"Your Excellency, Division Commander, don't think about it too much, it is said that the Imperial Army of this empire is invincible. Today we will lose because we lose the advantage in firepower. In front of the large number of artillery of the Eighth Route Army, we can only be passively beaten... Your Excellency, Division Commander, now is not the time to think about this issue, as long as you are still here, our 14th Division will still be there. Sooner or later, we will come back for revenge. Your Excellency, the commander of the division, please immediately lead the troops to break through the encirclement...", the chief of staff replied in a loud voice.

"Sano-kun, maybe we started a war, it was a bad decision at all. It is said that after losing the cover of artillery fire, the imperial army is so vulnerable... And we say that this empire is a country with very few resources, and there are simply not so many resources to make more artillery and shells...."The division commander still muttered to himself, completely ignoring the already anxious chief of staff in front of him.

"Please don't think too much about it, Your Excellency, the commander of the division, this empire will definitely achieve the final victory. Division commander, I beg you to break through immediately, and I will definitely take the remaining troops to resolutely block the attack of the Eighth Route Army and cover your successful breakthrough. Chief of Staff Sano Osaku replied anxiously.

"Sano-kun, it's too late, we can't break through...."As he spoke, the division commander, Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara, slowly picked up his command knife and walked towards the door of the headquarters. As soon as the division commander finished speaking, an earth-shattering explosion was heard outside the headquarters.

"Baga, it's shelling, the Eighth Route Army has started shelling again. It's not fair... The cunning Eighth Route Army has the ability to have a face-to-face decisive battle with the Imperial Army, Baga..."Listening to the constant explosions outside the headquarters, I felt the constantly trembling headquarters headquarters. Chief of Staff Sano Osa's face couldn't help but turn pale. Because he knew what would happen to his troops at this moment, if they were shelled like that again... It turned out that just after the soldiers occupied the second line of blocking positions of the Yue army, the more than 20,000 soldiers of the entire army stopped attacking under Wang Nanhu's order. At this moment, the army was compressed into a narrow area of less than two kilometers because it had lost its second line of defense. In this small area, the remaining thousands of little devils of the army were gathered, which shows the density of the army at this moment.

Looking at the dense little devils on the battlefield, Wang Nanhu knew that even if a dog was in a hurry, he would jump off the wall, not to mention the remaining thousands of little devils who had reached the stage of madness, they were more terrible than dogs. In order to allow the troops to avoid heavy casualties in the final offensive phase. Wang Nanhu wisely decided that the troops would stop the offensive and prepare to use their last trump card, nine tanks of an armored battalion, to eliminate the last few thousand little devils..."In the midst of the dense artillery fire, the remaining 4,000 little devils around the headquarters of the division and regiment were like a small boat in the sea, constantly rising and falling. One by one, the little devils, in the artillery fire, turned into soft corpses, and even worse, they were directly blown into a pile of minced meat.

However, although the artillery fire fired by the fighters was very dense. However, the remaining 4,000 little devils are either the most elite guard units of the division or veterans who have survived many artillery fires. Although, the intensive artillery fire continued to kill and injure the living forces of the army, and constantly destroyed the fortifications on the last blocking position of the army. However, the most elite soldiers of the little devils survived intact without any damage.

"Sano-kun, order the remaining troops to resist on the spot. Today is the time for our 14th Division to collectively break jade for the empire and His Majesty the Emperor. Therefore, the soldiers who are still able to continue fighting are ordered to hold their positions, fight to the death, and vow to live and die with their positions. Seeing that the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army had begun to extend, after seeing the entire position, after the intensive artillery fire just now, there were still more than 2,000 soldiers left, and the division commander, Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara, ordered with a resolute face.

"Hey, Your Excellency the Division Commander, I swear to live and die with the position, Your Excellency the Division Commander, I have gone to the front line, please give me a lot of guarantees..." Chief of Staff Sano Osaku knew that the division commander in front of him had made up his mind and would not retreat. Immediately, without any hesitation, he drew his lieutenant general's command knife and rushed out of the division headquarters.

And at this moment, there are more than 2,000 little devil veterans left on the battlefield. Without any orders from the commander, he quickly hid in the nearest shell crater and was ready for battle... Because they knew that behind them was the division headquarters, and they did not receive any orders from the division commander to retreat, which meant that the division commander intended to live and die with him, for the empire, for His Majesty the Emperor... Thinking of the division commander behind him who was ready to advance and retreat with him, the faces of these little devils immediately showed a trace of determination to die. One by one, the little devils were lying in the crater, holding the weapons in their hands tightly, staring at the front of them with a pair of eyes, waiting for the arrival of the Eighth Route Army

However, to the surprise of these little devils, just one minute after the end of the Eighth Route Army's shelling, the Eighth Route Army was not seen charging. In front of him, in addition to the wounded soldiers who kept wailing on the ground, there were piles of fires that were smoking... Nothing. And just when the remaining more than 2,000 little devils were puzzled, an accident happened.

Suddenly, a noisy engine roar reached his ears, and then, the battlefield, which had just been pitch black, was immediately illuminated by several bright lights. Then, the earth also began to slowly tremble in the roar.

Feeling the dazzling lights and the constantly trembling earth, the little devil lying in the crater quickly raised his head and looked forward. I saw that 9 steel monsters that were constantly roaring lined up and slowly drove towards the crater where they were. At the same time, the two vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns on the tank were clinging to the ground, constantly spitting out hot tongues of fire. The flying bullets, like a climbing plow, swept around the positions of the Japanese army, killing and injuring the living forces of the Japanese army.

"Ah, Baga, it's a tank, how can the Eighth Route Army have tanks?" Looking at the steel monster that was quickly driving towards him in front of him, the little devil lying in the crater let out a desperate roar almost at the same time. However, there are still a small number of little devils who have been completely influenced by the spirit of bushido, and not only do they not have any desperate looks on their faces, but instead show an expression of eagerness.

"Baga is the tank of the Eighth Route Army. Yours, take the troops, immediately blow up the tanks of the Eighth Route Army, and go immediately..."In the sound of orders, these eager little devils, one after another, rushed out of the crater where they were hiding with explosive bags one after another, ready to use their own flesh and blood to blow up these tanks of the Eighth Route Army that were getting closer and closer to them.

However, after many actual battles, coupled with the guidance of Liu Hua, a military expert from later generations. To a certain extent, the tactics of the Reader's Butan Coordination are even much higher than those of the Yue Army of this era. Facing the little devil daredevils who are holding explosives bags and quickly coming back to themselves. Without any panic or hesitation, the heavy machine gunners on the tank immediately turned their guns and fired raindrops of heavy machine gun bullets into the bodies of these little devils.

A burst of bullets into the body sounded, and more than a dozen little devils who quickly rushed towards the tank fell in a pool of blood before they could break through the distance of ten meters, and turned into corpses motionless. Of course, the determination of the little devils to blow up the tank will not be abandoned by the death of a dozen soldiers.

Just when the heavy machine gunner inside the tank was just about to breathe a sigh of relief. Dozens of more little devils, from different directions, suddenly jumped up from the crater and quickly rushed towards the tank.

"Da Da Da Da..." looked at the little devil daredevils who were swarming towards their tanks. The Heavy quickly turned his gun around and poured ammunition at the approaching imps at his fastest firing speed. However, there are too many little devils this time, and the formation of their attack is too scattered, with only two heavy machine guns on the tank, they will definitely not be able to stop these little devils, and they will not be able to charge at a time.

Just when dozens of little devils had just fallen almost half of their troops, they had already charged to a distance of less than thirty meters from the tank. It only takes a blink of an eye for a few tanks to be blown into a pile of scrap metal under the attack of these human bombs of the little devils.

However, whether the wish of the little devil daredevils can be fulfilled is a question for the soldiers who are following closely behind the nine tanks... Seeing the front of the tank, the little devil lying on the ground preparing to test the plane to blow up the tank. The fighters who followed closely behind the tanks immediately took their weapons and fired a deadly bullet from the gap between the tanks at the little devil lying on the ground dozens of meters away. What's more, the grenades emitting green smoke directly crossed the tank and threw them into the crater where the little devil was hidden... "Under the combined attack of rifles and grenades of the infantry behind the tanks. Dozens of little devil daredevils who were dreaming well, with a trace of unwillingness, all fell in a pool of blood. As for the nine fast-moving tanks, they didn't even touch them.

"Baga, how can the Eighth Route Army have such a skillful infantry and tan coordination tactics, impossible, absolutely impossible, could it be that the empire has really declined..."Looking at the daredevils of nearly 100 people in front of him, they didn't even touch the tank, and they all fell on the way to charge. The chief of staff, Sano Osa, who had just arrived at the position, couldn't help but show a look of disbelief, and muttered to himself... However, at this moment, there is no time to shock him. Because just now, when he brandished his bright command knife and ordered the daredevils to charge. The reflection of the command knife has already revealed his position very well. Just when he was shocked by the scene in front of him, a tank quickly stopped, and the black hole tank gun also quickly turned the muzzle..."Boom..."A ball of fire flashed out at the muzzle. An artillery shell, under the action of the huge thrust generated by the burning of gunpowder, quickly flew out of the muzzle and smashed directly into the position where the chief of staff of the army, Sano Daisa, was standing.

"Chief of Staff, be careful... Boom..."Just as a guard officer next to him reminded him, before he could say anything, a huge shell explosion suddenly sounded at the position of the chief of staff. As a fireball rose, the chief of staff, who was still standing in front of him just now, had been blown up without a trace at this moment. Only the command knife of the chief of staff remained, which was crookedly inserted into the ground, showing off the results of the armored battalion to the army

As the tank guns of one tank opened fire, the remaining eight tanks fired a shell that killed the little devil at their suspicious target, and in a huge explosion, the light and heavy machine gun positions of the army turned into ruins. The craters with a large number of little devils have turned into bloody Shura hells... Under the double blow of tank guns and vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns, the little devils blocking the front of the armored battalion were immediately wiped out. The last line of defense of the army was easily torn apart by the armored battalion. The nine tanks, like a sharp knife, plunged into the chest of the army, and the infantry following the tanks were divided into two. Most of the forces centered on the breakthrough opened by the armored battalion, and quickly broke through to the two flanks. At the same time as expanding the breakthrough point, a large number of the living forces of the Japanese army were eliminated. At the same time, about a regiment of infantry only followed behind the armored battalion, directly into the headquarters of the division a few hundred meters away.

In the face of the Japanese army, which has lost almost all its heavy weapons at this moment, the Yue light tank has almost no opponents to fight. The nine tanks, under the command of the battalion commander, were like a torrent of steel, emitting puffs of black smoke and quickly rushing towards the location of the headquarters of the division.

As for the resistance encountered by the armored battalion along the way, it was either directly destroyed by the dense artillery fire of the armored battalion, or it was wiped out by the infantry that followed closely behind the armored battalion... An armored battalion and an infantry regiment are rampage on the position of the army, like a meat grinder, and on the position of the army, a large amount of the vital strength of the little devils is consumed. Wherever the soldiers passed, the ground must be covered with the corpses of little devils, or the corpses of little devils who have been crushed by tank tracks..."Your Excellency, the commander of the reporting division, the tank units of the Eighth Route Army have rushed over, and they are only less than two hundred meters away from the headquarters, and I ask you to retreat immediately. I'm going to take the guard brigade with me and cover you to the death for a breakout..."Feel the roar of the tanks getting closer and closer. Sticking to the last force of the division headquarters, the captain of the division guard brigade rushed into the headquarters with a face full of gunsmoke, and said loudly to the division commander with a calm face in the headquarters.

"Baga, as an excellent officer of the Imperial Army, even if he dies on the battlefield, he will never retreat. Now I order, the divisional guard brigade, starting with me, to be ready for battle. We are all jade shatters, and we must also destroy the armored units of the Eighth Route Army who dare to attack the headquarters of our divisions and regiments. The commander of the division, Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara, shook his head and ordered with a serious face.

"Hi, Your Excellency Division Commander, swear to live and die with the position. I will immediately go and organize my troops and prepare to launch a final counterattack against the Eighth Route Army and destroy the Eighth Route Army troops that have stormed our position." Looking at the division commander in front of him, the captain of the guard brigade did not hesitate and replied loudly. Turned and rushed out of the command.

And Kenji Dohihara, who was the commander of the division, looked at the back of the captain who rushed out of the headquarters. Then he slowly took out his rifle and pointed it at the heads of several telegraph operators in the headquarters. "Bang bang bang..." A crisp pistol sound sounded in the command headquarters, and several little devil operators, with a hint of puzzlement, fell in a pool of blood.

After solving all his worries, the division commander Kenji Dohihara no longer had any hesitation, picked up the general's knife on the table, and walked towards the outside of the headquarters step by step. Just as he walked to the door, the remaining more than 600 soldiers of the guard brigade were already standing neatly at the door of the headquarters under the command of the captain, waiting for their own review and orders.

"Warriors, you are the most valiant warriors of the Great Empire. Now we are under siege by several times the Eighth Route Army. Here, I can tell you unequivocally that today, death awaits us. However, as a soldier, an excellent soldier, even if he dies on the battlefield, he will never be a prisoner of the Eighth Route Army. Now I order you, raise the weapons in your hands, and join me to launch a charge against the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side, and use the head of the Eighth Route Army to tell them that the Imperial Army of the Great Empire, even if it is killed on the battlefield, will never be taken prisoner....Long live the Imperial Empire, long live His Majesty the Emperor..."Looking at the eyes of the more than 600 soldiers in front of him, all gathered on his body, the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara, quickly drew his command knife, and commanded loudly at the soldiers in front of him..."Long live His Majesty the Emperor, Long live the Empire..."A heaven-shattering roar came from around the headquarters of the divisional division. The last remaining little devil in the entire division let out his dying roar.

"Warriors, rush with me, destroy the Eighth Route Army troops in front of you, and kill them..." The commander of the division, Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara, also showed a smile on his face, and ordered loudly to the soldiers in front of him. At the same time, the command knife in his hand slashed fiercely at the Eighth Route Army troops who were getting closer and closer directly opposite the headquarters.
