Ryosuke Isoya and his party, who chose to divide their troops to break through the mountains and enter the territory of Yicheng, had no idea that they were only one step away from death. On the other hand, the chief of staff of the division and regiment who broke through along the highway was still fighting with the pursuing anti-Japanese troops.

Although the Fifth Theater had deployed blocking troops in the area heading to Linyi, in order to rescue the 10th Division, the Japanese 5th Division stationed in Linyi also received a death order from the military headquarters, asking the division to go all out to rescue the 10th Division that had broken through.

Compared with the 10th Division, which was encircled and carried a limited supply of ammunition, the 5th Division, which had Linyi as the rear, had sufficient troops and weapons and equipment. Under the strict orders of the military headquarters, a fierce attack began on the blocking forces in the theater of operations.

The troops of the Fifth Theater, which were responsible for blocking the attack, also sent telegrams to Li Zongren asking for help from time to time. In the face of the telegram sent by the blocking troops, Li Zongren also knew that this kind of offensive and defensive battle in which both sides were defeated and wounded, the Japanese army would not be comfortable, and the blocking troops would also be uncomfortable.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Call back to the front-line troops and order them to hold out until dawn." The units responsible for the pursuit must end the pursuit and return to their respective defense areas after dawn. If you can't catch up tonight, you can only say that those little devils have a big life! ”

"Sir, do we really want to miss such a rare opportunity to encircle and annihilate?"

"I don't want to miss out if I can. But you should know that the Japanese army is also worried that we will annihilate the 10th Division, so their reinforcements are gathering frantically. What do you think will happen if you don't take precautions?

In today's battle, the 10th Division was basically disabled by us. According to the battle reports from various departments, there are tens of thousands of corpses of little devils found on the battlefield alone. The little devils who are still running away right now are afraid that there won't be much left.

As the commander-in-chief, I have to think long-term. The price we paid for the encirclement and annihilation of the 10th Division this time was not small. Sometimes, we have to learn to take what we see. If you are too greedy, it is easy to lose more than you gain! ”

As the commander-in-chief of the theater, Li Zongren's overall view is naturally stronger than that of other generals. When looking at problems, we should also consider the security of the war zone. In order to encircle and annihilate the 10th Division, the troops lost their generals, which was somewhat unworthy.

If they don't stop in time, wait for the Japanese reinforcements to arrive after dawn, and take the opportunity to launch a counterattack, the troops of the Fifth Theater of Operations, who have been fighting fiercely for a day and a night, may not be able to resist it. While the little devil reinforcements have not yet arrived, it is wisest to hurry back to defense.

After listening to Li Zongren's analysis, the generals of the General Staff also felt that it made sense. A win does not mean a global victory. The real task of the Fifth Theater was to prevent the Japanese army from breaking through their defense area and attacking Xuzhou.

Even if the 10th Division of the Japanese Army was completely annihilated, the Japanese Army would have other main battle divisions. If you don't see a good one, it will be easy to give the little devil a chance. No one can say for sure whether the targets who will be hunted down and killed will be replaced by them!

The little devils who are running frantically, in fact, know that they can only survive the first night, and they may be able to get out safely. can see the anti-Japanese war troops chasing after them, and many little devils have a feeling of living like a year.

Each time the troops left behind to block the attack, they can buy some time for the fleeing troops. On the other hand, the pursuing anti-Japanese war troops were tightly behind them from beginning to end, blocking a group of people who continued to be poor and did not give the Japanese army a chance to breathe.

Faced with the situation of the anti-Japanese war troops behind him, the chief of staff of the division who led the main force of the division to break through encouraged his subordinates from time to time: "Warriors, hold on, we are not far from the defense area of the fifth division, and we will be safe soon!" ”

For the encouragement of the chief of staff of the division and regiment, many Japanese soldiers felt that there was a sense of hope to quench their thirst. The question is, even without the encouragement of the chief of staff, who would dare to stop and not leave? Once the pursuers are allowed to catch up, they will surely die except to surrender.

Knowing that his subordinates were very tired and hard, the chief of staff of the division still pretended that it was impossible. It's just that when he saw the anti-Japanese war troops hanging behind him, the chief of staff felt relieved again. The more troops pursuing him, the safer the division commander who broke through from the direction of Yicheng.

"General, you must break out safely! It's not difficult, our efforts now will be in vain! ”

The chief of staff and the main force of the division and regiment as bait attracted the attention of the vast majority of pursuers. As for the direction in which the division commander broke through, the chief of staff did not hear the gunshots, nor did he see the follow-up anti-Japanese troops dividing their troops to pursue.

This also means that his idea of dividing his troops to break through is feasible, and it is unknown whether it will succeed!

Maybe some people just arrived safely at the section of the highway that was only more than ten kilometers away from Yicheng, looking at the wreckage of the ambushed chariot squadron, Ryosuke Isoya and his party were also guessing that it was the unit that ambushed their chariot unit.

Just as they inspected the battlefield and wondered why not a single body could be found. Hu Biao, who was staying in the ambush position, had already made a gesture of 'ready for battle' to the team members around him. The muzzles of the sniper team have been aimed at the little devils on the road.

Hu Biao, who was holding a light machine gun, carefully pushed the bullet to load, aimed at the little devil on the road, and suddenly pulled the trigger and shouted: "Fight!" ”

The sudden gunshots, accompanied by countless life-threatening bullets, flew straight towards the little devil who was caught off guard on the road. Originally, I wanted to find out how the tank squadron was ambushed, but I never thought that the ambush soldiers were still there.

When the machine gun roared, Kei Seya, as the temporary commander, threw down the division commander Ryosuke Isotani with a forward pounce, and even dragged and shouted: "Counterattack!" Take cover! Spread out and find concealment to fight back! Prepare to cover the departure of the division commander! ”

Maybe Seya Kai never dreamed that his roar made Hu Biao, who was staying in the trenches, listen to it. The title of division commander made Hu Biao instantly happy: "Brothers, aim and fight, there is a big fish below!" ”

Hearing this, Xu Sandao immediately asked curiously: "Captain, did you hear what the little devil said before?" ”

"Hmmm! If nothing else, the commander of the little devil's division should be in this team. The sniper team, blocking both ends of the road, as long as the little devil dares to break through, he will aim and hit me. Notify the artillery squad and reward the devil with two cannons! ”

If Kei Seya knew that the words he shouted earlier would expose the disguised division commander, I am afraid that he will regret vomiting blood. It's a pity that even if he knew that there was a division commander in this gang of little devils, Hu Biao still attacked according to the established tactics.

Just as Hu Biao thought, although the little devil on the highway was suddenly ambushed, his reaction speed was very fast. Many little devils almost crawled to find shelter, and quickly raised their guns to fight back.

Kei Seya, who was dragging the division commander to hide next to an abandoned armored car, looked at the gunshots coming from the mountain beams on both sides, and said with some worry: "Your Excellency the division commander, judging from the enemy's gunfire, there are not many enemies ambushing us. ”

"Seya-kun, what are your plans?"

"We can't stay on the road, and the longer we drag on, the more dangerous we become. It's not far from Yicheng, and once the troops stationed in the city arrive to reinforce us, we really have no way out! ”

"The entire gendarmerie, including me, is under your command. Give me a rifle and I'm going to be in the fight! ”

"No! Division commander, even if we try our best, we will definitely cover your breakthrough! Lieutenant, machine gun cover, suppress enemy fire on the hill, prepare to cover the division commander to leave here! ”

"Yes, General!"

Kai Seya, who made a quick decision, was very worried that the gunshots coming from here would alarm the anti-Japanese troops far away in Yicheng. If they really run into a large army, they will really be finished. It's a pity that from the moment the shots rang out, everything was already over!

Without waiting for the gendarmerie to react, the artillery squad, which had received orders from Hu Biao, had already begun firing shells at the road. When the first round of shells fell, the little devils lying on the road were dumbfounded.

Even Seya Kai couldn't help but scold: "Yaga! How can the enemy have mortars? The highway can't stay any longer, continue to break through! ”

With the roar of Seya Kai, the gendarmerie lying on the road, even though they knew that it was extremely dangerous to break through at this moment, still gritted their teeth and got up from the ground and began to break through to both sides of the road. As soon as a few little devils got up, they were hit by machine guns on the mountain.

The few little devils who were lucky enough to escape the machine-gun fire were also killed by sniper rifles on the mountain after they did not run a few steps. Looking at the soldiers who kept falling to the ground, Ryosuke Isoya said with a bitter face: "Seya-kun, let the warriors stop fighting!" ”

"General, we will definitely be able to protect you from breaking through, you must not give up!"

"But if you continue to fight like this, the warriors will die in vain!"

"As long as the general can break through safely, even if we all die in battle, it will be our honor!"

"Yes, General! Please don't give up, I'll take someone to rush again! The team in charge of the rear of the hall has arrived, and they can share the firepower for us. There are not many enemies ambushing us, and we will definitely have a chance to rush out! ”

The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny!

Listening to the gunshots coming from front and back, Ryosuke Isoya and the others, who were blocked on the road, were still happy to come, but found that there were also enemies on both sides of the road. The worst thing is that the enemy who blocks them does not give them a chance to approach the distance at all.

Stubbornly guarding both ends of the road, so that they could not advance or retreat, so they could only helplessly hide in the area where the tank squadron was attacked. After several rounds of attacks, the gendarmerie only lost their lives in vain, and they were simply unable to break through the fire blockade of the enemy on both sides.

Looking at the decreasing number of gendarmerie members around him, Ryosuke Isoya, who had planned to surrender before, suddenly said at this moment: "Give me a rifle, I want to participate in the battle!" Since we have no way out, let's fight them to the end! ”

"Hey! Fight with them! ”

Hearing what Ryosuke Isoya said, the surviving gendarmerie members seemed to know what they were about to face. As the guard unit that protects the division and regimental headquarters, the division commander Yu Sha, they also lose their reason to live.

On the other hand, Hu Biao, who was staying on the battlefield at the moment, had already changed a sniper rifle and stared at the few people hiding next to the abandoned chariot. Even though Ryosuke Isoya was wearing a lieutenant officer uniform, Hu Biao confirmed the identity of the target from the actions of other little devils.

The head of a little devil division died in Jinlingkeng a few days ago, and Hu Biao didn't feel any joy at all. This time he finally had the opportunity to catch a living Japanese lieutenant general, and Hu Biao felt that maybe he could really try to capture this person!
