Chapter 963: The Dilemma of War

"Go and rest, leave me alone - save your energy to kill the devil!"

Han Xiaolei leaned against a broken wall to bandage his wounds, refusing the kindness of the guards next to him who wanted to help, and didn't care about the shells that kept exploding around, and his body was already red in several places, obviously because the soldiers had suffered heavy casualties in the previous battle, and the soldiers were extremely short of troops, and even he, the regiment commander, had to go into battle in person.

"Old Han, aren't you dead yet?"

At this moment, with a strange scream, Ding Shancat ran over and smiled, smiling exceptionally brightly, as if he had no fear of the fate that might almost wipe out the army.

"I'm not dead when you're dead!"

Han Xiaolei scolded angrily, but he couldn't help but think of his wife, and his eyes were slightly red: "If you can go back alive, remember that she should not be widowed for me, find a good family, and forget about my ......"

"Don't worry, if there is really this opportunity, I will definitely not let her be widowed for you!"

Ding Shan frowned and smiled: "Anyway, I haven't got married yet, let her make do with me when the time comes, they are all my own brothers, I will definitely help you take care of her, you can go with confidence......"

"Get out!"

Han Xiaolei scolded when he heard this, and his sad mood was relieved a lot because of this, and he asked instead, "How is the situation over there?" ”

"The little devil's offensive is too fierce, and our regiment has been seriously attrition......"

Ding Shan couldn't laugh anymore, whether it was the regiment commander, he couldn't laugh when he saw his subordinates lose more than half of their troops in half of the night, and most of them didn't die in front of the battle but were blown to pieces by the fierce artillery fire.

"I'm almost ...... on my side."

Han Xiaolei said: "Now there are gaps everywhere on the city wall, and our manpower is no longer enough to support the defense, it is estimated that in the next wave of attacks, the city wall will be lost, and it will be over by then......

"What are you afraid of, without the city wall, we will fight in the streets, and if we want to annihilate us completely, we can, but we have to make these little devils pay enough price!"

Ding Shan roared viciously, looking at the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side who were about to move, his eyes were full of cold light like hungry wolves, as if he wanted to pounce on them and bite off the other party's neck.

"Yaga!"

Tsuneoka Kanji was also viciously staring at Datong, which was almost in ruins, gritting his teeth, and the superior artillery fire coupled with waiting for work, the eight roads in the city of less than 3,000 were enough to block the division he led for a full eight hours, which was simply a great shame for him.

"This group of damn Balu is crazy, crazy!"

Several staff officers were also roaring, they thought that they could take Taiyuan with lightning speed, but they didn't expect that this group of eight-way fighting spirit was extremely tenacious, and the firepower was much stronger than the eight-way ones they encountered before, not only blocking their crazy attack, but also causing them heavy casualties, in just a few hours, there were nearly a thousand casualties.

Such a result is simply unacceptable to them.

"Although these eight roads are extremely tenacious, it is a miracle that they have been able to hold on until now - as soon as the artillery fire stops, order the whole army to attack and defeat them in one fell swoop!"

Although he was also angry, he knew that as the commander of the division, anger alone could never solve any problems, and only by suppressing anger, judging the situation, and grasping the fighter to command the battle at any time could he control the opportunity.

"Your Excellency Lieutenant General is right, in the next wave of attacks, our division will definitely be able to annihilate all the eight roads in the city!"

Many staff officers said that although the last wave of attacks was still repulsed, they could also see that the Eighth Route in the city was already at the end of the crossbow, and they could no longer hold on.

"How's the progress on the cavalry wing's side?" Kanji Toneoka asked.

"The Eighth Road is over, most of the Eighth Road of Hunyuan has gone to our side, and wants to break through the Eight Road to support the city from the side, and now, Hunyuan is an empty city!"

Several staff officers said with a cruel smile: "The cavalry wing has been rapidly approaching Hunyuan, and in less than two hours, it will be able to reach Hunyuan, and the senior officials of the Eighth Route from Yan'an will die this time!" ”

"That's good!"

Toneoka Kanji said: "Order the troops, before the Eighth Route reinforcements arrive, take Datong, and then carry out a devastating attack on the Eighth Route that rushed to the aid - this time our division will not only want the heads of the Eighth Route high-ranking officials from Yan'an, but also annihilate all the Eighth Routes that dare to sneak attack Datong, so that these people who dare to harass our imperial army behind their backs will know what the fate is like to go against our Great Japanese Empire!" ”

"Yes, after this time, I think these eight roads should be more honest!"

"After the annihilation of these Eight Roads, our backs will be much more stable, and when the Battle of Wuhan is over, we will clear Trojan Horse County, and after doing this, we will be able to focus all our energy on the frontal battlefield...... Without the harassment of these forces, the Chiang government would not be able to bear it for long and beg for mercy! ”

Many staff officers laughed and said: "When the time comes, the war will end as soon as possible, and we will be able to go home......"

Hearing the word "go home", all the Japanese soldiers present, whether it was Tsuneoka Kanji or ordinary soldiers, couldn't help but have their eyes lit up, with infinite expectations.

The war has been going on for more than a year now, although the war is winning one after another, but all the Japanese troops have felt deeply tired, not only because they don't know when the war will end, but also because they found that as the war progresses, the resistance of the Chinese people has become more and more fierce, and the casualties of the imperial soldiers have increased every battle!

What's even more terrifying is that they obviously feel that as the war progresses, the necessary war materials are becoming more and more scarce, and they no longer give as much as they did when the war first started, and according to the news from their relatives in China, everyone in the country is starving for this war, and they are sending supplies to the battlefield with limited food and clothing.

It can be said that the hardships of the people in the country are probably not much different from those of these people.

These are all things they never expected before.

Almost every Japanese soldier began to worry that if the war was not over, the empire's economy might collapse at some point.

But now, even if they want to end this war, it is no longer possible, because when the time comes, the people of China will not only not agree to maintain the current situation, but will even ask them to spit out the three northeastern provinces that they have been operating for many years!

Once the wheel of war is activated, it is difficult to stop.

For both China and Japan, this is a dilemma war, and unless one side completely surrenders, there will never be an end.

Thinking of this, everyone's mood was extremely heavy, because they realized that the casualties of the imperial soldiers since the beginning of the war may have just begun, and when it is over, they don't know how many soldiers will be buried in the Far East, and they will never be able to return to their hometowns again, and they will no longer be able to see their longing relatives.
