of the position held by the Chinese troops, but will also bury all the soldiers around them in the front line of the defense line of the Chinese troops.

Frustrated, this always arrogant Haai Shiba Osa, ordered the troops to stop the counterattack and return to the camp to rest on the spot.

He returned to the military tent used as the command post and temporary rest of the 33rd Wing, and under the care of the orderlies, he prepared the procedure of apology to His Majesty the Emperor, and said to the orderlies sadly:

"Fujiwara-kun, I, Haheshiba, suffered an unprecedented defeat in this battle, and I no longer have the face to stay in the army to serve the empire and His Majesty, and when I end my life to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor, please bring back the ashes I refined back to Hokkaido, I will be grateful, please Fujiwara-kun."

"Your Excellency Dazuo, you must not take the road of self-punishment and apology, the Suzuki division is alone in the depths, at this time it is surrounded by a large army in the Xiyang River Valley, you have repeatedly advised not to blindly advance, but General Suzuki not only did not listen carefully, but scolded you for being alarmist and demagogic to the army, and now ......."

"Fujiwara-kun, please don't say it again, as a commander of the Imperial Japanese Army, I did not successfully complete the task assigned by the upper peak, which is disloyal to His Majesty the Emperor and a disgrace to my Imperial Japanese Army, and I can only apologize to the Emperor with my death in order to inspire the courage of the soldiers of the Imperial Imperial Army who are besieged in the Xiyang River Valley to fight to the end."

"No, Your Excellency, as your orderly, I am very aware of your great military exploits in the army, and for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor and the honor of the invincible Imperial Japanese Army, I beg you not to ......."

"Don't, don't ........" Just when Fujiwara was crying loudly and persuading Hahe Shiba Daisa to initiate an apology to His Majesty the Emperor, the captain of the Haai Shiba Wing suddenly widened his eyes, grabbed the command knife with both hands and plunged it into his abdomen.

"Fujiwara-kun, please, please, please, you're ......." Yuai Shiba Dasa swallowed his last breath, this murderous Japanese commander, in the end, he had to die a good death, although he died by suicide, but this is also the end he deserves.

The Japanese army was besieged in the Xiyang River Valley, after a day of rushing left and right, never able to break through the way out, the troops suffered heavy casualties, because the command of the troops counterattack was unfavorable, self-cutting seppuku suicide of a large Zuo.

In this siege battle of the Xiyang River Valley, the enemy and us experienced a brutal and fierce battle, which lasted for more than ten days, although the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties, but never gave up resistance, stubbornly resisted and launched counterattacks again and again, but failed again and again.

Although the National Revolutionary Army in the Nakajo Mountain Theater lured the Suzuki Division into the Xiyang River Valley and took advantage of the favorable terrain to set up positions to deal a heavy blow to the enemy who tried to break through, it really did not have such a great appetite to swallow this Japanese army in one bite in the narrow Xiyang River Valley.

This is because this is an elite division of the Japanese army's first-class division, and it is also the main force of the Japanese army that invaded the Jinnan area of our Zhongtiao Mountain, not the Japanese army's logistics baggage transport convoy ambushed at Dongwuling.

In the Dongwuling Zhongtiao Mountain Theater, only one of the 10th and 14th Divisions were mobilized, and with the cooperation of the Third Column and the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, they successfully fought a beautiful ambush battle, not only blowing up more than 300 large transport trucks of the Japanese army, but also eliminating more than 1,500 Japanese troops and logistics personnel in the alert convoy.

The Battle of Dongwuling took only three hours to achieve brilliant results, but in the Xiyang River Valley, even if the number of troops participating in the battle in the Zhongtiao Mountain Theater was greater than that of the Suzuki Division, how easy would it be to wipe out this main force of the Japanese army, which had been besieged for more than ten days.

The Supreme Commander of the Zhongtiao Mountain Theater was very anxious about the advance of the Xiyang River Valley Campaign, and quickly issued orders to all units.

The staff officer of the 17th Division's war room received an urgent telegram from the Supreme Commander of the Theater, which was very urgent: 'Commander Li, Division Commander Zhao, and Division Commander He should be sent within 30 minutes. The enemy who invaded the Xiyang River could not advance or retreat in front of him, so as to be surrounded by our army, and the commanders of all armies and divisions should supervise the dawn of the sun to launch a fierce attack on the enemy in front of him and annihilate him in one fell swoop.

According to the deployment of the top commander of the theater, in order to besiege the Japanese Suzuki Division in the Xiyang River Valley, five divisions and other troops were invested. Its main force was the 17th Division of the Zhao Division, the 81st Division of the He Division, and the 14th Army Li Division (10th, 83rd, and 85th Divisions).

The next day, each division was ordered to send a reinforced regiment to launch the most ferocious attack on the positions of the Suzuki Division trapped in the Xiyang River Valley.

The commander of the Suzuki Division received a report from each brigade and wing that the Chinese troops had sent a reinforced regiment to attack the Japanese position, requesting the division to replenish weapons and equipment, food, food and grass in a timely manner, otherwise the troops would run out of ammunition and food, and would inevitably cause great casualties.

When the commander of the Suzuki division received the information, he not only did not get nervous, but laughed.
