In less than a minute, Gu Shoufu received the emergency situation of the defensive position on the west side that the chief of staff of the 36th Brigade personally rushed back to report directly to the old devil, and he was immediately terrified.

Once Ushijima can't stand it, the global collapse is just around the corner.

"Bring a message to Ushijima, we must hold the position on the west side and block the fierce attack of the Eighth Route Army! I have transferred the last reserve of the division commander to you, and it must be defended for me! ”

Gu Shoufu grabbed the collar of the chief of staff of the 36th Brigade and said angrily, his eyes were like eating people!

"Haiyi, Your Excellency the Division Commander, obey your orders."

The chief of staff of the 36th Brigade was yelled at by Gu Shoufu, and he was immediately frightened and paused to ensure that he held his position.

"Go ahead!"

The devil staff officer of the 36th Brigade suddenly rushed to the defensive position on the west side of the division headquarters with the only reserve of the division and regiment headquarters, that is, two squadrons of about five or six hundred people.

A few minutes later, the precarious Ushijima Man's command post finally stabilized the line after receiving the last reserve sent by Tanisoo to reinforce it.

It's just that the new regiment of at least five or six thousand men and horses has already advanced along the canyon with a fierce attack, and Wang Chengzhu, who is following the infantry attack and advancing, commanded his artillery to carry at least a dozen mortars, constantly covering the artillery behind the infantry, implementing the tactics of infantry and artillery coordination, and gnawing away the devil soldiers of the remnants of the 36th Brigade of the Ushijima Mansuo Division, who no longer have much ammunition to waste to counterattack.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, we can't stand it! The opponent's forces of at least five or six thousand troops attacked fiercely, and more than a dozen mortars were followed by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, which reached our defensive positions and carried out accurate artillery strikes. The few light and heavy machine gun fire points we had were taken out by the opposing gunners! The casualties are too great! ”

At this time, a Japanese staff officer standing beside Ushijima to protect her said in a condensed voice amid the rumbling of artillery, his face was very ugly.

"There is no other way, the situation is urgent, we can only fight to the death until reinforcements arrive. At this time, there is no force to support the breakthrough! It's a pity that my 6th Division was ambushed by three regiments of the Eighth Route Army, and it was in danger of annihilation, which is really ridiculous and generous! Ushijima said bitterly, at this time, it is already an afterthought gesture to say this, what else can I do? Fight to the death!

"Your Excellency the Brigade Commander said yes! Ay! ”

The Japanese staff officer also smiled bitterly when he heard this, and nodded helplessly.

Indeed, in fact, he couldn't blame the enemy army, but he didn't expect Li Yunlong to be able to get help from his brother troops so quickly. Moreover, the actual strength of the 28th Regiment and the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army is so large that the intelligence organs of the empire are all dry.

It's just that it's useless to complain now, Ushijima can only command the remnants to defend, and he can hold it for as long as he can.

Although it was unlikely that he would hold out until reinforcements arrived, Gu Shoufu still had at least 3,000 Japanese soldiers in his hands at this time. Moreover, the devil soldiers of the 6th Division knew that they were involved in the Jinling massacre, and once they fell into the hands of the Chinese army, they would be stripped of their skin if they did not die.

Therefore, there was no need for Gu Shoufu to strictly defend again, and the soldiers of the devil who insisted on waiting for help gritted their teeth and stood up, constantly fighting to the death with the various units of the Eighth Route Army that were attacking from the east and west flanks.

In the canyon, the flames of war were completely ablaze. The light and heavy machine guns of the two sides continued to fight, and the shouts of the soldiers were deafening, which had already made the final moment of the encirclement and suppression battle in the canyon white-hot.

"Send another telegram to the nearest Fanzhi reinforcements, requesting to speed up and attack Pingxingguan!" Seeing that the troops of the Eighth Route Army who had been killed from the direction of the defense of Ushijima Mansuo on the west side were approaching the vicinity of his division headquarters, Gu Shoufu couldn't sit still, and hurriedly beckoned a Japanese staff officer behind him to order.

"Haiyi, Your Excellency the Division Commander!"

Then he left quickly, walked to the side of the bunker headquarters, and directly ordered the signal corps to send a telegram urging the Japanese reinforcements to speed up.

It's just that even Tani Shoufu knows that the Pingxing Pass guarded by Daisuke Kotani has been lost, so the Chinese army occupying the Pingxing Pass is bound to strengthen the defense of the Pingxing Pass. Even if the Japanese army that was advancing eastward to rescue could rush to Pingxingguan to attack at this time, it would be impossible to conquer Pingxingguan in a short time.

As for their own side, it is possible that the entire army has already been wiped out.

"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! ”

"Boom, boom!!"

................

Suddenly, the sound of gunfire continued to explode around the headquarters of Gu Shoufu's 6th Division Field Division, which made Gu Shoufu terrified, and the death so close had already made the old devil tremble.

"What's going on? What's going on? Gu Shoufu yelled anxiously.

In less than ten seconds, the captain of the Japanese guard team protecting the regimental headquarters of Gu Shoufu's division hurried to report, "Your Excellency, the commander of the reporting division, there is a small group of troops of the Eighth Route Army near our headquarters, but it has been repelled by our team, please rest assured that the division commander." ”

"Got it! Let's go down! Gu Shoufu waved his hand.

The captain of the Japanese squad who reported the situation immediately withdrew and continued to guard, but the only five or six devil officers in the division and regiment headquarters looked at each other, and then the devil officers all thought that in the history of the 6th Division, it was extremely rare for enemy troops to hit the division and regiment headquarters, and there was no one at all.

Unexpectedly, this time I was planted here in Qiaogou Canyon!

At this time, Gu Shoufu looked around, and the soldiers of the new regiment, the 28th regiment and the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army who were attacking and killed in the direction of the two flanks had already defeated his remnants and retreated, and the defensive positions that had been hastily constructed were lost.

The defeat is already doomed, and there is no way back.

But until the last moment, Tani Shofu still commanded at least 3,000 remnants of the Japanese army under the control of two Japanese brigade commanders such as Ushijima Man, Itokutaro and other subordinate officers, and they blocked the attack of the three Eighth Route soldiers and horses for at least half an hour, and after being annihilated.

"Your Excellency the Division Commander, the guard troops can no longer withstand it, please ask Your Excellency the Division Commander to execute the last honor of committing suicide by disembowelment and serving His Majesty the Emperor!" In the bunker headquarters, Gu Shoufu was already kneeling on the ground at this time, and the chief of staff of the division and regiment on the side, Shimono Yihuo Dazuo, said in a condensed voice, urging Gu Shoufu not to pretend and quickly commit suicide.

Gu Shoufu clenched his katana and smiled bitterly, once he was captured by the Eighth Route Army, it would be his life of shame.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the ministers are incompetent! Imperial, long live Your Majesty! ”

After Gu Shoufu roared angrily, the clenched katana stabbed his little stomach and stirred it fiercely.

The old devil's head was sweating from pain for the first time, and Shimono Kazuho, who was in charge of the final action on the side, then cut off Gu Shoufu's head with a knife.

Then, Shimono Kazuho looked at the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were almost about to rush in, and shot himself in the temple with a southern pistol.

With the suicide of the last high-ranking officer of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, the 6th Division of the Japanese Army was completely annihilated!
