,, heavy gasp,. Qb (5), COM\ Guan Yu took a few stunned daggers to the position, and ran into a group of devils head-on, these devils saw a group of officers coming up, Lihai pounced fiercely, but was quickly knocked down by the 39 style, and before they could come to their senses, the knife flashed. A strong wind rushed straight to Guan Hu's neck, Guan Hu hurriedly jumped back, clenched the 39 rifle in his hand, the strong wind turned into cold air and found his left rib, Guan Hu didn't have time to shoot, he jumped out hard, the knife and gun were handed over first, and there was a crisp sound.

After breaking the devil's knife, Guan Hu saw clearly that the devil in front of him was an officer with a beard on his face, the officer held the knife with both hands, and his eyes shot fiercely, without waiting for Guan Hu to make the next move, he commanded the knife to raise and pounce again, Guan Hu pulled the trigger, and the 39 style made an empty sound, and the bullet ran out.

The knife light quickly hung down diagonally from left to right, Guan Hu collapsed a little panicked, the knife and gun made a piercing impact sound again, Guan Hu took a step forward and approached the devil, the 39-type semi-automatic rifle is relatively short, which is not conducive to assassination, and the Japanese command knife is relatively long, and it is not conducive to fighting when it is close.

The devil officer has a lot of experience in fighting, and after being leaned up by Guan Hu, he did not panic, the two stared at each other face to face, and the breath exhaled from his mouth sprayed directly into each other's faces, and suddenly, the two pushed each other away at the same time, just for a moment, the devil officer pounced again, commanding the knife from the bottom to the top, and pushed it to Guan Hu's lower abdomen, Guan Hu saw the knife clearly, and the three nine guns were blocked hard, and the foot moved forward, and the other party was pulled out two meters away with one kick, and then quickly pulled out the shell gun, raised his hand to be a shot, and a few blood flowers bloomed on the chest of the devil officer.

It is clear that the rank of this officer is not low. After several devil soldiers saw that he was killed, they howled and rushed towards Guan Hu, Guan Hu's muzzle moved, shot continuously, and killed all the devils who pounced, and then took advantage of the short gap to quickly replace the magazine of the 39 rifle, and pulled the bolt to push the bullet into loading.

Guan Hu had a barge gun in one hand and a semi-automatic rifle in the other, and with two guards, he beat the devils who rushed in front of him to the back of his horses, and then pounced on the breakthrough, set up machine guns to block the breakthrough, and the devils who were cut off from the position were quickly eliminated by the soldiers.

After repelling the devil's attack, the sky was already bright, and the soldiers began to quickly clear their positions, Guan Hu let out a long breath, loudly taught to count the number of people, and immediately hidden, ready to meet the devil's next attack.

"Chief Ben! Chief of staff! ”

Guan Hu was shocked, and hurriedly passed, Yang Xingpeng's eyes were closed, and purple intestines flowed out of his stomach that had been cut open by the bayonet, and a soldier was trying to stuff the intestines back into his stomach. Guan Hu sighed softly and patted him on the shoulder. "He's dead. Someone, send the body of the chief of staff down

Two soldiers ran out from behind Guan Hu. Lifting Yang Xingpeng's body and walking down the mountain, Guan Hu turned around and beckoned everyone to hurry up and hide, ready to meet the devil's next attack. Guan Hu's mood was very heavy, he repelled the attack of the devils, and paid the price of more than 20 people, and now there are less than 30 people left on the position, and if there is another such attack, there will be no one on the position.

To Guan Hu's surprise, after the dawn, the devil's attack never started, and the entire outer battlefield of Meimiao suddenly became calm, and the lack of rumbling artillery made all the soldiers in the fierce battle a little uncomfortable for a while.

Lu Ruishan and Yu Chengwan were a little puzzled why Tanaka Shinichi stopped the attack at this time, but they didn't have time to think about it, taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army stopped attacking, Lu Ruishan led the independent brigade to quickly evacuate Meimiao and move north.

The Japanese army slowly advanced to the rear of Meimiao, and did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and everything seemed a little strange. Could it be that the Japanese army abandoned Watanabe like this? Lu Ruishan and Yu Chengwan, who were retreating north, didn't have time to think about it, they retreated to the Moya River Valley with their troops with heavy casualties.

All the weirdness seemed normal to Li Anding, and he attacked fiercely at Shinichi Tanaka. With Zhuang Jihua's consent, Li Anding carefully designed a deceptive operation, the key of which was to convince Ji Feixiang that the expeditionary force was leading Tanaka Shinichi to Lashio step by step, and that the Fifth Army had been assembled in Xiao Town. The reason why Watanabe has not been completely wiped out is to attract Tanaka to take the bait.

In order to convince Ji Feixiang, Li Anding and Zhuang Jihua also jointly formulated a battle plan, in which it was clearly stipulated that before Tanaka Shinichi attacked Papani Mountain, the Watanabe Group must not be completely annihilated, and once Tanaka Shinichi attacked Papani Mountain. immediately annihilated Watanabe, and the 58th Army, together with the New Eighth Army, guarded Papani Mountain and consumed the Tanaka Group; The Fifth Army was concealed in the Hukang River valley north of Lashio, and after annihilating Watanabe, the 103rd Army, together with the 66th Army, carried out a counter-penetration, conquered Mandalay in a roundabout way, completely encircled and annihilated the Tanaka group, and turned the tide of the war in Burma in one fell swoop.

This battle plan fell into the hands of Ji Feixiang, Ji Feixiang didn't dare to believe it completely, and she didn't dare to believe it completely, the Fifth Army had really assembled in Wrist Town? Ji Feixiang's hesitation was completely grasped by Li Anding, so a liaison officer of the 200th Division arrived in Lashio, and accidentally let Ji Feixiang know that some of the oil was secretly transported north from the difficult materials, and dozens of cars loaded with gasoline and diesel secretly drove out of Lashio in the middle of the night, which made Ji Feixiang finally believe in Li Anding's battle plan.

Ji Feixiang's intelligence flew to Mandalay, and Iiaki Shojiro couldn't believe it after receiving the telegram, the squadron has such a big appetite? Annihilation of 80,000 imperial troops at once? Confused, he ordered Tanaka Shinichi to slow down the attack, and at the same time forwarded the telegram to Terauchi Shouichi, asking Terauchi Shouichi to try to verify the content of the information.

Iida's order made Tanaka breathe a sigh of relief, don't look at the ferocious offensive of Tanaka, but the casualties of the troops were extremely large, the 35th Division and the 33rd Division lost more than half, the 18th Division has been the main attack, and the losses have also exceeded 30%, and the losses of the 55th Division have also reached 20%, in addition to the shortage of ammunition, all departments are urging shells, but the transportation is very unsmooth, in addition to the destruction of the first squadron when retreating, it is also frequently attacked, and the materials transported up cannot meet the requirements at all.

Terauchi Shouichi was very uneasy when he received the information from Iida, Zhuang Jihua left too deep an impression on him, during the first Jinpu Road battle, no one in the North China Dispatch Army believed that Zhuang Jihua dared to target the entire Second Army, but in the end, the Second Army fled north in a hurry under the city of Xuzhou, one division was completely annihilated, most of the other division was annihilated, and the commanders of the two divisions were killed, creating the worst defeat of the Japanese army since the Meiji Restoration.

However, Terauchi Shouichi did not dare to believe this information easily, he immediately contacted the intelligence department of the military department, and the intelligence department quickly reported back, the Chongqing government had ordered the transfer of the Fifth Group Army on the Yunnan-Guizhou border to western Yunnan half a month ago

The two pieces of information corroborate each other, and Terauchi Shou believed in the accuracy of Ji Feixiang's information at first, but was Watanabe really hopeless? It was difficult for Terauchi Shouichi to give up, the battle under Lashio Castle had already attracted the attention of Tokyo, and when the successes on various fronts were frequent, Watanabe's danger was particularly eye-catching, and Emperor Hirohito had asked about the progress of the war in Burma several times, and was strongly concerned about the situation of the Watanabe group, which made Terauchi Shouichi dare not easily make the decision to abandon Watanabe.

With the exception of opening access from land, other efforts to rescue Watanabe have failed. On the one hand, the entire Southern Army's supplies were already tight, and the main task of the Southern Army's next step was to occupy the East Indies, and the already scarce supplies had to be left for this operation, so it was impossible to provide more supplies to Watanabe; In addition, the airborne operation, which has turned into a disaster, the transport plane lost its square in the clouds and fog over Myanmar, and it was completely impossible to find the airdrop area, and did not dare to easily airdrop it, in the process of finding the airdrop site, the two transport planes collided, and then were attacked by the Chinese and US air forces. A dozen planes were shot down, and before they were dropped, the airborne brigade had less than half of its strength left. In the end, the whole operation had to be abandoned.

"Order Iida, Mandalay must leave at least one division of troops." Shouichi Terauchi finally decided that he still wanted to continue the offensive and relieve Watanabe. In order to cope with the dangerous situation that might arise in the future, Terauchi Shouichi urgently sent the 46th and 38th Divisions from the troops preparing to attack the East Indies to Burma, and at the same time asked Tokyo to increase the strength of the Southern Army, at least five more divisions.

Shinichi Tanaka delayed for half a day to resume the offensive, and the troops attacking north were missing the 35th Division. In view of the heavy losses of the 35th Division, Iida decided to leave it in Mandalay for repair, and the 86th Wing that remained in Mao Tam Kam was urgently rebuilt.

Half a day is not a long time, but it is enough for the whole battle. The New Eighth Army erected fortifications in the Moya River Valley, while the Luruishan One-Acting Brigade withdrew directly to Papani Mountain.

The situation in Yu Chengwan's place eased, and Zhuang Jihua began to devote all his energy to the annihilation of Watanabe. After the 58th Army was fully engaged in the offensive, Watanabe could no longer maintain the integrity of the battle line, "After a day of hard fighting, the Concave Division and the Cylinder Division finally broke through the junction of the 22nd Division and the 56th Division, and quickly split the 22nd Division and the 56th Division.

Ota Katsukai sat weakly under a big tree that was blown up, even from the remaining stumps, it can be seen that this is a hundred-year-old tree, the sound of artillery and gunfire has been getting closer and closer, only the chief of staff with the chief of communications and a few guards around him, and the others are all engaged in the front-line battle.

Before the words of the chief of staff of "Your Excellency" were finished, Ota shook his head, the chief of staff knew why, they could no longer find reinforcements, Watanabe was now too busy to take care of himself, the two wings below had been divided and surrounded, and the total number of the entire division was less than five thousand, of which at least a third were wounded.

The shouting and killing of the squadron ** is getting closer and closer, the artillery has stopped, only the explosion of rockets remains, Ota knows that this is the Chinese are worried about accidental injury, so he no longer fires, only uses close-range fire, and destroys the Japanese fire points one by one. But Ota knew that there were no more bullets left in the chambers of these machine gun grenadiers, and the last ammunition they fired.

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

With the chanting, there was an explosion, and none of the officers present turned their heads slightly, and then there were several more hoorays, and each time there was an explosion after it, and Ota sighed softly, he knew that it was the wounded who chose to commit suicide.

Looking at the afternoon sun, Ota estimated that they could not keep the night anymore, he could not blame his soldiers, they had done their best, and in the absence of food and ammunition, six days were enough to make him proud.

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor" came from the intercom, followed by a crisp gunshot, and the chief of staff said in despair, "It's Captain Sakigoshi." ”

Ota stood up, as if he had put down a thousand pounds of burden: "It's my turn." ”

The adjutant spread a white cloth under the tree, and Katsukai Ota sat on the white cloth, unbuttoned his military uniform, revealing a somewhat shriveled belly, and pulled out the ribs. Stuck in his stomach, the pain causing large beads of sweat to pour out of his head, the adjutant swung his knife and cut off his head, then pulled out his pistol and shot him in the temple.

"Order, the ministries can break out on their own." The Chief of Staff gave the last order, and with this order, the organized resistance of the 22nd Division completely collapsed.

"Bang Bang"

Officers at the divisional headquarters shot themselves one after another.

After Watanabe received Ota's farewell message, he didn't speak, he was nervously calculating in his heart, after the destruction of the 22nd Division, the squadron was bound to besiege his 56th Division with all its might, and there were more troops to block Tanaka Shinichi's reinforcements, and there was no hope for the division to break the siege.

"Your Excellency, what shall we do?" Chief of Staff Takeda's desperate look showed that he had seen through the entire battle.

"It's impossible for the entire division to break out," Watanabe said slowly, squinting at the direction of the shell explosion before continuing: "Only by scattering and breaking through, but in this case, most of the soldiers will be wiped out by the Shina people, and besides, this is the jungle, even if you get out of the encirclement of the Shina people, it will be difficult to get out of the jungle." ”

"That" Takeda was a little overwhelmed. "It is a day to be able to drag it out, and tell the soldiers that the time has come to dedicate themselves to the empire, fight bravely to kill the enemy, and see you at the Yasukuni Shrine." Watanabe's demeanor was unusually resolute.

"But" Takeda still did not give up, Watanabe interrupted him: "Once the Chinese annihilate our army, the entire Burma war situation is under their control, General Tanaka has only four divisions, once the British army counterattacks from the west, and the Chinese attack from the north, I am afraid that the imperial army will have to withdraw from Burma, and we hold on here to win time for the imperial army to hold Burma." ”

Takeuchi was speechless, he really hoped that Watanabe would order the troops to disperse and break through, he didn't believe that in this jungle, the encirclement of the Shina people was so tight, and some people would always be able to escape.

By evening, the gunfire in the direction of the 22nd Division gradually subsided, and the fierce attack of the squadron also stopped, and they were methodically tightening the encirclement. Get ready for the final blow tomorrow.
