"Kill, give!" Toshishi Miura's saber swung vigorously in the direction of the Eighth Route Army's position. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Rush! His Majesty the Emperor onboard! Under the instigation of Toshishi Miura, the remaining soldiers of the 21st Brigade suddenly rose in morale as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and rushed towards the position of the Eighth Route Army again.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

"Dada......"

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army responded to the Japanese desperate charge with a never-ending supply of shells and machine guns, and they were also red-eyed, constantly firing shells and pulling triggers, never giving the Japanese a chance to get close to their positions.

The group charge of the 21st Brigade was not unbrave, but under the absolute firepower superiority of the Eighth Route Army, it was useless, and the artillery bombardment and strafing of the Eighth Route Army put the Japanese army in a desperate situation of death.

The brigade commander Toshishi Miura, who rushed to the back of the team, was as cold as ice, the casualties of the 21st Brigade were skyrocketing, and there was nothing he could do to stop it.

Miura Toshiji knew that his attack this time would probably end in failure, and the 21st Brigade not only did not rush into the position of the Eighth Route Army, but suffered more than half of the casualties, and at this time all the surviving forces of the Japanese army were already less than one wing.

"For today's plan, we can only break through, but the casualties of the 21st Brigade are so heavy, and the commander of the Itagaki Division doesn't know if he will blame me."

Toshinoshi Miura has completely accepted the reality of defeat at this moment, and now he is thinking about how to lead the troops to break out of the encirclement and obtain the forgiveness of the division commander, you must know that the Japanese army has always adopted a zero-tolerance attitude towards defeat on the battlefield, and once the front-line commander's troops suffer a crushing defeat in the war, no matter how many victories this unit has won and how many feats it has made, the commander of the unit who has suffered a heavy defeat often has to commit suicide to take responsibility.

"I have always regarded the commander of the Itagaki Division as the head of the horse, and I obeyed his words, hoping that he would forgive me for my failure and let me go." Toshitoshi Miura has no hope in his heart about the battle situation, and the only thing he is worried about is whether he will survive this war.

It's a pity that the reality is cruel, when Toshishi Miura retreated to the position with the only remaining 500 Japanese troops, Seishiro Itagaki looked at him coldly, and said coldly without a trace of emotion: "The 21st Brigade is over, why are you coming back?" As a warrior of the Imperial Army, you should take your responsibility and commit suicide! ”

Toshiyoshi Miura knew that he was finished, but he still gave the new chief of staff Hiroshi Nakagawa one last time, hoping that he could help him say good things, but Nakagawa Hiroshi turned his head to the other side and ignored him.

In despair, Toshiyoshi Miura pulled out his saber, closed his eyes and committed suicide by seppuku in his stomach, and finally used all his strength to yell out: "His Majesty the Emperor! He then fell to the ground and died.

Toshishi Miura's death was necessary in the eyes of Seishiro Itagaki, only Toshishi Miura took responsibility for the defeat, so after he fled back, he could put all the responsibility for the defeat on Toshiyoshi Miura, and now seeing that Toshiji Miura had seppuku as he wished, Seishiro Itagaki breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.

After the death of Toshishi Miura, Nakagawa Hirocai suggested: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, our troops are running out, and the firepower of the Eighth Route Army is too fierce, and we will definitely not be able to withstand it." As the old saying goes: stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, let's break through! ”

Itagaki Seishiro's eyes flashed with an extremely unwilling look, and the chief of staff said that the breakthrough sounded good, but in fact, it was just an escape. If he escapes, will his Fifth Division still have the face to say that he is the "flower of the imperial army"? It is estimated that the "shame of the imperial army" is about the same.

But in such a situation, Itagaki Seishiro had no choice at all, and he complained angrily: "Eight Geyalu! Why is this damn dirt eight roads so strong? It's not that our Fifth Division is incompetent, it's that the instructors are too strong. This failure is completely the fault of the super high class, they seriously underestimated the strength of the instructor, and we were cheated by them! ”

Nakagawa Hiroshi knew that Itagaki Seishiro had agreed to the proposal to break through, and now he was complaining just to shirk his responsibility and give himself a step down, so Nakagawa Hiroshi followed Itagaki Seishiro's words and said: "What Your Excellency the division commander said is that the defeat was never our fault, and we were guided by wrong intelligence to cause this defeat. ”

"Yo Xi, it's still Nakagawa-kun who can see it thoroughly, so be it. You immediately order the whole army to retreat immediately. Hum! As long as we can withdraw to Taiyuan and replenish the troops, this account will definitely be settled with the instructor! "Seishiro Itagaki borrowed the slope to go down the donkey road.

With the order of Seishiro Itagaki , the surviving Japanese troops retreated to the rear as if they were amnesty. There is no one who can force the beast-like Fifth Division to the point where it has to escape, except for the instructor.

"Damn Mentor, one day I will kill you all and use your blood to wash away today's shame!" Seishiro Itagaki swore fiercely in his heart.

"Your Excellency the division commander, do you want to inform the 108th Division of our retreat?" Chief of Staff Hiroshi Nakagawa asked cautiously.

Itagaki Seishiro's face turned red when he heard this, and after today, the reputation of the Fifth Division as the "flower of the imperial army" will be discredited, and the reputation of "Itagaki Guts" will also become a shameful joke.

"Huh......, in ancient China, there was a general Han Xin who endured the 'humiliation of the crotch', and finally became the 'soldier saint' who left a name in history, I'm Itagaki Seishiro today to follow the example of the ancients to endure the shame of defeat, one day, I will come back!"

Itagaki Seishiro took three deep breaths in a row before holding back his anger in his heart, and he said coldly to Nakagawa Hiroshi: "Report it, tell them not to go south for the time being, the strength of the instructor is far beyond our imagination, and if our imperial army wants to completely eliminate it, it will only be possible to encircle and suppress it with at least two complete divisions." ”

"Hay!" Hiroshi Nakagawa replied respectfully.

Li Yunlong, who was facing the enemy head-on, soon discovered that the Fifth Division was trying to retreat, and immediately reported to Zhang Cheng, who smiled coldly, and then ordered the Fourth Brigade and the divisional combat units that blocked the rear of the Japanese army to immediately block the enemy's retreat.

The crimes committed by the Fifth Division in the eight-year Sino-Japanese all-out war can be described as innumerable, and the tragedies and massacres it committed in China are no less than those of the 16th Division that committed the massacre in Nanjing.
