At noon on July 6, the 1st Armored Brigade finally waited for the support of the two divisions of the Marine Corps that broke through the sea of Japanese troops, the rear route was opened, the logistics unit sent tank parts, fuel and ammunition, and transported the wounded soldiers, the armored brigade was rejuvenated, of course, they would never give up the infantry alone in the depths, in their eyes, the infantry brothers of the Marine Corps were as lovely as the air force brothers in the sky.

When the commander of the group army headquarters breathed a sigh of relief, a piece of bad news once again raised the generals' throats: Air Force reconnaissance showed that a relatively complete unit was advancing in the northeast direction of the encirclement, with a number of about 10,000 and relatively strong firepower, but it was not clear which unit -- the Japanese army, under the wanton and indiscriminate bombardment of the Air Force, finally came up with a preliminary method for air defense operations, that is, to mount heavy machine guns and shoot at the air, and the 14 th Division had many heavy machine guns, and the reconnaissance fighters originally flew very low. After being suddenly attacked, he immediately pulled up and left, and barely flew back to the airport.

This intelligence shows two messages: First, the air force cannot continue to wreak havoc in the air, and it must raise its combat awareness and prevent the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower. The second is that the Japanese army has hidden an elite unit, which should be the 14th Division, and they have not participated in the battle, judging from the current marching route, is it trying to break through?

Since the landing, the Chinese army has not encountered a strong force, and most of the time it has been fighting against the Japanese mobilized troops, and it is not easy to catch a standing division, how can it be spared!

The group army immediately ordered the troops in the Similian area to prepare for defense, the troops on both flanks moved closer to Similian, and the 1st Division of the 2nd Army, which had returned to support the armored brigade, immediately marched to the Similian area, striving to encircle and annihilate the 14th Division in Similian.

The advance of the 1st Division of the 2nd Army was not smooth, and the path was full of potholes, which did not appear to have been created by the air force, but which the enemy could dig to stop the advance of the Chinese army. The first division was the motorized infantry division. After the road was damaged, the speed of the march was greatly reduced, and there was no time to repair the road, so the 1st Division let the infantry get off the vehicles and continue to advance, and the trucks and other sappers carrying heavy equipment and logistics supplies behind them continued to advance after resting on the road.

The two regiments of the 1st Division, which took the lead in advance, encountered a vast minefield in front of them, and it was troublesome to clear the mines, and it seemed that the 14th Division was taking great pains to block the reinforcements. The sappers probed. The minefield is very wide, and if you take a detour, it cannot be ruled out that there are minefields in other places, so let's be patient.

In charge of the Similian area is the Second Infantry Regiment of the Third Division of the Second Army, which was originally going to attack, so it did not build fortifications, and now it has received an order from the headquarters, saying that it is about to face the attack of a division, and the regiment commander Zhang Xidong immediately ordered the construction of a single bunker, and the soldiers wielded an engineer shovel and just completed a simple bunker. The 14th Division arrived.

The defensive surface of the Second Regiment was more than 4,000 meters long, and the excessively long defensive line made the strength of the Second Regiment thin, and it lost its defensive depth.

Sergeant Jiao Shaoxin of the first squad of the second platoon of the third company of the third battalion of the second regiment aimed at a Japanese soldier and fired decisively, but the distance was too far and did not hit the nimble enemy. Jiao Shaoxin lowered his head and pulled the bolt. Aim at the soldier again, this time the bullet hits the enemy. Then he heard a "whoosh" and a bullet flew past his left side.

The Japanese machine guns were not a big threat, and most of them were suppressed by their own heavy firepower, or mortar shells were sent into the sky, and Sergeant Jiao Shaoxin was threatened by the accurate marksmanship of the Japanese army, even if there was a single bunker. There are still quite a few comrades-in-arms who were hit. The regimental medical soldiers behind him were nervously shuttling through the position, and the stretcher soldiers carried the wounded comrades down, and then treated them in the field hospital.

The Japanese offensive was fierce. The approaching Japanese soldiers were repelled by the grenade, but the ones behind followed closely, Jiao Shaoxin had already finished firing the second magazine, and as soon as he replaced the third, he heard his platoon commander shouting: "First shift, deliver ammunition to the machine gun!" ”

The machine gun is the core of the position, and it is also the unit that consumes the most ammunition, Jiao Shaoxin followed the squad leader to bend down and run to the rear of the position, there are no criss-crossing communication trenches on the simple position, whether it is a medical soldier, a signal soldier or a soldier transporting ammunition, they have to bear greater danger than the soldiers in the bunker.

Running rapidly at a distance of 100 meters back and forth, Jiao Shaoxin felt that his physical strength was consumed a lot in the process of transporting ammunition, and the ammunition box did not bring much burden to himself, mainly due to psychological pressure, but fortunately, he returned to the individual bunker smoothly, and was about to shoot, when a figure suddenly pressed towards Jiao Shaoxin.

The pressure from the rear made Jiao Shaoxin startled, and he lifted up the body that was pressing on him, this was a medical soldier who was unfortunately hit by the enemy. Jiao Shaoxin immediately shouted loudly: "Medical soldiers, there are wounded here!" ”

"Send him back to the rear for treatment!" His squad leader didn't look back when he heard it, and shouted loudly. There was only one medic in the second platoon nearby, and if he was wounded, where could he find another medic?

Jiao Shaoxin gritted his teeth, crawled out of the bunker, and then dragged the wounded medical soldier out, and he ran to the rear on his back, bullets whizzing by, and finally, Jiao Shaoxin arrived at the field hospital. As soon as the hospital soldier took the wounded on his back, Jiao Shaoxin felt lucky to find that the wounded man had died - the wounded soldier had been hit in the back by a bullet on the way to and from the hospital.

The losses of the 2nd Regiment were increasing and the position was not stabilized until another infantry regiment came to support, the 14th Division's attempt to break through was blocked, and the 2nd Regiment successfully completed its mission.

Just when the headquarters of the group army was also rejoicing, the Chinese army's position four thousand meters north of Similia was broken through, and only one company of soldiers could not stop the Japanese charge at all, especially since they also had a cavalry wing!

It turned out that only an infantry brigade of the 14th Division was attacking Similia, and Major General Takasaki led the rest of the troops to quietly go around to the north of Similia, and launched an attack by the cavalry wing regardless of casualties, breaking through the Chinese position in an instant and successfully breaking through.

Although it had an absolute advantage, the Japanese army with about 100,000 troops besieging up to 150,000 and fighting frantically was still a bit overbearing, and the Japanese army found the weak point in the encirclement and opened the gap, and finally the 14th Division of the Japanese army successfully escaped, which made this battle seem less perfect.

The frontal battlefield is bloody and bloody, and the conspiracy and calculations in the secret are also white-hot, and at the headquarters of the Tokyo Black Dragon Society, high-level officials such as Toyama Man, Uchida Ryohei, and Inoue Tengichiro are sitting in a circle, and the atmosphere is dull and serious.

"This is what the Prime Minister of Xiyuan Temple said to me, everyone, where will the Black Dragon go, why don't you speak freely, after all, we are likely not to survive tomorrow!" Tou Shan, one of the founders of the Black Dragon Society, said solemnly.

"I can understand Prime Minister Saionji's thoughts, and it is very likely that this is the intention of His Majesty the Emperor and Aritomo Yamaguchi, Hirobumi Ito, and others. It's just that I'm not reconciled, I waited for the rise of the Japanese Empire to work hard, but in the end it ended up like this, and finally saw that the empire was thriving, and now it is facing such a big predicament, can't we see the day when the empire will seize the Heilongjiang River valley after all?! Uchida Ryohei said sadly, after speaking, everyone cried in a low voice, and the Saionji Gongwang summoned Toushan Man, hoping that the Black Dragon Society could be disbanded on the spot, and the upper echelons committed suicide by disembowelment, as the basis for peace talks between Japan and China.

Such a request is really unacceptable to the members of the Black Dragon Society, but Toushan Man, Uchida Ryohei and others all know that Hua Guo is deeply hurt by the Black Dragon Society, and they know that the Black Dragon Society is the culprit who assassinated Lu Liang, and they want to get rid of it as soon as possible. And they are aware of the current predicament that Japan is facing.

"The death we wait for can be exchanged for the respite of the empire, and the death we wait for is exchanged for the re-emergence of the empire, I, Toushanman, am willing to sacrifice my life for the empire!" Tou Shanman was the first to express his position, and his emotions were stagnant with sadness, and everyone's eyes gradually became firm, for the future of the empire, what is his life!

"We must die, but the Black Dragon Society cannot be completely disbanded, we have a large number of spies in China, in the Northeast, and in Russia to provide intelligence for the empire, and the Black Dragon Society still has a lot of industries, countless peripheral personnel, these are all valuable assets for the empire, those people are all outstanding talents who are completely loyal to the empire and the emperor, and they must be inherited!" Ryohei Uchida is already thinking about the future.

"We can rest assured that the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang promised that the Presbyterian Church would accept those forces, and the spirit of the Black Dragon Society would continue to be passed on, then, it's time for me to go on the road with my head full of mountains, please be my intermediary." After saying that, Toyama slowly aimed the katana that had already been wiped at the lower abdomen, then inserted it and slashed horizontally, and then endured the severe pain and slashed vertically, and a perfect cross took away Toyamamitsu's life.

Immediately after that, Uchida Ryohei, Inoue Tengichiro and other high-level leaders successively disemboweled, and these extreme militarists all committed suicide under the persecution of the form, and the Black Dragon Society was destroyed. (To be continued.) )
