The Emperor vomited blood, frightening the guards guarding the Emperor.

Hirohito, who didn't wake up until he passed out, quickly said to the Minister of War of the Japanese Kingdom with an ugly face: "Bagaya Road, didn't the 6th Division send troops to search when it passed through Pingxing Pass?" Eight Ga Ya Road! Tell Naosaburo Okabe that if something happens to the 6th Division, it will be an extremely shameful thing for the military prestige of the imperial army. Ordered Naosaburo Okabe to mobilize troops with all his might to rescue the 6th Division. ”。

"Hay, Your Majesty!" The Minister of War of the Wa Kingdom, who was kneeling on the ground, only said in a heavy voice, and Hirohito's face was already very ugly at this time.

As the 6th Division was ambushed by Li Yunlong and others at Pingxing Pass, the 115th Division was ambushed and annihilated by the 115th Division in the Qiaogou Gorge east of Pingxing Pass, and the 1st Brigade and the baggage convoy under the command of Seishiro Sakata were reminded of the Japanese Army.

The 6th Division is one of the 17 earliest field divisions of the Japanese army, and it is also one of the two most capable Japanese divisions, and it is the most representative unit of the Japanese state.

If the 6th Division suffered heavy casualties at Pingxingguan, or even more than half of the casualties, it would hit the momentum of the Japanese state.

Therefore, Hirohito, who received the 6th Division being ambushed by a heavy siege, vomited blood several times after being angry, and hurriedly summoned the Minister of War of the Japanese Kingdom, who came to visit him urgently, to order Okabe Naosaburo to dispatch troops to rescue the 6th Division.

Soon, in the city of Taiyuan, the Minister of War of the Japanese Kingdom directly bypassed the commander of the North China Front, Tada Shungo, and sent an urgent telegram to Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo, who was temporarily the commander of the Japanese First Army, strictly ordering Okabe Naosaburo to transfer troops to reinforce the 6th Division as soon as possible.

It's just that Okabe Naosaburo, who received the urgent telegram at this time, smiled bitterly, "I have already received a strict order from His Majesty the Emperor and the War Department, but I am afraid that it will take at least an hour for the reinforcements to arrive recently." Miyano-kun, how far is the nearest reinforcement from the 6th Division? ”

Major General Miyano Taro, Chief of Staff of the First Army of the Japanese Army, who was standing next to Naosaburo Okabe, said helplessly: "Minister Oka, I have sent an urgent telegram urging reinforcements from all walks of life to speed up. However, reinforcements from all units reported encountering guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army along the way, and the local armed forces were slow to block them. Roads, bridges and other transportation facilities were damaged by local Chinese guerrillas and local armed forces. As a last resort, the various units could only abandon their heavy weapons and march lightly on foot to Pingxingguan. ”。

After a pause, Taro Miyano smiled bitterly: "At present, it is at least fifty minutes or so away from Gu Shoufu's reinforcements to be able to arrive. However, it is estimated that the air planes we took off will fly to the sky east of Pingxingguan in about 10 minutes to carry out aerial bombardment of the Chinese troops ambushed on the hills on both sides of the Qiaogou Gorge and cover the 6th Division's approach to Pingxingguan. ”。

"Order the reinforcements closest to Tani Shofu to reinforce the headquarters of the 6th Division, which was ambushed at Pingxingguan, at all costs. Contact the air group again, speed up the flight as much as possible, and reinforce and cover the 6th Division to break through. Hurry up to Toshio Tani, we must keep the main force of the division. ”

Taro Miyano paused and said, "Hay, Your Excellency Commander, I'll do it right away." ”。

Okabe Naosaburo nodded, but at this time Okabe Naosaburo was already vaguely worried about whether the 6th Division could break out of the other party's encirclement.

After all, judging from the content of the urgent telegram sent back by Gu Shoufu, the Chinese army ambushing them east of Pingxingguan was at least about 13,400,000, and the firepower was strong. As soon as the ambush began, the 6th Division was divided and surrounded in the Qiaogou Gorge with lightning speed.

The Qiaogou Gorge is steep and narrow, and a road built on the ancient road can only allow one truck, tank and other vehicles to pass.

More than 20,000 people of the 6th Division were crammed into a long and slender Qiaogou Gorge, and they could not take care of each other.

As soon as he thought of this, Naosaburo Okabe couldn't help but bless Tani Shoufu in his heart to be able to exert his due combat command ability and break out of the encirclement with the 6th Division!

Just when Okabe Naosaburo was worried, at this time, the fierce battle in Qiaogou Canyon east of Pingxingguan had already entered a white-hot stage.

"Boom, boom! Boom Boom! "The ambush fire from the mountains on both sides, the Japanese soldiers who were in chaos on the ancient road of Qiaogou Gorge were crying for their fathers and mothers.

There were explosions one after another, and the Japanese troops who were blown into chaos on the ancient road no longer had an arrogant momentum at this time.

"Your Excellency, the commander of the division, Ushijima Man, commanded the 23rd Wing and the 45th Wing, totaling more than 4,000 people, to storm the blocking positions of the Chinese troops in the direction of Pingxingguan, and they were unable to overcome them for a long time, suffering heavy casualties. There have now been at least 1,500 casualties. The attack road was full of Imperial soldiers who had died in battle. ”

In Gu Shoufu's temporary field headquarters, the surrounding artillery fire and gunpowder smoke were filled, and the chief of staff of the 6th Division, Shimono Ichihuo Dazuo, hurriedly returned from outside and reported to Gu Shoufu urgently.

Gu Shoufu put down the binoculars in his hand at this time, and the battle on both sides of Qiaogou Canyon to attack Lao Ye Temple, Dongpaochi and other commanding heights on the mountain was not smooth.

"Nani?"

Gu Shoufu's brows were furrowed, and his eyes were already solemn, "Ushijima is full of this waste, have you contacted the lower 11th brigade?" ”

Shimono Ichihuo Dazuo shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "The 11th Brigade is no longer in contact, and many Chinese troops have rushed into the valley road and cut off our connection with the 11th Infantry Brigade. The ambush fire of the Chinese army on the hills on both sides was very fierce. Most of the artillery of the artillery wing to which the division belonged had already been blown up. At the moment, only the artillery fire under the direct control of the units is counterattacking. ”。

"Bang!" After hearing this, I saw Gu Shoufu smash his fist on the bunker sack in front of him.

The shouts of killing around them were approaching, indicating that the Chinese troops who had ambushed them had probably begun to launch a tentative general attack.

At this time, if Ushijima Mitsuru did not command the post to break through the Chinese army's blockade, the 6th Division, which had already been divided into several sections, would be eaten up by the ambush fire of the other side.

Gu Shoufu no longer had a coquettish mentality at this time, and turned to fear in his heart.

What kind of Chinese army is this, so strong.

"Send troops, you must open up contact with the 11th Infantry Brigade. Otherwise, he directly sent an order to the commander of the 11th Infantry Brigade, Tokutaro, to lead his troops to move closer to the division headquarters as soon as possible. Otherwise, they're in trouble. Gu Shoufu said to Shimono with a gloomy face.

Shimono Yihuo was shocked when he heard this, "Haiyi, Your Excellency the division commander, you understand your humble duties. ”。

It's just that what Gu Shoufu and Shimono Kazuho don't know is that at this time, the little devils of the 11th Infantry Brigade are already on the verge of annihilation.
