Ta Kung Pao, Declaration, Huaxia Youth Daily, and RB's Asahi Shimbun all published the news in the shortest possible time, especially when the Asahi Shimbun published the news, the whole day was boiling. In Tokyo, the capital of Japan, countless ecstatic people poured into the streets, shouting slogans such as "Long live the Emperor," "Long live the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Zone, and wipe out the Third Army of China." At many intersections, many students and fanatical citizens were chanting the slogan of the invincibility of the Yamato nation and the Emperor's view of the victory of the Emperor.

A black sedan with windows covered by curtains slowly shuttling through the frenzied crowd, behind the sedan was the German ambassador to Japan, Jaimler, looked through the gap in the curtain at the people around him with white cloth strips on their heads and flushed faces, his face was very indifferent, and even showed a trace of incomprehension and regret in his eyes.

A curious man in the German army uniform sitting in the passenger cab asked Jaimler: "Your Excellency, the Ambassador, the Rimes themselves are cheering for the victory of their army, but I do not see any joy on your face, shouldn't we rejoice in the victory of our allies?" ”

Jaimler shook his head slowly: "Carlisle, don't you realize that the whole day has fallen into a fanatical and paranoid orbit now? ”

Seeing his military attaché's somewhat confused expression, Jaimler sighed and said, "Gambling is human nature, but I have found that there is no country in the world that is more fanatical than the RB people. Others are gambling on money, and if they lose, they are bankrupt, but Ri Ying himself is gambling on the fortune of the country, and every time they will put the fate of the whole country and the life and death of tens of millions of people, such as the First Sino-Japanese War with the Qing Dynasty, the Russo-Japanese Naval War with the Russians and the current Sino-Japanese War, in fact, they are betting on the fortune of the country, and this situation is really dangerous. ”

But the major said, "But they all won the bet, didn't they?" ”

"Yes, they won the first two bets!" Jaimler nodded, and then his face turned serious: "But Carlisle, can you guarantee that they will win every time?" ”

The Major was silent, and Jaimler continued: "Just like this time, Ri Ying himself thought that he would be able to occupy all of China within three months, but as a result, they swore such a promise, and our Führer also believed it, and did not hesitate to break off diplomatic relations with China for this reason. But as a result, it has been almost five years since this war was fought, not only has China not been wiped out, but even the coastal provinces have been recaptured by them, and now Huaxia has regained its foreign ports. If you look at the RB people outside, they are just surrounding a division in Huaxia, and they are also a security division subordinate to the local security forces, which is unthinkable before, but what is the reflection of these RB people, seeing their excitement is like the New Year, isn't this enough to explain the problem? ”

"But it's a victory after all, isn't it?" The military attache of the major cautiously expressed his opinion.

"Victory?" Jaimler smiled strangely: "Carlisle, you have to remember that war is a very serious and cautious matter, and no one dares to pat their chests and say that this is a victory until that force is wiped out,"

The major stopped talking, he turned his gaze to the Riyak himself outside, looking at the people of Riyakben who were already so excited that their faces were a little distorted, the Major's heart swelled with a trace of uneasiness, they were discussing whether these Riyaki themselves were in a frenzy, but how could their country be like this. Under the instigation of the Führer, today's Germany is like a big barracks, almost more than 80% of the Germans believe that under the leadership of the Führer, the German army can easily conquer the world, just like the previous conquest of Poland, France, Austria, last year the empire began to conquer the Soviet Union, but now the situation is not optimistic, the German army has fallen into the Soviet Union's big quagmire, which is so similar to today's RB!

Jaimler's fears were right, and now he was caught in a strange atmosphere. After four or five years of conquest, the economy of the Japanese army has been slowly dragged into the quagmire by China, although the RB cabinet has realized this and made a decision to gradually reduce the number of troops in China, but this machine called war has no brakes, and when it starts to move, it will not stop until it exhausts every ounce of its strength and crashes into pieces, even the emperor of the Japanese emperor cannot control its direction.

In order to continue to worry about the morale of the people of his country, after learning that the First Army had surrounded the Third Garrison Division of the Third Army, the government immediately activated the propaganda machine and spread the word that it was as if it had completely conquered China and won the victory of the RB. Tojo Hideki even called to praise Yoshio Suzuka for this, praising him as a model and pride for the Japanese soldiers, and for a while, Yoshio Suzuka's name began to spread in RB.

Fame is a good thing, it can make your promotion faster, and it can also give you honor, but it is also a double-edged blade, and it can hurt people if used incorrectly.

Originally, in Yoshio Suzuka's plan, as long as the Third Brigade of the Garrison was besieged, the troops of the two divisions could eat all this force in two days at most, but the fact gave Yoshio Suzuka a slap in the face.

March 5, 1942, 17:35 p.m

Yanagisawa Kanan looked at the position in front of him that was constantly pouring tongues of fire, his eyes almost wanted to erupt fire, that is, that position had stopped his brigade for two whole days, and in these two days, the brigade under his command had lost more than 400 people in front of this position, which was already nearly half of the strength of the entire brigade, and as the captain of this brigade, he felt that he had no face.

As the captain of the first brigade of the 219th Wing of the 35th Division, Yanagisawa Kanan is proud, although the 35th Division is not a permanent division, Yanagisawa Kanan has always believed that his division is no worse than those permanent divisions, and the soldiers of the 35th Division can also make immortal contributions to the empire and the emperor.

Yanagisawa Kanan thinks so, and also does so, in Manchuria these years, in the pursuit of the Northeast Volunteer Army and the various resistance forces in the Northeast, Yanagisawa Kanan can be said to be the vanguard of the 35th Division, because he can complete the tasks assigned by his superiors every time, he also quickly climbed from a squadron leader to the position of team leader in a few years, Yanagisawa Kanan's ideal is to be a wing leader before his 33rd birthday.

Becoming a wing captain before the age of thirty-three may seem simple, but in reality it is very difficult to do. Others say that Huaxia is a place where seniority is spoken, but as everyone knows, it is even worse, in the Japanese army, it is very difficult for an officer from an ordinary background to become a wing captain, in the Japanese army, those who can become a wing captain before the age of thirty-five are either real geniuses or there are people behind, and Yanagisawa Kanan, who has no two, wants to be promoted quickly, then he has to make real achievements, and now what combat merits are greater than the annihilation of the opposing army?

In order to take the small position on the opposite side, Yanazawa Kanan had organized more than a dozen attacks in the past two days, but he had not gained anything but hundreds of broken corpses.

Seeing the situation in front of him, Yanazawa Kanan was silent, he didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be if he reported to the captain of the wing like this and asked him for help, although he would not be beheaded or dismissed, but the cold bench in this life was fixed, and no general in Japan would be able to promote an officer who had suffered defeat.

Yanagisawa Kanan drew his command knife and shouted at the surrounding Japanese troops: "The third squadron and the fourth squadron launched attacks from the left and right flanks respectively, and the machine gun squadron and artillery immediately covered, today we must take down this position of the Chinese people, and the honor of our brigade is here!" ”

"Kill, give!"

Under the command of Yanagisawa Kanan, more than 200 Japanese troops began to rush towards the position......

Yanazawa Kanan ordered the troops to charge more than a dirt slope, and Xiang Yihang and his third platoon were stationed here.

Xiang Yihang's originally full three platoons had less than twenty people left, and today was the fourth day of being surrounded. The heavy artillery regiment that was originally responsible for providing support stopped as soon as possible because of the use of shells, in fact, not to mention heavy artillery, they even ran out of mortar shells, and even the machine guns stopped because of the lack of bullets, but the attack of Hinamoto was still as fierce as ever.

"Brave soldiers die less on the battlefield than cowards!"

Xiang Yihang, who was already covered with wounds, thought of the words that the first company commander often said when he was a soldier in the 347th Division, at this time on the position in front of him, the originally flat ground was already a mess full of craters at this time, and next to Xiang Yihang was a G43 rifle that stabbed several Japanese soldiers to death in the noon battle, and the rifle turned purple and black because it was stained with blood.

By this time, the Japanese shelling had stopped, and although there were many people lying in front of the position, there was silence, because the dead could not speak. In front of the position of the third row, among the corpses of the Japanese soldiers also lay among the soldiers of the three rows who died, and the gray military uniform and the earthy yellow military uniform were clearly distinguished at this time. Although the uniforms of both sides were soaked in blood, some soldiers lay outside the trenches, their broken limbs apparently blown away by shells, and some still held rifles in their hands until they died, and they died fighting with the Japanese while fighting with bayonets.

"Hmm!"

Xiang Yihang listened to the groans around him, looked at the place where the sound came from beside him, and only saw that Li Manshui, the third squad leader under him, was biting a bandage with his teeth and tying it to his left arm, and only an empty sleeve was left in his left arm, Xiang Yihang could also see the blood dripping down the sleeve controllably, and Li Manshui's other right hand was still holding the M1911 pistol issued to non-commissioned officers by the Third Army, and the original gray military uniform had turned black and brown because of the condensation of blood.

"Platoon commander, how many days have we been holding out?"

Li Manshui, who looked unusually pale because of excessive blood loss, asked Yi Hang with a smile.

"It's the fourth day."

Glancing at Li Manshui, he said lightly to Yi Hang, he endured the pain of the wound on his body, leaned against the chest wall with his eyes half-closed, and tried to adjust his breathing, and did not have any emotional fluctuations because of Li Manshui's tragic situation. Coming out of the sea of corpses and blood, he knew very well that senseless excitement on the battlefield was useless. The kind of situation where you see a soldier falling next to you, rush over and hug someone, cry half to death, and then grind for a long time, and finally jump up excitedly, stand high with a machine gun in your arms and shoot forward, and it is only a movie made by the most idiotic director.

But all soldiers who have fought in war know that as long as you go to the battlefield, your life is no longer your own. How urgent the situation on the battlefield is, let alone comrades-in-arms, even if your own father dies in front of you, what should you do, what do you have to do.

Li Manshui asked again: "Platoon commander, how many people are there in our platoon?" ”

"There are still twenty-one people in the platoon who can still move." Xiang Yihang, who was wearing a bandage, closed his eyes and scolded impatiently after speaking: "Li Manshui, I said that you kid can stop a little, if you don't talk less, you will die!" ”

Li Manshui smiled bitterly: "Platoon commander, it's not that I want to speak, I'm afraid that I will fall asleep after I stop talking, and once I fall asleep, I'm afraid I won't be able to wake up again." ”

"You ......"

Xiang Yihang glared at him angrily, the whole platoon belonged to this kid who talked the most. In today's battle, the shells of the Japanese bombardment fell as if they did not need money, and each shell could kill or injure the soldiers next to them, and their positions were held until now by the lives of the soldiers of the whole platoon and the whole company.

In four days, from the first company to the third company where he is now, the commander of the unit is like adding fuel to the platoon, a squad to rush the brothers to this position, this not spacious position is like a life-devouring devil devouring the lives of Chinese and Japanese soldiers, although everyone knows that the tactics of adding fuel are the most stupid way, but at this time the commander can no longer care about anything else, because this position is already the highest commanding heights in the vicinity, if even this position is lost, Then the next battle will be even more difficult to fight.

"Platoon commander, when do you think our reinforcements will arrive?" Li Manshui asked again.

"How do I know?" Xiang Yihang said angrily: "Don't you see that the little devil is like crazy these days, sending a large number of planes every day to bomb us, if it weren't for our air force brothers desperately covering, I'm afraid our position would have been lost long ago."
